A Book And A Mirror

chapter 9 One Sided Fight

"I told you to stop, why did you keep bad mouthing Oksu?"

"Because he pushed you- oach"

"Don't move, until I treat you!"

Ridshard was treating my face, after what did this dog Oksu do to me!.

"Ok, done. don't touch your face, okay?"

"...'Kay..."

"So, I'm going now. get some rest. it's midnight."

Ridshard rose from his sit, got to the door and grabbed the handle. hearing him sighing, and looking at me with those sad eyes, made me try to smile at him, maybe I can comfort him.

"Oach! ahh, that really do hurt"

Ridshard smiled with sadness, and said,

"Dont make expressions with your face, best not talk too. now, good night"

I nodded at him as a response, and he got out from the room.

I wanted to curse this dog Oksu with a loud voice, for him to hear me. but feeling pain made me realize how strong! and serious! and furious! he was.

Thinking about it, the book didn't mention those two!, why?. I wonder... ahh, thinking about that made me sleep for the rest of the night.
***
*Thump thump thump*

This strong thumping forced me to wake up with terrified face, and turn my head fast towards the door.

The door opened with full strength, making me close my eyes in fear. the door were going to break because of this strong bump...

I felt hands lifting up my face, and I opened my eyes to see Sullivan...???, what the?. how did he get here?. he need one more 24 hours to come back so... how?.

Sullivan dropped his hand from my face, making me rub my chin. and him yelling at the dog Oksu, made my ears explode!.

Wait why is he yelling at Oksu in the first place?, ...oooooh so, he is angry because Oksu punched me out of nothing!. haha, service you right!.

"And you!!!"

When Sullivan turned to face me, I got surprised. hey!!!, what did I do wrong?.

"Why did you curse him?"

Aha!. so now is my turn?, 'kay then.

"He pushed Ridshard because we were having fun!"

After uttering those words, he looked like he realized something, what's wrong with him?.

"Oksu, how can you punch a kid, ha?"

???????????

Wait!, he looked at me with this face because he realized I'm a kid???. I'm really going to kill you!.

"I SAID HE CURSED ME"

Sullivan replied with expressionless face,

"Don't. Yell..."

After hearing those words, silence filled the room, even me who were angry, froze at his voice.

"Tch"

The dog Oksu got out after this, leaving me and Sullivan in the room, with Ridshard terrified standing near the door.

Sullivan waved by his hand, telling him to close the door, so Ridshard did as told.

"Even if he pushed him. sloving this matter is for adults."

"Well, grandpa didn't tell me to observe the wrong without doing anything to stand for the good"

Those words made him look at me in the eye. his eyes spread the feeling of lost. I knew those eyes, I knew that he lost feeling justice in his way to free himself, from repeating the same worlds over and over again.

His exhale were coming out with tired soul. then, he made his way to the door slowly, and opened it. before going, he turned his head towards me, and said.

"I warned you, so if you want to continue standing for the good, do so. I'm not standing in your way. but remember, I'm not falling for those low tricks of yours."

"What are you talking about?"

"We will discuss that tomorrow"

He leaved me alone, and locked the door behind him.

"(What's wrong with this psycho?)"

I did go back to sleep, forgeting everything. like hell I care?.
