Aria POV: “Ouch, It hurts. They should have asked me to leave, Why using their power, When there is no need for it?” I murmured while trying to get up from the ground. I started dusting my white dress which got dirty because of the soil on the ground. As I examined my surroundings I realized that this place is not familiar to be particular it is completely new, which I have seen once in my existence. The place was covered in darkness and thanks to the light from the moon I can get the proper glimpses of the surroundings. The only aspects I can see in every direction are trees and that the very big ones. As I turned around I saw a large group of bright lights far away from the place I am standing. I don't know who lit that many lights, but it is a very beautiful sight to watch. So, I decided to walk towards that way. “Ok, I am done with examining the surroundings and deciding. Now, I should get going” I mumbled in an energetic tone. But, The truth to be said I don't know how I can go there nor do I know how long it will take for me to reach that place? “Aria, you are really stupid, How can you forget that you can fly, and you have two beautiful wings? ” I slapped my forehead for being forgetful. Giggling at my foolishness, I unfolded my wings, I have to admit that I love my wings so much. They are more beautiful than anyone thinks, and they are very useful. I can fly to my destination very easily. My wings are more powerful compared to my friends and classmates. If there is a race between me and my friends I am always the winner. As I am about to fly, I heard some sounds from the opposite direction. I decided to check it and started walking in that direction. As I reached there I found a person laying upside on the ground. The thing that got my attention was his clothes. I have seen this type of clothes before. Nevertheless, putting my thoughts aside I sat beside him and adjusted his posture so that I could get a glimpse of his face. His forehead was covered with blood. I think he might have got hurt by something but what caught my attention was his sharp nose and jawline which were as sharp as a knife. He is a boy around my age, but surely he is human. I moved my gaze upwards to divert my attention from his sharp jawline and nose. Then I saw a wound on his forehead. Oh No, It was a severe wound, and he was bleeding continuously. I didn't have the heart to just watch it. So, I decided to save him, although it is against the rules. But, Everyone knows that rules are made to be broken. I closed my eyes while placing my hand on his forehead and started reciting the magical words to cure his wounds. I learned several useful spells in my school. As I was done with my work. I saw him slowly opening his eyes. “Who are you?” I heard him asking. I was about to answer, but suddenly I heard a very familiar voice shouting out my name. Furthermore, I can't let myself get caught while breaking the rules. That's why I decided to do what came into my mind first. “I am sorry” I apologized to him because I am going to make him unconscious. As I was done with my work. I started running following the familiar sound. “I am here Lina aunt” I shouted as I reached near her. She turned towards me and soon her expression turned into anger. I hope she didn't see me while saving that human boy. “What are you doing with your wings spread open?” she asked me with a glare. “Oh this I thought to fly towards that lights” I replied to her. “Did you forget how and why you ended up here?” she asked me. Oh No, How can I forget it? I nodded my head sideways. “Then why are you repeating the same mistakes again and again even after being punished?” she questioned me. I have nothing to say. So, I stayed silent while trying to look in every direction excluding her. “Now, close your wings and never open them again until you are staying in the human world” she ordered me. Immediately I closed my wings and nodded my head indicating that I will obey her. “You know your punishment right?” she questioned me. It was a very late question, How can I not know my punishment when I am literally standing in the human world. “I know, I have to spend one year in the human world as punishment” I answered her. She nodded her head with a poker face. She is usually a loving person but now that I have caused a big problem she is not in the talking terms with me. Otherwise, she is my favorite person in heaven. Oh, I forget to mention I am an angel, and I was thrown into the human world to receive punishment for breaking the rules. “How are you going to survive on earth?” she asked me seriously. I have nothing to answer to her, but I can survive using my powers. I am an intelligent Angel after all. I complimented myself while maintaining pitiful expressions. “I know what you are thinking, Don't try to use your power in the human world otherwise, you will receive a bigger punishment this time. And, I am not going to protect you at that time” she said. She knows me very well. She is right because of her I received a one-year punishment otherwise it was a five-year punishment. “No, I was not at all thinking of breaking more rules” I lied. “Do you know anything about humans and where are you going to stay?” she asked me with her hands crossed. Truthfully I don't know where I am going to stay. “I don't know,” I answered her. She shook her head and took out a chain with a beautiful pendant. I wondered what she was going to do with that chain? “Hi, Aria Nice to meet you” I heard someone speaking to me. I looked around, but I didn't find anyone other than us two. “Where are you looking, Aria? I am in front of you” I heard that voice again. I looked at Lina aunt with confusion. “That voice is from this pendant” she cleared my confusion but created another one. “Who is in this pendant? Did you capture anyone, aunt?” I asked her. “No, I didn't capture anyone. I created this pendant with my magic and this is going to guide you in your journey in this human world” she replied. I nodded grasping the new information. “Keep this around your neck. No one can hear its voice other than you. It will lead you to the place you are going to stay for one year, and It will also teach you about humans” she said while handing the pendant to me. I nodded and quickly placed that pendant around my neck. I was in a desperate need of help and finally, I got it. Now, I can survive this year without any problems. Oh, I am happy. Very happy. Unknowingly a smile crept on my face. “Don't be happy. If you ever repeat that mistake in future I am not going to help you again” she said as if she read my thoughts. I nodded quickly, controlling my smile. “Now, listen to the rules you have to follow while staying in the human world” she started saying the rules which I will try to not break. “1. Don't use your magic, live like a human in the human world. 2. Don't get involved in other human life. 3. Don't let anyone know your true identity otherwise, you are going to increase your punishment” she said. I nodded my head and decided to follow rules this time as I don't want to increase my punishment. “Ok, Then I am leaving, take care of yourself, Aria,” Lina aunt said in a soft voice. However, she might be angry, but she still has a soft corner for me. “And, Don't cause any trouble to the people around you and also yourself” she added. “Judging by your character you're going to cause troubles from the day one” she continued her speech. “Aunt I am not that kind of person,” I said. “We will see” saying she disappeared from my sight All the surrounding people have only one thing to say that I cause troubles. They don't know anything about me. Leave it now I have to concentrate on my present situation. “Hey, pendant, Where should we have to go?” I asked my pendant. “I will give you the directions” It gave the reply. I nodded and started walking following its instructions but before that, I glanced at the direction where I met that boy. He will be fine once he becomes conscious. He will be the last one I save in this human world as I am not able to continue even if I want to help others. “Hey, pendant, I think I have to give you a name” I asked. “What do you want to name me?” It questioned. “Are you a boy or a girl?” I questioned it. It smiled before answering. “I don't have any gender Aria. I was created by magic and I will disappear after you complete your punishment” It answered. “Oh, Then I will give a girl name,” I said. I thought for a few minutes and decided on one name. “Nora What do you think about it?” I asked it. “I like it,” It replied. “Ok, then from now on I am going to call you Nora,” I said. “So, Nora, How long do I have to walk?” I asked as I was walking and walking continuously. “You are almost there,” Nora replied. After walking for a few minutes I reached a place where there were bright lights on the sides and a long way in the middle of them. “Nora, What is this place called and where are we?” I asked her. “Till now you were at the peak of the mountain, and now you climbed down the mountain. It is called a road by humans” Nora replied to me. I nodded and as I was walking I saw big things coming towards me. “Nora, what is that?” I asked with panic. “Those are vehicles which humans use to travel” Nora replied to me. “Oh, but they are somewhat scary,” I said. I was amazed by that thing called vehicles and kept looking at them that I didn't realize that I completely came into the human world. “These are buildings where humans stay” I heard Nora, and she kept on explaining to everything that came in front of my eyes. I kept on observing my surroundings and suddenly my gaze fell on the girl who was in the middle of the road not knowing that a big vehicle was coming in her direction. I want to help her, but I have to be bound by the rules. “Aria, you have to help her” I heard Nora. And that's it the next second I pulled that girl to the side before that big thing hit her. She got shocked by my sudden action and as she looked at that big thing she sighed in relief. “Thank you so much for saving me,” she said. She must be around my age. She stood there for a few moments and then looked at me from up to down. I also followed her gaze and got shocked by looking at myself. My beautiful white dress disappeared, and I was wearing some other dress. “Don't worry I changed your dress with magic” I heard Nora. “What are you doing here with your luggage late at night?” she asked me. Luggage!! What is it? I never heard that word before. “It is behind you. Luggage is the bag in which humans carry their clothes” I heard Nora. “Now, repeat the same words I say to you,” Nora said to me. I don't know what she wants me to do, but I am going to follow her. “I was transferred to the school in this city. The landlord I contacted was a fraud because of that now I am standing here with my luggage” I repeated exactly what Nora said to me. “Oh, If you don't mind you can come with me. You saved my life. So, I want to return this favor” that girl replied. As Nora said I agreed with that girl and started following that girl. “What is your name?” The girl asked me. “Aria, And yours?” I replied. “Maria Jones,” she said. I don't know what is happening around me and I don't know why a stranger is sheltering me but, Soon she leads me to her house. “This is my house. I live with my brother alone. You can live with us until you find a house for yourself” She said. I nodded and walked into the house. The house was a two-story building according to the knowledge I got from Nora, and it is surrounded by beautiful plants which I liked the most. As I walked through the door following Maria I came across a boy who was sitting in that room. “Where were you, Maria?” He asked while turning towards us. Oh my God!! He is the boy with a sharp nose and jawline I saved on that mountain. To be continued........
