Alyssa's Cup Of Tea ✔️

🐇 Chapter 9

The morning at the Laceheart Manor was an irony of last night's wild merriment, gone were the bright lively lights, noises from chattering and loud music. Forgotten and buried at the back of their heads that some disruption happened along the way. Today, the sophisticated land where Marchen's sun lived was almost an ideal structure straight from an unreachable frivolous, affluent lifestyle. A gorgeous towering, expanded masonry of amber. The gold color meant to impose on anyone who would pass by, to make it stand out. The wind made it nice to spend some time outside, natural sounds only floated in the spacious garden behind. A solitary scene should have been.

Naldo's whisper held no control, it was slow and he intended each words to be coated in provocation, to lure his enchanting distant cousin into doing the forbidden. Because engaging in such session was sinfully addicting, it brought a surge of thrill in his veins. "Let me eat you, cousin. I will make you feel so good, you'll forget all the pain your father make you go through. All the hurtful words, I'll numb that worthless feeling with pleasure" He didn't care about the undying rumors about Alyssa's mother—his aunt—being crazy, it never appealed to him whether it was true or not, those were trivial the moment he met Alyssa.

Oh dear god it was lust at first sight, Midori would never ever compare.

A smile curved on Naldo's lips when the white-haired beauty didn't flinch nor react to his whispers, encouraged that the words were finally getting in that pretty albeit stubborn head. "I see, you must be starting to find reason in this, hm, my sweet?" He dared become bolder by caressing Alyssa's exposed neck with his knuckles down to her collarbone then oh-so-slowly he pushed down the sleeve off her shoulder to bare more skin. He was beginning to feel his trousers going tighter at the luscious tease, what more once she was stripped off? "I knew you were only fooling around with that headstrong facade of yours, you purposely wanted to rile things up between us first, hm?"

Pushing his luck further, Naldo Laceheart brought a finger close to Alyssa's lips. Arousal was going to hit the roof soon and they were barely getting southward. He pushed his finger between her naturally rouge tainted lips, feeling her tongue. "So soft, damn it..." Nothing but lecherous images and made-up clips were playing in his head whilst pushing his finger in and out of those pretty lips. How would it feel once her mouth is--

"AAAHHHH!!!" The twisted malicious fantasies came to an abrupt halt soon as it was replaced with pain of his finger forced to break. Naldo watched in horror as Alyssa stared back at him with those heterochromatic eyes, his finger between her lips and she wasn't letting go. "Fuck! Release it!" Naldo pulled away but the white-haired beauty didn't budge, only biting on that lone disgusting finger harder.

CHOMP. CHOMP.

Blood and scream of agony crashed the serene morning, the crimson that sprouted almost like a geyser from Naldo's bitten finger sprayed on some of the vase flowers nearby and the porcelain tea tray Alyssa had on the table.

Alyssa watched her sleazy cousin trembled backward, his wide frightened eyes staring at his missing finger—the half of it was still stuck in her mouth. She spat out the finger in timing when Naldo gaped his mouth to yell and it went straight inside his mouth. "I have enough of everyone's bullshit, you want us to eat at the palm of your hands? Fuck you."

No retort came from Naldo because he was occupied in choking in his finger, he held a hand to his neck trying to get the clog out but his finger was already stuck somewhere deep in his esophagus to be thrown out. Gone was the confident, haughty stance he had earlier and under the ruthless gaze of Alyssa, he appeared like a sloppy mess with blood.

Hm? Nearby, the pale-haired beauty's gaze went to the right, near the bed of black roses she loved to stare at. So random to see a shovel lying there and...a black rabbit with round red eyes standing next to it, the animal was fluffy cute but it was booping the shovel with its nose as if...telling her to use it.

Curioser and curioser.

But Alyssa didn't think twice getting the shovel, testing its weight and firmness in her hands then she swung it and bashed Naldo's head. The black rabbit with red eyes watched Alyssa hit that bastard's head multiple times until he was no longer recognizable. Naldo's body fell limp on the ground along with the mixture of his shattered skulls mixed in the blood and flesh pieces.

"I need to take a break, no one is around at this hour anyway." Alyssa stated to the watchful black rabbit, she was telling the truth as most family members would be working right now in their office building and their father had his goons do a lot of dirty work. She sat back down on the chair and took a sip from her tea, the leafy bitter taste was comforting as it lined down her throat, soothing the blazing rage within.

Nona saw Alessa on the rooftop of the school building during recess period, the strawberry blonde girl was sporting scratches and new bruises atop her old ones. Beside Alessa was her lunchbag, the contents were squashed from being step on earlier but she still tried eating the food.

"Hey," Nona felt bitterness rise from her chest to her throat, a coil of disdain and envy triggered by this clueless dumb bitch. "I don't think it's safe to eat that, they already stepped on it" She never had close interaction with Alessa, not ever.

Alessa tried fixing the braid of her hair, it remained a mess. "I do not want to waste the food Alessio prepared for me and Black said it's not yet spoiled so it's good to be eaten."

There she go with the imaginary friend again, it came as a curious wonder to Nona whether Alessa was too withdrawn from her surrounding, rarely touching grass or she really didn't have the right wirings in the head like her mother. Only two feelings came strong and consciously throbbing like heartbeats whenever Nona got these rare moments to be alone with her odd classmate. And boy was Alessa a headache to deal with.

Nona leaned against the tall railings barricading the rooftop, one to ensued safety. She stood by the opposite across the strawberry blonde girl. "Alessa..." She trailed off, plain eyes squinting with exasperation. "Why won't you get tired of this lifetime? It has nothing to present you, only despair."

"That is not true, I have someone to look forward to. My siblings, Black, even White--"

WRONG! THAT WASN'T THE ANSWER NONA WANTED TO HEAR. The enraged envious girl stepped closer and slapped the food away from Alessa's hands. "You big idiot! How can you remain so optimistic when you are vilified every day?! I fucking hate you!"

'Black' watched from where he concealed himself from the back of the rooftop, saw those physical harmful blows brought down onto the body of beloved Alessa. The girl who caused the disastrous hits was wearing an unseen blindfold of fury, even at this distance 'Black' tasted the oozing liquid from the green-eyed monster in Nona.

The observant silent audience glanced at the pocket watch chained to his waistcoat. It was time.
