Chereads / Katerina and Her Darkness / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

I didn't go back to sleep after that, I just read books and listened to music. That might be the only thing that can make me relax now.

"Music! Music is a beautiful language and the international language of all kinds." That's what my mother had once told me.

I jumped out of my bed slowly, careful to not hurt my ribs, and decided to wear a black cap today. Maybe that way, no one would be able to recognize me. I also left for school 30 minutes earlier and even drove the car that Uncle Dan bought for me.

I mean, he is sooo rich...

When Jayden and I just moved over, Uncle Dan had asked us on the phone, whether or not we wanted a car. Before I was able to answer, Jay told him that I have always wanted a MINI Countryman, which was true. In the beginning, I thought Uncle Dan was going to buy one car for both Jayden and me, little did I know, he bought 2 cars, and one of them was a brand new MINI Countryman.

Before driving, I examined the car briefly. Its body was moonwalk grey, and its roof and mirrors were white. The color of the seats was the color of black pearls, everything about it was so perfect. It was exactly how I imagined my car would be. I was pretty Jayden gave Uncle Dan a three-hour lecture on how my car should be designed.

After some time, I hopped into the car and drove off, as always I had to use the GPS to enable to find the damn school. Trust me, I have zero sense of direction, probably I was the worst road idiot in the world. It was actually nothing to be really proud of...

I reached the school in minutes. The parking lot was pretty empty, so I stopped my car in the very corner, and opened my window a little so that I can hear when people are coming. I lowered the volume of my Bluetooth headphones. I closed my eyes, and little by little I felt my mind dozing off...

'Hey. Who do I see here?'

'Just an ordinary runaway girl, huh?'

'No, no, no! She just might be...'

'Good thing we came early today then, Master Haze.'

'Shut up, you're gonna wake her up. Oh my God, she hasn't changed at all.'

'Actually... I'm already awake. I'm a light sleeper.' I said as I opened my eyes. By the sounds, I could tell there were two young boys talking, and they were standing right beside my car.

What I didn't expect was that, when opened my eyes, I saw this gorgeous creature in front of me. His night blue thick hair and his shiny black eyes, made him looked beyond attractive, something about him makes me feel safe. Like someone, I can depend on...

Suddenly, there was this sharp pain in my head.

He finally found us...

What? Flame? Is that you?

Maelogan...

Who are you...

You'll know...

'Hey! Hello! Are you okay?' Haze shouted worriedly, pounding on my window. I looked up, that was when I realized, I was crying.

Why?

'Am I supposed to know you too?' I asked, feeling empty inside out.

'What is your name?' Haze asked as his fingers pointed at the button by my side.

'Oh. Sorry, ' I apologized as I rolled down the windows. 'My name is Beth, Elizabeth Colin.'

'So you are Elizabeth Colin!' Haze said excitedly. 'I've been looking for you.'

Another hot guy looking for me... Oh my God, I'm not happy at all.

'No doubt, the whole school knows me now...' I muttered sadly.

'Oh, come on...' Haze said, his eyes were so gentle and soft. His right hand slowly reached inside my window and wiped away some of my tears. Then, he frowned and pulled away quickly. He was whispering something about magic and then turned around to the boy who was behind him the entire time. 'Umm... Dodo, what should I do?'

'Well... Master. Since we found her, let's just take her back home.' Dodo answered. 'Isn't she...' Dodo had dark red hair, not like Flame's bright red ones, and he is very short. He looks like a second-grader.

Who would bring a grade school kid to high school?

'No.' Haze answered, as he frustratedly pushed his night blue hair back with his fingers. He did not have red eyes like Tobias but had black eyes like the night sky.

His eyes looked caring and soft, not like Tobias' emotionless cold eyes...

'You were always too soft on her.' Dodo said as he shook his head and jumped into Haze's breast pocket. Yes, he just jumped up and turned to a little Chibi.

'Oh my God! What just happened? He just turned small... And, and became a...' I whispered in shock!

'Don't worry. It's just a... just... Uh...' Haze said scratching the back of his head, trying to explain.

"You must be a magician!" I exclaimed. That was the best explanation I could think of.

'Yes... But, no, Katerina... You really did lose your memories..." Haze said as he looked up in the sky.

Is he trying not to cry or something? But I didn't do anything to make this guy cry!

'I don't know who this Katerina is but... Everyone keeps calling me that!' I said angrily, as Haze turned around and started to walk away quietly. 'Why won't anyone ever explain it to me!'

'Because you still don't remember...' Haze answered quietly. 'There's nothing I could do. They've found you first.'

'What the...'

I was called to the principal's office later on, for running away from school. The principal was so mad, but in the middle of scolding me, he suddenly received a phone call. His attitude completely changed after that. He was in his best manners and told me that I did nothing wrong and that everyone runs away from school sometime in our lives.

Yeah. That was about it. He gave a nice pat on the shoulders and told me that I may go.

I wonder who called... Whatever...

Crystal and Westin have been ignoring me all day. I never really blamed them, because anyone would feel ashamed to talk to me now. When I was thinking about all of this, I felt anger all around me... Inside and out... I felt tired and closed my eyes slowly.I saw flashes of pictures flying around me again. I felt myself being overwhelmed with pain, sorrow, and hatred.

Hatred!

I felt power wailing up inside me.

Yes, power! With more power I would be able to stay strong, I wouldn't need any friends, I wouldn't need anyone to protect me. I could just be Me, Myself, and I!

Everyone at school was staring at me today, maybe wondering why I have no cuts or wound after jumping from the second floor of the school.

People really gossip don't they?

After school, I went walked over the parking lot and saw Tobias, Flame, and the earphone guy standing there right beside my car. It seemed like they were waiting for me. I hurriedly walked over to my car and completely ignored their existence. I was just about to open the door to my car when Tobias called out.

"Elizabeth."

"What." I retorted impatiently. "What did I do again."

Tobias clearly did not like my reply, but he took a deep breath and asked again. "Did the Principal do anything to you?"

"No, and if you were the one who called him up when he was scolding me, thank you very much!" I said sarcastically. "But, if you were never so stupid as to write my name on the wall and ruin my reputation, I would have never run away from school!"

"He scolded you?" The earphone guy asked concerned. I was shocked because he always looked like he couldn't care less about anything.

"Yes."
