SACRED LOVE : 48 2/2
Eyes gazing at the small puppy in her hands, her hand rubbed down the soft furr while a calm smile spreaded upon her lips. Cia.eyes blinking as her feet felt the cold grass under, her body started to relax while the dozed off puppy snuggled closer. Sleeping in her warmth, the puppy left out a exhale through sniff and Cia's mind seemed to lost in the sunny sky that was filled with chirping birds and butterflies. A small blink, she watched the butterflies fly in the sky. Taking her notes, her eyes squinted as she looked around for a pen and when she realised that there was no pen, a sigh left her lips. Biting her lip in anticipation, she felt the puppy sneeze before looking up. A small laugh, she picked up the puppy before her nose bopped against the puppy's. "C-cute." The puppy tilt his head as she speaks before sighing in defeat. Looking up, building up the courage while staring at the small puppy in her hands, she exhaled deep before looking up again. "Cu-cute-" she shook her head.
No, cia f-focus-
Cia sighed as her thoughts were as stuttery as her words. Biting her lip, she looked up while taking a deep breath in. "Cut-" "Cia!" Her head turned around only to notice it was Mrs. Xin. Standing up on her own feet, Cia still held the puppy in her arms while Mrs. Xin walked closer. With a bright smile upon her face, She held the arms of Cia making her flinch slightly.making the smile upon the Mrs. Xin's face fade away before letting her arm go and a tug ok her hand before stepping an inch back made Cia bit her lip, embarassed of what just happened and a bow from Cia made Mrs. Xin sigh before nodding. "Follow me, Cia, You already have really short time left!" She exclaimed smiling making Cia blink, still bent down. "W…what?" The maid ran towards them before glancing at Cia who had wore the gown that reached below her knees. Hesitantly looking back at Mrs. Xin, she bowed. "Mrs. Xin, the kitchen upstairs is cleaned and it's ready." Mrs. Xin smiled before nodding. "Good job, Please inform the guards to follow the list for the Night party" As she continued to explain, the maid wrote down the points and bowed before leaving the place while Cia was dozed off in caressing the soft puppy that already fell asleep in her arms. Looking down at the puppy, she didn't hear Mr. Xin's impatient voice and when Mrs. Xin shook the shoulder of the youngirl, she jolted before sighing in relief. "S-sorry, M-M-" "It's fine" Mrs. Xin sighed in defeat as she impatient cut Cia off in between. Feeling herself hesitant, Cia followed Mrs. Xin when She spoke with a tired and cold tone. Following the woman in front, her eyes never left the puppy's before she looked up. Feeling the puppy waking up once again, it locked the eyes with hers making her smile even though the tense started to build up in her. Kitchen…her eyes eyes looked up as she was lead to upstairs and while stepping inside the kitchen, she could hear her loud heartbeat that sounded as if it was a beatbox which was done by breathless ozikoy. [ Hey Ozikoy XD]
Biting her lip, she looked around before stepping inside while a gulp took place in her drying up throat. Feeling her hands gripping puppy closer to her chest, she froze when the puppy was taken from her arms. "I'm sorry, Mrs.-" Maid gulped as she recalled what she just spelled before rephrasing it. "I-i mean, Ms. Li, the pets are prohibited from getting inside the kitchen." Mrs. Xin glared at the maid beofre looked away. "You can go, Sherell. We can take care." She spoke before working forward and Cia bowed hesitantly towards the maid as she smiled nevously, already leaving the place. Looking in front, her eyes blinked while her back shivered. The large halls lead more deep as Mrs. Xin glanced around at the large counters where the clean dishes were placed. Smiling to herself, she turned to Cia who seemed to be lost staring at the ceiling that dropped it's colourful reflection upon the floor she walks upon. Feeling her eyes squint as the colorful shininh rays of sun falls right upon them. "Cia" the resounding voice of Mrs. Xin made her look in front. "Cia, This is Ms. Cloite." Mrs. Xin said as the woman dressed in black stepped out. As the loudening wind brushed away the strands of hair from Cia's face, Ms. Cloite's eyes sheered into the soul of the young girl. "Cia" Mrs. Xin shook Cia's shoulder as she was lost in rubbing her eyes since the sudden dusty wind made her eyes clench. Looking up at the woman with hesitance, Cia's body felt the strange chills going down when her eyes dug into her within her hand extending. "Hello, It's nice meeting you…"She eyed the young girl and the gaze was cold enough to freeze her right there. "Cia..Li." She spoke and the tune she added at the end made Cia gulp while the sweat started to coat her neck. Even when the cold wind surrounding the halls had everyone wrap the scraf around their shoulders, wearing the thin dress just below her knees still, Cia started to sweat feeling the suffocation within every breath she took while the darkness engulfed her body as a whole. As she dragged her feet to follow them both, The eyes Ms. Cloite Glanced back at her few times and the gaze she held was preventing Cia to take any breath she will try to. It was as if she controlled Cia's self consciousness right away. A small grin made its way onto Mrs. Xin lips as she admired the pillars. Cia didn't dare to look up when the dark shadows of the wooden ceiling had already started to lead the way. Body trembling with every step she took behind them, Her feet tripped and that's when she knew her head is going to be smashed against the floor in few second but….the warm grip upon her waist might have surprised almost unconscious self of hers but yet it did prevented her from falling on her head. Breathy voice of his against her ear, her hand clutched his shirt while she felt her back peing pinned to one of giant pillars. Turning her head away, she felt the warm breath against her ear which was pacing rapidly. Panic self of hers led her hand to weakly push against his chest as she felt his hands still around her waist. "don't be scared, It's me." His breathy voice, the warmth from his hard chest had already started to relax her sweating body.
"Y-Yang.!?"
