Touch not the waters

Ok, let's come back to the present, I guess you now understand mom's reason for calling me Demian, a name that rhymes with a demon. Well, it's true, I'm Damian, a hybrid of mom a beautiful human lady, and Dad, a seductive Akwa-being, and a Sea King, I guess that made me an Aqua-prince, and yes this is the story of my life.

I ran so fast jumping over obstacles like a sprinter in a huddle race, dodging some branches of trees as I ran through a bush path, I ran so fast only to stop in front of a small stream. There was a plank placed in form of a bridge to aid crossers to cross comfortably. As I got to the stream my expression changed, I wished that I knew any other way, but there was none known to me, I have to cross the stream if I must get to my destination. I used to be too scared of water, I believe that I have water allergies. I closed my eyes, spread my arms, folded my fist, and squeezed hard as I slowly managed to cross the local bridge. Immediately I crossed the stream and continued with my race, I ran till I got to a house located almost out of town. 

"Mommy nurse! Mommy nurse!!!" 

I shouted as I banged at the door simultaneously.

"Damian! What is it?"

 A lady said as she opened the door to find me panting heavily like a fallen angel.

 "It's mom! It started again, and we are out of the inhaler." 

I said with air gushing out through my lungs, making my words a bit unclear.

"That mother of yours, I've always warned her against this... Never let your inhaler go empty before a refill. But she is too careless, she prefers things of urgency, now give me the container." 

Said the lady and quickly she collected the Inhaler from me and ran into the house.

"Now run back to her, tell her I'm not happy with her. Now go!"

She said as she came out Grinning, making this piercing expression as she gave me back the inhaler. I collected the inhaler and quickly ran home: I ran nonstop only to take a pause yet again at the same stream with the local bridge made of plank, I managed to cross the bridge the same way and manner which I did when I was coming. 

"BOOM!" 

This was the scream I heard, my heart almost stopped as I heard the sound: I got even more scared when I opened my eyes to see a four-man squad standing in my way locking and cracking their fist. I actually recognized the boys, they were only but one group out of my numerous unfriendly folks, I had more haters than I had lovers in his community, especially among the male folks. Actually, if I must be sincere, I'll say that I find it easy to make friends with female folks but almost impossible to earn a male friend, they often hate me at the first sight of me.

"What do you want from me this time?"

 I asked as I felt so irritated at the sight of them.

Though I can't say that I know them to an extent, I know them at least, they had always been on my tail, always looking for an opportunity to bully me, they were evil in all their ways.

"Nothing o, nothing, we only want to mess you up a Lil bit." 

Said boy one. Hmm... Well, I'll use numbers to identify these boys because I never got to know their names, and they should even be grateful to find themselves in my story. Ok, let us go back to the story, those boys, well they got what they deserve.

 "Please my mom sent me an urgent message, I need to get this to her right now. ." 

I said to them and I even showed them the inhaler, but their wickedness cannot let them reason with me.

"Haha haha! Mommy's boy. I hate this boy ehn." 

Boy two added, making a face of disgust.

"What's even that on his hand?" 

Asked boy three. Foolish moo, he knew not what an inhaler is.

"I think it's an inhaler." 

Said boy four. 

"Hmm... He even got asthma, disease carrier, who even knows if he got the coronavirus." 

Boy three added.

"Common... Collect that rubbish thing from his hand." 

Said boy one. 

"No, no no! Please, Mom needs it urgently." I cried out as they tried to take the inhaler from me, this time I even tried to run but I was stopped by the boys who were now in a circle formation, I was trapped in their middle

"I hate you, even more when you say; Mom."

 Said boy two as he quickly grabbed me and squeezed the inhaler out of my hand, all I could do now was to beg for their mercy, I begged but no one paid attention. I attempted to fight with the boys but I was overpowered and beaten I was even pushed into the stream, poor me who believed I was allergic to any flowing water. I screamed as I fell into the little stream, so terrified, I almost looked like a little kitten dipped into the pool. At that moment I felt I was going to die... Mom had always warned me against any stream, river, or even swimming pool. 

"The day you dare to touch any of this water, that day... You might die." 

Mom had always said this to me. Immediately my body made contact with the water I blacked out. And when I regained my consciousness I found myself out of the water with the four boys already on the ground, and boy two crying with a broken arm, I turned around to find boy four begging, dragging his butt on the ground with an immense fear registered in his face. 

"Pl. P. Please. Please don't hurt me." 

He said with fear all over his gesture.

Though I was Confused and clueless about the happenings, I still had no time to figure it out. "Mom needs me." So I said as I picked up the inhaler and ran off
