The Leigh Legacy: 4.6 - Lost Sight of Light
Previously:
The Leigh changed a new world to live in.
Yet the new world is filled with vampire haters.
Jin seems set on sending Freed to a boarding school.
Jin is not young anymore time for wrinkies~
Carameia: O.O
You are still my evergreen heartthrob! <3
Back at school campus.
This is Teen Karyn. Faust’s youngest daughter.
Freed: "I’m going off first, got to meet Ms Kim."
Usui: "Go on. See you back home."
Freed: "Thank you for coming. First please accept my formal apology."
Mi Hye: "A rose?! Thank you."
Mi Hye: "Do I look like a narrow-minded teacher to you? I was partly at fault too, sorry."
Freed: "Ah! Remember the new school website you asked me to design? It’s done, saved it in a thumb drive. You can find it on your desk just beside the laptop."
Mi Hye: "?!! The deadline is still a long way. It is the end of this year you know right?"
Freed: "Yeah, of course… Have a look when you get back, if you happen to find any broken links or error, email me I’ll fix it tonight. Although that shouldn’t be the case because I have already checked though it more than ten times."
Mi Hye: "Why the sudden rush?"
Freed: "Nothing, I just want to have it settled. You know I hate dragging."
Mi Hye: "No, something is wrong. This isn’t you, what is it? Tell me!"
Freed: "You got me. Nothing can escape the eyes of 'Shrewd Teacher' Ms Kim huh?"
Freed: "Tomorrow… I’m going to study abroad."
Mi Hye: "WHAT?!"
Freed: "I don’t wanna leave. So… no idea when but… I like y-"
Mi Hye: "Please don’t say it."
Freed: "..."
Mi Hye: "..."
Freed: "Take care... Goodbye."
Jin: "Usui, you’re back. You alone? Where’s your brother? Can we talk?"
Jin: "I know you have been upset because of my decision."
Usui: "You know… then why ask?"
Jin: "All parents want the best for their children and I’m NO DIFFERENT. All I did are for his own good so as to secure a better future for him."
Usui: "Blah, blah, la… ALL EXCUSES NOT LISTENING!"
Jin: "…"
*squee*
Usui: "A new baby gnome?"
Newbie: "That’s right, he is my second son - Noble"
Usui: "Come here Cuppa, stay away from bad people."
Usui: "I have been good all this while so you take me for granted. From now on, I’m not doing any homework till you allow Bro to stay. WATCH ME, I MEAN IT!!"
May I add that although Usui is Good. Recently she is still saddened by the loss of Great-grandmother, now Freed - her only brother/friend besides Cuppa and Ms Kim is getting send away. Coupled with a bad day mood swing, this is plainly unavoidable.
Cuppa: "That’s right, she mean it."
Usui: (I’ll bathe Cuppa and make a mess at Dad’s personal bathroom.)
*scratch*
Cuppa: "NYAHH!!"
Apparently things don't go like planned as Cuppa hates water.
That night…
Freed: (Let this be my last prank and parting gift to the family. Though I lean towards the hope that Dad will be the one who gets it.)
Xenia: "OMG OMG… WHAT DID I FORGOT AGAIN? IS IT IMPORTANT?!! Do I sound like you? Ha, ha, …it's not very funny huh?"
Xenia: "Have an early rest, be safe. I will miss you, my boy."
Freed: (Hmm, I wonder what did Mom just said? Can’t really recall.)
Never: "ACCKK… The light is blinding me."
Freed: (This is goodbye… Lil sis.)
Stefan: "Good morning Sir. I called to inform you that this will be my last day, I’m retiring…"
Jin: "HURRAH!!!"
Xenia: "Hubby, I appreciate your thought but why don’t you go for a bath first."
Stefan: "Tsk, tsk, tsk… she mean you stinks."
Jin: "…"
*sob*
Xenia: "I’m so happy for you Grandpa. You’ve worked the whole of your life, it’s time for you to take it easy and relax."
Stefan: "My dear, don’t get so emotional. Be happy, it’s a joyous occasion."
Now Stefan can cook whenever he feel like it.
Cuppa: "Why are you looking at me??"
Cuppa: "I’mma smack you down!"
O.o
Cuppa: (It dodges?!)
Looks like it’s not dad who got pranked…
Stefan: (Who would play such a prank?)
Stefan: "FREEEDDDD!!!"
Stefan has taken over the job of taking care of the garden after Lilly passed away.
He should have more time for gardening now since he have finally retired.
End of Day 1 of Retirement. So many happenings in just 1 day, sure is fun.
Stefan: (Time to rest. Sigh… why is Umi hogging my bed. Well, whatever.)
Stefan: (What’s happening? Let me contemplate.)
*glances*
Umi: "Mmm, Yum… Nachos."
Stefan: (Sweet dreams, Umi...)
Stefan: (Now I'm floating. Interesting... this is beyond the law of gravity.)
Umi: "DADDD!!!!!!!"
Xenia: "GRANDPA!"
Usui: "Can someone shut the door?"
Death: "WELL, WELL, WELL, WE MEET AGAIN. SO SOON SO FAST... BWAH-HAH-HAH! YOU THINK SHUTTING A DOOR WILL STOP ME?!"
Death: "I’ll just phases through the wall. And when that happens you will all pay!"
Death: "Err… did someone just took my scythe? I still need it, um... mind if you return it?"
Stefan: "Stay back. DEATH! I'm the one you want, leave others alone."
*Opens door*
Usui: "GRANDUNCLE?!?!"
Faust: "Locking the door to stall time won’t solve the problem. Let him be… let Stefan depart peacefully."
Usui: "Please don't leave."
Death: "Damn straight. Now let’s get going."
*all heartbroken*
Xenia: "Grandpa just retired today. He can’t just GO… he is supposed to have MORE TIME with us."
Here lies The Leigh Legacy first two generations.
R.I.P.
YOU ALL WILL BE MISSED
The tiny magical gnome has laid his foot on this field of sorrow, illuminating the shadows with a sliver of light.
Jin: "Cry. Cry it all out, this way you will feel much better."
I fully understand you are trying to console Xenia but don’t you guys mind the greenish toxic that is being produced?
Jin only left the room until Xenia is fully asleep. He really is a responsible husband and father.
Jin: "I've thought about it and I think it is better that we keep Stefan's news from Freed. At least until he finishes his studies."
Usui: "Suit yourself."
From the moment Freed and Usui are born, Jin had their lives planned out. Unknowing that what they simply want is the freedom of choice.
To numb her miserable heart, Umi dedicated her life to music. She is here at the bookstore to purchase a new music composition.
Umi: "ALRIGHT! 'Dream Escape' memorised..."
Umi: "And MASTERED!"
Other than practicing music Umi likes roaming the street. At least these things can keep her mind occupied. Although she still looks sad to me.
Rain: "Mom?! Why are you here?"
Umi: "Great to see you. I'm just walking around, you know with no purpose. What about you?"
Rain: "Me? I'm collecting articles and materials for my column. I'm a news journalist now."
Umi: "Did you know that your grandfather passed away recently?"
Rain: "Yeah, I've heard. That's unfortunate."
Rain: "Come, let's go."
Umi: "To where?"
Rain: "To a place that will cheer you up."
They ended up in a beauty salon. The most popular one in town, just look at the crowd. Umi seems like you have to wait.
Among them are Daren, Milton and Gabriel facing the back.
Gabriel: "What do you think?"
Wardrobe Stylist: "Hmm... still too flashy."
Gabriel: "Really? I find it okay. Milton what do you say?"
Milton: "Listen to the professionals."
Wardrobe Stylist: "Trust me, I'll find you your style."
Gabriel: "WOW! Is this me? I feel so fresh!"
Wardrobe Stylist: "Congrats." (Now move on to the next customer.)
Few Generations down the line, I think Snob is becoming one of Leighs traitmark. xD
Umi: "HELLO~ Seriously how long are you going to let me wait? This mirror and sink doesn't belong to you only."
Daren: "Wait, give me another 5 minutes 'kay."
Umi: "No more 'another' its 'last'."
Curious... this makes me wonder how much time of his life is spent in front of the mirror.
Faust: "Mites love dirty puppies and they will burrow under your skin and lay their eggs."
Conveniently as a supernatural, Faust can read minds and communicate with animals. Thus he is the natural choice after Stefan to take care of the pets.
Faust: "Want to get rid of them now?"
Carameia: "Shower, pool whatever it is as long as it makes me clean."
A good example why food and TV/toys/games must be placed apart. You will tend to be distracted and not concentrate on eating.
On the other hand, one should never overeat.
Jin: "You miss grandpa? I miss him too. Here let's share this leftover pasta made by him. Its our last chance to remember this taste by heart."
Cuppa: "YUMMEH!"
Delicious to the last lick.
The night has arrived and everyone is asleep except one.
A cat waiting devotedly for the return of his departed master.
-------------------
This huge tree which relentlessly sheltered its young seedlings from the storms has finally fallen. The time for independence has come, to stand up and walk an unguided path towards future.
"If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?"
