Ella’s POV
We got to the path that led to the human world and I didn’t hesitate to move forward. I held two of the boys by the hand as I walked and Liam had the third one in his hand while Kevin took the front row.
“We have to go through that crack in the cave and we should be out on the road that leads to the human world.”
Two hours later, we were out on the road as Kevin had predicted. It wasn’t hard to find it as there were some people making their way to the human world as well from the intersection market where I had pawned off that gold. All we had to do was to follow them and we were out.
“Where to?” Liam asked.
“We should find a bus here to convey us to where we want to go.” I said.
I had lived with the humans in the utopia town and knew a bit of the words they used while living with the psycho count and cooking with the servants he had.
As far as the law was concerned in the human world, we were illegal immigrants and couldn’t afford to travel by flight. That would be the faster route for us to get to where we were going but we didn’t have a passport and the documentation we would have to do and the screening that we would have to be subjected to wasn’t worth it asides that it was possible to get us in trouble.
Moreover, we had the time to waste and didn’t need to be in a rush. It wasn’t likely that three months would roll in automatically. What we had to do was to until the next three months minus the few days we had spend on this journey.
We found a bus soon and we entered with the others. I wondered if they were all coming from the intersection market and had seen us there with them but no one here looked like they could recognize us. Some of them had suitcase with them and wore normal corporate dresses that made me doubt that they were there with us at the intersection market. These ones didn’t seem like the type to be in that kind of place.
I was sure that they would have screamed if they had seen the red-haired man with the two colors of eyes or the man that looked like his face was made from a cardboard.
I smiled at how epic that would have been, having someone scream and disrupt the quiet that was in that place as everyone went about their business.
“Is there something funny, mummy?” Nathan said as he settled beside me on the bus and saw the smile on my face.
“No.” I shook my head.
I calculated in my head how much would be enough to get us to where we needed to be. The bus fare had been surprisingly cheaper than I had anticipated and I hoped that the money with me would last us for twice as long as I had thought that it would. I would be relieved if I got some gold back home without pawning them off.
“Mum, look!” Neo pointed as we walked towards the next bus stop.
I smiled at him. The human world was truly a busy one. It would be hard to find this large of a crowd walking in a place even in the afternoon in our homeland but here we were at night, walking with a lot of people going about their business and focusing on where they are going.
“Is it starting to seem like an adventure you would enjoy?” I asked the boys. “Is it still boring?”
“No, mum.” They grinned and looked away from me, soaking up the magnificent sight before their eyes.
I loved their composure though. They had kept their cool as they saw everything they had never seen in their lives. I had been prepared for them shouting in excitement at the sight of the buses, tarred roads, street lamp shining above us, the slow music pouring from speakers around us but they hadn’t lost their cool until they saw the huge crowd of people walking with us.
I guessed they found human beings more appealing than technology. That was a proof that they were humans at heart, just like their parents. I gushed with pride.
They would make very fine alphas. I smirked and rolled my eyes at the thought in my head. I couldn’t believe that I was thinking like that already and quickly cautioned myself. I wasn’t going to let Eliza get the best of me. I wasn’t never going to accept that my boys were going to have one mate. I reminded myself that I was not here to save my boys’ mate but a random little girl that I might probably have no connection to now or in the future so I could get the ten years that was stolen from my mate back.
That was it. I needed to keep reminding that and everything would be all right.
“Where to now?” Liam asked as we got down from the second bus.
“We need to find an apartment that we can all stay in, buy groceries and start looking for the girl.”
“What if we don’t find her on time?” Kevin sighed.
I sighed. “I hope we will find her on time.”
We should so being here wouldn’t be in vain. I couldn’t afford to waste gold and time in vain.
“Which girl are we looking for, mum?” Nathan asked, looking at me. “I thought we are here on an adventure.”
