"Young man, which Clan do you belong to? He asked before I got out the door of the store. I stared at him with my emotionless green eyes and shortly said,
"The Wolf Clan"
I will always be proud of the Clan that I belong to. Although my mother belong to the Snake Clan, I was raised and grown up in the Wolf Clan alongside my father and the people that cares for me. I don't hate the Clan of my mother but their forbidden love prohibit me to be at least know them. I always asked my father why can't I be with my mother at the Snake Clan and he always answered me that it will only endangered my life if the Snake Clan knows my existence. They will hunt me down because I was the offspring of the forbidden love of a wolf man and Snake woman. This was against the law of the Snake Clan stating that, "A Snake Clan member must only marry to a member of the same clan. Marrying an outsider is prohibited."
This is the reason why the love of my father and mother considered as forbidden. The reason why they kept for themselves the relationship they had. And the exact reason why my existence is to be kept in also is for my own safety and protection.
I once asked my father who made such law and then he answered, the law was made by the Previous King from years ago. Because of the reason that his lover chose someone from the other Clan than him and runaway. The Clan which the guy belong to is no other than the Wolf Clan. The hatred of the King was passed down from generation to his people. So the hatred harbors by the Snake Clan to the Wolf Clan is so big that until now, Wolf Clan is still considered as enemy by the Snake Clan.
I wonder if that law didn't exist, will I be able to have a whole and happy family? I wonder what feeling would that be. The be able to have both your parents by your side as you grown up. I can only wish I guess... But even if it's late, I would love to wait for that day to come. And I will do anything to make that happen.
One day... I'll make my dreams come true and will definitely tried my best to fulfill it. Not just for my happiness but also for the happiness of my parents. Their happiness was way more important than mine.
My thoughts continuous to run in my head until someone grabbed me and bump into his chest. Gab hurriedly asked, "Hey! Alex what are you thinking? Are you okay? You almost bump into someone in the way." Then it hits me, I was thinking something while walking and not paying attention in the way. I was in a dazed at first until I noticed that I was still leaning on someone. Then I looked up only to find out that someone happened to be Samuel Xi. We locked eyes and stared at each other's eyes. His eyes seems to be asking me or it was just my own imagination. Thanks to him for grabbing my arm and prevent me from bumping into someone in the way. After finding out, I quickly composed myself and done a few step back to the side.
"Thank you" I muttered then shift my gaze Gab and answered back to his question earlier, " I was just preoccupied by my thoughts." He kept staring at me as if measuring if I'm okay. I added to reassured him, " No need to worry. " He only nod at my assurance.
Me and my thoughts once again...
Who's that Old man in the store? And why would he asked about which Clan I belong to? Maybe, he just mistaken me for someone he knew. Oh well, let's get moving and forget about it. When Gab suddenly screamed...
"Holy! We forgot about the curfew! We are supposed to be inside the school before the guards closed the gate." He frantically said looked ahead as if looking at the school gate.
How can we forget such an important thing..
We are Curfew breakers!
We're doomed!!.
