Chapter 12 - Chapter 11

That was so unexpected.

Mia felt bad for tiring the man, but if she said she was faking it, he might hurt her.

"Hold on tight, am gonna leap," he said, holding Mia tighter.

"You are gonna what? No I think this is a joke..." before she could finish, the man took off in the air, jumping.

Mia fainted out of shock.

He felt the girl loosen her grip around his neck, and he caught a glimpse of her unconscious self.

"Dammit!! Am in trouble," Davis muttered to himself.

*************

Mia woke up to find herself on a bed made of flowers.

"Finally you are awake!" the familiar husky voice echoed in where they were. It seemed like a bush but built like a room.

In a rush, Davis pulled her by the arm out of the place.

The sun was shining outside, with butterflies and plants everywhere. 'But wasn't it dusk minutes ago before I was kidnapped?' Mia thought. What was more extraordinary about the place was that houses were made of plants and flowers.

There were rivers and streams with birds chirping everywhere.

Mia was distracted, observing everything from on top of a big house tree.

"You're easily distracted, I'd like you to meet someone who needs you," Davis led her into another room.

There was an old woman laying on a flower bed.

"Come darling," the woman beckoned Mia with her index finger, smiling brightly at her new guest.

Mia did not see any harm approaching the woman, so she did so. She kinda felt safe with the serene place.

"I was expecting you, but I didn't expect you here so soon, don't tell me Xander forced you to come here," the old woman said, turning her head to Davis.

'Xander? Who is Xander, I guess Davis' real name is Xander'. Mia thought to herself.

"Mother!!! We need to do this quick, please don't waste time, start," Davis said in worry.

"Mia, needs to go back to the human dimension before people worry that she is missing, you know how that dimension has dramatic beings", Davis added.

"Okay Xander, I see my son is worried sick about me," said the fragile and weak old woman.

Holding Mia's arm, the woman said, "Please help me 'Golden Saki', our dimension is running out of power, as you can see, my power is deteriorating and we shall be in danger soon. I have lived for more than a millennium, but we haven't found our heir queen mother, and since a Golden Saki has been born, you are our only hope!"

Mia stared at the old woman in confusion.

"Golden who now? Oh Lord Hahaha, snap me out of this insane dream land. This can't be real, Davis, did you make me take alcohol?" Mia tilted her head and shaked it three times.

"Wait!! You don't know who you are? Before we run out of time, hold that sceptor and concentrate your powers into it," The old woman pointed at a rod made from plants, with a ball like globe at the top that was grey in color.

"Hold on lady, I just need to go home, do my homework, tomorrow I have school, you've got the wrong person.

Before she could make a step, someone grabbed her harshly.

"You are gonna do what she says if you ever want to go back home, NOW!!!" Davis shouted angrily, breathing heavily like a possessed beast.

"Mia held onto the sceptor, and touched the ball, but nothing happened," Doing this felt so familiar to her, as if she has ever done it before.

She shut her eyes, concentrating to the ball, taking deep breaths. Immediately, light filled the room.

Mia was too busy concentrating onto the ball to notice the change in her surrounding.

She then stopped, opening her eyes, she saw the old woman transform.

Her dull gray hair turned green, same as her eye color. Wrinkles disappeared on her face, her eyebrows and eyelashes became green. She was breathtakingly beautiful! She looked like the goddess of nature.

"Mother, it is true, she is the Golden Saki, she restored our land," Davis said, running to hug the woman who was now young.

"M...m..me? What the...heck...what in the world happened!!! I... yes.. am still dreaming," Mia refused to accept.

"No child, you were born to save us all, the human dimension would have been in trouble if it weren't for you, actually, it has been over a million years since the last Golden Saki came into the world, since I was getting old and no girl in our dimension showed the powers to be the next queen mother, we suspected a Golden Saki in the human world, so I sent Davis to detect an unusual powerful being," The woman removed Davis mask, and revealed his red hair that was tied to a bun.

He had natural red eyes, long red eyelashes, red eyebrows and red lips, he was so beautiful that Mia stared as if she was hypnotized.

"Listen child, if you're curious to find out more about yourself, you are always free to visit, right now I have to announce to my people that our dimension is safe, but I won't make your presence known for know, go home, but remember, you belong here, not there," She smiled sweetly at Mia.

"Xander, take her home safely," she instructed Davis.

Davis held her arm, took a green necklace and hid it in his shirt. In a moment, a green portal opened and he jumped with Mia inside.

When she opened her eyes, she was back in the forest. It was already at night. Davis quickly put on his face mask, and only his beautiful red eyes could be seen.

He swooped the tiny girl, and this time, she hold on to his neck tightly, he leapt with her.

It was a faster way to evade the thick forest.

In no time, they arrived where the car was left near the road, and he entered.

"Almost there," he turned and frowned at the whitehead who was struggling to climb the car.

"Uugh... kill me," he muttered to himself with annoyance.

He went to help her, "Really! This will be the last time... But, I am .... thank....ful for saving queen mother, so I owe you my....life, thank you so much," he talked but he didn't realize how close they were.

Xander was tall like Clyde, but more muscular. He looked as if he was in his early twenties.

He held onto Mia's waist, and helped her to climb the car.

He drove off like a mad driver and reached.

"Don't tell any human about what happened if you'd want to live in piece, I'll go, queen mother needs me,"

"Will you be still working for Raquel's family?"

"No," came his short reply.

She was dropped off, and he drove away.

'What an adventure!" she thought.

When she entered the house with her bag pack, she found Greta seated quietly at the fireplace, sipping coffee.

She smiled brightly at her arrival, and stood up to give her a hug.
