Chapter 2 ~ Illustrations (Part 2)

*Whirrrr*

Round and round the toy spun.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a spinning toy mobile that was hanging on the ceiling.

*sigh*
(._.)

A sign couldn't help but escape my lips. The reality came crashing down on me.

"Hiyu."

Of course I had no intention to make such a cute baby sound.

My 1 year-old body had its limits and had no way for my to fully express and vent my frustrations.
｡ﾟ(ﾟ'Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

I struggled to raise my arms. Very small and delicate hands came into my view.

Why is this happening to me?

I questioned and questioned but no answer came into my mind.

Just why, why, WHY?

Well I actually knew the answer.

It was Lucas, that child was the one who had betrayed me.

Ugh. Instead of teeth, all I had were gums and which I clenched tightly.

I, who had lived for over 300 years, and was the only witch in the continent. I was powerful enough to destroy a country with a flick of a finger, but I wasn't really interested in doing so. Because I don't like humans.

It was disgusting enough to have contact with humans, so why would I go out of my way to so kill them? It would just be a waste of power, energy and mana.

So that was why I lived secludedly in the mountains where no humans would come near and bother me.

Rumors had also spread around the human countries about a witch who lived there so that also warded off the humans.

I never left that place, so I never ran into humans. There, I lived comfortably.

Until one day, Lucas— the youngest prince of the Kingdom of Karel — stumbled across my path.

He, who was being chased by assassins, had half climbed half dragged himself up the mountain range to where I was and found me. That was when he knelt on his knees and begged me:

"Please save me! Please, please please! I beg you......"

Thinking back now, I really shouldn't have saved him.

Again, I really hate humans.

But back then, it was as if something had possessed me, I recklessly did what he said... it had seemed like, I had fallen in love with him at first sight.

So I saved him and followed Lucas back to the King of Karel.

Did my nosy ass leave it like that? No. I had watched his back and made him Crown Prince and finally propped him up on the throne.
( T_T)＼(^-^ )

(A/N: Talk about UNGRATEFUL......)

On that night when I thought that he would propose to me, he said:

"Alena, I am going to follow exactly what you taught me."

That night, he knelt on one knee and seemed to worship me.

That night, he never took out a ring or said the words I wanted to hear.

But what instead he told me:

"You taught me to remove everything that could possibly harm me or betray me. This is why I'm doing what I need to do."

A sword suddenly pierced my stomach.

"Why?"

I had stuttered out. But there was never an answer to my last words.

I, the great Fire Witch had breathed my last breathe, and had no answer from the one I had loved and also had a pathetic last word.

I was killed by him.

......

Hah......

But fortunately my Mana Nucleus which contained my spirit was undamaged so my soul had barely escaped.

I then wandered around the boundaries between the living and the dead— or it could just be called the spirit world—for 10 years, gathering my energy just for the moment where I could regain my powers and resurrect.

But then nearing the end of my 10 years mark, I had felt an unknown force which had dragged me towards this body.

Somehow I had managed to reincarnate into this 1 year-old's body. Well I'm the first place, this body was empty and had no soul.

It was basically a lump of flesh and bones.
ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

If there was no soul, the body will die.

The force had pulled me with all its might and I couldn't resist it AT. ALL.

No matter what, I don't what to live as a HUMAN of all things!

I have said it many times and many more: I. Really. Hate. This.

Aargh!!!

I'm so goddam angry. It's alright... deep breathes... aargh, no I'm still fucking mad!

No. Think positive.

I can do it.

I can live as a h-human.

I'm an optimistic witch.

I tried to change my thoughts.

If this body hadn't pulled me in, who knows how long I might have had to wander around— on top of my decade there— in the spirit world.

Ten years was a long time for humans.

A long time for the one who betrayed me, Lucas.

Well thanks to being reborn, maybe I could take my revenge faster?

'A fast and accurate revenge.' Wasn't that my motto?

I must kill Lucas in return to his 'favor'.

But currently, I can't.

I bit down on my gums. (well I couldn't bite down on my teeth since I HAVE NONE)

First......

I need to grow up

"Ooh Woong"

Oh, and be able to actually talk and voice out my thoughts.
