Rina sauntered over with her bright and yellow bun bopping about. She went to Elisa and plopped down next to her. She placed a packet down that overflowed with powdered sugar.
"Do you wanna try this candy?" Rina asked. She opened the cover and there were square blocks hidden in the sugar like it was a sandbox.
"What's that?" Elisa's reddened eyes slowly peered over. Her head cranked with pain and she struggled to sit comfortably.
"They are Greek Turkish Delight. They are really nice," Rina stated and took one up. She immersed it in the sugar and stuffed it into her mouth.
Elisa stared at her and the box before taking one herself. She mirrored her friend and consumed it. It was indeed extremely sweet, especially when the sugar glazed over the tongue like snow.
"It nice." Elisa smiled which made Rina smile also.
"I knew you would like it," Rina said and took another one. She began taking multiple and her fingers got coated with the sugar.
"My mommy buys this all the time, so I get to eat them a lot."
"My mommy got me candy," Elisa mumbled, "I want her hug me." She shuffled and wrapped her own arms around her body.
"Aw it's okay, I will give you a hug!" Rina then eagerly jumped up and smothered Elisa into a beer hug, making her bubble up in giggles.
"You're so cuddly!" Rina said and squeezed her tighter. Elisa tried hugging back but the because of the violent scratches on her arm, she squeaked in pain.
"I'm sorry," Rina said, letting go. "Did that hurt?"
"A little," Elisa murmured and moved away, whimpering as she tucked in her knees. Her thin body began shaking as some tears trickled down.
"Sorry, didn't mean to." Rina went closer and brushed her cornrows back to soothe her. She grinned which comforted Elisa as she raised her spongy cheeks. She then noticed Axel was far away and huddled into a corner.
"Axel, try this." Elisa offered the boxes towards him. They sparked wonder in his eye, and he started crawling slowly towards him. He wept a little and tiny droplets fell onto the floor. Once he got to them, he pulled the box a bit down. He licked his lips and tasted some of the powdered sugar with the tip of his finger.
"Yummy," he peeped and ate more. All three of them started eating the blocks, and dipping them in sugar while chatting together.
Meanwhile, Mona was stood by a table, while testing various kinds of liquids over a blade. She puffed out some smoke. They floated over the dark streak of eyeliner that lapped over her eye, like the train of thoughts that went round her head.
Her skinny hands tapped against the table. She was starting to question whether she was doing the right thing. She didn't like seeing the children suffer but she wanted to punish Mariana for Xavier's death. She kept thinking whether Xavier would still be alive if he had just got rid of her there and then.
She gripped the knife and sliced the wooden counter.
If only she didn't escape, he would still be here...
A second time she stabbed the counter.
Why did she have to run...
A third time the blade severely struck the counter. But this time, it tumbled towards the floor, breaking her thoughts. Raidan was about to pick it up, but she grabbed it quickly and placed it where no one could reach.
She cleaned up any mess and rubbed her eyes tiredly, for her thoughts consumed most of her energy. Lately, she wondered what Xavier wanted with Mariana. Even though it sometimes popped up in her mind, she hardly questioned it as her father would always say:
