Chapter 16: The Departure.

Chapter 16: The Departure.

Nadine’s POV:

+ Fowl Manor.

After I report back to Uncle Foaly, I saw Ciel together with Mom and Dad alone. In the future we had the same house, same situation, sometimes… They are having a conversation about the Fowl Empire, its companies and investments, LEP and other simple things like how’s school…

“Where’s everyone?” I asked as I sit facing them.

“They left after you excuse yourself.” Mom said and I was like ‘ahh’ and nodding also…

“You should rest…” Ciel suggests.

“What am I doing?” I ask…

“You are not resting.”

“So what does resting mean to you?”

“Go back to your room and sleep.”

“What?! No… I’m not sick okay!”

“I know you are not sick.”

“Then why are you ordering me to sleep?”

“Simply to rest.” I rolled my eyes and put a face palm.

“Mom, tell him something!” Mom didn’t say anything, worse even Dad. I know I should sleep. Recovering from a massive loss of power needs also a lot of energy.

“Why is this day full of someone ordering me around?!” Ciel just shrug. I went to kitchen and eat something…

“Where are you going?” He asked.

“To the kitchen. If I’m going to rest, I prefer to eat…thank you. And besides, I didn’t say I’ll sleep…” Then I turned away.

Holly’s POV:

+ Fowl Manor. Living Area.

“Well, look how stubborn your daughter is…” He began. “Even Mom can’t keep her up.”

“What do you mean?” Artemis asks.

“I don’t want to say it. It may put some conflict in the future time…”

“What are the chances we suddenly change the future by this?” I ask…

“50%” Ciel said.

“Then I guess we don’t have to know… We’re going to find about it anyway.” Artemis closed the issue, but I can’t… You know… Mother’s instinct.

Then Butler and his sister Juliet came…

“So…” Juliet turned to Ciel… “You’re their son?”

“Yes, Aunt Juliet.” Ciel said, and Juliet squealed, saying he calls him Aunt…he look like Artemis’, he has my slight skin color, blah-blah-blah… which is true… I made my heart fluttered but I can’t ease when there is something that Ciel can’t say to us…

After a long story telling of embarrassment about Artemis and I, Nadine enters with a big plate full of fruits… She sits and gets a slice of the fruit. She has this aura that makes you pause at what you’re doing and look at her.

“What? Grab? Especially you two…” Nadine turns to her parents. “… Eat to regenerate your strength.”

Ciel started to get some and started teasing Nadine, then the two Butlers and Artemis and I. It was a real family when you picture it… I wish us some memories of this.
