Chereads / Cinderella is Sleeping / Chapter 26 - "Under her Spell"

Chapter 26 - "Under her Spell"

She was alive, unmoving and breathing lively.

She was the strangest human girl they had ever seen and ever will. Just so ordinary yet very peculiar. How could one look so lovely with their eyes shut in deep sleep?

There was something unnatural about her as if she was from a different realm send by a diety and they wouldn't be surprised if they were told.

Must be her glossy skin and her rosy cheeks like apple that attracted them but the way her long silky smooth silver hair spread like feathers on the pillow and her lips in gracefully curved, they could adore her forever.

She must be cast by a spell for she looked like someone from an other worldly creature but they laughed at how silly to think so ridiculous because maybe they were the one under a spell as if they were bewitched by her innocence and they couldn't help but to feel enchanted towards her...

"Like a tiny merciful angel fallen from a sky...." The eldest one utter in a low voice to himself and make a side smile which then smirks later.

"This is ridiculous...." A voice of mumble was heard from the youngest one.

"What a pity...." Speaks the third one in cold face.

"You must be kidding us...dad. She look just fine...she's only taking a nap." The second one say looking scornfully at the sleeping girl.

"And that is what it worries us." Speaks the old man with an agitated and serious face.

"...." Silence dropped in the room.

After seeing upon their puzzled faces in utter shock he continue, "I know this is unbelievable but it has been for two months...."

But regardless of the reason they just couldn't bring themself to accept her. They just can't. It was harsh. As if they were fighting with their inner self their hearts were wavering like seas. They weren't sure how to react on this. But this wasn't their concern at the moment.

He take a moment to pause after scanning their conflicted faces, "If you still think it's difficult...you could atleast pretend to be. But I believe you will eventually come to accept her naturally." He strongly says as if he knew it to happen.

Days fled in just a blink of the eye. The brothers continued to visit the girl. And like a miracle to everyone's surprise the girl gradually started to respond as if she was coming back to life. It all happened suddenly ever since of their visit, she was beginning to react to her environment which gave a rise to a rumour about them being some kind of a lucky charm because until now her body had been rejecting all the medication given to her. It must be purely a coincident they say, but this has never happened before.The doctors and stuff members even the patients in the hospital were the witness of the strange beliefs because the tale of "the little mysterious sleeping girl in the room no: 35" was known to every people there.

Staring at her blankly, "Do you think its a crime watching a sleeping young girl?" Says Sora sitting by the couch chair and leaning his elbow over there. "They say she is getting better do you think she is listening?"

"Look at the way she is sleeping....like a baby." Smirk Haru. "Quiet and deeply without a wary...."

Aito who was watching her closely leaned his elbow on her bed sliding his fingers through her long silky hair from top till the bottom of her hair and plays with it by twirling the strand ends of her hair into his fingers and make a mustache using her own hair.

"Like she would literally wake up now why am I always tense everytime I watch her...." Daichi spoke to himself. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed looking at her carefully without taking his eyes off her.

Suddenly the youngest one noticed her shut eyes moving and soft mumbling sound beneath her breath which alarms him, "Brother!! I- I think..." Stumbling his words he turns his head with his eyes wide, "She is moving!"

"What?! Now?? Are you sure?" The two brothers gasp in shock.They weren't prepared for this. Of course not...

"Calm down Iam calling them!" The eldest one quickly press the nurse call button that was above the bed and signal them.
