A Tale Of Revenge And Redemption

LYRA'S P.O.V.

My eyes flew open as the car came to a halt and I looked down in my arms where Zayn was still fast asleep. I let out a little yawn and realized we were in front of a house that made me furrow my eyebrows.

“Are you awake?” I was startled by Mave's voice, and reality brushed its way through my head.

“Yeah I am. Where are we?” He stepped out of the car and opened the back door for me to step out.

“This is my house”

“Are you serious?” My jaws dropped in amusement, and he let out a little laugh before I caught myself, “... Oh my goodness! This is beautiful, Mave" I looked at the house which was covered with black paint and tainted glass.

“Well the house is now yours as well, until you find yourself an apartment” I walked towards him and gave him a side hug not wanting to crush Zayn

I hadn't seen my father in a long time, yet it felt like Mave was him. My heart swelled at the thought of my father Darius, they were so wonderful and now I had Mave

“Are you crying?”

“No, I'm just happy” I smiled while he carried my things from the front

We both walked inside, and I was hit by the sweet scent of lavender lingering across the house. If the exterior of the house was beautiful, then inside was a paradise.

An older woman who looked so lovely stepped out of the room and furrowed her eye at first, but then she saw Mave behind me before she smiled as though she recognized me

“You must be Lyra, it's good to meet you” I turned to look at Mave confused

“I told her over the phone before I came to pick you up” I smiled as I leaned into the woman's arms

“It's nice to meet you too” A little cry caught all our attention and I looked at Zayn who was biting in his blanket

“How cute, can I?” She put her arms out, and I immediately put him in her arms.

I looked at them get familiar, and I fought the urge to cry, they were kind-hearted people to take me in without even knowing who I am

“You must be hungry, come, I prepared something specially for you” She grabbed my hand while pulling me into the kitchen

“You never make anything special for me” Mave pout and I couldn't help but laugh a little

“You are a grownup, get over yourself. She's a beautiful young mother, you should have shame for even thinking of having something special”

“At least I get a full meal in am hour or two”

“Maverick Johnson!” She blushed in embarrassment and all he did was laugh, “... Forgive my husband for being so vague with his words” She glared at him, but I laughed lightly.

“It's so sweet watching you both like this, it almost feels like home. You both remind me of my parents and this is delicious” my voice was soft, but I was undoubtedly pleased

My parents acted no different from them and I couldn't be less happy of being here even if they were humans

“What about your parents?” She asked with a concerned look on her face.

“Don't trouble her, she needs rest” Maverick nudged her shoulder

“It's not a problem at all. I mean they died a long time ago, so I'm kind of used to it now. They were the best and right now, it feels like they are still here and never left” They both looked at me with sad eyes, but Zayn made a loud noise that made us laugh.
