Why Me?

chapter 9

Mia POV

Landed on my soft bed is such a bliss. But I can't stop thinking of what I did. Argh! I hate this feeling. The guiltyness in my heart is too much.

I don't know what to do now. Obviously I hate him but....ARGH!!! I clutch my hair so hard that my roommate came to me and ask me what's going on.

After I told her everything, she laughs at me. "Teach Victor? Man, I'd really like to see you how you will help him score top ten."

I pinced her arm and she winced with pain. "I'm serious right now. Please help me." I beg her and shook her body very hard that suddenly I feel that my body froze. "Pipe down will ya? Huh... Serves you right for being so annoying." she smirk.

Yup! She just froze me into a big ice cube. She look at me in amusement. "Yuki, get me out of here." she grab her phone and took photos of me. "Not until you say that you will clean the toilet for a month."

"What? Eww, no! Naah! Don't wanna!" I said shaking my head violently. Then she look at me and smile. Her smile was creepy actually. "Oh you don't want to? Guess I'll post this picture in the internet. And leave you in this cold cube."

She's blackmailing me! Well, yeah not blackmail but it is the same right? "Huh... Fine..." then she chuckled a bit and unfroze me. After a bit more chuckling, we started to plan what to do with Victor.

And... Honestly, I don't wanna do it.

The next day

"Victor,meet me at the park at 2.00 pm. And bring along your notebook and pencil." I said that to him and went back to my place. As I sit on the chair, I glanced a bit to Victor. Yup, he looked quite confused but what can I say? Even I am in a confuse state. Then I felt someone touch me on the shoulder. I look at my side and it was Alex.

"Hey, you ok?" he asked.
"Of course I'm ok. Why are you asking me that?" then he just stared at me. He let out a sigh. A sigh of relieve I think?
"Oh it's nothing. You look like you were on a marathon. Sweating all over."

Yes indeed. I was sweating so hard that I think I could wipe it out and formed a puddle. I just laugh at him and suddenly the teacher came in. Instantly, everything went silence. He put down his books and look at me.

"Mia, the principal wants to meet you. Now." he said. I've never seen him this stern before. I clumsily get up and went to my mom.

After knocking the door twice, I could hear a soft voice saying come in. I went inside and saw she was smiling at me. She points at a chair in front of her to indicate that I should sit down. I sat down and there was this awkward silence hang between us.

"Mia..."she broke the silence. "Y...yes..." she then stared at me.
"I have a question for you. And you have to answer it truthfully."
The look on her eyes makes me scared to disobey her words right now. So I just nod.

"You remember The Day of The Legendary Black Wing?" the moment she asked that, I looked at her puzzled. Why going through history? Is it because I'm good at history?
"Just answer me Mia." I took a deep breath and..

"On the 26th of July, The Day of The Legendary Black Wing is the day where a queen named Queen Sapphire destroyed her own kingdom just to held a sacrifice ceremony. It is said that, on that night the moon was to turn into silver and it only happened every 100 years and she would gain 10 times of power from it.

She was supposed to gather a lot of dead bodies, form them into a big circle and went inside the circle so that the moonlight will shine at her and she will have the power to control everything including the four elements. So she sent her little daughter to do the killing. Her daughter not knowing this continued killing people and brought the dead bodies to her.

But to her horror, on the day of the sacrifice, after gathering all of the dead bodies and formed a circle, she was ready to enter the circle but for some reason her daughter was in the circle." I stopped for a moment to catch my breath.

"The bearer of the power will grow a pair of wings made of black fire and its eyes will turn to red. Also, it will cause the bearer to lose control and only be concious the next day. And that is after the mass destruction.
However, there is a way to not let the bearer to lose control. That is by giving the bearer to the right person and by controlling its anger. Although it can't remove the spell but it can control it from the mass destruction."

I looked at my mother, because I felt a little strange... Why is she asking me this although she knows the story anyway? I was about to continue when she cut me off.

"So every 5 years, on the 26th of July, the legendary will come back to write another history and if it goes to the wrong hand, it will be used to destroyed humanity and even the fairies."

I don't know why but I felt some chill through my spine when she said that. The look on her eyes... They are scary! She then heave a sigh and said something weird to me.

"Mia... I have something very important to tell you." she held my hands and said...
"Well, you do remember that 26th of July is your birthday right? I know a lot of other people have their birthdays on the 26th of July but trust me, yours is special." I nodded slowly.
"Umm... How do I put it? Promise me don't be mad at me."

"Mom, just tell me already. You're making me more and more nervous." seriously, I've got a bad feeling about this.

She suddenly gripped my hand even tighter making me flinch because it's hurting me.
"Mia, I know who is Queen Sapphire's child. You want to know who is it?"

I was shocked. How come my mother knows the child? Isn't it a long story now?
"No child. That story only began 17 years ago. And the truth is you are not a 15-year-old girl. You are 20 years old now. And by that time you were only 3 years old."

I looked at her and I couldn't believe what I just heard. I'm 20?! Is that some kind of joke? I thought that was the only thing that was unbelievable to me but no... My 'mom's next word gave me such a shock that I almost fainted.

"Mia... You are the child of Queen Sapphire and it is the truth. I'm sorry Mia."
