Chapter 22 - HOW STRANGE PEOPLE MEET

She had completely dismembered the man he lay motionless as she walked away.

" Afterlife? I sure so wonder what that's like" she turned around once she heard the voice.

"you-"

"shush try not to move I don't wanna hurt you "the man said as the shadow hovered around her neck .

" what are you?" she asked the man scratched the back of his head before answering.

" I'm human as far as anyone is concerned I'm just a bit.... special being that I'm immortal and all" he smiled, the girl looked amused at his actions.

"My name's mercury my power is strings"she said excitedly.

' this girl crazy why is she happy?' he thought but kept smiling " nice to meet you my names Romeo and I can't die obviously".

"nice to meet you father!"

" okay that's it I can't do this anymore" he withdrew the shadow and turned around to leave after taking the the pants off on of the dead aliens.

" wait don't go" she chased after him

" don't follow me kid I'm not your dad you must be confused."

" but I don't have anywhere to go and mom told me before I got taken that if I met a man who couldn't die then he's my dad" she said as she continued to chase after him .

" That's bullshit,I haven't met a woman in a hundred years and it's not my problem of you have nowhere to go " she somehow managed to get ahold of his leg .

"please don't go" she said sadly before he sighed and he sat down and she let go

" listen I don't have the slightest clue how to take care of a child ". he complained.

" you take care of yourself pretty well "

"I don't need to eat or sleep and I'll still be fine you on the other hand" he looked at her from head to toe. " maybe a few days?"

" hey I can take care of myself " she pouted

" I'm not buying it" .he crossed his hands over his chest

"fine just let me follow you if I die then that's it if I don't then...then..."

"then what?"

" you'll agree or be my daddy or treat me like your sister till the day I die since you can't " she said proudly, Romeo gave her a weird look before starting to run.

" huh? get back here"

" I won't even begin to tell you how wrong that sounds so like hell I'll agree" .

" you have to " she continued to chase him for almost the entire day .

" I'm back " Romeo eventually gave up on running after she managed to cling to his leg till he had to cut it off, she cut off his head and carried that around till he regenerated after being cut, tripping and having his head cracked open he gave up and decided to get her something to eat.

" um..oh.*yawn* welcome back" she stretched as she wobbled over to him ." what's for breakfast?" Romeo smiled and started cooking whatever it was that strange looking thing was.

"woah wait doesn't that mean mercury is like a Grandma or something how is she-"

" so young ? well you see Romeo, mercury and I have similar costs but those two are still older than me since I heard this story from my dad since I wasn't born yet ." jin answered.

Mercury and Romeo had grown tired of the ship and decided wander a bit ,they had been wondering for a year when.

" mandala,mandala, tomack shetaquistar dugala"( humans humans they're invading kill them) the soldier screamed as it was torn apart by Romeo while mercury just hung leisurely on his back .

" Manda-mphdh" . Romeo put a finger to his lips as he found one of them hiding.

" oka tubaku mandala,dimpto, qwaser mall Tak dugalu" ( yes where human be quiet or I'll kill you) along the way Romeo had managed to pick up some of their language ,the alien looked surprised and touched something it's neck.

" what are you doing?" the alien was gesturing for him to let go so it could speak .

" I don't trust it " mercury chimed in.

"hey it could mean no harm" Romeo replied. Mercury just stared at him with a blank expression.

"there are holes in shirt, now tell me where did those holes come from big bro ?"

" I get your point " he answered as he turned towards the alien " niva tala wadaka miga Tak bahu?" ( of i take my hand off will you scream or run?" .

The alien shook it's head and he slowly took his hand off .

"hah finally you let go seriously who are you guys, I know humans had gained superpowers but this is absurd" Mercury and Romeo had their mouths open in shock

" you..."

" speak...."

"" English!!!!"" they shouted in unison
