一I didn’t know you drove.
Neither did I. Louis looks at Ana.
I giggle a little and look at the window.
一You know Louis I thought you lived in the inf…
Should I take it personally?
Well, it’s hard to think that you live in a house.
Hm, I don’t like that.
一 It’s just that you’re a…
Before I can finish speaking, he interrupts me.
一I get it, no need to say anything else, pay attention here you’re vulnerable, so please, if anything happens call me.
一I got it.
I get out of the car and close the door, the students who were passing nearby were looking at me and the car. I get embarrassed and get in.
一Ana!
I hear someone shout my name I turn around and Sandra runs towards me.
一I was worried about you, what about your injury?
I look at her and don’t say a word, I approach Sandra and give her a strong hug.
一I missed you.
Sandra returns the hug and looks at me.
一I’m sorry for lying…
一No need to apologize it’s ok, let’s go the class is about to start.
***
I sit in my seat and the class starts, I don’t see Gabriel here, and I start to suspect him but I can’t jump to conclusions.
The teacher finishes explaining the subject and we already have to do two assignments, I can already feel the saga of the assignments starting.
I look at Sandra who is concentrating, how could she be someone like Louis? She seems the most normal of all of us, now it makes sense when the first creature wanted to attack me, and as soon as I arrived she was like that, Louis must have talked to her.
Hours later the class ended and we left.
一He’s a super cat, does he have a girlfriend?
一Maybe, but who will be the lucky girl?
I hear two girls whispering and look ahead, it was Louis waiting for me leaning against his car.
Everyone who passed by admired him, I pack my bag and walk over to him.
一You didn’t have to come.
一Hmm, I make the rules, you just obey, get in the car.
I get in the car and put on my seatbelt.
Everyone is talking about you.
一Is this bad? Louis looks at Ana.
No.
Then we can go.
Louis starts the car and begins to drive.
一Can he disguise himself as a human?
一He’s never done that, but why the question?
一I just wanted to know.
一Have you seen anyone strange?
一No.
***
一The day is approaching, but it will be hard to do this with them so close, what if something happened?
Gabriel looks at the car disappearing into the landscape.
一Louis I’ll get the book and it will shoot her down at once, I’ll put my plan into action. Gabriel cracks a smile.
Gabriel walks in the opposite direction and drives away.
***
一Where are we going?
一I’d love to.
一I’m glad you like the idea, you need to relax you just study and besides your life is a bit hectic, I want to make you forget about the bad things that happened.
Louis opens a beautiful gentle smile, I look at him and admire him, although in the beginning, he seemed like a thick shell, but now I see him in a different way, and I’m happy to be by his side.
Zyan’s past.
一Get out of here you filthy animal.
People look at me and do nothing, my previous owner loved me, but from some time ago he started to get strange with me.
I’ve never been so humiliated like this, I lost my family and ended up in foster along with the other animals so one day he adopted me, but I don’t understand why he acts this way.
I crouched down next to the pole, he approached me with a bucket of water to throw at me, a man appeared in front of me and saved me, my owner ended up throwing water on this boy.
一Why did you stand in front of him?
And why are you doing this to him?
Um, I adopted this animal to help me but it’s useless.
It’s easy to hurt someone who can’t protect himself, isn’t it?
Get out of the way, do you want to be the hero now?
No, I’m not the hero.
I look at the cat and blink.
Pay attention, your life is a nightmare, you will hear and see things, in the end you will end up in the asylum. Louis’s eyes get red.
I turn and start walking, I look to the side and see the cat following me.
Don’t follow me I’m not a good person for you.
Let me stay by your side.
一No.
But I have nowhere else to go.
That’s your problem.
I go back on my way. I stop again and look back the little animal was a little bruised, I look to the side and take a deep breath I approach and crouch down.
一Do you really want to stay by my side?
Yes, my name is Zyan, I will do anything you say.
Okay, come.
I stretch out my arm and it approaches me, I disappear and go back home.
一From now on this will be your home, I will take care of your wound.
How long has he been doing this to you?
一It started a while ago, I don’t understand why he did it, I’ve always done things the right way.
It’s not your fault, he’s got a bad heart.
一And what do you do?
I protect people who carry my book.
Can I help you with that?
You’re still too young for this stuff, when you’re older, we can talk about it again.
Can you teach me?
I cross my arms and look at the surprised puppy.
Are you really interested?
Yes, master, teach me and I promise not to disappoint you.
I look at him with admiration and give a gentle smile.
一I will grant your wish, and you can take revenge on your former master.
一I’ll strive to the end…
Good, since you’ve made your decision, wait for me here, I’ll get the book.
I open a small cupboard and take out a book from inside, I approach the puppy and crouch down.
一This book is very important, I want you to study everything about it, I will give you two days, and then I will ask you some questions based on your answers you can live with me forever, if you fail you will walk out that door and never appear here again, do you understand?
Yes I understand, I’ll do as you wish.
I put the book down and get up again.
