Oliver's POV
I slowly moved through the gates. The grasses at the entrance of the gate welcomed me by touching my shoes. A small gust of wind made them even brush my shoes. That wind also made my hair wave with it along with the leaves of the trees planted at both sides. The leaves swayed with the wind as if welcoming me back, to my hometown, my home.
I never considered this kingdom as my own or my home but all the people I love and care about, live here. Wherever they are, that place becomes my home, so technically, this is my home, whether I consider it or not.
I clearly knew that I can't defy my fate and escape this place but, at the very least, I can delay it. I can try to delay to meet my uncle. I really didn't want to see him. I was sure that he would ask me about my mission and he would hit me again if the result is not to his satisfaction.
I decided to meet my friends and accquaintances before going home. Thinking this, I marched towards the market. I had not seen my family and friends since last year and I really missed my friends. I was more close with my friends than my family.
The Supernatural Kingdom is a very beautifull and fascinating place. I really missed this smell of home. I used to talk with my friends on the phone and we even video called each other but, no matter how much the technology advances, it will never give the feeling of being together. It will never give the same feeling as we feel when we are with the being.
I was going to the market when someone tapped my shoulder.
"Oliver? You are Oliver, right? "
I turned back and found Will standing like a lunatic, with big eyes.
"Yes, it is Oliver only. Oh Oliver, how long has been since we last met? ", he said hugging me tightly.
Will was a fairy. He was born in our kingdom only and is a pure-blooded fairy. He had a nice and bubbly personality. Even though, being a pure-blooded fairy, he was superior to all the other fairies, he respected others and helped them. He was a perfect example for humans who think all fairies are nice and good.
Humans really have a lot of misconception towards all supernatural creatures. Like they presume all vampires are bad and only use humans, fairies are usually females, supernatural creatures don't even exist and many more. The list will go on amd on if I start listing them. All misconception are accepted by me except the last one. I mean they believe that God exist while we don't. Why? Why do you believe that? You have neither seen your God nor have you ever seen us, so why you don't believe in our existence but believe in God's? They are really foolish.
Will had a fair complexion amd his wings were neither too big nor too small. He was a muscular man and had a nice body too. His wings were of orange colour. The colour of wings for fairies and angels depend on genetics. There is no colour fixed for any one of them
" I think it has been almost an year since we last met. The last time when we were playing by the lake. ", I replied, hugging him back.
" Wow!!! Your sharp memory always amazes me. That is the reason you have remained at the top of all the classes. ", he said.
" Do you even know my scores of tests in human realm? I scored very less in it. I am not a genius. I just remember things better than others. "
"Ha... Is that your way of showing off, you smarty-pants. ", he said raising his eyebrows.
We both burst out of laughter at that.
" Seriously dude. Why are your jokes always so lame? ", I said, wiping a tear drop which came from laughing too hard.
" But you have to admit that my lame jokes always make you laugh. Why do you laugh when my jokes are lame? "
"No idea. They are lame but they somehow make me smile. By the way I think we talked last week too. "
"Yes but it was on phone dude. Don't tell me..... "
He stopped without completing his sentence and kept on staring at me.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Will, what are you thinking? ", I said. I slowly started getting worried. Why was he not saying anything? Why did he stop mid sentence? What is he thinking?
" Will...Will... Answer me. What? " I said.
"Why are you here when you were supposed to be in the human realm?", he said, surprisingly.
Oh! I got worried for nothing. I stopped breathing for a while. I took a deep breath and tried to relax.
" You have just realised it. Why didn't you ask me that before you started talking nonsence. ", I said, smilingly.
" I was very excited on seeing you so I didn't think about it. But I have noticed it now. Now will you tell me why you are here or not. ", he said. Tension was clearly visible on his face and I knew what he was thinking.
" Please don't tell me tha.... "
"Hey Will. We should talk about all this later. So, how have you been lately? ", I said and signalled him with my eyes to keep quiet. I had to remind him that we were in a crowed market where everyone can hear us well. I was also worried that he would say something which he should not say here.
Luckily, he understood my signal and said, " I have been well. Come, you should meet all our friends too. We all missed you a lot. " He then started pulling my hand and was leading me to our hideout.
He called everyone and informed them of my arrival.
We build that hideout when we all were kids. All of my friends have been with me since a young age. We spent most of our time together. We played together, studied together and sometimes spend time with each others family too. My friends never visited my home because they also dread that place as much as I do but I have been to all their houses and met their families.
Soon all my friends came at the speed of lightning at our hideout. Alex came with Sam and Jack. All of them hugged me and asked about my well being.
Sam and Jack were brothers and they were wizards. They were also a pure-blooded wizards and their mother was a very famous witch in the kingdom. Sam was a year older than Jack so he was always a responsible guy. He is parent of our group. He is also a year older all of us here so, he is oldest in our group too. Alex had telekinesis power. He could control things by his mind. He was the only supernatural being who had no family here and we didn't even know whether he was pure-blood or not. He is my best friend but I love all my friends equally.
"I know you all are very happy on seeing Oliver after a long time but will Mr Oliver answer us why he is here and not in human realm? ", he said with bloodshot eyes.
Everyone looked at me and I knew that I was cornered and had no escape. I just let out a sigh.
