Chapitre 4: 'Fresh Start'
"Wow! I never thought I'll ever see such a beautiful baby girl in my life." A lady in yellow commended.
"It's a baby girl!!" A man in black robe repeated excitedly, "my very own female child!"
'I'm dreaming right?' Lexi pondered 'I am evidently sixteen yet everyone is referring to me as a baby'
While Lexi was still contemplating on her current predicament, an old, yet pretty woman picked her up, and with the aid of a white piece of cloth, which she dipped into a small amount of water at a somewhat lukewarm temperature, she gently dabbed on the child's body. After which she wrapped the baby in a pink swaddle , before handing her over to the man in black robe, who apparently was the child's father.
"Oh my dear! your stepmother and brothers will be so delighted to meet you?" He said with great enthusiasm.
"D..Darius, please can I have my baby now?" A sweet and soft voice pleaded." Darius in turn, reluctantly handed the baby to slender, yet beautiful young lady.
Lexi noticed that this lady, made her feel safe, so she didn't struggle when she was placed in her arms.
A boy of about seven years old, walked to the side of the wooden bed, and asked keenly -
"Miss, sorry to bother you. It's just that I'm a little curious about what name your child bear?"
"It's alright to be curious, by the way am glad you asked. I think I will name this little one Nyx.
Gasps escaped people mouths " Nyx!" they muttered "such a wonderful name."
"I have never heard of such a name."
"How lucky the child is. to be given such an exhilarating name."
"I wish I could change mine."
"Forget the name, look at how badly cute the child looks.
The mother of the child was so focused on her baby, that she did not even hear the complementary remarks.
" Leila should we get going, or would you like to rest a bit longer?" Darius asked, revealing Nyx mother's name.
"No you head on without me, I'll be with you in some minutes."
When he nodded, Nyx couldn't help but boil in rage.
'What kind of person, let's his wife walk all the way home, after delivery. If only this stupid body of mine could do anything other than just receiving Kudo on cuteness overload."
Even if Nyx was saying words, it just sounded to the others like a crying child.
Leila cuddled her baby closer, gently placing the puffy good-looking, natural baby food source, into her mouth.
Nyx could only suck on, and on, even if she felt a bit irritated.
The woman who appeared to have been responsible for Nyx safe delivery, held out a quite heavy looking box.
"Here, this all things you may need, for your baby. Ensure she always have food to eat, you always cuddle her, and ....."
"Cranela, Cranela, this isn't the first child I am going to care for, so I can handle it well."
Cranela still felt discontented, so she argued further.
"Yes you've taken care of children, but this Leila, is your very own tot, and I really do not want anything grievous to happen to her."
Cranela and Leila were bonded in a way that, they never talked unless bout something necessary. Their relationship looked fragile, but on studying them closely, one would capture the the warmth feeling they expressed when conversing. Something tho was bothering Nyx. She noticed everyone was trying to keep their distance,as quietly as possible.
'Can't they just avoid being so dramatic!uh'
Gazing at her mother quizzically, Nyx noticed the tears brimming up in her eyes.
'Why is everyone except this woman, looking at her like that?'
"I should take my leave now." Leila said, gratefully accepting Cranela's present.
Nyx on the other hand, was still deep in thoughts. 'Aren't they going to clean her up, or at least get rid of the pungent spell she is emitting .' This new world was beginning to bother her a lot, especially since she hated the idea of living with people who would treat her like some worthless person.
"Dimitri!"Leila uttered, with one hand outstretched, and everyone watched as a black wisp of light emerged from her palm, wiping every single spot on her body clean, including her clothes.
Nyx laughed such that her she drew her mother's attention back to her.
"oh so you like it when I do that, if only others feel that way too." Leila whispered sadly.
With everything set, both hands became occupied. One possessing a motionless bag, the other a beautiful baby, Leila walked out of the room, trekking a bit too slowly, until she got to the forest and mounted a long wooden broom, which took off at lightening speed. Again Nyx goggled at her quietly, so she explained kindly
"Yes I am a sorceress! A dark witch! That's why they keep treating me as a pariah, because I'm not like them. I can't be like them. Is it wrong to be different? I could have destroyed all of them when I had chance, but I didn't, instead I sacrificed something special to me, someone beloved to me, to save them y..yet...yet...."
Tears streamed down her face, ultimately letting her real emotion take over.
Nyx gazed at her mother in pain, unable to comfort her.
'I wonder what kind of misery she has been through, but don't worry mother, I'm here now, even if I may not be your true child, I promise you that when I get ample and strong, I'll defend you from harm. If only you could understand me..'
The forest they were passing through was quite dark and scary. Something swiftly changed positions a bit, like in horror movies, compelling Nyx heart to beat with tremendous vehemence. At first she assured herself it was just her imagination, but then it moved again, this timen openly declaring it's presence.
"Roarhhh!"
"Oh no!
Mother fly rearwards! Turn around, it's going to eat us." Nyx howled unreasonable words, but was soon stunned by her mum's response.
"Dimitri, I have warned you times without number to always stay quiet, now look what you've done." Leila creased her eyebrows.
Dimitri, a large dragon with a red mark on his forehead, seemed precisely like a battle lord. The enormous dark monster backed away with it's head down in resentment.
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't hide my excitement when I detected you came to visit me."
This time Nyx was too tired to even react.
'It talked! It freaking spoke!'
The beast leaned closer and let Leila fondle it's head gently
"You know I cannot comprehend what your saying, though it doesn't suppress the fact that I know your excited to see me." Leila said tenderly. "Oh, and I also want you to meet my baby Nyx."
"Nyx, what a charming name." The best thundered. "I'm Dimitri, your mother's demon Dragon, and I like you even if your dad annoys me to the very core."
Nyx laughed, pulling the red seal around the dragons neck.
Dimitri watched the little innocent and beautiful child play with it. "I like her, I'm sure of that, she is bold and ferocious just like you, she isn't even scared of me. Such a name suits her well."
"So you like me huh?" Nyx questioned in her baby language, and this time it was the dragons turn to be thrilled. Before he could even reconsider what happened, Leila bade him goodbye, and continued her ride.
After relatively some time, they came face to face with a huge gate, surrounded by thick walls, formed from a black substance.
A guard in brown armour strode through the gate, and examined Leila impatiently.
"What business do you have here? Couldn't you have just died with that ugly thing in your hands, after all we can't handle two demons."
Leila was beyond frantic, not because she was spoken to without respect, rather her child was insulted, and called an ugly thing.
"Scarntero!" she roared, her eyes glowing black. "You nitwit, simply because I don't speak, doesn't mean you harbor the right to insult my child."
Nyx observed with nervousness as black insects, drafted on the man from inside out. Surprisingly she didn't feel sorry for him.
"Hahaha, if I'm called a demon, and it's the only way to safeguard my daughter, then so be it."
By the time Leila was done speaking, there was nothing left to indicate the man ever existed. Satisfied with her work, she smiled and strode towards the gate.
"Enchante!" Leila commanded, and the gate opened widely. Turning back to back to her baby she said sweetly."Let's make today special for you."
The geriatric and craggy swaddle cloth Nyx was wrapped in, soon turned to dazzling white and gold colours.
"Although my favorite colour is black, it doesn't mean I should impose it on you. Until I'm able to figure out what your favorite colour is, your stuck with white and gold."
'Gold and white? You've got to be kidding me, those are literally my worst colors. I really prefer black, I mean why will someone want to look like a rainbow, it's just too absurd. ' Nyx inwardly complained.
People stared at the duo in awe. Leila's body glowed a smooth white colour, giving her a domineering appearance. As much as they all wanted to celebrate with her, nobody bulged, commending the child in her embrace.
A young woman, in her thirties stepped forward and wailed due to covetousness -"You evil bastard, how dare you come back here with that little demon, I hope you don't..."

Before she could finish off her sentence, an invisible twine sew her lips, sealing it totally shut. After what happened, no one dared to mock or commend Nyx, rather they returned back to their varied jobs, constantly peeking at the dazzling figure, walking away.
"That was fun wasn't it?" Leila asked in excitement, as soon as they disappeared from everyone's sight.
"[soughs deeply]I hate to spoil your mood, yet I have to sadly declare to you that we are home." She said dryly.
Nyx became disappointed by her mother's tone, expecting that they were poor or something worse than poor.
By merely turning around, the view in front of her nearly made her faint, as only one word passed through her mind.
