Theo analyzed his status and it was basically what e was expecting.
'System, what're the normal attributes of someone of my age?'
[The average result is 10]
'So, basically, my body is weak and I am intelligent. And I am more the average looking. I can work with that.' he thought.
Theo looked at the clock and it was almost time for Aurora to get home. He looked at himself and he was disgusting of all the sweat he transpired in these hours after the predecessor died and he crossed over.
He stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower before Aurora got home.
As he was in the bathroom, he heard the front door opening and that was probably his sister so he finished his shower and dressed in the bathroom, and got out with his hair still wet.
When Theo exited the bathroom, he saw a young girl with silver hair and mesmerizing purple eyes that although it was sickly thin, but she was a beauty nonetheless.
She was healthier than he was and it was when he realized the determination of his predecessor in taking care of his sister. He would rather starve than let her starve.
And he found even more determination in making Aurora live the life of a princess.
She was on the couch watching TV when she saw her brother exit the bathroom. She saw that her brother was looking better today than yesterday when she felt afraid that her brother would collapse. He was staring at her like it was the first time and she felt her heart jump.
"Hey, sis how are you? I am gonna make dinner, wait half an hour and we can eat" He asked her as he looked at her.
"Thanks, bro, I am okay. I'm just a little tired after studying all day" she said as she watched him going into the corner of the room where it had a mini kitchen where they cooked their meals.
'Thank god still has some leftovers this month so that I and Aurora can eat for a couple more days. But after that, I have to make more money' he thought as he was cooking.
After half an hour of cooking a simple meal, Theo called Aurora and he had a hearty meal with a sister that Theo never had the pleasure to have in his past life. During the meal, Theo was so emotional that he started tearing up.
It was his first meal with his sister and it was only a little bit of food but she ate like it was better food in the world.
Aurora noticed him crying, she came behind my chair and hug him from behind.
"Sis, I am sorry for not doing enough and making you eat so little" Theo said in the middle of sobs.
"Big Brother, never say that again!!!" She said angrily while crying too.
"Big brother, I know everything you do for me and I couldn't ask for a better brother, so please don't say that again." She cried.
"Sister, I promise our lives will be better from now on. We will be rich. Thank you for being with me all these difficult times" he said with determination.
"Theo, I never doubted you" she said smiling.
They hugged for a few more minutes and they disengaged to clean the dishes. After they cleaned, Aurora went for the only private bedroom of the 2-bedroom apartment, that I gave her cause girls need privacy, to study. And he took a futon and put it on the front of the tv as he drifted to sleep.
Today was a crazy day and he was exhausted.
