Kissing the Fae

Chapter 47

I got a bit of emotional with the talk with my mother. We became emotional... She kept on convincing me nothing will change which is something I can’t bring myself to believe. Because deep inside me, I know something is wrong. As I think of it, I don’t know the reason why would the counselor came up with such story, right? He wouldn’t dare assault me in front of the La Roi and the La Reina who has power to end him... I know the counselors hated me so much but what if... Me being a not a full-blooded Fairy just added to their anger towards me?

I can’t really tell... And I hope it isn’t the reason why because I honestly don’t know what to do if ever. Although if it’s true, it is something I should accept because it’s the best thing to do than pretend like I know nothing.

I don’t want to be stuck with someone — or in a place that does not belong to me. I know my place... If I don’t belong here, then as I have said, I will go to where I am supposed to be because that’s my place, not the Faye or the Acres Kingdom.

When I arrived at the Enchanted Forest, the Little Fairies were already waiting for me with their neutral looks. I stopped in front of them to ask with my forehead knotted.

“Hey, what’s happening?”

“The human... The guy already woke up, Rani Letisha. He was shouting and panicking and we don’t know what to do! We were so afraid he might slap us and we are so thin and small compared to that giant!” it was Zah who looked worried now.

My eyes widened in fraction. The human is awake! He’s probably confused and it is normal for him to react that way!

“Where is he?” I continued to walk, now with my heart thumping because of nervousness.

“He’s in your room,” said Rin. “We didn’t have a choice but to use force against him because he became violent and scared when he saw us he tried to slap us! So, we locked him up in to your room.”

Just when I arrived in front of my door, I can hear a loud noises coming inside. His voice was filled with fear and anger... He’s confused, and was asking and begging for help and to release him.

I sighed deeply and bit the inside of my cheeks. I don’t know what to do with him, honestly. I wish I know... It is hard to deal with a human and it is something I have never experienced before. Yes, I want to but with a guy? With that grown up man who’s now banging the door from inside really loud and hard?

“Gosh, he is so scary, Rani Letisha...” it was Tia who landed on my shoulder. “We should stop him! Or calm him down but that is impossible. He looked so angry and sounded so confused.”

Of course, that man needs an answer.

He was confused. Who wouldn’t if anyone like him will just woke up in an unfamiliar place? And he saw us... He saw these Little Fairies and of course, he’d be shocked! That’s expected! If I were on his shoes, I’d probably react the same way but yes, he needs to calm down first.

I don’t want to hurt him by forcing him to calm himself down and I know it would be hard.

I knocked on the door, he stopped. I let the silence passed by first before I spoke calmly.

“Hey, human... Calm down and we’ll release you...” I told him in a very calming manner.

“Release me! F ucking retards! Release me now!” he shouted angrily.

Rolling my eyes, I sighed again.

“You need to calm down first,” I told him again. “Then, we will release and explain to you everything. But first, stop shouting and banging my door so hard! You are so loud...”

“How can I calm down, huh?! I am stuck in an unfamiliar place and I felt like I am going crazy! Those little pieces of creatures! They are not real! This place is making me crazy and I want you to release me now!”

I bit my lower lip as I tried to keep my patience. Huh! So, humans are impatient! They can’t just calm down and yes, his reaction is valid but it’s annoying. His attitude is just annoying and I am trying to understand where he is coming from.

Again, his reaction is normal. He has the right to be shocked, to be confused, to feel anger but this attitude of him is something I can’t tolerate, right? I hate humans. His attitude just gave me a bad impression about them and now, I am hating this guy inside my room who can’t seem to calm the f uck down.

“I understand your feelings,” again, I was calm even my insides wanted to break the door and shout at him, too.

No one ever dared to shout at me! And I am letting this pass because he is not part of us. He is naive, he does not have an idea about us. No one will behave and remain cool after learning that he has been kidn*pped. The difference was it was not exactly our fault but the missing portal which until now is giving us all the headaches we do not deserve.

I stepped back, not really wanting to deal with the human. The Little Fairies followed me to sit on the settee, and I sighed in relief when the human stop from shouting and banging the door. Finally, silence...

“I guess he is calm now. Then, we can uh... release him at least? I am sure he’s hungry,” Tia sounded so concern.

“Unless he is totally calm,” Rin told her. “But then, you were right about that. Four days was too long and he is a human but the way he acted, it seems like days of sleeping didn’t bother him, huh.”

Strange, yes. He sounded so full of energy but in negative way. Like he didn’t get hungry or even become thirsty after four days of just laying and sleeping on my bed.

“There is something with him,” I finally told them. “Something different... But I can’t pinpoint it. Since the day he came here, his presence and the aura, there is something on it I can’t put in words.”

“This is your first time to deal with a human so everything is strange to you, Rani Letisha. Do not put meaning on everything,” Rin uttered firmly which made me shook my head in disapproval.

“Nope... I know something is up with that human.”

I firmly hold onto my belief and my feelings. That’s just how I approached him. The first I felt his presence, there is something more than him just being a human yet I can’t figure it out. Because he is a human... But then, something inside me is telling me otherwise which is just so absurd. How can I think of that? What gives me the impression to think he is more than that?

I don’t know... Just like him, I think I am going crazy thinking of it. I felt so stupid... I have never been this confused. All my life, I had everything figured out, believing that everything was so easy to decipher and that people were too easy to read, I never had a problem nor had a second doubts because I always got my first guess right.

But right now, I don’t think it is working. I am deeply in turmoil and I felt like my head is going to explode because of all these happenings that baffled me. My thoughts and feelings are mixed and before, I got to control and handle it well... Currently, I can’t seem to arrange my thoughts... It is all mixed up and too hard to come up with something that would lead me to end my bewilderment.

Damn it, Rani Letisha.

If it was not because of that counselor, maybe my mind was still at bay now. My feelings won’t mixed up, it won’g be filled with doubt and perplexity. I don’t know if I like it or not but one’s thing I am sure of, it will not end up so good.

There will be war inside me... I am not ready to face whatever the future has for me because I fear it might completely ruin me.

The human has totally stopped from trying to break the door. He is probably tired and weak, yes. I bit the inside of my cheeks, dismissing all the negative thoughts. I need to clear my mind so I can explain him everything, to make him understand all these happening. I don’t want him to be scared or to act violent once he learned his fate. That’s just the reactions of the humans before... As per the guys said and those who already encountered one, humans can be so violent if they heard something that does not sounds right to them.

Well, I can fight him... Between us, it is him who is weak. Yet I am taught not to abuse my power towards someone who is weak and has no ability to fight against us. But if the human tried to, I will show him no mercy.

“Release him, Rin. That human needs to learn everything. He deserves it, at least, before he die, he’d try to build new and memorable memories that would make him smile the day he will die,” I told her and she sighed.

“That’s too sad for those innocent victims of the missing portal...” she uttered.

I shrugged. “We can’t do anything about it, though. Like no matter how hard we try to break the curse and make a change, we are not just... the ones who were destined to do that.”

“I hope someone will... Life is too precious, Rani Letisha. These innocent humans shouldn’t be brought here and die... They have their own lives and they shouldn’t even be allowed to know our world. But then, it is partly the reason why people died here. Because finding out the Godlic by humans will only mean death to them... So the missing portal should really be stopped.”

We all hope for the betterment of the Acres Kingdom and the people. We do not want any humans to shed blood or even our kind in our world. This is something that has been happening since immemorial and everyone of us wanted it to stop, especially the curse. We all wanted to find the missing portal and break the curse but we can’t. I don’t know... We have tried our best but we can’t just do it. The Queen, maybe... But she never tried. Even the King never tried to break the curse that bridge the human to us.

It is f ucked up. Humans are the ones who are suffering because of our kingdom’s curse. Right... These people have no family waiting for them but it is not enough reason to get someone killed, to choose him because of that reason. Those humans who got in here? They wanted to live and make their dreams come true but the missing portal didn’t let them achieve that and it is just so sad... And now, this human...

I don’t know what to do with him. Should I just tell him straight he is gonna die soon? Here... In my property...

“Who are you?”

His eyes were bloodshot as he raised his gaze to me. He was angry, his stares are blazing and I felt like he wanted to attack me anytime soon.

He is still tied. I figured he might just act on. I can’t risk that.

I sat on the chair inside my room. The door is slightly open, the Little Fairies were outside, listening.

“I am Rani Letisha,” I simply answered, looking at him through the mirror in a very calm manner. “And you are here in the other world... Just like your world but we are different from all of you...”
