Dream and Disaster

Chapter Seven

  The dark humid air that breezes on my skin. The morning sun has risen with dark hues that has shone to the drunken bastards since last night's feast. Everyone seemed to be happy, the Hollows, Wights, my fellow maids and my other fellow staff in my community. I smelled the air a bit.

It is cold and humid as usual.. Wait a minute,

There's something fishy going on here.

Something that has a different hint and I can't barely recognize.

It's at the tip of my tongue, what is it?

It smells like.. blood.

"MASTER! I CAUGHT ME OWN BOAR! AND ITS A WILD ONE!"

I turned around to look at my sister. Crikey hell, she has blood all over her and some bruises as well. This is very worrying in my case. Glad mom and dad aren't around or else I'd be dead.

"Aren't you proud of me?" As she puppy-eyed my face.

"Maybe, it's just that, YOU'RE FOURTEEN MAN. YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT! ASK PERMISSION FROM ME OR FROM THE STAFF FIRST BEFORE YOU HUNT."

She acted innocent like nothing happened. "Well I don't know, I was asking you a while ago but you're asleep. The same thing with everybody else."

I touched touched and examined some of her bruises, "look at you even. This is very worrying of you."

"Well what time did you even go out?"

"Three or four I guess?"

TH-TH-THREE IN THE FUCKING MORNING? I SETTLED A CURFEW AFTER MIDNIGHT. REASONABLE THAT IT'S LAST NIGHT BUT STILL THEY NEED TO SLEEP. (Because sleep is the best thing you can ever have and nothing will defeat the heaven in your bedroom.) Did I tell her about the curfew thing? I guess not.

"That. Fucking. Early?"

"Yep. That early." She smiled like she didn't do anything wrong.

"Haven't I told you before about the curfew?"

"No, I guess."

"Well we have a curfew after midnight. Also, where did you hunt anyway?" I asked her.

"Outside the village. In the forest."

She has some guts than I don't have. I'm a terrible sister.

I sighed a bit to relieve my stress. "I know that you're going to rub it on my face that you're better than me whatsoever. But please, I beg a lot, can you have an at least someone to supervise you even? You're pretty much hurt that's for sure and it might get worst or maybe even worst at this case."

She rolled her eyes trying to carry the boar on her shoulder. "Well I just want to try some tricks that Fort has taught me."

Fortis Apiston you say?

"The boy who taught you how to assassinate a Hollow?"

"Well, yes you absolute stalker."

The dusk grew older, making my mouth water for supper. Everyone else seems to be awake since the light has become even warmer. Some snow frost has come to melt. I think it is time for me to eat.

"I'll explain you the rest at the dining room. I'm already starving for breakfast since you hunted down a boar." As I said in a very annoyed yet hungry tone.

"Guess I'm hungry as well." She responded.

There are some things that she doesn't know about yet. I only told her a fraction of the story. The Peculiars she has encountered are not what they really seem. That's why I worry about her much. Very, very much.
