Reincarnated: The First of my Kind

Chapter 11: The Hunt Begins

Chapter 11 | The Hunt Begins |

"GAHH!! WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Papa took a step back, attempting to shield his face from the boy who now stood in the doorway, Mama took a fighting stance and slowly backed towards the stair case.

"T-Tomoe, get upstairs, w-we'll deal with this creature."

Papa said, struggling to keep his composure, the shock must've been getting to him.

No, no, no, no... NO! This can't be happening, I thought I lost him in the forest before getting here! He was so far behind me... So how did he manage to follow me this far?! I don't know Tomoe so stop asking me! (Tomoe suffering from internal Strife)

"H-Hey... why're you guys living here? It's dangerous to be here, isn't it? That's why it's supposed to be forbidden anyways..."

Mama and Papa now both stood at the base of the stairs, both hands raised and ready for a fight.

"S-Stay back, w-we're not afraid to hurt you."

"Huh? What do you mean, why would you hurt me? I'm just a kid..."

The kid hasn't seemed to notice that Mama and Papa aren't actually the same race as he is, and that's the way it's gotta be kept.

"Mama, Papa, Outta the way!"

"H-Huh!?"

I jumped from the top of the stairs and used wind magic to slow my decent, I landed in front of the boy, tossed him over my shoulder and flew back up the stairs and back into my room, slamming the door behind me.

"W-Who are you?" The boy was staring intently as I was panicking, locking the door behind me and frantically trying to close the window.

"Gah! This wasn't supposed to happen, I was supposed to just go out and follow the maids to see what they were doing!" I paced back and forth from my door to the window while the boy sat on my bed and studied my room.

"And you!" I snapped my head back towards the boy.

"Why did you have to follow me?! You could've just stayed where ever you were and not followed me! We wouldn't have had this problem if you didn't follow me you know?"

The boy was taken aback by my sudden aggressiveness towards him.

"I-I didn't know... I just wanted to see a magical beast, and since you have that pretty, blue hair, I thought you were one and got excited..."

"Hahh?! I do not look like a magical beast thank you very much!"

"B-But you do, when you stuck your head out of the dense forest you looked so much like one! That's why I followed you here! Plus you ran insanely fast and could jump really high..."

So me just being able to run fast and jump high being paired with my bluish hair, makes me a magical beast. This kid's gonna get it.

I walked right up to the bed, jumped on top of it and held the boy in the air by his collar, he wasn't much taller than me and weighed little to nothing, making picking him up so much more easy.

"You will leave and never speak of this place to anyone else, if you come back I will kill you."

I dropped the boy off the side of bed and hopped off as well, I made my way to the window and stood on the chair to open it once more.

"W-What're you doing? L-Let go of me!!"

I picked him up again and held him out of the window.

"If you don't listen to what I just said then I will literally kill you the next time you show your face, you got that?"
