As the birds sing their morning hymn and the sun ascended brightly, the young man woke up lazily and started doing his morning routine.
He looked to the mirror. He has messy hair with blue sea eyes. After checking himself in the mirror, he left his room. His room is in the west wing of their mansion, Everything was sparkling in their in it , for it was design for royalty. Golds were molded in the wall, each has different shapes, sort of like a british royalty wherein design in walls were really necessary.
He rooted his way to a huge hall with a long dining table that signify their Royalty. He sat near to the king and queen's chairs, his parents. For a normal person the ambiance were really gravitate, but for Cred, it was his normal daily routine
He looked to them with excited eyes. His mother gave him a smile, but his father doesn't even flinch. Still looking deadly serious.
He is about to say something when his father interrupted him
"Cred,my son, don't forget that you must always be alert in protecting the barrier." Sounding like a sort of machine, it totally made his spirit drop.What a nice way of greeting good morning to his son. Cred wears his mask and makes his most obedient look. He's not their son but rather a mere puppet doing anything they wish. Cred were full of questions he want to throw at them. Why the hell they treat him as if he's not their son? Why his father is so into that barrier? What makes that barrier so important that his father would sacrifice everything even him? He matched the gaze of his father with his gaze to hide his dismay that he's been feeling and locked on the corner of his heart.
Cred nodded with all of his strength trying to convince his own self that it must be done for the sake of everyone . But no matter how he convinces himself about it, the cruelty of reality still hunts him, the truth that his parents had forgotten about him.
After he had finished his food he stands up. Going out without even looking to them. While walking in the hall, temperature drops as Cred passed the corner of it. Its one of his ability, the power of ice which is also can be influences by his strong emotion making incontrollable. Cold frozen air were radiating from his body like a total walking freezer.As he left the mansion with his car,he drove fast, going to school. As he arrived, he pareds his car
A voice was heard by him when he got out of the car realizing that it's Kristine.
"Hi Credfield! Mind if I join you to the 2nd floor?" She asks
He just gave an indefferent look and gestured a nod to that woman.
Kristine is really popular for being a total slut of Raven High School. A cheerleader and has the shape of a body to die for. Every men in their school were drooling for her except for Cred whose been never throw an inch of an interest to her. She cling to Cred's arm but Cred brushed her hands away.
"Don't be like that pretty boy, I know you want me too" Kristine said with seductive tone, brushing her point finger to Cred's face caressing his face to look to her. Cred just fix his gaze to his peripheral view giving a just blank stare She's really desperate for Cred's attention, she even always left her three botton open, to show some cleavage. She got everyone from doing this, and she's hoping it will work also to Cred. But she's terribly wrong, Cred is like anything she imagined, Cred was lonely and blank, he only pays attention to his duty as a guardian of the barrier, just like what his parents want him to be. He's about swift off her hand when someone came into view
"Look who's here the crown prince and with... if I'm not mistaken Kristine right?" The guy said while giving irritating smirks. The young man in Red hair named Marco made a rains of fire ball and poured it to them. Cred managed to make an icy barrier to cover both of them
With annoyance, he faced him with cold eyes
"I think you should not be here, son of the filthy duke" he said, sounding very sarcastic
"Don't you dare bad mouth my father!" Marco shouted with anger
"Sorry I just did" he blankly said
With that, Marco surrounds them with fire.Cred freeze the inner side and makes a stormy snow flakes out of vaporized wind to kill the fire. Cred makes scythe out water in the fountain. The two fight with almost equal strength to one another. The fire and ice two opposing elements that cannot be bind together
On the other hand, Kristine disappeared from the site, icky to spread the hot news to everyone else in the school. But before even she could do that, Mr. Malp see her running in the hall way in class hours, and its not a good call for Kristine because Mr. Malp was known for being a total pervert,he will not shot his mouth until he get what he wants.
"Mr. Anesthasia?" He called, You can sense his lustful eyes fixed her fitted sexy body
"What do you want sweetie?" She asked giving seductive voice,. She walked towards him and put her hand to his chest rubbing it slowly
"You know what I want, into my office now" He said sounding very horny
Anyway back to Cred, he's been fighting with Marco for a couple of minutes, giving a counterpart shots to each blow. Cred made a huge sharp ice crystal in a dozen pieces. Marco tried to counter but does not withstand the icy blows of Cred, injuring him in the tendon. Cred was about give his final blow when Marco ignite a huge fire in shape of a phoenix, making it as a shield. Cred was still determine and charged towards Marco to give his final shot, and two opposing element showered the area, making chaotic forces. Unfortunately because of the smoke generated from the blast of the two elements,Marco escaped.
Everything went to normal after that, making his life a boring of a movie.
After a long boring day, he goes back to the mansion with nothing but disappointment and some negative things. Its really suffocating for him to be like this, living in plain and not meaningful life. He think deeply and tried to remember his memories of being a consistent puppet of his parents rather than being their son. "I wonder what's the feeling being a normal teenager, far from all of this?" he mentally said to himself
Then he finally made up his mind to cross the barrier which is only he and the enemy's son, Marco Lukcert, can pass through. Besides those witches which they think as being extinct of this world
Being curious what's on the other side and the strong feeling of wanting to escape from all sort of things that he considered madness in his life,draws him to a decision of crossing the barrier.
****************************
The Sky was angry, windy air were banging the window of Cred's room, it seems that there will be a storm. Cred woke up by the banging of destructive wind outside.
He got off his bed and does his daily rituals, and goes to the dining hall where his parents are having there breakfast despite of the angry weather. He greeted them and the same as yesterday, things that happened seem not to boost him up but rather kills his day.
What would you expect from a father who seems too intact to that barrier thingy that as far as Cred concern wouldn't be healthy to bring up with.
Everyday is always like this, serious and lifeless, no joy or fun, no war!th of love can be feel in their atmosphere. Its like they're just chest piece, incapable of giving any emotions even remorse . Being trapped in their walled mansion without sensation of love andf belongingness, sometime he thinks that his life was a mess but that's how it is, so live with it. That's how he managed to do his everyday life and he's still doing it till now.
Cred finally made a sigh, letting out what he really want to say
"Father can we please act as a family while eating? And I think that sort of thing would not be nice to be talk with while we're eating." He blurted out. You could really felt the intensdifying sadness in his voice
His father's expression changed to a look that makes it clear he doesn't like what his son had said.
"Cred, you think that barrier is not important? My son don't be too confident like you know a lot, 'cause you don't. If you only knew how terrible this world was in the past. Being soaked with the blood of both humans and vasmpires. If you only saw those nightmares, you will never dare to talk back like that."
He trembled, being consumed by his father's rage, but still managed to say, "I do know, Father, but I just want to be your son when we are eating."
His father was caught off guard but still stands for what he wants his son to understand.
"No BUTS!! this is not a joke, as Royals it is our duty to maintain coexistent between both races. And that barrier is the only way!" his father said, still in a rage.
"And remember I'm the king. So you should follow me!."His father commanded him. Cred got up
" what ever you wish, your highness" he said with sarcasm and annoyance.
After that he left his parents and lead his way to garage and drive fast his car. He's in pain, he thinks that nobody understands what he'd been through because everybody thinks his the lucky one. They didn't see the shadow of sadness casted on Cred, they only see the superficial one what their eyes has to offer because they didn't bother to know more. He hates his life. He thinks he is imprisoned with his duty. He can't bear it anymore.
He reached his school and parked his car. Immediately after that he went to his office. He's the Campus president of the school, and as a tribute of being royal, the school had made for him a private office.
He has everything that everyone are dying to have, good looks, fitted body, intellect, and money. But one he hadn't that almost everyone had, is a loving family. That's what matters for him, and he knew it was impossible for him to have.
He doesn't go to his classes this day, instead he spent his time being alone there.
Classes have passed and the bell signals for dismissal. It's 6:00 pm already when he decided to go out from his office.
On his way home, suddenly, he had a change of mind. He drive to the other route, specifically to where the barrier is located. Then got off from his car. And take a glare of the blue white vibrant light.
After that he goes his way to the mansion. Going to his room and went off to bed.
