Purple Dawn Till Dusk : Dearest Through The Time Chapter 5

"Are you okay?" There was a trace of distress in his voice that indicated he was greatly concerned.
Senja nodded vigorously, "But, my ankle bumped into a table and it hurts."
He scrunched up his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "Can you walk?"
"Yes,yes,yes… no problem."
Finally, Sian's stiff face softened. In thenext second, he glared furiously at his sister.
"Rock head, we warned you to retreat, why didn't you listen?"
"I tried to hypnotize him. It worked but Lee and Zhou ruined it!" Senja huffed.
"Stop it with this hypnosis thing!" Sian said incredulously.
"Both of you, there are more people coming your way. Take the freight elevator on your left near the emergency stairs. I will shut down three floors' light after that. Zhou, move to the south gate and pick them up there," He instructed his brothers and sister while his hands were typing like crazy on the keyboard.
"Got it," the three siblings replied.
***
Late at night.
Senja put a face mask on her face and grabbed a book that Sian bought for her, from her bedside. She strode out of her bedroom to the living room and fed her turtle in the aquarium, her white snake inside a big transparent jar, and finally after she was satisfied looking at her black wolf cub in his box at the corner of the room, she laid down on the sofa.
She loved animals and wanted to be a vet. Unfortunately, she was barely able to focus on her college before she decided to drop her classes mid semester, due to boredom.
Earlier this morning, two days after their last mission at the hospital, her three brothers got a mission out of the Country. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to participate because of the dispute last time.

Lee still thought that she disobeyed his command. No matter how hard she tried to explain that it would have run smoothly if they didn't interrupt her in the last minute, he still didn't believe her.
Lee scolded her like there was no tomorrow and Zhou just keep silent, he made his existence as low as possible.
When Senja almost broke down crying, Sian grabbed Lee's shoulder and with an ignorant smile, he dragged him away to the bar.
He rubbed Senja's head when he walked pass her and didn't say anything, nor scold her when he came back with Lee. He even bought her a book about hypnosis.
And spoke in a teasing voice, "You should fill your empty head with something good sometimes," His intention was clear, even though he always quarreled with her but, he was also the first person who would always back her up.
Senja tied her hair into a simple bun. Because of her fickle personality, she can't stand a stagnant appearance. She tends to change her style depending on her mood, therefore this afternoon she dyed her hair into a bright grape purple color. She could already imagine how Sian would complain about her new appearance.
She chuckled when she imagined Sian's furious expression while he nagged at her. In the worst case, maybe he would drag her to a saloon to change her hair color back. It happened three months ago when she had colored her hair yellow.
He had gone mad when he saw that yellow color.
Ding dong
Senja frowned when she heard the doorbell, subconsciously she glanced at the clock on the wall that indicated it wasalmost midnight.
Because there wasn't any reply from Senja, the guest rang the bell one more time.
Who would come in this late hour?

I am using this short story collection as a way to test the waters before I seriously consider publishing a novel. As English isn't my mother tongue, I would appreciate it if native speakers, anglicists or any other proficient users of the English language could kindly inform me about any mistakes in grammar or word choice so that I may correct it. The same applies to any sentence or paragraph that may sound unnatural in English.
