I DO NOT OWN LETTER BEE. I only own my OCs

She was laughing in her mind.

"Oh Cleora, can you please stay here…" she said as she pointed at the floor beside her bed. Cleora followed and stayed there. He stared at Lag who was scared out of his mind.

'I should make this more interesting…' She thought in her mind. It's time to embarrass them.

Lag's POV

"Cleora, can you get the box under my bed. I need something from inside, oh and if you see any pests. Don't hesitate to take it out." Nathalia said softly.

I was scared. I tightly held a bundle of my white hair. I was tearing up, I don't know what to do.

'What if she finds me? What will she do?!' I mentally slapped myself. I shouldn't have gone with Zazie. Niche already warned me but I didn't listen. The owl or Cleora apparently looked at me. His gaze was focused on me! He thinks I'm a pest! No, no, no, no, no! I covered my mouth with my hands as Cleora got near. He went beside me then took a small box and went on the bed.

I was safe. I'm so happy, I could cry right now.

I heard Nathalia put down the box on her dresser. After maybe half an hour there was no sound and movements made by Nathalia so I assume she's sleeping. I silently moved and stood up. I looked at her but she was facing the other side when I noticed, her face was about only half a ruler from Zazie's face.

'Help me' he was mouthing the words to me. He removed the pillow that covered most of his face and looked at where Nathalia was. Judging from his position, she was laying on his chest. I laughed in my head, that's what he gets for trying to prank somebody.

I only noticed it now but Cleora was staring at us. Then it happened…

Cleora made a loud noise and flew to us. It was terrifying. I know that it's an owl but seriously this is crazy scary. Felt like I was dodging a dozen of them since this owl moves fast. Seriously, is she sure this is an owl?! Zazie screamed and tried to help but to no avail. He jumped from the bed and was about to shoot Cleora but then we both realized something…. Nathalia was watching us. She moved gracefully from her bed and went to me. She whistled and Cleora stopped and sat on her shoulder.

"I must've fallen asleep while waiting for you guys to get out of my house…" she muttered under her breath.

Wait… what?

"Y-y-you kn-kne-knew we we-were h-he-he-here?" I stuttered.

She looked at me dangerously and then her gaze softened. Her sapphire eyes were….shimmering? Then she smiled.

"If I didn't know you were here. The situation would be different. I mean, if I didn't know you were here I would not have stopped Cleora."

"What kind of ****** name is Cleora? I mean it sounds like it belongs to a girl." Zazie half yelled and half talked.

"It's the same kind of ****** name as Zazie. It also sounds like it belongs to a girl." She replied calmly but I can see the tick mark on Zazie's forehead. They get along so well. I laughed even though I shouldn't.

"Are you guys gonna stay for the night? I recall that you guys wouldn't be delivering tomorrow."

"Uhm… Miss Verdencia, sorry for uhm uh breaking and entering your house. We're very sorry." I said.

"What do you mean we?!" again Zazie shouted but I knew that he was sorry in his heart. Sorry for himself for being so stupid. I mean, this plan had so many flaws in it.

"It's fine. Anyway there is a room beside the library, you two can stay there for the night."

I was lucky that Ms. Verdencia didn't have the same reaction as Niche. If Niche was in her place, well, I wouldn't have my head right now. I gulped and somehow my hand made its way to my throat, probably since I imagined about that horrible fantasy.

"uhm Miss Verdencia…."

"Call me Thalia or Naty. No need to be formal Lag."

"Uhm… Thalia. What do you mean me and Zazie are not going to deliver tomorrow?"

She simply replied with a smile and showed me and Zazie our room. I have a feeling that she won't tell me.

"Make yourself at home. I'll make breakfast tomorrow so be sure to wake up early. Goodnight."

After that she just left. She has that much trust in us or she made traps in this room. Honestly I prefer the first one. Zazie was just silent. I noticed that he didn't leave or complain about staying here. Maybe he does like being with her. Maybe.

Both of us took of our hats, jackets, scarfs and boots. I went to sleep on the bed while Zazie stayed on the couch. The night was silent and I couldn't help but think that something was amiss, maybe because I won't be with Niche tonight. I bet she's worried but I couldn't do anything now. I decided to go to sleep.

~~Time Skip~~

There was a knock on the door but I didn't answer it.

"Breakfast is ready." Nathalia said through the door.

I opened my eyes and just laid there. I looked at the couch and Zazie was still sleeping. I fixed my clothes and went downstairs when suddenly my nose was filled with the most amazing scents. I made my way to the table and saw Thalia in the kitchen wearing a blue dress and a white apron. She looked so motherly that it would be hard to believe she kills gaichuus for a living.

She handed me a plate with scrambled eggs, bacon and a cinnamon bun.

"I made the cinnamon from scratch so it might not be as good as store bought ones."

I took a bite and it was amazing. I never want to stop eating her cooking! Zazie is missing out on such wonderful things. I should set the two up.

'They will never get bored with each other.' I thought as I munched on my breakfast.
