Flying Sparks - 6 05

Nightmares crowded my mind as I stirred around the bed. One nightmare after another, making me unable to sleep. Till it stopped at one. My body was floating as the place was surrounded by red hellish flames. A being stood before me. He had the same blood red eyes and the black claws. My hand cupped my mouth in shocked as I saw him himself.

“Little one, nice to see you here after calling you billions of times.”

“What is it that you want, you monster. You made me kill my parents, possessing me and burning down everything that I loved. What else do you want.” He gave a laughter which sounded like it was mocking me.

“You’re a pawn in getting more power of course. Why else would I possess you and take your power?” My tears threatened to flow out as I desperately bit my lips, causing blood to flow.

“As the only daughter of the Alphonse Family and the last standing one, you have a lot of power inside of you. Though sadly, you weren’t wanted. Your parents wanted a boy that will continue the family. What I did was to give that thing you wanted.”

I didn’t ask for that! My parents loved me despite being a girl! They wouldn’t lie to me! Papa… Mama… What is the truth that you want me to seek? Why do you want me to suffer like this? I loved you guys dearly…

“We will meet again little one. And the next time, I will be breaking that seal.” Everything turned black and I was presumed to be falling.

My eyes spread wide open as I took deep breaths from that nightmare. I quickly touched my ankle to see the woolen bracelet was there. I took a sigh of relief and headed to the shower to prepare for school.

After a while, I came out fresh from the shower. Hair smelling like lavender and still dripping. I looked at myself in the mirror and boy do I look horrible. Eye bags visible, my face looks so sullen. I rummaged through my drawers and found the things I was looking for. Foundation, concealer and mascara.

Putting little blobs of foundation on my skin, I took a makeup brush that was clean and gently spread the foundation with even strokes. Then I used a bit of concealer under my eyes and used a beauty blender to dab the concealer around. I took my mascara and brushed it over my eyelashes, making it look nice. I made a small braid by the side before clipping it with a hair clip.

I put on my uniform and looked at myself in the mirror. I was definitely shocked at the power of makeup. I looked like an entirely different person then. I made sure that everything was packed before going to school.

Reaching school got me a lot more attention I’m used to. I got stares from many people, especially the boys.

“Who’s that? A new transfer student?” “You idiot! You can’t tell from her cape? She’s the Queen!” “She looks so different!” I continued walking till I was at the student council room. I made my cape vanish as I knocked on the door. Raymond came out and asked.

“What do you want Milady? Is there something I can help you with?” My inner self took a deep breath and told myself that I was going to pretend that I changed.

“I only want to talk to you Raymond.” I said as I made my cape appear once again. Raymond’s shocked face could be seen as he knew there was only one person who has the white cape. He then started giving me compliments which I accepted well.

“I couldn’t give you a bad image can I? So I dressed up this morning.” He laughed as he placed a kiss on my forehead. Mental note to not wipe it off later or my makeup will come off.

“Shall I escort you to class my Queen?” I nodded as he activated his own broom for me to sit on. I held my broom and bag as he brought me to class. Upon reaching my class door, he took my hand and kissed it.

“See you later my Queen.” He takes a bow before leaving. Though, there was more commotion about what happened right outside the door. The teacher came in once again and hushed us back to our seats before starting class.

– Time skip till end of the class –

“My Queen, I have come to pick you up for lunch” Raymond came through the door and all I heard was screams of the girls. I waved the boys goodbye too before leaving with Raymond. Once the door was closed, there was an overpowering scream from the boys.

We reached the cafeteria and we both got our meals and sat at the table meant for 2. We both put our meals down before him pulling my chair out and sitting me in. He then kisses my hand and goes to his own seat. We both started our meal in silence till he broke it.

“Why did you become like this? Didn’t you not want to be my Queen? What’s wrong?” I sighed and spoke up.

“I decided weighing my options out between being a depressed Queen or a happy Queen. I rather choose the latter so here I am. And not to mention, I think you’ll like this more.” He then let’s out a chuckle and agreed with my statement. We finished our meals soon enough and went back to class after it.

– Time skip till school ends –

School finally ended and he came to pick me up once again. I rode on my broom as we walked to the edge of the floating island. He trace my jawbone once again and tipped my chin.

“Glad to see that you’re being obedient. See you tomorrow my Queen.” He places a kiss on my cheek before I went home, dashing through the clouds. Grip tightening on the wood, I quickly raced home to wash every contact off. I never wanted to get close to him ever.
