Chapter : 4. The weird new guy..

2160 Words
Faith’s point of view :- -------------------------- “Okay guys. Tell me a truth. Did you guys feel a strange aura around that new boy? Or is it just me who is getting scared of everything today?” I asked my entire group at lunch time. We are six peoples in our group. Me, Hope, Truce, Mirth, Callum, and Emily. We always hang out together. Even though we tried to get rid of all the boys and have a girls’ group, but our brothers aren’t leaving our side for a moment. They think we are still babies who need their protection all the time. Joys of having two overprotective alpha king brothers. “OMG! You felt that too? I thought it was only me?” Hope instantly jumped up in excitement. “Yeah. I felt it too.” Emily also agreed to it. “Not only you guys, we felt that aura too. That guy is really weird. By his scent, we realized that he is a werewolf and an alpha in kind. But I have never come forward an alpha with such darkness.” Mirth exclaimed. “Is there any possibility that he is from the Dark Moon Followers’ group?” My eyes got wide to hear Callum’s words. Is there actually a chance for him to be a Dark Moon Follower? “No. That is impossible. Dark Moon Followers are like wild animals. They can never get into civilization like a normal person. All they know is how to kill. Not study like an elite. He must be from some far away pack.” Truce’s words are also true. We have never seen a Dark Moon follower in civilization. All they do is make plans against us and try to break the unity among us. “Yeah. He is right. And besides, he smells like an Alpha, or maybe an alpha’s son. As much as I know, there is only one Dark Alpha and he will never let another alpha stay in his pack.” “Maybe you are right, Callum. But no matter who he is, I want you girls to keep a distance from him. He dosen’t look like a nice guy and I don’t want any of you to get hurt.” “I am with Mirth in this decision. Stay away from him at any cost. And if he tries to bother you, tell it to us immediately. We will take care of him.” Truce warned us by pointing his finger at all three of us. “Can you guys stop now? We are not kids. We can take care of ourselves. We don’t need any overprotective brothers hanging up on our head all the time.” I told them and rolled my eyes at them in irritation. “We are not dying to help you as well. It’s our dads order to take care of their princesses. And we are just doing our duty.” Hope was going to reply to Mirth lie, when Emily stopped us. “Guys. Stop.. He is coming right this way.” I was sitting beside Emily, so I got the hit of her elbow while she was trying to show us that weird boy. We all followed her eyes to find that he was coming right in our way. His face is still covered by the hoodie, like it was in all classes. But why is he hiding his face all the time? Unfortunately, he came to sit right on the table beside us, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. And to make it worse, his face was right towards us and we can feel the heat of his intense stare on us. ‘Is he actually looking at us, or am I just feeling like it?’ Hope contacted me in our mind link to express her feelings. Some times we use our mind link to connect to each other so that our brothers can’t hear us. We don’t want them to know everything we discuss. Especially situations like this because if they find out that he is making us uncomfortable, they will surely start a fight with him. ‘He is actually looking at us. Look closely. You can see the white part of his eyes glowing towards us.’ ‘Oh My God. You are right. What should we do? If Truce and Mirth finds out, they will make all of in trouble.’ ‘Stay quiet. Don’t look at him and try t pretend like nothing is happening.’ I suggest what I can think best at this time. ‘How? It’s feels so weird. He is scaring me now.’ ‘Stay still..’ I said it a bit loud because I saw she was starting to move in her place uncomfortably. “Why aren’t you two eating anything? Lunch break is almost over. Finish your food.” Oh no.. Why does Emily have to point it out right now? “Is everything okay? Do you need anything?” Hope and I both got scared when Emily’s words attracted Truce and Mirth, both attention. “No.. Nothing happ..” I was trying to cover up the situation. But before I do, a human boy came into the scene. “Hey freak. Why are you still hiding yourself? Show us that pretty little face of yours. Take off the hoody.” He is one of the schools bully, who likes to tease people for joy. Thankfully, we are old and strong. And we have a special reputation in this school to get safe from this type of tortures. “Why are you still waiting, new guy? Do you want me to do that for you?” That guy named Gordon still didn't give any reply and sat there quietly. “Fine. Boys, take it off.” He ordered two of his followers and in a blink of an eye, they removed the hoody out of his head, revealing his entire face. A gasp filled the entire cafeteria by seeing his face. Even we were also shocked. I have to admit that he is a very handsome looking guy with a strong jawline, sharp black eyes, ruffled short hair, and trimmed light beard. But the scar on his face was what made everyone shocked. It was starting from his forehead, through his right eye, to the end of his jaw, taking over an entire side of his face. It was an awful mark. “Is that a claw mark?” Emily whispered to us. “Yes, it is..” Hope replied to her with the shame shocked expression as mine. “Ugh.. What is that? You look ugly bro.. That mark is hideous..” That human boy exclaimed without knowing what did that mark on his face. If he knew, he might have never dared to say such a thing to him. Gordon was sitting perfectly still until he called him hideous. Hearing his hateful words, something triggered inside of him and he stood up from his chair. A growl echoed through the cafeteria, making all the humans scared of his unique sound. But we know what is going to happen now. “Wow.. Calm down, boy. I was just kidding..” Before that boy can explain himself, a punch on his stomach made him stumble a few feet back and fall on the ground with pain. All of us jumped up to see them starting an unnecessary fight. Gordon was going to attack him again. But before he can take another step forward, Truce and Mirth stepped in and stopped him. “Relax. You can't fight here like this. It's against the rules. You know what I mean. Get back in your seat and leave that boy alone.” Truce talked to him and tried to remind him about the rules. According to the rules, werewolves are not allowed to show their powers in front of a human or harm a human at any cost. If they find out about our existence this way, they will never trust us again and the mission of bringing rest of the world together will never succeed. We have to think calmly and take steps patiently. Gordon understood what he meant. So, he slowly backed off. Turning around, he looked at us once before grabbing his belongings and storming out of the cafeteria. This guy is really a weird one. After that incident, we didn’t see him in any of the next classes. Did he bunk the classes on his first day? But why should we care? We spend the rest of the day peacefully and calmly. After the classes ends, we went out together while sharing the incident that happend with me this morning in the forest. To my surprise, Callum and Emily also think that it was a bear. How can I make them understand that it was not a bear? Bears can’t radiate such power or darkness. Or maybe I am the one who is giving way too much thought to it. Maybe after we get back home, our parents can give further information about it. Finally, we all got in our car and went home. Once we reached there, we were exhausted. Like always, Callum volunteered to carry our bags. He takes care of me and Hope like we are his sisters as well. He loves us a lot. But not everyone looks it in our way. To everyone else, it’s love. Not like brother and sister. More like a mate’s love. “Girls. You are doing it again. He likes to help you, that dosen’t mean you will let him do all of your works all the time?” As expected, our mom was the first one to say it. “Relax mom. It’s just two bags.. He can carry it. He is strong. See..” I said while showing her Callum’s muscles. “Let them do their thing, Cassia. We boys always like to treat our girls like queens.” Uncle Oliver (the mermaid leader) came to the living room and joined our mom. “Not you too.. Uncle Oliver.. How many times have we said that he is like a brother to us and nothing more..” Hope expressed my feeling with her words as well. “Yeah.. We will see when you turn 16.” “Mom.. Please, can we drop the matter? There are far more important things to discuss. Did uncle Ryan check for that creature?” My mind was still roaming with that question. So, I asked for it first. “Which creature? Oh! The one you saw today? Yes. Your dads and Ryan went to search the forest. They didn’t find anything with that description there. Are you sure you saw it correct?” “Yes mom. I saw it from this close. It was there. It was right there. It was looking at me with those red eyes. And I was scared. I was...” “Calm down Faith. If you saw it, then it was probably there. It must have gotten scared like you and ran back where it came from. The forest is safe now. And I will tell everyone to keep their eyes open just in case it returns. Don’t be scared.” Mom took me into a hug and caressed my hair to help me calm down. I took a long breath and relaxed myself. “Sorry. I panicked out like that. If you say that there is nothing, it must have run off. Thank you for believing me, mom.” “You’re welcome. You must be tired from the first day of school. Go and take some rest. I will prepare some snacks for all of you.” Everyone was standing there silently by seeing my sudden outbursts. Once I was done talking to mom, all the members of my group came to me and took me in a big hug. The rest of the worry that I had till now, got vanished like thin air and my mind became fresh. “You can let go of me now. You guys stink..” They burst out in laughter and we all went to our rooms. After taking a nice cold shower and cleaning off the sweat of all day, I finally felt fresh. Once we were all cleaned up, all of us went downstairs to have our snacks. There we fought with each other a bit more to show who can eat faster. Sometimes we can become a handful for our parents, when sometimes they become handful for us. The best time of the day is the dinner time. After doing our housework, we join everyone at the dinner table. It is the only time when all of us family members get together and have a fun meal together. Yes, it becomes loud and fussy with all those people in one room. But we love it as we get to spend time some happy time with them.
