CHAPTER 12
THE WAY THINGS ARE
The bell rang advising all the kids that it was time to return to their classes and keep on with their schedule, however, even if it had just rang, Crystal didn’t return to the classroom. She was sitting under a tree at the place where her and Zafiro used to go.
‘’Tell me why…’’ her mind asked, she looked at the fountain and sighed while putting her arms around herself, feeling the wind that touched her skin, trying to find an explanation … more like .. an answer to Zafiro’s actions.
The girl sat there for some time looking at the blue sky that was above her until she felt someone touching her shoulder ‘Been looking for you’’ it was the voice of Crystal’s longtime friend Kasumi, the only person that was with her now.
The girl tuned to her ’’I’m not in the mood… for classes’’ she slowly replied.
‘Crystal… I understand how you feel.. try to forget about it? Please?’’ she only wanted to cheer up her friend but asking Crystal to forget someone that was important to her seemed really cold and was easier said than done.
Crystal looked at her friend and stood up slowly ‘’…but maybe you’re right..’’
Kasumi hugged her and took her away from that place that more than helping her was hurting Crystal instead ‘’C’mon! we gotta go’’ she told Crystal and took her to the classroom to continue with their classes.. and went on with life.
♦-----------------------------------------------------♦-----------------------------------------------------♦
Just as Crystal, Zafiro had to continue living his life, it was inevitable even if he could not see her again it was decided for him that he would always had her deep inside her heart, or so he thought.
Zafiro arrived to his new ‘home’, a big old house which looked more like a castle than a house, just by raising her hand Amethyst opened the door. For him it was nothing but a little tick but he could feel that she had terrible powers that were going to help her fulfill her plans and Zafiro was included in those plans.
‘’Home sweet home’’ Amethyst said as she walked inside her castle, the woman turned to Zafiro, who was standing at the entrance ‘’What are you waiting for?’ she asked.
‘’I just don’t want to enter…yet’’ the boy seriously replied.
Amethyst disappeared from his sight for some seconds and suddenly appeared behind him and with a threatening voice said ‘‘ Here, you’ll listen to what I said and will do things my way’’ then she placed her hands on Zafiro’s neck ‘’Or else…’’
He just bit his lip and closed his eyes ‘’Whatever you say’’
Amethyst smirked evilly and got near the youth’s face ‘’That’s it… you’ll listen to me.. or I’ll make your beloved Crystal suffer’’ the woman said.
Zafiro gasped and slowly said ‘’That.. wasn’t the deal..’’
‘’Be grateful I didn’t take her… I would have done so but she is too weak now’’ she stated, touching her long hair and staring at the boy, she couldn’t stop doing both things at that moment, she then touched Zafiro’s face softly and smirked once again ‘’Let’s wait some years..’’ she thought.
Zafiro sighed and started walking away without saying a word ‘’ 2nd floor, 4th room to the left’’ he heard the woman saying but just kept on walking.
Amethyst also walked away but in direction to the library which was all the way down the main hall ‘’ I need to let that old man know’’ she said to herself ‘’ Let’s see what he does when he finds out that I have one of the two remaining Cadiz living with me and that the legend is true’’
The woman continued walking until she was in front of an old door and opened it the same way she did with the main door, then inside the room she started looking around the place that was filled with books ‘’Must be somewhere around here..’’
‘’ Are you looking for the book that has all the information about Ygdrassil?’’
‘‘Ah.. Ophelia .. you seem to know everything.. don’t you?’’ Amethyst said and turned around to see the figure of Ophelia, a pretty mysterious girl who had purple eyes, silver hair and wore a white sleeveless dress that reached her knees.
‘’Master Amethyst, I knew I was right’’ Ophelia responded ‘ But Ygdrassil… I.. just.. ‘’ the girl said as she closed her eyes.
‘’You don’t really need to worry’’ Amethyst told the girl, she walked near Ophelia and looked straight at her eyes ‘’Ygdrassil will be yours once again’’
‘’Master Amethyst… world’s balance would..’’ Ophelia was saying but was stopped by Amethyst’s hands being placed on her cheeks.
‘You know you don’t care about it! You know you only want Ygdrassil back’’ Amethyst stated ‘’ However… you need a Cadiz to do so… this world.. or that world.. Ophelia?’’ the woman asked.
‘I… don’t really know …’’ Ophelia replied, she touched her neck softly ‘’I only want..’’ as saying this her eyes got clouded like they didn’t have life ‘’…what I’m searching for…’’
Amethyst nodded and went out of the library ‘’If.. I only knew what you want’’ she thought, she kept on walking and clapped once, that made her outfit change, she was wearing a coat that reached her knees and a skirt that wasn’t as long as the coat, was a little shorter in fact ‘’ The professor.. awaits’’ she said and faded away.
♣----------------------------------------------------♣--------------------------------------------------- ♣
Meanwhile, Ophelia went to of the library as well and made her way to the main hall, she stopped at the stairs ‘’He has arrived… who I need..’’ she started to look around, right, left, up and down. Her eyes clouded once again and something similar to a blast of wind covered her for some minutes.
‘’ … Zafiro... his name is... Zafiro’’ Ophelia said with a low voice, she then slowly opened her eyes and noticed the wind that surrounded her, her violet eyes started to shine, her voice turned deep as she said ‘’Begone!’’ that made the wind disappear.
After that, she went up the stairs, walking slowly and each step cracked whenever she stepped on them, it continued like that until she reached the last one, she seemed to be a weak person, the reason was because of the special ‘’power’’ she held insider her.
When she was already on the second floor she just fell on her knees as she said ‘’ ..close enough.. just.. some more …’’ She was running out of energy but kept on going nevertheless, she slowly walked along the hall and stopped exactly in front of Zafiro’s room ‘’… here’’
Inside the room, Zafiro was just laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, the room was beautiful, no doubt, but it felt so empty even if it was like a prince’s room he just couldn’t help but to think of the place he had left, his friends, his beloved one … he was just thinking but then .. his thoughts were cut off by a strong wind that opened the door.
The boy stood up and saw an unknown girl for him who was panting extremely hard and she seemed she was going to faint in any moment, her eyes were clouded, her silver hair was covering half her face, her white dress looked like gray instead of white. Zafiro stared at her but when he was going to stand up and help her, the girl looked straight at his eyes ‘’You… Zafiro.. your name.. is.. Zafiro.. right?’’
Zafiro ran up to her an held her so she wouldn’t fall to the ground due to her condition ‘’ Indeed it is’’ he answered as he placed his hands on her hair ‘’And.. you are?’’ he inquired.
The girl looked up and said ‘’ Ophelia.. I’ve been.. looking for you’’
‘’Me?’’ the boy replied.
Ophelia nodded and got close to his face ‘’Yes..you’’ she only stared at his eyes and sighed ‘’ just help..me’’ her fading voice said. Zafiro stared at her, oddly ‘’Help… you? How?’’ he asked, still holding her, unconsciously now ‘’..how?’’
Ophelia got even closer to his face and whispered ‘’…just be mine’’
Zafiro blinked and was going to reply to Ophelia’s words but before he could say a word she kissed him on the lips, slowly, sweetly, holding him closer to her, stroking his hair as she kissed him, her eyes clouding once again.
Zafiro was shocked, obviously, a girl he had just met was kissing out of the blue, he just took some steps back but didn’t notice he was still holding her, he tripped causing that both of them fell to the floor, however not even that made Ophelia stop kissing him she just continued, Zafiro’s eyes began to close slowly ‘’…what’s… happening .with me?’ his eyes clouded as he closed them.
‘’… From now on, Zafiro… you’re mine’’ Ophelia said, her eyes were back to normal and were staring at Zafiro, she placed her hands on Zafiro’s face and kissed him once again ‘’…forget everything..and everyone, be one with me’’
‘’…… as you… wish’’
‘’ My strength… my hope… what I need… you’’ Ophelia said as she stood up, she touched her lips softly and smiled gently ‘’ …see you.. Zafiro’’. Her purple eyes glowed and the same wind that surrounded her earlier appeared again making her fade away
‘’..Zafiro…’’
After some minutes laying on the floor, Zafiro’s eyes went back to normal, he blinked and quickly sat up looking around the room to see if Ophelia was around ‘’ …was.. it a dream?’’ he asked himself.
And touched his lips ‘’….or was it real?’’
