Beyond Small (Book 1)

Family talk

Steve's POV:

After a dream like night I was awake smiling. When I was awake Bloom was still sleeping.

I noticed that everyone else had gone somewhere except Flama who was also dozing off. "Steve" I heard a familiar feminine voice.

"Lena" I said happily. "Come here" she said and I hugged her. She stroked my hair. "I know I'm gonna sound 'so-not-like-me' but I missed you" I said.

"How did you found me?" I was amazed. We were in middle of a thick forest and I still didn't knew what shall I call this place.

"I have something else much more important to say." She said and we went deep in the forest. "What is it ?" I said leaning on a tree. "You know it right, I'm not your real sister and you hated me from the very beginning." She sounded sad.

"I was just sad, you were hiding secrets about our family" I said . "I'm sorry" I added later.

"I promise you I would explain. About me adopting you........" she said and paused. "Well.... your parents they found me and took me to their world. I was an abandoned human child and they were childless." she stopped remembering the past moments.

" I was 8 years old by then. I can still see their faces, how much they desired to have a child." She said wiping few tears away. I had never seen her cry. Not even when I called her a bitch for not letting me invite my friends at grade 4.

All of a sudden I felt sad, sorry for her. I had been a very bad brother after all. "Every thing went on smoothly they thought me as their own child and loved me so much."

" I was 14 when it happened." she said sadly. "What?" I questioned. " The angels with dark magic who were abandoned from the kingdom, they broke a war." she said looking at me.

"When the war broke she was pregnant with you. I had never seen her that happy. When you were born there was a furious war. The situation got worse by the days." She said and closed her eyes.

"John, your father he requested me to take you far away from the kingdom. To a safer place, a smaller one."she marched towards me.

"I wish I could have been a better sister" she said wiping her tears with her hands. " When I brought you here at earth, John had handed me a scroll. About you being Nix and the Snow King." She said cupping her hands in my cheek as I was still a child.

"It was July 5 when Aliza, your mother she came to me and told me about Bloom. "

"Your a guardian angel too. Your mother has the power to peek in future so, she told me about your future."

"That's great, it explains well." I said. "So.... what's with me and Bloom?" I asked hopefully. " Don't know she can just peek and when she did all she said was to tell you to stay close with her." She said with a smile.

"That's it then. Its gonna be our last sister-brother talk." she said and tears rolled again.

"You were more like a mother to me." I said and hugged her. " All right get going your angel friends might be worried for you." She said and pushed me gently and I waved her.
