Through a New World

chap 5

2 weeks later....

Reading the morning paper for Yuna, Kael could feel her surprise at the news that the government finally discovered that people can perform fantasy like abilities.

" They discovered it fast huh. "

" It appears a person named Goh Gunhee kick-started this. "

This time he could feel her amusement as her lips stretched out into a smile.

" Then I hope they continue progressing. "

Her smile said otherwise. Somehow this sadistic Yuna brought shivers down Kael's spine as he himself grinned.

'I hope they continue amusing my lady.'

The rain was pouring hard while the sun was still out. It was both cold and hot at the same time as Yuna tried to ignore the raging sounds of thunder. Thunder brings back memories she would rather forget. Yuna reached out to touch her covered eyes and are once again grateful she couldn't see.

Perhaps losing her sight was not a curse for her. She always hated how she had to see how her father beat her mother. Maybe that was one reason she felt nothing when she decided to end his life. It was so easy.

He was sleeping on the couch and the TV was so loud. It was so loud that it even rivalled the pouring rain outside. Beside him were empty bottles of alcohol and the air smelled of cigarettes.

She could remember the loud thunder and the flashes of lightning. She could remember how tightly she held the rope and how her hands shivered. She wasn't sure if it were because of fear or anticipation. Her first kill still haunted her till today.

“ My lady? ”

The brief sound of a cup placed before her and the smell of chamomile. Yuna pursed her lips and willed the memories away. She wasn't the weak child from before.

“ Is everything alright? ”

Yes, she wasn't the weak child from before.

“ Nothing could be more than perfect. ”

She has Kael now.
