Marionette (Felix Lee)
Quattros

The air has been getting colder lately.

The towel that he dried in one of the hangers in the back of his yard was not even completely dry.If you touch it even seemed to take it out of the ice water.

Helena realized that the winter came faster than usual.It also can not do much because of the cold air.His body can not withstand the cold for too long.Tak like a pair of wild birds who somehow feel at home lingerlong perched on a branch of his tree in the backyard of the house.

Helena looked back and forth.In fact her morning was always the same.Nothing changed.Especially the backyard belongs to her neighbors.Hy in fact a little disappointed to find no one sitting there.As of that night.Both her legs walked a little further forward.One hand outstretched feeling the cold air blowing.

Without him noticing, the dew of ice was already coming down out there.Winter came earlier than he expected.

A small snowflake touched the back of his hand.Felt cold like a stranger.Helena was suddenly frightened.He finally ran as fast as possible into the house while closing the back door that directly leads to his garden.He did not expect,terrible memory through the snow is still imprinted.Elena almost suffocated made.His breathing was a little breathless.

Shortly after that,Helena just remembered that she was preparing something in her kitchen.His steam tuning already puffed smoke from a few minutes ago.It's time he to lift it from the stove.Tak forgot he had prepared the coffee bean powder that has been it's in his cup.

Espresso that he added a small cup of liquid milk it began to change color from pitch black to light brown color.Smoke from the liquid was still seen billowing into the air.For that, the,just dry bread makes it feel warmer.

Just like him, the neighbors are also not interested in getting out of his house when the air gets colder and makes the surrounding begin to freeze.The old man was busy himself with dolls of his collection.

"So, did you meet the girl?" Asked Chris to Felix who was sculpting there.In the glass display case he just finished a few days ago.Felix did not answer in the form of a doll like that in the morning.Chris can only sigh seriously, Felix shouldn't have shown his true form to anyone.Something dangerous could lurk at him at any time.

The old man finally opened the closet where the young man was pecking.Kalung with a moon-shaped pendant that he released slowly from Felix's neck.

Before long, the object had turned into a human being.Felix who was surprised had blinked his eyes repeatedly because he did not believe what his employer did.

The old man returned again to his seat.He had prepared a black bottle.Sloki near him he prepared to pour the contents of the bottle.Red color and very thick apparently very fitting to define the contents of the black bottle he had kept it for days.

The man gave it.Not to drink it himself turns out.He brought it closer to Felix.

"You need this, don't you?" Chris pointed at the sloki.

Felix was just silent.He then walked closer to his master's table.Seeing the small glass was full.Finally, thick and thick liquid that flows soaking his dry throat.It feels sweet, if the smell is really fishy.

Felix looked back at the man without a smile.They had one thing in common.Their eyes, cold sniffles that make people sometimes reluctant to approach.

Helena, with a thick jacket of purple.Tak forgot with a bag of his tote in the form of free vegetables that he got this morning.Helena walked alone among the boisterous crowded streets.Because he was on vacation, he was on a holiday,there is nothing to do but stay at home.The girl took a moment to walk towards the park in front of her.She sat on a simple wooden chair.Detaking her fatigue while there while looking at a young man in the middle feed the pigeons.The man sprinkled something, it looked like a bread crumb.In a moment, dozens of pigeons came to him.Invading every crumb scattered on the ground.The man with a black fur coat was seen smiling.He seemed to enjoy the activity.

When Helena was about to leave, the man called her name.

"Miss Helena!" Helena who was shocked turned her body.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Helena.

"It's okay.Just want to call you.It turns out the baker's aunt didn't lie to me."

"liying? Aboutwhat?"

"My name is Alberian.You probably don't really know about me as a pianist on Mr. Chris' show." Obviously the man named Alberian was.His body was tall with a beautiful brown mane.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice it." Helena.

"What's wrong.You're busy today?"

"No." Briefly talk.

Suddenly his hand was pulled.It was not forcefully pulled.

"Then I take you for a walk." Helena could not do anything.He just according to when he saw the beautiful smile was painted on the face of Alberian who looked warm.

That day, that day,Helena seems to enjoy her day.Although Alberian only invite her to talk with ordinary topics.Although Alberian only take her to the nearest restaurant but it feels good for Helena can get to know new people.Alberian also has a good sense of humor.He is even warmer from the looks of it.Then in a horse-drawn carriage, the Alberian drove the girl home safely until home.

"Thank you for being my friend, Miss Helena." Alberian's last words before going home.Helena is very grateful for that.

Not felt, the day so quickly ran out and made it back to his own backyard.His head looked back at the blackness of the night sky.There were no stars there.Only the moonlight he saw.His shoulders felt heavier.

Looking at her back from behind.Helena, felt very eager to hug her back.Not because of the size of her wide shoulders, but,it's just that he felt that the young man bore an immeasurable burden.Helena herself was also not too sure of his feelings.Unexpectedly, the sturdy body finally turned to look at him.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Helena asked Felix.The young man smiled.

"This house is different from temples, churches or other places.We are not always safe.Night is the time of the birth of the devil, the right time for them to come out of hiding in the dark." Felix said it as if it were normal.

"Well, you don't stay out of the house too long." Felix.

"But I just want to see the stars." Helena.

"Sorry miss.May I recall my words yesterday? You better not be a star."

"Why? They are beautiful, and they are in the sky." Helena was further astonished by Felix's strange thoughts.

"If you become a star, you will be someone who is difficult to achieve by something.I suggest you choose another."

"Chose what?"

In an instant, Felix was already in the presence of the young girl.He touched Helena's lips with his own index finger.Hope that the girl immediately shut up and go to sleep.

"This conversation, continues tomorrow.Now you have to sleep." While Helena could not dwell on anything, the girl complied and went to walk towards the door.

"Who are you going with?" Felix asked who paused for a moment Helena's steps.

"It's none of your business." Briefly Helena who entered his house.If he did not say anything, Felix already knew clearly who.
