FOREVER IN ABYSS

CHAPTER 2 - THE DREAMER

Yuri put on his shoes. It was already dark outside. He might be afraid but he knew that it was the right thing to do. He told his mother that he has a project to do thus he would be staying at a friend’s house.

He didn’t know what to expect but he need to save his friend. He didn’t know what made him do this decision. He could have told Yuto and Ryosuke or the police, or Ryutaro’s parents but then he didn’t.

It seemed to be the right thing to do at the moment. For what reason, he didn’t really understand.

“Yuri, are you going, now?” his mother asked.

“Hai.” He answered while smiling at her.

“Be careful there and make sure you eat, okei.”

Yuri nodded and smiled at his mother. “Bye, ma.” He said and kissed her cheek.

Yuri stood at the foot of a pathway. He was right, he had seen that mansion before. He used to pass this way when he was still in elementary school. It was still very beautiful then, somewhat new with a majestically light feeling.

It draws attraction because of its vast garden of red, violet, white and pink flowers. It is very feminine if you look at it. There were petunias, red roses, violets, dama de noche and other kinds of flowers that Yuri couldn’t identify though there were only four colors. It was amazing how they were able to create such a garden.

The long pathway that leads to the main door had several lamp posts on either side. There were rumors going on before that this house was a house of a certain important princess. Well, no one can doubt that since it really looks majestic.

Yuri wondered how they survive without putting a huge gate or fence or anything to keep intruders away.

He stood there for a while contemplating on what he should do. Will he just walk and barge in or will he knock on the front door?

He had a hunch that Ryutaro was inside but of course he was not sure. It is impolite to just barge in, right?

He was in this thought when the huge door opened. His heart skipped a beat as he waited.

It seemed to Yuri that the time slowed as he himself anticipated the next events.

A girl with a wavy long brownish hair which was tied in a bun went out. She smiled to him with her eyes slightly turning into slits. “I have been waiting for you. Welcome, dreamer.” She said smiling.

Waiting? And what did she call me? Dreamer?

Yuri walked towards the door. He stopped in front of the girl. Closer, she was really pretty. Her skin was very fair and smooth. She had a small face which small lips and nose. Her eyes were quite small and chinky. She had dimples on both cheeks. A Taurean ascendant.
