Beyond Small (Book 1)

Snow Fall

Steve's POV:

'What the hell?' I wanted to shout but I fought with myself. "Why bother barking at the dog who barks at you?" I thought and let it go!!!

I was looking at Bloom who seemed quiet happy being the precious one ! But I really miss her as my Bloom, we were getting close through weekend and this guy " Soul Mate"

"Nix, its your time to shine" Porta said. "Try something" he pressed. "Like what?" I asked completely out of clue.

"You can imagine it in your mind. Feel the coldness of snow and then imagine it in your head." He sounded like ' its a child's game!!'

I tried hard but failed twice. Then I just relaxed my mind, released my anger. I thought about Bloom, my love and the chill of snow. I imagined the snow cloud just covering the sky above us. At last I waved my fingers up in the sky.

"I love it when it's snowing!!" I heard Bloom and opened my eyes. It actually worked, it was snowing gently.

"Great" I heard Procella. "It's quite rough at the beginning but you stood clean, and gentle." he added. Amor marched forward and looked at me.

"What were you thinking about??" Amor spoke in a low tone. Without a hesitation I whispered in his ears, "Love". "Interesting!!" he shouted loud. And I could see eyes fixed on us.

"I.... was asking about.......... you know......" Amor trailed off. "That's it for today" Porta said and gave an doubtful look to Amor. They all were busy now.

"You my boy, were supposed to be cold but I can sense the heat that melted you." Amor said and patted at my shoulders.

I didn't find it necessary to ask him to keep it a secret that I can be in love. Porta brought a log through the purple portal of his with less effort. While Procella and Tempus brought them rolling.

Flama brought some firewoods and placed it in between the two logs. "Ignis do you mind firing up a little. " Amor made a gentle request.

I saw her close her eyes and raise her hands forward. Everyone else were looking at the wood. She didn't even opened her eyes this time and there was fire.

I clearly saw a drop of tear from her eye as she pushed it away and spoke "There you go " and smiled widely.

Seriously that girl, she just cried and managed to throw a big perfectly perfect smile that covered up. It was like a shock I saw.

"Nix, Ignis you can gently wrap yourself with your wings and sleep." Procello said and slept right away. "How can he sleep so fast?" Flama questioned.

"Because, its not easy to create a storm and control it" Amor sounded full of sympathy as he replied with his eyes still on Procello. Bloom gazed at the moon right after what he said.

After few minutes everyone was fast asleep and I could hear snoring. I stood up and flapped my wings.

I flew over the log easily. Like I was doing it since my birth. I landed at the other end of log where Bloom was looking at the moon and her face was bright in the moonlight.

No wonder she called herself a moon child. I could see how fond of moon was she!
