Ice Heart

hallucinating?

Jea-Ha and I walked through the Town and looked at the shops, they really selled cute things here. After a while i felt something bumped into my leg from behind so I turned around, behind me was a little girl and a few feet away three other kids. As I looked closely I remembered the little girl, she was the one I saw yesterday. As the girl looked up she immediately recognized me and smiled,

„hey! Your the cat Lady from yesterday "

I kneeled down to her and smiled while I placed a hand on her head.

„ hello little lady, why in such a rush?"

„My friends and I wanted to go to the playground, you want to come with us?"

I peaked over to Jea-Ha and then looked back at the little girl

„im sorry but I already promised someone to go out with him"

The girl looked up at Jea-Ha behind me and smiled brightly

„your boyfriend can come with us too"

I coughed as I heared her say "boyfriend" and earned a chuckle from behind me

„he is just a good friend, but didn't you mother tell you not to go with strangers?"

„but your not a stranger, we already meet yesterday"

„but we don't even know our names"

„Hello I'm Rosi, I'm five years old and I love to play with my friends"

She stretched her hand out to me and I couldn't help but giggle, she was really a cute girl. I gave her my hand and then she did the same with Jea-Ha, he also grinned and gave her his hand in return.

„Hello Rosi, I'm Emi-Ri twenty-four and I like to read books"

„My name is Jea-Ha, and my favorite are beautiful. . ."

„Jea-ha please, this are still kids"

„oh please, I wasn't about to say what you think. My favorite are beautiful flowers "

The kids giggled and all came over to us

„come with us"

„we want you to play with us"

„please"

I looked up at Jea-Ha, he smiled and nod at me so I looked at the kids and smiled.

„okay we will come with you"

The kids cheered and grabbed our hands to lead us to the playground, not many other kids were there but the playground was really good. There were swings, slides, climbing contrapiton, a big sand box to build sandcastle, a big Meadow and some fountains to play in the water.

„This place is really nice"

I didn't know why but I had to think of my little brother as I watched the kids run around and play with each other

„my brother would have liked it here. . . "

I whispered more to myself but I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up, Jea-Ha looked at me with a small smile and without thinking I smiled back at him. I lost this battle against him from the beginning, but before I could think about it further I felt him pick me up in his arms and he started to chuckle.

„Hey what are you doing?"

„you said you would come and play with the kids right? So let's play "

I looked over to where the kids played and my eyes opened wide

„i dare you, let me go"

„dont tell me the Cat is afraid of water"

„Of course not but. . . "

„alright then let go"

„noooo"

Jea-Ha ignored my scream as he jumped into the air and we both landed into the fountain, the water splashed in all directions and the kids screamed in joy and laughed as they saw me sulking with crossed arms and soaked hair in my face still hanging in Jea-Ha's arms. He also laughed and set me down, just as my foot touched the ground I pushed him and he slipped and fell in the water. He looked up at me and I wiped my hair out of my face and smiled at him, I couldn't help but giggle just like the kids. I made my way out of the water and started to wring out my cloth. Suddenly it was very quiet and as I turned around

„attack"

The kids jumped at me and I fell to the ground, they started tickling me and I had trouble to defend myself. How can a few kids be so strong? I couldn't help but laugh but after a while I had to surrender and give up, as the kids started to let go of me one if them yelled.

„Big brother is hear, yeayyyy"

All kids run away and ND Jea-Ha lend me a hand so I could stand up.

„and you said I'm the cruel one, to team up with a bunch of kids that really cruel"

„maybe . . . But I learned a lot more about you today"

I looked up at him in surprise and he smiled at me warmly, I could feel heat rise in my cheeks and looked away from him. As I saw over to the kids I almost felt like someone had pulled the ground from under my feet, for a moment I felt dizzy and my body froze as I looked at the person the kids had called big brother.

„Hey, everything okay?"

Jea-Ha seemed to realize that something was wrong with me and also looked over, his eyes widen and then he looked back at me.

„you know him?"

I couldn't say anything and just nod slightly, I couldn't believe my eyes "this is impossible, it can't be true. I must be hallucinating, it can't be him. I didn't feel any aura, it be be my imagination" I thought and just like I was in a trance I slowly started to walk over to them. At some point he looked at me and our eyes meet, his eyes also widen in shock and I stopped. For a moment we just starred at each other before his shock turned into pure happiness and joy, he grinned so brightly that even the sun was dark against him.

„ . . .Emi-Ri ?. . ."
