The Orphan

Insert 15

Sne
I woke up to voices and I quickly got out of bed and walked slowly to find my mom surrounded my 3 guys. 2 with horns and one without.
Mom: We got a plan
Guy without horns: You better have a plan before he meets his chosen one or shit is about to hit the fan
Mom: i have a plan don't worry.
I watched as they gave mom a small bottle and she drank it and they left with mom standing there praying I think. I quickly turned and ran to my room and locked the door praying that on Monday I do as I was told.

Zikhona
We walked to the lounge that was empty and he took a through and wrapped me with it.
Me: What are you doing?
Luniko: Taking you out. We need to talk before tomorrow.
We walked out to the back yard where there was a fire pit and there was a fire lit and some mushrooms and wine. He really loves his wine.
Me: this is beautiful
Luniko: Thank you.
We sat down by the pit and he grabbed my legs placing them on his thighs.
Me: This is nice, really nice
Luniko: Glad that you like.
Me: Thanks for the weekend.
Luniko: That what i want to talk to you about.
Me: Okay
Luniko: my grand parents are coming tomorrow and some more family and there are things that you will question when you see them.

Luniko
She looked at me.
Zikhona: Oh
Me: yes, and I just need you to trust me. Ill eventually answer everything that you have questions too.
Zikhona: Okay.
She looked at me for a second and shifted.
Me: Talk to me.
Zikhona: Its nothing
Me: Come on, the way you looking at me says it's something.
She looked at me.
Zikhona: Is this real? I mean us. You and me and you wanting a future with me. Is that what you really want?
I smiled at her.
Me: Yes, I need us.
Zikhona: Why?
Me: What you mean why?
Zikhona: You can marry anyone. Your parents can arrange for you with any kingdom. Why me?
I thought of it for a second and smiled.
Me: Cause you my chosen one.
She looked at me confused.
Me: every person in this world have a person made for them and that person is they chosen one. I believe that you are my chosen one.
Zikhona: Do you believe in soul mates
Me: Yes I do. I also believe in destiny. I knew the moment I first laid eyes on you that this girl is mine.
Zikhona: when did you lay eyes on my?

Zikhona
He laughed that smooth laughter that gave me tinkles.
Luniko: In the parking lot.
I raised my eyebrow.
Luniko: Than I was like let me follow you and I followed you to the mall.
I looked at him shocked.
Me: You the laptop guy?
He grinned at me shyly.
Luniko: I saw you looking at it so I figured you wanted it. I smiled at him.
Me: Thank you.
Luniko: A pleasure.
He handed me a stick with mash mellows and I smiled at him. The fire burnt brighter and bigger and I snuggled closer to him and he held me and in that moment I told myself whatever happens am not letting go of this one. I hope and pray he loves me as much as I do. Yes his actions shows it but I want him to say it so that my worries and fears could go down a notch.

I watched from a distance as they cuddled up on the firs as Zweli walked closer looking.
Zweli: He seems lighter
Me: And happier
Zweli: I can't help but think he might hate us for wanting to protect him all those years
Me: He doesn't, instead he loves you guys so much. I see it in his eyes when he talks of you guys
Zweli: yeah but he more closer to you
I turned at my brother.
Me: Why you say that.
Zweli: I know he told you first about going to Johannesburg.
I kept quiet for a while and turned to find him staring at me.
Me: Sometimes you guys are too strict on him. So when he wants to find ways to break things on you he talks to me first.
Zweli: I envy the bond you too have
Me: Don't. You cant compete with this!! I turned around spinning making him laugh.
Me: You a great father. My kids love you more than I so we even.
We stood there looking at them.
Me: What we going to do when the war starts?
Zweli: I really don't know!!
Me: You guys still don't know what we up against?
Zweli: Nope.
Me: Well grandpa team os still working out sources and chatter. The president is okay with him. The government doesn't know the extend of his powers and there haven't been any chatter in the underground world.
Zweli: Does she knows that she is about to marry one of the worlds most dangerous creature?
I turned looking at her content with him.
Me: Does he know that he is the worlds apocalypse?
We drowned our drinks with our thoughts going wild. What next from here? What will trigger him to show us his powers? Why is everyone so afraid of him? And is Zikhona going to stay with him through all the shit that about to happen? Those were the questions going on in my mind....
