In the middle of the ground floor we are lying near to each other.Linda makes noises from her mouth.I can't sleep because of that.So..I started to watch the sky above through a large window on the first floor.
Moon is full tonight, but the clouds make sure to cover its light.
Bats are roaming everywhere in the sky. As usual, they come to life after darkness spreads
13th month strategy came to my mind after watching the moon.
An abandoned month of the history.Abandoned, but still it exists.Silently, it looks at the mess, all without being a part of it.
Linda and I both were born on that 13th month.According to the birth records of our kingdom it's a deep secret and should not be revealed to anyone. Authorities simply let me roam around the library because they thought I had no literacy. So,I acted like a fool to fulfill my own mission. I read those things during the midnight cleaning sessions.
The abandoned month is the birth month of special creatures.I don't mean physically; I mean in overall character. I, the lonely wolf, am a royal princess, yet just a cleaner of my kingdom. Linda is the baby of a battlefield horse, yet she is afraid and cowardly around everyone.
"No..no...I didn't mean you are a coward..sigh..! I mean what others think..okay..?"
I slowly touched my head because Linda pulled my hair from her mouth.
"See..I only have a short hair and you're trying to pull it when you're angry. Girl, I am going to cut your tail, okay? Ahh..that's right. Don't let me motivate myself to do it."
She stepped back, but creepy sounds from the floor above splashed all over the palace. The moon was covered by a huge,majestic cloud attack.My lungs filled with a sudden iced-cool atmosphere. Shadows started to roam outside, and they reflected from the windows.I covered Linda's ears.
My eyes twisted and my legs are numb right now.Linda stays still, and I can feel her heartbeat. The only warmth is coming from Linda's masculine body. Footsteps are roaming inside the palace. Creepy laughing and coughing sounds blend well anyway.
"Is this an elders' home? Hey,are you sick ? I know..I know medical expenses aren't that affordable nowadays,but please make sure to take care of your health,okay?"
That sounds stopped suddenly.But the pumping of iced-cool air wasn't over yet.My face felt cool fingers touch it all over. I closed my eyes in case this invisible motherfucker pulled it out.
Linda kicked towards the space and the sensation of cold fingers stopped. I knocked her with my elbow to thank her. My throat was dry, and I couldn't talk .
I slowly wave my legs until the numbness went away.
The lamentation of a creepy tone started to sing again their musical.At that moment, I turned my neck and looked at Linda's face. Oh no..she is not my Linda. That aggressive look is not cute as before. It's not a great loss if sky hasn't any stars when your horse has eyes which are twinkling better than those so-called stars.Now I feel the scary feeling.
Linda looked at me with her twinkling eyes and licked my cheeks, just like before. I exhaled peacefully and leaned back on her. Linda make playful noises from her mouth. Nice try..Ghost is crying there. I can totally understand that invisible brat because I was also surprised by Linda.
The normalcy only lasted a moment.
"I know about the 13th month..!!"
A cold whisper echoes in the silence,not from the floor above,but the right beside my ear.
Linda tried to kick again but I forcefully stopped her leg from moving.
Here we go again. This is going to be a royal negotiotion, just like my father's with his siblings. They are talented at twisting lies to sound like the truth. Funny, that thing is going to happen to me right now. Am I a joke ?
Let me sit up properly anyway..
"Linda! hold my hand!"
I shouted with my royal voice,a voice I hadn't used in 18 years. My throat was like a cracked sound system from disuse. Still I cleared my throat with a deep cough,and glared with angry eyes.
