It was him the homeless man, the one i'd been seeing today. He was standing behind me. I plucked up to walk over to him and demand what his problem was. I vaguely heard Sasha whimpering behind me telling me to stay put. He seemed amused by my behaviour and stared right at me.
'Who are you?' , I demanded
'The time has come', He said in a low, raspy voice but not inaudible
'For what?', I whispered
'Um.. Sheya?', Sasha said quietly 'How can you understand what he's saying?'. That brought me back to my senses, I turned to her
'What you can't understand him?, I asked her
'She is a mere mortal,' He smirked
'What and your not?!', I scoffed momentarily forgetting that Sasha couldn't understand us.
'No and neither are you' He said simply
'What that's crazy!', I retorted 'And you haven't answered my question yet'
'My name is Alecto and I serve in your father's domain', He said
Wooah! My father?! His kingdom? I didn't even know my father let alone he was a king or something
'I've never met him, I don't know who he is or why he sent you and I dont care!', I said angrily
Who does he think he is? He abandons me and my mother when I was just a baby when we needed him the most and now he sends someone to check on me?! I was furious
'He said to..uh.. expect your anger', He said
'Why have you come?', I asked curious to know his purpose here irrespective of my anger
'Your father needs your help, there is trouble',He said
'My help?', I asked. He didn't reply, he turned to Sasha and looked her in the eye and said something, with that she turned around and walked towards her house stiffly.
'Hey! What did you do to her?', I yelled starting towards her. He stopped me.
'It is just a precaution, she isn't hurt. This way your mother will not be worried about your whereabouts. Your father does not wish to worry her', He said firmly. With that he started to change.
His face became shrivelled like a hag, his hands turned to clawed talons, his teeth became yellow and sharp like razors worst of all were his glowing evil eyes. The last thing I saw was him whispering something in my ear and then every thing went black.
