"Be careful on your way," Michelle called out.
The five siblings have decided to go horse back riding around the ranch. Since it has been a while Heather invited her brothers for a ride.
This was their past time when they were kids every single time they were coming here for a vacation. And since there was a guard at the entrance about ten minutes car drive away from here, no one was able to disturb them.
They rode through the plantation with the wind accompanying them.
Alexander and Hunter have a black steed, Dexter and Aldger have dark brown ones while Heather obviously had a white one.
She wanted black but her brothers insisted that she has white because that is for princesses.
'Seriously my brothers truly dote on me too much,' she thought helplessly but was still grateful.
"I am amazed that you still remember how to ride," Dexter complimented.
"Well, I really didn't stop that long, I was riding back in the village I was at," she replied after they got in an open space where grass was lush.
It was a space intended for resting after a long horseback riding.
Both for people and the horses.
A small artificial lake was also built, in order for the horses to have some water to drink.
"Where was that village anyway?" Aldger asked, since they respected her decision, they didn't look into the place she went to.
"It was a village up in the mountains, it was a bit secluded but well there are schools beneath the mountain so studies weren't hindered there. I found it when I was flying," she answered.
Horseback riding was her hobby whenever they are in vacation but she has a more frequent hobby she does every single time she wants to think.
Helicopter flying.
She was actually one of the youngest approved pilots of a helicopter in the country, a known fact back when she was just twelve. Though due to the fact that she was disowned at thirteen, people started forgetting about her accomplishments and instead focused on discriminating her.
"How long have you stopped flying?"
Heather thought back, during this time it should be the time she returned in the city since she was still flying on their stay in the village.
"About three years," she answered but if she were to really count it would already be more than ten years.
'Aa~ah I really missed flying,' she thought.
She was too focused on the things around the city that she was unable to do her hobby.
"I guess I'll go and fly once things have settled again," she muttered.
"How about your helicopter?" Alexander asked since she didn't return it to the helipad designated for it.
"I left it in the village, I'll just get it when the time comes."
The village was small but near it was an open space where a helicopter could land and leave. It was still part of the village that she was allowed to leave it there. Precautions were taken and it was enclosed with walls in order not to endanger the children of the village.
"Oh that's right, I found you teachers," Alexander remembered.
"Have you?" her eyes instantly twinkled.
"There are four of them, on different fields of biology. But are you sure about the years you have studied it?"
"Yes, it has been five years of self study," she replied without batting an eyelid.
It was the truth, though she just started on this timeline, she had been self studying everything back in the first life.
She had read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos, she even entered a few classes when no one was paying attention to her so her knowledge is already comparable to someone who was already studying in the field for three years.
But because there is no such record here, she needs to make one. Plus, she would learn more with other teachers so it is fine, she still has time after all.
She has nothing more to do because the plans were already laid down with Adam and the rest, all she had to do was to wait as to how they will make things unfold. Then there was the investment of her grandfather.
"But because of that, they wanted to test you as well, so you have to be prepared. It may be an online class but you are to leave your camera and mic open while you answer all the questions," Alexander explained.
"That is fine by me," she replied.
She wasn't hiding the fact that she was studying things on biological field, so them knowing who she was and what she was doing was not a problem to her at all.
Seeing as she was confident in her reply, Alexander no longer worried whether she will be fine or not.
Since the professors he found were actually professors of different countries that are well known within the field of Biology.
They have their own pride when it comes to taking in students and they only accepted the request because it was him, Alexander Relish, who asked for the favor.
Alexander was a renowned doctor but he also tried his hands on different science fields from time to time and he was capable enough to gain respect from the people around him.
That is why they had accepted but they have some conditions that if she were to score less than three fourths of the total, they won't teach her.
He was worried that Heather, who suddenly wanted to learn, would actually be unable to do it since she may have just started on her own and the depth of her knowledge may not be on par to what they want.
Heather lay down on the grass as she took deep breaths of the fresh air surrounding them.
"This is life," she happily said.
Being in the nature was the best relaxation she could ever have.
The reason why she stayed in the village, because it was within the nature, surrounded by it.
The brothers looked at one another before lying down beside her.
Thinking back, the last time they did this was when Heather was just eight, Alexander was thirteen.
It has been fifteen years but the calming feeling never changed.
"Someday, I hope we can come back here with our own partners," she commented.
Her dream, to be precise the things that happened on her first life after her death was still clear in her mind.
How the rest of them didn't get the chance to find that special someone because they were so focused on their revenge for her.
They lead a lonely painful life that she didn't want them to have during this time.
"Says the one who was the only married one within us siblings," Dexter rolled his eyes.
Heather laughed.
"Are you implying that you'll bring him here someday? Seeing as you have no plans on leaving him?" Aldger followed.
"Who knows," she smiled.
"Just that I do wish we all will come back with our own happiness."
Alexander and Hunter shook their heads.
After a while, they rode back to the mansion where dinner was waiting for them.
Tomorrow, they will all return to the city and Heather will have no idea when she would be able to return here again.
"We know you want do things on your own but remember that we are here. Though we have already stepped away, we will return as long as you need us," Michelle tearfully said after their dinner.
Heather smiled, "Thank you mom… dad… grandpa… grandma… my dear brothers… I know you all are always there to help me."
'You spent all your time just so you could avenge me, how can I not know the extent of your love for me?' she added in her mind.
On this night, for the first time, they all decided to have a drink and enjoy the night away with the night sky to accompany them. They were surrounding a bonfire and were happily chatting.
A merry time for a family bonding they had after fifteen long years.
"It is time to leave," Alexander called.
It was still a bit early and the drive back will let them arrive in the city before lunch time.
Of course, all of their schedules were already fixed so that no problem will arise.
"Take care all of you and call or message us once in a while. Also visit as much as you can," Michelle and Trina hugged each of them.
"Will surely do."
As the van drove away, the two pairs watched it disappear from their sight.
"They have truly grown," Trina sighed.
"To think there'd come a time where they will have decisions of their own and battles, they will face. We surely knew it will come but it felt like it came too fast," Michelle followed.
The two ladies were the emotional ones at this moment.
To be able to reunite but it was too short.
Still knowing that everyone is fine now and leading a life they deem lives they will find their own happiness, their parents and grandparents have nothing more to say.
