My Fairy Boy In Another World

Chapter Six- Archery Time

''The bow and the gun works almost the same way. You must control your breathing. The moment you breathe out. The arrow should shoot out also.'' Kenneth adjust my hand position as he instruct me. He shows me a couple of times and signal me to try.

I do as he says. I breathe in as I pull the string together with the arrow. The moment I breathe out, I let go the arrow also.

Shush!

The arrow fly straight out imediately. You can feel the force leave your hand as you release the arrow. What an exciting feeling.

The short bow is obviously easier because it's shorter so your hand need no to handle so much weight but the long bow shoot further and with much more strengh.

Kenneth want me to master the long bow and the crossbow. He said after you master the long bow, the short bow will not be a problem. You just need to control your strengh. The bow that I first shoot is a short one. He said it is to let me have a first feel. And now, let the game begin.

He handed me a long bow and we begin our training. ''Did Aaron wake you up this morning?'' Kenneth ask but srill with a straight face. ''No, I wake up myself. I'm too excited for today's lesson. I keep telling myself to wake up at 6.50 am before I sleep so I wake myself up today.'' I said proudly.

''Well, that's odd. You get up by uh, hypnotising yourself?''He ask as he scratch his head. That's the first time I saw his doubting face. I nod my head. Well that's my so called 'power' I can wake up whenever I want if I keep telling myself what time I want myself to wake up before I sleep.

Back to the point.....

I streched my hand and the string with the arrow, control my breathing and let out the arrow. The arrow shoot with it force but misses the target. Wow, not even one mark. That's terrible. No, end of the world. I look at Kenneth with the side of my eyes and saw him smirking. '' Surprizingly, he did not scold me nor insult me. But he pat on my head.'' No worries kid. Everyone does this on the first time. In fact, a lot of people hit a lot far away from target'' he smiles.

I keep on practising because I cannot hit the target. Yes, I mean I hit the big target but not the red centre. I don't know how long I've practise but I do know that Aaron keep on bring in tea to keep me hydrated. My right hand  finger is now bleeding because of the friction between the skin and the string. The skin had shed a small layer down and it's really painful. Everytime I pull the string , it feels like hundreds of ants biting my wound. But practise makes perfect. So I just keep on practising but I just cannot get it right.

Kenneth walk out of the room. Is he frustrated that I can't get it right?  I can't help but think that way. 'Tuck' the door open again. This time Kenneth returns with a big pot.''Come over here.'' Kenneth said. I walk over and I smell alchohol. ''Its called white spirit. Dump your hand in it.'' I dump my hand in it and feel that the alchohol is soaking my wounded place. It hurts so much that tears just came rolling down my cheeks.

I wanted to take my hand out but Kenneth added presure to my hand make suring my wounded finger is soak. ''Always remember this tensed and sting feeling. And when next time you wanted to released the arrow. This feeling will help you.'' Kenneth said.

After getting my hands out Kenneth tell me to use the crossbow because it only hurts my finger more if I continue to use the long bow. The crossbow is more easier to use. Because of the long bow and short bow, I have find my balance and can shoot to the centre target. All I need to do now is just learn how to get this thing work. This crossbow is quite heavy. I estimate at least it weight 5kg. But I always work out to keep my body fit so it's still bearable.

After I get this whole crossbow thing done, Kenneth and I walk to the kitchen to get the first aid kit to bandage my finger. He told me that he will continue it after dinner.

With his permission, I take my bath and get ready for lunch. I turn the water to hot. The water soothe my tensed muscle cause by doing the same action too many times. I wash my hair with lemon flavour shampoo amd get change into red tank top and white shorts.

We have our lunch in the mini cinema. We watched Tarzan. Both of the boys keep complaining but I ignore their comments. No one mess with my Tarzan. Yes, my Tarzan.  Of all of the disney movie, Tarzan is my favourite. Why? Because he look so strong and body that's filled with muscle. Call me pervert but he is really my ideal type. And more, I really want to have my life in the jungle someday. And the song from the start is just so sweet and loving.

All of us were just lying on the couch, eating junk food, having our day. Aaron cellphone rang. He pick up his phone and listen. He did not say anything but 'yes' and 'understood.'

''No more sweet time Gracee. You'll be arriving Leoca World in four more days. They speed up the train so we arrived faster. You need your training now.'' Aaron look at me with eyes filled reluctant. But he still force a smile. Maybe he's just misses me right. No big deal.

We waste no time. ''So when you want to release the arrow, think of that sting and tensed feeling. You should be able to do it Grace.'' Kenneth look at me with confirmation in his eyes.

''Okay, I should be able to do this. You should be able to do this Grace.'' I told myself. I do whatever Kenneth has told me. Control my breathing, think of the tensed feeling and...

Shoot.

It hit the centre target. OMG. I'm so surprize that my mind cannot process what had happen. I literally just stand there with my mouth wide open. Aaron give me a bear hug and that brought me back from my mind.

I shoot it twice more and it all hit the centre. Oh yeah.

''Two more lesson and you'll 'graduate'. You'll be having it tomorrow. Now you need to rest your finger and let the medicine work it's magic.'' Kenneth say.

We've spent ten days on the train already. And now four more days and I will reach the world. Will I cope with the life there? Will I die like my sister? There's no point for me to think now. I'm on the train now isn't it?

We eat our dinner in the mini cinema. And we watch 'She's The Man ' again. Only now with both of the boys. We watch until who knows when. But what I know is my eye lids keep on droping and.....
