To Touch The Blue Sky [COMPLETED]

Chapter 7: Things Happen For A Reason

"The night sky is actually silent than what we might think." She now says in a fair tone voice.

"Yeah, like the night is also asleep until the sun wakes it." I smile and turn to her. Her face is now pale from engraving all the emotions just recently but I bet she's now okay. I can feel her heart beat normally and softly like how she had been lovely raised by her great royal parents. But now she's finding a place where she can find strength to overpower and battle with this King Caraspian. I feel like this must be hard for her to deal the huge battle seeing her find a solution and fight with him alone. I mean I never underestimate her capabilities but imagining this traitor Caraspian who is more overpowering and has now control the masses can be really hard to take back the kingdom.

"I still can't imagine how all these things happened to me. To my father and mother. They were great and had a good heart for our kingdom. They did everything for the good of the people. But..." She cuts off. She takes her breath instead of letting out her tears again.

"Things happen for a reason. I know, words mean nothing to you anymore if you really find yourself fallen in the hole already. But even if we don't know what we will do next, just keep moving forward." I don't know actually how to organize or arrange my thoughts just to assure her that everything will be fine. I'm not really good at talking nor giving advice. I don't know how to believe in these things happened to me either as I am still asking why I did get myself here. And it does not still sink in my head what she was saying lately that I was about to help her save the kingdom. I can't find a linchpin to connect all of these odd separate parts together. It's still total strange to me. She always dodges away from some of my questions so I decided to not dare question her just right now.

"Or it's totally my fault. If only I were not afraid enough, I would have saved them from the hands of Caraspian."

"And how were you supposed to do that? Just by yourself?" I instantly say. She turns to me as if she was bit surprised.

"I know, you're desperate to take all things back the way it was before but there are some things that we can't handle and we can't take control. If you would go back to the kingdom just by yourself, I strongly believe that it might get worse. Based on what you told me, he might be powerful really to drag down both your parents and steal the throne. You might get killed if you did things otherwise."

"And what would I do then? Waiting for nothing and get my parents killed? Which is that was what I exactly did."

"I am not saying that you would want that way, but it's better to take some time to get the best plan to take down your enemy. You can't control things to make it perfect but the best thing to do is to heal yourself from what just happened disastrously." As I take my breath lightly, we take silence for a moment. We look in the eyes each other. I find her beautiful, the way she holds her gaze towards me is so uncontrollable, I can't help myself but just stare and can't make myself escape from it. My heart beats fast right now, I feel our heart strings tied since forever as we are meant to find each other but not meant to be. I don't know, it just is.

"Ahm, I think it's time to drift in our dreams already." She chuckles, beautifully. I secretly smile. "I mean it's time to sleep, the night is so deep right now to be woken."

"Yeah I think so," I was about to get up from the grass when she instantly lays herself in the grass. "Ahm, you wouldn't get up there the tree-house?"

"If you would like to, get up there. I'm okay here. I want to feel the earth while I am drifting in my dreams."

"But it's dangerous. We might not know who would come here especially those terrific giants, they would take and eat us off guard!"

"Don't worry, George. They are as pure as butterflies,"

"What?"

"They are good, George."

"We still can't know about that."

"Good night, George."

"Ahm..." I don't know how to respond that one. I doubt if I would get up the tree-house or I will just stay here to guard her. I look around but nothing seems appearing as a threat. I get down down back on the grass and lie. I look at her back and decide to turn to the other side.

"I'll just stay here." I say. I feel her smile even though I can't see her face, I am sure she's beautiful when she pulls her lips into a smile. She just says nothing. I was about to drift when she finally says something.

"You're right though. Some things really take time but there are some we just have to let it as we can't control it. Things happen for a reason." She utters those words in a low and sweet tone of her voice. I don't know how to answer that. I just says nothing.

"Thanks, George."

"That was just nothing. I hope I could really help you. I hope someday, everything will be okay. I hope you could get strength to overcome all of this."

"So do I. I would never be alone because you're already here. You now gave me strength."

I don't know what would I say next as she said that after. What does she mean? How come I am the one who now gave her strength? I mean, who am I? As I about to think deeply about that thought, I shake off myself to erase it as I will think about that tomorrow. I just want to sleep and I'm still hoping that I will be back to our home. I just really want to see my grandma. I'm still hoping that this all is just a dream.

"Good night, Ellisse." I finally say.
