The Goddess

Chapter Fifteen

I was about to step forward when I felt a hand on my left shoulder, slightly pulling me back into my hiding place. I turned to see that Vee was holding me back, and I was confused by this. I realized she was looking at me with caution and concern. "Adam, what are you doing?" Vee asked, her tone concerned about the course of action I planned.

I looked at her for a moment, then said.

"I have to help her." At that moment, I ran off towards the crowd, putting my hood back in place. Silene and Vee muttered in fear and confusion, exclaiming in whispers, "Adam, come back!" But I ignored them and focused on hoping to save Avira.

I knew I had only met her for a few moments, but after that moment with her, I knew she was worth saving. She even helped me; she could help me with my plan of finding the other survivors and how to get back home.

I looked over and froze when the queen looked and towered over the pain and injured Avira. She slapped her in the face, causing me to that very moment to shout at them.

"Stop it!" At that moment, I thought I spoke English, but instead, I spoke Hexian. Every anthro bee, including the queen and thorn and even Avira, perked up to look towards my direction, and even though they could see my face from the hood I had over me, I could see Avira's eyes looking towards my direction. When she knew who I was, she froze in fear, but I wasn't scared; I was only scared for her.

That's when I returned my face to see the queen looking at me as I stood feet away from her and Avira, including Thorn, who I also saw was giving me an angry expression on her face. She growled, saying, "You." She said, about to come after me when the queen signaled her to stop. This confused me, and I waited to see if anything wrong would happen between the queen and me or, even worse, Avira.

Thorn growled and struggled to hold her emotions when she looked at me. I furrowed my brows at her until the anthro bees surrounding me backed away to let the queen reveal where I was.

When she looked at me, she seemed slightly shocked but kept a neutral, stern look on her face. I didn't want to know what she thought; I was only here to get Avira back. 

I saw she was breathing slightly heavily, but before I could say or do anything, that concerned me. 

The queen spoke bluntly, trying to keep her tone professional, and spoke in her alien language. She was finished, she said, "Greetings, we are privileged to meet you." She spoke, but I stared at her with furrowed brows, expressing anger. And she didn't seem to understand this, so I said in a dark tone of emotion, speaking in anger. "You have something that belongs to me, and I am not here to make a piece. I'm only here for her," I said, which caused the queen to freeze, and even Thorn was surprised by the fact that I could speak their language. 

Even the nearest anthro bee citizens were shocked; I spoke clear enough for the queen to look at me, and she even started to walk towards me. The guards were concerned by the fact of their queen walking toward the alien being that fell from the sky that came from the object. She strolled up to me, and I was slightly hesitant about what Vee and Silene told me about her. I wasn't sure what to believe. 

Still, all I wanted was to help Avira and keep her safe.

But when the queen was only 1 foot away from me and was staring at me, I was confused as to why she was only staring at me.

She then spoke, in almost a whisper, "What are you?" she asked me in her Hexian language. I only stared at her because I was tired of everyone asking that question, and I didn't answer until I said, "Let her go." I spoke.

She looked at me momentarily before looking back at Avira and then at Thorn. 

She gestured Thorn toward Avira, and Thorned nodded to the queen. She walked over to Avira and forced her up, but before I could turn my gaze back at the queen, I saw Avira crying. She seemed to be smiling at me, grateful that I was okay, but I was more concerned about her.
