CHAPTER SIX: MY CUTE ENEMY.

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-29 20:25:04

MELONIE'S POV:

I grabbed Clara by the hand, “let's go in,” I stated and she smiled at me warmly.

Arlo also came forward, “Where are you going?” He asked curiously.

“Where else, dummy? Should I remain out here? I was told this whole building was mine. And please, stop monitoring me already, it's not like I can leave this place,” I retorted, rolling my eyes.

“Hey!” Arwan called and I froze, “We begin training tomorrow morning, get ready,” he announced firmly.

“Don't tell me what to do, you heartless kidnapper,” I growled and walked away, dragging Clara along.

We got in and I picked my room, Clara also picked hers and so did Arlo and Arwan.

Arwan's room was opposite mine, Clara's was beside and Arlo's was opposite Clara's.

“Oh my God! I've never had a room since I was born here,” Clara Swooned delightfully.

I looked at my well-prepared room; I was satisfied with it, but I still wasn't satisfied with the new, strange world.

We went down for dinner and after dinner, I stormed straight to my room.

“You are going to bed now?” Clara asked from behind.

“Yes, I still haven't wrapped my head around things and the new changes in my life,” I replied truthfully.

“You should hurry up, you don't really have a lot of time, you have a lot of enemies when they sniff you down here, your life would be tragic,” Arlo announced cruelly.

“Can you all please stop singing to my ears that I won't have peace? You think it's fun huh? Do you find it funny?” I yelled with a serious face.

“It's part of accepting who you are, Melonie,” Arlo yelled back dramatically.

“Right! That I shouldn't have been born? That I am a nightmare, a forbidden seed? That my fate is full of pain, trauma and heartbreak? That I would never be happy because I keep getting hunted down like a grasshopper? That a lot of beings out there either want me dead or want to use me as a weapon? How sweet a life that is!” I screamed, sarcasm dripping.

“That's why you need to be strong, you need to accept it and train yourself so you can protect yourself. Melonie if you discover who you truly are, nobody can hurt you,” Clara added thoughtfully.

“Training starts tomorrow,” Arwan mumbled out of the blue.

“Can you please just shut up with your training shit? You are the cause of everything, you brought me here,” I snapped at him rudely and he just ignored me, focusing on his meal.

“I did what I was told to do, you were in danger,” he calmly defended.

“Then let me. It's my death, not yours… Fuck you Arwan!” I snarled.

“Don't talk to him like that Melonie, he did nothing wrong,” Arlo protested, jumping into the discussion.

I sent him a bombastic side eye, “Shut up you too! You never told me anything even if you knew everything,” I attacked.

“We can't let you fall into the wrong person's hands,” Clara softly explained.

“And how am I sure you all are not the wrong people?” I retorted, gawking at her.

“Just trust us,” Arlo rasped, pausing his lips.

“Oops! I have trust issues,” I snapped back.

“Melonie…” Arlo menacingly muttered.

I threw my hands up in the air, “Please leave me alone. You can't expect me to accept all these sour desserts all at once, I didn't choose this life. All I wanted was to live a normal life but now, my life is fucked up. Because I'm one Melonie Aeron, a forbidden seed and a nightmare to realms.” I snapped back and flooded into my room.

“I'll talk to her,” Clara stated and trailed behind me while Arwan simply focused on his meal like he didn't give a fuck.

“Melonie, who you are is a blessing,” Clara stated, trailing behind me.

“No Clara. Who I am, is a curse! I am a curse and you know it, deep down, you are scared of me just like everyone else. You are scared that I would hurt you,” I announced firmly.

“You are wrong. I am anxious, Anxious that there are a lot of threats around us right now and more to come if they realize where you are. If you keep acting childish, you will get us all killed. Put this into consideration and stop being selfish, the fate of thousands of people in this realm is dancing in your palms… don't quash it. We are all here to help you, put your trust issues aside and let us help you grow,” she responded truthfully.

I stared at her reluctantly and then muttered “I'm sorry, I - I can't!” I responded calmly and walked into my room, locking the door behind me.

I walked to my bed to sit, brushing my hair back with the tip of my fingers in frustration.

Suddenly, the door shook violently as a loud, thunderous kick crashed against it. The sound was like a crack of lightning, sudden and intense, and it seemed to reverberate through every cell of my body.

I watched in horror as the door creaked and groaned, the lock straining against the force of the kick. For a moment, it seemed like the door would hold, but then, with a sickening crunch, the lock gave way, and the door burst open, splintering and cracking as it swung wildly on its hinges.

Arwan stood in the entrance, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. He was a towering figure, his presence seeming to fill the entire room, and I felt a shiver run down my spine as he took a step forward, gawking at me fearlessly.

The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the weight of his gaze upon me. I tried to speak, to ask him what he wanted, but my voice caught in my throat, and all that came out was a faint whisper. “Do you realize that I can burn you right now?”

He took another step forward, his eyes never leaving mine, and I felt a sense of dread wash over me.

“Do you know that I could kill you right now?” He retorted rudely.

I was lost in the moment, my eyes locked on his, as he moved closer to me. The noise of the crowded room faded into the background, and all I could focus on was the intense gaze of the handsome man in front of me.

Suddenly, without warning, he reached out and pulled me close, his arms wrapping around me like a vice, his warm breath on my skin, sending shivers down my spine.

For a moment, we just stood there, frozen in time, as the world around us melted away. I felt like I was drowning in the depths of his eyes, unable to look away or break free from his grasp.

Then, without a word, Arwan leaned in closer, “I know you think you are powerful and everyone should be scared of you, But I could kill you without glitching or rethinking. I am ancient, the only surviving oldest in this realm after my mother, and you are just an eighteen-year-old hybrid yet to discover her powers. Remember that! I'm yet to uncover someone who can win against me, and it's definitely not you. If you yell at me again - I'll teach you a lesson hard to forget, fromnow on, you listen to me. Do you understand?” His thick manly voice echoed out.

“I must have been swallowed by all the problems in my life, because why am I just noticing that his cuteness is life-threatening.”

She stared at me calmly, “I'm not mad at you Melonie… I'm just - Anxious and…”“I know. And I'm anxious too, I'm at the centre of all this trouble.

Your daddy?”“Fuck you Arwan,” I retorted displeased.Ignoring me, he pointed towards a direction facing him, “Come here!”Without arguing, I walked closer, kicking my legs and throwing my arms to gather my strength.“Clean up this room,” he declared.I stared at him, rolling my eyes, “Sorry?”“Your first lesson would be manners, you lack that,” he responded calmly.“Are you fine? Are you sure you are not hungry or tasty? Or maybe you are pressed. Go on, take a poop. I'll be waiting if it'll make you feel better,” I snarled.He walked closer to me, his shadow covering my entire existence, “Talk to me disrespectfully again and watch me slap you into next week.

Stay here, go into your room and lock the door and windows. It's safer that way.”“You broke the lock,” I stated in remembrance.He paused for a while as if trying to verify what I said, “Then go into mine.”Arwan left the building I was, into the main building to save others, I couldn't explain it, but strangely, there was this force pulling me to him.“Arwan,” I murmured in fear.I trailed behind him, and for a reason, I could barely leave him to get hurt, even if there was barely anything I could do.“Everyone, vacate this building and move into Mel

Jump in front of those things and get snapped in two? Gosh, you all never loved me,” I retorted firmly.My gaze fell on Arwan. Although everyone was scared, he seemed to be deep in thought, trying to come up with a solution. “I'll lead them away from the building,” Arwan blurted out.“That's ridiculous,” I spat back, “No Arwan. That's a terrible idea! You can't do that.”“I have less of a choice right now,” he defended, “That door will not hold, a lot of people will die. Our realm will be wiped and emptied, never to be remembered.”“THOSE DEADLY THINGS WILL KILL YOU!” I yelled out in panic, “They are not one or two; there are a lot out there, waiting to tear us apart like over boiled chickens.”Arwan took steps closer to me, “I know Melonie, but

I explained.Arlo nodded in understanding, “It would have been weird if that didn't happen. She literally saved us all.”A warm smile spread across my face, “She saved me.”It took hours, before Melonie calmly opened her eyes, “Where am I?” She asked, looking around.A teasing smirk appeared on my face, “In heaven, you died a while ago.”She scoffed out loud, struggling to get up, “Jokes on you.”**🥀**MELONIE'S POV:I could barely feel myself, my body ached from the fight and overuse of power.“Can you stand?” Arwan asked calmly.I nodded in approval, “Yes.

It's just…”I turned towards her with a serious face, “It's just…” I encouraged her to keep talking.“Melonie, I saw you transform yesterday,” she explained. “I have never seen such a powerful creature in my life.

Memories of our time together flooded my thoughts, and I couldn't help but smile.I remembered the way he used to make me laugh, the way his eyes would sparkle with mischief when he was teasing me. I remembered the way he would hold my hand, his fingers intertwined with mine in a gentle, loving grasp.As I sat there, lost in thought, I could almost feel his presence around me. I could smell him, and hear the sound of his voice whispering in my ear. It was as if he was right here with me, and my heart swel

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀With a bright light that almost left us blind, Our Alpha Vargus disappeared, alongside Angel Gabriel.Leaving us, broken and lonely.Honestly, I wanted to close my eyes and never wake up, because just when we were almost at the end, things became unbearable.We lost a lot of people on this journey, and I feel like I'm the one to blame.If only I hadn't walked into this world, or maybe if I wasn't too stubborn and had not gone in search of my father if only I hadn't resurrected Arwan or if I hadn't gotten attached to Alastor and killed him when I had the chance rather than praying for a change, things wouldn't have graduated into this.We were mourning too many people, because of me.I walked closer to Clara who crumbled underneath a table weeping.“Clara,” I called softly.“Get away from me,” she retorted, breathing heavily.She hasn't tasted food or water for a while, and I was starting to think she might probably die before Arlo returns.“Arlo would be here soon,

I might want Arlo alive but I don’t want you dead.”“Are you sure about that?” I asked sadly, “Clara, are you sure you mind me dying for Arlo to come back to life? I never existed to you.”“But that doesn't mean I want you dead,” she cried out, slamming her eyes shut as tears poured, “I might have been too occupied with Arlo finally being with me but that doesn't mean I don't notice that you are around Vargus.”“You have 10 seconds to change your mind, if not the process would begin.” Angel Gabriel declared.I looked back at him with tears-fille

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀We sat in the hall, surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, but the atmosphere was heavy with sadness. Every single member of the family was struggling to come to terms with whatever damn scene was going on.Bruno's eyes cast downward, his shoulders slumped in defeat. Othello sat beside him, his eyes red from crying. He had been struggling to accept that Arwan was now a dragon, a god.Arlo and Clara sat on the floor, their faces sombre. Our usual warmth and laughter were replaced with an uncomfortable silence. No one knew how to lift the gloom that had settled over us. We all felt lost and alone, each struggling to cope with our sorrows.As the evening wore on, the sadness seemed to deepen, filling every corner of the room.I was a shadow of myself, even my shadow was hopeless. For a fact, I was far more dead than the Arwan in question. My eyes, red and puffy from the emotional release, felt heavy and tired.The sobs that had wracked my body had finally sub

The air was alive with electricity, and the wind howled with a voice that was both fierce and beautiful. It whipped his hair into a frenzy; his clothes were torn and buffeted, threatening to rip from his body at any moment.Suddenly, a brilliant flash of lightning illuminated the sky, the sound that followed was like nothing else in nature, another deafening, earth-shaking crash of thunder that seemed to shake the very foundations of the earth.Arwan’s body began
