Fear And Terror

26 (Confusion)

The first thought  that had come into my mind when I saw Kris climbing from the window is that I wanted to kiss him right there if I did escape from my rope.

He was dirty and he had mud on his clothes. He still had that smirk on to make him look like an asshole. He had a few bruise and cuts on his fact and voila, he looked like a hot bad guy from the movie.

I couldn’t help but stare at him.

“I told you not to come here.” Kris’ mom boomed and Kris was freaking out.

“Mom?” His voice was trembling. “Were you the person who killed the girl?”

“Oh. She doesn’t deserve to live. I told her to finish that damn girl but no.” She points at me. “ She was afraid that you might catch her.”

“Why would you want to kill her?” He stood up on the floor and looked at her with eyes which are full of guilty.

I guessed it made him a bad guy, too since his mom was the one. He accused Luhan and it was his mom who had killed the innocent girl.

“She was the one who made the three worlds go into the war and your dad was killed.” She was crying. “I couldn’t take care of you. I was weak and poor but you had this great magic. Your dad promised me to teach you some tricks when you were born but he died.” She wiped her tears and looked at me intensely. “It was all your fault.”

She took out her dagger and charged to me. I closed my mind. I knew Kris wouldn’t save me. After all, I, no, my grandmother had used the dark magic which she wasn’t supposed to, causing the war and making Kris died.  

CLANG!

Kris stopped her attack and I looked at him wide eyes. Our eyes met and you would probably thought that it was romantic moment but it was not.

His eyes were sad. I could see that he didn’t hate me but his eyes were telling me something like… I don’t know.

He looked back to his mom and said “It was her grandmother. Why would she get hurt because of her grandmother?” He screamed.

“Her grandmother is immortal and of course, her mom won’t get killed because she has this immortal mother. But she is a sham.” She repeated that sentence again which stabbed my heart like a sharp sword. “Nobody cared about her.”

I didn’t want to cry at the time. I was ashamed because of what she said. She was right. My dad never come and see me. I didn’t even know who he is.

“Well, I cared and that’s why I came to rescue her.” Kris fought back and I wanted to scream at him to stop giving me pity and chances that I did not deserve. I fought with him, didn’t listen to him, and always went against with his choices.

“She absolutely does not deserve those punishments that you are giving her.” He paused. “Mom, let her go. She is my friend.”

“How could you go against me? Did she deceive you to fight with me?”

"No." His voice cracked. You never came to see me. You planned to kill her because her grandmother caused a war. All you care about is revenge on someone who is innocent. I was raised in the Magician’s School and those are the family members that I have and you killed one of them. Now you are hurting another one. You think I would let you do that? Should I take my revenge on you for killing my one of my family members?” He screamed.

I looked at him and wished he wouldn’t go against his own mother because of me or the girl. His mom loved him like all the mother love their children.

“Fine. I won’t kill her.” She said. “But promise me that you won’t go against the Eurer, the immortal queen of deaths.”

“Are you crazy, mom? She would summon the deaths and invade all the three worlds.” He sighed.

“She would bring back your dad and we can live happily. Please, Kris. You gotta promise me or her followers would kill you.” Kris’s mom said again and her tears fell down.

“No, Mom! Dad is dead and he probably proud that you and I cared about him. But bringing him back is not right. It’s not natural.” He yelled.

“If you don’t agree with me, then I need to kill you, Kris!” The voice changes to husky voice. “Your soul is a danger to me. Your mom is my pawn. She wants to see your dad so much. That’s why she is an easy target for me.”  

“You are Eurer, aren’t you?” His grip around the sword tightened.

“Yes, smart boy! Your mom gives her body to me but she asks one chance to talk and persuade to you but I guess it doesn’t work.” Her sword appears to spear and charged at him. “I am not  healing fully yet but your mom will work for me. If you stab this sword right into this boy, you will kill your own mom. I am not her, Kris, so come here and kill your own mom!” She laughs out as she leaped around the wall to attack Kris.

She advanced with blinding speed toward him and he didn’t have time shield himself. He sidestepped and jabbed under her guard. It was a good trick but she encountered his trick. Kris’ sword skittered across the ground.

“Stop!” I yelled.

Kris’ mom or Eruer looks at me with her red eyes. I tried to buy time for Kris to get his sword but he was frozen in the spot. “Leave him alone!” I growled.

She scoffed in disbelief. “Shut your big mouth. I kind of like your grandmother because she has killed the dragons. But you will die after I killed this smart boy of yours.” She rose her spear and was ready to kill Kris.

Suddenly Woosh! The sword came and stabbed right through her stomach.

“Ahhhhh!” She winced in pain and fell down on Kris.

I looked at the door and it was the driver (remember who sent me to the school) right in front of my eyes, wearing some ancient clothes and there were armies near him.

What the hell is going on?
