Her Cold Beast And His Dark Beauty

Chapter 4: THIS IS AMERICA

Next Day

Pishka's POV

I awake to someone shaking me, then they take off my headphones that are still playing music from my mp3 and start calling me as if I'm in a faraway land. Like really though, I'm right in front of you and you screaming in my ear, I open my eyes to see that it's my daddy. He said that we have to go quickly to fetch our luggage and settle into our new house and environment.

So I rubbed my eyes, trying to get some of the sleep out but failed, nonetheless, I got up and out of the plane with daddy

Daddy: I'll leave you here if you don't get up Kapish

Was his speech to encourage me - notice the sarcasm? The only thing I could think of is how he woke me up as he hates it when I wake him like that and yet, here he is shaking me like I'm some kind of milkshake, geez

Anyway, by the time I was done sulking, we had fetched two trollies - we would have fetched three but daddy was lazy to push a trolley and also he didn't have much of a wardrobe compared to me and aunty. We were waiting for our luggage to come so we can get it and go to a hotel, wherever that is, so I can pop the p sound. We get our luggage and walk to the front to get some food to eat cause I was starving and daddy feeds me like 24/7, I don't mind really

I thought we were gonna stay at a hotel for the day, unfortunately, we arrived early so we and when I say we, I mean daddy and aunty (daddy's lover) chose to go straight to where we were gonna live, in our new home country called America. It is New York, now look I have no problem with the place but the fact that I feel jet legged and still hate planes, but now I have to take another one to go there

°DAMN, DAMMIT DADDY, DAANNG!°

We got a plane that would be arriving in the next two hours, so we had time to tour New York the Big Apple - that we didn't get to see while we were living there. Now, I am civilized, so I tried my best not to gasp or stare at the place. It was so beautiful I almost cried cause a wish on my bucket list was ticked off

Months Later

We had lived in New York for a year but had to move again. This time to California, before I knew it we were packing and moving again, we had to go to the airport to catch a plane. Daddy came and walked next to me wrapping his arm around my shoulder, pulling me in for a hug, I smiled at his goofy grin.

Daddy: Kapish, Kabash, so how do you like America so far?

Pishka: It's beautiful and I can't help but notice it's packed here

Daddy: Yah neh, but you'll get used to it though, baby

He said the last part like he was crying, he stops and smiles while pulling me into a tighter side hug then we entered the car, he turns to aunty and they started talking. I sat in the back seat alone, so I just pulled out my headphone and listened to music on the way. We arrived 30 minutes early, so we checked in and headed to the waiting area inside. Once inside I was talking to aunty since daddy had to go make a business call and all that.

Aunty(Natasha): So, what do you think, we should put first in tomorrow's schedule, since I and your daddy are off work?

Pishka: I don't mind just chilling at home and watching TV, doing the usual.

Aunty(Natasha): Are you sure you don't want us to go out?

Pishka: Yes, I'm sure, why do you ask aunty?

Aunty(Natasha): No, I just thought you wanted to go out since y-

Daddy comes up to us in a hurry, with a wide grin plastered on his face, cutting aunty off at the most interesting part of the conversation. Sure it wasn't interesting then but when I thought about it, it left me hanging, bit back to the topic ~ Daddy

Daddy: Hey, so my boss is having a party for his son in five months, he said that we were invited to come and I agreed since I wanted to get to meet him and heighten my chances of getting a promotion. It will be on the 2nd of January a year from now

Daddy walks to sit next to me, after he is seated next to me, he looks over to aunty to see what she says

Aunty(Natasha): So I guess we are going to the party? Kapish?

It sounded like a nightmare of a question coming from her mouth - which meant we were gonna have to go shopping. She loves shopping and I don't really do, besides that the party is on my birthday!

°Dammit!!!°

They both look at me to see what I have to say about this stupid party that I hope gets cancelled

Pishka: Okay, I guess I'll be counting on aunty to help me pick out an outfit

It was more like an unsure answer though. Cause I hate shopping, with the standing in the long lines and walking around carrying heavy bags and buying none stop, but I do love the clothes aunty picks for me to wear, she's got good taste. Anyway let's get back to the fact that this ash hole is going to a party on my freaking birthday, I swear I am so gonna kill him in his sleep when we get to our new home.

Daddy: Of course she will, I will come with you ladies since I will also need to buy a suit or hire one. I promise to make it up to you baby. We can go grocery shopping tomorrow then?

He looks down at me and I just look up from my phone, to look at his pleading eyes

°Old fart of a jerk, I hate you right now, you know that?°

I think in my head but nod at him not in the mood to speak to him right now. He smiles weakly trying to make me understand like he knew what I was thinking in my head right now. I felt like biting him in his stupid old farty face.

Aunty(Natasha): Great then, it's a family outing and we get to spend some family time together.

She said trying to lighten the mood but let me tell you if my looks could kill, my daddy would be dead by now, I can promise you and just then as if on cue the gates heading for the plane were opened. People were starting to enter, luckily we were sitting next to each other, in the same row with me by the window and daddy at the seat next to the passage

Leaving aunty to sit in the middle - and she didn't complain since it would be best if I don't sit next to daddy right now. The plane lifted into the air with very few people on the plane and then all of a sudden the plane began to shake violently. My heart jumped to my brain and started beating like there was no tomorrow - I have a fear of heights after all. Don't judge me

°Why is the plane shaking like this, I've been on other planes and they never shook like this°

Just then the intercom went off as if on cue or reading my mind. Then pilot started speaking:

"This is captain Roman speaking the pilot of the plane. I would like to alert all passengers to remain in their seats with their seatbelts fastened as we have a storm brewing and please don't be alarmed because there is no need for panic. The plane will be stabled in a few minutes after we have passed through the storm. Thank you for your time"

There was a loud and long beep after that and I felt my nail dig into the plastic arm of the chair. After a few concerning words were said assuring that we gonna be safe, from the flight attendants, aunty and daddy, saying that we are gonna be safe is when I finally started to relax. After no time at all with music in my ears, I fell asleep on the uncomfortable chair, with my seatbelt tightly around my waist.

I woke up when I felt the vibration of the plane, I was startled so I jumped in my seat clinging to the chair. I swear if my seatbelt wasn't tight around my waist I would have jumped out of my seat and would I at hand, I felt hungry so I asked daddy if I could have a chicken and mayo with a sprite, and some chocolate with chips - it is my lunch duchies so back off, I love my food okay. After the meal, I kept busy on my tablet (which was also on flight mode) while listening to music on my phone

Before I knew it we had landed and out of the plane and had our luggage, daddy was pushing a trolley and so was aunty, shame poor aunty, I don't feel sorry for my old man though. We managed to catch a cab and arrived in California a beautiful place, I tell you. Only to find out at our arrival that we had to move to a town that wasn't anywhere close to California but further into the woods - cause there was a mix-up with the addresses

I'm not gonna lie was infuriating but exciting, I mean, I've been wishing to breathe in the fresh air and see the beautiful scenery, maybe even see wolves, I was kind of hoping to see one. Maybe even werewolves or one if I'm lucky. I know a false dream but hey no one can stop me from dreaming, well no one except a prison like place called school, but I will be graduating soon since it will be the last semester for me, luckily

I hated the long boring classes and loved the place because I would have a few laughs with the teachers. There were bad days mostly: waking up in the morning was never fun. Trust me, I know how you feel and I'm a person who loves their bed - a lot - and food, but now I just plainly hated it cause I had to play the new kid role, I let out a long sigh

We arrive at a town that looked old, forgotten, really reserved and had beautiful features from nature (vines, wallflowers, etc) surrounding and intertwining with the place, like decorating the buildings, mostly the houses that I saw, had flowers all over it. I even saw water lilies on the water, but they were closed meaning that they were night lilies. Which was so cool

°I am so coming to this lake at night on a full moon. I just hope daddy let's me and I

also hope its not too far from our house. Where is it anyway?°

I thought to myself. We turn a corner and the car starts rocking, bringing me back to the present, I was staring at the lake the whole time thinking. We arrive after a while and the lake was a couple of mile away, so unfortunately dady won't let me come here at night. The house was a triple story and it was painted dark blue with little white dots that look like stars - I found out that they were actually wall flowers, like how cool it is that it's big enough for a person to see it though, it looked beautiful like the midnight sky. But dady didn't really like it, I could tell, I wasn't sure what aunty thought though.

Daddy: Natasha, Kapish Kabash what do you, what do you people think cause you are gonna be the ones to stay here the most

Pishka: I love it dady

I glared at him with that you owe me look and making him feel guilty look, I think he sensed it cause he looked the other side trying to distract himself and not look in my direction but I kept on pursuing the glaring of daggers at him.

Aunty(Natasha): It's okay even though I like pink, we can leave it like this for her

I think she noticed so she agreed with me but I didn't care and my smile was wide like from ear to ear, I think my eyes began to sparkle - well I hope they were cause I am not ready to leave in a pink house though. The moving truck arrived with our furniture on time. Daddy sent our new bought and some old furniture (we travelled with) ahead of us, so that it arrived when we did. We spent the whole day sorting out our furniture and staff but luckily finished in one day, it was hard and so tiring that not me or aunty were gonna cook

We ordered two pizzas, one had cheese and chicken the other had chicken, mushroom and cheese, etc. I had the chicken and cheese all to myself - I hate mushrooms. It was to celebrate my 16th birthday for this year that was in January and it's September now, it was because they were busy with work so they hardly were home and we were all trying to adjust to this new life style here in America. After eating my fill, I said my goodnight to both of them and went up to my room, I got changed into my a black baseball shirt that had "Flawless 23" on the back of it and I went on my phone before falling asleep in my bed

I found out that the name of this place was Selene, just like the name of the goddess of the werewolves, it also had some rumors of there being large wolves spotted around here.

~• Next Day •~

I woke to my ringing alarm at 6 am, I sat up and slowly rubbed my eyes as I sat there sluggishly. Standing up and stretching lazily I walk towards my phone that is across the room by the plug, where it was charging overnight. Staring down at it while turning it off with a swipe of my finger and went back to bed. When I woke up again it was 8 am, I grudgingly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to take a warm shower to wake up my sleepy state of mind

After a refreshing shower, I step out of the bathroom with a towel around my body that reached till my knees. Walking to my wardrobe while drying off my short wet ear long hair, opening my wardrobe I stare at the untidy pieces of clothing. I pick a black long sleeve shirt and a black pair of baggy pants with black socks.

After dressing up, in my all black outfit with matching socks, I put on black flip-flops. I walk back inside the bathroom and look at the mirror, seeing a fuzzy cloud of dark brown patched onto my head I huff and open my cabinet over my basin. I pull out a bottle and afro comb to do my hair, staring at the mirror and pulling at my cloud of dark brown think of how to style my hair

I try to straighten it but then it comes out the opposite so I leave it in it's frizzy-like state with the curliness it had. The only solution was to put it into three separate puffy balls of hair tied by pompoms. I walk down stairs to have some breakfast with the feeling of a change of routine today - I usually skip breakfast in the morning...
