Mystic (HIATUS)

Chapter 3: Part 6

Ercera's POV

I saw it, I definitely did saw it. After he looked me in the eyes, I did saw it.

I know Arjhay possesses the most perfect face. Yes, the most handsome face I ever saw in the face of the earth! More handsome than the male actors in tv he's so— wait, what am I talking about? Yes, his eyes. Oh, I know something happened.

His once round sky blue eyes became ellipse or oval, I don't know but it closely resembled the eyes of a cat.

********************************

No one's POV

After Arjhay faced Ercera, who tensed at what she saw, he quickly dashed to the direction of Irralyn and caught the violet ball she threw to Del.

All of the tables and chairs Arjhay went through scattered in different places. Since Irralyn sat far away where Arjhay sat, many tables and chairs were scattered.

"Kyaaaa!!!", Irralyn shouted as she faced Arjhay who was crouched in a corner, sniffing the ball. Many went there and was surprised at Arjhay's behavior. He suddenly looked at them and hissed at first but resumed again sniffing the ball.

"Arjhay? Are you alright?", Illiana tried to get near at Arjhay but he accidentally kicked a table as he circled the ball. The table flew to Illiana but she almost got hit after evading it.

Sief ran outside to call the nurse. Arjhay rolled to the floor and started kicking nearby things, sending them flying across the room which the students desperately evaded.

He poked the ball and started to make contented sighs, moans and strange sounds while doing it, even an unmistakable purring sound. The students tried to stop Arjhay but they can't get near to him.

Arjhay licked the ball a few times, like relishing the taste of the ball and started chewing it. He ran, still on arms and knees, around the room, while chewing the ball. He suddenly collapsed on the floor and slept while drooling.

The nurse arrived after Arjhay slept. She called her assistant who has the power of speed. After disposing off the ball on Arjhay's mouth, they transferred the sleeping form of Arjhay in the infirmary.

There, Arjhay thrashed around and fought off the assistant nurse. They tried using tranquilizers but it didn't have an effect on him. After running out of options, they left him like that for ten minutes until he slept and treated his bruises on arms. Strangely, there were no cuts or open wounds on him.

They are all confused by the sudden emergency but they can conclude one thing. He acted like a cat exposed on catnip.

Arjhay's POV

I was awaken by a continuous chatting nearby me. "Urrgghhh, my nose is so itchy!", I exclaimed, making the chatting stop. I tried scratching it but my arm became so painful after I tried to move it.

I opened my eyes, and I saw the white ceiling of a room I think is the infirmary. "Hello Arjhay!", Alfel exclaimed while waving his hands. "Uh, what happened?", I asked. Really, I don't know what happened.

"You don't know?", Jona asked. "Yes, I won't ask if I know what happened, would I?", I replied while grinning.

"Hahaha, okay...", Jona and Alfel explained what happened. I felt like I was doused with cold water as they explained what happened.

This was not the first time though. It happened back in our original house in the Central City when I was three.

Mom found me sleeping in a messy meeting room while holding a catnip-laced ball. At that time, mom prohibited all foods and objects with catnip from entering our house. Until now, like our secondary magic, we have no idea why it happened and I'm the only one who have this kind of thing.

"Anyway, is the room fixed already? Please, tell Irralyn to hide the ball or it will happen again.", I asked them.

"Yes and sure, what's the cause of it though?", Jona asked.

"The truth is, I don't know too. It just happens when I'm exposed to catnip.", I replied after sitting up, my arms limp beside me and still in pain as I move them.

The nurse entered the room. "I don't know what happened back there but I need you to take these medicines. Don't worry, there are no serious injuries, just simple bruises and you'll recover in a day or two.", she told me in a gentle and caring voice, while handing me the tray with my medicines and a glass of water.

"Thanks ma'am.", I replied. "I hope no word gets out of this matter. Can I trust you?", I asked all of them. "Yes.", they replied willingly.

"Let Arjhay have his rest, you two can leave him now.", the nurse said.

"Take care"

"Come back soon"

After they left, I took the medicine and closed my eyes as I laid my back on the pilllow to rest. "Come out there.", I said.

"Sorry, Prince Arjhay.", Mr. Jess exclaimed as he went down the tree and knelt beside the bed after entering through the window.

"Should I call our private doctors?", he suggested.

"No, I would like to stay like this for a while.", I said, relaxing in the bed.

"Understood, Prince Arjhay"

"Since you're here already, I would like you to scan the academy for any students who saw or learned what happened. Just find them and give me the results."

"Consider it done, Prince Arjhay."

"Also, I want to have an iced tea."

********************************

"Prince Arjhay, here are the witnesses.", Mr. Jess said while giving me a clipboard in our room on Thursday at lunch. Everyone fell silent at this.

"Oh, seems like all of my classmates knew, my friends, the school nurse and her assistant. But who's Jeraldine Carpinio?", I asked.

"She seems to know of that incident, Prince Arjhay."

"Hmmm. As long as she doesn't spread the info, she won't pose a threat, I hope."

"I shall take my leave then, Prince Arjhay.", he left after taking a bow.

"Sure.", I replied then sat near the silent group. "Uh, hello guys?", I told them.

"Oh, I mean... yeah. So, this is our clearance. We should pass it next week Friday.", Jona said. "Okay", I got mine and encased it in a bubble folder.

"Your arms are still not okay.", Jebrie exclaimed, noticing patches of bandages in my arm. "Yes, it still hurts. Mom even told me to go the main continent to have it checked and to see if there are internal injuries. Its too fancy! Besides, it's just a simple bruise.", I narrated, remembering the caring, shocking and exaggerated sermon to me and what to do after I told her what happened.
