Chapter 5 - Her luggages

Anna didn't register what Leon had said at first until when she turned and realized want he meant.

"I'm supposed to get it from him?" She exclaimed immediately she turned around.

Leon hummed looking at her.

"Could you help me to collect it from him?" She asked him politely, pouting her lips playfully.

   "From Xander?" He asked

   "Who else?" She refuted

   "Xander's room is restricted." He said with a smile.

   "Restricted?" Anna murmured, bewildered.

"Yes, he hates being disturbed especially when he is room" Leon stated seeing that she was uncomfortable at the fact that she has to retrieve her things by going to Xander's bedroom.

"So weird" Anna muttered under her breath but Leon was quick to catch her words.

Leon had asked the human girl to retrieve her things herself because Xander didn't like anyone entering his room or even knocking on the door.

Xander was strict and his anger was something no one under this roof would like to witness.

But the girl was a human and also new here. So, Xander wouldn't mind if the girl came knocking on the door.

He would surely get angry but he won't vent his anger out on the girl and just warn her not disturb him ever again.

   "He's weirder than this" Leon muttered under his breath.

   "I'll..." She was about to say something but Leon beat her to it.

   "Alexa and Andrew were mad about how you had spoken a while ago" He said

   "Did I talk rudely?" Anna asked

   "Kind of." He said and shrugged his shoulders.

   "I didn't mean to offend her. I didn't know refusing her handshake would hurt her feelings." Anna explained feeling sad that she had offended someone she had just met today.

She didn't mean to offend. Louis had told her about suoernaturals' pride especially when it came to humans. She was taken aback when the supernatural had wanted to shake hands with her

  Leon seeing the sad expression on the human's face smiled."Don't worry, Alexa doesn't take such things to heart" He reassured, the smile still plastered on his handsome face.

   "I hope so." She said and smiled back. "I don't think I will be able to sleep well this night without my things."

   "You are welcome to stay here with me all night." He said and smiled at her  teasingly. A small blush crept to Anna's face. She was about to reject his offer when...

   "Still awake?" Xander's deep voice was heard behind her as she turned back and saw him standing not too far from her.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest seeing him standing there wearing just a plain white shirt and black pants.His hair was disheveled and messy which made him look like a Greek god.

His hair was definitely still wet because of the way it fell covering his forehead.

Gosh, how could he be so handsome?

"Is there a problem?" Xander asked, breaking Anna's gaze on him as she looked away nodding her head.

Her face had turned red out of embarrassment because she had been staring at him for so long.

"Follow me" Xander said as he began to walk up the stairs as she trailed behind him.

Anna couldn't help but stare at him as she walked closely behind him.

His shirt stretched taut across his broad back. The stripes on his shirt emphasized his broad shoulders. Every step he took exuded confidence.

They finally stopped in front of his room and she noticed his bedroom was just across of hers.

He opened his bedroom door and entered inside leaving her standing outside like a statue. She couldn't even get a glimpse of inside the room.

   "You have such an alluring guardian, Anna. You really hit the jackpot." She mumbled under her breath then the door opened immediately which made her take three steps back.

   "Your luggages" He spoke and passed the two suitcase to her.

Thankfully the suitcases were not heavy because most of her things were not in the top walls but in the apartment she stayed in the city.

"I won't be this generous the next time" She heard his voice say as she tried getting hold of the two suitcase at the same time.

  She looked up at him and gave him a bitter smile. "There won't be a next time" She uttered and turned around with the luggages and took four more steps and entered her bedroom.

   Xander watched her enter her room before he entered his room.

                            *****

   Anna put the suitcases aside as she sat on her bed as she was happy she had finally gotten her stuffs.

She wasn't feeling sleepy because she had slept off the first time thinking It wasn't possible to sleep peacefully in a house full of supernaturnals which doesn't want any association with her kind.

The dark haired guy had reassured her about her safety because no one can hurt her because of Xander but she doesn't even trust him at all.

   She felt safer with Leon than with xander. Leon was nice and cool and he has a cool demeanor unlike Xander whose aura unnerved her.

She had felt Leon's aura and it was calm and different from Xander's. Even his teammates' aura was different from Xander.

She cannot help but wonder what makes her guardian so different from the other supernaturals she had come across. His aura felt potent and intimidating. She felt goosebumps on her skin as she remembered how she felt when her eyes had meant his when she had walked into the meeting room earlier that day.

   Is the aura of  a leader different from that of others. He is a leader that definitely means he is very strong but the headmaster is definitely stronger than the leader. Louis' aura was calm and didn't make her uneasy.

   She wondered how she was going to stay around him. But she was happy she only got to spend her weekends here. Her weekdays are supposed to be spent in the city.

She has to go to school and staying in the top walls didn't mean she could attend the supernatural academy.

It was a lot of work going to school while she lived in the top walls and that was why Louis had allowed her to get a small apartment in the city and she could stay there and go to school from there and during the weekends she would go to the top walls.

And tomorrow was just the beginning of her weekend.

   She stood up and began to unpack because she wasn't sure if she was going to get any sleep tonight again. She was going to unpack and read some books throughout the night. She would have chatted her friend up but she knew Georgia was the type who never played with her bed time and would be asleep by now.

*****

   Anna yawned as she opened her eyes lazily. She got up from the couch she had fallen asleep on.

She had never fallen asleep on the couch before. She didn't even know how and when she fell asleep on the couch all she knew was that she took a shower and put on her pajamas and she sat on the couch reading a book that she had borrowed from her school library and after that...

   She heard noises outside as she frowned deeply her vision was still kind of blur because she hadn't gotten enough sleep.

   "That's weird Louis never have visitors..." She began to say when she snapped her eyes open and looked around her and saw her surroundings have changed. The memories of last night came flooding back

   Oh my Gosh!!!

   She was in the lion's den. She quickly held her mouth with her hand. She was surprised she had slept so well. She checked the alarm clock at her bedside.

    8: 00 am

   It was too early. She took her bath but there was no dryer for her to dry her hair. She wore a shirt and pants and got ready to leave the comfort of her room.

   Anna opened the door and left her bedroom to the living room. She heard noises in the kitchen and went to the kitchen. Leon was chopping onions while Alexa sat down not too far from him.

   "Good morning" Leon greeted with a smile on his face his eyes dazzling.

   "Good morning" Anna greeted as she returned his smile. Alexa just waved at her.

   "Hungry?" Leon asked her as he continued chopping the onions like a real professional.

   "Maybe" She said "What are you cooking?" Anna asked, watching Leon chopping the onions.

   "It's your first breakfast with us so I want to make a feast just for you." Leon said

   "Leon is the best cook. His recipes are superb." Alexa spoke smiling at her.

She was happy the supernatural wasn't angry at her because of yesterday. Maybe Leon was right about her.

   "Seriously?" Anna asked

   "Just wait to taste his magical hands" Alexa spoke highly of Leon and Leon couldn't help but smile widely.

   "Apple?" Alexa asked Anna. Anna nodded her head and Alexa passed her an apple.

   "Thanks"

   "Your hair is damn wet" Alexa said

   "I don't have a dryer..." Before Anna knew it Alexa was already standing next to her and touched her hair.

   " Blonde hair, very silky, very full and dazzling..." She commented staring at her hair. She brought her nose near Anna's hair and sniffed it as Anna took a two steps away from her. "And it smells really nice"

   "Okay" Anna said and gave her a wry smile while Leon chuckled seeing Anna's uneasiness.

   "Alexa is always like this whenever she sees a perfect hair" Leon said and chuckled again.

   "Have you seen my hair. I don't even want to talk about it." She said as Anna smiled awkwardly.

   "It isn't bad." Anna said as stared at her. Anna wasn't lying, her hair was okay. She had short wavy brown hair that reached her shoulder length which complimented her beauty.

  "She got a fake hair made by a witch." Leon said which made Anna's mouth form an 'O' shape.

"Isn't that illegal?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, it is. But she didn't get caught." Leon answered her.

 

"You should use my dryer." Alexa said and held Anna's hand leading her out of the kitchen.

   Leon chuckled seeing Alexa trying her best to get along with the human girl.
