Chapter 3 - Three : Settling Down

Chapter 3 - Three : Settling Down

Lia had a feeling moving to Little Town was a bad idea, but she never thought it was this bad.

Barely accepting the fact that she almost lost her life moments ago, she now had to come to terms that she's about to live in a town where wolves are constant strollers on the road.

Thankfully they happened to come across a drug store so their mom had to go get some pain relievers and food to go along.

Feeling stuffed inside, she walked out of the car, the cold air hitting her skin making her shiver. The air was moist and cold but she liked it, it made her sober, she just had a lot going on in her head right now.

"I know that look on your face " A voice said from behind but she didn't need a prophet to tell her who it belonged to.

"Thank God you know " She retorted , running her hands through her now slightly damp hair.

"I know, but you know I have no choice. The bungalow is your father's property "

Lia scoffed at her mom's comment "Atlest you had a choice of selling it which you clearly didn't considering we're on her way to go live in it "

" How can you say that? " Her mom asked , disbelief clearly written on her face. " You know that's the last thing your father left for us, it's the last reminder of his existence here on earth. So sorry to disappoint you , but I can't just go ahead and sell something he told us as a matter of fact in his will to occupy ! " She snapped, gritting her teeth.

She was on the edge of losing control which she couldn't afford at the moment. It was unfair transferring her aggression on her daughter. Her brown eyes met Lia's and she saw the anger there.

Lia sniffed, a blushy tone on her nose probably as a result of the cold but that didn't stop her from rubbing it as she sassed back "Maybe if he had being a good father, I would've complied effortlessly with his will. "

"Lia ? " Her mom warned, an edge to her voice

Lia grimaced, "You know what mom, I'm not having this discussion with you. So can we leave for the grand palace already? "

Her mom knew she was mocking her but she couldn't do anything at all. Renard was a good lover but he was never a good father nor husband so she couldn't exactly blame her. Lia had every right to be angry, she practically forced the whole packing out thing on the kids.

"Get in the car " Mom said to Rex who apparently snuck his head out the car window hoping to get a piece of the juicy argument.

"Oww" Rex whined, "Guess I'm late " He said, dissapointed he didn't get any of the juicy gossip .

Lia ignored him and got in . Thankfully, Trevor discovering the ugly scowl on his sister's face didn't bother her, he knew better than to push her button at the moment.

After a lot of inquiries and directions from the locals, they finally arrived. Rex was the first to jump out excitedly, followed by their mom and Trevor. Lia , taking a deep breath reluctantly stepped out of the car looking around.

"This should be it " Her mom muttered starring at some papers in her hand.

Lia stared at the house, it was a two storey bungalow with it's second storey built into a sloping roof and surrounded by wide verandas. It's painted a deep brown and white on the windowsill while the driveway was surrounded with carpet level greenery.

Lia couldn't help but gape at the huge trees and shrubs surrounding the building, obviously lack of care had weed growing all over.

Eventhough she was still angry at this whole relocating thing but she got to admit, this place was awesome.

"I guess we're gonna do, weeding? " Trevor

asked , his voice etched with uncertainty as he glanced at the grasses.

"Obviously " Their mom commented as they chuckled oblivious to the eyes watching them from the shadow.
