Faristica Academy

4. Doomy Decision

After what happened that day, everything went smooth I guess.. But not today... Nanny has been continuously pushing me to go join that academy and I've said that it's fake but she doesn't seem to listen to me!

***

"How can you say it's fake?"

"Well how can you say that it is real!"

*Silence arose again*

I didn't want to go because then, I'd have to leave Xan behind! She was my only eyes, my only heart. How can I move on ahead without her?! Just the thought of leaving her made my heart break and my face started becoming red and eyes watery. I tried to not look directly into her eyes as I knew I would break out again.

"S-see.. If you don't g-go... Then I won't e-eat or drink anything for the next 2 months...!" She spoke stuttering. I knew she would do this, this was her act, she always did this! But this time, I'm not falling for her schemes at all. She can't even wait an hour for snacks, how will she control herself for two fricking months!

I scoffed at her words and spoke, "Well then if you force me to go, then I won't sleep for another few months!!" After all, sleep is more important than food, I think... She was surprised but not at my words, but my attitude. I'll say, I was quite rude right there for scoffing at her. I feel worse now.

We both didn't give up. We either gave each other cold glances which were not meant to show harm, sometimes ignored and even turned our heads when one saw the other coming. I couldn't bare it anymore. I thought of some way to escape it. After all, when all doors are closed, god always leaves one window open. And that is my exit!

*** (Xan's POV)

This girl... She wasn't so stubborn back then. Her past still haunts her and I want her to move on and forget it. But it seems nearly impossible! If she goes to the academy, she will find her true self and get what she really deserves. She still has a lot to learn about this world because soon she will have to face it. The academy is a perfect trainer for her. And this opportunity, is one but worth a million.

She can't stay in forever. It's not always safe. One day will come, when powerful creatures may come and attack. She must prepare! I jot down all my emotions and go to her. I open my mouth to let the words out but something feels wrong inside me..

"Say, you worry about me being alone here at this house. But I can go to my grandchildren's house, who are not so far too.." Yet it wasn't her worrying about me being alone, but her being left out and abandoned like before. I could feel her sad aura emerging in the background... I kinda regretted how I framed those words..

I saw nanny come in. She spoke up. I kinda didn't expect this, atleast not like this. It felt like a knife through my heart. It pained. I broke out again. I hated myself for being this sensitive, but I couldn't risk being alone again.

I could see my vision becoming blurry and nanny running to me panicked. I let out a small laugh thinking that, yet, again I made another worry to look over.

I woke up and the surroundings were blinding. Too bright, I thought. I saw granny feeling relieved to see me conscious. I collected my thoughts and determined that I won't cause any more troubles. I conceived of an idea and decided to share it. Maybe it's best for both worlds. I started speaking, "Why don't we both make an agreement, eh?"

A/N: Sorry for kinda late update guys! Anyways, enjoy!
