A Girl Adopted

Chapter 11- Amara

Sunday went in lazing around and stuffing my face with anything that I found edible. Ryder didn't leave

my side except when I was bathing or using the washroom. That too he was standing right outside of

the door. It feels weird to bath or pee or poop when your brother is just outside the door and with

enhanced hearing to add in the embarrassment. Papa was out doing god know what. Uhhh I miss my

freedom. Well I am being overly dramatic but it's really getting on my nerves now. It's Monday morning

and I am on Ryder's back, on my way to school. He is dropping me off. Hehehe I am a lazy bum, so I

don't mind. At least I don't have to walk all the way there.

We reached our usual place where he drops and picks me up. I got off his back. I thought he will turn

around and go back home but he started walking towards the school.

"Umm where are you going?" I asked confused.

"To the school with you." He said like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

"Whaaaat? Have you lost your mind? What am I going to say in the school? Hey people this is my

older brother and yes he is a transparent wolf. You can see right through him. He is going to stay by my

side in the school for a few days because of some vampires lodging around us. Please be nice to him.

Everyone will freak out after seeing you Ryder. I will be fine. Besides it’s a school and it's stuffed with

god knows how many people. No one will harm me there. So relax and go home. I will let you know in

the mind link when I get off." I stopped my rant.

"First, I am not a transparent wolf. I am a wolf spirit." he said giving an annoyed face making me giggle

"Second, those vampires go to the very same school and I am not risking anything. Papa will murder

me if those vampires got even near you. And no one can see me if I don't want them to. I don't know

how you did it back then but it's a story for another time. Also no one can touch me. I am a spirit for

god's sake. They will pass right through me. So we don't have a problem here. I know your mind is

filled with questions by the looks you are giving me right now but we need to go. So get your butt to

school right now or you will be late." He said amused by my reaction.

I opened my mouth to talk, but he cut me off," I am not answering any of your questions so shut your

mouth and start walking. Just think that I am not here and you won't be bothered. We will talk in the

mind link while we are here so you won't look stupid talking to yourself." I huffed and started walking. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

How am I supposed to think that he is not here when I can see a huge freaking wolf walking by my side

and people walking right through him? It's a very disturbing sight. I mean you don't get a chance to

watch people passing right through your brother everyday but you don’t want to witness such scene

either. I am walking in the school corridor which is filled with students, looking at Ryder passing right

through people or people passing through him. My state of horror was broken though when something

big and fat dropped on my back. I almost lost my balance but caught it at the last moment. The said

object turned out to be none other than Aaron. He put his hand over my shoulder and Ryder growled.

'Relax. He is my best friend.' I told Ryder in the mind link. Brothers.

Ryder huffed and continued walking but now by my side. Over protective brother mode activated. I

ignored him and started talking with Aaron.

"Hey!"

"Hi." He replied.

"How was your weekend?" I asked him.

"Good. I was lazing around anyway. How about you?" he said.

A vampire almost killed me and I found out all the Knights are vampires. I lost my freedom due to those

stupid vampires. There is a huge ass wolf walking by side as a proof. Other than that everything's

peachy. Ryder sniggered beside me. I so want to hurl a brick at him but it will pass right through him so

I won’t bother wasting my energy.

"Good." I said in a sarcastic tone. But fortunately Aaron didn’t catch it. Ryder snickered again. I

completely ignored him.

The bell rang signalling to enter the class and we ran towards it. Its biology as usual with Aaron as my

partner. Alexander was already in his seat talking to Elena. They looked like they knew each other

pretty well. I shouldn't interfere in their matter. He smiled at me when I passed his desk. I just looked at

him with a confused face as I didn't knew what to do. I sat at my desk. Aaron sat beside me. They both

turned around.

Elena said," Are you alright? You look quiet tired."

"Yeah. Just caught a bit of cold." I replied.

"Did you see a doctor then?" Elena asked.

"Nahhh I will be as good as new in a few days." I replied rubbing my eyes. I should have stayed home.

"If you say so." Elena said shrugging.

Alexander was about to say something when Mr. Bush entered the classroom. He started teaching.

Aaron and I were talking in hushed voices about some anime when I got a text. The number was saved

as AK. When did I save this number and who is it? I opened it. It read,

'Hey! This is Alex. I saved my number in your phone when you were unconscious and got yours as

well. Are you free after school? I have to talk to you about something.'

Holly hell! I so want to smack him in the back of his head. How dare he touch my phone without asking

me? Well I can't do much about it now. I looked at him but he was staring straight ahead. What does he

want to talk to me about anyway? Ryder definitely won't allow me to meet him. I told Ryder about the

message in the mind link, he said see what he wants. This is weird. I replied to Alexander,

'Yeah, I am free. What do you want to talk about?'

'I will tell you after school. Meet me at the back of the school after last class.'

'You are not planning on killing me are you?' I joked but I was still conforming my doubts.

'No. Off course not. Meet me there okay.'

'Fine'

Biology and Calculus were over in a blink and it is lunch now. I am walking towards canteen with Aaron

on one side and Ryder on the other. We took our lunch and started walking towards our usual table.

Holy shit Alexander was sitting their chatting with my sister. I heard a growl from Ryder but, he went

silent after that. Alexander said hi to me and I returned it. Don't want to come out as rude do we now. I

sat down on the seat opposite of him. Aaron sat on my left and he also looked confused seeing

Alexander here. God his name is a mouthful. Got to shorten it up. Someone took the seat on my right

and Ryder growled again. I looked towards my right and almost screamed in surprise. It was none

other than Natalie and right beside her was Oliver, both grinning at me. Well this isn't creepy. Everyone

at the table were looking at the Knights like what is going on over here. Are they going to stalk me

now?

“Are you feeling alright now?” Natalie asked me.

"Yeah. Much better than Saturday." I replied.

"Can we be friends?" she continued in a hushed voice so only me, her and Oliver can hear. But I know

Alex heard her too with his super hearing and all that. She took me by surprise though.

"Why? I mean… I want to. But why me?" I shuttered out. Real smooth Amara.

"See being us, we didn't had any friend other than the family and we don't trust other vampires that

much to call them friends. As you already know about us and you look like we can trust you, we

thought why not." Oliver nodded his head and Natalie continued "I always wanted a friend out of the

family, so I don't have to hang out with these two knuckle heads. Besides Alex is really into Elena. She

will be comfortable too. So?" she wiggled her eyebrows.

There isn't any loss in this and they seem really nice. If Aaron is acquainted even little with the Knights,

no one will bully him when I am not around, which is almost never. We are stuck together like glue. It

will be a win win situation as the two of them are seniors. But Alex and Elena together. It will be really

dangerous for her. I can keep an eye on them if I am with them as well.

"Okay." I said smiling.

She squealed and gave me a big hug. I introduced them to Aaron. We started talking and lunch passed

by quickly. So we are now off to class. Ryder was awfully quiet all this time. I have a feeling he is going

to blow in my face when we get back home.
