Extinct

Visiting Aramos

We walked through a massive corridor where the once rock walls were replaced by wood and had paintings on the walls.

There where loads of doors to all different rooms, the musical room, social room, everything.

We finally got to a door with massive writing on it, saying something, in a language I didn't understand.

Damien and Cedrick turned to me, Damien was just about to say something until Marco walked up to us. "Looking better Valentine now...Araemos is slightly.....bizarre. He had his family taken from him at quite a young age and has been running from the aliens for most of his life, somehow his sympathy towards others seems to have 'faded' over time" He finished taking the cloth from my grip.

I nodded "right" and began to walk through the door, I walked onto the room, It was dark...lit by candles and strange lighting sent a strange beam of light through the room.

I walked in the wooden floor creaking under my high heeled leather boots a big swing in the middle was wining back and forth the back towards me so I couldn't seethe figure lounged in it.

I stood there on the platform waiting for permission, I'm not sure what type though.

I looked behind me as I heard more footsteps and Damien and Cedrick where behind me. I smiled at Damien who was grinning cutely, and turned my head back around to see a tall boy standing by a table and fiddling with a glass. Well he did that quickly.

"Now...do you all have to be in here" He said in a deep voice, he looked at Damien and Cedrick his green eyes glaring at them.

"We thought we might just see her in but-" The figure slouched in the chair held his hand up "enough" there was a long pause until he span his chair around. He slouched in his chair smirking in a strange way. He seemed very odd but in a beautious way. He had bright red hair which was medium lengethed and appeared as if it were ablaze, it complemented his big green eyes that lit up like fire starting. We wore a brown jumper which hugged his muscular figure, and brown trousers, he forcefully got up out of his chair after look at me up and down as if looking for something. He got up and walked slowly up the steps to the platform we where standing on, he stood right in front of me his tall figure towering over me. "You guys may leave, thank you"'he nodded at them his green eyes flickering like the candles that illuminated the room.

I look behind me, Damien seemed to notice I was abut scared, I mean who wouldn't be. He gave a sympathetic/ reassuring look, he seemed to understand me so well.

I heard the large door slam shut which made me flinch. Araemos walked down the steps and over to a little table. " would you like a drink?" He asked pouring a strange copper liquid into a posh glass.

" yes please...thank you" I said trying to be polite, it almost seemed as if he were royalty.

" my pleasure, please..take a seat" he said point towards a red cushion covered sofa. I'm not really sure I want to sit on that. I'm not used to these types of luxerys.

I sat down uncomfortably, trying to make it look as natural as possible but it just didn't work. He handed me a glass which had strange patterns carved into it.

"Thank you" I said taking the drink, I sniffed it, it smelled lovely.. The nicest thing I've ever smelt.

" what is this?!" I said in shock staring at the drink,

"A drink my family invented or created it's been our tradition to drink it at Christmas every year, but we haven't really had the need to celebrate it anymore...no one even knows what it is" he said a sad look came upon his tanned face.

" Christmas?" I asked, I've never heard of such a thing.

" it used to be a Christian celebration, it is to mark the birth of Jesus a holy man...the son of god 'the worlds creator'. Jesus apparently died on the cross for us, but that was celebrated at a different ceremony. At Christmas our ancestors before any of this happened" he pointed in the air and mouthed "aliens invaded"

And pulled a strange face.

" we used to buy each other gifts and spend time with our family's" when he said the word family my heart sunk...deep into my chest, I lowered my head not wanting to make eye contact.

" I'm sorry" he said after taking a loud sip from his drink. " it's fine" I mumbled running my fingers over the carvings in the glass.

" where did you get these amazing glasses from?" I asked trying to change the subject.

" my ancestors, everything in this room belonged to them" he said looking around a proud look on his face.

" how did you mange to cart it around?" I asked it was massive room how did he get all this stuff.

" when the aliens came our beautiful home was destroyed, luckily our gypsy cart was left alone, and we managed to escape with all of our important things.My family and I went through years of being gypsies....years on the road and never stopping at one place for two long" he said fiddling with a wooden dice that was on the table. He began pacing back and forth a serious look appeared on his face,

" how old are you?" He asked looking at me confused, I'm surprised that wasn't the first question he asked me.

" 15 almost 16" I smiled, he look shocked. " wow...you very mature, I had a sister your age and she wouldn't shut up" he laughed a vibration sent through the air.

I took a sip from the drink suddenly trust him, listening to all the things he was saying made me trust him he felt like a brother. The kind and gentle one.
