After her secret meeting with her older brother, Malia went back to the penthouse of Melody with her unconscious brother.

"Where should I put him, Boss?" one of the hunters accompanying Malia asked her.

​​

"Just put him in one of the guest rooms." Malia's reply.

"If Melody looks for me tell her, I am in the training room." Added by Malia.

Making her way to the training room for a training session.

…

…

[-Training Room-]

Within the building of the hotel owned by Vitre Family, where the penthouse of Melody is located.

A training room designed for Malia's powers was installed.

Just a floor below the penthouse of Melody.

An entire floor of the building designed for her personal training.

Not just for her hunting skills and combat skills.

But for her magic powers as well.

Time to time, Malia had to sweat it out and practice her battle spells.

Learning to control the intensity of her magic.

Trying her best not to let it control her.

She could not explain how but knowing that she could access all elemental powers.

It makes her want to explore more of her abilities.

One element after another.

Executing different battle spells and elemental attack fusing it together to make it more powerful.

Lightning!

Wind!

Light!

Fire!

Water!

And Earth!

Earth magic was the easiest element to control for her.

While -Water Magic- was the most difficult to master with.

Due to required calmness and sound mind it needs from Malia.

Since a lot of things was troubling Malia, her mind was currently being distracted by all of the things she was recently dealing with.

Missing a target while using water element attacks.

She took a break and leaned against the wall.

Moments after …

…

…

Suddenly the speaker within the training room was activated.

Melody's voice resonated within the training room.

No one was allowed to enter while Malia was currently on a training session.

"WHO IS THIS GUY? WHY IS THERE A GUY IN OUR GUEST ROOM?" Melody curiously asked and her tone was evidently transparent of her dissatisfaction.

She added, "I NEED AN EXPLANATION! WHY AM I NOT BEING BRIEFED WITH A LOT OF THINGS?"

'Oh my, here we go with miss drama queen!' Malia uttered in her breath as she sighed in frustration after hearing Melody's complain.

Even though she was not yet done with her training session, Malia left the training room to go and explain to Melody the situation.

Unaware of the plans and intention of President Tony for a massive raid.

Malia had to clarify and explain to Melody regarding the things which were going on around her.

As the elevator opened, Malia saw Melody waiting for her.

Crossing her arms as she stood few meters away from the doors of the elevator.

Immediately, Malia knew that Melody would complain and nag her like a baby.

"Oh, please Melody! Not everything should go accordingly to how you want it to be." Malia's statement towards Melody while walking her way to the guest room.

Following her like a shadow, Melody kept nagging Malia with different questions and complaints.

"Why are you bringing this guy here?"

"What are you planning with father behind my back that I am not aware of?"

"And tell me … why the hell Booth and Ben has to detain Elle, the seer, in the hospital?"

"Really! What's going on around here? I know I already mentioned before that I do not like hunter stuff because it does not interest me at all. But it doesn't mean that it's okay to exclude me!"

Some of the questions and complaints of Melody.

As if she was already protesting with how she was being treated around.

Upon entering the guest room.

Malia saw different sharp blades stringing around the room pointed at her unconscious older brother.

In one pull from a trigger everything will be shot towards Lucas.

Set up by Melody when she arrived and felt suspicious of the man.

"So immature of you, Melody! Why would you do such a thing?" Malia pointed out towards Melody who was standing behind her.

"Look! Since you did not inform me beforehand. What do you expect? Of course, I have to make sure of our safety. I get some threatening vibes from him." Melody's sarcastic explanation.

"I know you better! You just want to mock at the situation where you are not informed with things going on around you. I thought we made it clear to you that there are things we can tell you and things we can't. You are mostly surrounded by humans. We cannot risk the confidential information to be leaked. Especially with highly classified information." Malia explained.

"So in other words … I cannot be trusted, is that it?" Melody's retort.

"I do not mean it that way! Do not put words into my mouth which is not meant that way. It's more of … you are not in any ways involved with it. AND we prefer to keep you away with the things that may risk your safety and status as a celebrity. Your involvement may create some complications. Once you get entangled with it. How will you act around humans when there is killing and death involved? Hmm?" Malia asked Melody.

Silence was Melody's only reply.

Then she started to realize the value of not being included in some plans.

"Who is he anyways? I want to be annoyed but somehow I feel some sympathy looking at him."

Right away, Malia responded.

"That's Lucas."

"Lucas as in the one claiming to be your older brother!" Melody exclaimed.

"Yes! And I want you to look after him while we do the hunters raid. If he starts waking up, just use your voice to enchant him. Keep him asleep until I get back! He is powerful … so he must remain unconscious. Do not forget that!" Malia reiterated to Melody the importance of keeping Lucas unconscious.

"Fine! I will not forget …"

"Elle is in the hospital because they found a poisonous substance in her system. Ben and Freddie are making sure of her safety while Booth will join me for the raid." Malia last words to Melody before leaving her in the guest room with her older brother.

She returned, remembering something.

"Please! For the love of God … Take down those dangerous and sharp blades you set up. And behave while we are gone. Even for once!" Malia reminded Melody as she walks away.

"NO PROMISES!!!" Melody's loud response.
