It All Started From A Tree -ON HOLD-

Why Should I?

"Mom? Mom you okay?" I asked. The color on mom's face finally returned, and she looked at me.

"That bastard! How dare he!" She shouted. I think i forgot to mention a few important things.

I'm Daniel Willams, a 24 years old American billionare. I have a family of 4. Me, my parents, and Xavier, my bro.

Firstly, my father is the owner of the most successful company in America, Williams & Co. My mother is the most famous lawyer in the kingdom. Now, you might think that my parents are in love and met in a romantic way. right? Well, it's the exact opposite.

My parents were forced to marry each other. They absolutely hate each other. The reason they haven't divorced is because they both benefit from it. My father can be relied on more projects this way, and my mother will have more ways to visit her also very rich parents who live in Dubai.

My father is a very greedy and evil man, i don't know how i even stand being in the same house as him. While my mom is so sweet and reliable, she's still fragile. Most of the time dad is is either at work, or having fun with one of his bimbos. He's not that old, he's actually 37. My mom is 35, but she's been famous for a while now.

Now, my dad is retiring for unknown reasons. He's giving me the company, because apparently he "needs someone he can trust". He said if i take over the company, he would divorce my mother. When i heard that, i was so happy. We would finally be free from that evil man.

So, now, he's forcing me into getting married, so the company won't fall. This leads to the fight we just had. And how i'm going to meet Thomas.....

"Hello, I'm Thomas. Mr.Williams called for me. Is he here?"

Now.

"So the rules are simple. just defeat each other using unharmful magic spells, okay?" Said the voice i hated and still do hate AKA my dad. We both nodded. By 'both' i meant me and Thomas.

"Okay. Ready, Set....Go!" His voice boomed along the walls of the empty room we're fighting in.

Thoms made the first move, doing a combination of movements with his fingers. I recognised the movements as the flying spell. I started moving my fingers too to start the protecting spell. That's the least i could do. He pointed his fingers at me, i did the same. Of course my spell did not match his level, because i did float a little. Like 5 or 6 inches of the ground. He seemed to be angered that his spell didn't work fully, which is probably really humiliating. He started moving his whole arm in different ways i coldn't identify. My father was staring hard at him, probably trying to figure out what spell it was.

And before i knew it. i was asleep.

Lisa's POV

I almost reached the tree when something fell out of nowhere. I hesitated for a moment before going to check out what it was.

I saw something, but i couldn't tell what it was. It has eyes like me, had hair like, arms, and legs. Even though it had human features, it still was something i could not recognise. I was getting cold and soaked by the rain so i decided to take the thing back home.

I started carrying the umm...creature....but it was heavy so i decided i'd drag it. Not drag it the way you think. I out his arm over my neck and stated walking. The rain had calmed down a bit, but it was still falling.

I finally reached home.

"Guys! Open up!" I shouted. The rain stopped falling now, so i dried up a bit.

"Open yourself!" I heard Grizzly shout at me.

"I am carrying a heavy unidentified creature here! I can't!" I shouted again. I could here several footsteps coming towards the door. The door finally opened revealing Grizzly & Ella. They were staring immensly at the creature, as if they completly forgot i was there...

Oh wait....

They did forget...

"Guys! Some help?" I said, which helped in getting them out of their trance.

"So, can you please tell me what -or actually who- this is?" I asked. They both looked at me happily and started talking at the same time.

"Woah! Please, one at a time!" I said, not too loud but loud enough so they can hear. They looked at each other and Ella talked. Only her this time.

"So, this is actually what a boy looks like. But, this is a grown boy. A man." Said Ella, her eyes full of joy. I understood what she said, because they've told me a lot about boys.

"Oh! That explains his human-like features!" I exclaimed. Ella chuckled a bit and nodded. I took some time to study his looks. He has brown hair -which was still dripping wet- and some adorable freckles.

"When do you think he'll wake up?" I asked Ella. She looked at him a little bit.

"Probably tomorrow. Also, Lisa, why don't you let him sleep with you?" Asked me, her eyes clouded with an emotion i couldn't tell.

"No! We have plenty of empty rooms!" I said. She shook her head and looked at me again.

"All of them are taken. Also, your room is the widest in the whole house. You have plenty of space too. Also, the tube is okay, i didn't turn on the water." She said. I gave off a very dramatic sigh, and nodded my head weakly.

"Will Grizzly please take him and put him on my bed, i'll probably sleep on the convertible sofa there." I said. She nodded her head. She then called Grizzly and took him upstairs.

The Present

And that's how i'm here, sleeping beside my bed with a creature on it.

I started feeling tired and dived in dream land.

I hope i have some good dreams...
