Aicah's POV
Simoun hasn't been back for three days since they left here, which is why Aubrey has been restless for a while.
"They haven't come back in days! They might have perished!" worriedly she said while acting fanatical.
"Girl, it's you! They can protect themselves. It used to take a month before they could come back, eh" Vera replied while doing the cucutics.
"You know Vera, you're not really concerned! You're really bad!" she said frowning.
"You're Aubrey, stop, stop feeling like you're Simoun's girlfriend, it's embarrassing" I teased her.
she immediately threw stones at me with the fan she was holding.
Fortunately, I was able to avoid it, damn this girl!
"It's up to you! I'll look for them Simoun! I'm the only one in a good mood here!" Its annoying language then sped away.
"Hey Aubrey! Where are you going?" I called to her but she was already gone.
"Let her go, she'll come back too" Vera said while drying her nails.
I just went out of the house to get some air but I felt again as if someone was looking at me.
I rolled my eyes and I was not mistaken, I saw a man leaning against a tree and eating a mango.
He seemed familiar to me, not so that he was also the man I saw outside our house.
I felt like I was doing what I was doing, I just stood there watching him eat.
When he noticed me staring he stopped eating.
"Your sister, she will bring a baby, you have to kill him because if she doesn't, he will kill you" he said coldly while looking at the mango he was holding.
I was a little amused by this joker! he looks rude but he's also funny.
"I'm leaving" it said goodbye to me.
"Wait! Who are you?" I stopped him.
"I'll introduce myself later when I confirm that you're really what I'm looking for" he replied and quickly walked away from me.
Maybe he's just like Simoun, he's not an ordinary person either.
I went inside because maybe someone else talked to me.
I sat on the sofa and waited for Aubrey to return. I want to see if she comes back with a baby.
I know that the man was just tripping but you know i don't know either if it's true.
Two hours later Aubrey came back, she was crying when she faced us so we were very worried.
"What happened?" Athena asked thoughtfully.
"Did someone hurt you?" I asked.
she just kept crying, I forced her to speak.
"I'll just call Vera!" Athena said goodbye to me and ran upstairs.
When she returned to us, she was with Vera.
"What's the matter with you" Vera asked annoyed while rubbing one of her eyes.
It looks like she just woke up.
"Aubrey doesn't want to talk" Athena replied worriedly.
she frowned and looked at us one by one.
"Why did you call me? Am I holding her tongue?" its sarcastic question.
My blood is a little hot. she is really heartless!
I want to tweak her until her scalp is removed.
"Can't you see? My sister is having a hard time! Can't we just work together to find out her problem?" I try to be calm, because first of all I have nothing against her.
she blinked and approached Aubrey.
"Hey! Speak up!" its lofty command.
Aubrey's cries grew louder, so we covered our ears.
"S-Simoun! I-I can't s-see him!" she said stuttering while still continuing to cry.
"Who told you to look for them?" Vera asked with a raised eyebrow.
she didn't speak and just cried.
Vera got up and was about to return to her room when Aubrey spoke again.
"Damn it!!" she cry. I immediately slapped her mouth lightly.
Bad swear! We're not of legal age yet! Daddy says we shouldn't swear! Unless we are mined.
Athena just touch her forehead.
Aubrey immediately hugged me and one of them pointed knives in front of us.
I know Vera did that, she's the only one who can do those things.
"Repeat what you said!" Its a threat.
Aubrey smiled hard before speaking.
"I said, I love you, I love you bff !!! I hope you don't die yet"
Athena let go of Vera because she was even more annoyed, fortunately she let go.
Days passed but they still did not return Simoun.
Aubrey also continues to look for them even though the truth is that she is just hanging out in the forest and waiting there patiently.
And what that man said to me! It's not true! Every day when Aubrey comes home, she doesn't have a baby with her, but that's also good because it just means we're safe.
I'm busy cooking now, because Athena left because she said she was going somewhere important, she didn't say where.
Aubrey left again for sure and went to the forest to wait for Simoun.
Only me and Vera were left in the house.
"Vera! Vera!" I called to her, but she did not answer.
I left the kitchen and went to the living room. she wasn't there so I went straight to her room but she wasn't here either.
Where did that one go? Aba !! Will you leave me alone at home!
I went out and went into the woods, maybe Aubrey and I would be together. Do I know if they are bonding right?
These past few days I’ve noticed that Aubrey and Vera are often together, they both seem to get along.
I've been wandering around the forest for a few hours but I still can't see them, I'm also tired and it's getting dark so I just went home.
As I walked I had a strong feeling that someone was watching me.
Ever since I lived with Simoun, I have always felt that someone was watching me.
Sometimes when I sweep outside, I just see a lot of birds circling around our house.
Sometimes there are those who approach many people trying to make friends, but it is Raphael who talks to them.
I got home and found Aubrey and Athena laughing.
"HAHAHA he looks like me HAHAH" Aubrey said while laughing.
"Hahahaha, yes" Athena replied. I just stood in front of the door.
I could not move my body. I felt heavy, every giggle of the baby seemed to be stabbing my heart.
Where did that boy come from? How did what the man said come true? My body was weakening, as if at any moment I would fall.
I came back to my senses as Athena approached me. It's good and you're here, let's have a new family member. It's fun for me, then I was pulled closer to Aubrey.
When I looked at the baby, he looked innocent and could not hurt anyone.
I saw him in the woods, crying, looking abandoned "said Aubrey while hugging the baby. Unfortunately for him, I will be the one to raise him more.
I was still looking at the baby seriously, I could feel if he was an ordinary child.
Aaahhh! I don't want to think badly, especially with this baby! But what if what the man said is true! What if one of us gets hurt because of this baby?
"Audrey, I named him Audrey, because after my name, Aubrey said happily.
I just nodded and climbed to the top. I was really weak, as if that boy was absorbing my strength.
"You alright?" I looked behind me when suddenly someone spoke, it was Athena. I didn't feel good about that child, I said directly.
His forehead furrowed, obviously startled. I told him what the man I talked to told me.
But instead of believing he got mad at me. He admonished me not to just believe or talk to people I did not know.
I would have explained more but she left in front of me.
After her sermon, the three of us ate, Vera came home late so Athena also preached to her.
Aubrey and Vera are still fighting, Vera doesn't want the baby to live here but Aubrey wants to take him in.
I just let them argue and went straight to the bedroom. Hay !! I really feel bad, when will Simoun go home?
