Ungrateful brat

He reaches out to my head and…

“OW, bloody hell, what in freaking world did you do”

“ Helping you, angel”

It's the first time he called me like that, It's- weird… coming out of the mouth of someone who isn't that close to me.

“ How is plucking my hair, Helping?”

“It is helping if I’m taking out hay tangled In your hair.”

I scoff, ridiculous who does he think he is

“don’t you dare think I didn’t notice, I saw the hay in your hand before in my head”

He raises his hands in the air,

“Okay, okay…. You caught me but-”

He crosses his arms and stares into me,

“I’d probably do anything to get a little more closer to you”

I sigh as I shake my head,

“C’mon Talya’s man, we have got work to do”

“So the horse name is Talya”

“So you agree being her man?”

“Why, jealous?”

“You really need to know what shame is”

He gives a peasant smile and we start walking towards the pen.

2 hours passed with the silent treatment.

“How about we take a 5, we have on about for 2 hour continuous”

“Sounds good”

We sat down under a banyan tree with the awkward silence filling the space…I didn’t like…I broke it.

“So…how are you feeling? About you brother thing to be clear”

“Worried if I wanted to sum it up in one word, he is not a kid but still worried”

“Grew up close huh?”

He looks down and lets out a non humours laugh,

“No, well…always compared, fought, ridiculed… even if we wanted to look out for each other we were punished”

“I see why you wanted to leave that place”

“Yah, so what about you”

“That, is a story I’ll never tell a royal like you about”

He scoffs

“Fine angel, as you wish.”

“Well then, I’ll get going”

“Wait, why?”

“I was supposed to help, not do your job”

“Fair”

I get up and start walking out of there.

“Another time?” he shouts so I could hear

“Another time then” I say as I walk out of there smiling.

...----------------...

Even though our area has everything we could need like farms for vegetables, fruits and a barn for animals. A supply we don’t have enough is fish and all other aquatic beings. So every full moon I come out of the avenue to the human world to get some fish to stock up at least for 2 weeks. The freezers we have are kept by icelings, they have ice power. They are basically Elsa as the human beings call them. The first ever iceling who came to the human realm was Elsa, a human spotted her powers. Fortunately his memory was erased but he thought the whole thing was a dream and wrote about it.

I was about to walk into the shop before I saw a tall guy being scolded by the old lady at the stall. I walked towards them to see what was going on. It seemed that he tried to take fruits without paying. I went closer only to realise that he was a celestial. I could feel his energy, a very strong one too. He wore a black mask and hat to cover his face. Couldn’t see his eyes either, he kept his head down. He covered himself with a dark blanket from his shoulder to toe. Couldn’t make out his figure either.

He was our kind of course I have to help.

“How much is the total?”

I ask the old lady. Startled, she replied.

“20 bucks, you know this lad?”

I handed her the money, completely ignoring the question she followed up. I got the bag she was holding and handed it to him.

He then took the bag and just left. I just stood there in shock knowing I didn’t receive even a thank you.

“Ungrateful brat” scoffs the old lady.

I go on with my work.

...----------------...

I ordered all the fish we needed for the fiestas, I’d pick it up a week later with Lyra. I start walking with my head low in case there were any guards lurking. I suddenly hear thuds, loud ones that too. But no one on the pathway seems to hear it. I walk towards the sound. When I saw blood at the entrance of MY ALLEYWAY.

I didn’t think about changing it, okay, horrible name I know.

Worry floods my mind. I feel hate for myself knowing I’m too kind to this world. I walk inside and duck as a body is thrown right at me missing me by inches. I looked up to see who it was, it was him….
