Aries rushed to the porch, smiling brightly because what she expected was his presence. However, while answering Leo, where did he go with his gray wolf. Falling in excitement disappointed Aries, along with sad eyes she sighed then glanced at the white tiger lying still on the sleeping grass.
-"White tiger friend, can you tell me where Taurus went"
The blue eyes like cat's eyes at that time suddenly opened, the white tiger raised his head to look at Aries in an expected state, the smile on her lips stretched gradually after every second. He kept looking at her without moving. As a very impatient person, just having to wait or do something without success, Aries will become irritable and put it aside. But for him it is the exception.
-"Come on, where is he, tell me"
The feet began to approach the arms full of soft white fluff. Croooped to look at the tiger with longing to the bottom of his eyes. At this time, the white tiger roared a small sound, slightly lowered its head and then shook to the sides. It seems that he doesn't know where his friend is either. Although it is not possible to communicate in the same language, Aries can also understand what to pay too much attention to actions. But will you tell the truth? It's been many times. The tiger lied.
Aries narrowed his delicate eyebrows, his lifeless eyes looking at him waiting. But waiting forever, it still just looked at her and shook its head. Hands on tired knees stood up straight, the clear pupils turned down as if an unusual emotion flashed at the white tiger that was beginning to fall asleep. Breathe for a while, don't say anything, but directly leave. She must have found him herself and food for him today.
***
The kettle is exhausted, it emits a faint smell of praise in the air flying in the wind, so it rushes straight into the nasal cavity. Leo stood poor and realized that his job had abandoned. She hurriedly walked over to extinguish the still burning fire. Dimly, patches of white smoke began to penetrate all over the house, haunting all objects and her body. If this situation keeps standing here to smell the gas, she will choke her breath and stop breathing. After frantically for a while, Leo rushed out with suffocating smoke and dissolved in the air. Taking a breath to fill her lungs, she gasped behind her eyes into the house to look. The poisonous smoke has not yet disappeared, it creates a space inside like fog covering the natural scenery in the early morning.
Squinting helplessly, Leo sighed in a long voice hoping that he would not pose any serious risks. This is probably not the first time, recently Leo has often neglected and distracted from work, also because of those secrets, but in the end a small knot fell down to open her a space enough to comfort her spirit. However, even though I know everything, the feeling of insecurity still doesn't go away much, why is that. What will she face again? Only God knows.
The small roar whispering in the headphones is familiar. Slowly turning his head, Leo caught the white tiger standing right next to him, his quartz-like blue eyes lowered to look at her, his soft ivory fur floating like a fleece. Leo looked at him inexplicably, in response to that look was a turn of his head and looked at the distant forest. Follow your own vision towards the wilderness and melancholy. The white tiger suddenly collapsed as if lying down, his head slightly lowered and glanced at her as if trying to tell her to climb up. Leo was surprised, his hand on the thick white fur gently stroked in the direction.
-"Want me to sit up"
As if understanding each other's voices, the tiger quickly nodded and urged her with a few small actions such as stomping his feet, waving his tail hard to the ground. It's not that Leo doesn't want to go up, just a little surprised by that gentle behavior. Because, normally he wouldn't approach Leo so she could caress him like a gray wolf. Is it intentional? - Leo thought to himself - Through the hasty way of seeing and acting, I'm afraid that the white tiger approaching her is really purposeful. But what is that? Following the white tiger, Leo reluctantly pushed himself to climb on the smooth back "yen", Leo struggled before he could turn around, the tiger turned around and rushed away. She cropped an imbalance and fell to the ground, but fortunately her agile hand gripped the long silk threads as a fulcrum, making her able to adjust her sitting posture to the safest way.
Fast, so fast.
The strong, violent winds encroached like slapping on people. Leo narrows his eyes to protect his vision from being attacked by incoming unknown dust particles. Part of her could not have imagined that the speed of the white tiger could be so fast. He did not stop or slow down when he encountered obstacles, on the contrary, multiplied. Overwhelmed Leo can only sit quietly waiting for where he will take her.
Gliding through each row of massive trees, these stumps seem to be a bit innovative, bigger, denser and darker, different from usual. She went far, very, very far from the chalet. Can't know where I'm going and how I'm coming back.
Fear.
The kind of emotion that was fleeting enough to overwhelm her breathing. Wherever she went, she had moved away from her own realm, was the purpose of the white tiger good? After many tossing and turning thoughts, she concluded that she still did not firmly believe in them.
In front of the road, a rare patch of light began to shine through the rough trunks that led the obscured view. Leo stared at that light, not daring to leave his eyes around to probe. Just a few short seconds, the scene in front of me was clearly visible.
A vacant lot.
Unlike the usual murky forest, this place seems to have its own privilege. It is much brighter and more romantic, no longer stained by wilted stumps, with no obstacles to prevent it from appear vividly, full of brilliance. Leo looked up at the light called the sun, next to which there were white clouds with different shapes floating in the sky without stopping, the birds also lined up in flocks flying everywhere, singing freely, why was she surprised when she encountered this peaceful scene. Dazzling and warm, after weeks she did not look but suddenly forgot its presence in life. The white tiger walked slowly towards the center and stopped him. She didn't wonder if anything had jumped off the tiger's back. Something attractive made her dumbfounded, her feet touching the soft green grass dancing - in the breeze -.
Observing once, the land is quite large in a circle, the addition point is only green of plants. Strangely, this land does not have a tree stump like the adjacent lands as if there is a boundary that has divided both sides. She didn't care anymore, nor did she know when the tiger had disappeared from sight. Until she realized it, there was only her left on this land. Unable to react to the next state, she seemed to miss a step and staggered and couldn't stand. Panicked, from the moment at the foot of a hole suddenly appeared, it sucked her whole, who didn't have a fulcrum and fell into that hole. A deep abyss, she still couldn't guess. Leo looked at the gradually shrinking sky, wanting to hold on as if she wanted to say goodbye to it for the last time, unfortunately she didn't want to close her eyes to hide something simple and peaceful, she just wanted to enjoy. It seemed that I would hit a strong blow on the ground or rock, but when I landed on it, it was very gentle.
It's weird.
Bup.
-"It's safe"
The familiar voice sounded right in the ear. Leo was startled and turned his eyes to the side that emitting voice and caught the silhouette, who had disappeared from sight while she was talking to Aries. As soon as she landed on Taurus as a craft here to wait for her to fall. He held her in his arms, catching her very accurately and gently, she was now like a princess being carried. Dumbfounded and attentive, at this distance Leo can see his face clearly. Sadly, that face is still lifeless and has no emotion at all.
Leo quickly left Taurus' arms. She landed on the cold ground, not forgetting to brush off some sand singing on her outerwear. Glancing around like a probe, the image in front successfully surprised her.
-"A small house... Under the ground"
Tables and chairs, furniture, all as encapsulated as the house she lives in, the only difference is that it is very large and many rooms are covered with curtains. Leo stood silently watching everything with a confused expression. On the white tiger side, he had been here since when right next to him, there was a gray wolf sleeping soundly. Leo would love to hear an explanation from him, right now. A drop of sweat suddenly rolled down her cheeks, she frowned and decisively turned her head towards Taurus who was still standing motionless. Like a robot that has run out of energy, from the moment he caught her, his hands still don't move sadly, it seems to have petrified into a living statue.
-"What happened... Why?"
He refused to answer, his arms at that time relaxed. Looking at her for a moment, she coldly left towards the wooden mechanism that had been built next to the table. Feel the trembling on the back of the neck, the chill when facing that look. He calmly poured a cup of cold tea, looking at her as if he wanted her to quickly sit next to her. Leo doesn't need to care anymore, she is very focused on trying to assemble all the distorted questions that still have no answer. Suddenly, the image of the green land along with the clear sky was recreated, Leo was impoverished, naturally remembered that time. She was soaking in the calm weather and so she fell into this hole. The hole?, the ground?
Ground, ground, ground, ground, surface...
The deep blue pupils bloomed, Leo turned his gaze to where he had just fallen. It seemed that only the skylight shone grumpy sunlight on this cold, gloomy place. But no, she couldn't believe what she saw in front of her eyes, her feet unconsciously twitching backwards. Unexpectedly, the hole just now miraculously disappeared, like an illusion or no hole was dug at all. Completely sealed without an opening. Is it all just imagination, but she is still awake, still normal and aware that she is not dreaming, but how? How can you be here?
-"As a kind of ability of mine, you probably won't know about it"
Taurus just needs to look at Leo's expression and implicitly guess what she is thinking, he sighs and doesn't bother to pay attention to explaining the strange phenomenon mentioned above that she has seen. He stood up, decided to turn around and leave the private room "under the ground", thinking that it was convenient to enter the room, when suddenly Leo asked as if he wanted to jerk him back to the same place.
-"What is capacity...?"
Taurus stood still after that naive question, his speculative face was probably trying to find the most reasonable answer so that she could more easily understand something beyond what could reach. Taurus pursed his lips, his body remained the same just to reveal his face from Leo's point of view.
-"You don't really know?"
Leo shook his head slightly, then looked at him puzzledly. At first it sounded a little familiar, as she had been told, but the narrator told her that it never actually existed and it was only in human imagination. In fact, it is like that and Leo believes absolutely in it. Because that's very vain if not an illusion. However, in Taurus's mind, she still has something more special than ordinary people.
-"I was told by him... But... it doesn't seem to be real"
Half believe half don't want to believe, have she ever witnessed that supernatural thing in her life even though now everything he says is partly she can't hear, but if it's a lie. That's right, Leo only believes that absurd when he sees it with his own eyes.
-"Although I don't know how to explain it to you. It sounds ridiculous, but she... Leo, you've seen it already, zombie"
He emphasized each of his last sentences so that Leo could recognize, his gray-green eyes turned and turned all to her. Leo tilted his head, his forehead gradually showing wrinkles. Really surprised, he said she had seen it, but when, she didn't remember coming across it. Never?
-"What's wrong... why don't I know nh-"
-"Aries"
Interrupting her question, his cold eyes quickly glanced at the sleeping white tiger next to the gray wolf, step by step without stopping, but moving towards him lightly stroking to hide the slight tremor in his body.
-"Curse and immortality are all a form of her ability, Leo you don't find strange. When the world still has something so incredible"
No need to explain many words, at this time Leo hurriedly remembered that moment, as if she had forgotten everything after witnessing the past incident. Unbelievable, but the evidence was clear in front of her eyes, why did she hesitate.
-"She also experienced the ability of the white tiger just now, in terms of speed"
His head slightly bent, Leo fixed his eyes and looked at the ground, his lips slightly moved as if he wanted to say something, but that's it. Yes, this is no joke. Although tigers run very fast, it is not surprising, but with white tigers, the speed is much further and there is no running limit. So that's the ability she always thought wasn't real, she was so dark.
-"So your ability..."
-"As you can see, I can penetrate the ground to go down here"
Taurus said his hand and touched the ground at the same time. A small opening quickly appeared, he just put his hand in that hole.
-"I can even create it with my thoughts without touching it like when you fall down"
Leo watched attentively and pondered. The tips of the fingers gently touch and caress and rub the chin. If, according to him, there is a possibility that she is also capable. But what is that ability? Why can't she feel that thing running in her body, even though she wonders, this is the first time she knows about it, so maybe it will be quite surprising for new people to meet.
-"What are you thinking? Is it "I must also be holding some other special kind of ability, but why can't I feel it running in my body". Am I right. But I'm sorry to have to tell you that ordinary people won't have any kind of ability"
-"Why?"
-"Because they are not of royal blood, or a special bloodline that allows the ability to penetrate. I say that, do you understand the problem"
-"..."
Ending in silence, the two said nothing more. Leo stands like the sky looking towards the roof. Taurus lowered his head slightly, put his hand on his knees, then stood up straight. Directly, the eyes no longer glance diagonally, but face the girl in front of them.
-"How old are you this year?"
The thinking Lion must also urge himself to return to the conversation. She did not margin but quickly replied in bewilderment.
-"I... fourteen years old"
-"The age of the outburst will take place between twelve and thirteen years old, you are too old"
Responding quickly, Taurus stepped towards Leo step by step, she still stood still looking as if waiting for him to come.
-"That means..."
-"There is only one case that explains this case"
Quickly answer the questions in your head. Taurus slowly raised an index finger across his face. He looked very serious right now, Leo didn't understand. She wondered if Taurus was too enthusiastic about her business.
-"So, what is that case...?"
-"Do you want to hear it"
-"Yes, that's right"
Collecting his index finger to his palm, Taurus was a little brainstorming when he had to say this issue directly to Leo. But seeing that she was really wanting to be answered, he didn't want to hide it for a long time, so he had to say what he was thinking in his mind.
-"You are incompetent"
-"So..."
-"So you're just a normal person"
-"..."
The retina stretched out a little, Leo didn't know what to say for a while. Why did she feel so confused. She didn't know if it was really good, but through his brother's expression she couldn't help but worry. She is really normal, normal to trivial.
Reading the taste easily, Taurus's eyes sag slightly. Why does looking at her expression now give him guilt, asking the opposite, he knows that he doesn't even understand. Perhaps he had spent all his time on unnecessary work, the first thing he thought about was the need to extinguish that quiet atmosphere.
-"I forgot to say this, we'll be here for two days temporarily"
-"Why... Why are we here for two days?"
As all thoughts disappeared at once, Leo with wonder quickly rolled his eyes towards Taurus. Unable to hide his curiosity, he immediately asked a question before he finished speaking.
-"We'll hide from Aries for a while, wait for her to leave and we'll be back"
Taurus sighed softly, he was really tired today. This always happens, just because I don't know when it will come to avoid it. All of them cannot be arranged, he is neither a god nor a god, just a mediocre person. Faced with the best bondage, just run away. Regret it? He mourned his fate. He could have died, but everything was too late. It was like a dream, he was in an uncontrollable coma. Isn't it true, aren't you very afraid of death? The past used to be the right answer, but now it's completely wrong, I wish I would die, die right now. Maybe? But should you do that. Impossible, he wanted to complete that task, an important task given by that girl. Why, his only motivation will only be in the short term. Because that's right, that girl died hundreds of years ago, why do you still miss her?
Inwardly constantly torn, Taurus still does not reveal any external feelings. Why do you feel so tasteless, from that moment on, he has neither smiled nor cried, living like that for hundreds of years is not too bad because he is so used to it. Taurus took a step in front of the curtains next to him, his head slightly turned around to easily see Leo, without hesitation but pushing the curtain in to ignore Leo standing like a scarecrow alone bewildered. One thing raises questions.
Why did he let her with him?
