'Huh? wait look, Phoebe look. isn't that mother? that mortal, she looks exactly just like Mother!' I said telepathically to talk to Phoebe. 'Y-You're right Princess. But how could that be possible' Phoebe said, confused as I was. 'Hmm... Let's go, Phoebe, Let's follow her.'
'B-but Princess w-wait. It's illegal in this world to just follow someone, it's a crime they call stalking.' Pheobe said, quite nervous at my suggestion. 'So? We won't go to jail if we get caught or just approach her for help.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'What do you think is this place, Phoebe?' I said rather flustered at the unfamiliar place in front of us. Police Station, it read upfront with some weird blue cap logo. 'I also don't know Princess, but look they have prison cells here this must be the guard's station.' Phoebe said, coming to a conclusion of what this strange place was. 'Okay then.' I said preparing myself to go inside.
"Um, Excuse me. I-I think I'm lost." I said to the man at the front desk. "Hey Dear. Are you with someone you know, you're friends maybe?" Said the lady who looked like my mother. so she must be a guard here then. I wonder who her master is...
"N-no. I'm not with anyone" I lied. Well not entirely, I am alone as Phobe is invincible to everyone else but me unless she lets herself be seen. "Oh, is that so... Hmm, then what can I help you with, dear?" The woman said, trying to be polite and professional.
"I, um, ran away from home, and I--" I said. Lying. "Kids these days, really," she whispered, though I could still hear her through faint and vague.
"So, would you like to stay here for the night?" She added. Trying to stay calm in my situation. I mean, every parent must be infuriated to see a child run away from home yet still thankful that their child didn't right?
"May I?" I said, acting unsure just to not seem too pushy about it. "Um, yeah of course." "T-thank you, Ma'am. It's just that I have yet to find accommodation, and all of my friends refused to let me stay at their houses for a few days, Ma'am." I said. Yes! I guess as long as I'm useful around here then I don't have to worry about my lodgings.
"It's fine. Just call me Clarise, Hmm?" The woman said as she smiled genuinely at me. "O-okay then, Clarise."
Suddenly there was some shouting from men that entered. "Captain, these sick drunkards kept starting fights with everyone that comes by them down there on the street." Said a guy in the same uniform as Clarise. "Ha, it's started. You just stay there okay." Walking out to see what was commotion all about.
"Okay, Clarise," I shouted just enough for her to hear. "Hey, hey, stop! I said stop! Enough!All of you!Ouch! Damn!" Clarise yelled, trying to break the fight, but she was injured by the bottle the drunk man was holding. "H-hey I said stop it will you!" She shouted once more, trying to make them stop, though still bleeding.
"What is it to you, huh?! Bitch! You stay out of this! You're just a mere sissy here! Dear, this is the big brothers' fight I'll talk with you later. How about a drink just you and me?" The drunk man said, but before he could even touch Clarise I dashed in the middle of both of them.
"Dare touch her and I'll break both of your hands into thousands of pieces," I said through gritted teeth while glaring at him. "Hahaha! Would you look at this pretty lad we have here, protecting your mom, eh?"
"Correction, she's not my mother, but it's all the same, whoever she is I'm still breaking your arm if you dare do anything to her," I said while smirking at this man's foolishness. "Haha! Okay, I'll leave miss police officer here, if you be her replacement. How 'bout that?" He said while disgustingly winking, or rather, it looks more like he has a tick in his eye.
"I don't think that would be possible how could you hold a glass with broken arms, Hmm?" I said looking at him in the eye. "Oh yeah? How do you suppose you'll be able to break my arms?" He said. Amusement was evident in his eyes.
"I don't know. Like this maybe?" I said while torturingly twisting his right arm. The same arm holding the broken glass that he used to harm Clarise. I heard the crowd around us gasp in horror. "W-what the--?! H-how did you do that?! Ow! Fuck! Let go you fucking lunatic!" He said as he ran away from me screaming his lungs out the moment I let go of him.
"Clarise are you okay?" I asked, instantly running to check on her. "H-huh? Oh yeah yeah of course. But please in the future, since I have a feeling you'll be staying here for quite some time, please don't do that. You could not only be sued for assault but also hurt from those fights, you know?" She said sounding worried about my well-being.
"But with that aside, how did you do that?" She asked after she put some medicine on her wound, thankfully it wasn't that deep, just a simple scratch. The shock written all over her face made me giggle a little bit. "Why are you laughing?" She said flustered about my reaction. "Well, it just that your face says shock all of it," I said as I giggled again. "And for your first question, well, I was just trained a lot as a kid, it was like some kind of olden family tradition of ours," I explained.
"Oh ok then, I understand. Oh right, here, you could sleep in my bed, I'm on night shift today so, you can take the bed." She said as she led me to their boarding quarters.
"Ok, um ... thank you," I said. "I promise I'll help around here as much as I can and won't be a burden to you all," I said, truly grateful for the help she offered. "Yeah sure, thanks as well, for you know earlier. Though I felt offended as a policewoman when you protected me but I know you meant good so, yeah thanks!"
"You're welcome! And if there's anything I can do to help just tell me as a way of me paying you back." I said While waving at her as she was exiting the room to attend to her duties. "Sure..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I placed my luggage down and unpacked the necessities I needed for the night. When I finished doing so, I breathed a sigh of relief. I just have to continue to keep an eye on Clarise and I also have to find a way to earn money for my stay here, as well as do my real job here. Again I breathed another deep sigh.
Oh, Phoebe I just hope we can get by in this world as commoners now, it is indeed different from how we were in the castle but I need this right now Phoebe, and I will stick to my decision...
I was woken up by the sound of people fighting. I grunted and forced myself to get up and see what is the commotion all about. I peeked through a small gap in the door that I opened. Again, there were people fighting but this time it was two women."Hey, Clarise. What's happening." I said still groggy from my sleep. "Two minors got caught for fighting in an alley and it seems that both are from rich families and have 'Karens' for moms," she said as she air quoted the Karens which made both of us laugh.After a while and what felt like the longest fight I have ever witnessed, both sides settled on having both children go on community cleaning. Clarise said it was just another normal nighttime arrest.When things seemed to have eased up I went back to the sleeping quarters and took out my dagger since I needed to reach my one-day, one arrest quota. "Let's go!" I whispered to myself as I tried to fill myself with confidence that I could do it as I was very nervous for my first day on my
After several months~After observing the mortal world for some time now, I could say, I have already adjusted to their lifestyle. And all I could say about is humans are already complicated as it is, they even want to complicate the simplest matter. *sigh* I got lost in my train of thoughts when Clarise came in."Hey, you okay? You seem out of it these days.""Yeah ... It's just that I'm nervous about the upcoming entrance examination for the school that I applied to go to," I said half lying. "Well okay then. Good luck later by the way!"And yes, I have decided that I will go to a mortal school while I'm here since I found out that mortals have also been studying their behaviors and the ways how their brains work, I really wanted to study more about it and also, since I've saved up some money from working in a restaurant near here and I was also considered some kind of 'stay-in intern' here in the station I also got money there I also sold some pieces of jewelry that I brought with
I was smiling from ear to ear the whole while we ate. I just could not contain my excitement about living together with Clarise! Passionately waiting for the time to go home. "Clarise, excuse me but, I would like to talk to Lilan for a second," Ophelia said after we finished eating."Why, yes of course. That would be fine. Then I shall go to the bathroom for a bit then, while you both talk." Clarise said while excusing herself. "Yes, that would be very much appreciated!" Ophelia said thanking her for the privacy given to our conversation.I knew from the tone they were both talking in that they were trying to be as polite as possible towards each other, and I couldn't help but smirk at them as there was no need for them to be so polite and formal as they both will be seeing each other a lot now that Clarise has become my legal guardian as she's taking me under her wing.When Clarise was now out of ear reach, our little meeting about my job as an MMDT Officer started.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Impudent dumb bitch! How could you not even think about that!' I said to myself in a whisper-hiss tone reprimanding myself. *sigh* 'Phoebe! can you help me here? Please activate the invisibility spell.' I said finally giving up.'Yes, Princess. Good luck on sneaking out Lilan.' Phoebe said her voice filled with a brim of amusement. 'Ah, yes. I'll be needing all the good luck wishes in the world.' I took a deep breath and chanted the spell.I jumped off the opened window carefully trying to not bump into any of the items and appliances near the window. Once I got on the ground it was an easy feat afterward and I just simply carried out my mission for the night. As long as I also figure out a way to go back into my room without being suspected, I'll presumably have it easier in the future as long as I quickly get the hang of it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2 years after~It's not been a walk in the park for the past two years of my life here on Earth. There have been countless instan
He groaned as he fell to the floor after I hit him hard. The bloody bastard deserved it though. He was foolish and ignorant to even try to piss me off. "If ever in the future you so even try to piss me off or even just disrespect me, you're going to feel a pain far more than that you feel right now!" I said angrily at him.I heard him chuckle lightly under his breath."Hey Kid--" He said pain still evident in his voice. "Don't call me a kid I'm already 18 I'm an adult physically, mentally, emotionally, and by law!" "Okay, okay now. You said I can't disrespect you, now hear me out respect is something you need to earn." He said trying to sound oh so mature when in reality he's the exact opposite of it. "And so is disrespect. I didn't say anything yet but you already started blabbing about some sort of bullshit nonsense!" I said. I felt Clarise hold my arm to tell me to stop. He should be thankful to Clarise if not he would've already died."Okay, whatever you say!" He said as he raise
I internally scolded myself after that incident, of all times I have to get caught. Ugh... Just why do I always end up staring at that handsome-- no, no erase such ridiculous thoughts. God damn it... I'm fucked~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Because of Pheobe's very alerting and uncomfortable awakening words, I ended up avoiding the shit out of Xander. and Phoebe just kept teasing me every moment she was able to. Goddess, why him of all people.'Because you have a thing for unsubmissive men, take Ryan for an example.' Phoebe once again said in my head. 'Goddess, just shut up Phoebe, you've been going on with this for a week' I said annoyed. She just snickered like a little kid and her voice slowly vanished from my head. I just sighed and rolled my eyes at what Phoebe said.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that night... God damn shapeshifting mongrel! I already had a bad day now you want me to have a bad night?! Wait a fucking minute! That energy, I know that energy like the back of my hand! It's Rya
When I got home, I ended up crying myself to sleep. The moment I woke up and got ready for classes, I ended up having bloated eyes due to my dumb self crying. Which just made Clarise and Vinny(Clarise's daughter who is about my age) worry about me a lot and led to a nonstop hot-seat interview which wouldn't have stopped if I didn't have classes that day so, thank goddess I had them. And as time went on, in the daytime I had those little banter moments with Xander that I have grown to love. For Example, there was this time when me and him were tasked to buy some snacks while there weren't any civilians yet at the station, and as he has finished the most paper workload in the rest of them, he ended up the one doing all the grocery work. He fought with whatever snacks we should pick, that jerk being the selfish ass that he is actually got some great taste, the snacks that he wanted to pick were those that I liked. "Hey kid, this is way better, cheese-flavored stuff can never go wrong i
Xander's POVLife hasn't always been that easy for me, though I survived through all of those hardships, I can't deny that my looks did help me make life easier, but together with those advantages were a fair amount of annoyance and more nuisances in my life. Because for every decision you make there will always be a consequence. That's how karma goes.Xander 16 years ago~They're fighting again. I thought to myself. Can't they at least fight tomorrow, today's my 6th birthday. Kids in my class are always so happy and excited when their birthday comes. But then, why am I not like them? I thought seemingly questioning myself.I don't even know who's at fault here anymore. My Mom cheats on my Dad. While my Dad abuses my Mom. I went closer to my bedroom door and peeked through the small opening gap there. There I saw my father beating up my mother. Again. Though it wasn't a new sight to see, I could never get over how painful that must be for my mother."Please, please stop. I'm sorry.""
