Lost Times

"Zian, You Crazed Idiot." (10)

Alice winks at him.

Zian frowned at her sudden behavior. "What if they're just trying to trick you." Zian said while he tries to get the bracelet from Alice's wrist.

"What? What are you doing Zian? You can just ask kindly."

"You don't need that. Come on, give it to me.." Said Zian frustrated.

"Then what are you gonna do about it?" Ask Alice.

"Just.. Let me destroy that thing."

Alice eyes widens. "What!?"

"They're strangers and no matter what they are still strangers. I can't believe you fall for that kind of stuffs.."

"Quit being a jerk" Alice glares at him.

"I'm not being a jerk. I'm just telling you that. You should believe me. Why is it easy for you to believe in anyone else more than your best friend."

"You're overreacting, you sounds like pops sometimes." Alice walk through on him going to their house ignoring Zian lecturing her.

Zian yells back. "Come on!. I'm just worried they might hurt you. Remember what that dude did to you.?"

Alice not responding, giving Zian the silent treatment. Minutes passed and Zian let go of his man pride and breathed out. Zian looked and they've meet eye to eye.

"Okey, I'm sorry I won't let you wear that bracelet and yes I will keep it a secret. I'm being an a--h-- again.. Its not just your dad but you too.. I care about my friend. So please don't you get mad at me."

Alice stares into Zian eyes filling with concern.

"Aw"

"Seriously" Zian raised his eyebrows.

"I'm just joking."

"You forgive me now?" Ask Zian.

"Yeah. Just don't do it again. Will you?.. (Alice sigh) I'm so done giving you second chances."

"What is that?"

"Nevermind."

Zian left out a small chuckle. "You love me that way.."
"Yeah Alice but for one thing."

"What."

"You wouldn't go with them alone. Know what I mean?"

"Whatever dad.." Alice grin and lean closer to Zian.

"What?" Zian said off guard Leaning back. Alice pushed him hard to the ground.

"Ha ha ha.." Alice laughs at him.

Zian letting out a groan having nosebleed from pushing him hard.

"What's so funny?.. After you almost killed me.?" He clears his throat.

Alice smiled grimly at him. "Almost.. Why would I be worry about you.."

Zian stares at her.

"..Just kidding you know I've always got this curing antidote."

Zian smirk. "Antidote huh.." Wiping his nose. "Well here's your antidote.." Zian runs after her.

Alice hastily run. "Zian.. You crazed idiot!"

...

The next day Jobe saw Alice packed. "Woods again?"

Alice respond back. "I'll head home early pops."

Zian looked up to her. "Wait. This time I'm going with you."

"Sure okey." Alice said warily.

"Take care you both." Said Jobe while Wolfe is beside him. They all waved goobye.

...

"Where are we going again?." Zian ask.

"To a place called.. Worelac Kingdom.."

"You sure loved to go there.."

"Of course I am, I hadn't been in that place before, why are you not excited?" Alice questions casually.

"..I don't care." He said. 'Even if I do know I must stay shut. Well.. A promise is a promise (Zian exhales) but why do it feels hard. Its okey' Zian said to his mind.

"Hey!" They both looked up to where the voice coming from. Zian saw her. "Is that?."

Alice first spoke breaking the silence. "Uh, oh yeah. So this is my best friend Zian Drail and Zian, this is Sireine Worelac a.."

"Okey I got it." Zian stops her. Sireine looks through him eyes widen.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." Sireine said to him.

"Uh.. Yeah hi." Sireine looks at him while he stood there awkwardly.

"Where's your younger brother." Ask Alice casually.

"You mean Jace." Alice nods. "Oh, his here." She said while they noticed Jace, Sireine pinch his ear.

"Aw.. You can stop now.!" Jace said a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, sorry.." Siren smiled.

Jace fixed his clothes and stand up straighter.

"Hey Jace." Alice greets him.

"Oh hey. Oh you brought your friend."

Moments passed. Alice stomach grumbles. "Wanna eat? My treat." Sireine said looking through her.

"Do I have any other choice." Alice laughs while Zian remain silent.

"Then let's go.!"

...

They go to the town of Worelac Kingdom. Alice noticed something on the corner of her eyes. "Well looked at that yummy dumplings."

"Good idea Alice." Then they all went to the dumplings market, later they were all busy eating dumplings except for Alice.

Alice groans "..Still forgot I don't have enough money.." She mutters under her breath.
Alice exhales a deep breath. Zian looked at her and was about to share his dumplings with her suddenly something stops him.

"Zian? You must try this out its so good.." Sireine said to him.

"No thank you I already have."

Sireine looks through him. "Why don't you try this one instead?" Sireine said pointing at the Chinese dumplings.

Zian responds back. "No, I want spicy dumplings." Sireine nods. Zian turned to Alice. "Are you okey?." Alice looked at him. "Yeah.." Alice kept looking at the food. Alice then sighs "damn it, I'm so hungry.." She whispered.

Zian thought for a moment. "Maybe I should try to give her this." Zian looked first at Sireine then to Alice again. "Ah.. Alice.?" Alice looked right to Zian.

Jace suddenly spoke. "Do you want some of mine Alice? I'm kinda full anyway."

"Y-yes thank you Jace.." Alice take the food eagerly to Jace's hands. 'Finally' Alice mutter hungrily. She then take a bite.

"Don't eat to much or you might.." Jace said

Alice was eating looking at Jace. "What? Are you telling me some-" Alice coughs.

Jace continued his words. "Choked yourself.."

"Are you okey?." Sireine said a bit worried while Alice is still coughing.

Zian narrowed his eyes to Jace eyes burning. "This is all your fault!" Zian said angrily at him.

Jace eyes widens. "Me? She's the one who.."

"Can you guys argue later!." Sireine said to them a bit of panicky.

They both stopped and Jace put his attention to Alice.

"Quick do something." Sireine yells.

"Huh.." Jace hugged Alice from the back and squeezing her stomach while patting her back with light force. A bit later the dumplings bits flew out of her mouth.

Jace let go of his hold then Alice clears her throat. "Than-k you.. Jace." She said then coughs again.

"Good job!" Sireine relaxed her shoulders relieved.
