MYSTIC WORLD

Trouble maker

"MICHEAL!" Letting out a relief breath, "MICHAEL!!!" as I turned around, "Wait up!" Jimmy said as he ran towards Clara and me.

I glanced at Clara, "Go ahead, I will catch up." Thank goodness, I needed a distraction to gather my thoughts, and Clara won't stop talking about our wedding. This is the last thing I want to hear right now. My mind was in many places even tho I couldn't understand why I was restless in my mind.

"Alright," she nodded in agreement, "I will go to Mother," she glanced at Jimmy, "I know if I wait, both of you will not come back anytime soon.
Good day, Jimmy!" She taps me on the shoulder and goes in the opposite direction.

"Where did you disappear to?" Jimmy asked with his hands waved in the air questioning.

Wiggling my head in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Right after you bought these clothes," he turned me by the shoulder to keep walking. "So, did Clara like it? " Wiggles his eyebrows jokingly.

What rubbish is he getting at now? I stopped, removed his hand from my shoulder, and faced him "What are you talking about?" Shaking my head in confusion.

"This morning! When you came back from your haunt.
....Anyway, what's the occasion, " he started walking and I followed. "That you can't wait till market day?"

I stopped him again and blocked the line of his vision. "What are you talking about? I have not seen you today!" Holding his gaze steadily.

Jimmy giggled, "Mike, are you okay?" he looked at me closely, turning his head left and right to study my countenance.
..."You came this morning and bought two clothes, you even bought some provisions." Shunned his shoulder with a confused gaze. "When I asked you, you said you are giving it to someone. I assumed that person was Clara."

Okay, what in fitness name is going on? Still looked confused. I was trying to study his face maybe he was joking, but no he wasn't.

"Mike, what's going on, you acting strange." Shaking his head worried.

I shook my head slowly, "I can't remember anything about this morning, Jimmy." arched a brow as I was trying to remember what I was doing before Cara showed up.

Jimmy signals 'over here' with his head and we move over to the tree. "What can you remember?" He questioned with a low voice.

"I don't know Jim, but something feels so strange."

"Can you try and explain it?"

"I don't know how to." I squeezed my eyes shut in frustration, "All I know is that, when Clara came, something felt strange. It was like I was so happy one second and Clara showed up and the happiness was replaced with burden." rested my back on the tree.

"Mike, you are not making any sense. Have you been spelled? Clara is your joy, you say that all the time..." Micheal ran a disapproved stare at him, "Well, not all the time but what do you now mean?"

I breathed out deeply, "How can I be spelled when there's no one with magic on this side of the border."

"But how can you explain memory loss?
Maybe we should tell your mother."

"No, we can't." I snapped protectively.

"But why not, she's not just your mother but she's the leader of this town. Our job is to report anything strange. This is strange, you are the second smartest person I know. How can you forget everything like that."

"Second smart person?" I shoved my hands into my pocket, with my brow widened holding his gaze, unfazed. "And who is the first?"

He smirked. "Who else," raised his chin and stretched down his shirt. "Me! "
