TPT : The unPlanned Tragedy

Chapter 5

*Yawn*
Blate was awaken from her good night sleep. She then remembered that the school was not letting her in, in the midnight. Therefore, she rushed to the school again and snook inside the school. But, she was never a good sneaker.

"HA, there you are."

The security caught her act, and brought her straight to the headmaster, Mrs. Mazery who seems busy with the callings. Besides, the school wanted to have competition with many other school. Blate sat on the sofa and waited for her to finished the call.
10 minutes later, and she still blabbering on the call. Not to mention, Blate's overthought about the punishment made her anxious and uncomfortable with the situation. She wanted to leave but today wasn't her lucky day. There were no class, cause it was weekend.
'IT'S WEEKEND!!! WHY AM I HAVE TO BE LECTURED TODAY NOT ON MONDAY?' thought Blate. Also she thought about if she got a punishment, it could ruined her rep and she would get expelled. If she got expelled, she didn't know anywhere to stay. Maybe Stargazer would accepted her in. But, she didn't have enough money to fulfill her own needs. Mrs. Mazery still on calling. But when Blate got up from the seat to stretch her body, the phone was already put by Mrs. Mazery which made Blate startled by it.

"Now which one do you want to tell me first?"
"Huh?"
"Don't act stupid. I know you're snook out yesterday. Where were you? Ms. Bartle almost died because you were out of her side for a second then you were gone."

'Huh I could do better than died from a kid missing.' thought Blate not knowing that Ms. Bartle could have heart attack anytime.
Blate was quiet, she didn't know what to say.
BRAK

"Hey!! Say something. Confess your mistake to Ms. Bartle or go to the detention room! Make this paper full of your writing of " I will not sneak outside anymore".
She handed Blate a long paper. Longer than regular paper that used for tests. Blate never went to the detention room, it's dark so she didn't want to go there. There were rumours that if a student was getting in that place, they would getting tortured. Blate felt like it was a made up so student won't go there.

She walked around the school to see if Ms. Bartle was anywhere. But this time she wasn't around.
'Hmm maybe she's dying' thought Blate.
She chuckled a bit. It was an evil thought, she knew it but she couldn't help the fact that Ms. Bartle could be already dying right now. But, because of a student was missing then she was mad? Oh man, no wonder she got no child. Blate searched everywhere but she wasn't anywhere.
'Ergh this is a waste of time. My precious time.'
Blate started to get iritated, she thought of how many work she could be done right now if she didn't have to searched for Ms. Bartle. 10 minutes later, she was already tired for searching, she sat down at the bench in the school garden. Suddenly she saw a glimpse of a lady. She seems like Ms. Bartle, so she went up to her.

"Excuse me, Miss. I'm... Oh.", but it wasn't Ms. Bartle.
She was another assistant in school. Blate asked her about Mrs. Bartle's whereabouts. The assistant shook her head. All she know was Ms. Bartle was never around that day. Blate's confusion growing stronger, she began to felt guilty. Blate thanked the assistant and went upstairs to her room. She gave Blord some food, while writing something.

            Stargazer awoke just to find Blate's not beside her. She understood that Blate must went back to school. Then, she walked outside and felt hungry, moreover, she had no money. She thought about stealing again, but somehow she didn't want to go back because of the thugs, who might be there and caught her. She walked around the city. She felt weak and stopped in front of a huge tree. How long has this tree been here?

Then, something upon the branch of the oak tree in front of her attracted her. She squinted her eyes to make sure it was something not someone. Somehow, it looked like a bird. A baby bird. She guessed it was stucked or maybe lost its mother. Star wanted to aid it, so she quickly climbed the tree and tried touch the poor bird. Usually, the bird would get away, but this time the bird just stood there and let Star took it.

" Hey.. little birdie. You lost?" asked Star to the bird while holding and patting the bird gently.

The bird's fur was no ordinary fur. It was very bright like a fire with the red and orange color upon it.
'Is it a phoenix bird?' thought Star.
'No way, I gotta go back to examine it.' cheered Star.
She was very happy, she finally found a friend. She forgot about her hunger already. She ran excitedly to her home, which not a lux but she and other hobos were already used to it. It was made from some scraps from the junkyard, it smelled bad sometime but somehow Blate could hold the smell. She collected some dried leaves from scraps near the house and made a little nest. She placed the bird there and tried to heal the bird's wound. She wondered if the bird had mother.

Thus, an hour later, she checked the tree again to make sure that the bird was alone. If its had parent then she would put the bird's back. Fortunately, nothing has been on that treebranch, not even a single feather on there. Maybe this bird was from faraway and wounded while flew across the seas. But, how was a baby bird could flew that far? She didn't think that far but she felt excited that she found new friend. She stroked its head, and apparently the bird stayed on her hand. She was very happy because the bird seemed comfy. Nothing was ever stayed longer than 3 minutes near her. But, unlike Blate she lasted more than ever. Star still hoped Blate would came back and showed her this bird. Star didn't know about Blate's problem at school.

            For hours, Snow sat on a product. She didn't realize that the product was damaged because of it. The surface of the product looked more curved than the other. She didn't care about it anyway because she would got down as soon as the ship reached the land.

"Blue! don't eat that. It's poisonous. I promise I'll give you food when we get there." Snow shouted quietly

Blue jumped from one product to another, searching for food. Apparently, there was no food. Of course, the product was somekind of chemical in jerry can. Its kind was unknown, so Snow was careful not to spill any of it. She tried to catch Blue and keep it in her arm thus it would not go anywhere dangerous. She couldn't get up because the crate were so small for her. It was already a luck if she could sit up straight in it. Her spine felt sore with all the product. She crawled trying to reach the door of the crate while hugging Blue. The lock was already loose so she could got out quick and hide beside a crate. Apparently, she must sneaky because in the morning, the worker were busy working at everyside of the ship except the crate section she was on, that is why she could get out easily. She knew that every worker had powers of their own so she didn't want to be so reckless and fought them all. It felt odd for not being inside her room. Yesterday she was in her room playing with her phone and the next day, she had to survive on her own.
Suddenly, Blue acted strangely, the way its eyes caught something. They were in the middle of the ocean. One by one, the worker ran to the back of the ship. Snow was very confused of what'd happen, so she grabbed Blue and crawled back into the other crate which wasn't locked and had enough space for them both.

There were people outside mumbling about something. It seems like the leader of this ship had some kind of debt? But if it was, then why those men only spoke for gold and not debt. She suspected that they were pirates. Although, she was very curious, she must stay quiet and stay hidden so they didn't catch her and throw her to the ocean. Unfortunately, Blue was so uncomfortable of staying inside the crate. It shrugged hardly until Snow can't hold it no longer.

"Bluee!!" she whispered loudly, but Blue kept running and making noises until it got out.

Snow tried to catch Blue but she can't get out. She didn't know about Blue's condition anymore. She guessed Blue had been caught by them. She didn't want to risked her life, so she just cried and hold her mouth with her hand while heard anything from Blue. She needed to do something about Blue. The crate was smaller than the original crate they were in. Realized that there were no voices again outside, she crawled slowely to reach the opened door she used to get inside. She peeked outside, but the sight was blocked by the other crate. It was hard to see what was on the other side. She couldn't think about any other choice. Her back felt sore for arching her back for to long.

"Oh Blue, please come back.." she whispered while crouching outside the crate quietly.
