When Two Worlds Collide

9

Drew's POV

When I was younger, I asked God for a mate.

He answered my prayer, but not in the way I was expecting.

You see, I was hoping for a girl with talent, beauty, and kindness.

Charina has all of those things, with the exception of kindness. Unfortunately, kindness is usually a key element in a true relationship. This has already been proven by the war Charina and I are in. Sadly, she's winning. To add to that, Lena was taken away to who-knows-where.

I guess God decided that making my life miserable would be an excellent decision.

Happy thoughts, Drew. Think of rainbows and butterflies and-

What in the world am I saying? Only little girls think about rainbows. Let's face it. I'm miserable, and there is no point in denying it by putting on a happy facade.

My thoughts are interrupted by the opening and closing of a door.

Someone walks in.

Hope enters me at the thought of it being Lena, but this newfound hope is quickly shattered when I realize who it is.

"You're one of Charina's coven members. You're name is Elephant, right?" I interrogate.

"Eleazer! My name is Eleazer!" he shouts, frustration gathering in his tone.

"Okay, okay. I was close, though."

"It hasn't even been one minute, and you have already disturbed my inner peace."

Inner peace? Who is he? Ghandi?

"Then leave." I state simply.

"I cannot."

"Why? Oh, I know! Is it because you love me too much?"

"No! I am simply here because I have orders from Charina to gather sustenance for your mortal body."

"Oh ... Thanks, I guess."

Eleazer(I am still mentally laughing at his name) tosses me a can. I read the label.

KENNY'S DOG FOOD.

"The best of the best of the best"

Since 1895

Did he seriously buy me dog food?

"You stare at the can as if it disgusts you. Will you not feast on it? I persevered through great troubles just to provide you with food. I even purchased the can that claimed to be the best of the best of the best." Eleazer tells me.

"Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but this is dog food."I inform.

"Yes, it is."

"Don't you see the problem in this situation?"

"No, I am afraid not. I received orders to buy you food. Just as requested, I went to a nearby store and bought you a delicious can of food."

"I don't want to anger you, but this is dog food, and I'm not a dog. I can't eat this. Sorry."

If looks could kill, I'd be seven feet under right now. Eleazer is intensely glaring at me, as if I'll burn up in flames if he keeps that up for a while.

"One day," Eleazer says.

"One day what?" I ask.

"One day I will finally be pardoned from the presence of you and your pack of disgusting, ungrateful, horrible, hideous, vile-"
