"Emma, I am exhausted. Can I ride your bicycle for a while?" says Lily. Emma narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, sure, why don't you hit mine too on a car?" Says Emma sarcastically.

"Hey!!! I didn't do it on purpose. The car just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and I could not stop my bicycle. It was entirely the fault of the driver. Will you just let go of that topic? Luna, why don't you tell her!" Said Lily defending herself.

"Emma, you should give her your bicycle. Just for a little while maybe?" Said Luna.

"Seriously Luna? I am your eldest sister, and you are taking her side ??"remarked Emma.

"she is not taking my side, she just really cares about me. And FYI it's the first time ever, I have done something like this! And you can't even give your bicycle for a little while?!!" Says Lily.

"Just stop it Both of you!!! Anyways, how was your last day ?" Asked Luna, changing the topic.

"it was fine..except for the exam part. It was the best!" replied lily.

"It was great, including the exam part! How was your day?" questioned Emma .

"It was good, nothing special."

Luna and lily are sitting on their bed, and are busy packing for their vacation in granny's house in Berbia. Lily has packed more books than clothes in her bag. Her every thing is well organised. Luna on the other hand has Stuffed so many things in her bag, but Mostly video games. She sits on the top her bag, and presses the bag, trying to close it. While Emma is chilling on the couch. Bits of snacks Scattered on her clothes. A cold drink In one hand and the other hand of her phone. She is busy playing games. Lily makes a weird face, disgusted by her sisters.

"Books to read when I am sad, or happy." Whispers Lily while putting some books in her bag. "A mosquito repellent... and a lighter for emergencies.... and a torch.." says Lily while continuing to keep things in the bag.

"Lily, you do realise that we are not going there for forever right? I don't think, you will need all things. But do keep the mosquito repellent! There was a big need of it the last time." says Luna.

"Ok Fine!!" says Lily. She notices, that Emma has not packed her bag yet.

"Looks like, someone has already finished her packing!" says Lily.

"who? I haven't, and seems like even you haven't" says Luna pointing to the huge pile of books, which are supposed to be packed in lily's bag.

"OMS Luna! I was being sarcastic."

"Oh, you are talking about Emma! And what's 'OMS' ?" Asked Luna.

"Obviously, it stands for 'oh my science!"

"Game Over!" flashes on Emma's phone. She throws her phone aside and sighs.

"Fine, I'll pack!!" Says Emma, but, is stopped by continuous beeping of messages. She takes a look over the phone.

"It seems like, our friends our coming to meet us!!!"says Emma.

"who exactly are coming?" Asks lily.

"Are Rose and Neville coming" Questioned Luna.

"ha ha, very funny! I was not going to sing a song, I wanted to say something important." Said Luna controlling her anger.

"Well, as I have known my sisters for 13 years, I am sure, that they haven't told you yet, that we Miller sisters, and our parents are going to Berbia for vacations. I have already told rose and Neville about it. Any queries? If not, you may continue your meet." Saying this, Luna sits on her bin bag.

"Lily Garcia-Miller! How dare you didn't told me!!" Said Ivy.

"Luna, have you heard about the mysteries and legends of the Berbian Island?" Asks Emma.

"No, never heard of them. Lily, do you know any?" Replies Luna while looking at Lily, who is already dozed off.

"Well, it seems, she doesn't." Giggles Emma.

"The legend is, that in the dark woods of Akrabuma forest.." Emma Stopped suddenly.

"Luna, but won't you get scared by this petrifying story?" asked Emma.

"Scared? Me? I am not you Emma!" Replies Luna.

"Ok, then I'll continue. So, in the dark woods of Akrabuma forest, there is a spirit of a young boy, who is haunting the Berbian Island for more than 1000 of years. His name is 'Sin Annihilator' ." continues Emma.

"How is he exactly haunting ? Is he killing the people entering the aku- bomba forest?" asked Luna.

"It's Akrabuma and No, its worst than that. Every new moon, he selects 3 people, the ones who have committed the most sins. He drags them into the forest and punishes them gravely." Replies Emma.

"Woah! Cool story! I would really like to meet him. By the way, what kind of punishment does he give?" Asked Luna.

"No one knows it. But, it has to be a severe one, because the people never return. Wow, this story is making me scared." says Emma completing the story.

"Emma, are you putting weird stuff in her mind again ?"says Granny with a stiffened face.

"How can you do this Emma?" Adds lily smiling at Emma.

"Well, as she is going to a new place, it is necessary for her to know certain basic information, related to that place. And, I her great elder sister, was just helping her. Further, she said that she won't get scared." Replied Emma.

Grandma sighs. "Of course not Luna!! It's just a myth." Says granny to Luna.

"By the way, what is the legend ?"asks lily. Luna narrates the story of Sin Annihilator. Lily bursts into laughter after hearing it.

"Luna, you get my guaranty and warranty that it is just a myth."

It's midnight, Luna is sneaking out to the beach, with her surfing board.

"Looks like, someone got the permit to go to the beach!" Says a voice behind her.

Luna, who is halfway through the door, stops, and slowly turns around.

"Please don't be Lily... anyone else in the world, but not lily..." whispers Luna as she turns around.

"And it's her! What are you doing here in the hall ??"says Luna.

"Well, there are some damages in my room. And Emma didn't allow me to sleep in her room."

"You know right, that Mom never allows me to surf alone? I just want to do surfing, with no one behind me yelling! Please don't tell anyone! Why don't you just pretend that you didn't see me?"

"But, I saw you and nothing is free on earth!"

"Ok, fine! What do you want?"

"From now on, your bicycle will be not just YOURS, it will be OURS!!"

"Deal?" scoffs Luna.

Everyone is sitting for their breakfast. Luna arrives. Her clothes and hair are wet. Everyone starts interrogating her.

"Why are you so late?" Asked parents.

"Why are you wet? And where were you? Lily, do you know anything?" asks Emma. Lily pretends to not hear the question.

"Lily!!"says Emma. Lily speaks, while food stuffed in her mouth.

"What? Speak clearly." Says granny.

"first, finish the food in your mouth" orders Emma. Lily finishes the food, and starts to speak, before taking a look at Luna.

"well....I....Luna...Luna went for surfing in midnight, without informing anyone!! And she bribed me, with a bicycle!!"says lily. Emma sighs.

"The little girl bribed you? With a bicycle? You are her elder sister. You should act maturely. She is innocent, she doesn't know the difference between wrong and right. But you!! I didn't expect it from you." Says Emma.

Everyone decides to punish both of them, while Emma laughs by covering her mouth. Emily sees Emma while doing so.

"Emma! This is a serious matter. Anything could have been happened to Luna. This area is not familiar to her, and nor is safe! You are the eldest sister!! You should be aware, of what your sisters are doing. Lily is younger than you. She doesn't know the difference between wrong and right. But you are mature, and you are still laughing at this serious matter? You will be punished As well!" says Emily.

"But...it's their mistake..why am I -" Emma is interrupted by Emily. She says "no 'but' I have already decided!" Lily and Luna hide their laughter from Emily as they heard this, they are unaware of the drastic changes, that are going to take place, in their life..
