2. HUMANS

Chapter 2

Hues of sunlight fell on earth waking up people and pushing them to start with their days.

A relief of sigh escaped her lips when she realized that she can't keep an eye contact with the huge shining ball. Smiling she stood there caressing her arms as wind touched her lightly making her relax at the feathery touch. It felt good to be back on earth for her mission. She was yet to come around the age but she took an oath and was positive on herself.

Standing on the highest peak in the woods she sighed. Her deep blue eyes shining with gratitude as she thanked the mother nature with wide smile on her for making her see the amzing morning again.

Angelina's POV

Morning. I love morning, cause they smell magical. I heard shuffling and turned around to be met with him. His eyebrows rose demanding an answer.

"Was I aumm," I stuttered seeing him staring directly in my eyes.

"How many times should I tell you, that you are not allowed here?" He asked tilting his head, his skin shining in the sunlight.

"Umm, I was just taking a stroll. Trust me I never want to hurt you." I admitted taking a step back.

"Oh dear, it's not about hurting me, its all about you. You are a human and you shouldn't be here in the early morning." He stated. Only if he knew who am I. Haha some creatures on earth are scary. I should have known after coming here. But what a fate, haha. I should really go from here before this man do something.

"Tch. Tch. It seems like you are more interested in being a breakfast than living your life." Passing me a sarcastic remark he sneered.

I tried not to let out something unusual which will make me fall into the pit of struggle.

"No, I am just going back." Murmuring enough loud for him to hear, I sprinted away from him.

What a way to get yourself caught Angelina. What a way. I should be rewarded for this. Reaching in the middle of the woods I sat feeling exhausted. Really, I should eat more. But right now I need to go back before they catch me again and this time they will devour me like a feast. Closing my eyes I thought of my bed and whispered "invisibilia" and soon was teleported on my bed.

*knock knock*

Perfect timing.

"Angel wake up," she says as she opens the door and Eric follows after her. Such a mommy boy.

"Oh my girl! You are awake but not ready. Go and have a bath, till I take your clothes out." She rambles after watching me in my pjs shaking her head in denial. Why everyone here is so exaggerating.

"Listen here, you little gum bag. I can hear your thoughts. Quieten them down before I throw you out of here." She casually announced passing me small knowing smile. Aria always have to scare me like that.

"Sorry." I sighed biting my tongue and went for bath quickly as I know once the lectures start its going to take forever to end. Haahhh!.

After finishing my business I went down to see the little munchkin munching on chocolates and giggling as his aunt continues to scold him.

"Eric you are not going to eat chocolates anymore." Aria scolds Eric who is busy eating chocolate and ignoring her skillfully sitting on the middle of L-shaped sofa.

I laughed out loud when I saw Eric in that situation. He is looking so cute wearing that baby blue coloured onesie. And he has chocolate all over his mouth. He is looking so cute. Awe.

"Oh my baby you are looking so cute." I said and plopped beside him. Taking the tissues from Aria's hand I said,-

"Aria let me clean him."

"Okay, you clean him till then I will make the breakfast ready." Saying this she went in the kitchen to help.

"Oh my baby come lets clean you up." I beamed at him and starts cleaning his mouths and hands with wet wipes kept there.

"Breakfast is ready." Aria announced in the meantime making me rush towards the table.

Parting my hairs in two I braided them neatly and made a bun. Finishing up my hairstyle I stood and sauntered outside.

"Eric how am I looking?" I asked Eric who was playing with his stuff toy.

He saw me and started making kissing sounds with his pouts. Awee my baby is such a cutie.

"Angelina!" I heard Ariana calling me and went downstairs with Eric in my arms, giggling.

Life is so beautiful. And fair.

He relieved a sigh feeling cold air covering his throat making him take out his water bottle and chug down half of the bottle. Rustling caused by his own feet making him walk faster. "Not again," he whispered as he saw beam of light falling on his feet.

He wanted to see the rising sun just to prove he is fastest than it. But he forgot no one can beat the mother nature. Sighing he turned around to go but a stiletto caught his eyes. Something in him told him to follow it, and he followed reluctantly.

He saw her standing there and murmuring something making him more confuse. He can smell her blood. Why would be some one be here at this time. That too in pjs he thought. She walked a bit and turned around making him caught a little sight of her deep blue ocean eyes. Her smell of blood alluring to him.

He hide behind the tree to not get caught. But what he saw next caught him off guard. He saw her disappearing in to the golden mist in thin air. It felt like she was not there. She just disappeared into the thin air.

He went where she was standing just a moment ago and turned around several times trying to see where she disappeared.

"I am probably still in sleep," murmuring he rubbed his eyes till he can see everything in blur.

Sighing his gaze went towards a small narrow river flowing. Making fear grip his heart. He took a step back, beads of sweat forming on his pale skin. His beautiful features stood proudly on his face. His bun braids shining in the sunlight.

Xavier's POV

For the starters I hate morning and in the conclusion I hate morning. Just imagine forcing yourself to wake up every morning when you don't even have a single reason to just because you were born by someone whose face you haven't seen.

Truth to be told that huge shining ball in the sky always drains my energy, now a days. I even feel weak everytime coming in the daylight. But I don't know why. Ringing of my phone bring me back in the reality.

*ring ring*

Swiping the to call to answer I kept my phone on my left ear.

"BRO!"

"Its 6 am in the morning Leo. No need to be so loud." I yelled back to him as he just couldn't stop damaging my ears.

"You remember what's today?" I heard his voice with some shuffling in the background.

"Ofcourse, I know how to use this brain unlike you."

"Bro isn't this too much sarcasm for early in the morning." I can hear his frown and I can also imagine him making quotations sign in air. He is so fed up from my habit but c'mon I only got him, Mark and my dear granny for the rest of my life.

"And you think I will stop." Grinning I replied back tripping on the ground. A quit yelp escaped. And I laughed.

"Whatever just get your ass up and then we will rock. Ohhh I am so excited. Ehhh." In the end, he shrieked like a girl making me laugh. Hanging up the call I wandered around. Whatever, that girl's blood smelt heaven. A little taste will satisfy my thirst. Maybe.

"Hey, You young boy!" Someone called making me stop in my track.

I turned around just to meet with ground. Woah, that rhymes. Looking up I was met with a bulky and heavy men. His darkened blazing eyes is scaring me but I know how to run fast.

"Don't think too much boy. Just go to you home." He fumed. His eyes assessing my every move. His blood smells like piney scent. Hmm interesting.

"Boy, you are new here. I should advise you. This forest is not good specially for humans like you." He suggested shifting his weight on another foot.

I nodded my head in affirmation. He walked away without giving me glance.

'Boy, stay away from sun and running water'. A voice in my head whispered. Who is this and what does this person or may I say non-human want from me.
