He stayed under that big tree for hours. I'm getting so bored of sitting in this branch of the tree while watching over him. He fell asleep because of so much tiredness. The sun has already risen above the mountains spreading out its brilliant rays. I looked at my wrist and, uh oh, where are my twenty-four carats golden watch? That was my gift for me on my twentieth birthday. I gaze at the man below. Robber! I can't forgive you! I was about to jump and strangle him when I noticed a venomous snake crawling and approaching him. It hisses and is ready to bite the sleeping man.
"Hey, don't do that, you silly creature. Biting a sleeping man is unjust."
I used my telekinesis to make the snake float in the air. I playfully tossed it in the air. I watched it squirms.
"You're flying now. You should thank me for allowing you to feel how's to be a bird." I chuckled playfully.
I looked like a fool talking to myself. I sighed deliberately. This man deserves applause, he just had a bodyguard in an instant. Well, I can't let him die by now. How will I be able to find Catherine and Isabel if I kill him now? The two women. Are they still alive? I wish I could connect to them through the mental links. But it's impossible. I can only connect to those I have been with for a length of time. I subconsciously thrashed the snake into the bushy part of the woods. I curled my knees and placed my chin on top of it. I encircled my arms around my legs and played with the dried leaves by making them float in the space. It's boring and I feel sleepy. I'm getting hungry too. Are there any fruits here? I started sniffing and am not surprised when a delicious smell of fresh fruits filled my nose.
"Hmmm, that smells great!"
I heard my stomach rumbling and I got excited to fill it with that delicious smell. I quickly leaped into another branch and seconds later I vanished and appeared in the middle of a wide space occupied by fruit-bearing trees. This place is well kept. I didn't know that there's a place like this in New Land. It looks like someone is taking care of it. I looked around and saw rows of trees bearing bunches of fruits. I don't know what kind of fruit it is. It's a circle and has a shiny, orange surface that looks so smooth.
"Are these edible?" I asked myself.
It doesn't look familiar to me. But its smell is very enticing. I grabbed the tiny branch that my hand could reach and picked one fruit. I smelled it. Maybe, my strong olfactory sense would perceive if it's edible or poisonous. I have a light feeling and didn't see any danger about this fruit. I think it's edible. I wish me luck, though. I close one of my eyes, extended my arms forward, and looked at it closely like it's under a microscope before taking a bite.
"Hmmm, this is incredibly tasty," I told myself.
I didn't expect this to taste as good as this. Its meat is soft against my tongue, not to mention that it's sweet too. I felt delighted savoring it. I would still eat this fruit whatever it is, even if it's poisonous. Anyway, I won't die easily. I'll just teleport to the hospital if I feel anything wrong with my body. Besides, my stomach is great. I chuckled with this thought. I picked two more fruits and looked around before going back to the sleeping man I've left behind meters away. Seriously? He's still snoring. He's been sleeping for hours. How about I wake him up? That's stupid. He will realize that I am following him.
I stand towering over while keeping my eyes on him. I'm still munching and savoring on the no-name fruit I've picked. A brilliant idea flashed my mind while I was looking at him. How about using my telepathy to read his mind? That sounds awesome and exciting! I have never read the minds of sleeping people before. How about giving it a try this time? I focused and watched him until my sight went dim with only him I can see. I can hear the sounds of people talking and laughing in his mind. Oh, I forgot that he's unconscious and so what I will be able to read now is possibly his dream. I went back to my senses. I'm not interested in his dreams. My effort was useless, what a waste of energy. I jumped over towards the big branch of the tree where I was sitting a while ago. At least, I found out that I can read people's dreams. This is incredible!
I stopped cheering and went on deep thought. I can teleport, move very quickly like a flash of lightning, have undeniable physical strength, mental links, read people's minds, and now read dreams. Is there anything else that I can do aside from these? Were my parents, Balbi and Arlea capable of doing the same? How about Sherika, my sister? Why did they allowed themselves to be killed by the Aquans if they have such supernatural powers? But...I never saw them do anything supernatural. My father Balbi, could hardly move a medium size box of fruits we were selling. My mother Arlea couldn't fetch the basket of washed clothes after laundry, by herself. Sherika couldn't even move her study table every time she cleans her room. Could it be possible that they were just pretending to be weak? I scoffed. Impossible. They wouldn't be dead if they have the same powers that I possess. But, why do I have this kind of supernatural power? Where did I get these? I remembered Marcus and Hunter calling me Lady Amara. Who is she that they have mistaken me to be her? Is there any connection between her, the murder of my family in Ehtrehto Edis, and the Aquans who were chasing after me?
"Only Hunter can explain it to me." My mind told myself.I must focus and connect with him through the mental links. But before I could close my eyes, the man moved. He yawned and stretched his arms. He suddenly rose from sitting and glanced from the direction where he came from, then immediately run. He must have realized what happened earlier. He brushed the twigs of the bushes that obstructed his way. His moves are faster now, maybe because his strength was renewed after that long nap. Where is he going? Doesn't he even have a car in the warehouse where they imprisoned me? It seems that the path he's leading is unlikely to be a road. I kind of understand him. He might have lost his mind when he saw me in my sharp claws and narrow reddish eyes. I followed him closely, still hopping from branches to branches. I think we're getting near the highway because I can already hear the sounds of passing vehicles. He climbed into the highway rails
I followed the man into a narrow alley. I reduce my aura so he won't feel my presence. I don't know if I needed to do that for he's just an ordinary man, but I still did. The man's figure mixed up with the crowd in the busy road of the city. It won't be easy to identify him by sight, but not by smell. I was still able to follow him until he rode in a taxi. I know he's heading to Tucky Corporation. That ride will take him several minutes, and I just need seconds to teleport to reach there. This time, I know I don't need to follow him anymore. I stood by the side of the pavement and watched the taxi moving along with other vehicles."Akira, where are you?" Hunter spoke to me using our mind link."Nowhere," I answered."Come see me." There's urgency in his voice."Not now, Hunter. I'll just go back to you after I'm done with something." I told him.
The man's face turned red. I could tell that he could no longer hold his temper. He gave me a full-strength blow that landed on my stomach. I felt like my body was thrown up by the force he has exerted. My heart rate suddenly increased and there's a bitter taste in my mouth, so I spat it out. I felt like the air has left my body and so I'm like sucking for breath."Wow! So this is how it feels to become an ordinary woman?"I cherished down inside while recognizing the pain. On the other hand, I can't help to feel mercy for every battered woman. I sympathize with all those who can't protect themselves.The man was not contented so he followed it with a head-turning slap on my right cheek. It was hard and forceful. I got off-balanced making me fall to the cemented ground. I did not expect it to be this painful. I curved and wrapped my hands in the injured part of my stomach. My face feels stinging pa
My heart is throbbing. This feeling is unusual as I've never felt scared since I lived in this world. I can sense as though danger is near to happen. What possible risk could these men give me? They're just ordinary men, after all. I bit my lower lip to suppress the uneasiness I'm feeling. I know I look like a helpless chick in the eyes of these men right now. For the first time, I've felt repentance for getting engrossed with someone else's matter. A man with red hair scoffed while pointing to the small rectangular lock on the right side of the door. "That door can't be opened with anyone unless his biometrics are registered." Smart biometric door lock? I turned my gaze to the door and saw it. I didn't notice it a while ago maybe because it was covered by the chains, or I was too focused on opening the door. Fantastic and stupid at the same time! Why would they even put so many padlocks and chains in it if there's this modern lock? What was it for? I inhaled f
I used the back of my palm in wiping the man's blood that was thrown unto my lips. I watched him while he's screaming and covering his face with both hands. My claws have made five, long incised wounds on his skin. "Ahh, you ruined my face! You monster! Keep shooting her!" He was screaming his lungs out while blood keeps on gushing out the wound and dropping down the floor. The other men attacked me simultaneously when they were left with no more ammo. One man struck me with his long gun. It would have hit me on my face if I was not able to block it with my right forearm. I heard my bone broke. I almost hold my breath because of the pain, but it's not important by now. I moved my forearm upward counter-clockwise and grabbed the barrel of the gun. I clenched my free hand's fist and punched his stomach. His body thrust in an upward direction and the pressure made him spat out his saliva. Gladly, it skips me and just dropped
Hunter was attending to a customer at the counter when Akira started mind linking. "Hunter." "Akira. What is it? Come over if you're done there. I have to discuss something important." Akira did not respond. "Akira?" He felt worried when there's still no response from the young lady. He could hear her heart rate getting slower. He exactly knew that this day would come. Akira is stubborn and it will not surprise him if she will end up messing out with humans. "Where did she say she went?"He asked himself trying to remember their conversation a couple of minutes ago."Was it Tucky Corporation?" He smiled at the customer and handed her the shopping bag. "Thank you, please come again." He said warmly. After which, he hurriedly went to their small living room at
The shooting incident was reported to the police station by some concerned citizens. So, the police are now on their way to the warehouse. "Go ahead, Prince of Terra Hella. Use your ability to make these men forget." Hunter persuaded again. "I will try." The young prince walked near the lying bodies and recited a spell. Soon, lights emitted from his hand. He extended his hand and the droplets of lights, like snowflakes, spread across the bodies of the humans. Their bodies lit up a second and then the lights faded. "How sure are you that it will work?" Melissa was not convinced. "Trust is important, princess." Hunter smiled at her with full assurance. "Excuse me, I think we have to wake her up," Connor said and started to step forward to the lying body of Akira. "Don't touch her. Let her feel the pain. She needs it. She'll be up on her own," H
"I'm afraid to give you my speculations, but the other young woman here is connected to the person who is suspected to have abducted Adele." He begun. I place the phone on my shoulder and tilted my head to clip it. "Which woman and what connection do you mean?" I put the pendant back into the box and started taking off my pants. "The one with shoulder-length hair. She's a daughter of the woman," Lucas answered. "Daughter?" I repeated and stopped what I am doing. It's Catherine that he is referring to. "Yes, Ms. Brown." He confirmed. "What else do you know about the daughter, Catherine?" I asked further. "She runs away from home when she was sixteen. Her mother always beat her since she was a kid. There's no information about her father. What's more interesting here is, her mother, Rosalia, is a half-sister of Rosemary." Lucas narrated. "Rosemary, the head servant of the Brown's mansion?" I clarified.
