Chapter 4

I was back in my room. My own room

I glanced down at myself.I was in my fairy night gown my old fairy night gown.

I haven't worn this since I was 7. I got our of bed.The cold floor greeted my feet. I yelped and quickly slipped my feet into my slippers.

I could hear sounds.Hushed arguments.

I opened my bedroom door and followed the sounds.I arrived in mom and dad's room. They were in a heated argument with another figure.I hid behind the door out of sight.

I eyed the figure, the figure was dressed in a cloke.

"She's too young we can't send her over to you guys ." Said my mom.

"She is very important for our survival, you know that.They will come after after her she needs to be with us.We can train her help her be ready."said the figure. His was was soft yet commanding.

Dad aims a finger at the figure. A flame shots out his finger. The figure dodged it. The figure lifts his hand and a wave of water erupted from it. It was sent straight to mom and dad.

"Enough." Mom shouted.

The scream was piercing and she lit up, her eyes turned orange.A glowing orange light surrounded her.

She glanced at both dad and the figure. Warning them.

I gasped.

She looked so pretty yet so scary at the same time.

"No fighting in this house you're scaring Tehilla."She said.

They knew I was there.

They glanced my direction. I wrapped my arms around my body.Mom returned to normal and gestured for me to walk over.

I took slow steps towards her. When I reached her she carried me in her arms and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

She smiled. I glanced over at dad he smiled.

"Sorry for waking you up bubby." He said.

I looked at the figure.

I expected him to have a mean threatening scary face. Instead he had the most gorgeous face.

He eyes were royal purple and kind. Like jewels they shone.He had a fluffy beard,it was brown it reminded me of Santa Claus.

He had a scar next to his left eye it was shaped like a deer.

I marveled at it.

What caught my attention was a gorgeous red ruby that hung across his neck. I reached out to touch it but I stopped myself. Unsure of whether it was okey.

His lips curled up into a smile. It was a warm and beautiful smile.

"It's okey you can touch it Tehilla." He said.

I looked at mom she smiled in encouragement. I stretched out my arms and cupped it in my palms.

It glowed immediately I came into contact with it.

"Wow." I said.

The figure chuckled. "I don't think I've introduced myself have I? My name is Angrid at your service." He said.

He stretched out a hand in greeting.

I took his hand "Tehilla at your service." I said back.

We both chuckled.

"What might I owe you this visit." I said.

I smiled. "To see you of course,but nows not the time yet."he said.

He gestured at the ruby. "You see this one day you'll have it." He said.

"Tehilla Angrid is your guardian , one day you two will properly introduce yourselves and you'll have time to chat about everything." Dad said.

"Now it's time for bed time Tehilla pleasure meeting you ,till we meet again." Angrid said

He placed his palm on my forehead. His palm felt warm. I felt me eyes heavy and I sunk into slumber.

My eyes darted open. I was back to reality. I clutched my forehead, that didn't feel like a dream.

That was a memory. I was now even more confused than ever. I was in a bed. I looked around the room. It wasn't my room sadly. Eveything seemed foreign. Last I remember I was in a forest and I passed out.

The events came back to me. Where was the guy I encountered earlier. Was he dangerous ? Was I going to be killed? What was happening? Eveything that had happened in the last hours has been hectic.

I didn't know what was happening with me and the world. Weird creatures were moving around eating people. My parents.......

My parents........ I didn't know where they were. I couldn't remember where they were. All I remember is that some things attacked us then.....

My mind was blank. I clutched my head and tried to remember.

Why can't I remember what happened! My head hurt. I groaned.

I heard sounds in the corner.

"I see you're awake." A voice said.

That voice. I've heard that voice before, a long time ago.

The guy I encountered in the woods/forest stepped into view. This time I could see him properly. Strange how I never noticed him before.

Had he been here the whole time?

The first thing I noticed about him was his eyes. His eyes had an attractive colour. His eyes were familiar for some reason.

I felt safe in his eyes. One of his eyes was emerald green ,the other was a faded royal purple. My eyes scanned the rest of him. Tall ,lean and reserved. Reserved and closed off to anyone that he didn't wish to please.

His hair was styled in messy silver locks. His hair once used to be brown when he was younger.

How did I know that?I did I know his hair used to be brown. I scanned his hair and no brown root showed so it would be impossible to assume that on first encounter.

Why am I getting nostalgic over someone I just met ? What's going on ?

He has a tattoo on the nape of his neck. A moon tattoo. I also have a tattoo a star. The moon and the star. We got them together.

I feel my mind slowly being replaced being new memories , and the ones I thought were real feel foreign now.

I rubed my neck where my star tattoo lied.

I don't know what's going on. I feel confused and scared.

"Where am I before I kill you." I said.

I knew damn well I wasn't going to kill him ,I didn't even know who the hell I was. Plus every atom in my body recognized this person, and I could never hurt him. It felt like I'd rather burn than do so.

Strange how I feel these strong emotions about this "stranger". I don't even remember his name but my tongue loved saying it. I feel all these new odd tendencies about this guy.

"Good to know you're still not the morning person." He mocked.

I rolled my eyes.I rolled my eyes like it was natural to do to him ,it felt like a usual exchange of body language. He's talking to me like a person that found a lost friend not a stranger.

I stood up abruptly.My body ached a bit.I groaned.

He chuckled. I was irritated that he was laughing but his laughter felt like music to my ears.

I hated how my body knew things my brain was trying to remember. I want to remember why his laughter always felt like music to my ears.

"Easy there tiger, your body is still adjusting to your abilities ,after keeping them in hibernation for so long." He said.

Abilities? What abilities?

"You kidnapped me and yet you're not answering my questions." I stated mildly irritated.

For now I'll play the game good cop /bad cop. I'll ask questions until I remember and I'll be cautious around this "familiar" person.

He smirked.

"You're asking the wrong person." He said.

With much struggle I fold my hands.

"Then who should I be asking."

He started walking away from me. He stopped at the door.

"Follow me. " He said before stepping out. I started to follow him.

What the hell is going on?
