7. Not a new start of life!
The days were passing so fastly and it had been 1 week since Zelda, Athena and Rachel started living in the tree house.
Things are going pretty good for them.
Athena was somehow managing to bring them food daily.
Zelda's health is getting out of control!
Her health was worsening day by day.
Athena was trying her best to make her health alright but, she didn't have that power to save a life.
And, Athena had no idea what she should do right then to save her mother's life.
She couldn't find any way to save her mother's life…
Once, Athena was walking through the forest, and was on her way to the tree house…!
It was almost night, when she suddenly felt someone's presence around her.
She stopped mid way and looked around but didn't see anyone…!
She closed her eyes and just then, someone lurking behind the bushes jumped on her.
Just in time, Athena moved away and so, the guy couldn't harm her…!
Athena looked up at it, and saw a guy who is around 15 years old…! Just 5 years older than her.
She frowned seeing his eyes turning dark red. His eyes widened ,in shock as he saw her eyes turning blue too…!
He immediately knelt down in front of her,
making Athena frown at him.
"I am sorry... Forgive me for raising my sword on you, your majesty…!" The guy said as lowered his head, making Athena feel weird!
Athena didn't bother about him and turned back and was about to walk away from him when he stopped her and again started talking!
"I didn't know that you were from one from the Royal Family…! I recognised you after seeing your eyes. Your eyes color is rare.
As I smelled you, I can sense you as a wolf. I really thought you were Rogues.
Forgive me, Your majesty." The guy said, making Athena scowl at him.
'One from a royal family?'
Athena asked to herself but put it away from her brain as she thought he might be talking nonsense.
Athena tried to signal him, asking, "What do you mean by One from the royal family?"
But the guy didn't get anything.As he didn't understand what she was signalling to him with her hands and thought, why can't she talk?
Athena sighed as she saw him looking at her with dumb face as she knew that he didn't get anything, what she was trying to ask him.
Athena walked towards him and kept her hand on his shoulder. She made him stand on his feet, making him frown.
"Your majesty…!!!"
Athena cut off the guy in mid Sentence as she shook her head in no.
The guy scoffed again as seeing her not talking, but signalling with her hands.
Athena Slowly kept her one hand on her mouth and then again shook the same hand. She prayed to God to try to make him understand that she could not talk and was a mute girl.
And her prayers turned fruitful.
"Are... Are you mute, Your majesty?" The guy asked and Athena nodded her head in yes, making his eyes wide.
"What?" The guy yelled curiously, making Athena take a step back.
"I... I am sorry..." The guy apologized again, but Athena shook her head in no.
'It's fine...' Athena signaled her hands again, making the guy frown again.
"I am really sorry... But I really can't understand what you are trying to tell me, Your majesty!" The guy said, making Athena sigh.
Athena looked around and nodded her head and grabbed his wrist.
Athena had no idea but, her heart was telling her to trust the person who was beside her and so, she trusted him. And, she had the capability of making him regret if he turned out to be an ill-intended person who was just taking advantage of them.
"Your majesty... Where are you taking me?" The guy asked, making Athena look at him sternly.
"I am sorry... I will just follow you." The guy said as he saw how dangerous her eye color had turned dark.
The guy followed her behind without saying anything.
And they soon reached the tree house.
Seeing Athena climbing the tree, he scoffed but still followed her behind and climbed the tree.
"Athena... You are home..."
Zelda got cut off in mid Sentence when she saw someone behind Athena, walking inside the house.
"Who... Who is that?" Zelda asked anxiously as she stepped back.
The guy's eyes widened seeing another woman in the house as he didn't have any idea what they were doing there.
While he could sense them as from a royal family, but was not sure from which royal family they belonged!
"Mom..." Rachel said as she walked inside the house and looked at the guy who stood in front of Zelda.
"Huh? Mom, Who is he? What is he doing in our home?" Rachel asked as she looked at Zelda and Athena.
"Athena, Answer…!!" Zelda asked sternly as she coughed for her weakness.
"Your majesty..." The guy said as he again kneeled in front of Zelda and Rachel.
Rachel frowned at him but Zelda's eyes widened as she saw the guy calling them 'Your majesty'
That meant he knew who they were.
Zelda shook her head in no and as she grabbed Athena's and Rachel's hand and brought her close to her.
"Who are you and why are you calling us that?
Just get lost from here.! " Zelda replied and the guy shook his head.
"No, your majesty..."
Zelda cut him off in mid Sentence.
"Stop calling us that!" Zelda yelled, making the guy and Athena's eyes wide.
"No... I will not... I can just say by her eye color that is changing to blue color.She has very rare eye changing color... And you know what that Rare eye color changing means. Don't you?"
The guy raised his voice a little louder that time, as the woman was a little irritated seeing his personality. And, as he wanted to know some things about this family and what they were doing there! He was sure that they were royals.
But, why were the Royals staying there in that forest?
