The Alpha Queen

Chapter 2

Chreesela's POV

My mother came as usual but this time she didn't come alone she was accompanied by father. I hadn't seen my father for the past eight years since I had decided to live with Chris Argent. He was a hunter and my Father was against it. The Air benders and hunters were enemies... Since history could detect because hunters saw us as trouble to the society and the greedy ones were after us because of our powers, some tend to believe that of they kill us then the power will pass down to them but they are wrong, the powers die in us if not so, its passed down to our children to make them stronger and be able to protect themselves.

I got married to Chris because I believed that he was different, we loved each other but when his father, Gerard came to know about us, he was forced to stop seeing me or else i would be killed and he married another woman, again because his father told him so or should we say that he was forced into that marriage?. But before we could part ways, i found out that i was pregnant with Arsela, so we didn't break up and we didn't get married because he was married already to his father's choice.

So, he hid me until i conceived our little baby girl and then, slowly he began to drift away from us. Raising Arsela on my own wasn't easy but she was the best thing that have ever happened in my life, So, I worked extra hard so as to provide a comfortable life for her and in case I died, I wanted to leave behind a huge heritage worth billions of money that would be enough to use till forever maybe..

Chris paid as a visit whenever he felt like doing so, I knew it's not he was busy but because he was getting too attached to his new family,Yes,he loved them more than us,because they were like him... A hunter. He loved his new wife very much and I became just a memory in him... I was like a one woman show.. I was all alone and as much as Arsela needed him, I needed him as well.

But I was already used to it, his absence and forever excuse that he wanted to protect us from his family who basically didn't know about us having a child and him coming to see us once in a.... While?. Anyway my father wasn't pleased and I knew that he was here for us to talk about that... I mean him... Chris...

I took a deep breathe as mother and Arsela left for the backyard and Father motioned me to sit, we sat down and he was silent for a while before he roughly cleared his throat and started to talk.

I didn't want to look at him, though I could feel his eyes on me.

"Chreesela... I know you know why I am here today".

I swallowed hard," To talk about Chris Argent?".

He chuckled, "No, I'm tired of talking about that man, I'm here to talk about something else that is worth my time".

I believe I took a deep breathe of relief, I then found courage to look at him.

" You aren't here to scold me about him?". I asked so as to be sure that my ears did not play a trick on me..

He nodded, "I'm not here to talk about hunters... "

"Okay... Then..." He cut me off

"I'm here to talk about Arsela... And her future". He said.

"What about her Father?".

"You have no time to teach her about our ways which is totally fine with me because I understand you are working to be able to fend for her". He started explaining.

"And?". I asked for him to proceed.

"She does not know who exactly she is, nor has she seen our traditions ... She doesn't know where we live... Where people like her... Us... Live!".
