KAIRA POV

I was sitting in my balcony leaning against the wall. I didn't recall from how many hours I was like that lifeless and numb. I was feeling too feeble to leave that place.

My eyes got dry and now if I wanted to cry more over him I ..couldn't! I didn't know myself... What I was thinking?

I was keenly staring in the sky, looking for serene and comforting moon. Thought, might be its bright and pure light washed away my curse and gave me peace and a fortunate life.

"Because I'm a hapless victim of troubles"

Though, today it was seemed like moon also got afraid with my intensive cursed fate and hid somewhere because he was incapable of doing anything.

It was a full eclipse night and its darkness dragging me towards itself.

In the core dark night stars were twinkling far-far away like mocking me that every thing I wanted to have in my life, were all beyond my reach now. I couldn't ever reach them .

A knock at my door and brought me back to the real world which was not going to be easy on me. Literally I was not in the mood to talk anyone, I needed my alone time.

But with second knock I heard it was June when he called my name this time.

"Kaira"

"Kaira"

"Y..yes". I replied even I didn't want to.

But I couldn't throw shade at my family members because of my own personal reasons.

"Can I talk to you" He asked politely.

I really didn't have any idea what he was about to talk but it was rare. He was often buzzy either in his office work or in father's NGO. And whenever he was in the home, always prefer sleeping. He was really a heavy sleeper. So I was surprised rather than shocked as it was around 11:30 pm and he was still awake.

"Yeah come in". I answered but my voice sounded overtired.

I heard door opened and after few minutes foot steps approached in my direction.

"What happened Kaira? Why are you still awake". June asked.

I didn't look at him but ruefully smiled.

"It should be my question. What are you doing lately June?"

"Well kaira I'm neither very open like Edward nor very friendly like Lane".

"But I think it's good I'm not like Lane because he's short tempered guy too. And I don't think our family can deal with another angry Lane". He lightly grinned.

He stopped and again continued. "Well I'm not very responsible either like Jhonathan but I do understand my family members and I can easily find out whether they are happy or not ...just to see their faces".

"I do understand what you are feeling now Kaira. You are my sweet little sister. I know you are sad... you didn't have dinner properly".

"I know you miss them. I know you are missing Cloud and Archer".

When June mentioned Cloud's name.. abruptly tears built up into my eyes.

He sat beside me and threw an arm around my shoulder and give a side hug. "I know they became your quite close friends Kaira but you must have to understand they didn't belong to our world, sooner or later they had to go"

I thought my tears got dry.. but no!! Tears were again coursing down her cheeks unchecked. I tried to hide my feelings...so..I... I hid my face into my hands.

June nervously said. "Kaira please don't cry. Please! I know it's hurting but believe me it was happened for good. You shouldn't be in touch with a person who is from different world. It's not safe Kaira. I know I'm being selfish and using tuff words but I know what I'm saying".

I was stayed quite didn't utter a word.

"Kaira looked at me". He said softly

I turned.

"See your eyes turned red. I knew you must be crying alone in your room. You have been doing same thing since childhood. But...but It made me sad and depressed because I couldn't do anything for you". He caressly wiped her tears.

"Don't cry kaira and believe me soon every thing will be normal just like before so don't cry". He requested me.

I silently nodded.

He held me up. "You should go to the bed Kaira, it's late. You have college tomorrow and I think your friends would be there for you. I'm definitely sure you'll feel better with them".

We stepped back into my room and I exhaustly lay down on my bed. June pulled the duvet upto my neck.

"Good night Kaira and promise me you'll not cry. Okey!" june said.

"Okey.." I replied him in my dull voice.

He didn't push me further and switched off the lights and walked outside my room.

I didn't know why but I was feeling little calm after talking with June. He was right I also knew it from the beginning that one day he had to go.

But!

"But It is so painful".

"I think I had a gut feeling that m..my destiny definitely had not planned anything good for me".

"And I said it before.. if my destiny had already chosen anything worst for me then no matter how much Cloud try to save me he wouldn't".

"I think I was right".

"See destiny had already played it's first card and see... now Cloud is not with me, he could stay with me until my birthday, if nothing happened.. but".

"I..I don't know where he Is? How is he? Perhaps he is going on a war. Ohh god! I.. I wish he'll be fine and safe".

"He's already dealing with so many problems, I.. I don't want to add more. I don't want to be a burden, I guess it was good he.. left!" I said to myself, convincing my own heart.

I was feeling so lost seemed like my life was fading with every passing seconds bit by bit.

My  eyes got heavy, slowly I drifted to sleep.

She got up early it was the day which she was waiting for so long. She walked inside the bathroom and splashed water on her face, looking into the mirror. Her eyes got puffy and light black circle shaded below her eyes.

She padded back into the room and grabbed a pair of blue jeans and a black top. She needed a hot bath to get rid of tiredness.

It was an important day and she didn't want to bring down the mood and spoiled her surprised party.

COULD POV

My brother interrupted me and said. "I have to say something father"

"Father I'm so sorry but please forgive him. Cloud is young and naive. That's why he took an irresponsible decision". He said apologetically.

I was shocked, didn't believe what was my brother saying. He was purely lying. I mean I know he hates me but never expected that. It seemed as if he was doing everything intentionally. He wanted to take me down in front of our father.

I was in my thinking but came back instantly when I heard my father.

"You should be better". My father glared Adam.

"I'm so sorry father I gave him my permission. And I accept that I'm the one who is responsible of Cloud's irresponsible act".

"But believe me father if I had any idea where he was heading, I would never grant his request. When he said he had to go on an urgent misson. I thought he was going on an secret mission regarding to our kingdom security". Adam cleverly placed his point.

My father furiously looked at me.
"Didn't you know that we are not supposed to go on Earth. Isn't it Cloud?" My father questioned me.

I looked over my brother and a for a second there was a cryptic smile trailed on his face.

I was hurt and felt a pain in my heart. So far I knew my brother hated me but now...now he betrayed me.

I gather myself and looked at my father.

"Father it was an urgent request by Windalen. He said I needed to protect a girl, her life is in danger. And she is not any common girl, she's an ancient gaurdian".

"Let me explain very clearly Cloud and tell why didn't you asked me?" My father said.

I sighed. "Father when I went to our neighboring kingdom Barborad on an official visit. I met Windalen on my way, he asked me a favor. Father he did so much for me selflessly so far. So when he asked me a favor I couldn't say no to him".

"And when I returned. Father you had already left for attending festival in Noldor. So after you, brother Adam had the authority to grant my request. So I asked him and brother Adam gave me his permission".

Why didn't you tell Adam that you were going on Earth? My father leaned back and waiting for an reasonable answer.

I gritted my teeth because I had explained every thing to my brother but now when he already denied bluntly, I had no words.

"Father I'm so sorry I forgot to mention"

My brother mocked. "I don't believe you Could. She lives on earth and you are saying she's an ancient gaurdian"

I clinched my fist. "Yes father believe me, she's an ancient Gaurdian. And it's strange but trust me she borned with pure ancient blood". I said and stood at my ground firmly because I didn't do anything wrong.

My father knitted his eyebrows. "What's her name?"

"Kaira"

"Her name is Kaira"

When I mentioned her name for a fraction of seconds a strange expression appeared across my father's face but before I could read them, he threw them away.

I didn't know why father react that way. But when Windalen told me her name I was amazed.

"That's really pleasing!! Her name is exactly given on our kingdom, she must be an important person". Adam took it as a joke.

So that's mean you put your kingdom on high risk just to save a girl. My father asked in his cold and raged voice.
