chapter 5

" so tell me , why are you in the shops , and how did u find your way here , it's quite far from home " Liam asked as we paid for our groceries , with little Rory resting her tiny head on her father's shoulder , i still can't believe she is his , if it weren't for the eyes resemblance i wouldn't believe it , she is just so cute !.

"Well , i was actually looking for a job , but i have no luck , i guess i will wait a week or so , maybe then i will find one , and as for the stores , i don't really know how i got here , i was at a restaurant near by and i saw the shops so i thought i could come and get the stuff i need for my chocolate flan as my brother may step by " i said , and oh my god i didn't realize how long i have been talking if it weren't for the sight of his car , i never spoke so freely with someone like this other than my brother , i was in a good mood , i looked up at the sky and sure it's pure blue , so clear and beautiful , i looked at Liam and found him studying me .

" what ?" I asked feeling nervous with no apparent reason.

He just smiled and said " it's a beautiful day isn't it ? " i nodded , and then he laughed surprising me " what's so funny ?" I asked fighting the urge to smile myself .

" It's just i got my wish after all , now shall we continue with our tour , ma lady " he said with his cute curtsy and i just laughed , as the thought of what might happen next crawled to my head but i pushed it aside , i will just enjoy the tiny moment and hope this day ends well .

"Sure " i said , after almost two hours , Liam has showed me around , he even introduced me to his neighbor , uncle Paul as everyone calls him , a very nice man , his wife died a few years ago and left him all alone with no children , i felt my heart ache for him .

" I know just how you feel " i said putting my hand on his for comfort , he smiled at me , and i found comfort in his smile , so warm .

" And why would a beautiful girl your age would feel such loss ?" He asked and i felt embarrassed by his words , i saw Liam watching me closely .

" My parents died when i was 12 , so i know how it feels to be left alone " i said , and i swear i saw Liam holding his breath , i wonder what's wrong with him .

" Then it's a sign , you were meant to come here to have a father and for me to have a beautiful daughter like you " he said and i giggled , for a moment then i regretted my decision , i forgot who I am , what I am capable of , i stared the two men and little girl in front of me , and i felt fear of what might happen to them because of me , i can't let this happen , i have to protect them or i will never forgive myself .

Both men looked at me questioningly at my expression , but i had to get out of here , i had to run , i sensed the change in the weather and i fought for control or they will know , i ran , as fast as i can , i have to stay away , i heard Liam calling my name but i ignored him , i kept running recalling the way Liam showed me to home , i followed his directions and sighed a sigh of relief when i was at my front door , the sky was dark now , almost filled with heavy clouds waiting on me to shed my first year to pour it's content on this innocent village , i searched for my key and cursed when i remembered i put my purse in Liam's car , i sat on my front porch waiting for him , my mind kept thinking wildly , about everything , why did i have such power over the world , why me , why can't i live a normal life like every other human , why can't i be normal , sometimes i wondered if any of my parents had a similar power , who would it be ?, in situations like this i miss aunt Windy's warm hugs and soft kisses , she would make me lie down next to her till i feel warm and comfortable again , i looked up in the sky and wished she would hear me .

" I miss you windy" i said to the sky waiting for any sign of recognition but found none .

" I am sure she is missing you too " I heard said , i looked up and found Liam standing with my groceries and purse in one hand and Rory holding his other hand .

I looked down at her and she was sleepy , i opened my arms for her waiting for the rejection but she surprised me by coming to my arms , i held her so tight just like how windy would hold me when she felt down or just sad , i looked up to Liam and mouthed " I am sorry " he shook his head , went to my door and took the keys out , opened it and went inside to put the groceries , i felt Rory's soft breath on my neck , I looked down on her and she was sound asleep , i went inside and closed the door behind me , took her to my room and tucked her in .

Once I am downstairs , I found Liam sitting on the kitchen table with his head rested on his arms .

" You should go rest i will keep an eye on her , you can come pick her up any time " I said half kicking myself for the offer , I said I would stay away from them , from everyone then how come have I just said that !

Look at him he is so tired and needs rest plus she is already asleep so no harm will happen

I hoped my conscious was right , I won't hurt her , how can I, she is an angel , but yet I didn't intend to hurt all these people , yet they got hurt in the end .

" are you sure it's alright ? " he asked and all my thoughts were forgotten , he looked spent and a day rest wouldn't hurt .

" positive , she will be safe here " I said and he nodded , after he left I wished with all my being that I keep my words and nothing happens to her .
