Alphas

Chapter 1 - Background

“She should be waking up soon" A man’s voice

"How did they know where she was in the first place" A woman this time

"That doesn't matter. What matters is that she’s safe here with us" Another man's voice

"And Jackson is gone. I can’t imagine how Elijah is feeling”

Elijah, that name. One of the names my father mentioned, one of the names he said I needed to find. Family he said.

I tried opening my eyes and I did successfully. I looked around and i'm on a bed. I sat up and I came in view with a big room with 3 weirdos staring at me with smiles. This is creepy.

A man with blonde hair, built body, looks like someone in his early 30s.

A woman with short curly black hair, slim with curves and also looks like someone around her early 30s.

And another man with black hair, looks pretty normal too.

"Who are you people and why did you attack our home" I spoke up obviously scared of this people. They killed dad and I don't know them

The woman spoke this time "Darling we didn't attack you and Jackson de--"

I interrupted her before she finished "How do you know his name"

One of the men spoke "My name is Ben. This is Ingrid and Kellan" he gestured to the woman and the other man in the room "we aren't going to hurt you Rain, we are friends. We sent help to your house when you were attacked" he said again

“They killed him” I started crying “Th…they killed him”

They looked sad, liked they truly cared.

"Rain I know you hurt. We are Jackson's friends and family" she explained. She does look sincere. I remembered those names ‘Elijah’ and ‘Kendra’ again

Ingrid came forward and sat by my side hugging me , I didn't fight it and just hugged her back. Needing an hug badly.

"Rain we know shouldn’t but need to ask some questions" Kellan spoke up

I looked up at him "What " I asked them

They all looked at each other before ingrid spoke "Well did Jackson ever mention our world"

I nodded "Yes he did say we aren't from the human world. We left Valara because it wasn't safe"

They smiled a little and Kellan looked back at me "Anything else?”

“Please leave” I told them weakly.

“What?” Ben sounding surprised

“Please leave, my father just died. Please leave” I said weakly again

“Rain….” Ingrid tried to

“Get out!! Get out!! Get out!!” I shouted and I saw them leave the room

Couple hours later…

I heard a light knock, woke me up from my nap.

Two female came in bring trays of food and placed it on a table beside the bed and left.

A man came in, a different man this time.

He seems different, His hair, his face. So familiar I keep thinking.

"You must be hungry, please eat. Okay?" He said

I looked at him for few seconds

“Who are you?”

“I know you” I said to myself this time

“I’m Elijah” he told me, still keeping his distance in the room while I’m on the bed

Elijah, that name. The name of someone Dad said to find before he died

“I don't understand what is happening, who are you?” I asked curious. “He mentioned you before he died. He said to find you, why is that?” Something isn’t right

“Why don’t we have dinner first, while you take a rest Rain. You’ve had a long night” he said calmly

I shook my head “ No, you will explain. Who are you, all these? Why are they happening?” I asked again

“Okay” he looked at me, as if asking if he could take a sit on the bed. I nodded giving him permission to

“I assume Jackson shared a little of our world?” I nodded and he continued. “Few months before you were born, we got a message from Friend, A divination witch. A prediction of a future to avoid, a future you were going to be taken from us and possibly be killed by a power hungry man that disturbs our world, and getting to you will only be the beginning of our doom also.” He paused looking at me first

“ We knew we had to protect you. We started to look for ways. We could only think about a place outside our world but no one has crossed the boundary in thousands of years. It could only be done with a blood of a portal witch which are rare because it’s tied to just a family and their bloodline. Rain we found one few weeks to your birth and that was how we got you out” he said looking. Waiting for him to continue but he didn’t.

“What happened? And why do you know this? You didn’t answer, who are you to me? Why did dad say ‘family’ when he mentioned you” I asked all at the same time. All these time, I looked nothing like him, I would always ask him why I looked nothing like him and he would say ‘you look like your mother’. In my heart I think I know what this answer might be but I don’t want it to be true. I looked at Elijah waiting

“Jackson was my adopted son. I’m your father Rain” he said softly looking in my eyes while staring back at his

That word ‘Father’ I thought.

“You can’t be…, you don’t look old. You can’t be his dad.” I told him “right?” I asked begging with my eyes

“Older than I look. But yes I’m telling the truth and I think you know that too”

He is right, I sensed something familiar the moment he walked in. All these lies, all these time. Why didn’t he just tell me, and then he died ?

“Please leave me alone” I whispered. I wanted to be alone and thankfully he understood that and left
