Saint Slayer of the Passover chapter 5
It was four years ago when my family was still alive. To be honest, it was my happiest moments.
The sky was clear with bright blue color. As the snow stopped pouring from the sky, it was mid-winter.
Clovis was fourteen back then, still growing to become a fine young man his father hoped to see. His family was busy for days of preparing supplement to go to their uncle's house down the city called. Salisbury.
Our house was located far from the city into a country side. The house was built with thick pine tree with bricks piled on the rooftop for the chimney fire to go out of the house, whenever it was used. We also had a large barn that held twenty hens, two cows, two white and black horses and some other animals.
"Lousis, Clovis! Don't play around in the snow for too long or else you'll get a cold!" he's mother opened the window to call us from the inside of the kitchen room.
"Yes, mom!" Clovis panted from running around in the snow for too long. He wore a warm, fur coat with green and red strips scarf wrapped around his neck. His leather boots sunk inside the snow that poured twelve inches while his entire coat was covered in snow.
Lousis grabbed some snow in his hands. He patted a little to make a snow ball and threw it at his brother who was struggling to walk properly on the snow.
Suddenly white ball came towards Clovis. It hit the Clovis' face with full speed while he fell hard on his bottom. "Nah!" the snow spattered all over his face that looked like a cream. He sat down on a freezing snowy ground and tasted the frosted bits of snow on his lips.
"Big brother is a melted snowman!" lousis laughed his lungs out until he couldn't say a word. He arched his stomach from laughing too much.
"Thanks for the advice, lousis." He wiped off the snow with his leather mittens. He could feel his nose been frozen with red marks. "Cold!" he yelped when one drop of snow melted inside his gum.
"Clovis! Lousis! I need your help!" their mother called again.
"I'm coming! okay, you guys! Time to wrap it up! Let's go home!" he called the children as loud as he can since the group was separated.
The children quickly stopped what they were doing and ran towards where lousis and Clovis were standing.
"Lousis-niisan! Look, what I made! A little boy held out a snow carved into a shape of some kinds of animals. The snow was cleared a like crystal that's already started to melt on the boy's hands.
"What's that?" Clovis asked.
"A reindeer! The boy giggled. ' can we keep it?"
"Hmm… I don't think it'll last very long. Clovis told him. "It'll melt by the time we reach home."
They walked up the highest hill for thirteen minutes. Their house was right below the hill half way down from the other side. As they made it half through, there was a young woman in her thirties waiting for us to come back home safety. that was their mother.
The reason was there's a lot of wild animal that can come out of the forest and either disturbed our farm animals or destroy the barn if there's a wild bear.
Their mother full name is Maria Wiston. She was married to a priest name Henrickson Wiston who is Clovis father. They both volunteered to take care of the children who don't have parents. Along with her birth children, lousis, Clovis, and Mimi, that created one huge family.
The total of orphanages were fifteen and they had to take care of them for day to night, daily.
Sudden rustle sound came behind the bushes. Clovis and lousis stopped for moment with their hearts pounded faster and faster. Right, behind them, there was a green bush that kept on moving on its own.
"Lousis, have you seen Steven lately?" Maria's eyes searched for a missing person. "I don't see him."
"Don't worry!" a voice came out of the bushes. Steven popped out of the bushes. He held a white rabbit in his hands. "Mom, can I have him as my pet?"
"Well. We have to build a cage from him. And I don't think we have enough carrots harvested this year. But I'll ask your father."
"Yay!" Steven stopped holding on the rabbit's ears and held it into his arms like a baby.
