Being Human

Chapter 1

Three years had exactly passed, the scratch marks on the wall show the many days that Angel had stayed behind the bars of her prison. Her light blue eyes were dull as her pale hand trace the lining of the skull, she leaned her cheek on her arms as she listens to people gathering in the room.

She shifted herself away from the skull that she had not bothered to remove from the throne while her eyes landed on two little boys that were holding flowers she learned were called daisies but then her eyes shifted towards to see a woman with sickly features.

The two little boys place down the daisies in front of the bars before they look at her with pleading expressions as the nymph stared at them with a blank expression but she stood up and approached the two little boys and the woman who stared at her in admiration.

"Miss Goddess, our mommy is sick and we brought these daisies so you could give her your blessing and save her!" Angel stared at them before her eyes looked over to the sickly mother. Her heart twisted but she pushes the feelings in the back of her mind as she held up her shackled hands .

"Place your hand through bars and into my hand." She spoke so quietly but the woman nodded her head weakly as she reached her hand out and put her hand in the nymph's hand until a light blue glow cover the older's woman form before it faded leaving the two little boy's mother to be healthy.

"Thank you my lady!" The woman smiled brightly as she grabs the boys hands and quickly walked out with a bounce in her steps while the children wave goodbye to Angel.

Angel was about to turn away until she senses a presence nearby, her eyes dart around only for it to land on the man that had found her. Dark brown eyes clashing with dull light blue eyes, one filled with adoration while the other was filled with pain, the male approached the golden bars that separated him and the nymph.

He stared down at the small female that stood 5'4"ft but even with Angel's height, she still stared up at him with the same dull eyes but it didn't faze him the slightest bit to see the nymph in front of him had changed over the past three years.

"Angel, how are you?" She was the first to break eye contact as her gaze shifted toward to her bare feet but she didn't respond causing him to frown. "You know it's rude to not respond to someone."

The nymph wanted to scream at him but she bit her tongue as she kept her gaze on her feet. "I'm tired... Make it quick, I wish to rest." She whispered quietly as she listened to the human male in front of her chuckle.

"Guess healing the woman must of have been exhausting for you," Angel's thought swirled with negative thoughts that were directed to not only the male but the village that took her and caged her. 'I'm tired of dealing with you and your village.'  Angel thought tiredly but she was taken back out of her thoughts when she felt something rubbing her head, it sent shivers down her spine as she looked up with fear that could be seen in her eyes.

"How about this? I'll let you rest if you say my name, it's been three years and you haven't called my name once. The one that saved you... The one that comes to visit you every day, so can I least hear you call my name... Just once?" Angel pursed her lips as she stares at the tanned male for a moment before she let out a defeated sigh.

"Samuel... There, now may I rest?" Samuel's dark eyes brighten as he grins before he patted her head once more. "Of course, I'll come back later to check up on you." He quickly turned around and like the woman, he had a bounce in his steps as he took his leave.

She let out a sigh as the door closed and the fear disappeared the moment he left, she placed her pale hand on her chest as she calms her racing heart. "Why won't he leave me alone..." She whispered as her hand gripped tightly on her white sundress but she stop gripping her dress as her both of her arms became limp and her legs took her back to the throne that the skull was on before she kneeled in front of it and began to trace the skull once more.
