Estacia

Chapter 8 : The obscene old man

"This is it."

Estacia  gasped.

"The hidden flower."

The area around Estacia began to gleam. However, the gleam was not radiating in all places. Rather, it appeared to form a bizarre design.

"There's no doubt..." Estacia inhaled the cabalistic smell of the shimmering particles that arose around her.

That design, as well as the mystic smell that made one wonder whether it befits a flower...

a 'magical' flower.

Estacia attempted to reach out to the particles around her, supposedly fascinated by them.

However, she withdrew her attempt when she heard a strange snicker.

The voice certainly harmonized with that of a male.

She became alert and glanced through her surroundings,

"Oh my! I didn't intend to scare you." The voice of the unknown male resonated around the cave.

"I believe the bigger coward is you. Hiding and talking rather than showing yourself. Hilarious."

Estacia let out a discontent chuckle.

After those words escaped her mouth, Estacia heard a loud laughter of the male.

"Man. You're really! Well looks like you want to see me, don't you honey?" The man said those words in a flattering tone, one that would make girls fall in love with him at first sight.

Meanwhile Estacia observed the person's voice. His voice appeared to be around that of a  middle aged man.

Suddenly, she felt something strange.

She was floating in the air. Wait. She was floating in the air!

"W-What! how am I?  Let me down! You hear me! You obscene old man!"

Then, she disappeared in thin air and the cave was quite once again.

**************

Estacia felt as if she was moving in extreme speed. Quite close to the speed of light.

She stopped moving and was laid down. However she was still shocked by the recent actions and needed some time to process them through her brain.

"Aww...calling me an old man. That is really cruel you know." 

The nerve wrecking voice of that very man who must have brought her here was heard.

"You! You definitely are obsce-wait where are you?"

"Hey! I am here!"

Estacia looked around and noticed something below her.

"A...cockroach." She said.

"What in the world is a cockroach doing here?" She said again. After all she was in a dark place filled with nothingness.

"Good. Now I can see you clearly." The cockroach spoke. The cockroach...spoke?

Estacia just looked down at the cockroach.

"Hey what's up." The cockroach continued to talk as if he had not been seen by a girl who had never seen a cockroach talk.

"The cockroach is...talking...the cockroach is talking! HAHAHA....gyaaaaaaaaaa!" Estacia screamed.

"Gyaaaaa!" The cockroach screamed as well.

Estacia didn't beat around the bush. She stepped on the cockroach (on purpose).

(A/N: I don't know why, but I pity the cockroach a little.)

"Well. The talking cockroach is dead."

Before Estacia could finish this sentence, the cockroach under her feet started to glow. 

It strangely grew in size. 

"What the-" The creature that was once a cockroach now turned into a human. It was a boy around Estacia's age. ( A/n: How old was Estacia again?)

"Get. Off. Of. Me." The boy spoke.

"Ok. Wait! Who are you! And why did you bring me here?!" Estacia started to bomb her questions and concerns.

The boy stood up. He had brilliant blonde hair and misty grey eyes.

His attire appeared to be formal like that of the nobles in the medieval England time.

The fair boy with bright red lips opened his mouth to speak...

Hello Everyone, I'm so sorry for not uploading after such a long time. Some of you may have even dropped this novel but I will continue writing it to the very end. I had exams and now I'm finally free...although I messed up my maths exams...nevermind. I don't want to cry right now. 

Anyways. Please pray that I get a decent grade and NOT fall into the average section. By the way, to all of you reading my novel, I'm really grateful.

Thank you and have a nice day. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
