Standing by the front gate, Felix averted his gaze, looking for the young girl who was so petty. She was still so, needing more room to grow. His smile appeared as soon as he spotted her. Raising his arm in the air, trying to get her attention, the bodyguard called her name.

The girl stopped, searching for the source of the voice and once their eyes met, both grinned widely.

"Please don't run, Milady," Felix warned as she started to charge toward him. Once she did, Athanasia greeted him with another daily dose of her warm hug.

"We are not getting ice cream before your dinner and there is no way you can make me." He laughed lightly as he took her hand and started walking to the parking lots.

"Eh... Athy hasn't said anything..."

"I know you are planning something, Milady."

"I am not!"

"A hug won't buy your way to your sweet treats. Lilian will dispose of me if you end up with another bad stomachache."

"Fine... But can we at least get some cotton candy?"

"I am deeply concerned for your health regarding this sweet tooth indulgence."

"Diabetes you meant. Athy learned about that through the anatomy class."

"Would you want to become a doctor someday? Lilian can teach you."

"Uh.... No.... Red color is... scary..."

"Ah... You are afraid of blood I assumed."

"No... Because Athy saw this... guy with... sparkly red eyes... And then... and then... He grabbed Athy!"

Felix froze and then knelt down, holding Athanasia by both of her arms. "The whole premises are controlled and we made sure there were no abnormal activities." He shook her lightly, looking concerned as ever. "When did that happen?! Did he hurt-"

"Felix! Felix! Calm down!"

"How do I calm down when there was a dude stepping on His Excellency's grass!!?"

"You talked funny..."

"Milady! This is not a time for a joke!"

"It's only a dream!"

"Eh?"

"Don't 'Eh' Athy! Come on! Let's go get cotton candy before we go home!"

"Please don't scare me with something like that again..."

"Athy was scared too. In that dream, that guy grabbed Athy's cheeks then! Then! Athy tried to call for Felix, but Felix ignored Athy!"

"Eh?! How could I commit such a crime?"

"Maybe that guy had a magic power? He did this." She snapped her fingers. "Then POOF! Felix couldn't see or hear Athy anymore!"

"Okay okay... Enough of that now, Milady, let us get home." He turned around and held his kneeling position. "Piggyback ride to the car?"

"Eh... No... It's too embarrassing. Athy isn't five anymore..."

"If you say so."

Getting up on his feet, Felix dusted his suits and extended a hand for Athanasia to hold. As they walked past the alley, a voice screamed out in pain somewhere near the darkened entrance, so fainted, so far away, yet the wind carried it for the two to hear.

"Felix..."

"Yes?"

"I heard... Someone-"

"You must be very hungry, Milady. Let's us hurry home."
