Chapter 8 - 8. Reminiscing

Unknown POV

it's been over a month since I started living with Athan,I am getting used to having a normal life and just livinging that doesn't stop me from being on the watch.. though there's been no sign of anybody from diacom looking for me, and that's a good sign considering the fact that am technically in the middle of nowhere inside a house with a man I didn't know.... the chance of finding me and really small but I didn't doubt diacom's resources.

Athan has been very kind to me I still don't remembering how I got here but this place sort of feels like home now I didn't have to train or do crazy stunts and fitness exercises everyday to test my "abilites". Athan sort of reminds me of my parents- my dad I dont remember....

much of them only that they abandoned me when I needed them the most, I would like to think that they had no choice that they did what they had to do to live- they had always loved me and treated me great but all that changed when Diacom came.

I don't recall how exactly who old was then but I clearly remember hiding behind the pillars as they discuss with my parents.

Mum was crying and dad looked emotionless and stiff. I remember crying and reaching for them as two very large men dragged me and locked me up in the van.

Growing up in diacom,I decided that I would one day find my parents and then demand why they hated me so much and why they just handed me over like I was nothing to them but maybe I did mean - nothing to them.

"Princess"

I turned around to find Athan beckoning on me to come inside the house.

Wait, princess! where the hell did that come from,.. I just realized that I never actually told him my name, am sure he'd asked once but I wasn't ready to speak then, I'm not sure if I was ready now.

"Athan"

"you need to come inside it looks like it's going to rain"

I looked up and for sure the clouds were gathering I didn't understand how people were scared of the rain or thunder I felt like it was when my powers were at the fullest.

I remember standing under the rain one day in the open field where I trained everyday.

My system produce a chemical which when comes in contact with rain water produces high electricity voltage, during that time anyone within three fit of me will roast like steak. it's the only time I felt in control of everyone and everything around me I felt alive and charged each time after that I was buzzing with power, everyone left me to be on my own I was a living inferno for the next three days I would be wild and untamed.

I really miss that, I could do that now once the rain started pouring but I really don't want to give Athan an heart attack and possibly burn our house.

"I really like the weather now though"

"Of course you do but frankly I don't think you have much clothes"

Right....

"I'll be in a moment"

"now"

Arrogant much...

"Fine"

I make my way and enter the house and for the next 30 minutes I watch as the rain poured outside, Athan was lying on the sofa with a book in his hand and a cup of coffee on the table.

I could really get used to this life, quiet and peaceful ....was it too much to want it to remain like this?

But of course I'm totally jinxed and shit was seriously about to go down.... who am I kidding.... nothing is going to happen everything is fine.

Athans POV

I've been considering going back to the city I've long in a way from civilization and it's time to go back, and not to forget the fact that I had a child living with me now and speaking off I don't even know her name best to get that cleared up if I'm going to enroll her in school .

I still don't know what happened to her and how she landed in my land but I'm going to wait for her to tell me, she's weird but at least she's normal I'm sure whatever she went through was very traumatic for her and she possibly does not remember everything the the thought brings me back to why I left the city and decided to live in solace.

In life I learnt we all make mistakes we do things that will later regret and things that no matter how we try we can't reverse it overtime we have to learn to live with the guilt and not let it weigh us down, so that we can do other things I learnt my lesson the hard way and wherever he is now he will never forgive me.

Concerning other people's life we don't get to make decisions no matter how little they are it is there life we need to stop deciding for others what's best for them.

Hmm... that's all in the past now it's time to start afresh and leave the past behind starting now...

"Princess"

She frowned...

"You need to stop calling me that"

"Well I don't know your name"

"Ask"

This child is weird

"Ok what is your name?"

"Ailthia"

Okay so I prided myself with the fact that I read a lot and I knew a lot of names and languages, but I swear I have never heard such a name in my life.

"Is that even English?"

She rolled her eyes...

Sassy much..

"No it's greek

"Okay what does it mean?"

"Healing"

Healing I like that...

"So you got anything to say to me?"

"Yes actually how would you like to move?"

"And go where?"

"California"

"I don't know"

"I think it would be great if you could enroll in school civilization and all that"

"Probably not a good idea"

"Why?"

"I don't know just do whatever you want..."

And she left
