She finally faced her lost best friend who is lying on the coffin that is just on his size. She is holding Prince's collar with his name on it. There's no tears coming out from her eyes and she is just standing in front of the coffin staring at Prince who only seems like sleeping. They let them watch her beloved dog standing there for almost hour. Edmond stood walking towards her and he put his arms around her.
"I will just ignore him," she speaks in low voice. Edmond leans his head on hers.
"We should take him to where he belongs." He whispered on her gently.
She nods and turns around. They all stood when she finally walked away from the coffin. Her werewolves" friends are there also the witch, Gretta. Gretta will make the ritual to put Prince in peace. Since Prince is a wolf hound dog and he is related to the werewolves he might reincarnate to another body of a dog.
Edmond never leaves her side. He is holding her hand and make sure that she is secured on his hand. Reina is with Lester and it's like she doesn't want to let him go. Gia watch them holding hands together while the other arm of Lester is around her comforting her. She looked afraid, sad and feared. She knows why she is like that. She feared death and loosing of her love because of the stupid curse that the witch had cursed in their blood line.
The wind blows with the dry leaves while Gretta is doing the ritual. Gia stiffens when she felt like half of her is slowly dying. Edmond hold her cold hands tight. He had caught her when she almost drops her knees on the ground. Her parents, brother and sister move to their sides. Ares hold his daughters arm.
Reina felt the same thing to. She had leave Lester's arms and runs to Gia. She is worried on her though she felt the same thing like it's torturing her mind.
"Gia..." Ares calls. Gia close her eyes and there are visions that are keeping flashing in her mind. Visions that might be real but it seems real in her head.
"Gia, please say something." Edmond begs worried. It's like she doesn't heard anyone. Things are turning blurred and terrifying inside her mind. Gia opens her eyes and Edmond's face is the first thing she saw.
"Ed," she whispered and she collapsed. Reina collapsed too after she did. She fell on the ground and Lester runs to her.

She woke up inside her room. Edmond is sitting beside her, his face shows worries and anxiety. Her father, mother, sister and brother are there together with Gretta. Edmond smiled at her a little to comfort her.
"Baby, what do you feel?" her mother asked. She tries to speak but it's dry and rough. Edmond gave her a glass of water with a straw and she sipped a little.
"I'm fine, Mum." She said sitting up.
"Okay, I will prepare for dinner. You need to eat." Her mother insisted. She kissed her daughter in forehead and she leave.
Reina rushed to Gia's room when she wakes up in Lester's arm. Gia is just lying on the bed while Edmond is fixing some wires in the monitor. Reina sighed in grief and she jumped to bed hugging Gia.
"You get me worried," she told her. Gia hugged her back.
"It was real." Gia whispered to her so Edmond won't hear them. Reina hushed her and pushed her gently to face her. She caressed her hair wiping her tears.
"Don't worry, we can solve this thing. Okay? You are a great planner, everything will be alright." She whispered softly.
They all went for the dinner in a very long table with Blake's but Lawrence and Logan with their wives had gone for the mission. No one is trying to open a conversation and the silence makes them deaf. Gia is just playing on her food and no intention on eating it. Edmond took her fork and he rolls it on the pasta and he moved it in front of her mouth so she can eat. She shook her head and just lean her cheek on her palm that is propped on the glass table. But Edmond insisted and grimace at her. She opens her mouth and eats it lazily.
"Gia why won't you just eat your food and don't make Edmond feed you." Athena told breaking the silence. Gia just sighed and drink her water.
"It's okay, at least she eat." Edmond said smiling and he really feed her but after 3 fork of pasta she pushed her plate away. "You want desert?" he asked.
"Yes, maybe sweets will relieve my depression." She said in almost a whisper.
They all smiles when she is getting better than the first time she lost her dog. Edmond is curing her by his care and love. Although it is relieve, Ares can't take his awareness about them. Too much attached, too much care and too much love will kill somebody inside, slowly.
"Sundae or chocolate mousse?" Edmond asked in very honeyed voice.
"Second choice," she said lazily. The robot maid had served Gia her chocolate mousse that had prepared in the robot's freezer inside it.
"Chocolate mousse, Miss Gia. Enjoy your desert." The robot said.
"What are you planning this weekend?" Ares asked her daughter. "You can't just stay here like that."
"I want to go far," she told scooping her ice cream. "I need to discover something new." She said. Athena smiled and others.
"That's good. At least you are willing to enjoy everything." Athena said.
"Are you coming with me?" Gia asked her fiancé? They all looked at Edmond. Edmond smiled at her.
"Yes, I'll go anywhere with you."
"That was so romantic." Miles said and they all looked at him. Stephen kicked him under the table. "Hey, at least I can say that. What about you? No love life." He said ironically to his twin.
"Hey, don't say that. You don't have a love life too, in fact, Victoria just dumped you." Stephen threw back. They all glanced at Victoria who is just quiet and she's bit pale. It is like she didn't hear anything from them. Ares glanced on the mirrored wall to the backyard and he saw a man wearing a white t-shirt. Then it just disappears.
"Why did she dump you?" Athena asked Miles who is flushing because of what Stephen had revealed. He is going to kill his brother after these things.
"She doesn't like me." Miles murmurs. "It's okay, it was just a crush since I was crushed on her." he murmurs again on his plate. Gia laughs that makes them all stopped. They looked at her and she is laughing while wiping her tears from the side of her eyes.
"You really suck on courting my sister." Gia said stopping from laughing. Victoria got their attention and she was bit quizzical.
"Okay, it's not that I don't like you, Miles. But I am not in love with you or not even attracted so you have to understand that." Victoria said bluntly to Miles. Miles just grin lopsidedly. "What?" Victoria asked puzzled on his expression.
"I know that I am handsome and still you are not attracted on me, why is that?" he asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Why is that, what?!" she frowned as if she don't get him. She clearly don't get him.
"Why are you not attracted on me and don't find me hot or sexy or gorgeous?" Miles questioned that makes them all laughs. Victoria is losing patience so she drop her fork and put her palms on the table.
"I simply don't attract on guys like you, or Stephen, but no offense..." she told them.
"None taken." Stephen said hands up. Victoria faced Miles again who is just in front of her.
"Yes you are attractive, but you are not that attractive that gets my attention." She said straight forward.
"Ah, so now I am attractive." Miles grins.
"Are you deaf or just fool?" she asked sardonically. "It is crystal clear that I am not attracted on you though every female said so!" Victoria's face is red because of annoyance through Miles.
"What is your ideal in a man?" Miles asked intertwining his fingers propping his elbows on the table and leaning his chin over her intertwined fingers.
"I don't know." She shook her head picking back her fork. "Maybe someone who is not an asshole—"
"Language!" Athena and Alex reminds at the same time.
"Sorry Mum, Bro, just slipped out." She told them winking and she face back Miles. "Anyway, someone who had a gorgeous gut not like yours." She said forthright.
"Point taken." Miles nod bouncing his head. Gia giggles and everyone did. "Anyway it's not the end of the world, I can still court someone—" and he eyed on Reina. Lester threw a dead arrow to him. "Someone who is human and not that cold through males." He added turning his eyes on Victoria.
Gia is lying on Edmond's arms. She didn't cry but she is just silent while staring on the luminous paintings on the walls and ceilings of her room that she painted. It's dark and she got blindness on the dark.
"I love your room,"
"You like it?" she asked curling her fingers on his chest.
"No, I love it." He grinned. She just smiled a little and sighed.
"There are so many memories here with my dog. He helps me record some new songs in the recording room by paddling the bass drum... he help me on painting..."
"He's like your shadow..."
"And he's like my guardian too," she told him. "Gretta told me that Prince had chosen me to guard and to be his master. Prince belongs to the werewolves and his ancestors are the faithful pets of them." he wanted to hear more but she's not speaking. He just realized that she's already asleep. He curled his fingers on her hair and stare on the ceiling with the luminous galaxy that she painted. It is like you are in the outer space with lots of shinning meteors and stars from far away or simply the planets.
He had wakes up in the middle of the night. He looked for Gia's touch because she is no longer on his arms. He sat up when he realized that she's not on the bed. He went to the glass window and he saw that there's a light from the garage. He put his thick robe on and he picks a blanket from the drawer. He went to the garage and saw his fiancée busy on painting. She had finished the half of the wall on the left side. She had many sizes of brushes on the pocket belt around her waist.
"Gia, why are you still awake?" he asked her.
"I can't sleep." She simply replies. Edmond put the blanket on the couch and walks towards her hugging her from back, kissing the crook of her neck. "Move away, I can't paint thoroughly." She said coldly.
"Let's just sleep, please." He begs at her in sweet voice.
"I will sleep when I am tired enough to sleep." She said still cold. Edmonds yawns leaning his chin over her shoulder.
"How long have you been here?"
"Just 30 minutes ago."
"Okay, I will just sleep here on the couch and just slipped on my side when you are tired."
"Okay." He kissed her cheek and he went to the couch.
She was painting the whole wall for three hours and the two corner of the garage is done with her master piece. She is tired and she went to the couch where Edmond is sleeping. She pulls up the warm blanket and slipped on the couch beside him. She pillowed her arms and pulls up the blanket over their shoulders. Edmond wrapped his arms around her sniffing her hair.
"Sleep my love." He whispered. "I love you." he told her. Gia breathes and sleep.
****
Victoria is making her daily video so when she didn't caught the couple on Gia's bed room she roam around the house ignoring the ghost who is stalking her. Her ability on seeing spirits, ghosts, and other supernatural beings that can't see with some naked eyes only is from her father. Ares can see ghosts too and also his best friend Lawrence so they understand her fear and that she's not crazy.
When she entered on the half open garage she saw the garage. She is like in the fairy tale or in the garden of the fairies. The butterflies are almost like 3D which seemed too perfect and too unbelievable. She slowly walks towards the couch while focusing her camera to Edmond and Gia who are sleeping on the couch in one blanket. Gia got some paint on her face while Edmond is snoring softly on her neck.
"Gosh, they are so cute together..." she whispered admiring them. "I think I need to go before his royal highness wakes up." she gently walks out the garage closing it.
His wrist watch had alarm which is it's time for his medicine. His arms are numb but he felt warm. He need to drink his medicine, so he gently hold the back of her head letting her lie on the couch and he slipped out the couch careful not to wake her up. He covered the blanket to her, kissing her forehead.
He had drink his medicine after getting two burger on the saucer with milks for his and his beloved breakfast. Gia is still sleeping. She had paint stains on her face. He ordered the robot to get a towel and a container of water. He watched her sleeping while he's waiting for the water and the towel. She is sleeping peacefully but he felt vulnerable inside like she felt too.
He dipped the towel on the water and he started removing the paints on her face. He wanted to take care of her until they grow old. He will surely be the best husband that she won't resist. He kissed her lips parting her lips by his lower lips to wake her up. It always works to wake her up whenever he kissed her lips. She's like Aurora or Sleeping beauty. She had open her eyes. She is sore and don't want to wake up.
"Good morning, love. Let's eat our breakfast." He smiled at her. She rubbed her eyes to adjust in the light.
"I'll just sleep..." she groans closing her eyes again. Edmond cuddles her.
"C'mon, labs. You can sleep after eating then we can continue painting." He kissed her curve of her neck. "C'mon..." he insisted. Gia didn't know how to say no on his importunate attitude. He's so "makulit" or demanding or importunate that he doesn't want to stop on pushing her to eat or do something.

She finally faced her lost best friend who is lying on the coffin that is just on his size. She is holding Prince's collar with his name on it. There's no tears coming out from her eyes and she is just standing in front of the coffin staring at Prince who only seems like sleeping.

Victoria got their attention and she was bit quizzical."Okay, it's not that I don't like you, Miles. But I am not in love with you or not even attracted so you have to understand that." Victoria said bluntly to Miles. Miles just grin lopsidedly. "What?" Victoria asked puzzled on his expression."I know that I am handsome and still you are not attracted on me, why is that?" he asked with furrowed eyebrows."Why is that, what?!" she frowned as if she don't get him. She clearly don't get him."Why are you not attracted on me and don't find me hot or sexy or gorgeous?" Miles questioned that makes them all laughs. Victoria is losing patience so she drop her fork and put her palms on the table."I simply don't attract on guys like you, or Stephen, but no offense..." she told them."None taken." Stephen said hands up. Victoria faced Miles again who is just in front of her."Yes you are attractive, but you are not that attractive that gets my attention." She said straight forward."Ah, so now I am attractive." Miles grins."Are you deaf or just fool?" she asked sardonically. "It is crystal clear that I am not attracted on you though every female said so!" Victoria's face is red because of annoyance through Miles."What is your ideal in a man?" Miles asked intertwining his fingers propping his elbows on the table and leaning his chin over her intertwined fingers."I don't know." She shook her head picking back her fork. "Maybe someone who is not an asshole""Language!" Athena and Alex reminds at the same time."Sorry Mum, Bro, just slipped out." She told them winking and she face back Miles. "Anyway, someone who had a gorgeous gut not like yours." She said forthright."Point taken." Miles nod bouncing his head. Gia giggles and everyone did. "Anyway it's not the end of the world, I can still court someone" and he eyed on Reina. Lester threw a dead arrow to him. "Someone who is human and not that cold through males." He added turning his eyes on Victoria.Gia is lying on Edmond's arms. She didn't cry but she is just silent while staring on the luminous paintings on the walls and ceilings of her room that she painted. It's dark and she got blindness on the dark."I love your room,""You like it?" she asked curling her fingers on his chest."No, I love it." He grinned. She just smiled a little and sighed."There are so many memories here with my dog. He helps me record some new songs in the recording room by paddling the bass drum... he help me on painting...""He's like your shadow...""And he's like my guardian too," she told him. "Gretta told me that Prince had chosen me to guard and to be his master. Prince belongs to the werewolves and his ancestors are the faithful pets of them." he wanted to hear more but she's not speaking. He just realized that she's already asleep. He curled his fingers on her hair and stare on the ceiling with the luminous galaxy that she painted. It is like you are in the outer space with lots of shinning meteors and stars from far away or simply the planets.He had wakes up in the middle of the night. He looked for Gia's touch because she is no longer on his arms. He sat up when he realized that she's not on the bed. He went to the glass window and he saw that there's a light from the garage. He put his thick robe on and he picks a blanket from the drawer. He went to the garage and saw his fiance busy on painting. She had finished the half of the wall on the left side. She had many sizes of brushes on the pocket belt around her waist."Gia, why are you still awake?" he asked her."I can't sleep." She simply replies. Edmond put the blanket on the couch and walks towards her hugging her from back, kissing the crook of her neck. "Move away, I can't paint thoroughly." She said coldly."Let's just sleep, please." He begs at her in sweet voice."I will sleep when I am tired enough to sleep." She said still cold. Edmonds yawns leaning his chin over her shoulder."How long have you been here?""Just 30 minutes ago.""Okay, I will just sleep here on the couch and just slipped on my side when you are tired.""Okay." He kissed her cheek and he went to the couch.She was painting the whole wall for three hours and the two corner of the garage is done with her master piece. She is tired and she went to the couch where Edmond is sleeping. She pulls up the warm blanket and slipped on the couch beside him. She pillowed her arms and pulls up the blanket over their shoulders. Edmond wrapped his arms around her sniffing her hair."Sleep my love." He whispered. "I love you." he told her. Gia breathes and sleep.****Victoria is making her daily video so when she didn't caught the couple on Gia's bed room she roam around the house ignoring the ghost who is stalking her. Her ability on seeing spirits, ghosts, and other supernatural beings that can't see with some naked eyes only is from her father. Ares can see ghosts too and also his best friend Lawrence so they understand her fear and that she's not crazy.When she entered on the half open garage she saw the garage. She is like in the fairy tale or in the garden of the fairies. The butterflies are almost like 3D which seemed too perfect and too unbelievable. She slowly walks towards the couch while focusing her camera to Edmond and Gia who are sleeping on the couch in one blanket. Gia got some paint on her face while Edmond is snoring softly on her neck."Gosh, they are so cute together..." she whispered admiring them. "I think I need to go before his royal highness wakes up." she gently walks out the garage closing it.His wrist watch had alarm which is it's time for his medicine. His arms are numb but he felt warm. He need to drink his medicine, so he gently hold the back of her head letting her lie on the couch and he slipped out the couch careful not to wake her up. He covered the blanket to her, kissing her forehead.He had drink his medicine after getting two burger on the saucer with milks for his and his beloved breakfast. Gia is still sleeping. She had paint stains on her face. He ordered the robot to get a towel and a container of water. He watched her sleeping while he's waiting for the water and the towel. She is sleeping peacefully but he felt vulnerable inside like she felt too.He dipped the towel on the water and he started removing the paints on her face. He wanted to take care of her until they grow old. He will surely be the best husband that she won't resist. He kissed her lips parting her lips by his lower lips to wake her up. It always works to wake her up whenever he kissed her lips. She's like Aurora or Sleeping beauty. She had open her eyes. She is sore and don't want to wake up."Good morning, love. Let's eat our breakfast." He smiled at her. She rubbed her eyes to adjust in the light."I'll just sleep..." she groans closing her eyes again. Edmond cuddles her."C'mon, labs. You can sleep after eating then we can continue painting." He kissed her curve of her neck. "C'mon..." he insisted. Gia didn't know how to say no on his importunate attitude. He's so "makulit" or demanding or importunate that he doesn't want to stop on pushing her to eat or do something.
