The Milk [On-Hold]

Chapter 3 (EDITED)

The Story

Julia’s POV

While I was taking a bath I was thinking about my parents. About how they are? Are they in heaven? Are they fine? I know there is something mysterious about our town. I knew our town was suspicious. But in my point of view when I was still a child out town was joyful. But as soon as I grew, I feel like something's changing too.

After taking a bath I went to the bedroom and found Stephen, topless, lying on the bed while his right arm was covering his eyes. I’m not really sure if he is really asleep, but I guess he doesn’t mind me naked.

Wait a minute. I am naked. I have no clothes to wear. I went to the cabinet and was surprised to that there was nighties just as the same as my size. Maybe his mother know me. But, oh well. I will know the story behind our town tomorrow. But for now, I have to rest my eyes.

I went up to the bed and lie down. I noticed that there was a pillow in between Stephen and me. I figured that he put that there on purpose.

I looked up in the ceiling and find our position really awkward. But I put that feeling out of my mind. I close my eyes and immediately dozed off.
~~~
I was awaken by the light that shined in my eyes. I rubbed my eyes to look at my surrounding. I was Stephen standing beside the curtains. I figured that it was him who separated the curtains wide.

“Good morning, sleepyhead. How was your sleep?” Stephen asked and grinned.

“Fine. I had a great sleep but then someone woke me up by shinning a light in my eyes instead of waking me up by calling my name,” I replied sarcastically and went down from the bed.

“Come on. Let’s have breakfast. I have a long long story to tell you.” Not minding my sarcasm.

I just rolled my eyes and followed him towards the dinning table. I saw two apples in the table.  Two bowls of soup and two cups of coffee. I don’t know where he got does but I am really hungry. So, I brought myself to seat and eat the bowl of soup. After a few minute I finished eating. I ate my apple and drink the half of my coffee.

“Thank you for the breakfast.” After saying that I left him in the dinning table.

I was about to reached for the door knob but then a hand grab my wrist and turn me around to face him.

“What are you doing?!” our position was just the same as our position last night when I was about to ran away.

“I prepared and invited you for breakfast. So, we could eat together. And talk. But what Pdid you do?! You left me standing while eating your food without thanking me properly.” He said those word and tighten his grip in my wrist.

“So…what?!” I said bravely. But my insides were really afraid. I tried to stay strong.

“So what?! You think that was a good manner? Didn’t your parents teach you how to respect others? Aren’t you going to say sorry?!” his eyes was raging as he tighten his grip.

“Ah! Ah! Hey that really hurts! Let me go!” I shouted. “There you go again. Without manners. How will I let you go without you saying please? You haven’t even said that your sorry?” he said.

“Okay! Okay! I am SORRY and PLEASE let me go.” He smirked and let me go.

I rubbed my wrist and glared at him. How dare he?!
“Sit back there and join me while I eat since you already ate your food then we’ll talk about the town we were living for so many years,” he stated while walking towards the dining table.

I just followed him back to the dining table.
“So, begin your story. I am waiting to hear this since yesterday.”
I was shocked when he put down his food. And when I looked at his bowl of soup it was already empty. Wow! He’s fast eater.
“A long long time ago, before our town was built. There was a big village standing there lead by King Victa and Queen Aiana. The village was very peaceful. The couple had a twin. Two healthy baby boys. They were both strong. They grew up happy. But when the time came when the king needs one of his son to inherit his throne.”

“Oh, that’s a tricky decision to make,” I stated with my mouth open.

“Yeah, that’s why King Victa prepared a challenge for the both of them. Vinsen , the eldest of the twin, he wanted the position all for himself. While Vill worked really hard to achieve the position. He worked day and night. While Vinsen had his own plan. The day of the challenge came and Vill was so ready for it. Vinsen set many traps along the path of Vill. Their challenge was simple. Each of them has their own pathway. And along the way there were many obstacle waiting for them. But Vinsen sent men to clear all the obstacles for him and set many many traps for his brother, Vill.”

“That’s cheating. That’s so mean and evil,”
“Let me finish first okay. As the competition start along the way Vill didn’t gave up he was a fighter. And he was the first one to finish the challenge. King Victa was proud of Vill while Vinsen was down. Really down. Then, he stated from that day onward who ever walks through the path he was challenged in shall be cursed. One day, Vill fell in love with a maiden. They got married. While Siana was walking in a path she was not familiar. She felt something in her vein crawling around her body. It was the curse of Vinsen himself. Siana turned into a demonic lady searching of a powerful milk. Only those milk can make the world a better place. Vill locked Siana up and looked for a cure, along the way he realize that Siana herself was the cure. Vill tried Siana to suck her breast and she tured into a human once again. But the curse was still alive. There were many monster lurking aroung under the curse of Vinsen. Vill and Siana fought together. Vill has his strength using Siana’a milk. They didn’t have a baby but there was a milk inside Siana’s breast,”

“So,why did the world turned chaos it doesn’t even make sense?”

“I figured that too. But they said that it just the world. Before it happened it was already chaos. And now we are the chosen ones.  Our parents are just like Vill and Siana, they protected the village but when they were over powered by evil the village was destroyed ,that’s why our grandparents created the town but once again it was devastated. Same position. Same place. Same time. It’s just destiny.” He sighed. 

“I still don’t understand but nah… so when will we start our training?”
“When the right time comes,”
“When is the right time?”
“When we’re ready.”
“Okay,fine.”
“Take a nap for a while. I’m just gonna look for our food, okay?”
“Okay.”

I went to our room and took a nap.

Zzzzz…

~~~
I suddenly felt someone tapping my cheeks. I groaned as I opened my eyes. My vision was blur until it became clear then I saw Stephen looking down at me, smiling.

“You really are a sleepyhead. I have been waking you for the past 40 minutes,” he said while chuckling.

I just ignored his comment and stood up to go to the bathroom. After peeing, I went out and saw Stephen leaning against the wall.

“Come on, let’s have a snack then we’ll talk about something. And this something is where our lives are depending on. So…let’s get started and for you to be used to our arrangement, okay?” he said.

“Okay, you’re the boss,” I salute.
