Dear Mocha

✔️ 第7章

   The so-called guardian stares down at them, before clicking his tongue, he needed to know more about their situation.

"What happened to your so called friend?" He asks, symphasizing 'friend'. The boy glances from the guardian to Cupi, watching their conversation slowly.

Cupi gulps. She recalled what had happened the day before. "He was taken away by some evil people.."

Mocha nodded soon after, hiding behind her friend. Cupi clenched her fists whenever Seliana's voice came to her mind. She had to convince him.

She knew if they couldnt convince him to save them, they would have to try saving Kae themselves somehow.

The guardian backened, a sickly expression on his face. The boy that escorted them was nowhere to be seen.

"Then, if you require my help, pass my game."

The guardian was also gone, leaving in his place his cane. Mocha tightly stuck to Cupi, horrorfied. If he was going to attack — it'd be trouble.

The charm didn't fully re-charge so it'll be hard to get saved by bare magic. Cupi did mention she doesn't have full control —

The floor beneath them exploded, launching Cupi and Mocha in the ai0r. The two flew up, almost hitting the roof.

Black smoky hands crawled out of the broken floor, facing the duo. What was the guardian doing? Is this some sort of trap?

Cupi moved her hands, hoping she could use the wind element right now. As she tried numerously, Mocha searched the area.

She tried to find anything she can defend herself with. The hands closened by the second and her fear bubbled up.

Just after the attempt number thousand, Teal and green visuals started forming on Cupi's fingers. Just what was she doing?

Mocha found a broom trashed on the floor and snatched it, pointing it towards the hands. Cupi finally prepared to fight back, grinning from ear to ear.

WIND ELEMENT TECHNIQUE — TORNADO

"You seem to be struggling to get out of there. Do you need a hand?" Cupi mocked, moving her arms in fluid motion to soon form a wind tornado. She pulled Mocha and ran down the corridor.

Just as they thought they got away, more of those bodyless hands sprawled out of their hiding spots, aiming to chase the duo.

Cupi would start firing some wind blasts here and there, while Mocha would hit them with her broom, making them hit each other.

Cupi and Mocha continued this for the past few minutes, before the house tilted sideways.. they rolled down the corridor into the door at the end of the corridor.

They dashed right into the door, falling into black void. Mocha's head was spinning, she was confused, so confused in fact.

She didn't understand anything — Cupi seemed to be going through the same thing. Then, it turned pitch black.

Mocha was no more falling — she was standing on nothing — black mist surrounding her. In front of her was her.

She couldn't move her legs, which was odd. The doppleganger of Mocha clasped her hands together, closing her eyes.

Mocha found herself doing the same, and at that moment.. she felt something odd. Her head was spinning, confused by all that's happening in this odd house.

Her eyes snapped open when a figure of someone zooms past them, kicking something — the guardian!

The person whom kicked the guardian was none other than Kae, breathing heavily. He had broken chains wrapped around his wrists.

"Kae?!" Cupi mumbled, holding her head together. "Save the chat for later! There is still more coming!" Mocha warned.

The three sped up out of the window, jumping out, they were falling from the eighth floor with no idea what to do.

Kae pulled the duo close to him, as he gracefully landed onto his two feet. He looked up to see the hands from the window.

Just as they thought everything was okay, the little boy appeared from the top of a car, holding.. grenades!?!

Kae ran past him, trying to find a way out. The kid had followed them, jumping out of the window with a sinister giggle.

"I'm your imagination! Don't worry!!"

I'm your imagination.

Mocha and Cupi woke up at the same time, they were both still at the same home, and the little kid was sitting in the room.

"Oh! You woke up!!" He smiled, putting down the book he was reading with. "What? Kae? Kae?" Mocha called.

Cupi was sweating, she probably saw Kae too. Mocha turned to her friend, tears began forming in her eyes.

"What happened to Kae?" She yelled, pulling the boy's forearm. He flinches at the sudden pull, trying to free himself from her grip.

"You were dreaming! Please, let go of me!"

She was dreaming? Kae wasn't actually there? What? All of that was a nightmare? She looked down at her hands.

The boy stumbled backwards after that due to him tugging to free himself. His arms were throbbing, and he rubbed it gently. "I'm sorry.. just what happened?"

Cupi pat her face, and the guardian came in, with his cane in hand. "Ah, so you made it out of there, without going insane."

"Out of where?"

"My hallucination room." He said, smiling. He leaned onto his cane. "I must make sure this is not a trap, and I'll help you."

"Why would we lie?"

"He's a wizard,"

"Oh.." Cupi says..

Cupi and Mocha stared at each other happily, they'll be able to save their friend Kae! She hugged Cupi tightly.

The little boy looked at his guardian, before back at the two happy girls. "But first! Where did you last see him?"

Mocha pulled away, looking at the kid. "In an alleyway in a market place?" she responded. Cupi nodded.

The kid stood up, inching closer to her. "Okay, we'll meet there tomorrow morning, before the crowd shows up."

The guardian nodded agreeingly, ruffling the boy's brown hair. "Yes, go there, Hayen and I will meet you two there."

Mocha's eyes averted to Hayen, the little boy who beamed back at her before looking back at Cupi, who was probably crying from happiness.
