HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 3

It's late at night, Jocelyn hasn't come home. Usually, on Sunday he would come home at midnight drunk. Bella as usual will also wait for Jocelyn, hear a little mockery, then deliver Jocelyn to her room.

The rain is getting worse out there. Bella closed the window of her room that was open due to the wind carried by the rain. As he was about to close the window door, suddenly a heavy flapping of wings sounded, and a burly hand appeared holding the end of the window.

"Hello Bella."

Arro with a heavy voice suddenly appeared in front of Bella, a jolted Bella almost dropped herself.

"Arro? Gosh." Bella is still fixing her hunting breath.

"Hahaha, sorry .. sorry," said Arro still standing in front of his window, "Can you come in?" ask Arro politely.

Bella had not answered anything, Arro had already stepped in through the window. Bella just resigned and let it go.

"You live alone?" asked Arro while looking through the contents of Bella's room.

"Sama Mama, but Mama's out, not home yet" replied Bella as if.

Bella notices Arro's body that was scarred last night. But he had not found any wounds, not even the scars were visible. His body finally returned to perfection. So Perfect. A well-built body with slightly protruding muscles, bright skin, and of course a beautiful face with no gaps. But, is he not cold? Think Bella. Bella had met him twice, but Arro always did not wear top clothes. Only his black trousers were worn.

Arro who felt he was being stared at, turned to look at Bella. "Are you watching my body?"

"Gosh, No. I just saw your body condition, you were scarred last night." Bella's in, a little flutter.

"So that means yes .. You're watching my body." Arro smiled faintly at Bella's expression.

"No, it's not so …." Bella will deny it again. But he remembered something more important than that, "Wait, what are you doing in a girl's room and why do you know my place? Are you watching me from up there?" cutie Bella, she's never put a man in her room. Let alone his private room, not even to the living room though. Bella knows enough to not invite the opposite sex to a house that doesn't belong to her.

Bella stared at Arro intensely, looking for answers. But instead of answering, Arro heads to his study table, picks up Bella's bag, and pulls out a piece of her wings.

"I can tell your place from this, you take it." Arro showed me that wing.

"So if I don't bring it, you won't find me?" ask Bella again.

"Maybe. But I can still find you. You tau? I have some kind of magic to it," replied Arro casually. He took Bella's study chair, sat back to the table, faced Bella, and folded his arms over the chair's backrest.

Bella just looked at it, then asked again, "and Mr. Arro. what's the answer to, ‘what are you doing here? In a girl's room?’" Bella tried to intimidate. But, Arro saw her instead smiling sweetly.

Arro paused for a moment, then said, "someone up there saw you yesterday. I'm just making sure you're safe." Arro's face turned serious.

"I didn't do anything wrong. I just want to help you. Besides, what can a high school kid like me do? I don't even have wings like you." Bella did not understand the situation that Arro described. He only had good intentions yesterday.

Arro only listens to Bella, much she wants to say. He wants to explain everything, but according to him, Bella will only get deeper into her world.

"Bella, I understand how you feel, but I can't explain it yet. It's all too complicated. My world is very different from your peaceful world. There, there is a power war. People who don't like me, will do anything to destroy everything I come into contact with. This is all I can say now.” Arro paused his words, he stood up, approached Bella, then bowed to be equal to the height of Bella who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Bella could feel Arro's breathing from this distance. It smells very fresh sweet. Like pine trees in spring.

Arro continued saying, "Therefore, let me repay your goodwill last night. Let me at least keep an eye on you for these 3 days. After that, I will never appear in front of you again. I have to make sure no one is hurt by what's going on up there" Arro said very gently .

Arro wanted to say again, but suddenly there was the sound of broken glass slamming loudly from outside Bella's room.

Arro and Bella both look at the door that is still closed, then Bella suddenly woke up from her seat and told Arro to leave immediately. Bella knows, it's Jocelyn who's gone home.

"Arro, if you want to save me, now's the time. Please go!" Bella panic. He forgot to lock the door to his room.

Instantly, the door was opened wide, "This Damn child has gone home as it turns out. Where did you sell yourself last night, huh? You piece of trash!" Jocelyn was already standing on the doorstep, displaying her face that was already flushed red from mostly drinking alcohol.

Bella was shocked, she immediately turned towards Arro was standing, but it turned out that Arro had left with his window wide open. Bella breathed a sigh of relief. When Bella was staring at the window, suddenly her hair was grabbed violently. Bella started to moan in pain. Jocelyn, angry at being ignored, utters a curse, then slaps Bella hard until Bella falls to the floor.

As Bella falls, suddenly a large shadow from her window covers her. He turned towards the shadow and Arro had already appeared there with his wings spread wide and was staring furiously at Jocelyn. Those ocean-deep blue eyes, had already turned as red as blood. Even the rain that had subsided, came back down very fast plus the sound of lightning that boomed violently.

Jocelyn who saw that, was stunned in shock, then stood up like a statue that was silent rigidly. Bella watched Jocelyn who let out a stifled voice, like a person who could not breathe. Bella knew it was Arro.

"ARRO, NO!" Shouting Bella. His voice was almost defeated by the rushing sound of rain and lightning striking.

Arro doesn't care about Bella's screams. He looked straight at Jocelyn.

"Arro, I beg you,” Og Bella. Jocelyn was almost blue, Bella could see, there was no blood flow on Jocelyn's face.

"ARROOO!!!!" Shouted Bella again. This time it was harder.

Hearing Bella's scream, Arro stopped staring and immediately closed his eyes. Jocelyn then fell to the floor. Bella approached Jocelyn limped, then checked if her pulse was still beating.

Bella breathes her legs when she learns Jocelyn's pulse is still beating, albeit very weak. Bella turned to face Arro.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Bella screams in anger.

Arro, hearing Bella's question, hides her wings, and enters Bella's room. He knelt in front of Bella. The rain water left on Arro's body also fell on the floor. Bella could see that the blood-red netra had turned blue again.

"Bella, I've asked your permission and you've allowed it, haven't you?" Arro looks at Bella's clingy. He waited for Bella to agree to his actions.

"But I'm not asking you to hurt my family." Bella's voice was heard softly, she held back her cries.

"Bella, I don't care who it is. I'll only protect you for 3 days. If you don't want me to hurt anyone, make sure nobody hurts you, okay?" arro said before he stood up, then turned to face the window, ready to step outside.

"Fuck!" Bella called out to him, there were still questions in his mind. "Why would anyone hurt me? You just need to protect me from your people, right?"

Arro halted his steps, turning to look at Bella, "Because, as this agreement progresses, I don't care who hurts you, I'll kill them." Arro paused, "I feel what you feel. Pain in your body, and pain in your heart."

Bella was surprised by Arro's words. Actually, Arro was going to say this before Jocelyn barged into Bella's room.

While Bella was still with her thoughts, Arro had already disappeared from before her.
