The room was plunged into darkness, with no signs of light.
"Creak...!"
A sound of wood creaking could be heard, due to the person rolling in the bed that was present in the room.
He lay on his stomach, sleeping very unprincely, even though he thought of himself as a prince. His black, silky hair was messy, and he was trying to cover his head with a cotton blanket, which he had made a lump of, as though trying to force the sleep in.
Yeah, that person was none other than yours truly, me.
Well, jokes aside, I was really having a hard time sleeping right now. Some moments prior, my eyes blinked open, and from that moment, I couldn't fall back to sleep anymore.
'Must be because I slept so much yesterday.' I thought, stretching up in the bed.
After which, I threw the blanket, still present on my head. Before leaving the bed and walking towards the window.
As I reached the window, my hands moved, fingers tightening around the curtain before moving it sideways.
It was still dark, but not the darkness of nighttime. It was dark, that just lingers before the morning, with the dimness of moonlight, making the surroundings look more beautiful.
'Maybe I should start exercising and shit,' I thought, as my fingers moved over my body.
'So I can improve my stamina, for my very, very hard work, that I am going to perform with my grandmothers and many more, in the near future.' I thought, with a creepy smile etched on my face.
But a sudden thought crept into my mind, as my smile disappeared.
'This is my second day in this world, and I am adjusting very perfectly, so perfectly, that's it's-'
"Unsettling." My lips parted as the word rolled through my tongue, slipping past my mouth, making my heart rate spike, as the realization dawned upon.
...
Eden moved away from the window, pushing away those heavy thoughts, his goal, the garden of the house, as his heavy steps became lighter with every step he took.
Eden emerged from the stairways, moving towards the room in front of the bathroom.
"Click...!"
The ceiling shone dimly, lighting up the room decorated with comfortable sofas and bookshelves, but there was something unique about the room. And that was its back wall, which was made of see-through glass and had sliding doors made up of glass.
The room's back area overlooked a beautiful garden. The garden itself looked very beautiful, with flower beds decorating it. It had a small clearing in the middle, under the shade of a large tree, suitable for a picnic setting or, in Eden's case, doing some training.
At the root of the tree were 4 wooden benches, installed sideways.
The whole house was surrounded by a wooden fence, around 10ft long, so the garden also ended with fencing.
But instead of looking at this beautiful scene, under the faint moonlight and dawn's shadow, Eden's eyes were locked onto something, or more preferably, someone else.
A girl with lustrous black hair, tied in bun, with few loose strands, a beautiful face, that can only be called divine, was standing there, looking at him, wearing black sports bra and black leggings, showing her toned stomach, big boobs and ass, that were pushing against her cloth, just shy away in the size, from his mother.
'She is really very beautiful,' Eden thought, his eyes lingering on her body, which looked ethereal under the dim moonlight.
The girl's cherry red lips parted as she spoke with an emotionless face, "Do you need something?"
...
AURELIA'S POV
Aurelia was doing her morning stretches when she suddenly sensed someone nearing the room.
Her gaze moved towards the door, as the door opened with a slight, "Click...!", and a figure stepped in.
'What is he doing here?' She thought as her lips parted to ask the question.
...
'I can't tell if she likes me or hates me, sometimes,' Eden thought, his brows knitting slightly.
Before he moved towards the garden.
"Good morning, sis," Eden greeted her, trying not to sound awkward.
"Good morning," She replied with an emotionless face, still looking at him, expecting an answer to her previous question.
'Well, it's good for me that she is here, it will only help me improve our previous relationship,' Eden thought, before replying.
"I wanted to do some training, as you know, the Awakening Ceremony is getting close."
Listening to Eden's words, Aurelia's eyes flickered and her lips twitched slightly, as a few seconds of silence lingered between them, before she spoke, her face still emotionless as ever, but her voice carrying a touch of softness, "Shouldn't you rest? You just woke up yesterday."
"Don't worry about that," Eden assured her, "I already drank a potion with the herbal bath. So my body is back to its normal condition."
"Okay," Aurelia replied, with a bit of reluctance, but before she could say anything else.
"Can you help me with the training?" Eden asked, surprising her.
But she didn't let the surprise appear on her face, as she replied immediately, with a light smile, "Okay".
She was not going to let this opportunity to get close to her brother slip.
...
Morning light shone, erasing the darkness and highlighting two figures: a beautiful girl doing push-ups, and a dead boy just some ft away from her.
The fuck you mean? I am still alive.
Yeah, yeah, what about your pride?
-_-
...
I lay on the grass, with my face sideways on the ground, breathing like my life depended on it.
"Ha...ha..."
As I gazed at the monster near me, it was still doing push-ups, without a hint of exhaustion.
We both have been training, until the morning approached, well, she trained, I was just resting, most of the time. And she was still not exhausted, not even a tiny bit.
'Awakening really makes you powerful.' I thought, looking at her beautiful figure, as my breathing started to get even.
"Okay, you two, now get up." A soft voice echoed suddenly, bringing me out of my stupor.
As my eyes gazed towards the direction of the voice, I found my mom approaching us with a slight smile.
"What happened to you?" She asked teasingly.
"Don't ask," I grumbled, as I stood up.
'There's no way she didn't know I was here.'
"Okay, Okay." My mom said, as her smile grew wider.
"Now go and freshen up," She added, kissing my cheeks.
"Chu...!"
Before moving towards Aurelia, who has also stood up, she also kissed her on her cheeks, before she spoke, "I have put your clothes on the chair. Go take a bath, and then join me for breakfast.
"Eden, you too, after freshening up, go take a bath. Your clothes are on the chair as well."
Listening to mom, we both hummed in response as we moved.
