'God...you sure hate me, don't you? Then why did you make me think that I'm your favourite, huh?' I thought as I saw the two children in front of me standing with worried faces.
'Should I say I don't know you, get out!...No that would be too harsh, they are kids after all. Should I say I don't know who you are so we should not meet anymore...Are you stupid, Felicia? You are not breaking up with your boyfriend...Ahhhh. What should I say?' my thoughts were going crazy.
"Then I'll be outside if you need anything just call me, okay?" Fannie said and left.
"Are you okay, Sabi? Does it still hurt?" asked the boy innocently.
'Aww...No! No, Felicia you can not get swayed by their cuteness, it's a trap!'
If that's Anne, then this must be Knox, her step-brother. I guessed that because of his red hair and blue eyes, just like fire and water.
Knox was two years older than Anne and one year older than Sabrina and Anne is one year younger than Sabrina. Both of them were Sabrina's close friends.
"I'm...okay but...who are you?" I said.
'let's play dumb haha....' I smirked internally.
"You...you don't remember us" Anne said as her eyes got teary.
"W-wait don't cry. I lost my memory so I don't remember anything. I didn't even remember who I was so...you can always introduce yourself again, right?" I said as I started to panic when she started crying.
I was always bad at handling crying children it is almost as if my brain stops fuctioning and I just start to say stupid stuff like what I'm saying right now.
'Introduce? Felicia, you're trying to avoid them! Not deepening your friendship with them, you stupid fool' I internally slapped myself.
"Yeah right, we can always introduce ourselves again, hehe" she said while smiling through tears.
'Ack...s-so cute' I thought, getting attacked by her cuteness.
"My name is Anne, Anne Romet. I'm six years old and we are very very very close friends. You and I were like water and fish who cannot live without each other. Water can live without fish but it is sad without fish but with fish it is happy but fish cannot live without water so they stick together and are happy and wa-"
"Enough. Now it's my turn." She got cut off by Knox while I was still processing the example she just gave. It didn't make sense but still...It was Adorable!
"I'm Knox Romet. We have been friends ever since we were born, we grew up together and I'm also your very first and special friend and we are very close." he said with a proud smile plastered on his face.
'Cute' I thought.
'No! Don't get swayed. Don't get swayed. You have to get rid of them. Think of a way'
I didn't mention this before, I'm weak for cute things, especially children, I really like them.
"Ohh...I'm Sabri-" I was about to say but got cut off.
"We know!" both of them said together.
"Oh yeah right, I forgot you knew me haha...Anyway, I am not feeling well today. I just woke up and it's too much to handle so maybe we'll talk later, I really need to rest. You should go too, you must also have many things to do." I said.
"Yeah we should go and let her rest. We will come the day after tomorrow, okay?" Anne said while smiling.
'An angel?' I wondered.
"Day after tomorrow? Why? You don't have t-" I was saying but I got cut off by Knox.
"Yeah, why the day after tomorrow? We should come tomorrow. It's not that hard since we are neighbours, right?" he said.
"N-no, that's not what I was saying. I was saying that you should-" I was speaking but no one was paying any kind of attention to what I was saying.
"Yes! you're right we'll come tomorrow don't worry. You should rest and be healthy, okay? So, we will be leaving. Bye bye!" she said and both of them left.
"-not come back...that's what I was saying" I sighed as I failed to stop them from coming.
'Argh! can't I do such a simple job?...Uwaaah' I cursed myself as I laid on the bed, twisting and turning.
"Today was a long day. I'm not ready for tomorrow...Haiz" I sighed and with that I drifted off to a deep slumber.
Day 2:
Today I woke up and decided to write the novel's plot in a diary so that I don't forget what happens in the future.
'Uh...What happened after that?Think, Felicia, think.' I was in my thoughts which soon got interrupted.
"HELLO SABI!!! How are you?!"
The door flew open making me flinch and I dropped the pen I was holding.
'Oh my God! What the hell is their obsession with playing judo with the door? Poor door...I feel bad for it!'.
"*sigh* I'm...fine. But what are you doing...here?" I hesitantly asked.
"Oh, you already forgot? Guess you really hit your head hard haha. We told you yesterday that we will come today and not just today, we will come everyday until you are better" said Knox.
"That's right!" Anne added, nodding to Nox's statement.
'Every...day?' I was shocked by his statement.
'No that can't happen. What should I do?... Aha!'.
"You don't have to! Look, I'm completely fine. I can run and jump and my head also doesn't hurt" I said while running and jumping around the room.
"Look, I'm completely fine *huff* so you don't have to come daily *huff* because of me...okay?" I said, panting, in hope that they would agree because they said they will be coming until I get better so if I'm better than they won't come...I'm so smart.
At first they were silent, then they looked at eachother and a huge grin formed on their faces which made me think,
'I...messed up, didn't I?'.
"That's great! and it's even better now we come every day and play without any worry and you can also come to our house right brother?" said Anne with a grin so wide that the sun would seem dull.
"That's right! Now we don't have to be cautious of anything because now you are alright. So now..." Knox looked towards Anne with a smirk plastered on his face.
'Uh oh...' I got a bad feeling.
"WE CAN PLAY TOGETHER STARTING FROM TODAY!!" They said in unison.
'Nooo!!!...Good job Felicia...you're doomed!'.
Day 3:
"Sabiii!!! look what we brought today!"
Once again the door flew open revealing the two kids. I didn't flinch or anything as I knew this was coming.
"H-hi…What...did you...bring?" I asked, helplessly.
"It's the doll that you gifted me and you also have the doll that I gifted so let's play!!!" said Anne, excitedly.
"And I brought my wooden sword to show you. I recently got it and from now on I will be learning swordsmanship and you know what I will be the best swordsmen in Paizi." said Knox with full enthusiasm.
"Yes you will." I said without realising.
'Oops! it slipped out of my mouth. Well it's not a lie though. He will be the best swordsman not only in the Paizi empire but all over the world and he will be the Captain of the Holy Knights as well. He also plays a great part in spreading the Paizi empire's rule all over the world with his squad including the Archduke, the Second Prince, the Archmage' I remembered.
"I knew it! I knew you believed in me, you just didn't admit it. Hah! I guess memory loss makes a person honest. That's cool." he exclaimed.
'Oh, so the original Sabrina teased him that he can not become a knight. Cute.' I chuckled.
"Come on Sabi, let's play now. I will be the princess and you will be my knight, okay?" Anne said in her cute accent.
'Ack...my heart!' I thought as I got hit with her cuteness.
"Hey! Why does she become the knight? I will be the knight" He argued.
"No! You go and play with your sword. Sabi is mine" She showed him her tongue and dragged me from there.
"W-wait!" I said as Knox shouted from behind,
"That's not fair! I'm her friend before you...you know that right?" and he started running behind us while I was in my own world trying to figure out what in the world was going on.
And somehow Day 2 ended...
Day 6:
"Sabiii! You up?!!" Knox shouted as he entered my room. I was sleeping since yesterday was very tiring. Dude...being a kid is not easy.
"Get up, you sleepyhead!" he said, throwing the duvet off of me.
'Hahhh. Another tiring day.' I thought and got ready for the day ahead.
Day 10:
"SABIII!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!!" Anne shouted.
Currently we were playing hide and seek and I hid for real and it has been half an hour since I hid from them. I really want to avoid them but why are they so clingy? It's very difficult to avoid them especially when they are this cute! But I have to stay away from them to avoid the path which leads to my death.
"HERE YOU ARE!!"
"Ahhhh!!" I fell from the tree.
"KNOX!!! YOU STARTLED ME!! Ow..." I shouted at him and held my knee since it got injured.
"I-I'm sorry. You were hiding so well so I got excited when I found you. Does it hurt very much?" he asked, being concerned.
"No, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt that bad after all I was a well-trained agen-" I stopped middle way as I realised what I was saying.
"Huh? what were you saying?" Knox asked.
"Oh it's nothing and it doesn't hurt tha-" I was speaking but stopped as I got an idea. Hah! This will definitely work.
"YES! It hurts very much, to the fact that I feel like I'm dying. Ahhhh~" I said as I acted like I'm about to faint.
'Oh God, my acting is so bad. No wonder chief never believed when I pretended to be sick. Will he believe me?' I thought and peeked through one eye and found a terrified expression on his face.
'Hah! Got you...you fool hahaha...' I let out an evil laugh in my thoughts but flinched due to a very loud high-pitched voice.
"OH MY GOD!!!! WHAT HAPPENED?!!" Anne shouted as she ran towards me.
"What happened to Sabi? Did Brother do this? Brother! how can you do this to her?!!!" She asked.
"I-I'm sorry *sniff* I really didn't mean to hurt *sniff* her. I'm s-sorry" he said as his eyes got teary and he started sniffling.
"Oh no, d-don't cry. I-it's not that bad. I'll be okay by tomorrow, don't worry. You should go home and I will go rest okay" I said trying to calm him down.
'God!! What the hell am I saying? One second I'm saying it hurts really bad and the other second I'm saying it's not that bad. What's wrong with me?' I cursed at myself.
"Are you sure? Will you be okay?" Anne said worriedly.
"Yes, I'll be fine" I said reassuring them.
"Pwomise?" she said, showing me her pinky finger, she couldn't pronounce some words correctly as she is still learning.
'Oh my God, so cute' I cannot handle this level of cuteness.
"Y-yes promise" I replied.
I hate myself.
I couldn't believe what I just did. Why am I so soft hearted?
