"Hey!"

Paris was shoved onto the ground. Sylvia stood above him with her shoe pressed hard against his chest. And the man knew he had a limited time before Sylvia critically injured him.

" Keina's not with me! Keina's not with me!" Paris repeated himself, the pressure on his chest increased.

"Sylvia! Stop! Please just stop! Keina's dead! Keina's dead!"

Slowly, Sylvia removed her foot from Paris's chest. "What in fucking hell do you mean Keina's dead?"

"She went to try to find you and the next thing I know is she's dead by a bear attack!" Paris explained.

"Were you there?" Sylvia asked.

"Yes! I mean...no...I mean...I wasn't there during the attack, but I found her after the attack." Paris answered.

"Did you check for her pulse?" Sylvia asked.

"I didn't want to touch her body!" Paris objected to what Sylvia had asked him.
 

"Then how do you she's 100 percent dead?" Sylvia asked.

"WOULD YOU STOP WITH ALL THESE QUESTIONS?!" Paris screamed. "I JUST LOST MY BOSS!"

"Who is the same person who tried to kill me and Wander!" Sylvia shouted right back to the black-haired man. "Now get away from my house."

"W-What?"

"I SAID GET AWAY FROM MY HOUSE!"

Paris went running and Sylvia went back into the house. Wander looked at his older sister worryingly. Sylvia walked over and took the bowl of now finished Dried Herbs and Soup to the sink and started to wash of what remained.

"Sylvia?" Wander asked. "You okay?"

Sylvia game a weak fake smile. "Yeah, little bro, I'm okay."

Wander held his arms out and Sylvia took it as he wanted to be picked up out of the chair. Instead, he wrapped his arms loosely around Sylvia's neck. Sylvia then felt Wander press a kiss to her right cheek.

"No lying." Wander said. "Lying bad."
 

Sylvia giggled and nuzzled her head against Wander's head. "Okay, big sis won't lie anymore."

But who knows how long it would be until Sylvia would have to lie again.
