Chapter-7: Herding.
Alice was taking her goats and sheeps for herding and Angel joined her because she was free in her house. She took a small stick and Alice told her how to take them all towards the fields.
"Hush."
"Hush."
They reached the field and other villagers were already there with their goats and sheeps. There were many females who were sitting in a group and talking. They look at both of them and start muttering. Meanwhile, one female from the group told Alice that her friend is pretty beautifull. Angel smiled and started looking around because she got a little bit shy. They offered to sit with them but she told them that they were going to sit with their group. There were other boys and girls of her age and there were Jack and Daniel with their goats. Both sit with them and start having a small talk.
"Hey!! Introduce your friend with us." Said by Daniel.
"Myself… Angel."
"There is no doubt." Said by Jack.
They were talking but they heard someone's sound with his goats and sheeps. That sound was coming from their back, when they turned back, they saw a huge number of goats and sheeps were coming towards them. They quickly stand from their seats and step aside. But everyone knows who is coming. Behind all sheeps and goats, Hero was walking wearing clean clothes and slippers on his feet. He was holding one stick on his shoulder and he threw that stick towards the river. That river was far away from that place where they all were sitting. That stick got stuck in the middle of the river.
"What a throw."
Angel was surprised to see that and she was staring at him but Alice pointed at her so that she could stop staring at him.
"Hero… meet my new friend."
Before she said something about her he told everything about her and she was shocked because she hadn't met him before but then also, he knew everything. … Group of all females ask him to show his power. They said this for teasing him but he smiled at them because he knew that. Hero asks his friends to take care of his goats and sheeps. But he pointed his three fingers towards Jack, Daniel and Alice.
"And what will you do?"
"Relax."
He stands below one tree and opens both his hands.
Branches of the tree started moving towards him and grabbed him from his waist and lifted him up. Hero lay down on one branch and other branches cover him from both the sides. All the boys and girls start talking about him. They told each other that he always used to do this. He was laying on the branch but he was looking at Angel. He was staring at her eyes and cheeks. Her cheeks were like sweets and her eyes were like the ocean. She realized that someone was watching her, she quickly looked at him and he quickly started looking on the other side. … She feels a little bit scared of him because he has so many powers and he can do anything with those powers.
On that place some local boys came who used to create trouble. They were walking while showing their chest and talking very loudly. Angel got a little bit scared of them also but Alice told her that Hero will handle them all. When they saw Angel, they started commenting on her but they did not see Hero, who was sitting on the above from the ground.
"Hello!! I am here."
… They all got scared and they all ran away from there because Hero had done something bad with them. All boys and girls start laughing at them. But there were more boys, who were his friends and they were in the river.
"Hero!! Come over here… to catch fish."
He was about to answer them but someone else answered them.
"He will not come."
That sound was very loud and it was the voice of a girl. … All females in the group and all the boys and girls start looking towards the sound except Hero. They all saw a girl, who was wearing a beautiful dress with an open hairstyle. She had earrings on both the ears. Her slippers were shining like gold and had some golden bangles on her hands. She was walking towards that tree where Hero was laying. She stands below that tree and looks at him.
Angel was a little bit jealous of her because she doesn't like her beauty. … That girl also looked at her and she was also a little bit jealous of her beauty.
"Hmm."
She leaves her and again looks at him. She raised both her hands up and started making sounds with the help of her bangles. She used to hit her both the hands, sometimes she shook her hand and a sound appeared. He looked at her.
…
"Hi Hero."
… He lay down again but his right hand fell down. He stretched his first finger and start rotating. Dust started moving around her and suddenly, she lifted up and sat on another branch of a tree.
"Next time, tell me before you do this."
All the boys and girls sat on the ground and Angel was looking at her. Alice asks her to stop staring at her because she is the daughter of the richest landlord in this village. But everyone was wondering that she rarely used to come for herding but that day, she came for him.
… Suddenly, she shouted.
"Again you will win."
Again everyone was shocked but due to that shouting, they all found the reason.
… She was looking down and asked him to help her because she was sitting on a height and if she jumped from there, then she might break her arms and legs. She kept asking for his help but he did not listen.
Due to this she got angry at him and jumped from there but Hero used his power and stopped him in mid air. He landed her safely on the ground.
"Thank you."
She knew that if she jumped from there, he was going to save her. With a huge smile she went from there but Angel wanted to know about her and she asked Alice about her. … Everyone told her about her.
"Her name is Isabella, daughter of landlord Thomas, very arrogant. Two uncle's, Martin who doesn't have his brain and Bruce who is like a giant."
Meanwhile, all the boys came out from the river with many fishes hanging on their backs. Hero jumped down and raised his arm in the air, his stick which got stuck in the river came back on his hand.
He hit that stick on the stone and a sound came. All the sheeps and goats start moving towards him and he asks everyone to take their goats and sheeps along with them. He asks for two big sized fish for him and they give it to him. Everyone started moving towards their house and all the goats and sheeps were walking behind Hero.
Alice continued her talk.
"Hero saved her life when she was attacked by some wild bulls. That time, he was 10 years old and he used his powers to save her, he froze all the bulls in front of her. From that day on, she likes him."
Now, they all reached their houses with their goats and sheeps. Hero also reached their house and he handed over those big size fish to his mother. She was surprised to see those fish because she knew that he rarely used to catch fish but that day he had bought fish for dinner. Alice was still telling her about Isabella and Angel was listening to her.
"Every year, there is a chariot race that used to occur and Hero used to take part. He kept winning for many years."
But Angel knew that he had no chariot and she did not see any horses in his house, so from where did he get the chariot and horses?
… "Isabella used to give her chariot and horses for the race and she used to sit on that chariot because of rules, the owner should sit on the chariot."
While eating food Mary told Hero about the race and she also told him that she had seen a new chariot in Isabella's house.
… "Leave everything…" said by Joseph.
After having food, they both went to sleep but Mary was looking sad because she was informed by her friends that in the village, people started talking about her son. They said that next time, they have to go out then they will take Hero and his father for safety.
Angel and Alice both used to sleep together but Angel was looking out from the window and she saw Hero, who was sitting on his bed. She was confused because everyone used to sleep inside their house but he used to sleep outside. Why? This question was eating her from inside and she looked around and found that the candles of the landlord's house were still glowing and she was able to see someone, who was sitting on the window and that person was looking at him.
She knew who she was.
"Isabella."
