"Hey! Old woman." Zi was standing in a hole on the ground. "Hey! Lionel."
"Yes, Zi. What is it?" She looked down at Zi inside the hole.
"What am I doing here digging a hole?"
"We want to build a new facility right here and since you're the only one here who is young and seem to have a lot of stamina we thought why not let him help us build it."
"And you said this is supposed to be training to improve my Sense."
"Oh! Did I said that? Hohohohoho" She started laughing.
"And you haven't told me the story about that friend of yours."
"Didn't I told you? All right I'll tell you after you done for today."
"I haven't seen the sun for 5 days now. How deep am I supposed to dig?"
"Just a little bit more."
"You said that same things 4 days ago. Well, I hope this is the last day." Zi started digging again. Minutes later, "Somethings coming!" He climbed out the hole with a ladder that was place behind him. "Run get out of this place." Every one of the towns people run out of the underground and back up the town.
"What wrong?" everyone was wondering when suddenly the earth shook with such force that everyone hid to a safe place until it stop. Everyone looked at him. An old man who came out last said, "The passage way to the underground town had collapse it will probably take days to remove it but there is a probability that it will collapse."
Lionel, the old woman smiled at him and said, "You save us all from being trap in there. Your Sense had gotten stronger."
"But I still have no control over it. There got to be a way to control this power. Before I go there is still the story you owe me."
"Very well, I'll tell you. Let's go to my place first." Leading the way, Lionel and Zi came to a rundown tavern with tables and chairs scattered everywhere. "Give me a hand and help tidy up this place. "
Zi helped her fixed the placed up, "This will take the whole day." A person entered and helped them. One by one another person help until the place was completely clean. "That went faster than expected.
"Thank you everyone for helping out." Lionel bow her head as thanks. "Now, as thank for everyone help let have a feast." A group of waitress went in and serve everyone in the room with foods and booze. "All right, Zi. Follow me." They were headed behind the counter and headed for the kitchen. The kitchen was hectic, chefs were preparing and cooking foods. They continued on until the reach the huge freezer. She opened the heavy door and said, "Go ahead Zi."
"It's freezing in there."
"Just go on ahead I'll explained everything."
Zi nodded and went in without further question. As he went in the air went cold. His sweat started to freeze, as he was walking he saw a light in front of him and headed toward it. "Is she the one you're talking about?" He saw a beautiful woman with long white hair and smooth skin. Ïs she sleeping?"
"Yes!" a loud speaker echoed the room.
Zi covered his ears. "What are you doing?"
"Sorry about let me adjust the volume. Okay... that should... do it. Now then where were we, ah right! Yes, she is the one I'm talking about. And yes she is asleep. The only way to wake her up is..."
"Should I kiss her?"
"What! Did your brain froze? What kind of person would kiss a stranger or would let a stranger kiss them? Are you pervert? If so you should tell me now so I could kick you?"
"No, no, no I'm not a pervert is just feel like it something you would do to wake up a princess."
"Well, you shouldn't do that. Just concentrate and try to use your Sense to see her past."
"All right! But I still don't understand how to do it."
""Just close your eyes and focus on your thought on her."
Zi closed his eyes as told and tried imagining the woman as he remember. "There's nothing I can't Sense anything." Zi opened his eyes and was amazed and confused, "Where am I?" He noticed his hands. "I can see through my hands." He was standing in a field of grass and in front of him was the woman, the same woman who was just sleeping in that freezer. Sitting underneath a tree next to a lake and crying her eyes out. "What's wrong?" Zi asked.
She was staring blank at the lake and started to speak. "What can I do to impress him?" A thought came to her. "That's it!" Zi was surprised when she stood up. "It will definitely impress him but my master will definitely scold me if she find out." She went back to her gloomy self.
"Excuse me?" Zi said and tried to tap her shoulder only to go through it. "My thought was right, I can't touch her."
"Who's there?" She look around but saw no one. She hurried went away from that place.
"She couldn't see me but it seem like she feel something went I touch her. Hey, Lionel! Are you still here?" He shouted but there was no replied. Minutes later, he was transported to a different place. "Where is this place?" He was standing in a fancy hotel room with the woman and a man sitting next to each other. "What am I doing in a place like this?"
"I told you before Avory you can't help me."
"There is something I like to show you. It might help you."
"If you show me this and it didn't help will you leave me?"
She nodded, "I'll even leave this town if it bring you peace."
"Is that a promise?" He looked at her with doubt.
"Yes, I promise never to bother you again."
"Well might as well see this and get over with it. There are still a lot of things I need to do."
"Great you won't regret it." She stood up and stand in front of him and started concentrating.
"What are you doing?" He noticed something strange. A flock of birds were standing at the veranda and more birds were coming. He opened the door to the veranda and said to Avory, "Are you the one doing this?"
"Yes." She approached him and looked at the birds approached.
"But how?"
"I have this ability call Sense. My ability is the Sense of the Heart, it let me read one's heart but I can also manipulate it."
"Wait, that mean that."
"No, I didn't control nor can I do that to you." She looked at his eyes so deeply.
"Of course, if you did I would have fallen in love with you a long time ago. If you can do this that mean you can really can help me." He gave a huge smile at her and hug her.
The scenery changed again this time he was inside an office of a high-rise building. "Hello president there is someone I like to meet." He introduced, "This is my beautiful wife."
"Oh! Hello. Your wife is beautiful you're such a lucky guy." He stood up of his chair and shook her hand and in that moment. He faced the man and said, "I want you to be the next president of this company I'll soon going to stepdown of my position." He smiled at him.
The next moment he stood inside a room of a huge mansion. Avory was bedridden. She just given birth to a baby girl. She was holding on her arms. "Where is my husband? I haven't seen him for months now." She asked the maids.
"Sorry mistress, but we also haven't heard from him."
She used her Sense on her, "Tell me the truth where is my husband?"
The maid started to cry. "I'm sorry mistress for lying to you for all this months but your husband is likely with her new wife. Living on a different mansion. We were order to take care of you until you are needed." She was sobbing on the floor begging for her forgiveness.
"Can you help me see him?" She tried getting out of bed/
The maid nodded, "Sorry, mistress but I can't do that you need some rest and your baby need you right now. But I can help you get proof to show him what he been doing."
"Thank you, Beatrice for doing this." She started tearing up.
The maid left the room. Second later the moon has risen and the maid had return with evidence of her husband affair. "I'm sorry mistress but as you can see."
"Yes, Beatrice I believe you, I still can't accept it." She hold her chest feeling her heart breaking and started crying over it. "Can you leave me alone?"
"Yes, mistress." She left the room. Leaving Avory alone to sob after realizing the truth.
Zi was then transport in a dark place where nothing but himself was standing. Moment later the woman appear in front of him. "Avory?"
"So you are the one who is trying to make me relive my pain?" She reach out her hand toward Zi.
Tears started to run down on Zi's cheek. "Why am I crying?" He wipe his tears. "What am I feeling?" He looked at her, "Is this the pain you been enduring?" He can feel her pain as if it was his.
"It's painful isn't?"
"Yes, but this isn't enough for me to stop living. Now, why don't you wake up from your nightmare and chase your dream again."
"He was my only dream and I was able to attain for a brief moment until it was taken away from me. And what dream is that you're talking about?"
"The dream of having your kid of seeing her mother smile again."
He felt a great pain in his heart. The woman disappear and the blackness also disappear. He was brought back to the mansion where he found Avory sitting on the floor crying. Zi approached her as he got closer his pain in his heart grew stronger. He saw a letter on the crib and read it. "I'm deeply sorry mistress, your husband order me to bring him your baby. Everyone in the mansion were all fire you were left there all alone. I hope you forgive me for this."
"Now you see, I also have no child to return to. I have nothing."
"No, now you have a lot more reason to wake." He gave her a smile.
"And what is this reason?"
"A reason to take your child back from that scumbag."
"And do you even know where to find him?"
"No, but I can find him for you and this time you won't be betray." Zi pain disappeared and he returned back to where he is, in the freezing cold freezer.
"Where you able to see what you want?" Asked Lionel through the mic. Avory opened her eyes from her long deep slumber. "Avory!? You have awaken." The heavy door opened and Lionel rushed in giving Avory a warm hug.
"Lionel?" She hugged her back. "I'm so sorry if only I realized sooner I wouldn't." She started crying.
"It's alright, as long as you find that is the most important thing." She let her go and face Zi. "Thank you very much for waking her up from her deep sleep. I don't know what to do to show my appreciation."
"That all right, it also help me understand bit about this power."
"Let us go out of this freezing cold before you get sick." Lionel said to Avory and help her walk out the door leaving Zi alone..
"Wait! What about me? It seems that my body is a bit numb from this cold. Achoooo!" He sneezed and walk out of the freezer while rubbing his arms to heat himself up.
