Zayope chronicles

Chapter 5

He secured me with his Batman like gown and slowly started to move... Out of the window!

"Uh, are you sure I won't drop from this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr and Miss stanfield are your legal guardians now right?" he asked ignoring the question I raised.

How can't he not know who my guardians are? I thought he was supposed to know everything about me.

"Yeah I'm Hope Stanfield. But you didn't answer my question" I raised my voice.

He spoke, "Oh sorry, you won't fall unless you let go of me" he assured me.

"Will you?"

"I don't wanna die so why would I" I replied as he flew higher and higher from the ground. To be on top and see everything is really awesome but at the same time, I was never good in tolerating heights. I hated heights more than anything in the world but I didn't wanna tell him that because I didn't want him to think of me as a scared little girl. I wanted yo be confident and fearless for his eyes.

"So where are you taking me?" I broke the silence and asked.

He sighed. "Your home."

"My home? The one I used to liven in with my parents?" I urged as my body started reacting to the excitement I was feeling.

"Yes,I'm taking you there." a smirk appeared to his lips.

"But what for?" I threw another question since the whole thing didn't make any sense.

"You really like asking a lot of questions don't you?" He complemented and gave me a worried look.

But I was serious. Whenever I asked my aunt to take me there, she always said there's nothing much left to go and see.

And then I remembered , where was  my aunt now?

"By the way, is Aunt Grace at home right now" I  seized thinking of the worst.

If she finds out I went out with him...

"No" he replied stiffly.

"Owkay.. where did she go? I mean she was in front of my door moments before you appeared so..."

"We're here" he announced ignoring my sudden agitations.
He decreased his speed and landed on the ground.

Wow, I didn't feel anything until we landed. The wind definitely  shook me a little and I wanted to throw up.

"Quick,Let's get in." he grabbed arms.

I glanced  at the house and got confused. This is not the house I remembered. My house was beautiful and full of flower gardens and everything. This house looked like an abandoned building which you got every 3 or 4 blocks away.

"Could we stop for a sec. The whole trip shook me off a little."

"Sure,take your time but not too long." He stated and started walking.

"Wait." I reverted.

He stopped walking and turned around.

"Can you take off the mask? I wanna see your face."

"I'm sorry hope but I can't do that. We're not allowed to take off our masks and show our faces to humans. If I do that, I'll get into a lot of trouble." He explained and turned back away.

"Can you at least tell me your name?"

"My name is zayor. And if your probably wondering how old I am, I'm 16 just like you" he smiled.

"OK cool!" I smiled back. I felt dizzy so I lays  on the ground  for a while. 

I got back up and entered the house quietly. I glanced at the house and suddenly felt like I've been there  before, like I was finally back.

I started running here and there and called my mom and dads name again and again.

"Shhhhhhh. What are you doing?" He grabbed my wrists and shutted my mouth with his hands.
He let go after he was sure I wasn't gonna shout again.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it. For  a minute there, I thought u brought me here because you wanted me to see my parents." I replied apologetically.

"Of course not. Don't you know your parents died?"

"I know."

My eyes suddenly teared up as the memories flashed through my head.
He must've seen my reaction to that so he came closer to comfort me.

"I'm sorry hope, I didn't mean to remind you of them. I also lost my  parents. They died a couple of months ago." He frowned and linked  my hands with his.

"What happened to them?" I asked shocked.

"They died protecting me. A letter came to my mom that day. It said that she should give me away to the boss. She refused so they had her killed. "

I felt guilty take over him as his face suddenly darkened. He must've blamed himself for her death just like I did. Every single day I cursed myself for everything that happened.

If only my mom ignored that damned  message...

"So then you saved me the night my parents were killed?" I asked aiming to change the subject.

"Yes. My mom told me your name and asked me to go find you. So I  came to your car. But then I saw a huge fire coming up from the sky that was about to hit your car. I couldn't save you all so I took you out of the car first. But by the time I headed back to save them...-"

"It was already too late." I said and huffed.  I could barely hear what he said afterwards. My eyes were full of tears again and I wanted to cry my heart out.

"I'm really sorry hope. I brought you here so you could get me the letter that was sent to your mother that day." He cleared his throat and continued, "Its really important."

"What makes you think it's here?" I asked back bewildered of his question.

"Lets just say a lucky guess." He winced.

"This is more than a luck guess. I don't trust you." I shrugged  my body and unlinked our hands.

"I don't expect you to trust me hope. Your parents were fighting because of that text and its my duty to find it." He reciprocated and gave me a strange look.

"Whatevz. I don't know how the hell you knew it was here but you got it right. Its upstairs."
