Chapter 8: The human world is cruel

Amelia felt so weak and dizzy, it was late in the night and yet she couldn't locate any ocean or sea. She had no place to stay for the night and she was already far from the forest, she couldn't risk going all the way back just for shelter. She is so thirsty that she wouldn't care what sort of water it may be as far as it will quench her thirst but she was all alone in the place of nowhere.

" why do I have to get deserted into an already deserted planet", she said weakly. She doesn't have the energy to cry. She then remembered she made the choice herself that she'll rather die than be recognized as a monster. She sighed gloomily and the tears find their way out effortlessly.

" common Amelia, you are still alive, there must be a reason why you are still alive so don't give up, not yet", she encouraged herself and kept on dragging her sole body to nowhere in particular but with the hope of locating an ocean or probably a stream.

The sun was so scorching even though the day has just broken. It was so harsh on Amelia's skin and it makes her vision blurry. She was barely walking when her sight caught something, the waves confirmed her sight. She laughed and cried and crawl faster towards it.

" finally it's an ocean", she cried out and squat to drink to her satisfaction. She exhales in relief and quickly dives in to watch her stinky hair and dirty cloth. Her warrior dress was changed to a plain white gown when she was about to get banished. She wore it back as wet as it was with the thought that the sun will dry it on her body as she couldn't bare to stay naked. After relaxing for some minutes, different thoughts began to settle in her head,

' what a lonely planet, no animals, no butterflies, no angels, no flowers, no birds, nothing, I guess that's why it picked me. We are both lonely. Perhaps I should build my castle here, rear animals, hey! Amelia snap out of it, you can't even carve, and again there any animals to begin the rearing? ', she reminded herself in her mind, ' but yet I can't continue this way, how about I go round this ocean, I might find something, but can I trek it? my wings are gone ', she cried. She had no choice but to embrace herself and continue her journey.

Two days and two nights later, she finally got to the point where the trees ain't far from the ocean bank, seeing she can easily walk to the ocean to drink water when she get thirsty or hungry and then back to the tree shed for shelter makes her heaved in relief. She feels so lonely, she missed being on the tree, missed her brother, and missed her home.

" don't you ever feel lonely", the prince interrupted her as she sings,

" Why should I feel lonely?",

" Because you always have me around huh?",

She scoffed," Of course not",

" Are you sure you won't miss me if am suddenly not around anymore?",

" why would I",

" you sure", he hit her lightly,

" I'm not going to miss you nor am I going to feel lonely there are a lot of pets to play with all day, the butterflies, I can simply fly all around and have the perfect view, and the palace maids can also entertain me",

he hissed," You are so cruel, you should at least pretend you'll miss me", he said pouting.

Amelia remembered and couldn't wipe away her tears,

" I miss you, I miss you so much, I feel so lonely", she cried as she sit under a tree, " I should have told you that",

A few hours later, Amelia couldn't grab a nap, the sun wasn't helping, and...

"what? what was that?", she was sure she heard some laughter and shouts.

" I am hearing right huh?", she asked herself and quickly stood up then ran to hide behind the big tree. She was so shocked to see...

" humans?",

" yeah humans, they are also creatures like us, very intelligent and have every feature as us but they don't have wings nor are they as pure as we are",

" Are you saying they are demons?",

" of course not but some may be, they are complicated beings, you only know those that are good by their heart and sincere expression or action",

" How did you know all these brothers?",

"when his majesty send me to the middle world to meet a grim reaper, I happen to see some and see some records",

"wow, I will be glad also to see one myself",

"then cultivate harder and become a great princess then you might have the opportunity to go on an errand to the reapers world",

"can't I just go to the human world",

"their planet is mostly out of sight according to history, it's always hard to locate and you can't just fly out of the universe into space, the angels that did that are all dead".

Amelia recollected one of her discussions with her brother. She giggled at the sight of the humans, they look exactly like them except that they had no wings and are not as beautiful as they are, but she also noticed they did have lots of invents and technologies just as her brother have said, seeing the yacht, some are so engrossed in pressing what she doesn't know (phones).

"can't believe I'm seeing them, the humans", she jumped out in excitement and watched as some people ran excitedly into the water and splashed water on theirselfs.

"hey you over there", she heard a voice speak in her direction. She turned towards them and see three boys, they were truly looking at her.

"woah she's pretty",

" sure my eyes have a good catch, she's beautiful", the other guy winked to his friends," and she looks frail and innocent", he said and laughed with his friends,

" hey come here", he called her,

Amelia was confused, she doesn't know why he was calling her but she walked towards them, the more she approach them, the more she began to see little houses(tents) and bigger houses(snack bars).

" wow I never knew there are pretty things here", she said looking awed till she finally got to where they are,

" how are you?", one of them asked and she nodded in response,

" you should reply when you are asked a question", the second guy said rudely,

" you shouldn't talk to her like that, be nicer ", the last guy said and moved closer to her. She suddenly doesn't like the aura she gets from them causing her to take a step backward. The guy began to caress her cheeks, she hit his hand away getting angry at their rudeness.

The guy pushed her roughly causing her to fall on her butt.

" Hey, who do you think you are?",

She stood up and ran away not liking their presence at all but they ran after her and dragged her back with her long hair,

"ah", she cried in pain. No one has ever dragged her by the hair, no one dares so it hurts so much. She feels so weak and empty all over, the journey down to the earth takes a lot of things from her, her strength, her powers, and her wings.

They dragged and pushed her to the floor then laughed at how weak she is. One of the guys squatted to her level and held her shoulder, then began to caress her to her neck and breast level. She felt so insulted that she slapped him.

" hey", he hit her and began to kick her hard with his friends. She cried and groaned. She couldn't fight back as every bone in her body feels weak, she couldn't fly and for the first time, she felt worthless. She hated how she feels at that moment, she realizes why she was abandoned, why she had no one, and why no one stood for her. That was because she was worthless, a failure, she couldn't even get her father's approval to investigate her brother's death, and she has no achievements. She felt so bitter that she pushed them away angrily and ran away. They ran after her but when they began to get some audience they had to stop and let her get away. She ran into the street and kept running till she got to the main road before realizing what she was doing. She saw many things that she couldn't comprehend. They all look amazing but yet so strange. The cars, the environment, the people, the families, and everything look so amazing and strange. She wanted to walk in but the loud horn of the car frightened her making her jump back.

" If you are ready to die, go die somewhere else", the driver yelled angrily at her,

" you should watch out, you need to be careful", an old woman said to her, smiling sweetly at her. Just then she saw a kid running into the road and got hit by a van. She was startled and scared as she watched the boy fall to the ground, dying with his blood splashed on the floor, the people began to gather around him causing a commotion. She was so shocked that she started running back, so frightened and confused. She couldn't withstand the sight of the boy in his blood but still couldn't go back to the cruel guys.

" I hate this world, I really hate this world", she cried. She decided to sneak back into the beach forest and stayed out of human sight, for her safety and survival.
