Dear Mocha

✔️ 第9章

The meeting time had arrived and the duo were on their way to meet the guardian and Hayen.

The sky was still dark, and the floor was still wet after the rain which occured for two hours. Cupi was pretty wet from having to sleep under the rain.

Mocha on the other hand was energized even though she only slept four hours that day. Her legs urged her to move. She was desperate to save Kae, he was her friend after all. He was the closest person to Cupi. She knew that very well.

The two made it down the central of the reigon, watching how quiet the place currently is. According to Hayen, the place would be busy by eight in the morning.

Cupi and Mocha reached the alley, her eyes haunted at the memories she've made in that alley two days ago.

Even though it was just two days, the amount of events occured seemed to be in weeks timezone. The girl couldn't correspond to it all.

Her head was rolling, and she was frozen in place. Just as she was about to move, a hand harshly held her.

She jerked her body to face the person, to only be met with Hayen. His eyes stared into her's. r
Red to brown.

Mocha bit her lip, feeling anxious. The guardian appeared behind him, scanning the area they were in right now.

"This is the crime scene?" He asked, stepping up. Cupi nodded, iching to talk to him about what happened.

The guardian listened closely as she spoke with him, and Mocha turned to the boy who was slightly shorter than her.

"What was that for?" She muttered, slapping his hand off her wrist. Hayen smiled, stepping back. He had a toothy grin on, as he believed he successfully jumpscared her.

"Scared you, didn't I?" He asked, looking up at the taller female. She nodded slowly, admitting in defeat. Only then she snapped at him, annoyed of how he made her more nervous. She wouldn't like that at all!

"You're dead for that."

"I'm already dead."

"What?"

★

A helpless body rested on the cold checkered floor, chained up compeletly with chains disallowing him from using his powers.

He has been knocked out for a while. Two days since the incident and he didn't do as much as moving. His dreams were blank. He was standing in a pitch black space for two days inside of his mind.

Just then, Kae's eyes snapped open as he immediately sat up, exhaling loudly. He held his hand up at his forehead, rubbing the area as to check that he's alive.

Jus what happened?

He can only remember walking deep into the alley, attracted to something... someone. As he inched closer, she became clearer.

He saw his mother, calling for help. His body immediately gave in, and ran to rescue her. His mind couldn't accept seeing her suffer and feel pain.

She was dead because of this stupid kingdom. Wind refugees were never welcomed here realistically. They were technically Kingdomless at the moment.

Once he arrived to the supposed end of the alleyway, he was met with the shadow of a woman, and shortly was greeted by a punch to the gut, sending his senses to outer space.

The kidnappers had taken him away from everyone. Kae even wondered if both of them were okay. It was Mocha's fault that all of this is happening.

The male's face was crumbling into a confused state. Kae ruffled his hair as he tried to remember anything about the woman who knocked him out cold.

There's no way that a punch could cause him to black out.. unless it was an elemental technique infused with physical combat.

"Your name is Kae, right?"

★

They spent the next few hours inspecting the alley way, walking deep into it until they reached the other side. It wasn't how Mocha and Cupi described it. It was more normal. The duo was visibly confused, and Hayen suggested it was a spell.

A spell the kidnapper used to hallucinate them so they can take Kae easily, but why did they want Kae in the first place?

What would strong Azure Academy students want from a weak and annoying teen? That's the main question here right now.

They walked down the main court yard of the kingdom, thinking of ways to save him and meeting some of the guardian's fans.

Mocha's thoughts weren't thinking of ways to save Kae though. They were thinking of how bueatiful the kingdom was.

It was full of poppy plants, tulips and sunflower, as well as Marygold is the national color, and Lions being the national animal. The four stood by a fountain which showed the King of the kingdom, King Oscar. Holding a royale stick of some sort.

She stared at the statue, hope slowly sweeping away. But she can't give up just yet — they were still at the beginning to save Kae.

Remembering what Hayen said earlier, she jerked her body towards the boy which was resting onto a lampost near by.

Cupi interrupted her numerous odd thoughts, proclaiming a procedure to save Kae, which hopefully had getting the scholarship to Azure Academy.

"I have a plan to find the kidnapper!" Cupi says, clapping her hands. Hayen hears and joins them soon after. Interested.

The guardian raises his brows, before nodding for her to continue. "They attend Azure Academy right?" She asks.

Mocha nods, inching closer, interest perking up. Cupi then continues what she was saying before. A smile plastered on her face.

"We can apply for the scholarship," She continued, her fingers moving from Mocha to her in a slo-mo way.

"The entrance exam is two months, it's enough time to get ready. We can apply and get in to find them."

Hayen beams gleefully at the idea, he thinks it's a good one. He turns to the guardian who was stroking his chin.

The guardian soon came to a conclusion, nothing but hatred and anger in his eyes. He looked at them, before giving in his thoughts. Cupi and Mocha behind their backs crossed their fingers, squeezing their eyes shut, scared of what the outcome would be.
