The Long Journey [Editing in Progress]

Chapter 12: Killian

Killian POV

When my eyes opened, I found out I was in the room where Arlo had taken me yesterday. I smelled something extremely delicious, it made my mouth water. I opened the door and followed the smell. Arlo was cooking while Alek and Alex were sitting around a table waiting for the food to arrive.

"Hey Killian, why don't you go take a seat over there with Alek and Alex" he said

"Okay" was all I said

I sat down next to Alex and she blushed. I really don't understand why they blush so much when I'm around. Alek was also blushing, Am I embarrassing them or something? Arlo finished making food and laid it out in front of all of us so we can start to eat.

I grabbed the warm brown circular food and stuffed it in my face. They were startled and saw me eat it up.

"Hey slow down bud there's still plenty left" Arlo said before I grabbed yellow food with my hand and put it in my mouth.

This is so fucking good Dimitris. I told him

I can tell, slow down your scaring them. He said

I looked up and they were all holding back laughs, I could tell.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked

"No bud it's just I haven't ever seen someone eat like the way you do" was what he said

"How do people regularly eat food"

"Utensil... Forks....Spoons....Knifes" he said while demonstrating what they were and used them to properly show me how they are used.

"Oooh sorry" I said looking down

"No son it's okay, continue eating the way you were" he said before I continued eating.

"So when are you taking me back? Did you figure out the man who took me here? Did he tell you which direction he took me from?" I said in a hurry.

"Wow slow down, first where going to the precinct let them know your okay and then I'll take you back home. The guy who took you, I called him and he said it's just East from here. Don't worry, we'll get you home soon."

"Let me ask you something, okay?" He added

"Alright" I said

"You don't want to live here?" Arlo asked

"I've never thought about it, I love living in the woods, there's freedom there that I can't get here. Besides, Lucca is all I have. I don't want to be separated from him" I answered

"Well, he seems like he raised you well, but don't be afraid to change your mind your always welcome to stay with us" he said

I liked that idea, to live with my own kind run with them like a miniature pack. I can get a sense of belonging here with them but at the same time Lucca gives me that and more.

"Alright once you put on your shoes and are ready to go, we'll take you home" Arlo mentioned.

I went back to the room to put on my shoes and once I did that I walked outside were the car was. A few minutes later Arlo, Alek, and Alex came out the house.
