CHAPTER 7.2: Tamed
UNEDITED
XxxxxxHOW CAN HE BE HERE? Well, let me tell you a story none or maybe few of you could ever imagine. A boy and a girl used to be best of friend but sadly, that boy sold his girl best friend for his selfishly reason which is to protect himself. They hate each other now and after all these years, a grand reunion banged them to the core. What do you think would happen?
A: they would go and greet each other like nothing happened but the invisible hatred is there and pretend that one of them doesn’t have it?
B: They could go crazy and probably kill each other off, or more likely the girl would kind of do it? Or;
C: No talky talks would ever happen and pretend that the girl ever saw the boy and vice versa?
I’d rather pick the B option, which is a cool action for the girl to do so. But! Ever since that day happened, let’s just say that the girl escaped or maybe, she finished those jerky guys or whatever, she do her ways by thinking first and other things come off later.
I stiffened as our eyes met. I glared at him which leads him aching and unmoving. If I get a hold of this power long time ago, he would never get a chance to fool me or anyone else. How nerve-wrecking it is. Imagine my poor old heart which he left crushed because of some stupid reasons only fools would dare to reason with someone important to his heart. I’m thinking that, am I not important to him? Why did he do it? Is our friendship a joke for him? Because sadly, it is not for me. I treasure him since he’s the best friend I could ever imagine. He’ll be always there when I need him, he’d give me advice and share laughter with me whenever I’m down. Although we argue a lot and we end up fighting but at the end of the day, we’re gonna be okay. Everything’s gonna be okay and I’m happy with that. Not until that day happened. When everything fell apart.I don’t know what to do but briefly after that, the emcee started the program. She asked us to sit up properly because aside from the ‘guest’ (I couldn’t contain my eyes rolling afterwards), there will be someone far more important than him. Goodness grace!
I’m unaware of my surroundings and was shocked because, why are they standing?! I couldn’t contain my laugh, silly me. Of course, what would you expect? They’re gonna stand because of their own trips or stand because that “someone far more important” is here? Or course the answer is the latter. What would you expect?
“Good Morning, ladies and gentlemen,” the emcee smiled. “We are gathered here in celebrating a century old tradition of our school! In accordance with that, let us all welcome, our very first founder, fresh from the grave, Mr. Perkins!” Is it just too odd to say some kind of words like, “fresh from the grave”, here? Well, I might reconsider that here because all things odd isn’t even odd enough in this world.
Okay. Here comes the “exciting” part. The first founder stands up and walk towards the podium. He mouthed (I don’t know if he mouthed or he spoke with the emcee) “thank you” and the emcee just smiled.
“Greetings!” he awakened our souls by just a word of introduction. “It’s been a long time that I’ve been here in this realm. I so love the fresh air, the smell of grass, the students in this place, and the marvelous wonder right before my eyes. It’s been ages since the first celebration of our known tradition here. It’s been ages and now, we’re celebrating the century old foundation right now. I’m thanking you all that you’ve come here to witness such marvelous event and without no further ado, I’m formally opening the program!” Student claps and they were quite happy with the short introduction, the very first founder just delivered. The emcee stands up and gave the founder a very warm hug half-way in the stage.
“You heard him, right?! It’s now officially open!” the emcee scanned the area. “Ms. Guills, come up here, please.” She said. This certain Ms. Guills come up the stage. I squinted my eyes to see what they are up to. I just feel like there is something going on right now and…I’m very curious about it. They say that curiosity kills the cat, but I’m not a cat. I’m just curious, but not a cat. But frankly, I want to be a cat. And I’m hoping, if ever I’ll get a sidekick, a pet or whatever, it’ll be a cat. Furless or not, I like it if it’s a cat.
“Good morning! I know you all have a thing for good morning speeches but I’m not here to deliver one. To start off the program, can we call on the Elites?” the students gone wild after hearing the last word Ms. Guills’ said. Who or what is the Elites?
A group of mix combination of girls and boys lined up to the stage. There are 4 of them. All were blessed with looks one could’ve wished for. They stands up, next to Miss Guills and bowed their head together. And then, they sit in the chairs plainly just for them in the middle part of the stage. Everyone is so silent until the four of them sits, by then, the crowd goes wild and I guess…..that’s natural? I might want to keep my coolness whenever something ‘unnatural’ lurks or even gets in my way here or whenever I encounter one.
“Okay. That’s a reaction I’m expecting from y’all!” Ms. Guills said. “Students,” she called our attention. “Please relax your body and feel the winds circulating in this very room. In order to properly do it, please follow my every instructions.” Okay! “First, you might want to clear off your minds from every thoughts you are just about to make, is making, or just made up recently.” Clear off any thoughts. Okay, that would be…hard? She allotted a five minutes off after she delivered her first instruction. “The next step is to concentrate on every single noise you’re hearing until you find the sound of the winds.” Search and locate the sound of the winds. I’m gonna need some help here. Help! Help! If only, there’d be somebody who would willingly help me. But, if it’s like a trial, I must face it, head on! Concentrate Shane, focus!
Shh..tsssshhh..
You might want to consider that as the sound of the winds. I finally heard it! Yipiee! “Relax yourself and focus. Did you find it? I may have to assume that you have found it all. I’m stepping out this time. The Winds of Shen will guide you throughout the process. May the odds be on your favor!” there’s nothing left unheard after that.
Silence.
Concentrate and ask the winds, Shane. Go!Where am I?
The winds brushed gently on my face. I’m standing on a cliff beside a tree that is older than me…..I think? Below is a town without no trace of technology. A vivid resemblance of the Kingdom of Fae. Yes, just like the sketches in the book I’ve read in the library. What am I doing here?
“Hey Little Miss, wait up!” a little kid is running towards my direction and a fairy’s flying to ………catch up to her? I wonder why “Yaaaah! You can’t catch me, even if you’re flying! Ha ha!” the little kid end up laughing and so is the fairy. Can’t they see me? I’m just here beside them! “Did you know?” the fairy asks the kid. “This is the place where your parents always come and visit. They fell in love with this place and decided to build a house near this cliff. But then,” the fairy’s about to cry. “You know what? They left a present just for you.” She smiled. It feels like, she’s talking to me. She whistled. A cat came running towards the kid, which I’m starting to think that it was me, when I was younger. But, who is this fairy? The cat is pure black in color, with a collar and a bell. She’s kind of cute. “Before they died, they entrust that cat to me and they said that when you’re capable enough to take good care of Shi, I’ll be able to give it to you. Please take good care of her. That’s the only memory of your parents.” The fairy, half-crying, hugs the kid and slowly, she’s vanishing. “I’m done with the mission you’ve given to me, brother …sister...”
“Huh? Auntie….? Where’s my auntie?” the little kid looked for her “Auntie” and later did she realized that she is gone. She started to cry as if there’s no tomorrow. The cat stays on her side and act as if it was comforting her. After several hours, the kid calmed down. “Hey Shi, do you think we’re gonna be okay?” the cat just touch its body to the kid and purred. “We’re gonna set out on a journey. We’re gonna find about everything else that happened that day. That day…..when all ends.”WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I opened my eyes and I’m feeling that something on my lap…a cat? Ow.
Oh! It is that cat! I wonder why!
Light blue and light red. Woah! What a pair of eyes.
It then purred. I can now faint.So cute!!!
