Chapter 5 - Meeting Delvic

Alaric enjoyed the dishes made by beth. They were all her favorite.. she took a shower and sat near the fireplace with a book . It was a fantasy book, a gift given to her by Delvic.

She wasnt even reading as her mind wandered in her childhood memories. For as far as she could remember, Delvic had been her friend. She had met that small guy on the apple tree behind her house.

Hey boy come down and how did you climb up there? Are you a monkey? The boy looked young with a pale skin . The boy didn't get down normaly but he swayed from one branch to another that had Alaric screaming leading to Beth coming to check on her. What happened darling? Why are you tou screaming like that. The little Alaric had pointed at the tree . Beth checked but didnt see anything. Did anyone scare you miracle? Granny there is a monkey boy up there..she had said but after looking up there was no one. Did he vanish?

After making sure everything was okey Beth carried the young Alaric to the house. Dont go wandered around. If you want to go somewhere let me know . The young Alaric nodded and beth went inside the house leaving Alaric playing with her toys.

Curiosity took the better part of Alaric and she went back to the apple tree. This time she was carring her kitten. Meow meow .. the kitten meowed as she was dragged by her tail.. shhhhhhhhhh shh be quiet we cant let granny know we aren't in the house. She sat under the apple tree waiting for the boy to show himself, i am very sure i saw that monkey boy . She was not in a hurry to leave maybe the boy will show up eventually . Petting the tiny kitten , do you know i haven't named you yet.. what should i call you, as if on cue, the cat meowed. I will call you kitty since you are a cat. .

That's a terrible name, Alaric heard a voice say. Who is there ? Her little heart was thumbing on her chest , kitty run, she said but the kitten didn't go anywhere.. its me weren't you waiting for me turn around, Alaric was face to face with a very handsome face, a boy with silky wavy hair. Blue eyes and pink lips, His nose was pointed. But there was zero innocence 8n his eyes .

Hey its you monkey boy! I am no monkey, nor am i any boy. You silly girl. The nerve of this girl to call him a monkey, if only she knew what he was. I am Alaric, she introduced herself what is your name then?

Delvic.. he said. Nice meeting you delvic. Can you come to my house? Alaric asked. She had made her first friend on her own. And he looked just like one of his dolls.

Why should i come to your house little missy?, i am a bad bad wolf.. i might take a bite, he had asked

Alaric didnt see any sign of danger in the boy..so as we can play with my toys.

Delvic patted her head, he kinda liked the hair.. see you tomorrow in the evening.. bye and he disappeared
