Mystical Academy: The Mystery of the World

40 Andrew of the House of Patterson

I jolt him down as his back falls down the ground. He groaned in massive pain that I and the ground gave to him. I know, dude. It hurt a lot too when dad first used it to me. I helped him to pull up.

"Dude, you really need a lot of physical training. Not just screwing up on girls." I told Masen, Marissa's brother. He grimaced on what I said about screwing girls. I know that he screw girls a lot.

"Don't be too soft on him, Andrew." Dad told. "That is not what I taught you." How did dad managed to be aggressive in these kind of things? Masen looked terror when father said it. I told him again few basic about combat attack and defense.

After the sweaty-tiring combat training I had finally got a chance to sit under the tree and feel the breeze of the fresh wind passing through. Sometimes, I thought of my baby sister. I just wished that she's alive. I just wished that she's with Nick. Nick promised me to protect her and if ever I get in to their world and had known that she's gone, I will totally peel him off alive.

"I need to go back to the Academy. If I didn't show up they will probably questioned my absence." My brother told me. I just nod and yawns. "She's fine. I got a message that she's with Nick." I finally looked into his eyes and breathed. That was a big relief. However, some negative thoughts keeps on getting inside my head. She's still in danger though. "Every one of us are in danger, Andrew. I will go now."

Wow, my brother is really a psychic. Every one of us seems like one but to be cooler to think, we are peculiar and simply living like normal. He just sigh and about to chuckled because he had read my mind again. He walk off to go back on that academy.

I had thought that I have to visit the academy sometimes and asked on what they are doing. I don't know when will they attack Marissa's house but Patrick had predicted it. Executions for my sister is still bothering me. Though she's not my blood, I still love her, as my sister.

"Here," I open my eyes to see Mrs. Gregory, Marissa's mother. I took the lemonade that has few ice cubes. I take a sip and love the refreshing chill on my throat. "I'm sorry about my son."

"Yah, no problem Mrs. Gregory. Masen needs a combat training. Not only for his family but also for himself. As we all know that King Elliot knew where you live and he could demand his men to get you or Marissa anytime."

"Patrick might love my daughter that much."

"He did. At first, he just pretend that he wasn't in love. My brother is good at pretending that much."

I decided to stand and drank all the lemonade and I gave her the glass back. She smiled at me. After a few moment, I taught Masen how to handle bow and arrow. Nick is really good in archer and Masen told me that Nick taught him basics so it wasn't that bad for him to get the bull's eye but somehow, it is just luck.

On our dinner together with Marissa's family on their lawn on the house was quite good. However, Patrick stays in the academy and it was for a week. Marissa will really miss him and I guess that it was nonstop calling. It gives me goose bumps whenever I hear them talking too sweet and too flirty at each other. Maybe because I am not used at seeing my brother flirting.

I decided to run at six in the morning throughout the woods. I stop for a while when I saw a person in a white cloak. I didn't make any sound and hid on the big three. My heart is still pounding from my running. She's looking around like she lost her way. When she turn sideways, I can see how beautiful her face is. She got a very beautiful nose shape. She gently lift her hand and a green butterfly perch on her knuckle.

She got this tiara and a green stone is on the middle. It shines through the sunlight. It relaxes me by just watching her. I still don't know if I am still sleeping and this is a dream but if ever that this is a dream, I decided not to wake up. She might had notice my presence so I push back my head for her not to see me. My heart suddenly races and my mother's voice echoes on the forest calling my name. When I peek on her again, she's gone.

It disappointed me much that she's gone. I groan in disappointment and run back to our house. I saw my mom who is waiting for me.

"Good morning mom." I smiled at her charmingly.

"Oh, my charming son. Hurry up, we need to go back to their house." I nod and job towards my room and ready a warm bath.

I looked at in my reflection in the mirror while drying myself. The beautiful girl on the forest keeps visiting my mind. I bet that she's not from our world but I don't care. If I come visit Nick's world where we can enter because we are one of them, I will come and find her. She might be a Princess so it would be a little easy for me to find her. I will seek on the five kingdoms.

"Drew! Come down now. I had ready your cereal."

"Just a minute mom."

I get down and took my cereal bowl. I drank water and then started eating it all. My mom rubbed my back and told me to slow down.

"Am I a burden to you mom?" I asked out of the blue. She grimaced on my question. "Because, you know, you are still taking care of me giving me money because I don't have. While Patrick work for us." My dad smack my head and I laugh while rubbed it.

"Don't asked stupid questions. You are going to work in the house instead."

"Sure." I laughs. "But with allowance."

"You always got allowances from your brother." My mom said.

"Patrick will stop giving me allowance. Since Marissa is pregnant."

"Yeah, so get a life." My father toss me a bottle of fresh pure-orange juice that he just squeezes.

"I will. My siblings will have their own family and I am still stuck in being single." I shook my head on the idea and swig the bottle.

"Stop talking nonsense, Drew. We have a war to get ready."

I wanted to talk to them about the girl that I saw a while ago. I am sure that it wasn't a hallucination. When we get to Marissa's house not that too far from our house, Masen is already having a good time on getting fit. He's pushing up with few blocks on his back.

"That's right dude. You're getting sexy." I told him with wink and he falls his face down the ground. I laugh and told him to get up and continue pushing up. "I am not gay so don't worry. I have no interest on you." I walk towards Marissa and gave her a warm hug. She's like my baby sister too. But, Patrick impregnate her… and it sounds awful that my brother impregnate my sister. However, no blood relation.

"You are getting prettier." I told her. She only laughs at me.

"Go get a girl." She told me.

The training goes on. Marissa's father is also doing well on swords and few defense and attacks that my father is teaching. However, my father told me that it will takes time and days to be a good fighter. Good thing that he taught me and Patrick how to fight well.

I was demanded by Marissa to go down town to bought foods that she wanted to eat. I exhaustedly sigh and just do what she wanted since Patrick is giving me allowance and increase it in thirty percent just to buy things that Marissa wanted while he's gone.

When I get into the nearest store I immediately hoped out with my phone on my hand and bills on my pocket. I collect few chips and ice creams and then, cookies. Damn, there are so much more to buy. There is an ice box on my car with full of ice for the ice cream not to melt. That's a very smart idea of Marissa. I pick up Patrick's call when my phone rang.

"Your girlfriend is really giving me full demand."

"Take care of her while I am working, Andrew. I had increased your salary."

"Wow, you are really awesome bro. How much did they give to you?"

"It is not your business anymore, Drew. Just buy what Marissa wanted." I winced on what he demanded.

"Oh wow. Now you are demanding too much like Marissa did."

I did bought what Marissa did and he even told me what Marissa wanted to eat so I bought few chocolates, sodas…oh damn why am I have this feeling like I have my own family? Which is Marissa and Patrick are my children. Should I grabbed someone here to give me pleasure or should I find a love? As much as I wanted to have someone by my side like Patrick has, I always thought of my sister. I am afraid that we didn't give her enough love. I am afraid that we lose her.

I came back a little late in the afternoon. Marissa's childishness over the ice cream get worse. I thought that she would eat me alive because I come back late. Damn this girl. She always does hate me.

When the weekend comes, Patrick would go home and they would flirt each other all day. I hate seeing them like that. But my brother is happy so it would not be that bad.

Every day I do my routine on running on the forest, thinking or maybe, hoping to see that enchanted girl on the woods. She's really lovely, really, really lovely. I stop from running, catches my breath, closing my eyes and looking up the sky. Trees are tall, the sun rise-light beams from trees to trees. What a wonderful day. When I look into my front, my heart almost jump into my throat when I saw someone standing there, holding a spear.

"Oh, wow." He's not just holding a spear, but it was a golden spear that he is holding. He's is wearing a gray cloak, hood, covering his head. His outfit is ancient or old… old style? Maybe, whatsoever, but he is really staring at me that bothers me that much.

"Andrew of House Patterson."

"Ah…" I looked around to make sure that he is clearly speaking to me. "Y-yeah?" I cleared my throat. "Yes?"

"Messenger from House of Highest Highness, Aurelius."

Confusion was all over his face. Why does it feels like, he was suddenly connected on the other world? Adhiti, comes in his mind immediately. Maybe Nick sent him.

"Does Nicholas of Era sent you here?"

"Prince Nicholas is not my master. Princess Amanda is the one who sent me here. I am here to deliver a message from her." He pulls out a scroll from his belt, walking towards my direction and extend it to me with a bow. I took it. I kept myself cool but alert that it might be a sudden attack of the stranger. "Remember," the man face me again. "That once you had read it, the whole scroll will be destroyed by fire. This moment is very confidential. And from this moment after saying this, 'this has never happened'." After that, he immediately walk away turning into a gray and white werewolf.

I stood there, really, really confused. I looked at the white scroll and immediately run back to the house. I was breathless when I luckily catch up with my parent's before they leave off to mystical academy.

"Wha—" My dad immediately took the scroll from my hand and my mother run to him, as I did and dad, takes few seconds before scrolling it open.

Many execution she takes from the insecurities and hatred,

Of those who greed and hold such power.

Our young prophecy, still lives.

For, every monsters and elements takes her side.

For she, the one and only life,

Of your world, my world, their world, our world.

What does this mean? I speak on my mind. Dad immediately close the scroll putting it on the sink and big fire eats the whole scroll and immediately it turns into ashes.

"Where it came from?" Dad asked me.

"It said, from the House of Highest Highness. What does it mean?"

"Adhiti is alive. She takes all the execution and she had survived." My mother broke into tears. "Ohh, my little angel. How many times should she die to pay their sins?" my dad immediately put his arms around her, as mom sobbed on his chest. "They are all, evil."

How many times should I witness the pain from the people who loved her? How many times should I worry for my sister, and hate those people who wanted her dead? How many times should my sister suffer?

"I won't let them hurt her again. Once I get in to their freaky world, I will kill anyone who tried to kill her or wanted her death." My dad put his hand over my shoulder and gently squeeze it.

"Don't do it literally, Andrew. You should cool your head before attacking. Remember? Don't let hatred overcome you."

I was left alone in the house. I have to locked all the entrances and possible entrances and turn the security alarm before going to Marissa's house. I was really surprised to see Masen using the martial arts that I taught him on the big punching bag that is hanging on the tree. He's really into it and I am proud of him as his mentor.

There's tingles on my neck straight to my spine when I felt that someone is watching us. I immediately turn on the direction where I saw someone watching us. I caught it and it was a girl but she was fast and she immediately disappear. Just as I realized that it was the same girl whom I saw on the woods. She's watching over here. Does that mean that she's a threat?

I run on the direction and hear her running away. Just as I was about to catch her, she falls down the ground that has plenty of twigs. I immediately hold her cloak pulls her up until she face me. Our eyes instantly met, my eyes, meeting a green-hazelnut eyes. I gapes on how mystical I felt towards her. Just as before I open my mouth to speak, she immediately pushes really hard that makes me fall down and it felt like the underground roots pulls me down as she run away just right after she was free from my grip without looking back.

I just lay down on the cold ground and sigh, thinking about on how beautiful she looks. I felt my heart beating really fast because of the run I made and because of the contact we make.

I sat up decided to head back when my eyes darted on the shinning stone. I took it, studying each stones on the bracelet. I am sure that these stones are antique or more like luxury that worth billions in this world. Okay, I have this feeling that we are going to meet again.

I stood up smiles crazily, removing dirt from my clothes and clench the broken bracelet. I can't help to sing loud, really loud that echoes on the woods. And it will probably hear by that angel that I just saw.

I got this feeling, inside my bones. It goes electric wavy when I turned it on… And if you want it. Inside your soul… lalala-lala-lalalalala…

I guess, she can hear me from far. I won't get worried of meeting not her again, because I will meet her again.

"Andrew, why did you ran off that fast?" Marissa asked looking at the direction where I came from.

"Someone is peeking here, I am sure that it was from the other world."

Marissa's brow creased because of my mood. Like, hey, I was just cool and maybe I look happy. Happy? Well, yeah, happy. So she guessed it right. Well, it is all over her face.

"It's a girl, right?" she finally teases. And guess what, I didn't defend myself so she laugh, really, laugh. "I am glad that she doesn't beat you."

It was almost ten in the evening when I decided to grab some bear down town. So I drove my really sweet car, smiling crazily as I keep flashing my mind on the beautiful maiden on the woods.

However, I can't stop thinking on what she's doing there. She was exactly looking over Marissa. If she's a threat, I can really take a good care of her. Really, good care. I would love kissing those plump lips of her, stare on those green-hazel-nut eyes…

I was just about to go on my deepest fantasy when someone in very fast motion, stopped on the middle of the road. Good thing that I automatically, hit the brakes. I look at the ugly back of the guy who's wearing all white clothes, from shirt to jeans with no shoes?

Damn, his feet are really pale like dead. Someone, this person seemed really, really familiar. The man turn around and my jaw drops. It is a kid who died that makes my Adhiti really traumatize. Paul. How is he alive? But he doesn't look really alive. He look soul-less, dead-dead-undead… I am not really mistaken. It gives me goosebumps all over my body.
