The young ladies frail body was placed in the comfortable bed
Glug
The sound of water entering the young ladies body
"Just tell me if you're done admiring Mandell"
The elder said to me sounding really concerned..
'She's like a mother..but the elder only meet her not that long ago..and the young lady isn't the elders long lost child either but a total stranger that was found by my Father..so how did the elder began to like the young lady
The water didn't wake the young lady or immediately made her condition be solve ..but comfort can be seen in her face...and I can't possible snatch her away...and even if I did the elder in front of me can kill me without feeling any remorse
"Elder I'll take my leave...seeing that the young lady is still alive is the only thing that I wanted to check"
I said to the elder bowing my head out of respect and fear
I came home it was a house a little smaller than the healer house that belong to the elder...but it was bigger than any house that only have a purpose of being a shelter to a family
What awaited me is my aunt her face was full of bruise and dry blood can be seen in her cheeks but she welcomed me home with a bright smile
"How is your visit?."
She asked I don't have anything along with me not even a single bag so she probably know that my visit to the elder didn't go well and I failed from getting the human father has asked me to take..but why would my aunt ask me a obvious question I have no idea myself
"Oh your back so where is the human!"
My mother hugged me tightly and immediately asked for the human that I was supposed to bring
She didn't have any scratch on her and her beauty is one that could rival the young lady so maybe that's why she doesn't get beaten?
"Mother..,I meet with the elder"
I said to my mother which to no surprise made her extremely mad..but even with his veins popping out her beautiful face still remains
"That old hag"
She mumbled as she clinch his furry fist..her hand loosen when she looked directly to my eyes and asked
"So where's the human"
A direct question that I answer with a silence..a answer that she completely understood the meaning of
"You worthless child!"
She shouted directly to my face.....it stings a little..but I already experienced it a lot of times so I shouldn't cry like last time
I'm normal or mediocre wouldn't fit to characterise me I was useless and a garbage a humakey that couldn't accomplish a single thing he was asked to do
I let a human escape out of our family
I give it to an elder
And I couldn't take her back
I'm useless
I even told myself that I would try snatching the young lady and die by the elder trying to take the young lady back....but I was to scared to even move according to what I wanted to..I guess I'm also a coward
I bit my lips and tried not to show my true feelings the word that my family used against me hurt much more than the attack I recieved from the elder...
"Nata! get your useless son away from me..he's dirtying the air"
She shouted...it really hurts not physically but mentally.
I look to the ground not wanting to see my mother's face. as she is rather extremely angry or disappointed and I don't want to see that
"Sigh..its a simple thing to do child!,"
My father immedietly shouted when he arrive in the front of the house....the place that I was stuck in...not able to move cause of the warm welcome and insult that I recieved
"You know what..come with me"
My father said with his every word sounding very furious I couldn't dare look to what face he was making and just nod
I walk straight to the door inside our house with my head down low,
I look to my aunt and mother who was chatting behind me, it made my eyes big and realise what would happen
I saw my aunts worried face a expression that I only once saw when I was eight or nine years old,
It was the time that I accidentally broke a wooden painting by accident while I was playing...and the one who saw that one accident is aunt with his worried face...and second after that is me being brutally beaten by my own father
Seeing her making that face bring back many sad and memories I would want to forget..I wished I didn't look back just to see her
With my aunts face as a clue I looked toward my father to ask where we are heading..but it was to late
Everything become black as why I blackout I have no clue I didn't even feel something that could have hit my body or felt something was off when I woke up..it was a bizarre feeling of suddenly fainting without any reason
"Did you have a good sleep child"
My father's voice woke me up. I immediately stand up as I felt quite energized.
I looked around and saw...stone, I saw boulders and stone carved together forming a big statue of a being I don't know or heard of
"So do you like it?"
My father asked, and as someone who have no idea what is going on, I didn't answered him and said
"Where am I!, father where are we"
I asked while looking around and just like what I did my father didn't answer me and just said
"Where is the human?"
He asked me such an obvious question..that answering a lie wouldn't even be possible
"I couldn't do it"
"What did you say?"
He said it's like he was expecting the human even thought I don't have her..
"They...the human is with an elder"
I said looking on the ground feeling quite miserable that I need to find an excuse to my own weakness
"What!, I don't need your excuse I told you to bring me the human! "
My father angrily roared at me
