Chapter 3 - A FLASHBACK FROM PAST: The Lost Saviour

"Leo, what happened? Open the door let momma come in".

(She started knocking the gate aggressively. Suddenly, the door opened Leo was standing in front of the door. When Bella saw him, she hugged him tightly and kissed his cheeks).

"What happened Leo? What was that noise, huh? Are you hurt somewhere?" my wife said while weeping out of terror.

"Honey, take a deep breath and let him take one. Stop bombarding questions on him. He might get frightened".

(He took Leo in his grasp and took him to his bed. On the way to bed, he saw the shattered pieces of vase near that table of earlier. He put him on the bed and patted his head).

" Now tell me what happened? How did that vase that you cherished broke down into pieces, hmm?" I asked. "Daddy mommy, why are you both so worried. Have something happened?". "Nothing, we just thought that an alien entered your room and broke your teeth off". "hahahahahahahahahaah.... mommy and daddy are so silly" his laughter eased my wife`s she came and sat beside me.

"Then, tell me what happened?" my wife asked. " I saw a very beautiful chameleon. It`s shells were very shiny purple-blue-yellow mixed in colour. It came through that window sat beside me for a while. I thought he was a friendly one and rubbed his head everything was going on well. But on his way back he dashed his head on that vase and spat on the shattered parts. And when I went towards it. He suddenly, started making noises that made me scared. That`s why I shouted not because of any alien".

"Oh, that`s all thank god. Come here, let`s sleep together tonight" my wife said and took him in her hands. They went to bed peacefully but all the commotion which happened today made me unable to sleep. "How can all this happen at the same time in the morning that letter and now, this chameleon. There is something happening which I am unaware about. And Bella is also hiding something. I need to find it out before it`s too late. But for now, I need to focus on that chameleon" I said all these to myself. 

My son and wife were already drowned deep into the sleep sea and sight made me dizzy too. So, I decided to walk on the path of my wife and son. I laid beside them and got lost in the world of dreams.

 IN AIDEN`S DREAM: -

(In his dream he was sitting below an apple tree eating Plums. He was wearing a white shirt below a below black jacket which had a Phoenix designed brooch on its right side. At that time, he was at the end of his teenage sitting near the tree close to a cliff.)

"It feels so pleasant here. God`s what is taking him so long " I said while enjoying the view and weather. I heard a rustling sound. I turned around he saw the bushes moving. I went there to see unknown of the danger awaiting him.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". Frightened from that I fell on the ground. "Oh! it`s you two. What does the two of you want". " You brat aren`t you the one who told grandpa that I was sneaking away in the name of practice, hnn? " One of them said. "Holy cow! how did he get to know about that? Oh! my bad I suddenly recalled maybe it is my doing. And this is what I will do to anyone who defies his orders" I replied with arrogance folding my arms up.

(Another one took out a powder and whispered some spell. Then, flushed it over on Aiden.)

"Hey! what have you both done I can`t think straight". "What do you think we know nothing? Why don`t you get that old man is not our grandpa he just wants us to become his weapon to help him attain his goals" the first one said. "Just quit with your nonsense and do what you are here for" I replied while combating with unconsciousness. " I told you he would never understand us or support us. Let`s just clear this obstacle of our way." that one spoke again. Both of them took him on their shoulder and were about to throw him off the cliff.

But suddenly, a chameleon appeared on shoulder of one person and sticked his tongue on one of his eyes. "ahhhhhh..." they shouted and threw me on the ground. We suddenly heard "hahahahahah... Does that hurt, you prick? Would like some more?hahaha...". Just by hearing this voice both of them started shivering and ran away within a sec.

My saviour started coming towards me and splashed something on me. I regained my consciousness." So, you are finally here. Thanks to you I am saved".

"Yes, you are right I always save you. But in return what did you do, huh?" his voice started becoming shrilly. He started getting furious and spoke" What did you do? What did you do? You took her away from me You took her away from me You took her away from me....". He started becoming blurry " Now, I will no longer save you". He smiled at me and vanished.

 The dream ended: -

"Kevin!" I shouted with all my energy but then I realised it was just a dream. Yet everything remained to be same. I was neither able to stop him in reality nor in dream and in both real life and dream he always used to save me. But I think may be didn`t give him enough value that`s why he chose to leave me behind like his past. God knows where and how he is right now.

 In middle of all this I realised that the morning seemed too silence to be true. No one even came when I shouted there was definitely something fishy. I decided to come off my cozy bed and move towards the below which absolute silence was shattered as a devil has stolen the tongues of my wife and son. As ever since my son`s vacation have the house seems like a battlefield where my is the Angle facing my Devil king son. And this goes on from morning till afternoon.

 Each sound of step got melted with the sound of clock. As I reached the door, I put my hand on nob twisted it and pulled the door open. The Door opened with a creak sound. And the moment I stepped out from my room. 

BOOOM! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY/HONNEY". As I thought there was something fishy. So, this why Leo went to Noella`s home yesterday. For preparing all flowers, ribbons and all. It really missed my mind that today was my birthday. Or else I would have prepared gifts for both of them.

Yah! I know it seems a bit weird but that`s how it is. In past I never took the pain to celebrate my birthday but after meeting both of them I started to enjoy it. Without them this day would have had nothing special about it. That`s why on my birthday I either give them gift or grant their one-one wish.

" Our gift" and both of them extended their hand in front of me. "Don`t tell you forgot about it" my wife and son said. " And if you forgot then we are going to the fair that is my wish" my son put an offer in front of me which was something I cannot deny. So, I agreed to it.

We had our tasty breakfast and went to get ready for our outing. As usual I was ready in no time, but my son and wife were still busy in adoring themselves. Half an hour later,

Both of them came out, when I saw my wife, I was not able to see anything else. I didn`t have enough time to notice that my son was about to leap on me.

She was wearing a light pink sleeve less frock above which she was wearing the diamond pendant and earrings that I gifted her on our anniversary. She kept her hair open which were fixed behind using two thin braids which were made through the hair above and below ears. With which she was wearing heels.

She came near me and all the three of us boarded towards our car which parked few steps ahead. As we got near the car, I noticed that somebody was already waiting for me there.
