Chapter 11

Meeting Him: The eyes watching them closed. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ They arrived at the hostel and Vala helped Pula down from the Jaguar after she had come down. Doing what Zelik had told her, the Jaguar disappeared. "Wow, I thought you were joking." Zelik smiled a bit and made his hippopotamus disappear. "Follow me." He said and started walking towards the hostel with Vala and Pula behind him. He entered a compound which has many buildings and which was quiet. He led her to a building which was a bungalow. He magically made a key appear in his hand which he used to open the door, he entered first before Vala and Pula followed suit. Vala looked around in awe, the living room was decorated nicely, the chairs and tables were made of silver. Three closed doors were seen. Perhaps a Princess once lived here. Vala thought and when her gaze finally landed on Zelik, she noticed he was smiling in satisfaction as he stared back at her, she also noticed she was not the only one in awe, Pula too. "Why are you smiling and staring at me, it's weird you know." Vala said. "My Lord wants you to be happy when you see this, he hopes it's up to your taste, with the look on your face, I am happy." Zelik answered. "This Lord of yours you keep talking about, I hope to see him one day to thank him, he surely knows my taste." "Yes, he sees the future, remember? The day you release your father is the day you will see him. You are now the owner of this house, it has two rooms so you can choose from any." Zelik said, pointing at two doors. "And the other one is the kitchen." "Okay, I can't wait to see him and thank him for his generosity." Vala said before facing Pula. "You just go and choose any room of your choice, Aunt." Pula smiled and left them, entering one of the rooms. "So who is she? Lord Daniel never made any mention of her." "She's my mother's friend who saved my life." Nodding his head, he cleared his throat. "My princess, tomorrow you will be attending the supernatural school which is not far from here, others students who are from the different kingdoms live here. Remember, Galore and his entire family is your enemy, so you don't dine with them, he is the reason why everyone thinks your father, the demon King, is a traitor. He has turned every demon into the kingdom slave and you are now their new hope." Zelik told her. "Let me quickly add this, Galore both sons are handsome but don't fall for their looks especially his second son, Ruthless. Just gain Ruthless trust and do what I ask you to do." "I will try my very best Zelik, if you must know, I am not moved by that word 'Handsome'. "Here is your key, I will hold one." He said giving the key with him to her. "I shall take my leave but will come tomorrow before you go to your new school." "Thank you Zelik, for everything." Zelik smiled and walked out of the room. Galore had built the building in that land and he made it impossible for those with the power to disappear. Just in case you're wanted in the hostel, you can't disappear your way out. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Early the next morning.... Pula wakes up Vala with her dragon magic. "Vala, Vala." She nearly screamed into Vala's ear. Opening her eyes, Vala stared at her in surprise. "Were you the one who called my name?" "Yes." Pula answered, though her mouth didn't move. "Those chains that bind me suppress my dragon power, if not I have the ability to talk through the mind of someone, I decided to try it on you today and it worked. I am so happy to finally express myself and to thank you for everything you have done for me." She added gratefully. Getting out of her bed. "You don't have to thank me, anyway I have got to start preparing for school." Zelik came like he promised and reminded Vala about what he discussed with her. He was happy when he could hear Pula in his mind and decided to stay with her a bit. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 'Welcome to the Supernatural School' Was the first sign Vala saw when she got closer to the school. Heads turned to look at her but she ignored their stares and the stares increased when she entered the school. She doesn't know if it is because of her face, her body or her chains that would warrant every eye on her and soon the whispering started. The people who didn't seem to be that surprised were the elves. They know her but seeing her here was shocking to them. Ignoring the looks, she walked up to meet one of the elves and asked for the principal office. "I am not doing anything right away, let me take you to his office." One of the elves, a female, said to her. "Thank you, I appreciate that." Vala said and the girl started leading her towards the principal office. "You don't need to thank me, I am only here because of you Vala." "Oh so you know my name?" "Who doesn't know your name in the Land of the Elves?" The girl said and they stopped at the door of the principal. She knocked once and Vala opened the door and entered. She saw the four teams in the office. "Yes, who are you?" A young werewolf asked. "I am with them." Vala said, pointing at the four elves. "Oh, the leader has finally agreed to join us after dodging for more than three hundred years. I'm so honored to meet you Vala." The principal, Jack, said with a charming smile even though he tried hard not to stare at her face. "Fill this form." He added and gave Vala a form to fill with a magic pen. Once she was done, she gave the form back to the principal who collected it and gave her another paper. "That's the subject you will be having." Jack said as Vala collected the paper from him and left his office. He faces the rest. "Sorry for that, but the rules are the rules, we attend to the leader of your group first." Coming out of Jack's office, Vala was surprised to see the female elf waiting for her. "Why are you here?" "I was waiting for you, to take you to the school cafeteria to buy what you will eat. Because once we enter class, you can't come out until it's closing time." "Okay, let's go." They started heading towards the cafeteria. "So what's your name?" Vala asked. "You can call me Fairy Seeing the surprise look on Vala face prompted her to continue. "My mother likes Fairy so she gave me that name." They arrived at the cafeteria and Vala saw a lot of students. The wolves are seated with only wolves, each supernatural creature sat with their kind. Vala noticed that they were shoving and eating their food fast and pointed it out. "Why are they in a haste?" "You don't want Ruthless to meet you here eating." "Why?" She asked as they went to seat with the elves, the new students also joining them. "He will kill you." Fairy answered and at that moment a tall guy with muscles walked in. He was very handsome and that left Vala's mouth open. The students stopped what they were doing to stare at him. "Who is that?" "That's Blue, Galore's first son and brother to Ruthless. Close your mouth you are drooling." Vala closed her mouth but her eyes remained on Blue, he sat down with the wolves who were his friend and started discussing with them in hush voice. "He is handsome." Vala heard herself whispering. "Yeah he is, now imagine how Ruthless will look." "He can't be more handsome than Blue." "That's because you haven't seen him." Vala was still staring at Blue shamelessly. Zelik didn't tell her one of Galore's sons was this handsome and not the handsome he was talking about. Blue was up to his feet and left immediately, the wolves also leaving. No sooner had Blue left, the most handsome guy walked in. His beauty was nothing compared to Blue. This new guy was absolutely breathtaking. Everyone, except the newbies, stood up and left their food running out of the cafeteria door. "Is he Ruthless?" "Yes, he is the very one, let's get out of here." "I am giving you all a chance to leave here at once." Ruthless warned. His tone was cold and emotionless but it was pleasant in Vala's ear. Damn, she will have to knock some sense into Zelik since he doesn't know the difference between handsome and beautiful. She was sure the Creator had sat down and ignored all other works just to create this masterpiece. "And why should we leave? Are we not paying for the food?" A dragon boy ask, he was a newbie. "Come here and let me tell you." Ruthless said and the Dragon boy finds himself walking towards Ruthless. He finds it difficult to stop himself until he is standing close to Ruthless. "Didn't your parents teach you not to cross my path?" He didn't wait for the Dragon boy to respond when he kicked him on his legs which made the boy fall down. Ruthless placed one of his legs on top of the boy's head and the dragon boy started burning as he dried up. Staring at him in shock, Vala now understands why he was called Ruthless. He truly lives up to his name but why is nobody stopping him? Will they just stand and watch this Dragon boy die? She did the unthinkable.
