PREAMBUL; And Now... You're Dead. Again.

Woah. So Now There's A Stalker

Hours later. Alesh and Grier cooked something a little fancy and westernized. A chicken has been cooked into a chicken butter sauce, leftover rice divided into 19 servings of baked rice with sausages, smoked beef, carrots, and cheese on top. Previously ate Shrimp Bruschetta as appetizers. Alesh also makes puddings, which are currently still in the refrigerator.

"Where did you get all these ingredients?" Vasyl asked.

"Some of it already exists, some of which we bought online earlier," Grier answered, "we're kinda running out of foods, so Mother gave us money. Incidentally, we also know that you want to have fun with Casya, so we make dishes that take a lot of time. Because whether you realize it or not, it's already 45 minutes past dinner time."

Vasyl grinned, "At least not only Casya and I who are happy, right?"

Grier rolled his eyes, then sat down next to Vasyl and began to eat. He, Alesh, and Vasyl didn't get appetizers, but they're happy enough to see the kids, hearing them saying Yum! Or Delicious!

"So," Eidlan said when there's only four of them in the dining room, "what were you doing with my sister?"

Vasyl flinched, "We... went to the mall and took pictures."

"Just that?"

"Oh, come on Eidlan." Alesh stacked the dishes into the sink, "don't ruin the fun! You better come here, help me wash the dishes and clean the table."

Eidlan scowled, "Where are the others?"

"Helped Mother take care of the little ones," Alesh replied, "quick! Clean the table!"

"Yes ma'am."

Alesh holds a smile when she saw the way Eidlan pouting and wiping the table carelessly — But still clean. Eidlan smiled to her a second later, then helped Alesh to tidy up the plates.

"Eh, so..." Grier slowly step back, "can we sleep?"

"You wish!" Both of them shouted, "take a broom and a mop, clean the floor!"

The twins saluted like soldiers, hurried to get a broom and mop. Grier swept, Vasyl mopping. They finished 30 minutes later, then sat on the living room floor while drinking orange juice and playing cards.

For a moment, they felt so normal.

*****

A week just passed by.

"Hey Casya, smile here!" Alesh directed his camera towards Casya who smiled sweetly.

Casya ran back as fast as possible toward the children who are playing (a real and fun with no risk to death) chase. Eidlan, Vasyl, and Grier are also there. Alesh smiled, she raised her camera and began photographing the moment.

"Hey, Al!" Grier called, but it was him who approached Alesh and seized the camera, "don't be like that, come play there! I'll take the picture, we all have to be in the photo!"

Alesh giggled, let Grier hold her camera and start playing. This is actually forbidden to her, playing Chase-or-got-chased can trigger her asthma (But oh well, she's always playing Chase). But this is a moment that she rarely feels, it can't be missed.

Unfortunately that didn't last long.

"AAALLEEESSSHHHHH!" Mother placed the groceries she bought, "go inside!"

"Five more minutes," Alesh whined.

"Five more minutes to play and a week in the ER!" Mother snapped, which strangely felt warm for Alesh, "hurry up and take a shower, rest, and do nothing!"
