Runaway Alpha

Now I have a frown in my head as I can’t figure out what this old man is saying.

He just called me as little master but then what does he mean by that? He even laughed at my question about whether he sells milk or not. Isn’t it disrespectful? He act as if he really know what characteristic I have. Can someone like me not drink milk? Even if I am a boy, milk is healthy for growth… I don’t even know him… but then…

“Who are you”

I asked while slightly narrowing my eyes as I tried to figure out who he might have been. I…

There’s no such person who called me young master even before. Is there? Why can’t I seem to remember?

I am well aware about the fact that my father holds a great privilege in this village but you can’t casually call someone as young master because there have to be qualifications for that . I am not sure whether I am qualified for that either. Still, in this small village, no one uses that term as master. I wonder if there is really a person who is called as such.

“It seems like you have forgotten about me little young master”

“What do you mean? I am not that forgetful I’m not as-”

I didn’t continue my words since I think that would be disrespectful if I said that I am not forgetful because I am not as old as him.

I can hear how he slightly chuckle as if he really knew what I was about to tell. Man this is so creepy. I wonder if who he really is.

I take my gaze as I think that he will just make fun of me and it’s just some old guy who want to tease the youngsters but then I halt as I hear him say a very deep words

“Earth wind water and fire, Even if you don’t want to be you can never be what you desire…”

And so he also giggled as if he find those words entertaining.

As I look back at him, I was so astound when he was nowhere to be found.

I just opened my mouth in surprise about what happened since he was just right there a moment ago… where did he go?

A look at Lhana and see that she is still sitting in the same bench since a while ago. Did she also see how this Old man suddenly vanish? But just as I turn my back, even the stall selling beverages are nowhere to be found.

I gulp as I can’t explain what that experience is.

I went back to Lhana and then she asked me why I am walking back without any drinks on my hand.

I can’t possibly say that the man as well as the stall of the beverages suddenly vanish. Who would believe be if I say that such thing happened to me? I would just look like a fool.

“Hey Emric are you alright? Why do you suddenly look so pale?”

Did I turn pale? How funny of me.

“Nothing”

I replied shortly not wanting to cause any more fuss about that because I know that if I tell her she will tell it to my parents and that’s not the thing that I wanted to happen.

Being a son who ditch classes is enough. I don’t want to be called as a genius who turned insane because of too much knowledge.

” I thought you’re going to buy beverages but why did you came back empty handed?”

“There is no drink that I want in the beverages that they are selling”

“If that’s so, why not just drink this juice I prepared this morning? I promise you that I didn’t put a poison on it”

She slightly laugh as she finished the sandwich on her hand. I then sat beside her and picked up the drink that she offered to me. That is a juice that is inside a simple and not looking weird. Well I say that I sense the juice is cold the moment I opened it even though there isn’t an ice on it.

“Oh by the way, the juice was frosted this morning maybe it is still cool up till now but the ice can’t be seen because already melted”

She explained even if I didn’t ask why it is cold even though plenty of time already passed by.

It is as if she knew what I am thinking that’s why she answered it even though I’m not asking .

“By the way I feel like something is weird over there”

“What do you mean?”

I said before taking a sip on the juice that Lhana prepared. It taste nice

I mumbled to myself as I tasted sweet and cold aroma of the juice that Lhana prepared…Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I wonder how she did that… maybe I should ask her so I can prepare some for myself. Saying that the tastes in my liking’s even though it’s not as good as what mmy grandmother would prepare.

Over there, I see many people crowding as if something happened in that area.

We did hear running steps coming from our back and there we saw Aillard rushing toward direction.

“Lhana let’s go something urgent happened”

“Something bad happened again? what is it this time brother?”

“I will just tell it to you later, let’s go home first”

“But I haven’t finished my sandwich yet”

He look at the sandwiches that is inside the lunch box that Lhana put between us.

When do I have eaten some before going to get some beverages to drink and even if Lana already eat 1 I can still see that there are lots left. Maybe she prepared a lot more than what wei thought

Her brother grabbed a sandwiches inside lunch box and eat it in one munch. He then pick up another two and is about to eat the other one on his hand when Lhana get back the lunchbox.

“Brother that’s not the issue. I wanted to eat that sandwich here and not in the house, so please don’t eat it all”

“Hurry up we have to go home now or else moment that would be bad”

He said after gulping all the sandwiches left on his mouth

I wonder how he did that because the sandwiches are very big and I even doubt it if he can do it again without hurting his stomach. Does his brother always eat this much?

The sounds of the crowd running began ti cover the whole area. Even I feel surprised.

With that, Mira went in our direction and she have a somehow worried face. Even some of the windows of every house around us started to close as if something might enter and take their lives.

As I look around I saw how Aillard grab the hand of his littles sister as mira clean up all the foods we are eating. They now went to the direction of where the house of Aillard and Lhana is placed.

But of curiosity I follow them even though I am not sure what is really happening.

I tried to ask but none of them answered my question.

I halt while walking as I sense something that in never sense in my whole life.

“Shit, what was that?”
