Chapter 239: THE VILLAGE OF ANGELS

Chapter 239 THE VILLAGE OF ANGELS

Really, Haven wondered, where had she ended up. Her jaw dropped a little as she gaped at the place in awe but at the same time, she felt really uncomfortable. She didn’t know what sort of place she found herself in.

The street was bustling with people who smiled and greeted one another as though they knew everyone there.

As they walked on, she peered at people’s faces hoping she could maybe see Avena. It was possible she also ended up here if she wasn’t at the desert but her hopes died down when she couldn’t find her. She didn’t know anyone there.

Some of the people looked at Haven with a strange gaze wondering who she was. They had never seen her around before. They didn’t stare at her for long though, and Haven felt grateful for that. Most of them wore similar woolen clothes like the boy did and even had woolen sweaters or a lambskin coat to keep them warm from the cold.

“ Brother Kace has gone over to visit our sister who lives over there.” He pointed to a house in the near distance. “ Come, I’ll take you there.” He gestured for her to follow before disappearing in the small crowd. Haven didn’t find it hard to catch up since she could sight the small house from where she stood.

Haven found one thing strange too. She had supposedly been passed out for a week but she wasn’t hungry at all. Even the thirst she felt earlier at the desert had disappeared and she was full of energy. Was it because she had slept for long?

“ We’re here!!” The boy announced knocking on the door. “ Sister Katie!! Brother Kace!!” He beamed as he knocked. The door opened soon enough and a beautiful woman wrapped in a red shawl appeared before them.

“ Sister Katie!” The boy wrapped his tiny arms around the woman who smiled brightly.

“ Kyle? How come you’re her—” Her bright silver- colored eyes finally noticed Haven who was standing some feet away. Both her eyes and hair were in the color of silver, just like her mum’s and Avena’s. Even those people who had come to visit her mother while she was about to deliver Avena also had the same.

Now that Haven thought about it, she had seen a lot of people with silver eyes and hairs on her way here. Do these people have anything to do with her mum?

“ Oh” The woman gasped in surprise. “ You’ve woken up already?” The surprise was evident in her voice as she spoke. She didn’t expect to see Haven awake so soon.

“ Well, come in then. It’s really cold outside.” She said grabbing Haven by the arm and leading her inside. “ It’s good you’re up. My name is Katie.” She introduced herself as they walked into the small house. “ And that is my brother, Kace” She pointed to a man sitting on a couch. The man who also had silver hair looked up and his eyes locked with Haven’s. He was also surprised to see her there.

“ Kace was the one who found you at the desert.” She said as the little boy, Kyle ran to his brother.

“ You were passed out and almost at the verge of death when I rescued you.” He grinned shuffling his little brother’s hair. “ Your condition was really bad. Thankfully, my sister had some medicine that could help.”

“ Thank you.” Was all that Haven could say.

“ There’s no need for thanks.” Katie clasped her hands. “ You’re just one of us so you don’t have to thank us.”

“ One of you?”

“ Yeah it’s no big deal.” Kace replied. “ We’re all one.”

Their words did nothing but confused Haven further what did they mean by one of them? No, right now she wasn’t interested in that. All she wanted to know was how she got to that desert and how to go back home. And where in the world she was at right now.

“ How did you find me?”

“ You called me, that’s how.” Kace replied.

“ Called? But I never called you.” Haven didn’t remember calling out to him at all. Katie who had left both of them and went to the kitchen returned with a tray containing two glasses of water. She set it down on the table in the room and handed one over to Haven before passing the second one to Kace who murmured a small “ thanks.”

“ If you hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have been able to find you. Kace said before jugging down his glass of water.

“ But I didn’t call you.” Haven insisted. “ I don’t even re—”

“ You probably didn’t realize when you called for help.” He shrugged setting down the glass on the table. “ That must be why.”

“ Yes.” Answered Katie as she sat down beside her little brother who was playing with a toy. “ You probably didn’t know when you called out for help. You know each guardian angel has a unique way of communicating with one another.

Again, with the guardian angel talk. What’s wrong with these people?

“ You.. you don’t know what you really are?” Katie asked when she caught the confusion on Haven’s face.

“ What do you mean? Of course I know who I am.” I’m a werewolf she wanted to say but Katie beat her to it.

“ You’re one of us. A guardian angel.”

The place was blanketed by silence as Haven tried to discern what she had just heard. Guardian angel? She? There must be some sort of confusion somewhere.

“ I’m sorry but you must be mistaken. I’m not one of you people, I’m a were—”

“ There’s no mistake, we can’t make a mistake in identifying our kind.” It was Kace who spoke. “ You’re one of us.”

Haven couldn’t believe her ears. “ No.. it can’t be.. I really am not..” She looked around as if that would help. She wished she could Seraphina, Avena or anyone she knew right now. At least they could tell these people they were mistaken about her. That she wasn’t one of them but a werewolf.

“ She really doesn’t know a thing.” Haven heard the little boy voiced out. He stared at her with an accusing look as though her ignorance was the greatest sin in this world. “ She doesn’t even know who she is.”

Haven scoffed. Seriously?

‘ Relax Haven.. just relax’ She told herself taking deep breaths. All these is just a huge form if confusion. She will not allow herself go crazy because of this. She needed to find a way to return home or at least find Avena or Seraphina. But first, she should know where she was at right now, only then will she be able to know what to do next.

“ I’ve come from Newfoundland, if I may ask, where am I right now?” Her eyes shifted between the three peop

le in front of her waiting for an answer.

“ This is the village of Angels”
