Chapter 12(A reason to stay)

That reply reminded me of my survival tale which my mom tells often like a chorus. The officer would definitely not understand but I did! This man must be relating to my mother. Why didn't he say that earlier? Though, I was still perplexed that he claims I was his bride. Never will I agree to that but he could be of help to me. Now my suggestion were a) if his father could resurrect my mother, this young man had powers which could be beneficiary to me, judging from the way he blasted through that wall just to get me b) his appearance looked like a spoilt brat and flamboyant in nature hence, he must be filthy rich to help me uncover the death of my mother. All those thoughts were running through my head that I didn't think twice of the outcome and I mistakenly placed my palm on his shoulder, glanced at the busy officer and said;

"I remember who he is now"

The stranger ducked his head at me, scoffed and shrugged my palm off his shoulder. I could tell he didn't like that. Although, he seems satisfied with the answer I gave because I saw a sided smile suspended on his lips. Certainly, I guess he would be telling himself that he won.

"Young lady, is he threatening you or something...you don't have to be scared..."

"No officer Desmond, I just got a little angry with him, lovers fight" I teased winking an eye at the stranger who had his legs crossed. His attitude shows that he wasn't interesting in what I was saying but just wanted to leave the station. It took time for the officer to believe my words before letting me take the young man who was acting all high and mighty. I understood how carrying the officer wanted to be and I promised that I would report any case relating to him once the stranger messes up.

Here I am, at a crosswalk under the glowing moon with this man out of nowhere! I should have just left him stay in the station if I knew he was a pervert. The street lights illuminated the path which we took. When we left the police station, he ordered me to get the royal carriage because he would reside in my house for the meantime and gestured to me to serve him the best dishes around here. Seriously? Wasn't he rich? He should invite some of his bodyguards or family to come take us both or someone who could identify him. I even asked him where his family resides but all he said was somewhere outside earth. Furthermore, I had to caution him that not everything here is done based on his demands because this was a different world and so he should act differently. He scoffed at me calling me weird and nuisance, claiming that he would do whatever he wants. The patient robe I had was already sticky to my body and I couldn't leave this lunatic because there were a lot of unanswered questions which I want him to answer.

"What's your name?" I asked frustrated as we walked side by side because my cautions wouldn't work on him. At least he succeeded in making me take him to my house. I just have to close a blind eye to him and assume he had dementia. Literally, I'm talking to an alien in human form, that was what I came up with in my head. Besides, strange things are out there in this world just that we can't see it with an ordinary eye. Nothing was more perplexing than not having cash, that's what resulted to us walking to my house. It had been a hectic day that I wished all was a dream. I was feeling weak but didn't want to show it to this young man. Couldn't he use his superpowers to take me home? Those thought of mine made me discover that I was expecting more from a stranger I just met. Sadly, a heaved a sigh and glanced at the moon making a wish that he wasn't a con artist but really because I needed to get to the bottom line of my mother's death with the aid of his superpowers.

"Damian and you?" He snapped jerking me back to reality as my eyes suddenly tailed on him pacing towards a barbecue beside the crosswalk. Wow, he walks really fast that I had to race to catch up with him.

"Miranda" I responded following him suit just not to cause unnecessary attention. His eyes were on the beef and I could see him sniffing it. I tried not assume that he wanted to eat because I had no penny on me. It seems like today was just filled with bad luck for me especially the unexpected groom who was chaos itself. The grill chef who was in his middle age demanded what Damian wants. He had a smiliy face but Damian didn't. It was like this young man had grudges against the grill master. I quickly intervene by saying he was just grooving around and not really buying anything. The man continued what he was engrossed on while I attempted taking Damian with me.. I didn't even realize I was holding on to him and forcing him to come along with me until he shoved my hand away and warned me to stay out of this. I didn't know that he could be frightening and could hunger have made him this mad?

"How dare you, outrageous fellow, defy the laws! I will burn you and do say hi to my brother when you meet him in hell!"

I didn't know he was an actor because his lines were perfect and I could neither picture out what he meant earlier but from what I know, his face was tensed as though wanting to start a fight. As for me, I was smoked and trying to breath under the choking smoke from the barbecue. Well something deep in my heart told me that he could actually burn this puzzled grill chef, if he could break to through the wall, then this wouldn't be heard.. This young was pointing at the middle age man and commanding him that he shouldn't grill animals because they're family. People close by watch the scene that was taking place before them and it was so embarrassing. Doesn't he have manners wherever world he was coming from? I doubt so.

"Uhmm mister... he's a bit tipsy and needs to clear his head" I apologized trying to clear up the air when suddenly, he swiveled his hands like though forming a ball and pointing at the grill master who went back to what he was doing. I didn't want to watch this because I could he was trying to perform some magic on the poor man who I couldn't defend. However, something else happen. He tried forcing something out of his hands but couldn't and I could see how he strained his body with every energy, yet nothing was happening. My eye rested on the grill master who didn't look at us both a blink and just as I was about to tell Damian we should leave, he collapsed right in front of me, causing an uproar.
