Oh thankies Lectori ^^ well here's chapter 3
CHAPTER 3
THE LAST PEACEFUL DAY
The kid felt in a way he had never felt before…he wanted to tell her his feelings but his lack of confidence made him felt nervous, poor Zafiro being next to the girl he loved, wanting to confess her his feelings and not being able to speak because Crystal’s beauty made him felt speechless.
“Hey…um…what’s happening? Why are you so quiet?” the innocent girl asked “ you only said: Crystal…I, what’s next I wonder” she smiled at him.
“Um…uhh nothing Crystal…I just..” the boy replied “nothing you could understand anyway!” he said “Let’s stay here for a while okay?” he added.
Crystal looked at him “You’ve called me weird so many times but you’re the weird one!” she said while glaring at him.
Zafiro and Crystal spent hours just staring at the lake, they didn’t talk to each other for hours, Zafiro couldn’t stand it anymore so he stood up “Why have you been silent?!” he asked “You don’t want to talk to me?!”
“Hey! I’ve been waiting hours for you to say something and what! You haven’t said a word what do you want me to do?” the girl replied feeling annoyed.
“Nothing just that at least you say something!” the boy was angry, but it didn’t look like he was angry at Crystal, it seemed that he was angry at himself because of his lack of confidence and how he had almost missed the chance of telling Crystal his feelings.
“Zafiro? Why have you been acting in that way today?” Crystal said in a sweet way “you’ve never act like that before” she continued “what’s what you want to tell me?” she asked. She felt something was happening and wanted to know what was it, she was really inteligent for a girl of only five years, but on the other hand she was innocent too.
“Crystal…I…I want to tell you that—“ he wanted to continue but the sound of people screaming made him stop “Huh? What’s with all that shouting?” he asked.
“I don’t know…let’s go back to the village and see what’s happening.
♠-----------------------------------------------------♠-----------------------------------------------------♠
The once peaceful ‘Rising Sun’ was being destroyed by a terrible fire, flames where all over the village and it was like a strange force was attacking every person at the village, not even letting them escape from their houses.
The Cadiz were dying, every single one of them. When both kids arrived there, they saw how their home was on fire and how all their friends and family die, they continued walking and started searching for their parents, though…they felt like they would never see their parents again.
Crystal saw her parents on the ground, bleeding and almost dead “Mom! Dad!” she screamed and ran up to them “Crystal…leave this place please…you must survive!” Lord Yue said “there’s no end to this, at least I want to know that a memember of my family is going to be alive after I’m dead” he said.
“You can’t be saying that! Dad!” she cried, then she heard someone coming “Zafiro?”
Zafiro was crying “Crystal…my parents are dead…” he said “but they told me to protect you and to give you this” he said while he was showing her a flower made of crystal “Mom said that your mother had given it to her so that—“ he couldn’t say anything more.
“That’s from my mom! Oh thanks Zafiro..but my parents” she looked at the floor, “I can’t leave them!” she shouted but when she turned to see her parents they didn’t move…they have already died “NO!!” she fell on her knees and cried like she had never done before “this can’t be…” she said then fainted.
“Crystal! Hey wake up! We have to get out of here quick!” Zafiro keep shouting but there wasn’t a respose.
“Crystal no! you can’t do this to me!” the boy yelled, tears were running down his cheeks, a feeling of pain stroke his heart. His parents, his friends, everyone in the village had perished and his beloved Crystal was unconcious.
Just then the figure of a woman appeaed in fron of the kids “The last two survivors of the Cadiz, two kids…now should I kill you?” she said with a threatening voice.
“You! Are you the one who did this?!” the boy inquired “Show yourself!” he demanded.
The woman nodded “Kid, you shouldn’t act like that” she replied “Don’t you see that I can kill you and that girl over there if I wanted to?” she added and started to walk towards Zafiro.
The boy was confused, annoyed and enraged; he had never felt that way before, only thing he did was to hug Crystal tight as a sign he wanted to protect her at all cost. He looked at the woman and asked “What is what you want?!”
The woman stopped walking and remained in the shadows so that the boy couldn’t see her face “The crystals that you and that girl have” she answered and with a smirk on her face she said “So that I can take over the world that those reckless humans live in and…to force it to reach their Apocalypse sooner than it should be!”
The kid was speechless, he didn’t know why someone would want to use the power of their crystals in the wrong way. He only stared at the figure of the woman.
The womans was tire of waiting for the kid to say something “So? Are you giving me your crystals?” she asked.
Zafiro stood up “Not even if you kill me!” he answered “I’ll portect them, they’re the only thing that’s left from my family. I’ll protect Crystal with my life as well!” he shouted, although he knew he didn’t stand a chance against the woman, he charged towards her.
The woman laughed and evaded the little kid “I must say…that you got guts Zafiro” she said as she appeared behing the kid “I’ll let you and Crystal live, perhaps in some years both of you are going to have incredible powers that might be helpful” those were her last words before dissapearing.
Zafiro couldn’t managed to see her face “work for her? Not even if I’m tortuted!” he yelled.
Just then he heard that Crystal was awaking “Crystal!” he shouted and ran up to her “Are you alright?” he asked.
Crystal hugged him and started crying “I’m…alright…I just don’t want to be here anymore!” the desperated girl said “Let’s get out of here, please Zafiro please!” she couldn’t stand to be in that place for longer. Her peaceful childhood days in her home were over, her village wa destroyed it was almost impossible to stay there a minute more.
Zafiro hugged her tight “Don’t worry Crystal…we won’t stay here” the boy sweetly said “I’m with you…I’ll protect you from now on…I’m never going to leave you…that…I promise that to you” he promised that to her and he knew he was never going to break that promise.
Both kids looked around trying to find a way out of the village, they searched and searched until they found a way to get out of that place full of memories. The ‘exit’ lead to a forest, it looked so dark and deep. The children only stared at each other, they didn’t have a choice but to spent the night under that cold and sad sky.
