2199 Words
Everyone looked terrified at what I had done, especially when I dropped the teacup hovering in mid-air, shattering the cup into bits as it landed on the hard floor. Without changing form, I headed upstairs and moved to the bedroom I was made to stay in, my brother Charlie’s bedroom, I never complained or hated the fact that I had to stay there but probably the alcohol in my system made me mad about literally everything, I suddenly hate the fact that I couldn’t stay in my old body and the fact that Claire had everything and yet still jealous of me that had nothing, I walked up to the bed and jumped in it, bouncing a little as I concentrate on the ceiling before finally dozing off. I was enjoying my pretty sleep and feeling very convenient and comfortable for the first time when my skin suddenly start to tingle and pleasurable sparks started to flow from my arm until it had spread to every part of my body making me moan out from my sleep. “You seem to be enjoying your sleep my queen” My eyes lazily forced themselves open to see Hero bending down on me and planting a kiss on my forehead. “Hero” I called out in surprise. “Yes,” He replied with a smile on his face. “How did you get here?” I asked shocked by his sudden appearance around me. “No I’m not here, just my subconsciousness” He replied straightforwardly and I recalled the memory of his brother doing that as well, it’s a royal power or something. “So that’s why we can feel each other?” I was curious as he continued to caress my arm. “Not really, it's because we have a bond to each other; you’re my mate and could feel my soul even when I’m not in my body” He replied and I frowned at him obviously not enjoying his tortures. “So you are in your parents’ house?” He pulled away on that and I was forced to open the eyes I had been closing to enjoy the feeling of him caressing me. “Where did you expect I’ll go, Hero, I miss my family- “What did you tell them?” He asked hurt flashing on his face. “Everything that happened to me literally- “Claire- “I know you’re pretty close to my parents Hero but what you did was wrong- “I saved your life, I didn’t want to waste it- “If that was it why didn’t you save Nicholas?” I immediately sat up in my bed and rest my back against the headboard while glaring daggers at him feeling really upset already. His face paled and his face fell timid at the mention of the only person I ever truly loved that much. “Because you were selfish Hero, you were selfish and wanted me all for yourself, I was dying…but you didn’t tell my family or my friends there was a solution to that, Nicholas and I would have willingly agreed to it- “The reason you’re alive in that body was that the body recognises you, you wouldn’t have survived if you weren’t my mate Claire, finding the body to carry Nicholas soul would have been impossible because it would mean searching the whole zillion for his alien mate, then transferring his soul into the body of his mate’s mate, and that could only be possible if the mate of his mate was dying like Aira, Claire controlling souls and willing souls have rules Claire, I never even thought you would get Aira’s body, you wouldn’t have; if she was alive and you know it. Maybe I am selfish but it’s impossible either way” Hero explained and I felt my anger subside, maybe the fact that Nicholas was gone forever was what I was so mad about in the first place, after Hero’s explanation, I felt empty. He was right, I might never even get to live again if Aira hadn’t died and I might be left trapped in the jar for the whole of eternity. “Why did you have to trap me then? You could have just let me go? Why do you have to make me go through that suffering” I questioned him and he let out a timid sigh. “Let’s just say I was selfish…I couldn’t handle the thought of you being gone forever so I’m sorry” He apologised and I nodded, I was glad we were finally on the same page, I was no longer mad at him…that much I know. “My team and I are coming to get you so I want you to stay safe and hidden; it’s really dangerous out there. Reports have gotten to me about Ghafils disappearance and I think this is the earth retaliation for the past war, I’m coming there myself so I’ll be able to investigate the matter and maybe form a peace treaty with them or something, that way our people can co-exist peacefully” Hero informed me and I nodded hoping that’ll work out. He placed a kiss on my head and I felt drawn back to sleep and when I wake up, my parents were in my room staring at me with a hard expression on their faces. My head weighed gallons as I force myself up, I hurried to the bathroom and throw up for a few minutes before returning to my anxious parent. “It’s getting usual waking up to see you” I muttered tiredly, stretching my stiff joints. “Is there anything else you’ll like to tell us…I mean is there anything else you’re keeping from us except having a miscarriage and having powers” Immediately my mom spoke, flashes of yesterday’s incident started to register in my brain and I felt myself suddenly regretting drinking so much. “No, I’m sorry” It was all I could manage to say. “Why didn’t you tell us?” My dad asked this time around. “It wouldn’t have made any difference, I mean my baby was gone and you would have been terrified to learn I have powers, you’re already scared of me as it is- “We are not scared of you” My mom immediately defended and I scoffed moving close to them and they instantly moved back. “Are you not?” I asked quirking a brow at them in question, I mean they just showed they were by moving back from me. “We weren’t before you hold in a cup in mid-air without touching it; you really wanna blame us for that?” I heaved a heavy sigh at mom’s form of defence, it was a baseless one; I mean they were scared of me either way. “This is what I was trying to prevent, I wanted to be treated as normal and not like an alien in the house- “But you are an alien” Claire shrugged at the door biting down on a red apple as her gaze fixated on me. “I really think you should leave Claire” I firmly warned. “Why? You’re gonna harm me?” Claire tempted and I scoffed. “You want me to try” I arched a brow at her before raising the reading chair behind me without seeing or touching it while I concentrated my gaze on her. “Claire leave, now” My dad immediately commanded and Claire was forced to leave. “That’s dangerous Claire, you can’t be doing that” My mom said as I slowly lowered the chair to the ground while I sunk on the chair. “Why not, it’s part of me mom. I can’t change it” I replied and my mom bit down on her lips. “Because you’re in love with Hero?” My mom questioned and I frowned. “You muttered in your sleep and you seem to have had a nice conversation with him” My mom looked disappointed and I wanted to scoff. “Seriously mom, he’s my husband- “He’s an alien” My dad reminded and I gave a hysterical laugh. “I’m an alien” I reminded them and they heaved a loud sigh. “What if we could change that?” My dad questioned and I instantly narrowed my face at them. “What are you talking about?” I questioned them and they both shared a knowing look glancing at each other before glancing back at me. “Some officers came by yesterday when you were away and they were asking questions- “Like?” I suddenly feel my anxiousness peaking. “They asked if we have twins and I said no and they showed us camera footage of you, in a hotel, Barb was there in the footage, but thankfully at that time she was upstairs, they said they were from a research institute of space bodies and they believe…an alien was using Claire’s face, so they ask if Claire had come in contact with any alien body since…you know we have a face- “What did you do?” I was suddenly panicking praying they haven’t sold me out. “Nothing, nothing at all we promise. We told them we know nothing about it and only live here with our daughter who school is in New York and only come home for vacations but we asked what they’ll do if by chance they get you and they told us, they were gonna make you human and- “You believe them?” I scoffed like I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from my parents. “Mom, dad…I’m now one of the aliens that tried to take over earth, if we hadn’t stopped them the entire human race would have been wiped off and you think they’re just gonna take me and turn me into a human, is that how you think it works?” My parents exchanged looks again before glancing back at me. “You’re right, they’ll probably harm you” My mom clarified and I nodded. “If not worse, they’ll probably turn me into a lab rat…if you feel threatened by my presence I’ll be leaving soon- “Claire, going back there, is that what you want?” My mom questioned in a worried tone exhaling at intervals like she was having a hard time making a choice for me. “Not necessarily, but it’s what is safe for me” I replied and they nodded understanding my choice before they exit my room, after which I moved downstairs for breakfast and had to use the home cell to call Nick probably help in recharging Barb, the last time I asked her battery percentage it was down to 30%, she needs to get charged otherwise she’ll run flat, after a while of waiting for Nicholas to show up, he finally appeared and I heaved a sigh of relief giving him a brief hug after admiring his casual dressing of thick jacket on top of his dark jeans. “Glad you’re sober now” Nick teased and I laughed. “Please, that memory is still embarrassing” I laughed as I lead him to the sitting room. “I don’t know if it’s possible to get a great power source to power Barb up, you think you can help?” I asked really eager to help Barb, her battery could still last two days but that’s it. “We could get her to the company in Chicago; we have a great powerhouse where we power the whole company since we deal with electricity a lot” Nick was still explaining when Claire appeared with her face showing intense anger. “Do you intend to meet my boyfriend every day Aira? Isn’t that like cheating on your alien husband” her words were offensive but I decided to ignore her but she seems she wasn’t having it. “Why are you hanging around her Claire, can’t you just leave him alone?- “Claire” Nick looked like he was about to lose his cool. “No, do not call me, since she showed up nothing have been going well for us at all, you promised me a date and you still haven’t fulfilled but instead you went on a ride with the alien version of me, I regretted not telling those people that came for her about her, she’s not supposed to be here, she deserves to be in the lab-” That’s it, I snapped….I immediately willed her to the wall of the kitchen doorframe and pressed her to it while furiously squeezing my fingers while she struggled against my invincible hold on her. I didn’t hear anything else until someone pushed me and I hit my head hard on the tiled floor, then I slowly move my hand to my head, which was now bleeding as I turned back to see who pushed me? It was my mom and I could tell by the look of regret on her face. --------------
