Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 158 Movie Night

After a little while of taking fresh air, Adora got up and stretched off.

"Want to go back with the others? Maybe we can just sit back and relax while watching a movie, a movie night," Adora said and Cameron got up.

"Sure, that sounds nice," he replied and both of them went back to the living room and the others looked at them.

"Guys, why don't we make tonight a movie night?" Cameron said and they looked at each other.

"Sounds good," Alix said, "let's eat and watch movies."

"The king and queen are welcome to join us as well," Kyris said, and the queen smiled.

"No, you guys enjoy your night, you deserve the time off," the queen replied, "but remember to sleep too, you youngsters tend to forget that."

"Don't worry mom we will sleep," Zavis said and the king and queen smiled.

'Okay, you kids, take care and good night," the king said before leaving with the queen and Niya went to get snacks. They then turned on the television, turned off the lights in the living room, and chose an action movie that everyone could watch and enjoy.

While watching the movie, Adora went and sat near Alix, and he looked at her and then handed her a bag of chips.

"It's fine, eat, no one will watch you," he said as he placed his hand on her mask and she grabbed onto him.

"I am sorry but, I can't," she replied and he sighed.

"I thought you might say that at least relax and enjoy the movie," he said, and she smiled before placing her head against his shoulder, while he clenched his fists and looked at her.

'A little while longer and she'll be free around us, maybe we can have another movie night, I don't even know why the hell I'm being considerate around her,' Alix thought before taking the chip he gave her and started eating.

During the movie, Adora clenched onto Alix's arm tightly and when he looked at her, he saw she was sleeping.

'She is actually sleeping, I won't wake her, she hasn't been sleeping well these past few nights, and she talks to someone, I will ask all the questions later,' Alix thought, and Eliza glanced at him and saw Adora's head on his shoulder, then smiled.

"Do you want a milkshake, Alix?" Niya inquired.

"Yes, thanks Niya," he said as she handed him a bottle of milkshake, which he took, opened, and began drinking.

'No nightmares,' Adora thought when she opened her eyes and looked at Alix beside her.

"I am sorry, Alix," she muttered, and he smiled.

"It's fine, I won't complain because you have trouble sleeping," he said to which she sighed.

'I got no nightmares, maybe it's because everyone is here, they sure give a relaxing vibe,' Adora thought with a smile on her face.

"Can I have some milkshake?" Adora asked and Alix looked at her.

"I drank from this," he said.

"So?" she asked, taking it from his grasp.

"Just look away for a bit," she said and he turned away, then she pulled her mask up a bit and drank the milkshake, her mask covered half of her mask due to pulling it upwards so even if anyone looked at her they won't be able to see her face.

"Ah, that felt good," she said, passing him the bottle of milkshake and he collected it, then she wiped her lips and fixed her mask.

"Thank you," she said.

"You are welcome," he replied.

"Will you not drink it out? Is it due to the fact that I drank from it?" she asked quietly and he scoffed.

"Damn, I never said that, I will finish it in a minute," he responded to which she chuckled.

"It's nice torment you, but you don't have to if you don't want to," Adora said silently, and Alix sighed as she felt her breast brace against him.

'Is this some kind of torture?' Alix wondered, feeling at ease with all of them, knowing that he wanted them to stay a team, and understood that despite Adora getting on his nerves many times, he actually likes having her around and trusted her despite the secrets.

"Adora," someone called out, and her eyes widened and shook as she recognized her mother's voice.

'Great, keeping this to myself is having all kinds of effects, I keep hearing the way she screamed out my name back then, damn it, I hate this, I couldn't save her, maybe I am feeling more guilty than I thought,' Adora thought while clutching her head, and at the same time she felt someone held her hand and when she looked up she saw it was Alix.

"Are you all right?" he inquired.

"Yeah, it's after midnight, I think I will try to get some sleep," she said as she stood up, and he sighed as he looked at her then grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back to sit, which she did.

"If you leave now, the others will think something is wrong; I don't know what's really going on, but stay until the movie ends; maybe by then, you'll be so sleepy that you will actually be able to sleep," Alix muttered, and Adora sighed.

"You are correct, Alix," Adora said and he smiled a bit.

"You are welcome, I guess," he replied as she braced her head against him, then continued watching the movie with them because she knew she needed to sleep.

About half an hour later, the movie had come to an end and Adora got up.

"I am going to bed now, good night guys," Adora said as they all stood up and a few of them were yawning already.

"Good night, Adora," they replied, and Adora went to her room, shut the door, then threw herself on the bed and removed her mask.

"I am really sleepy tonight, I want to sleep," Adora said while opening the seal, the shadow formed beside her and she smiled.

"You should try to get some sleep now," good night," it said.

"Good night, flamy demon," she replied as she closed her eyes, and she was about to fall asleep when her stomach rumbled and she flung up from the bed.
