Chapter 9 - Chapter 9, Mystery Man

A thick silence filled the air, that was almost deafening, leaving behind an unbelievable tension that

lingered in the air which continued to grow leaving everyone frozen in place as their emotions were left in

the air and all I could feel was the onlookers' fear. Even a sharped edged blade would struggle to cut

through the tension that had managed to swallow the room whole, almost making me choke from the

sudden turn of events. The rage that had fueled me only moments ago seemed to have suddenly vanish,

leaving behind only damage, chaos and fear leaving everyone in the room to have turned into statue like

forms, perhaps they were too scared to move but yet there was no sound coming from the crowd of

onlookers almost as if none of them were breathing or maybe they were trying not to breathe too loud

just in case not to anger me. My emotions now long gone but somehow in a way my anger had managed

to have taken on a form of its own resembling something similar to a volcano that had been dormant for

so long suddenly erupted. Although it hasn't erupted in centuries it suddenly decided it couldn't help but

corrupt suddenly although it was unforeseen not warning all that could and would be affected but by the

time it started it was far too late. As my rage had started to simmer only to bubble instantly there was no

holding back it was too late to warn the victims and suddenly it roared making it known to all that they

had met their end and they could not stop the outcome, as the volcano erupted it ran boiling hot lava in a

liquid like form that ran quickly destroying everything in its path, as my anger flared and with no

hesitation only to kill a man. I had shown no mercy but as quickly as it came it went and when it went it

froze, as if somehow an Antarctic glacier had decided to freeze everything over as if there was no volcano

to ever exist and as everything froze over leaving only ice statues and snow. Yet as the glazier completely

froze everything in its path it only left an eerie chill making everything and everyone in the school to

have been frozen in place as if time had come to an abrupt halt. It was as if a ghost had possessed me, as if

someone had taken over my body or maybe it was more like i was being controlled like a puppet or maybe

it was more like i had become some sort of video game character trapped in a game and all I could do

was watch from behind my eyes while being forced to play, unable to stop myself, unable to control

myself. I was only able to watch in fear and terror as everything unfolded in front of my eyes, almost as if I

had been imprisoned in my own mind, my body went on auto pilot and my mind went on a break. Staring

into the dull purple eyes that stared back at me now unmoving and unwavering, they were completely

different than before, now they showed no emotions, no glow, no light, no vibrant colour and no life.

When only minutes ago they were showing his annoyance and when a ray of sunlight hit them I could see

a blend of vibrant purple and light violet with 2 small freckles placed on the edge of his iris in his left eye.

My body froze in place, finally looking past Garv's lifeless eyes. My hands still dug deeply within Garv's

throat as if each and every one of my fingers were an individual blade, wiggling my fingers around only to

regret my decision.A slimy feeling and thick sticky like texture sucked on my fingers like some sort of fish

sucking on the bait of a hook not seeing the hook hidden underneath and as the fish finally realised the

were already stuck. While the air filled with a gurgling sound that made my stomach churn, the sound

only grew and echoed inside my ears like a continuous ringing of a bell. Making me feel queasy and sick

like I was going to puke, As the warm blood started to run even stronger onto my fingers causing more

blood to squirt and splat onto the floor snapping me back to reality. Forcibly pulling my fingers out of

Garv's open flesh which covered my fingers and body in a beautifully glistening crimson red, and all I

could do was watch as Garv's blood continued to pour out onto me. Starting to try and process the

situation when suddenly my mind went blank only to start listening to a wet mushy sound making one

want to vomit, only to realise it was coming from Garv's open flesh as it continued to open and close . As

the blood ran out a thought popped in my head "It was quicker than his life leaving him" a cold sweat

started to burrow between my brows causing other small balls of sweat that started to drip slowly with adrip drop drip. Blood pooled onto the floor staining me in a red crimson more and more watching my

sweat splat and mix with the pool of blood becoming one. Silence still formed around me making the

sound of flooding blood and torn flesh that gurgled echo louder and louder along with my drops of sweat

with a drip drip drop. A sudden wave of dizziness started to make my brain swirl causing my stomach to

turn and flip continuously like i was on a roller coaster making me feel sick, my hands shook violently.

Finally looking down at my shaking hands to find them stained red from blood as they continuously

dripped, my breath quickly hitched and started to shorten causing a vivid pain in my chest making it

harder and harder to breath. My heart started to pound against my ribcage rapidly making me want to

spew, finally standing on my feet shakily as the ground and the crowd of onlookers spun around me, as if I

was drunk. Trying to stay up right without shaking made a bead of sweat from between my brows once

more hoping I wouldn't fall over before lurching forwards only to cough up blood right next to Garv's now

limp and lifeless body, a body I caused to look like that and be dead. Erena went from a statue frozen in

place while running her mouth only to sudden have a scared and worried face before rushing forward

towards me, My vision slowly blurring as Sal suddenly appeared in front of me, Don't come near me God

don't let her near me i tried to speak but nothing left my lips not a single sound, as sweat continued to

drip down my face. My stomach turned more and the dizziness made me feel even worse than before, I

think I need to lay down. I tried to speak and nothing left my mouth as if I'd become a mute. Sal leaned

forward softly placing her forehead on mine, closing her eyes and whispering "He put her under a pride

spell ,Siri thinks its the prideful secret, You can't kill her although i think you should but we need her for

now". Turning my back to leave not full comprehending Sal's words while watching the cafeteria start

swaying quicker "I'm sorry Princess Sunniva i've committed a crime against you and the Arc kingdom i'm

so sorry" Erenna yelled but my ears made her voice sound more like an ogre causing me to glimpse back

to see where the sound came from. Erena was bowed on the floor as my vision made everything sway,

forcing me to stop in my tracks only for an up and down movement to start causing confusion in my

head as everything swayed. Suddenly Erena had started to bang her head onto the ground while bowing

repeatedly while repeating the same line over and over "I'm truly sorry princess Sunniva i've committed a

crime" but it sounded like an ogre once more. Siri sat next to Erena with her hand placed on her right

shoulder moving it in circles while her face showed her own regret and a sudden guilt washed over me

although knowing she'd woken up didn't cause me any relief making my stomach knot and my vision only

continues to speed up the swaying more. As a loud gasp echoed my ears continued to ring louder and

suddenly an uproar of murmurs and whispers, I felt weak. I could feel the colour drain from my skin."You

you killed me" a loud Gasp shouted followed by deep breaths in and out "Would you look at that his

immortal must be a royal" Siri coughed trying to lighten the mood while pointing behind me making me

turn my head slightly to see Garv sitting upwards holding his neck. "My sister can even kill an immortal

permanently you know" Sal spat as vines slowly climbed up along my body like little worms before

intertwining and linking together covering up my breast creating a beautiful bra "Don't ever mess with

our family because next time we won't stop her" Siri laughed before kicking Erena gesturing for her to get

up. Stepping forward, forcibly making myself walk still enough feeling groggy and sick before grabbing a

whole jug of orange juice and continuing to walk to the doorway behind the buffet "Who the hell are you

3 really?" Garv yelled in an orge voice like screech "No-body you need to worry about" Siri yelled in a

similar orge tone or was it sal. My thoughts continued to wander and mix as I reached the exit to the left

next to the cafeteria, the ringing in my ears finally made a loud pop and my ears became scorching hot

and a sudden warm feeling started to follow down both sides of my neck. Touching the left side on my

neck softly as i reached half way down the corridor, only to see my fingers covered in fresh wet blood

before placing my finger back to where it was on my neck previously and dragged my finger upwards

following the trail of warm wet blood that had suddenly appeared only to reach my left ear. Pulling myhand away only to see an amount of blood that had covered my entire hand, bringing my other hand to

my left ear as my fingers touched together and started to click only to be met with silence. Pulling my

hand away and placing it in front of my right ear and placing my fingers back together once more and

clicking again but nothing, not a sound. Pulling my hand in front of my face, watching my hand as they

continuously touched and clicked and nothing, just complete silence. I couldn't hear anything and

suddenly a wave of dizziness hit me, my eyes started to close and suddenly my body became as heavy as a

truck causing me to fall back forcing me to slam back into the wall. The wall was now the only thing

helping hold me up, "What the fuck is happening" i thought unable to make a sound let alone move any

part of my body. As I took a deep breath before letting out a sigh before trying to force my eyes open only

for them to shut again as if they had been glued shut, my body's heaviness started to increase probably

from sheer exhaustion I hoped. The jug of orange juice I had been holding suddenly slipped from my

hand as if it had been covered in oil making it hard to keep in my grasp, forcing my eyes to open only to

watch the jug smash in slow motion and without a sound. The only thing that made me believe this

wasn't an illusion was that the perfect pear shaped jug was now in odd shapes and shards scattered all

over the floor and the orange juice that was once inside was flowing in all directions. Another wave of

dizziness and slowly I felt like my body was floating and the broken glass shards and puddles of orange

juice started to come closer and closer to my face. I must be falling. As my face was only a few inches

from crashing in the shapes and shards of glass I let my eyes close but suddenly I stopped . There was no

impact, no pain and suddenly I could feel a warm embrace. An endorsing scent filled my nose making me

gulp hard, as the scent became stronger unlocking a memory I had long tried to forget, as if I was taken

back to the sinner's rose forest as the scent continued to fill my nose. A bright light flashed only for a

pretty scenery of the battlefield meadow before the battle when it was full of sparkly deep blue galaxy

roses only for a flash in my mind to show Half the rose forest set a blaze while hundreds of thousands of

corpses laid still with their eyes open with arrows in every part of their bodies while flames were engulfed

all around the meadow and several soldiers on fire screaming while our kingdoms flag flew away in the

wind. The sun started to set making the sky a beautiful orange with an ominous red glow while on the

other side of the meadow stood an army that had their backs to us while one figure stood watching our

downfall, There red eyes stared into my soul, the man responsible for all of this the man who betrayed us

and the man who broke my heart and another flash a bright light came and i was back in the arms of a

man whose scent reminded me of the worst time of my life. I was too weak to fight, let alone walk "I'm

cold" I mumbled, not sure if the words even left my mouth or were spoken in my head again as everything

went black. Finally opening my eyes only to squint them shut again as the bright light hit them before

forcing them open again only for my face to scrunch up, forcing my eyes to adjust to the light that had hit

my eyes moments ago. A bright light seemed to be coming from my left causing me to look to see an open

window with an extraordinary view of a forest and in the center a lake that sparked, "You're up" a deep

raspy voice whispered ruining the silence, the view, the moment and my peace. Turning the opposite

direction to meet an intense gaze from a pair of monolid shaped eyes that were a beautiful crimson red

that sent a shiver down my spine feeling like a hundred little spiders running along my skin. There sat a

6,7ft man who was slumped forward in a navy grey armchair as if trying to make himself look smaller,

perhaps trying to look friendlier, his hands clasped together in his lap, his round lips pursed together

complementing his button nose, his black hair messy was all over the place. As he swept one hand

through his hair showing an undercut before his arms folded over each other, his left arm had a sleeve

tattoo with skulls roses and a snake sliding over it with a red lightning bolt that looked to be striking

down a tree with blackish blue sparkly petals all over the ground underneath it. As he stood a waft of the

sinner rose forest hit my nose causing me to tsk my tongue as I realised the tree on his arm is a sinner

rose tree making a bitter laugh leave my lips. Looking over his slim yet perfectly fit figure with acomplementing muscular build taking in the stranger only to look him up and down. He was wearing

black laced up army boots tucked in ripped jeans with a loose black t-shirt complementing his sleeve

tattoo. My eyes finally landed on those crimson red eyes, the same eyes of the man who I thought loved

me only to kill all my men and betray me "Fucking Bastard" I snorted softly making sure not to be heard

before turning back to the window taking in the view once more. "You can keep staring princessa" A soft

raspy whisper reply met my ears causing a shiver to run down my spine leaving goose bumps all over my

body making me want to scrub my skin until it bled to get rid of this feeling that made me feel dirty and

disgusting. Forcibly inhaling only to let out a sharp breath that felt as if it had cut my tongue, my eyes

landed on the lake in the middle of the forest watching as the light made the water shine only to see

beautiful crystals of a range of baby blue's, violet's, baby pink's, emerald green and yellow's making a

rainbow like sparkling effect. As the water started to ripple I noticed how the crystals made the water

colour change and because of the sunlight bouncing off of it. The water seemed to be pastel coloured,

making me wonder if the water was that colour or if it were the crystals. A bright flash and a roar of

laughter hit my ears slowly looking around as I stood tall to see hundreds of tents set up around a bomb

fire with thousands of men and women partying. Some dancing around the fire others making food on an

old wooden table "We are the people we are the Arc our kingdom relies on us to fight keeping the weak

safe behind closed doors we are the Arc we are the people we fight for our kingdom we fight for the

children we fight for peace" A crowd of people sang while dancing. Suddenly several large boulders flew

up and down making a beat in the dirt, the fire flickering and crackling making a melody of its own mixed

with several thumps to those who were hitting their chest. Soldier's strumming a string on their bow and

arrow's, some tapping their swords together and some clapping their hands to the beat, My body feeling

the beat swaying to the beat as a wide smile spread across my lips. "We are the people we are the Arc we

are the protectors oh oh oh we do this for our home we do this for us " I sang as the laughter roared again

as glasses banged together suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around my waist "Our land our home we are

the arc" A low voice whispered into my ear planting a kiss on my cheek than a bright Flash.
