He quickly regained his cold composure and stood up.
"That's enough for today." Then he left.
I followed him.
WHY AM I FOLLOWING HIM? I AM GOING TO DIE, HE'S GONNA KILL ME.
"Hey! Wait up!"
WHY ARE CALLING OUT AFTER HIM?
It was clear that my survival instincts are rock bottom.
"What do you want?" His eyes lowered at me, and the entire atmosphere went cold.
Why do I do this to myself? Genuinely?
"What's your deal with me? Why do you always look like you want to kill me?" I crossed my arms and blocked his path. Why did I block his path. What the fuck was I doing today?
"Whatever do you mean, princess."
Was it just me, or did he sneer at that word.
"Okay, pissyface. You clearly have a problem with me, you go around, glaring at me and you act as if I'm some poser or I killed your dog, which I'm sure I didn't. You're supposed to my best friend or something? And I'm pretty sure you died with me. So, like me, you probably were reborn."
He towered over me, and leaned down towards my face.. Was it just me or was his face scarier than usual?
"Don't call me pissyface." A chill ran down my spine
Dear Gods, I'm coming to you once more.
He stood upright again and looked down at me. I assume he looks down at everyone, cause he fucking tall.
"I have do not have a problem with you, Lira Crimson. We've known each other since we were kids in our 'past life'. Know, we meet again, but as 19-year-olds. You would have a different perspective, for I was always this cold."
Right... he was. Still acts like a bitch, but then again he acted like a bitch back then as well.
It feels so weird saying back then. I feel old. I'm 19. Technically, I do have back problems so...
"If there is nothing else, I am leaving, Ms. Crimson." He bowed and left.
That was weird.
You know what else was weird? The fact that I have to take aura classes with Sera.
At least she was more comfortable to be with, but all she's making me do is meditating. Unlocking the inner self or something like that, I don't know.
"You're late for class." She spawned behind me, and I yelled.
She was smiling, yet looked pissed. If I wasn't going to die because of Kairos, I was surely going to die because of Sera.
She dragged me by the ear to her class.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..... Sera, I'm sorry." I had to lean down as we dragged me.
That woman's grip was not to be messed with. Plus I think I developed back pain in areas I never knew about.
"Seraphine, to you for now."
The entire lesson, she tortured me. She made me balance on one leg for an hour. AN HOUR!
HOW DOES ONE DO THAT?
After all of this I laid on the bed and sighed.
A knock on the door.
I groaned.
I opened the door to see Kairos. He was standing there, glaring, and sword in his hand and I was sure I could see some black eerie aura around him.
He was here to finish me wasn't he? I knew it. I was going to die today.
So I did what any sane person would do.
I got on the floor and bowed to him, touching his feet and begging him to spare me to live.
"Oh great one, spare me at the mercy of your sword, spare me for I shall be your servant and do what you wish. Oh, great Kairos, I shall pamper you with words and fetch you water as a dog, but spare me so, Oh Handsome One."
"Hey... get off of me. What are you doing? Are you insane?" He tried to kick me off of him.
I looked up at him. "You're not going to kill me?" I sniffled.
He sighed and gave me an irritated look. "No, you dumbass. Seraphine called for a meeting. I swear every time you're like this-" He exhaled sharply rubbing his temples. "And to think I have to deal with this in this life as well. I expected 'The Rebel' to be more mature than this, but I suppose you were always The Rebel."
Right. We were like this then as well. I'd do stupid insane stuff, and he'd have to keep me in check.
I smiled sheepishly and stood up.
"We're going to be late. Let's go." He waited for me to come out of the room before walking towards the table.
This time, no one was wearing a cloak or anything. At least it looks less like me being sacrificed.
I stood in my spot.
Next to Sera, like a child clinging onto her mother.
"EVERYONE!" Her voice boomed.
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to stand right next to her.
"Gather around, it is time. Time that the Princess is ready."
READY TO BE A SACRIFICE????????
"Ready for the mission."
Oh.
A mission.
Thank God.
WAIT HOLD UP, A MISSION?
