The Stranger

Silvana POV

As I walked down Claminbar Alley I thought about how boring and drab school was going to be today. I was contemplating skipping school that day when someone caught my eye. They wore an entirely black cloak, boots, and hood. They were hurtling past you but something was off and you just didn't know what it was. I continued on my way to school. Showed your face in your first class of the day and slipped out. I then went to the small patch of trees in the city and sat down on a fallen log. I was just about to fall asleep when you saw a rose gold slike come up to you. Slike's were a small dog-wolf hybrid that could morph into a puppy, teenage slike, or a fully grown slike at will. I patted my lap and it leaped right onto my lap. It laid down and stretched then yawned. It curled up into a ball and fell asleep. I then began scratching behind its ear.

"You are a very pretty slike aren't you?"

"I'm going to call you Belladonna. Nice name don't you think?"

1 HOUR LATER

I got up and shoved off Bella. Bella barked at me but sat down and licked her paw. I took up my bag and dusted off my self.

"Come I have to bring you home and hide you I can't bring you to school now can I Bella?"

Bella barked in response and trotted behind me as I walked out of the patch. We continued our walk for 12 minutes until we were out of the patch. We continued our walk until we made our way onto Cosvoney Avenue where my house was. We made a left and came up to my house. It was a 3 story house with baby blue paint. It had a cobblestone path lined with bushes on either side. The shutters on the window were white. The house had a well-kept garden. The backyard had a few trees and a swimming pool. We walked up the path and I pulled out my key and opened the front door.

The inside of the house was painted in light pastel colours. The bottom floor was split into four rooms. The bathroom, kitchen, living room, and gym room. The second floor was split into five rooms. One en suite, two bedrooms, a master bathroom, and an office. The third floor was split into two parts the attic and a library.

Third Person

She walked up to her room. Her room was decorated in a purple pastel. She had a canopy bed with a thick pastel yellow blanket. She had golden pillows. Her vanity was made of Saca Wood. Saca Wood was a variety of wood that held a bluish hue to it and was very common and sought after. She had a desk made of more Saca Wood. Her chair was a plush pastel yellow chair. Her closet was also Saca Wood. She had a bean bag that was in pastel yellow again. She also had a small bookshelf made of Saca Wood. The lowermost area of the bookshelf was a small area you could store things. If she were to put on a blanket in the space she would make a bed for Bella.

She went inside and grabbed a blanket folded it and placed it in the small space. As soon as she was done Bella leaped into her new bed. She patted her head and left. She shut her door and left the house. She shut the door with her key and checked her watch. It was 11:48. She only had 12 minutes to get to school.

Silvana's POV

I checked my watch it was 11:48. I only had 12 minutes to get to school! I ran down the street and took a sharp turn and continued down the street. I took the right onto Bookley Lane; a shortcut to my school. I ran all the way down and took the far left. The school was coming into view. I checked my watch again. It was now 11:53. I had enough time to get into the school get a cup of coffee, get my books, and then head to class. I ran to the cafeteria and got a cup of coffee. I then ran to my locker. I put in my code 10934 and took out my History of Constapoline, Basics of Inter-galation travel, Åoola Arthrimancy, and Understanding the creatures of The Brazontine Universe. I then booked it down the corridor like everyone else. And made it into History class just in time.

TIME SKIP 3:00

School was finally over. I packed up my bags and put the books I didn't need in my locker. I made my way out of the front doors of the school and headed towards the market. I was in the market when I saw the same person again! Same black clothing and intimidating stance. I hurried up with my shopping and left. That person was still looking at me as I left. I looked behind me and they were now gone. I did not think much of it as I had to get home to deliver these to mom.

As I made my way back home I thought about how nice it was back in Starfield. It was such a nice place. No restrictions from the earth no toxic fumes to kill the trees and plants and no massive grey depressing buildings. All buildings were made out of the trees that thrived in the forest.

I walked up the cobblestone path and into the house. I greeted Vero and deposited the groceries on the table and went upstairs. I went into my room and dropped my bag and books on my study table. Bella got up and ran to me barking her head off. I patted her head and slipped her a treat I bought at the market. I placed her water and food bowl next to her bed and filled it with food and water.

MIDNIGHT

I climbed out of my window and placed my leg on a tree branch. I then scaled the remainder of the tree. I did this every night so I was no stranger to the bird's nest, spikey branches, and the slight fall at the bottom of the tree. I jumped our fence and jumped two more neighbors' fences. I made it to the path bathed in moonlight. The path was made of mossy cobblestone with overgrown trees, plants, shrubs, and vines. I made my way over the gate and landed softly on my feet with a soft thud. A cold, howling wind was blowing that night so I pulled my leather jacket tighter around me.

I was wearing leather pants, leather boots, a leather jacket, and a cyan shirt. As I walked I hummed one of the traditional Starfield songs. I saw them! That same person in all black. They were silhouetted by a whitish cyan glow. I walked into the clearing and stopped short. I overthought all possible dangers and walked up to this stranger. They were standing over a well. The well was what was giving off the strange glow.

"Hello Silvana, I've been waiting on you," the stranger said in a silky smooth voice.

"W-w-what do you mean you've been waiting on me?" I stuttered.

"I mean I was expecting you. This well gives wishes and I know you've been begging to leave this place" he said. He emphasized each word of the last sentence.

"But how do you know that? Have you been stalking me?!" I half-shouted.

"No, I have not been stalking you it's in your aura" he stated.

"You can read my aura?" I ask

"Yes I can" he stated again this time in a bored voice.

"What's your name seeing as you know mine I want to know yours?" I asked.

"Kaleb, Kaleb Vale that's my name" he replied.

"Where are you from? Your name isn't one from the Empire" I asked.

"I'm from the Hyperius Empire. I'm a Hyperion," he replied coolly.

"And you are an Elf from Starfield which makes you a Midnight Elf."

"Yes, you are correct that I'm a Midnight Elf. But how did you get here you look to be about my age 16?" I questioned.

Kaleb's POV

"Yes, you are correct that I'm a Midnight Elf. But how did you get here you look to be about my age 16?" Silvana asked. She asked a lot of questions for an Elf.

"I'm 16. I got into the country by ways only Hyperions can manage. I made a portal. And I'm guessing you don't learn about Hyperions in History class." I replied.

"Why are you wearing the cloak and hood?" Ahe asked.

"Why do you want to know?" I replied with a smirk.

"Because" she replied snappily.

I sighed and look off the hood and then the cloak.

Silvana's POV

He sighed and took off his hood then his cloak. He was dressed in black leather pants, black boots, and a crisp white shirt. He had slightly tanned skin and his eyes were brown and blue. He had the perfect nose and rosy lips.

Kaleb's POV

"Well, now you have an unobstructed view. Now I need you to make a wish in the well" I said.

"Okay," she said and stood over the well. In an instant, the well flared up and sprayed us with water.

"Well I made my wish," she said with her hair dripping water.

"Huh, that is not what I expected. Come back tomorrow with a bag fully packed no questions asked if you want to get back to Starfield" I said.

"Fine, goodnight Kaleb," she said.

"Goodnight Silvana" I replied.

Silvana's POV

"Goodnight Silvana," he said.

After we said goodbye we went our separate ways. He made a portal and went back to his hotel and I went back down the path and hopped the fences. I made my way back to my house and found the tree leading to my window. I jumped up and grabbed a low hanging branch and pulled myself up and climbed the rest of the tree. I went back through my window, closed it, and headed to the bathroom. I put the wet clothes in the sink and changed into my pajamas. I went downstairs and snuck into the kitchen. I placed my clothes into the dryer and sat down at the table.

I thought about Kaleb's offer. I decided to go so knowing that 17 minutes were left on the dryer I went to pack. I packed a full suitcase of clothes, toiletries, my phone, and other things I might need. I went back downstairs and saw that only 2 minutes were left on the dryer. I took my clothes out, went upstairs, and placed them in the suitcase, and zipped it shut. I went to bed.
