Philly drove deeper into the woods. There were hardly any houses on the side road. Bright looked through the window. How were they going to get basic necessities when they were out of them. She looked at Philly who was still going deeper.
"Sigh."
In the middle of the dense forest was a newly furnished,spic and span,state of the art rambler x cabin house. It was perfect,the area,the house, everything was just sublime.
They got off the car. Philly walked in pain. Her ankle was probably twisted from the earlier fight. She tried hiding it but she made a wrong step and tripped.
"Auntie!" Bright called out as she fell.
"A.....am fine chipmunk....just need to rest for a bit. Help me up will ya."
Bright helped her up and took her inside. The rage he had was still burning strong especially since Philly was hurt now,but he kept it in check.
Philly sat on the couch fully exhausted. Bright took the responsibility of cooking up something to eat.
The kitchen was packed with ingredients and everything else needed to make food. He decided on spaghetti grabbing two packs and a pot. He took the needed stuff like spices and toppings. It took him half an hour to emerge with a fine looking plate of pasta topped with coriander.
"Wow Bright, this looks really good! The smell is making my saliva boil." Philly said picking up her fork and spinning it round the spaghetti. Her eyes widened as she slurped it up. It wasnt just appealing to the eye but its taste was on a whole other level.
"I learned it from mom, only thing I could cook well from all the dishes she taught me."
"Well you aced it. She would be proud you know, don't you agree?"
"Maybe,am not too sure though." Bright replied toying with his food.
Philly looked at Bright. She felt proud to have someone as caring as him.
"Soul of flame,a burning desire to be perfect and dependable. Your sure to become someone great Bright. You just lack the skills and no vessel is obsolete. I can mould you into your perfect form, I can give you the strength to become what you desire.....the only price is to give me all your dedication." Philly said giving off major grandma vibes.
"W....what do you mean by that auntie?" Bright asked understanding only half of what Philly said.
"You wanna train with me?" she said giving of a dark vibe," you wanna be strong right? You wanna protect those you love right? I'll make you that and so much more,all you have to do is accept it...only that."
Bright did want everything Philly said, but the vibe she let off wasnt something Bright though her aunty could let off. He was intoxicated with it.
It feels or but what other choice do I have? I cant let auntie take on this crappy situation herself. I have to help her.
"So Bright...are you ready to become a killer?"
