The Last of the Miras

VI | Roku

The Mira family excluding their family representative went out of the Celestial Building. The three of them were busy running away. It was only until they arrived safely back at their mansion.

"Axel-niisan, what are we to do now?" Helen inquired her brother while catching her breath from running.

"I don't know, Helen-chan." 

Her brother closed his eyes for a moment as he leaned on the wall near the main door and opens them again before he looks above the ceiling, "I really don't know." he whispered.

"Axel, what did your father say to you before this happened?" Athena calmly asked her son.

The mentioned son took a deep breath and faces his mother as he replied. "He only said that we should stay here for awhile." 

He paused and gulped before he continued, "If anything happens, he would be back in time."

The mother nodded in acknowledgement. She faced her two children and commanded. "We should pack up so that we'll be ready in case we have to leave this place."

After the words that came from St. Athena, her children St. Axel and St. Helen went to their separate rooms to get their things ready before their father comes. As for their mother, she mirrored her children's action and went inside the master's bedroom to gather the important things they would need as a family.

Inside the youngest Mira family member's bedroom, the ten year old started preparing the things she would need if they were to leave Mariejois permanently.

As Helen's preparations was almost finished, she felt that something—or rather—a tug was calling out to her although the girl didn't know what it was about. She felt it coming from her bedroom window. Grabbing her signature yellow cloak that hung from a vintage coat rack, she wore it over her entire person.

Helen closed the suitcase with finality and brings the bag along before she went near towards her bedroom's casement window. She gently opened the window curiously and cautiously. The wind blew the dandelion colored curtains, causing it to fly wildly up and down repeatedly.

She knew and felt that the pull that was calling for her earlier became stronger than she was away from the window. The girl looked around for anything she could use as a stepping stone to land safely on the ground. When she found one, the girl threw the cream colored suitcase with accuracy and precision where it safely landed. Right after, she jumped from her window swiftly and did some acrobatics in a circular motion, bending her knees before she lands on the ground.

Without wasting any moment, she ran from their lot towards where the pull is taking her.

St. Alexander hurriedly ran towards the Mira mansion after what had transpired inside the meeting room.

Looks like I won't be able to pay back the favor St. Homing did for our family. He lamented.

Or maybe, we still can? He positively added and yet it was snuffed out as the patriarch nagged it off once he had arrived after running back to their mansion.

The main door of the house creaked open, revealing the head of the family. He scanned the whole room, searching for the rest of his family with his voice booming around the house.

"Athena, Axel, Helen! We need to go now!"

Within less than a minute, only his wife and son appeared before him, bringing all their respective suitcases.

"Alex, here." His wife held out a light brown colored suitcase as he took it from her.

The three of them walked away from the mansion towards the port.

By time they had arrived in their destination, they boarded their family ship with their family's coat-of-arms as the figurehead of the ship.

All was set ready for the family when they noticed they forgot something—or rather—someone of importance.

"Where's Helen?"
