chapter 3

Blue Shield Crescent ( McLoy family residence)

"You and Kylie should get some rest, I'd take care of the rest," Nathan said as he opened the door.

"I know what you're up to my love, I'd keep Kylie in her crib and then join you," Beatrice said smiling lightly at Nathan.

"Okay, see you at the garage" Nathan replied as he kissed Beatrice quickly on the lips before leaving.

As soon as Nathan left for the garage, Beatrice gracefully walked into the living room with mixed feelings.

The apartment held so many memories, both the good and the ugly ones. This place was where she lived after the heartless demons murdered her parents and left her half-dead for God knows who.

"This apartment has been my haven and I won't let anyone take it from me," Beatrice said with a serious face before leaving the room to help Nathan.

Beatrice and Nathan got all the weapons they used in fighting supernatural beings.

" I guess we would be making good use of it from now on," Beatrice murmured.

" Uhm..my love," Nathan said with a low tone that got Beatrice's heart pounding, it sounded like Nathan wanted to say something serious." I was thinking we should enroll Kylie in the warriors' nursery, so she would learn the basics.. you know just in case". He said with a shrug.

Beatrice was silent for a while before responding. " I think that would be best for her," she said with a smile before leaning in to hug Nathan. " "We will get through this as a family" she whispered.

"Yes! We will " Nathan whispered back while nodding his head.

**Five years later

Beatrice was woken up by the light kisses and pressure Nathan was showering her with.

"My love, wake up or you'll be late," he said.

"Argh! Five minutes more please" Beatrice weakly murmured before tightly holding up to the pillows.

Nathan couldn't help but chuckle at his wife's cute behavior. He felt so blessed the past five years had been peaceful. There was no news about supernatural beings, Beatrice was happy and Kylie was growing, what more could he ever pray for?

Nathan got up from the bed before heading to the tiny door in their room. As soon as he opened it, he was welcomed by the little figure standing on her bed.

" Good morning Daddy," Kylie greeted.

"Morning my little princess, how was your night?" Nathan asked as he carried Kylie and hugged her, earning a giggle from her.

" Fine daddy, where is mummy?" Kylie asked. It was a tradition for both Nathan and Beatrice to always greet her first before starting the day's work. Today felt strange so Kylie wiggled free from Nathan's hands before running to her mom's bed.

" Mom! Mom!!" Kylie said, using her little hands to shake Beatrice's lap.

"Yes, my baby," Beatrice said before squeezing Kylie for a tight hug.

As Nathan joined them in bed for a group bear hug, the alarm rang loudly.

"Oh goodness!!" Beatrice exclaimed, slightly hitting her hand on her head which made both Nathan and Kylie chuckle. Beatrice was acting like a child.

*7:30 am that same day

"Honey, Kyle!! Hurry, we wouldn't want to be late on our princess first day at school" Nathan said

Kylie McLoy, fondly called Kyle by her parents, was starting kindergarten class at the Council of Humans (CH). Kylie never acted as a child, she was smarter for a child of five years but her parents still wanted her to grow within her roots as a supernatural being hunter.

"Well we are here now," Beatrice said as she came down the stairs with Kylie beaming smiles at Nathan.

"Phew, finally! Let's get into the car" Nathan said with a soft laugh.

The drive to the school was a short and happy one and finally, the McLoy's arrived at Hartley's School which was founded by the Council of Humans to raise future supernatural being hunters for world peace.

"Welcome masters" the school gatekeeper bowed his head while greeting Nathan and Beatrice. He had to accord them that respect because they were the strongest supernatural hunters.

"Oh, please, Billy! Don't flatter us" Beatrice said, smiling lightly. "Just address us as the McLoy couple, we are here as ordinary parents as well" she added

"Alright ma'am, sir, and our little…" Billy was interrupted by the soothing voice he heard.

"Kylie, my name is Kylie McLoy, Kyle for short," Kylie said to Billy with a smile before the family went to the school.

Beatrice was proud, when she first stepped foot in Hartley's, she was broken, vengeful, and full of anger but her little angel was here without those feelings, she squeezed Nathan's hands before heading to the administration office.

Everyone at school seemed to like Kylie, this made Beatrice and Nathan at ease. Their daughter was finally getting a new family...

Kylie had her uniform fitted before proceeding to her classroom where she met Miss Swiss and her classmates, especially some mean-looking girls that sat at the right corner, Diane, Rossett, and Vera.

Kylie was paired with Vera, who sat behind Diane and Rossett. Even as kids, Diane and Rossett emitted a mean aura and they also stared at Kylie with cold eyes.

"Hi, I'm Vera," Vera said, smiling at Kylie.

"I'm…" Kylie was interrupted.

"Kylie McLoy, " Vera said, chuckling, "I heard you during the class presentation.

Kylie didn't know why but she felt at peace around Vera. She and Vera spoke at length and even teamed up during coloring class, she knew she would never be alone as long as she was with Vera.

Though only Diane and Rossett gave a mean aura, all her classmates, especially Vera, seemed nice.

**Daichi kingdom

"Isn't she so cute?" Queen Tiffany said while looking at Kylie through the crystal ball, but …she sharply turned around to face Yohan. "Who would watch over her since Reed is not so competent" she added with a worried face.

"I will!!"
