A Girl Adopted

Chapter 8- Amara

After my shift at the diner, I am walking by the river. My shift at the diner on Saturday starts at 8 in the

morning and ends at two in the afternoon. I came back home after that and took a nap. At five I started

walking by the river shore, thinking about papa's words. Papa is trying to teach me to heal for almost

four years now. But I haven't even been successful in being one with my spirit. Papa says once I know

how to do that I can heal anyone physically as well as emotionally. I can calm a person down and can

even mend bones if I really focus. The aura of every living being is different. Once I learn how to use

spiritual energy, I will be able to do all this. But, I can't at this moment. Let's just hope I can do this

someday.

Well, it's getting dark, I should get back home. I started walking back home but I heard some voices

that made me stop in my tracks. It sounds like an animal in pain or something like that. Some animal

must be injured. Should I go check? Off course I should. I started walking towards the noise slowly not

to scare the animal even more. But what I saw was not what I was expecting at all.

Alexander and some other guy were tearing a deer into pieces with their teeth and hands. The guy had

black hairs and pale skin. I can't see his eyes clearly from where I was standing. He has this scowl on

his face. He is hot, not as hot as Alexander though, but still qualifies the test. What the hell am I

thinking? Hot or not they are killing an innocent animal with an inhuman animosity. Their hands, cloths

and mouth were covered in the blood of the poor animal. They were so busy mauling that deer that

they didn't even notice that their murder has a witness. If that counts as a murder. It should right. It is a

living thing after all. Well, seeing a vampire hunt was definitely not on my bucket list. Do I even have a

bucket list? Who cares? So these are the vampires papa were talking about. Why the hell am I still

standing here talking to myself? I should get the hell out of here, before they realize they have an

audience. If they found me here, they will kill me before papa or Ryder even gets here for my rescue.

Still a message to them will at least have a 10% chance of saving my ass. So I sent a quick message

of help in the mind link. They are usually at the south of the woods looking over the shifters. They will

take time to reach here. Till then I have to protect myself.

I started walking slowly backwards. I am so lucky aren't I? No, I didn't escape from there, I tripped on a

big fat root with a loud unlady like shriek. Ironic right. Their heads snapped towards me. Oops! Busted.

What should I say ‘sorry for ruining your dinner’? But don't they use blood from the blood banks? Well

that's not the primary concern I should be having right now. The main point to be considered should be

what is going to happen to me. They were not actually drinking blood, just taking their anger on it. At

least that’s what it looked like. They looked at each other and exchanged some looks that I didn't This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

understand. There was barely any light, just the moon light shining a bit through the dense trees.

Human eyes can't see that clearly in these situations and mine seems to be the only human eyes

present in this place. Alexander said something to the other guy who looked fully in a dinosaur mode.

But he ignored it. He is staring at me like I am some piece of meat he wants to eat. Oh no! This is

turning dirty really fast. This is the moment. I should focus and try to be one with my spirit. Alexander is

holding him back. But he is trying to get free. Close your eyes Amara and focus. I tried to remember

papa's words," Find the inner you. Become one with the nature and become one with yourself. That is

the key to possessing the spirit energy."

I am seeing light in the darkness. I followed it. Theirs a girl. She looks like she is made of light. She is

holding her hand out. I extended my hand to touch hers. As soon as I touched her hand she

disappeared. I opened my eyes. All I can see were lights in the shape of trees and two human figures.

They looked cold though. One trying to restrain the other. Maybe this is what papa said about the aura

of the living beings. I am hearing a voice saying," Run quickly. I will hold him down." I want to run but I

am walking towards them. I was standing right in front of the unknown guy. He is struggling to get out of

Alexander's grip baring his teeth at me. I placed my hand on his cheek and said," Calm down. You

don't want to do this." There is a yellowish golden glow at my palm. His face started to relax and finally

he stopped struggling. I dropped my hand to my side and smiled at him. He returned my smile. I turned

my head to look at Alexander. He was standing there with his jaw almost hitting the floor. Not literally

though. Did I do something wrong?

The unknown guy started talking,

"Hi I am Oliver Knight. And this is my brother Alexander. I didn't mean to scare you........."

His voice started to fade away slowly. I am feeling numb. Why does it feel like I am going to faint? Oh

my god! The famous black dots. Not with the vampires. They will probably suck me dry before I even

wake up. But I just want to take a long nap and I can go back home to tell papa about my little

adventure. That's what I am going to do. I closed my eyes and drifted into the darkness. I hope papa

and Ryder finds me before these two kill me.
