27 Chapter 24
I looked as serious as possible and hoping for the old lady to continue her foresight
She quietly stares back at me and finally said the last foresight
"Let me tell you the one's i said earlier..."
She told us seriously while she held my hand
*nod nod*
I nodded hurriedly and awaited for her telling
"First foresight i see is be careful of the Red eyed Seductress"
I gulped down my saliva to hear the Red eyed Seductress again
Everytime I hear that name my body flinched and seemed scared
"The second foresight i told you was beware of Fire"
That too....
My body did not react but remembering the grass lady's words that something Hot was approaching
Made me nervous and thought that what if the Hot and Fire were connected?
"And for the third foretelling I shall say is be careful of handling the Darkness within"
The Darkness within?
What does that even mean?
"And for the last foretelling I shall tell"
For some reason this last one makes my heart....pound so much
It did for the last 3 tellings
But this time my body reacts more differently my body starts to shiver all over again
"Young miss this last one is close, watches your every move and can be a potential danger or be your ally"
It can be my Ally?
"What is it old lady?"
Josefina asked in my place all of us were hooked
I can tell all of us were nervous and so is Cythe
"The last foretelling I see is someone young, brave, but could be a danger or an ally"
"Yes we get it now tell us, what's the hint"
Claude asked calmly but his tone of voice seemed impatient
"Watch out for the Pink Jewel"
!!
Pink Jewel?
I don't know why but my body stopped shivering
Did I just imagine it?
I thought to myself
"Now now kiddos!"
The old lady starts to push us away
"W-wait old lady?!"
Josefina shouted as she tried to push the force of the old lady
"Now now young miss I may be old but i'm stringer than I look, Now out!"
As she completely pushed us out of the door
"We paid you double old lady"
Cythe angrily said as he looked at the old lady who was by the door
My service is no longer available but if you want more foretelling go and come back with golds tomorrow!"
*Slam!*
The old lady reasoned as she slams the door infront of our faces
"Tch"
Claude could be her snapping his tongue
We all then started to walk away but I looked back to see josefina looking at the store we were kicked out in
"Ina!"
I shouted calling for her attention
Josefina then turned to look at me then nods her head and came running to me
....
....
There was still a long walk so we decided to look around
It was a good time too since there's a festival here in town
Josefina seemed excited and pulled Cythe Immediately
She then ran towards the games as she pulled Cythe with him
Cythe tries to stop her but failed to do so
They think they're the only one who can have fun?!
I can too!
It wasn't a contest but I felt I was losing!
Or maybe I was just jealous But anyways!
I looked around to around and saw the LOVE of my dreams!
Cotton Candy!
I haven't tasted those when I was Athena
But now I can taste it since cotton candy existed in this novel!
This is the only thing that I would thank Author for!
"Look Claude cotton candy!"
I shouted in excitement as i pointed at the stall the cotton candy was at
"Would you like some?"
Claude smiled at me sweetly
I looked back at him and nodded my head happily and excitedly
"I'll go get them for you"
He smiled again
And I smiled back
He then walked towards the cotton candy stall
"Hehe Claude has grown up now"
As he went further and further to where I was at
I waited for Claude to come back but he was coming back late so I decided to walk around
Until I saw the fountain and I went near it
It's a wishing fountain!
My face lit up seeing the fountain
I quickly grabbed the bag that was hidden inside my dress
And took a gold out I put my hands together and made a wish
"....."
Done!
I finished saying my wish but then Claude wasn't here yet so I decided to wait some more
And walked until I arrived at a beautiful place where there was a pond in the middle
it's quiet but there was still people around
...
"Claude is really taking his time"
As I looked down and kicked a rock into the pond
Since Claude wasn't here yet I start to think the old lady has said earlier and Grass lady mentioned
Red Seductress, Hot, Fire, Darkness within, and the Pink Jewel
I'm not sure who or what this are but when I heard the Red Seductress and the Pink Jewel
My body began to shiver
*Wooshhhhh*
?
It became silent...
Around me became silent, people started to disappear and I wasn't even aware of it
"Athyyyyy~"
Someone whispered
But this wasn't a normal whisper it was a whisper through the wind
It was like the wind was the one who's calling me
*Giggle Giggle*
?!
.W-what?!
I hear giggling from afar
I kept turning and looking for who it was calling and giggling
But there was no one except for me...
Then Dark mist then starts to cover my surroundings
"W-what is happening!"
I shouted
I covered my ears and closed my eyes and wished for all of this to be just a dream
....
....
There was silence again...
I was scared but I still looked up to see someone from the distance
I can't see her face as she was covered by the mist
"Hello?"
I asked
But she just stood there looking at me I also stood there looking at her
Her legs weren't moving!
She wasn't even walking!
An yet she slowly and slowly starts to get near me
I panicked and turned to ran the other side
*Pant Pant!*
I wasn't getting out of the mist
And it was like I wasn't even running
I looked back to see where the lady was and she still wasn't there
*Pan pant*
So i looked down and touched my knees because I was dead tired and needed air
But I noticed a dark silhouette of her feet infront of me
*Dugdug Dugdug*
My heart beat went faster and faster as I slowly look up and saw
Red eyes!
"Kyaaaaaaaaa!"
I shouted horrified by what I saw
I quickly moved a few steps away from her
"Athy it's just me ******~"
Who?
I looked at her confused but scared at the same time
"...."
She went silent
"Oh! silly me Athy doesn't remember my name"
I can see her silhouette her hand touching her face
She did not moved an inch and stood there looking at me
My vision went blurry and I became nauseous
But I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my neck..... It was like I was stabbed so hard that I would die!
It hurts!
"Athy"
Someone kept on calling for my name
Who is it?
"Athy?"
They called me again
Who?
Someone grabbed my shoulders from behind
Iquickly got scared and turned around to see who it was
!!
I then saw a Pink Jeweled eyes
"Kyaaaaaaaa"
I quickly screamed
I was horrified to see the one the old lady had predicted
"Get away from me!"
I jumped back and pushed away the hand that grabbed
"Athy!"
Someone then grabbed me from behind
My vision then quickly returned to normal
...
I looked at my back to see the one who grabbed me it was Cythe
He looked like he was panicking
He was sweating and I could head his heartbeat getting faster as he pants
"Cythe what are tou doing here?"
I asked him with my face still pale and feeling nauseous
When someone called for me
"...Athy?"
I heard a familiar voice
I then looked straight to see Claude infront of me
"Claude?"
I asked
I looked down to see 2 cotton candies on the floor
!
D-did I pushed his hand away?
Was his hand the one I pushed?
I looked back up to Claude to see his face horrified and pale face
His eyes went blank and he kept on mumbling
.....
And then slowly tears start falling down to his cheeks
"Athy..."
He said sadly
Claude?!
