When Liara reached home by night, she was surprised to see a robot at home.
“What the…” She looked at the female robot.
“Water, Lee!!” The robot spoke, getting a glass of water for her.
“You know my name,” Liara muttered, looking at her from top to bottom. If her upper layer finishing would have been done in a better way, then it would have been hard to recognize whether she was a robot or human.
“Yes! I know you. I’m built to look after you.” She spoke in a robotic tone.
“Odo!! What is all this?” Liara whined, getting irritated with him for wasting money on the garbage made of tin. She followed his scent and found him in the library, sitting with… Colton?
He had kept his scent hidden. That was why she couldn’t sense him earlier.
Her foot froze. She didn’t know how to react to this. He was here, at her home. It meant he was here to meet her, right?
At the same time, she automatically got the idea of who would have brought this robot. Her genius brother.
Colton stood up on his feet and straightened his suit like a perfect gentleman. They both walked toward each other. Meanwhile, she didn’t miss how his brown eyes started changing color to black, and she could sense darkness around him.
“Power,” He muttered in a tone that Liara couldn’t recognize. She reached her hand toward him and touched his cheek, helping him to calm down from negative energy. And his eyes returned back to their original brown color.
“What is wrong with you? Why every ounce of my body is screaming to kill you, Lee?” Colton asked, frowning and stepping away from Liara. Theodore quickly reached near Liara, not sure of Colton, who might lose his mind.
“I need to leave.” With that, he was ready to run away from there when Liara blocked his way. “Lee,” He warned her.
“You won’t harm me, brother,” Liara said, holding his hand, and immediately she saw a glimpse of the future.
‘Meet my right hand,’ Lestat spoke, and a person appeared beside him, shocking the hell out of her.
“Lia? Lia?” Theodore shook her body when he saw her getting freeze. Liara came to her sense and looked around, only to find Theodore. Colton wasn’t there.
“Colton?” She asked, wondering if she was dreaming of having him here.
“He ran away from here so fast as if your presence was suffocating him,” Theodore mumbled with a frown. Hell, even he couldn’t understand Colton’s behavior. He was here to meet Liara and check on her to see whether she and her pup was fine or not, but the moment he saw Liara, he ran away from her.
“Odo!! I saw…” Liara tried to speak but couldn’t.
“What did you see, Lia?” Theodore asked and saw her not able to speak after that.
‘I saw…’ She tried to mind link but failed.
“I get it. You’re not able to speak, right?” Theodore realized this because he had gone through the same thing. Liara nodded her head. “Whatever it is, maybe it should be something that you aren’t allowed to share.”
“Something happened with me, too,” Theodore revealed.
“Is it related to Colton?”
“Yeah,” Theodore admitted. Liara frowned, not knowing what she could do to change the future. She couldn’t imagine the situation in which she would have to fight with someone who always protected her.
“What did he mean by ‘POWER’ when you both were walking toward each other?” Theodore asked before she would have answered his question that robot spoke in the middle.
“Dinner is ready.”
“Oh! A gift from your brother for you.” Theodore said in an irritating way because he didn’t want any third party between them. “Now that she is here that you won’t get a chance to cook for you.”
“Don’t tell me you’re jealous of a robot.” Liara chuckled and looked at the robot. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Dotty.”
“Oh! That’s a sweet name.”
‘A sweet name, really?’ Theodore gave Liara a weird look but didn’t say anything about that.
“What else can you do except for cooking, Dotty?” Liara asked, looking at her curiously. She had to learn a lot about her. She could bet Colton would have installed everything feature in her.
“Everything,” Dotty replied in her robotic tone.
‘Well, I can bet all my money that she can’t fuck.’ Theodore mind linked her, on which Liara’s eyes widened, and she slapped his arms.
