Chapter 18

A/N: Dedicated to Tyroosemily for all the love and support she's given this book. Go check out her book Escape, its really good xx

We were going through the bright, sunny forest and i was bubbling with excitement and joy. I was finally going to see my cousin after everything i've been through and i also managed to make a new friend on the way.

Everything around me was getting familiar by every moment, the evergreen trees, the bluebirds singing and the woodland animals that were running about.

"This forest was the garden of my childhood," i said with calm and peace.

"So i guess you used to visit your cousin a lot?" Athena said.

"Defintely, her mum and my mum were sisters and they were really close," i said in a very happy mood.

"Aww that's nice, i didn't get to see my cousins that much," Athena said.

"Aww, never mind your gonna have a lot of fun at my cousins place," i said.

We walked and walked and finally, it was there.

My beautiful cousin's house in the middle of the clearing. I saw some people inside so she must be home. I was so excited that i started running towards the door.

Unfortunately, the beast jumped out of nowhere right in front of the house. He looked very tired and was probably very fed up of me, I don't even know why he's going to all this trouble.

Not so fast, first i'm going to have you and your friend as main course, then i'm going to have the people in the house as dessert

I started to grow very frustrated. He just never seems to stop.

Athena sighed and then got on all fours.

"You will never get Bella as long as i'm here," she said as she went forward towards the beast.

You are such a big nuisance you know

"Whatever," she then ignited herself and ran towards the beast. He just ran and they collided right in the middle. I sat down on the grass.

Athena's flame went out and then they started biting and rolling around in the grass again. My cousin came out and looked very alarmed.

"What's going on?" she said.

"Laura!" I called out waving towards her. She turned in my direction and looked shocked but happy at the same time.

"Bella!" she started running towards me and we held each other in a tight hug.

"I'm so happy to see you!" I started to cry on her shoulder.

"Same but what are you doing here?" she asked with concern.

"Its a long story but its mainly because of that beast that my new friend is fighting with," I said pointing at Athena and the beast still attacking each other. Laura sat down next to me and watched.

"She's very pretty but why has she got wings?"

"She's from Venus," i said.

"Wow awesome," Laura said.

Athena and the beast continued until Athena had him pinned down.

"Its over," she smiled deviously. She was about to scratch him but then he said:

Athena? Is that you?

She stopped and was very shocked. She got off him and backed away.

"How do you know my name?" she asked narrowing her eyes.

Athena, its meee

The beast got up and started to approach her slowly. Athena stared deep into his eyes and then her eyes widened.

"Axelius??? Is that you???" she asked still looking very alarmed.

Yess hellooo

Athena took a deep breath and she looked like she was about to explode with anger.

"You got a lot of explaining to do," she said seriously.

She then zapped him and the beast turned into a little boy who looked very much like Athena but with more curly hair and a bit shorter. It was my turn to be shocked.

"Bella meet my little brother," she said with clenched teeth. She actually looked like she was about to explode.

"Um..hi?"

Axelius waved shyly, Athena then started shouting at him,

"So you think its funny to chase people around??? Even after mum told us not to attack humans except if we are being threatened or when there's nothing to eat?"

"There was nothing to eat," Axelius said defensively.

"Really? I think animals exist too," Athena said.

"Well humans taste nicer," Axelius said shrugging.

"They taste disgusting to be honest," Athena said. "No offense by the way," she said turning to us. We just shrugged, it was better knowing that she didn't like the taste of humans than thinking she will eat me.

"Instead of eating that girl, can you get me something to eat please?" Axelius said with innocent eyes. Athena rolled her eyes and grabbed his arm.

"Come on then," she said going into a part of the forest.

I was still very shocked at what just happened. i was being chased around by a little boy disguised as something else and also that he was Athena's brother.

"So they are aliens?" Laura said.

"Yep".

Athena came back with lots of dead animals in her arm.

"Do you have anywhere to cook this?" Athena asked.

"Sure, bring it inside," Laura said.

We all went inside her home.

"So is your little brother still going to eat me?" I said nervously while drinking my hot chocolate.

"No, he can get used to eating animals and fruits," Athena said taking a bite out of her meat. Axelius ate his meat with a little bit of shame.

"I'm sorry Bella," he said meekly.

I'm not sure if i was able to forgive him or not.

"Its okay," i simply said.

"So what's it like living in another planet?" Laura asked happily.

"Its quite alright, i miss it sometimes," Athena replied.

"Athena, didn't you tell me that your whole family died in an accident?" i said.

"Yeah but when we were living in our cabin, Mr troublemaker here got lost on a hunting trip and we were never able to find him," Athena said.

"Hey Athena, i'm pretty good at fighting yeah?" Axelius said with a smile.

"I don't want to talk about the fact that i was fighting my brother the whole time," Athena said.

"Yeah but i was pretty good?"

"Yeah you are, you have defintely grown stronger".

Axelius smiled and continued eating his food.

"By the way, who was the beast that you changed into?" Athena asked.

"Do you remember my pet Gruffy?" Axelius asked.

"Not really...".

"Well him," Axelius said.

"Ahh okay," Athena said.

Axelius finished his food and then came up to me.

"I'm very sorry," he hugged my legs and maybe in time, i could forgive him.
