Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain-Chapter 17 Amelia Blake Or ???

While Rio was sleeping peacefully and enjoying Artemis's lap pillow, there was someone who was currently rolling around on her soft bed.

The 8 year old girl had messy black hair which were now covering half her face , there were drool marks near her lips and she looked funny Or maybe cute - depends on the one looking at it.

Despite all her movement she still had her eyes closed and refused to open them.

Seemingly looking for something with her small hands flying around that touched every corner of her bed, Amelia wore a frown on her face.

When she didn't find what she was looking for on this side, she decided to roll over to the other side and then _

THUUUP

With a muffled sound - She fell down the bed.

Amelia opened her eyes and looked around confused by her surroundings.

She had a habit of moving around in her sleep.

So one day when she fell down from her bed and was crying, her brother helped her sleep and the next day he gave her a big soft teddy bear.

["here as long as you hold Mr Bear, he won't let you fall"]

She still remembered how her brother praised it as a big expensive gift and took all her savings in exchange.

Later when she found out the truth of her brother's trickery and complained to her mother.

Even she took part in his little scheme to loot her money and said - "We'll buy you a new birthday gift from your money."

At first I was happy when she told me about a gift, till I understood that they were going to use my own money for that.

" Meanie both of them "

Just remembering that banter had brought a pout on her face which made her look even more cuter.

She stood up and massaged her butt which still hurt.

She looked around and found the teddy lying on the sofa near the window where she usually places it after waking up.

She was wondering why she didn't sleep while holding it or why her brother didn't put it on her bed like everyday.

It was only after she thought about that, that she remembered that yesterday night she was sleeping on her brother's bed with him but now she was in her own room.

She opened the big door that was massive compared to her little size. And started running towards her brother's room.

Amelia was worried about her brother, when she remembered how he suddenly fell unconscious yesterday while playing outside and how the big priest uncle said that he had a nightmare that's why he was crying in his sleep.

She was feeling angry at herself for forgetting about her brother and worrying over a teddy bear.

"How can anything else be more important than her big brother?"

(Mama said big brother will wake up in the morning. I'm sure he'll be worried about me when he doesn't see me near him. He's always with me when I have a nightmare.)

She thought and increased her speed.

She was currently standing outside another big door , but gladly this time there was someone standing outside who opened the door for her. Without saying anything - she ran inside.

And what she saw left her standing on the gate like a statue.

Currently Rio was lying on mama's laps while she was telling him the story of her adventures in the guild.

Rio had his eyes closed but he was humming in between the story as acknowledgement to her mother that he was listening closely.

Watching them enjoying their time while she ran all the way here , thinking that her brother might be worried about her - Amelia felt like being betrayed & crying. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Amelia pointed her finger at the mother-son pair and shouted - " You _you"

but then no new words came out of her mouth as she was still breathing loudly while panting. she put her hands on knees and started taking deep breaths while still glaring at the duo.

** 3rd POV

Hearing the shout and seeing that Artemis stopped her story , Rio opened his eyes and turned around to see the culprit - who came to destroy his peaceful rest while enjoying the head massage and the fantasy story.

He was ready to shout at whoever it was. But when he turned around he had his eyes widened , staring at the girl standing in front of him.

She was small, a kid no longer than 4'2". She was wearing a pink frock . She had black hair which were super messy right now . While her big black eyes were glaring daggers at him with anger.

Seeing her both kids just glaring at each other without saying anything.

Artemis tried to break the staring contest between them by speaking to her daughter first.

It was purely because Amelia was a kid and easy to coax. And not because she enjoyed teasing this cute little doll everyday by teaming up with Rio.

"So you woke up Amy. Why'd you come here looking like a ghost. " Artemis spoke , trying her best to control her laugh as she saw the fuming expression that formed on her daughter's face listening to her teasing words.

Amelia stood up straight and glared at her mother - "Good, good. You both are enjoying here , while I ran all the way thinking that someone would be worried about me. "

Artemis sighed and said - "Why would anyone worry for you. You were only sleeping. I thought you would sleep till noon today since your brother didn't go to wake you up. "

" Why would I sleep till noon. I'm not lazy like an idiot - who slept full yesterday ." Amelia said and started walking towards a sofa and sat there.

"And you even threw me in my room and stayed with brother." Amelia complained.

"You were kicking your brother in sleep so I put you on your bed " Artemis replied.

Amelia moved around the sofa to adjust herself properly as her bum still hurts a little from the fall in the morning.

Looking at her daughter's cute antics Artemis realised the full truth at why she was so angry and finally couldn't hold herself back and burst out laughing.

" hahahahaha "

"You fell on your back again, didn't you" Artemis asked while wiping the tear that came in her eyes by laughing so hard.

Amelia just stared Dumbfounded at her mama and couldn't believe her eyes.

( how can this woman laugh so hard while her daughter's still in pain and can't even sit properly.)

It wasn't Artemis's fault as last night her mind was far too occupied with Rio's safety and finding the traitor - that she forgot to give her daughter her toy.

She wanted to apologize for her mistake but one look at that red pouting face of her cute little daughter which was burning in anger - she felt like this was much better and didn't say anything.

While both mother and daughter were bickering with each other, Rio was still staring at Amelia with wide eyes and an unbelievable expression.

His mind was a mess and thoughts were running around unstoppable

( how can it be

(She _she's here

( did she reincarnate too

( is it possible

( does she remember me

He was lost in his thoughts , staring at Amelia.

When she noticed his gaze, she came near him to shout at him too - For forgetting all about her while enjoying mama's lap pillow.

Amelia came in front of him and said in a loud tone - " What you forgot about me cause you got mama to tell you stories today huh. Let me tell you that only I _ . "

Amelia was still speaking when her words were cut short as Rio hugged her tightly in his arms and said in a serious tone

"Never. I would never forget you. "

Listening to her brother's genuine words and seeing how he hugged her , Amelia little surprised still smiled and hugged him back, happy that her mother hasn't stolen her brother from her.

Artemis too was surprised to see Rio hugging Amelia at first like that suddenly but seeing his moist eyes that were almost crying , she thought that he must be still scared by the curse as he cried while hugging her too.

Amelia was planning to give her mother a grinning look and boast as how Rio chose to side with her today , but her happiness was short lived as his next words shocked both mother and daughter .

" little Ria. "

A/N :- Sorry about the delay. That IPL match was there so I couldn't get the time.

But here you go.
