____________♧ACE POV♧____________

--

Going back to his house was a big mission he was going to take. It was already night and that meant he was gone or missing since morning. He hoped his father didn't realise even though that was kind of impossible. He knew too well that his brother would never willingly keep his mouth shut.

Tiptoeing to the gate, he felt the cold breeze of air ruffle his hair. He noticed that his hair was already sticking to his forehead, it needed a haircut. Ace was always insecure about his jet black hair, his sister and brother had colourful hairs, his sister silver and his brother reddish-orange. His, on the other hand, was plain black which made it look ordinary and dull. It looked like his mother though, but he supposed she was pretty, to begin with. Nonetheless, he always trimmed his hair in a bowl cut that made him look younger than he is. And it looked like his hair was beginning to grow back which concerned him.

Getting back of his daze, Ace peeked quietly from their outer gardens to the gate, the guards were patrolling the space which made his task harder. He just needed to sneak in instantly to avoid certain questions of his father.

Ace huffed out in annoyance, feeling lost as ever. But then his black cat meowed as if it sensed his irritation.

Ace widened his eye "Lucus!" He exclaimed, picking up the cat and moving nearer to the gate "such a brilliant idea I got!" He noted, proud of his brain. "Make yourself a useful cat and go distract them, I bet they will go weak when they see how lovely you are!" He ordered the poor cat, who had its eyes wide open in confusion.

Ace laid the cat down in a swift motion and motioned at him to move "Luc! Pspsps" he called to the cat. He swore it rolled its eyes in annoyance.

Ace watched how his cat ran to the gate and meowed trying to get the guards' attention. And perhaps it worked, as they quickly cooed at the cat and picked it up brushing her fur slowly.

Ace smirked at their sudden softness to a cat. Cats make men weak I see... He quickly climbed up the wall that separated the forest from the house, he tried to land quietly but failed as he let out a whimper in pain. Shit.

The guards definitely heard the noise but Ace hid behind a huge tree so they just dismissed it as a rustling of leaves.

Ace sighed in relief and began to walk to his room.

"Ace!"

The door to his room was so near he could touch it with his fingertips but his sister decided to uncover his whole task right now.

Ace sighed already knowing what she will accuse him of, he turned around giving her his full attention.

He saw how her eyes shifted from anger to concern as she ran to him clearly worried.
"Oh, fates!" She inspected his face then exhaled in worry "what happened to your face young man?"

Ace widened his eyes in shook, how great!
"mmmm, i-i-" he was thinking of a perfect excuse when she cut him off. 

"I know you've been sneaking out these days, don't worry I won't tell dad but I need to understand first" she said in slight anger with exhausted eyes.
