Middle in the night when she woke up on her own bed, the cold wind freely enters into her room from her opened balcony. She's still clueless how did she end up on her bed because the last thing she remembered is that she passed out in the and doesn't know what happened next.
"Crap." Rue uttered as she shuts her eyes. She gets anxious as she also remembered how curious her friend towards the guy with him all along. What if she asks a bunch of questions about her, she just don't trust him that much.
She then slowly gets up from her bed. Even her body is still weak, she managed to walk towards the door and head to the kitchen. She didn't bother to open the light when she reached the refrigerator. Then at once opens the door to get a blood bag. Its content stayed the same and unmoved since she left.
She almost moan in satisfaction as soon as the blood tasted in her tongue and lingers into her throat. She emptied the blood bag hungrily. Then gets another one to feed, her body is already fine but extra blood won't hurt as she thought.
"Hungry, huh?" She almost startled on her feet when she heard someone spoke as room filled with the light. He turned on the switch.
"What the hell?" She blurted with a glaring eyes at him. But he ignored her stares as he walks towards her direction.
When he reached her spot, he pulled a bottle of water from the refrigerator beside her.
She looks at her curiously. "What did Althea say?" Thinking how her friend might asked him a bunch of questions while she's sound asleep.
He effortlessly opened the bottle with his masculine hand. "Says about what?" He didn't bother to look at her as he drinks his water.
"Did she asks questions? Like about you and me? Or how did I met you?" She asked consecutively with impatient.
She saw the side of his lips formed a smirk that made her eyebrows ceased.
His eyes turned to her with a little playful smile on his lips. "Are you worried that she might found out our relationship?"
Her eyes narrowed. As much as she wants to show her rage, she tried to composed her thoughts. He's obviously teasing her, but he won't get the reaction he wanted.
"I'm worried you might have said false information since we're not really on that kind of relationship." Her eyes remained staring at him as she emphasized the word "kind". Then she emptied the remaining blood on the blood bag that she's holding.
The look on his eyes suddenly changed as he slammed the fridge shut. She can't tell if he's just strong or it's just her imagination that he meant it.
"Don't be too full of yourself, she didn't ask that kind of question." He said sarcastically with emphasis on his word, specifically on "kind".
She felt attacked as she can't help herself but to bite her inner lips as she stared at him furiously.
"Disappointed?" He seized. "I carried you by the way, though you're quite heavy. Maybe that will flatter you." His sleepy blank eyes didn't show any emotions while they're exchanging stares.
She can't believe that he grown up more arrogant than before.
"Quite heavy? Maybe your body is too weak." She bit back to burst his bubble.
She heard him chuckled that made her eyes twitched a little. And the next thing she knew, he's already close to her, she can feel her rigid body 2 inch away that it made her flesh anxious. She's not expecting an intimate closeness from him.
He's looking directly on her eyes as if he's looking deeply into her soul. "I can see that you already gained your strength" he paused "but you don't know what you're asking for." The grip of her firsthand on the blood bag tightens, and it seems that her mind suddenly went blank.
A satisfied smirk showed on his lips as he throws the bottle of water on the trash bin beside her.
"Have a rest then we'll talk tomorrow about our mission here." He showed as he moved away in front of her and left the kitchen.
As soon as he left the room, she suddenly exhaled and gasp for air. She didn't noticed that she was holding her breath until then.
"What's wrong with him." She mumbled to herself as she emptied the blood bag and throws it on the trash bin. She was about to leave and switch off the lights when someone suddenly appeared in front of her.
"God! I thought I've seen a ghost." She blurted, startled because of the unexpected guest at unexpected time.
"I thought were weak and lying in your bed?" Atreus asked bluntly with a suspicious look on his eyes.
"Unfortunately, I'm standing firmly in front of you." She responded with sarcasm on her voice.
He chuckled. "Chill. I came here as a concerned citizen and welcome back my friend." He defended with a small smile.
She stares at him suspiciously with a narrowed eyes. He just smiled at her widely. She suddenly thought of something, that he might be able to help them of their mission.
"Actually, I'll be needing your help" Her face become serious and walks towards the kitchen stool "let's have a sit first." His eyes follow her confusingly.
"Have a sit." She commanded.
He took the sit in front of her. "When you need something, try being kind to them as well." He said with a teasing smile as he shakes his head.
"Not my type." She swiftly replied as she crossed her arms and sit on a chair. "Anyway, we are on a mission, that's why I'm here." She at once announced looking at his eyes directly, to get his serious attention.
"We?" he asked "so it's true that you're with a guy?"
Rue creased her eyebrows with a questioning look.
He chuckled. "Althea didn't miss to say the news." He said with a playful smile and his eyebrows moving up and down.
"Oh, don't make it sound like that. It's not that there's something going on between us." She snorted in disapproval, her arms still on her chest.
A laugh was heard from Atreus. "Someone's being defensive." He couldn't help but to tease her with her response.
She glared at him with a sharp eyes, but he just ignored her stares and continued on laughing.
"But I'll be more shock if he would you." He blurted as he burst into laughter.
"You'll be more shock when I pulled that tongue of yours." She threatened, her voice visible of annoyance. But he just laughs more.
Rue just rolled her eyes at him as she shakes her head in disbelief. While looking at him as if he was out of his mind.
She placed her elbow on the table as rested her chin on her palm. "I know you enjoy your laughing but right now is not the right to have fun." She remarked.
His laugh fades as he gestured zipping his lips. But you can still see the mocking stare on his eyes.
"And who's having fun in the middle of the night?" Suddenly, Demtiri's voice was heard from the entrance of the kitchen.
Both of their eyes landed on the man leaning on the side of the door with his arms crossed on his broad chest. He has his sleepy eyes, but his eyebrows were furrowed as if he was disturbed by their noise.
