Mystical Academy: Clashes Of Insideworld, Outsideworld, Aboveworld And Underworld

"What do you want to talk about?" I ask as he took my wrist and led me to the fountains of Gods. In front of his fountain. He was wearing a cloak there holding a round clock watch. Yes, he is Death.

"Well," he breathed. "Things are not so easy here. I mean, the last soul you sent back to Paradise manage to have a complete one. We should do something to stop this because there are lots of multiple deaths outside the Academy. The same thing that are happening here and as I research, few are missing."

"We shall visit the funeral of the child who died yesterday."

"No. You are not going. I will go to their house. They are holding a funeral there… I will investigate about the body. Because somehow, the family received the ashes of their beloved without even watching their child get burned."

I furrow at him. I cross my arms and exhaled frustratingly.

"How do you know?"

"I watch them…" of course, when his body is sleeping, his soul can go around wherever he wanted without being seen by the people who are alive, except to those people who can see death and spirits. It is hard for him to sneak since darkness can see him. And this school has full of shadows of darkness or in other worlds. Abyss's children, the missing souls that had been stolen from Earth and turn to darkness.

"You have to take care of yourself. I may not be able to find you." I told him.

"Of course I will." He embraced me. "Let's be twin when we get back to home. I miss my twin." I embraced him back.

"I miss that too."

"When all of this are done to face another one again, let's have a wine on our favorite place and make fun of our brothers and sisters."

"Especially, Fire." I grinned. He love peeving Fire. That she named herself Odessi in the Insideworld.

I can feel another presence here and when I turn it was Clarence who look so serious, annoyance, insecurity, jealousy is all over his eyes. Gibson look at him and he mutter something to me.

"Let's make him jealous." I glare at him. "What? He'll know soon what we are if that time comes, he will really get embarrassed on his own jealousy."

"Death, don't do that. It is not fun on playing people's emotions." He sigh defeated and glance at Clarence to me.

"Okay. Sorry." He said hands-up. He walk off using different direction. I walk toward Clarence who had those sad smiles. He didn't ask anything and took my hand. We walk on the corridor quietly to the dining hall. And why is he holding my hand?

We took our food on the counter and I don't understand why he is so caring. Maybe because it is the way he serve me as his mademoiselle. Our friends are silent when we sat in front of them. Gibson wasn't with us because he is going to do his thing. To take the Souls to Paradise.

After our dinner I was about to retire to my room to rest and visit the Souls in Paradise. But Clarence block my way and he look really beaten. He was jealous and somehow it doesn't make me feel right. I told to father that I will find this love on my own and this love is an affection between opposite s.e.x and soul.

"Quoi?"

"I—" he breathed. "I never felt this before to any girls. But do you have a special relationship with Gibson?" I glance at my left and look back into his eyes.

"You can say that."

"What kind of special relationship?"

"Do you like me, in a way that a man usually feel toward a woman with d.e.s.i.r.e and attraction?" he stare into my eyes waiting for him to say it from his own words. "You keep holding my hand, kissing me last time, feel jealous toward Gibson, get annoyed when other man are mingling at me. Those are signs."

"J'éprouve des sentiments pour vous." He said it fluently. I don't know how to react on that. He has a feelings for me, in a way that he d.e.s.i.r.e me, admire me because he is attracted on me.

"Pick me up tomorrow at eight. Good night." I step forward him as I peck on his cheek. I walk pass him toward the dormitory. I just don't know how to react when he confess it to me. Next, he will confess his love and I still don't know what to say to him. I don't want to play or hurt anyone's feelings and emotions.

I pour oil in the water that my mother put on the casket. It was on a very beautiful glass bottle, an expensive one. That has stones around. I hang my robe on the hanger on the door as I slipped on the warm water and relax my head. I wanted to see on what's happening to my other sisters. I call using the mind-link that we have at each other.

Fire, or Pyr appear in front of me together with Aqua or water. They are smiling at me and I smile back at them. However, Aqua's smile are playful and I do not understand why she is doing that. Her grin touches her eyes… like she is looking for a gossip.

"What?" I ask her.

"Oh, nothing. Don't mind. Just tell me how the kiss go."

"Why does she know that?" I asked Fire who shrugged.

"Did the Goddess of D.e.s.i.r.e (Love) and the God of Love strike the arrow in your heart or his heart?" she tease. That's Aqua, a sweet sister and a teaser one.

"Aqua, I do not understand your kindness when it comes to that. I call you because I wanted to know how's Adhiti."

"You see, I and Fire left from her body because she is m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e with his King… they are married and she's the Queen of Era. Then tomorrow she will left to Hydōr to deal with the Kingdom feeding people to my creation."

"Your sea monsters?"

"Don't call them monsters."

"But they are called monsters." Fire said. "I hate to say it but it is true."

We get interrupted when there's someone knocking on my door. My bathroom is only half open so I could hear if someone is knocking or entering my room. I dismiss both of them and I slipped off from the bathtub and walk to the door to pick the towel as I wrapped it around me while walking toward the door. I squeeze the knob and open it.

"Hi, sorry to interrupt." It was Davin. "But," he look at me from head to toe. I'm really sorry." He turn back. "But Clarence has a high fever. Could you please see him for a moment? I'll wait for you here."

"High fever?" I ask.

"Yeah, it is really something I cannot explain to you here."

"Just few minutes." I close the door and walk to my closet and put my sleeping dress and my thick robe. I put my slippers on and I open the door as I followed him to boy's dormitory. There are few glances around yet I didn't mind them.

It was on the second floor and number 045 room. Davin open it and let me in first. I saw Clarence lying on his stomach on the bed without any shirt. I walk toward him and stare at the red lines on her back. One long thick line on the left and right.

"I joked him about going to have a chicken wings. But that doesn't seem a chicken wings to me. He didn't want to go to the clinic for some reasons. We don't usually go the clinic."

I sat beside him and he is frowning in his sleep. I put my palm over his forehead and his temperature is high. It is not normal in human's body.

"You see, I cannot talk to our mentor because he will surely sent him to the clinic and I don't want him to die since Mr. P wanted us to go Insideworld to follow him."

"I understand. Take a clean towel and cold water."

"He isn't going to be like other kids, isn't he?" he asked me really nervous and full of worried. I smiled at him.

"No, he's not." I told him as he nod and headed to another door inside their room. I look back again on the lines like anytime it is going to open up. I gently traces my fingers on the lines. I have never seen this before. It looks really odd.

Davin help me on flipping him until he lay on his back. He winced but I ignored it and started wiping him to lessen his temperature.

"What shall I do?" he asked.

"Nothing." The door opens and Gibson enter. Did he thought that Clarence is dying?

"So, I think that he's going to have wings." Gibson said as he went to Clarence's messy bed.

"Wings?" I ask him with full of question.

"Oh, you don't know that?" he asked me baffled and he make a very surprised expression by covering his mouth. "Oh, you forgot. Just kiss him and left. He will get better soon."

"I want her with me." Clarence mutter. I look down at him and his eyes are half open. Gibson rolled his eyes.

"Girls are not allowed here, I am surprised that the manager let you in."

"I actually, put her in deep sleep." Davin mutter and when I glanced at him, he look guilty. Gibson laugh and wave his hand in front of his face with snorts. "I shall sleep. I need to sleep." He walk toward his bed and sleep. I don't know that he sleep that fast. Gibson told me that he is gifted with visions and I understand why it is easy for him to sleep.

"You have to sleep to." Gibson told me. "I will take care of this punk."

"I want her with me, please." Clarence mutter.

"Just go. I shall care for him because he's my warrior." Gibson nods and shoot a glare at Clarence.

"Whatever. I'll see you later." He bent out and kiss the top of my head. He glare at Clarence again and walk off.

"Is there any chance for me inside your heart and mind?" I look down at Clarence who look so sad and beaten. He's reddish because of his temperature… but he's sad.
