The Three

The Three Part 1

From above a window in the trio's house, we see a branch shaking,  at the tip of it    we see  an Azure -winged magpie on the branch, it's head and eyes darting around  , with it's beautiful white chest proudly stuck out, then , from the sky, a black figure descends, flying straight at the bird , it collides with it, our view still kept on the branch though, before another magpie sits on the branch, and chirps cheerfully, a lot more colourful and brighter than the first, before letting out a hiss.

Backto the family, the parents tuck the kids in, but eldest  feels something... odd about them, but she can't seem to put her finger on what precisely.. ,  she couldn't shake the thought off the glass breaking in the kitchen, it's shattering sound ringing in her head . The nextday, the three kids and the parents are out in  the city,  getting closer and closer to the  sea  laughing their heads off. << I still can't believe Eio got scared of her own reflection in the house of mirrors << dad said chuckled << such a scaredy cattttt <<  Eio rolls her eyes, then smirks << well dad, you weren't particulary brave when Sio jumped up at you from the dark, know were ya? <<     The dad scoffs << It just surprised me, that's all.. <<  All the while Mio was looking around at the tall buildings and  looking around at the coffee shops and trees, his eyes lighting up when he saw the river<< guys let's get over there ! << he said excitedly, running over to the pier , the mom patting Sio in her arms , as they approach the pier, the now wood planks under their feet creaked a little, probably from the moisture ,  once the group set their arms over the  handrails , Eio looking pensive as she watching the seagulls in the air and gliding over the waves, the salt already starting to fill her lungs up well, the mom breaks the silence by saying: <<hey um, kids, we wanted to go out with you as an.. apology<< the kids looked quite confused, waiting for what the mom would say as they looked at  her , she sighed and continued : << we know we haven't been too active with you guys recently, but we wanted to make it up and  be more, here for you guys.. <<   this makes the younger ones tear up, but the eldest;s expression isbitter sweet...

At night time, the room is dark, then suddenly a finger flicks the lights on, Sio and Mio waking up <<W-why is the light on?<< Eio tells them to shush << We gotta talk, let's go downstairs<< they get a rope and slide down their window, accidentally breaking a flower pot down there, making Eio stopped dead in her tracks , to see if mom and dad heard anything. <<Alright<< she said in a near whisper <<let's go to our tree << she pointed  at their camphor tree in the backyard, where they would hang out from time to time since they were kids, they all gave it's trunk one big kiss before all sitting under it, Sio looking up at Mio with big puppy eyes <<what is it Eio? I'm cold out here <<    <<S-sorry you two, but it's something odd I noticed << , remember that night when we found that baby in the alley way? << Mio thought for a second, before saying <<nope<< Eio smacks the back of his head << Idiot.. , anyway ,  that whole day, and the day before that our parents would not come out of the kitchen, at all. Isn't that a bit strange? << Mio looked confused, his feet playing with the grass, then he said : <<Well mom and dad  have always been very trustworthy people,  I doubt they were up to anything bad, right?<< He looked a little worried himself, but trying to hide it << Ugh, fine, I admit, I feel  like there is something wrong Eio, but I don't know what..  do you have any idea? << Eio bit her nails, looking up at mom and dads window. << Not the slightest clue<<  she closed her eyes and saw a glass smashing   in the dark, in a million pieces  , she got scared and her arms glowed purple, before blasting a ball of energy into the field, putting the grass on purple fire , Mio and Sio holding onto her<< Eio!<< Eio was  panting , breathing short breaths, before calming down << I'm f-fine<< We zoom out from the two, the colourful bird still on it's branch, watching them , hissing quietly as the picture ...
