"Joan, why are you so furious? Have you forgotten that I am a vampire…,"
"How could I forget that huh?" Joanna retorted. She pushed his hand away with the clothes he used to shield her nose from the smoke.
"You are only a vampire but not omnipotent as far as I can recall so why are you acting like you are indestructible?" Joanna yelled. At that moment she couldn't control her temper.
"Why are you so….,"
"Come, let's leave here," Joanna held his hand and pulled him to the cooker which was still on with a smoky pot on top of it.
She went around the kitchen turning off all the appliances that Amos and Anthony had switched on.
Joanna went further to drag him to the sitting room afterwards.
Arriving at the sitting room Joanna was too preoccupied to notice that Anthony was still sitting where she had left him.
Amos gazes at the woman pacing about in front of him. He couldn't understand why she was so upset.
"Joan…,"
"Why did you remain in there when you saw that the kitchen was engulfed in smoke?" Joanna demanded when pacing about didn't ease her anger even the slightest bit.
"Because I wanted to prepare breakfast for you…,"
"You wanted to prepare breakfast for me in a kitchen engulfed in smoke?" She yelled. "You don't even eat food so what breakfast are you talking about? Are you a fool or what?" She shouted.
By the time she finished scolding him her eyes were already misty.
"Big Sis, why are you so mad at Brother Amos…," Anthony choked on his words the instant Joanna shot him a deadly glare.
Joanna stomped to where Anthony now stood. In a feat of anger, she bent and grabbed his shoulders.
"I recall warning you guys not to touch anything in the kitchen after I left so tell me, did you ask him to touch the things huh? Was it your idea?" She demanded sternly.
At that moment she was too furious to think straight.
She lost her mind the instant she walked into the kitchen and saw it engulfed in smoke.
The thought of losing the two men she loves the most in her life terrified her so much and made her lose her mind.
Her fears made her momentarily forget that at the moment between the three of them she was the weakest and the one who has the highest chance of dying if something bad were to happen.
Love sure makes people foolish and selfless at the same time.
"I know how naughty you can be…,"
"It was all my idea. If anyone should be scolded it should be me so let him go," Amos ran to Anthony's rescue before the furious lady could spank him.
He pulled him away from Joanna and hid the little boy behind him.
"I learned that preparing breakfast for your woman was something men who are in a relationship do for their lover. I must have been out of my mind to think that I would be able to prepare you a proper breakfast when I haven't cooked anything all my life," Amos said.
His voice was as still as water. He was the opposite of the furious lady in front of him.
Joanna shook her head and squatted defeatedly.
"I should have known that leaving the two of you in the kitchen would be a total disaster. It's my fault for not throwing the two of you out of the kitchen…,"
"You did nothing wrong so stop blaming yourself," He replied and reached out his hand to hold her but she brushed his hand away.
She stood up, turned and stared at their faces without uttering a word.
Normally she would have smiled when she saw Anthony's pitiful expression but she was not in the mood to smile after what she went through.
"I wonder what I am gonna do with the two of you," She said. She spun and proceeded to the bedroom.
Anthony moved away from Amos back when she had left.
"Little man, your sister looked very mad this time around. What are we gonna do now to make her happy?" Amos muttered absentmindedly.
"I don't think tickling her will work this time around," Anthony replied with a fallen expression.
"You are right. Instead of making her laugh we are gonna be the ones in tears if we dare try to tickle her in this state," He responded with his hand on his chin.
They walked to the couch and sat down.
In the sitting room, Amos and Anthony sat discussing what to do to alleviate Joanna's anger with the hope that she would come out soon.
After almost an hour of waiting, they decided to check up on her after laying out a plan.
Amos knocked on the bedroom door for the third time and waited but no response came.
"We are coming in," He informed and pushed the door open after waiting for a few seconds.
"Are you still angry at us?" Amos asked his gaze glued on the lady sitting on the bed gazing at the window.
He and Anthony invited themselves in when she still refused to talk to them.
Slowly, the two of them strolled to where she sat. They took their positions in front of her.
"We know we were wrong so please don't punish yourself by refusing to eat…," He paused when his eyes met her piercing glares.
"Big Sis always says that breakfast is the most important meal and that no one should ever miss breakfast so why are you going back on your words?" Anthony asked.
His fear dared not make him look Joanna in the eyes as he spoke but he lowered his gaze.
"I don't have the appetite…,"
"But how are you gonna take your drugs if you don't eat…,"
"Is taking drugs that important? Besides, my wounds had healed up," She replied without sparing them a glance.
Realising that their first plan had failed Amos secretly winked at Anthony to execute their second plan.
"Big Sis, I am starving," Anthony informed as he rubbed his stomach. Luck seemed to be on their side because his stomach rumbled the instant he completed his words.
