The sun went down and darkness covered the sky. Leia peeped from the small glass window to the sky that had a bright half-moon and thousands of stars on it. A deep sigh left her lips and a half-smile crept on her brims. They always said that when a person dies, they would become a star and shine down on their loved ones, and right now she's hoping that it's true.
The door to the attic creaked open and Leia turned her head to the door. A deep frown emerged on her face when she saw who it was and her hand tightly balled into a fist. "What are you doing here?" She glared at her sister who was walking towards her with a first aid kit in her hand.
Amy ignored her and placed the first aid kit on the floor when she got close to her. She glanced at Leia and took a deep breath. "Just let me help you. Those wounds need treatment." She stared at her with an entreating look on her face.
"Get! out!" Leia's eyes narrowed and she coldly emphasized her words. These people are so bothersome. Why can't they just leave her alone!
Amy squatted down beside her and opened the first aid kit. "I will only get out after I make sure those wounds are treated." She picked out cotton wool and poured a little spirit on it. She attached it to the scissors on her right hand and reached out her hand to clean the face of the wounds on Leia's back, however, her hand was abruptly caught by Leia. "Are you deaf? I said get out of here!" Her cold eyes viciously glared at Amy and her grip on her wrist tightened.
"Leia please don't do this! Don't hurt yourself." Amy snatched her hand away and proceeded to treat her wound. She will treat her even if she abuses or pushes her away.
Leia's eyes narrowed and her hand clenched and unclenched in resentment. She hatefully grabbed Amy's hand which was about to touch her and furiously pushed her away, causing her to fall heavily on the cold floor. She walked towards her and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, bringing her face close to hers. "Stay! The fuck! away from me!" She stared deep into Amy's eyes as she accentuated her every word. She let go of her collar and pushed her to the floor.
With one last vicious glare at Amy, she turned around and walked back to the window. Her pitch-black pupils gazed up to the sky and her face hardened more.
Amy stared at her and what seemed like tears gradually welled up in her eyes. "Do-do you remember when we were 13?" She nervously fiddled with her fingers and her lips slightly trembled. "We were best friends then and we-we did a lot together."
Leia's eyes flickered and she slowly turned her head to stare at Amy. Her balled fist gradually released and an unknown glint flared in her eyes."
We would always steal cookies from the kitchen and get reprimanded by grandma later in the night." Amy raised her teary eyes to stare at Leia. "Do-do you remember that you would always protect me then and took blames for my wrongdoings?" Her body shivered and she flickered her wet lashes.
Leia's eyes became less cold and it darted around the room. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath, clearly showing she remembers. She opened them and stared at Amy with a little tenderness in her eyes. "Just lea-"
"What happened to that friendship?" Amy cut her off before she could finish her sentence. "Why aren't we best friends anymore? Did I wrong you? I have no idea if I did or not! But if I did, am sorry! Leia I am sorry!" She glanced up to the ceiling and wiped away the tears on her face.
She stood up from the floor and walked towards the motionless Leia who was staring at her with complicated eyes. She stood in front of her and gently grabbed her hand. Leia averted her gaze to the sky refusing to spare a glance at her.
"Just let me treat you." Amy tenderly grabbed her face and made her look at her. She pleaded with a pessimistic expression on her face.
Leia stared at her and took a deep breath. She snatched her hand from Amy and walked away from the window to sit on the floor. She raised her brow and glanced at Amy who stood motionless by the window. "Are you going to treat me or not?"
"Oh..," Amy nodded and walked towards her. She opened the first aid kit and proceeded to treat her wound.

Flipping through papers with a pair of glasses on his eyes, Adrik scanned through the documents in his hands. He stacked it up when he was done and packed it into the drawer of his desk, he then took a deep breath and adjusted his white suit.
The door creaked open, causing him to glance at the door and see Alex strolling towards him.
"Supreme Alpha, a message came from Mr. Adolpho." Alex took a slight bow and straightened up with a serious expression on his face. "He invites you to Pompane hotel for a word."
Adrik leaned back on his chair and crossed his leg with a smile on his scarred face. "Pompane hotel," He repeated with a nod of his head. "He's such an expensive man, don't you think?"
"Uhm... " Alex's eyes darted around and he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. His Alpha likes to put him in a tight spot. What is he expecting him to answer? He glanced at Adrik and chuckled lightly.
Adrik's face darkened a little bit and he sat up straight on his seat. "Time?"
"Six o'clock pm today," Alex lifted his face and answered sharply.
Adrik nodded his head and tapped the pen in his hand on the table. He raised his eyes and stared at Alex. "We are going to his house, I don't do hotel shits."
"What!" Alex blinked his eyes in confusion. A hotel or a cafe is always the best place for two people to see, especially if it's for business. He doesn't understand why his Alpha would suggest Mr. Adolpho's house? He raised his eyes and glanced at Adrik who was still tapping the pen on the table and his eyes couldn't help but flicker in confusion once again.
Adrik also glanced at him and abruptly dropped the pen on the table. "Get the car ready, we are leaving right away."
"Okay..." Alex turned around and proceeded to leave but suddenly stopped when he heard Adrik's deep voice. "Did you find out anything about her?"
"Yes, supreme Alpha." Alex swerved around and placed his hands behind his back. "From my inquiry, I found out that she is the daughter Mr. Adolpho had from his second wife."
"Mr. Adolpho..." Adrik nodded his head and his eyes narrowed into a thin line. "Anything else?" His green eyes glanced at Alex who had his hands behind his back.
"Uhm... No-no," Alex's body trembled nervously and he swallowed hard. How was his Alpha expecting him to have any information within a day, he's not a God!"
"You mean that's the only information you got?" Adrik gazed at him in a questioning manner.
"Ye-yes." Alex cleared his throat and nervously swallowed hard.
"Sometimes you're very useless." Adrik's cold eyes glared at him and he stood up from his seat. He pulled out a gray mask that is the size of his face and put it on. "Let's go." He waved his hand at Alex and proceeded to walk out of his office. "I also didn't mean what I just said." He halted on his step before he reached the door and glanced at Alex who had a downcast expression on his face.
Alex's face lit up and a wide smile spread on his brims. He hurriedly ran after his Alpha.
