Mystical Academy: The Mystery of the World

After I felt my body paralyze it was now shaking as tears stream down from my face. I felt more than terrified that they would kill me viciously. I tried to let out a scream but small cries only let out from my mouth. I just close my eyes and cry silently waiting for someone to come into my room to help me up.

The door bangs opens, my heart flutter when there's a help came. Patrick ran to me and immediately hugged. I can now move my hands and I immediately wrapped it around him as I cry on his chest. I really tried to catch my breath but my chest is still in pain.

"Hush now… I'm here…"

"Th-they are going to kill me." I whispered on him so that nobody can hear though we are both alone in the room. He gently pushed me and scoop my face. I hold his hand to make sure that I won't ever be in those monster's hand.

"Nobody is going to touch you." He gently brushes my tears as he seek deep into my eyes. "Show me what you see…" he murmurs. I show him what I really saw and after that all I do is cry into his arms. After a few moment, there's Eliza, Marissa and Andrew inside my room. Nick came breathlessly and comfort me. They look all confused on why am I crying. But I never told them the reason. Patrick told me to tell nobody about it.

The manager of the dorm let my brothers and Nick into my room. For Andrew reasoned that I am not feeling well. He even argued to the manager that I need them and soon they will left my room when the sun rises. I know that it looks really uncomfortable when my brother is there watching me while I and Nick embracing each other.

Patrick remain sitting with cross legs thinking deep. Then he will glanced at us and mostly he do is reading Nick. I now know what his peculiarity is. He can seek into people's mind. He can't get through into people's mind. He never tell it to our parents or to anybody because he wanted to keep things secret. And if anyone knows he can read minds, they might kill him because of the secrets that he hold.

In that morning, Nick always stick to me every time. He mostly make me laugh just to lighten my mood. And I think that I love him that easily. He's not hard to love. He's a lovable man that I ever known.

"Eliza," I call when I saw her walking towards the chapel. She turn and smiles. She always go there. Does she pray a lot? What a good girl she is. "Don't be a nun." I shout out. She laughs and scoffs and mockingly shook her head. "We are going home, you should come."

"I'm alright. I need to be in our Kingdom." She told. I just nod and waves at her. Nick waves too.

We all stop when we heard a scream that comes from the chapel. It was Eliza so we all run on the chapel. We enter the main door and we saw her sitting on the floor as her whole body is trembling. My eyes totally widens when I saw Justine on the aisle lying down facing the floor on his own blood. His right hand is reaching the altar of our church where the cross is.

I run to Eliza and comfort her while Patrick, my mom and dad check Justine. Patrick looked at me and to Eliza then down on the corpse.

We are all silent while eating our dinner together with Nick and Marissa. Eliza choose to go home to be alone. I know that it is a big trauma to her. It happens to me too. After the dinner, Patrick told me that I can be alone with Nick. He's really weird while Andrew always eyed me and Nick and most of the time watching over us. If ever we make love or something.

We are on the gazebo at the back of our house watching the starry cold night. He was at my left side all silent. He move closer to me to closed the pace between us and hold my left hand and intertwine his to mine. I breathed the cold fresh wind as it passes through us.

"Nick?"

"Yes, love?"

"How come that you never fall in love?"

"I did fall in love."

"Not to me." I cleared. I felt his smile as he gently squeeze my hand. "Before you fall on me."

"My mother always told me that in our blood we have 100 percent of finding our soul mates. The love between soul mates are great and unbreakable that even death can't break us apart."

"Does that mean that your mom and dad are still in love with each other?" I asked him and peek on his face. His smiles falls into grim.

"No. My father looks really kind. He's not my mother's soul mate. My mother's soul mate dies because of my father. He's a psychopath that's all I can say. He has an extreme obsession to someone that he can never have."

"Your mother is still living with your father?"

"My mother is already dead. She choose the death over me. I can't blame her. Her death grows me stronger than before. Sure, I had been with other ladies and fool with them. But I never fall before. Being with you is extraordinary. Being with you my heart always flutters and my body wanted to jumped on you and love you. Then I thought to myself, this is love." My heart is beating so loud as my stomach flutters on what he all confess. It all sink on my mind. He really loves me. "I can't even control my mouth from saying that I love you."

"I love you too." There, it slipped off from my mouth. I said. I feel nervous on saying it. I peek on his expression. He's baffled. I immediately look away and sigh.

"Can you say it again?" he asked. I sigh again and rolled my eyes. Damn, it is really hard for me to say it.

"I love you, okay?" that I sound mad. I heard he giggles in happiness and he immediately hugged me. I wrapped my arms around his nape and we kiss lips to lips like it is first time that we ever kissed. That was a little lonely yet happy day we ever had. The death of Justine makes me feel terrified and lonely for the thought of there will be lots of death in Mystical Academy.

I went to my room while Nick is on Andrew's room. My mom enters the room and sat beside me on my bed. She took the brush on the side table and brushes my hair. She is used on brushing my hair every night when I was little. I feel like a princess.

"How have you been?" she asked me. It feels really weird.

"I guess I am fine." There's a long silence then I open up to her. "Mom, there are things going on in the Academy…" she stop brushing my hair as if she already know what I am talking about. "Paul's death now Justine's death."

"You shouldn't get curious around the academy. We don't know what we are stepping on." She told me in very low voice. "Adhiti, promise me. Whatever you saw and heard don't let them caught you."

"Mom…" I turn to her. She hugged me tight and I did hugged her back.

"I cannot lose you, my Princess." And I can't bare of losing my mom too.

Everyone are so busy on their things, while I am too busy to entertain others but our performance tonight. Walking from building to building to check everything is really exhausting. I feel so jelly now and all I wanted is to lay down on my bed and sleep.

"Here…" I look at the tumbler that he is extending to me. "I squeeze fresh orange juices for you." He smiles that makes me smile too. I took and open as I drank on the mouth of the tumbler. He caress my hair and wiped few sweat. "My poor baby, they exhaust you too much." I pouted and embrace him. "I can help around, just tell me what you need."

He is really a big help on building and making the stage glamorous. Everyone clapped their hands as he bow with his fist on his chest like a Prince. After that, I have to make myself beautiful for our performance. I was wearing a black little dress for our little play and dance. I didn't forget on putting the silver amulet that my mother gave to me. She told me that it was very special. The amulet was very beautiful that has five symbols on it.

Before the show even started, I was told by Eliza that I was called on the office of the Headmistress. I go in there but nobody is there, but I stopped when I heard voices on the secret door that I just seen. It was little open. Familiar voices is all I heard. Leona, the Headmistress and some unknown voices.

You'll be the next Headmistress on the second spring. Said the voice of the Headmistress. You have to continue building up our people. Like I am doing. I had been watching well-built males in our school that will surely passed the test.

Yes, Headmistress. My mother would be so proud of it. I know that your creation will never fail our plans. But, how about Adhiti, my heart almost stop from pumping and I hold my breath when I heard my name. Since she had heard a lot and seen a lot. She has suspicion in others death. We all know that she's curious at everything. The night that her brother's rushed into her room, she saw us.

That really makes me stop. So my dreams are all real. They are not just a dream but it means really something. That night, they are meant of killing young males for something that we don't know.

Our eyes had felt her presence though she's not really with us. She knows what we are capable of. She knows everything…

I immediately decided to go but the floor cracks and my hand had hit the vase and it scattered down the floor. I stop and glanced at the door. Heavy footsteps coming from that door are getting close to my direction. So I didn't think twice on running out the office. I run and run away but I was too away from the crowd.

I stop from running when I saw big men in black cloaks on my way to the hall where people are gathered so I turn to my left and damn, this is a way into the woods. I scream when I got tripped and when I get up I got grabbed as my mouth was covered in a disgusting cold skin. I tried to resist but the arms and hands are big and strong. I scream at the back of my throat but there's nothing.

My whole body is shaking while they are running fast with the wind taking me away. All I can do is cry and cry and get scared of my coming death. Nick… where are you? Patrick… I need you.

I was put down in a random place but still in a place with full of trees and creepy people. When I saw their faces as they pull down their hoods my eyes totally dilated and my jaw drops. They are not humans. Some of them have three eyes and some have four mouths and some have three faces. The biggest one pulls a knife from his belt.

"Please…" I cried as another heavy tear falls from my eyes and the rain hits us.

"I'm so sorry darling…" Headmistress came out from behind the big man. "You shouldn't heard everything…"

"Please… I-I promised not to tell anyone." I beg her with shaking voice.

"Of course, you won't tell anyone. Hush now, darling." Instead of feeling relief I was felt more terrified. I am not able to tell anyone about it because they are going to kill me.

The big monster stepped closer to me. I stepped back but stop when it is already a cliff. I look down and suddenly my stomach goes up into my throat. When I turn my face in front a knife was stabbed into my flesh in the middle of my lungs. That cold metallic knife is inside my flesh. So painful. So dreadful. I got choke on the rust taste blood that comes out from my mouth as I hold tight on the knife that got stabbed on me.

I feel so dead but I still got a strength to pull out the knife from me no matter how painful it is. I stare into the Headmistress's eyes and didn't break it for a few seconds. Then I gently close my eyes as my body falls down the cliff. It didn't take long for me to hit the grass. I thought that I would feel rocks and grounds but I felt that something catches me.

It was too dark. I am still conscious and slowly losing it. The rain is washing my blood. I don't want to close my eyes ever again. I don't want to fall asleep. I don't want to die.

All I thought that I was already dead, because there's a white light walking towards me. A white cloth… I immediately recognize her. She was in my dream. Why did she never leave me? I am so happy that someone will be with me.

"I won't ever let them hurt you, ever again, my Princess." Her voice hint of hatred, anger and fierce. I felt her hand gently caress my cheeks. Warm. That was warm. I feel so cold here slowly dying.
