6 Abrupt Change and Family (1/2)

A red SUV can be seen speeding along a rocky trail surrounded by woods.

”Fuck this! Gaia screwed me over! Ahhh!!” Leo was seething in anger as he sped towards the highway.

Leo took out his phone and dialed his sister's number.

Tu ru rut ~ tu ru rut~

”I'm gonna kick your first ass if this is not important. I got kicked out in the middle of class because of your sudden call. If this is a prank. I'm gonna kill you” his sister's angry voice sounded.

”Sorry about that Aria but what I'm about to to say is very important so you need to listen well” said Leo in a very serious tone.

Hearing his brother's serious voice, Aria turned silent.

”Okay, what is it?” Aria said in an inquiring tone.

Leo took a deep breath and said ” You need to leave your school and go to the supermarket and buy a lot of food especially canned foods which last longer and get a lot of bottled water, the biggest ones and make sure to buy a lot of rice too, like a lot of it. We're gonna need a lot food, alright?” John said in one go.

After a few seconds of silence.

”Aria?”

”Are you still there, Aria?”

”Is this a prank? Cause if it is, You're DEAD!!!” Aria's angered voice sounded from the phone that even Leo grimaced and got annoyed this time.

”SHUT UP!! JUST DO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU TO DO!!..... sorry about that. I got carried away, I'm already on my way there so we'll see each other at home. I love you. I'm hanging up” Leo shouted in anger but he realized that he got carried away and immediately apologize at the end. He even hurriedly hang up.

”He won't kill me if we see each other later, right?” Leo shuddered when he remembered that the former owner of this body never scolded his sister before this and always spoiled her instead and he was the one that always gets pranked by her.

”How overprotective”

Inside Sheffield University, Aria was standing dumbfounded as she looked at her phone.

”He had never raised his voice at me before” Aria released a sigh as she started walking towards the parking lot.

”If he's finally getting back at me from those pranks i did to him before, I will make him pay me double, no triple on the groceries if he's messing around this time” Aria said as she got on her car and drove off outside the campus and headed towards the supermarket.

As Aria did what she was told to, Leo in the other hand was speeding along the highway as he headed towards Sheffield.

”How will I convince them that the era of peace is coming to an end and will turn chaotic in 3 days” Leo pondered on how to properly tell his family that the world will face an Apocalypse and not look like an insane person instead.

”I'll worry about it when I get there” Leo sighed to himself.

”I would still be depressed and sulking in a corner about this sudden changed cause by that shitty person. Good thing the compensation made my mood a little bit better” Leo smiled as he accessed his Inventory and took out the Item that the system had given him as a compensation.

[Teleportation Stone - throw it on the ground and a portal directly linked to your territory will appear. Maximum of 10 people to transfer once a day. Usage: 5/5]

”No matter how good this Item is, its still a consumable item. The only good thing is, I don't have to worry about how I'll get back here when I rescue Amanda and the rest” Leo had a bitter smile as he tried to console himself with that thought.

After over half an hour of driving. He finally reached his destination.

”I'm here, *Gulp* ” Leo swallowed out of nervousness.

Leo got out of his car and he immediately saw both his parents and sister standing in front of the doorway looking at him.

”Hey there parents, I mean mom and dad and...sister” Leo smiled and waved as he opened their gate and walked towards them as he gave both his parents a hug and when it was his sister's turn, he hugged her awkwardly.

”Come inside” said Leo's mother in a heavy tone as she motioned him with her finger.

Both Leo and Aria followed but Leo saw that his dad instead went and sat down on his chair in front of their house as he gave a Leo a helpless smile.

”This old man, you always makes yourself tough in front of the neighbors but you immediately turns timid in front of mom. Dammit, it probably runs in the family. I really pity the previous owner of this body, I wonder how he survived this” Leo cursed when he saw his dad didn't follow them inside.

The three of them reached the kitchen as her mother looks at him menacingly while her sister has that smile that looks like she's laughing at him.

”Care to explain all this? You made your sister cut classes and made her buy this groceries and a lot of them” Leo's mother said it all calmly.

”She's really angry this time when she talks calmly like that” Leo realized his mother is really angry and it made his back covered in cold sweat because he saw that the entire kitchen is filled with groceries.

”I can ex-” Leo wanted to explain but his mother cut him off.

”You should know that Aria is already in her Senior year and she needs to save money for her College and this happened. She spent almost all her money on this, you know”

”Still, it's a good thing she bought a lot even though I'm now being scolded by it. It's worth it” Leo thought within his mind when he saw how packed the kitchen was.

”Leo, are you listening to me?”

”Ahh, yes mom” Leo was jolted.

”Geez, this son of mine. I'm really not angry that he made Aria buy all this because both his dad and I didn't have time to buy groceries on how busy we are at the hospital this time and it's not like we can't pay for Aria's College fees but I didn't expect he'd make her buy all this though but it's your fault, you never came home for over a year now and this is what you do when you finally decided to come by. Let's see how you explain your way out this time” Mother smiled when she realized that her son was starting to really get scared of her.
