章節 10: AIO 7 • THE BOX

ALEXANDRIA

23 year old Alex,

16 years after the death of Caolan

-------------------------------✒--------------------------------------

I watched as Akila ran around the new building I purchased. I choosed to settle for a duplex to avoid anything too flashy.

I decided to walk around the already furnished four bedroom duplex studying the already hung paintings.

I deeply miss my old 'pigsty' but I am willing to cogitate on living here for the sake of Akila.

Mrs Whiskers made it known to me that she would show up tomorrow. I couldn't help but feel serene about the bonding of Mrs Whiskers, Akila and as much as I'll hate to admit, Cotton.

" Wow!"

I heard Akila holler from somewhere around.

I traced the sound to the room I requested to be designed for her.

Once she noticed my presence, she did something I didn't expect - She ran up to me and gave me a hug.

I haven't had one of those in like seventeen years so I didn't know what to do. I awkwardly patted her back before she ran up to her bed.

" Thank you so much! I love you!"

Okay. I was not expecting that also.

I stood there speechless and gaping before clearing my throat and exiting the room to have a view of mine.

I specifically requested a rose flowered wallpaper with a dark themed background.

My lips twitched when I finally found it. I studied the whole room. It had a medium walk-in closet.

An ensuite bathroom and most importantly, no sight of a fan or Air Condtioner.

My clothes which consisted of T-shirts, trousers, leather coats, gloves and boots of white,black or blue colours only, were already stacked in the closet.

" I love your room "

Someone commented from behind me and I turned around to see Mrs Whiskers holding Cotton.

I mentally cringed at the presence of the cat.

" I didn't know you'd arrive today Mrs Whiskers "

I voiced with a smile.

" I would have died of anxiousness waiting to see the house "

" Cotton!"

Akila exclaimed running into the room.

" Nice to know someone noticed me "

Mrs Whiskers said, her voice laced with sarcasm directed at Akila.

" Hello Mrs Whiskers "

She greeted, her cheeks tinted with a light pink colour.

" Can I hold him?"

She asked already stretching her arms out for the creature.

" Ofcourse. By the way, I brought some lasagna for dinner"

She handed her the cat before walking out of the room, us trailing behind her.

As I followed behind them, a thought hit me.

" The box "

I whispered to myself before heading back to the room to check whether they transferred 'the box' the this house.

I always keep it in my old cloth box and I haven't taken it out in a long while.

I searched through the closet and couldn't find it.

" Aren't you coming down for dinner?!"

Mrs Whiskers hollered from the kitchen.

" I'll be there in a minute "

I muttered knowing fully well that they can't catch on to what I said.

" Are you alright?"

Mrs Whiskers said from behind me causing me to turn to face her.

I grabbed one of my long hoods and a pair of black leather gloves, putting them on.

" I need to go somewhere. I hope you can stay for the night, someone needs to watch after Akila. I'll be back soon"

The box was not in any of the drawers in the closet meaning I'd have to go check my old ponderous residence.

" I'll see you later! "

" How do you get it out?"

Alex tilted her head, her full focus on the floating ball-like experiment.

" You use this "

I said bringing out the extractor I invented.

" It's like a cap with a glass ball like that of a bubblegum machine, on the top of it where the experiment is being grappled after it leaves the brain"

Alex hummed in understanding as I returned the machine back into another safe.

I know that since I have gifted the book to Alex, even if someone manages to break in here, They will not be able to take the extractor for the experiment.

I and Alex have been spending most of our days together in this hideout ever since I resigned.

I have been explaining to her, how it all works and I don't need any other confirmation that she understands because she does.

" Someone wants your experiment, don't they?"

I gulped before shoving my hands into my pocket nervously.

" Come "

I confusingly followed her towards some spare chairs and sat down after her.

" What is the code for the extractor's safe?"

" Oh, yeah I forgot about that. It's the combination of you, your mother and I's birth dates; 301627"

It was all about arranging the codes properly.

Andrea's comes first : 30th of April

Then mine: 16th of July

Then Alexs': 27th of February

I noticed Alex was signalling me to lower my head, I hesitantly did so and I was surprised when she patted my head like I was a dog getting rewarded for fetching a stick.

" Smart Papa "

"I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up."

" Hold on!"

I hollered remembering thɑt I needed to turn off the fɑn.

" Why?"

She quirked ɑ brow.

" You know thɑt the experiment wɑsn't supposed to ignite. Meɑning it contɑins enough bleɑk in it. Any form of contɑct with ɑ cold environment once thɑt thing is in you could hurt you or possibly kill you, depending on the degree"

I explɑined ɑs the fɑn finɑlly cɑme to ɑ stop.

"Be cɑreful Vixen"

I whispered before using my shɑky hɑnds to open the box from behind.


章節 11: AIO 8 • THE PILLS

ALEXANDRIA

-------------------------------✒--------------------------------------

" Goodjob Child, we'll continue this later "

I informed Akila before she ran towards her toys.

I must say, the child actually surprised me, the way she pronounced the Irish words, wrote them down and formed minor sentences on her own.

She is indeed; a fast learner.

" Hey Alex?"

She called out and I hummed for her to proceed.

" How were you like as a kid? Did you play with all these dollies?"

With a sigh, I answered her question.

" No "

" Did you play with male toys"

She teased.

" No "

" Did you play dress up? Tea parties?"

" No "

" Did you play outsi-"

" How do you know about all these games Akila?"

I asked quirking my brow.

" Well..Mrs Whiskers told me about them and we played them together before she left "

" Hmm.."

" So what did you play? You can teach me some of your childhood games "

She grinned walking towards me, whilst I pursed my lips thinking of any kids game I might have come across as a child.

Which was quite hard, considering I only played Scrabble, Monopoly, Pool and oh..chess.

My childhood favourite, I haven't played chess in years.

" Well, I didn't play any of those games you mentioned but, I used to play Chess, Monopoly, Pool and Scrabble as a child"

" Those are all huge names"

She scrunched her face.

" Well, you're a big girl for a four year old. Which reminds me, you'll have to start schooling soon "

" I'll attend school?!"

She exclaimed while I nodded.

" Thank you!"

No hugs, no hugs no hugs, no--

She hugged my torso, squeezing the life out of me.

Oh! Mrs Whiskers, what are you teaching this kid.

" You're supposed to hug me back, silly"

Considering that it would be hurtful if I didn't, I patted her back awkwardly and stiffly.

She pulled away and palmed her forehead.

" You don't get much hugs do you?"

She asked and I forced a smile.

" Well, that's gonna change because I'll share much hugs with you, Mrs Whiskers, teddy and..Cotton "

Oh gross, the weird creature.

" Oh yeah! yeah! yeah! I wanted to ask you a question and then I forgot because Mrs Whiskers' meal was delicious and I even dropped my fork while eating and she was like 'don't even think of using that fork again young lady' and I had to change the fork be-"

" Breathe.."

I trailed covering her mouth as she ranted.

" Anyways, where were you last night. You didn't have dinner with I and Mrs Whiskers "

She pouted, folding her arms.

" I had to go retrieve something from my old residence "

I explained to her.

" And yeah! I think you forgot to put these in your drawer. Are you feeling okay?"

She asked handing me my bottle of..sleeping pills.

" I hope you didn't ta-"

" No silly, ofcourse I didn't. I only kept it for you. Are you having a fever? Why do you need these tablets?"

" They are sleeping pills "

I explained taking it from her.

" They make people sleep?"

She asked and I nodded.

" No silly, you sleep like this. Watch"

She climbed onto her bed and rested her head on the pillow.

" See "

My lips twitched upwards. She thinks I don't know that?

" Oh? Really, I never knew "

I lied.

" I know you do. Everyone knows how to sleep. So what do you need them for?"

She scrunched her face.

" I am..Insomniac "

I shrugged.

" What is that? Is it a Disney princess? Are you a Disney princess? Do you have a pretty dress? Oh my goodness! Fairy godmothers are real! Am I a Disney princess? Do I have a fairy godmother? Where is your prince char-"

I covered her mouth once again and she blushed realising that she was just ranting.

" It's far from that Child. It's means that I have a usually abnormal

inability to get enough sleep "

" Oh? I'm sorry. Maybe I can sing you a lullaby. I know you're not a kid but it helps sometimes. Everyone one needs someone to sing them a lullaby and it's really fun I promise. Maybe I could also ask Mrs Whiskers to bring a pacifier for you "

" What?"
