EPISODE 19: His Star (Mystery POV)

  She was always getting in trouble.

  Sometimes, she got away on her own.

  Sometimes, he and his had to come for the bad others.

  He and his were getting stronger.

  Their numbers were larger now.

  ‘Strength in numbers’ whispered a fuzzy instinct.

  One day, she healed two of his others,

  One after another,

  Until she fell to the ground.

  The others looked at him…

  Fear.

  Respect.

  Their lights just flickered in the dark when he closed his eyes.

  They watched as he stood by her.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Protecting the female.

  She woke and looked at him.

  Fear first…

  Then, something else.

  Her hand reached for his.

  He pulled away.

  His voice came out rough and growling. “No heal now.”

  She nodded. “You are right. I am a bit tired after healing two.” She looked up into his glowing amber eyes, “I promise to heal you one day.” She rose to her feet, wavering for a moment, and his once others stood on either side of her, helping her stand. “Thank you for always looking out for me.”

  Then she smiled.

  It sparkled.

  Like stars.

  No more fear.

  Just…

  Determination.

  He gave her a respectful bow before turning without another glance and returning to his that were left.

  She was his star, he decided.

  She cared for them.

  Wanted to help,

  Wanted to protect.

  So he would protect her, too.
