Chapter 57

"He just made me do a lot, okay? I would have asked for your help earlier" I teased as the four of them frowned and gave various comments.
"It's a good thing you didn't call us"
"I've done a lot before"
"I'm too lazy to sweep here, you'll still ask for help"
"It's okay."
When Courtney said 'It's okay' the three immediately threw a pillow. Courtney is really good and nothing was avoided. Party all over. Psh.
I was even happy that it was stoned, so they got up again and I sighed again.
"You're not numb anymore Courtney"
"I hope it's just you"
I frowned at what I heard from Emerald.
Sana ol? What's that?
With each passing hour and day, I became more and more tense and nervous.
It's only been a few days, and I'm still not sure if Leader Lunox actually agreed to my plan. Anytime, he can changed his mind and stuck to his own plan. The War.
I sighed as I sat one of the bench. There are many scattered creatures like me. They walk, run or wherever they go.
Even if they don't say it, I can see in their actions and eyes that they are still nervous.
I sighed again and leaned back on the bench. Where is Crush? Yesterday I still couldn't find him. Missing his presence.
I remembered when we first met. Our first encounter. I smiled. I will never forget that memory.
On how he spoke with me using his baritone voice. Her curly hair. His smiles, his corny lines and sweet gestures. I missed him, already.
I just woke up suddenly remembering what was on my neck. It's annoying because it can't be removed. How many times have I scrubbed, soaped and whatnot, still can't get rid of it. Is it like a curse, like ..... a mark.
Suddenly my eyes rolled at the realization. Geez! First, he's my mate. But I don"t know what kind of mate — then, he left me with kissmarks. The book I read says that the only ones who make it are vampires ....
If so ..... what the ... No way!
Vampires had many mates and horny! Add to that that they are possessive if they loose their patience. I cannot!
"What's with the grumpy face?"
"I can't ....." I almost whispered and patted my leg.
I felt him sit next to me. What is the problem with this gumiho?
"Hey. You okay? It's like the sky fell on you" I immediately turned to him and looked at him. Just laugh it off
Fortunately, I have a turtle neck with long sleeves that I am wearing now paired with pants and boots. Not too cold anymore but still no sun.
"What are you doing here, Stan? If you're just going to make a mess and what comes out of your mouth is useless, better leave." I confronted him and stared at him.
"You're harsh! You don't get along with Ara--."
"Because I'm not Ara! Will you stop there, Stan ?! Go find your living Ara!" my steady repulsion here that he sniffed. Instead of leaving, he leaned back on the bench and quartered. Hayst!
"You're mean to me! But not to your mate!" it seemed to be moaning so I kicked him.
"Aray!" he moaned.
"Shut your mouth, Nine tailed gumiho! I might not be able to stop and turn to ice!" annoyed I said this. He just stared at me and jumped to his feet.
"Attitude you, ghorl ?! I hope you break your boyfriend's mouth! Hmmmpp!" he said calmly and left my eyes widening. Bw*sit that!
I took a deep breath and calmed myself. Where are the four? He said he would just take something but he didn't come back and left me here. Psh!
"Devy, devy, devy!" I looked behind me to hear someone shouting my name. The strength of its shout then grabbed the attention of the students.
He was already holding the crown and quickly sat down next to me while panting.
Another bw*sit.
"What's up? Aren't you still breaking Crush? My chicken is waiting oh!" maktol its opening. Meet my eyebrow at his intro.
"You want to be the first to pass away on the surface world, Rein?" annoyed I asked. He smiled mischievously and placed his crown on his head and folded his arms.
"Just in case, Devon. You know, Shawn Aaron is willing to wait. You're not Crush's thing ---."
"Because we're human, Rein" was my blank answer and he laughed out loud. This one is really shameless.
"Nice one, Devy! Your joke is for sale to me hahaha" I frowned at his words.
"When else am I joking, Rein?" I have a serious question here. He faked a laugh and stood up.
"Hehe, I told you, princess of the snatcher of I.D. I'm leaving, because you don't have Crush-ng bayan." before I could even catch him, it was already running away.
Early morning, bw*sit bw*sit my day! What's wrong with Crush and they really don't want him ?!
They don't have a pake there anymore! Psh!
Even though I couldn't move on from Stan and Rein's annoyances, Shawn appeared in front of me with his famous grin that was always posted on his lips when I looked at him.
"If you have nothing sensible to say, prince of grin, Please, get out of my sight." weighing my words.
"Pissed, eh? They're just advicing you. You're too much affected." it was still teasing so I stared at him.
I just averted my eyes from him and took a deep breath to calm myself.
"Aren't we really Crush's thing?" making sure I asked him.
"I admit. You have chemistry, have sparks, and loved. But lack of trust."
I frowned. "You also don't agree with our relationship."
"Because princess, you have a mate. Open your eyes on reality. You can be considered smart but b* b* in love." his answer was sarcastic so I hit him.
Look who's talking. Psh!
"I'm sorry, prince! And it looks like you're still bothered by my relationship with Crush. Support! That's all I want to hear eh" I said irritably.
He stood up and turned around then grinned foolishly. "You want my support for your relationship?"
"Yes."
"I'll only support you when you're your mate"
"Sadly, there"s no we "" I quickly reply. His grin widened even more.
"Okay. If that's what you say" was its meaningful response.
"Wait!" I prevented him from properly leaving. The silly grin was still on his lips.
"G-I just want to know ..... Uhm ..... do you know .... who my mate is?" I doubtfully asked.
It nodded as my face lit up. "Really ?!"
"Yeah. It's ..... me"
I raised an eyebrow at his useless answer. It laughed at my reaction.
"Be serious, Shawn. Do you like me?" I asked directly as he stopped laughing and stared at me.
"I used to like you .... before" I breathed a sigh of relief at his answer.
"I'm already breastfeeding someone else." he added as I nodded.
"I just want to clarify. I don't want anyone to add more." ngiwi kong saad. It just grinned and turned its back on me.
I thought he was leaving but it still left words on my forehead.
"I never ... ever saw and met your mate, Devy. I just find out when I saw some 'red thing' on your right hand pulse. And then, I monitored you, to caught who's guarding and watching you-though I feel it. But I failed, your mate is wise. I liked him as your lover. "
Length of his sentences. It's refreshing.
He left me completely and fell into deep thought. He didn't know my mate but he knew that because he could see it on my wrist. I didn't look at it on my own and noticed that it was more colorful. Back to normal red.
I remember what I did with Leader Lunox's sword. I cut only the tip of its blade without using my power.
Couldn't that magic come from my mate? Suddenly what I had read entered my mind.
'Once their mate marked their' destined mates', their will be more possible combining. Examples are magics, stronger senses, communicating, tracing, senses of smelling and hearing, instincts, souls, etc. '
'Mostly mates are possessives, obsess, aggressives and temperamental.'
'Mates like Vampire's marks don't vanished and stay forever.'
Only one stuck in my mind.
Vampire really, my mate. Hayst.
2 Days left before the war.
I just came out of the bathroom to take a shower but there was still no sign of four.
Emerald was not here.
Heaven was nowhere to be found.
I can't see Courtney everywhere.
Savannah was lost, I thinked.
They're gone. Yesterday. When they said they would just take something, no one came back. No signs nor traces of them.
Maybe, they're just busy and I just don't really know the time? But, they haven't come home yet and their bed is still in order.
I'm worried about them. What if ....
I shake my head on my thoughts. No. Maybe they're just roaming around or just playing hide and seek?
Aishht! It's not even working!
I took a deep breath and looked wearable. I almost forgot to dress because of the depth of thought.
Maybe I'll just report it to the head and admins. They may actually have been kidnapped. But who will be kidnapped?
Leader Lunox? Hayst. I don't think so.
I wore what I got to wear and didn't care what kind of clothes it was.
I blinower my hair and braid it around then leave some strands on both sides and curl.
I also put liptint on the lips and powdered. I didn"t put the I.D. in the middle of my collar bone. I also put on a new pair of earrings. Snowflakes are still the design.
My snowflake tattoo looks like a necklace right in the middle of my collar bone.
I also got wearable footwear and chose black boots that were only ankle high.
I glanced myself at the mirror. Beautiful and gorge ---
What the ?!
I was just surprised at what I did. It's like I'm going to a formal party. With my super buoyancy, I was already wearing a long sleeve, black off shoulder dress.
I could see the kissmarks on my neck, I just patted my forehead and easily took the concealer to cover that.
It's 7:38 in the morning and I need to have breakfast before looking for my missing dormmates.
I immediately took the duplicate key and opened the door then closed it immediately and nilocked it.
I snapped my fingers to vanished the duplicate key.
"Holy Ice!" I cried out in shock when a woman I met on the rooftop stairs opened up to me.
She was smiling sweetly and wearing a floral dress that she paired with red doll shoes. She also has lipstick on her face and her rainbow-like hair is ponytailed, which makes her even more beautiful.
I frowned at him. "Do you need something?" I gently question.
"Yes. Are you Devon, right?" he asked back. I hesitated to nod.
"I'm Celestia. I just wanted to take you to the bottom of Moon Academy" he said and immediately pulled my hand towards the elevator.
Celestia .......
"Ah! Of course, Celestia-the elemental spirit, one of the major spirits. But why?" I promise. I remember him in the book I read.
She had the magic of Water, Fire, Air, Nature and Earth.
"You want to see your friends? Then come with me.But, first, you need to eat your breakfast, baby." his sweet smile was still there as if he didn't need to smile.
He hit the 1st floor and pulled me inside.
"Did you kidnapped them? What do you plan on doing to them? What do you need from me?" I asked a series of questions.
It leaned over and folded. "Just ordered." he replied still smiling.
"Can you stop smiling? It irritates me. Is 'he' the one who ordered?" I earnestly question.
He nodded for a moment and I sighed and closed my eyes tightly then looked up and looked at him.
It was staring at me and examining me. Then look at my tattoo and smile again. I accidentally raised an eyebrow at him and stared at him.
"Attitude."
Psh!
*Ting!
We immediately went straight to the dining hall for breakfast. I just hastened to eat and followed him.
"Where are we going?" I couldn"t help but ask because I was already following him all the way to the forest.
I can't trust this-Celestia, that fast. I don't even know if he is an ally or an opponent.
As far as I know so far, he knows where the four are.
"How are they, Celestia?" I asked her. He looked at me and smiled again saying they were fine.
I can't help but sighed deeply. I've been talking and asking questions before but he just smiled.
Eh if I tear his lip ?! Tsk!
We stopped at a large tree that I had just seen. It touched the bark of the tree and seemed to have taken something inside.
"Isn't it forbidden to go out on the chin ?! Did the head know this? You?"
He threw something at my gold cloth so I caught it. It's a cloak.
"No one knows. Wear that invisible cloak. So we can't be seen below when we get there." he explained.
I did not follow him but frowned at him. "Do you have another colleague there?"
"Just wear that."
He was already wearing his so I could no longer see him. I also wore mine and I only saw him there. He was doing something in the tree while holding on to it.
Until it was released and it looked like someone had opened a portal there. I was amazed at what he did.
Indeed, a major spirits.
I wonder how strong she is.
He immediately took my hand and at once entered the portal. I closed my eyes because the light came on and I was still a little dizzy.
Until I smelled something ... smoke coming from the fire.
I slowly opened my eyes and could not believe what I saw.
The Moon Academy of Newborns, were devastated.
There were still burning schools, scattered debris and flying paper burning.
"What ..... happened here?" I asked Celestia, almost whispering.
"'She' ordered us, major spirits to create chaos and ruined this academy without noticing above there. So if the councilors visit this place Frizz-Illusion spirit creates the illusion to cover these." his long explanation.
My face was confused by what he was saying. My brain is not processing events today.
"I'm confused Celestia. Can you explain everything?" I said as he nodded. We started walking again.
"We, major spirits; Me-as the Elemental spirit, Frizz- the Illusion spirit, Eros-the light spirit, Luca-the null spirit and Aos-the dark spirit. We are the rulers of Luna Paradise-home of the spirits, our home. " his introduction.
"Everything was fine at first, all the spirits were still there. Until one day, someone from the creatures of Mortal World-humans, sabotaged our home. We fought, but they used weapons that were easily overthrown by our fellow spirits. Some fled, others sacrificed. But that was not enough because there were many of them. Luna Paradise was also known as the portal from the Mortal world they called, 'Earth'. Humans are clever, they wear strange clothes to breathe in our world. We are about to overthrow them, until
'She' came and helped that half Lunaphile-half human boss. They used their strange weapons which weakened the five of us. And there we became their captives. In order not to know what happened in our home, Frizz used her Illusion to our co-spirits so as not to remember what really happened in our home. "
"You mean, those spread rumors that the leading spirits suddenly disappeared and the spirits gradually left there?" I guess he nodded.
"Why?" my next question. She sighed.
"We don't want to be involved with Lunaphiles but it's too late. He already got us. So we begged him not to spread what happened. And there he made a condition that we would help him in his war." further explanation of it.I remained silent.
"She built armies from those Lunaphiles on Underworld Pit. She killed the guards there and made UP a fortress. The people there became more rebellious and she trained. To make it more thriller, she worked here for connections."
"Councilors told us that he is taking revenge here because his father was killed," I said with a frown on his forehead.
"She never told that one. She said, she's retaliating because that's their long -standing 'plan to overthrow M.A." I frowned.
"She also told us that she doesn't have a father and mother. But she has a family." my eyes widened at what he said. What the ?!
"Are you saying the truth ?!" can't believe what I said.
We stopped walking I didn't know where we were really going. He held my two cold hands.
"I'm telling the truth, Devon. I know, it's hard to trust me, but please. Trust me-us spirits. Because we trust you." he begs. I could do nothing but take a deep breath
"I will try," I replied
"If 'he' has a family, it means they're in M.A. too. But what does it have to do with Emperor Lee?" I asked more
Its forehead furrowed. "Emperor Lee? Isn't Leader Lunox his brother?"
I nodded. "Rumors told that, that's her father." I said more.
"I think, Emperor Lee was just a cover only to worked their plan." his prediction I thought.
Papa told me that Emperor Lee's daughter run away after his father death. But the host of the war was Leader Lunox because the head of the M.A. mistakenly issued a death threat. to overthrow the Heaven Kingdom.
Wait, just the mess. It's like, a jigsaw puzzle that can't be completed completely.
And one more thing, it"s not really from M.A. nor H.K. what each receives. But it came from the 'girl' who was supposedly taking revenge.
The mess! I can't mapin point at all!
"In that case, why are Mr. and Mrs. Solaire being targeted? And I still feel sorry for them? Even my friends?" I asked again.
"Gievhone is a good keen, same with Dennis. They are both smart asses. And when they cover up the misinformation that has been gathered before, they will come up with a plan and find out the truth."
To be continued...
