Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-59. Greatest weapon

[Ezra]

After a relatively tense drive, I finally parked my car near the entrance of the Virgo palace. Xanthea hadn't said a word ever since we began our ride.

I knew she was sitting with her thoughts, revisiting her memories and reliving the pain.

I could read her eyes and how they lit up and dulled with the changing array of her thoughts.

Her breath had an irregular rhythm, but I could still decipher them as words on pages. And the screams she never cried manifested as the assault of her heartbeats against her ribs.

I had a conversation with her silence that spoke to me more than her words ever would.

Shutting her eyes, Xanthea clenched the fabric of her dress over her thighs.

I placed my hand on hers, feeling the subtle tremble in her fingers.

Her eyes, bleary with uncertainty and fear, met mine. She shook her head, her brows knitting together in a silent plea.

Intertwining my fingers with hers, I smiled slightly.

"You can do it. I know you can and you will. Because you know how to play your games with... shampoo poured all over the floor."

With the apprehensive look still sprawled across her eyes, she broke into a soft chuckle.

I smiled back at her.

"I mean, it was a brilliant idea. Stupid, but brilliant," I said.

She shook her head as her chuckles turned into half whimpers and half giggles.

"Hey! I am serious! I would have slipped right on the shampoo and fallen like a clown, given how impulsive I am. Might have fractured my tailbone and then Raven would have to heal my ass and I don't even wanna imagine Raven healing my ass."

"Oh, goddess..." Xanthea puckered her face, placing her hand over her mouth.

The second hand embarrassment had her cracking up badly, laughing while she gave me the weirdest, odd comedic look, as though I was really a clown.

I contemplated her with a subtle smile.

Once Xanthea had controlled her laughter, I licked my lips and said.

"Your smile is your weapon, angel. It's your greatest weapon. So keep it safe, hidden, but handy. Your laughter, your happiness, is what's going to kill them alive."
