Chapter 23 - Andrai

Andrai ...

Andrai stop running you will hurt yourself, mum shouted from behind, but mum I am nineteen let me be free, I replied, and mum just chuckled and said "yes but you behave like a child how could I let you be more like your matured brother " I just laughed and went away.

I went to lay on my bed to sleep, tomorrow is my birthday and I needed to rest.

...

Come to me Andrei won't you come, I said come won't you," Leave me alone" I don't want to go I shouted and before I knew it the strange image came to me and held my chin, and said be waiting I will come for you.

I woke up panting and I was so afraid what was that I thought, I had been having nightmares for two years now and I never told anybody because I was afraid I did the image will come for me, I decided to take a stroll outside the palace and go to the lake, but of course, guards accompanied me.

Leave me alone, I ordered and they left, the ocean was so beautiful and I loved it, I loved the moon and the stars so much that at night, I could stare at them without blinking, while I was busy admiring my surroundings, I spotted a raven bird staring at me and I went closer to it ooo gosh the bird was so cute and I went closer to it and before it could fly away, I carried it in my arms and thankfully it remained calm. How are you? I asked but it did not reply. Oo God was I stupid birds can't talk, but I can make it talk, surprisingly I was given the gift of making animals talk, while my brother was given the gift of singing and I can make them understand me.

I thought my gift was useless because it never worked on any animal and I knew it was a gift because my parents said so, but it turns out it is useful now, with one swift of my hand I made the impossible, possible. What is your name I asked?

"Drex" the bird answered, and I smiled okay do you have an owner," no" he answered, then what are you doing here? I saw he was silent and didn't want to talk I kept shut and carried him in my arms and I went to my room and I slept with Drex in my arms but when I woke up I saw a man and instantly I was alert but before I could let out a tremendous scream he covered my mouth, before I could talk and kissed me, my eyes went wide was this man crazy, are you mad I managed to say, where is Drex? I asked and my world dropped when he said.

I am DREX, his hair was black and he was very handsome, his skin was fair but I must not let myself be distracted, why did you kiss me and why are you in a bird shape? but all he managed to say was" you are the one, you made me talk".
