TPT : The unPlanned Tragedy

Chapter 6

             Blate was writing a note about apologizing to Mrs. Bartle. She slipped the note under her door, before she went to class. As usual, she took the chair on the backside of the class. She couldn't see the whiteboards clearly in the back, but she could put on her glasses whenever she wanted to see the front. She thought about what was Stargazer doing at this hour. Mrs. Ruf with her boring subject still blabbering things. Blate was a smart student, that's why some student didn't like her. She always answered some questions, especially Math. She could understand Math better than anyone, and of course everybody always borrowed her work. They only used her for some answer and would ignored her again afterwards.

An unpleasant experience really, but atleast she didn't get any physical bully unlike any other nerds. She then remembered that Mrs. Ruf still had her sketch book. After the bell for recess rang, she talked to her.

"Excuse me, Mrs. I'm sorry but can I take back my book?" she talked nervously.
"No, wait until Wednesday.. It's your fault for not listening while I was explaining the lesson." Mrs. Ruf didn't even look Blate in the face.

She was busy checking and scoring some test paper.

"Ugh, alright.." Blate scoffed while leaving the class and headed to canteen.

'It's only two days without anything to draw, two boring ass days.' she thought.

She had a biology test tomorrow. And it's almost time for graduation. She would graduate from junior high in aproximately 2 months. That's why she couldn't go to Stargazer's place no more. She must studied for those tests. But, her mind was interupted by a question of how to make Blord got out of this school quietly. It must be a complicated journey. Maybe after she studied, she could went outside and met Stargazer. Hopefully, she's still awake at this hour. She really needed some advice and help from Star about how to sneak an animal out of this school.

"Oh good, this is too much reading."
said Blate while opening her book.

Even though she was smart, she was often overwhelmed by the thought of getting an F or getting a detention. Beside of the fear of the dention room, it was also because it's already in her nature to become the best. But she didn't really want to stand out. She would rather keep it a secret about her stress by being optimistic somehow. Therefore, this time she felt lucky that she had a friend. Well, an outside friend where she could asked about another school, cause this boarding school didn't teach high schoolers. Every student that had been graduate must leave and searched other high school. Before she met Stargazer, she always stressed about where is she going to go after she graduate.

Well, she didn't know much people and didn't even know where her parents were. Her memories were all foggy, like being blocked by something or somewhat. All she remembered was she getting dragged by the waves and arrived on an island which was ruled by her parents friend. Then, they transfered Blate to this school because of a tragedy that forced them to be isolate. It felt so unreal. But, she didn't think about it anymore as long as she already had a shelter and some food to live.

           Despite Blate's miserable life, her life was better than Stargazer's life. As a child, she was forced to work as a slave under an abusive boss. At that time, she was accompanied by her male cousin. He was like a big brother to her because they grew up together. Somehow, he made ways to help her escaped that cruel place. Unfortunately, it was impossible to get out of that place with her because he was already caught helping an escaper. She ran all the way to her current place which had been told by his brother. The hobo shelter was the safest place she ever had. However, she must searched for her own food. That's why she learned how to pickpocketing, lockpicking, and sneaking out from one house to another. That's why, she hadn't discover any of her power, she never had any time to learn her true self. She loved seeing the people working on the ships.

Beside those big and luxurious ship, there are also pirate ships. After their raid on the other land, they often brought their goods to their land and shared them, not always but it's the moment Star's waiting for. Those maybe illegal, therefore the pirates shared those loots in secret.

"Hey, don't fly to far.." Star shouted at the bird while chasing it.

The bird's squack was echoing through the whole market. She kept chasing the bird while laughing of happiness and freedom. Pushed away people, crashing fruit caskets, getting yelled by some sellers. She didn't care anymore if the thugs saw her. Cause all she needed was running carefree like this. Apparently, the phoenix was flying too far until the top of the cliff. Star didn't realized it, and at the end of the cliff, she just jumped away.

Star opened straight both of her arm to reach the bird. "GOTCHA" she caught the bird. A pair of big wings appeared on her back, carrying her weight and making her afloat. The wings was huge but also a bit invinsible with some rainbow colors on the side of the wings. She held the bird tightly in her arms. Finally, she realized that they were floating and she almost fell because she was shocked by the trees that was far under her feet. Once again, she realized that she had found her own power just like everybody else.
"Huh, who said that I'm just an ordinary girl?" she mumbled to the bird while floating slowly and tried to be steady to get back on the surface.
The foreign people that were on the cliff checking her for a second but quickly get back to their own things. In this world, it was just an ordinary scenes that people were gained their powers, it was just like gaining a talent.

            After Snow made sure that her surrounding was safe, she got on her feet while still hiding behind some stacked crates. She took her step as quickly as possible and as quiet as possible from one stack of crate to another. It was almost night so a few minutes later, she couldn't see her surrounding anymore clearly, except if she found a flashlight. But that would triggered the workers. Sometimes in her mind, she felt some kind of regret of leaving her home and just let her dad's guard took her back to the castle. But, this was her decision, she must kept going to discovered who she was. The whispers in her head were quiet since she got on this board. Maybe, she was making the right decision. When she got on the side of the ship, she checked around and got up quickly to see if they were near to a land or city. She saw a land where they wanted to get onto or maybe just to rest. A land with a big, old, and kind of abandoned? castle with a bunch of people under it, still doing their activity. She wasn't sure about the people because she must got back to her plan to save her dragon friend. However, a few minutes of crouching and getting some cramp on her leg was very worth it. There were not many worker at night, only some who still awake for checking stuffs and keeping things together. Maybe some of them were taken by the pirates.

Finally, she found the basement door or maybe it was a door to get upstairs. She had no idea. She didn't forget to check her surrounding and made sure she was safe. She stood up quick and tried to open the door. No luck. The door was too thick and it needed some code to open it. She got back into crouching pose and almost cried at the spot, she's so confused and had no where to go.
"HEY", a bright light shone at her face, she covered her face with one of her hand. She got caught by a worker that doing a routine check on the entire ship.
