Eric leaned forward, eyes wide.
Eric: "Then… then what happened, uncle Joseph?" 🙁
Joseph exhaled, remembering.

💥 THE VESSEL THAT FELL
"It wasn't the vessel falling on us that scared everyone,"
Joseph said.
"It was the feeling behind it."
A pressure.
A dark aura.
Someone furious.
"When we looked up—"
All the children held their breath.

👁 A WOMAN IN WHITE GOWN
"—we saw her."
A woman standing on the balcony railing,
white gown flowing behind her,
hair wild from the wind,
eyes burning like fire.
Her face looked calm…
but her anger could have burned the whole mansion down.
She didn't look scared.
She didn't look hurt.
She looked…
Fearless.
Vengeful.
Untouchable.
Joseph shivered remembering the moment.

Thomas: "She must have looked like an angel!" 😍
Joseph shook his head slowly.
Joseph: "No, Thomas. Not an angel."
"A devil wearing an angel's face." 😨
"Even now… thinking of her gives me chills."
He hugged himself, actually trembling.
The kids went silent.

🔥 WHAT DID SHE DO?
Emily whispered,
"Did she attack you?"
Joseph laughed dryly.
"She was about to."
"But before she could move…
she stopped."
Everyone leaned in.
"She paused…
looked at us for exactly two seconds…"
Joseph lifted two fingers dramatically.
"Then she tilted her head slightly and said—"

⚡ AMBER SPEAKS
Amber:
"Thank you for saving me."
"And… sorry for the damage.
I'll pay for the expense."
Joseph slapped his own forehead.
Joseph: "EXPENSE? EXPENSE!?"
"Do you know how much she broke!?" 😤
The kids giggled.
But then—
Amber turned her head and GLARED.
One sharp look.
Cold.
Silent.
Warning.
Joseph stiffened recalling it.
Joseph: "Her glare could stop a person's heart."
---
Thomas: "H-how did she know what happened…?" 😶
Joseph smirked proudly.
"That's Amber sis."
"She took just one look at our faces…
our clothes…
the angle of the broken vessel…
our positions…"
"And she instantly understood everything that happened before she woke up."
"No one told her a single word."
---
Joseph: "Her intelligence isn't a joke, Thomas." 😎
"It's terrifying."
Even Justin nodded quietly.
He had experienced that intelligence firsthand.
