Chereads / An Appell Far From The Tree / Chapter 3 - Meet's the Antagonist

Chapter 3 - Meet's the Antagonist

Everyone left the room only leaving a maid behind to take care of Forrester. She was standing in proper manner beside the Forrester who was on bed in sited position.

The maid give him medicine prediction by the doctor who was standing among the crowd earlier.

When the Forrester take the medicine he started to cough because the taste of the medicine was awful.

The maid who was standing there quietly said: "Young Master" and handed him a glass of water and back down a little.

After finished his water, he handed an empty glass to her and said: "I want to rest so you can leave now."

The maid bow down and said: "Then rest well young master, this maid will leave now." The maid covered him with blanket.

Forrester pretend to sleep and watched her to leave. As soon as she leave and closed the door of his room he jumped down from the bed and run towards the big mirror he has in his room.

Forrester's eyes widened when he saw his image reflecting in the mirror. He saw that he has shrunk, to be exact he has become a small child who is only 5 or 6 year's old.

He touched the mirror lightly and mumble: "I did really become the Forrester. How is it even possible?"

And what's even worse is that he has become the younger version of that foolish villain 'Forrester Appell Salvatore'. He was totally speechless.

And that's when he finally noticed that not only he has become so small, but he also has became fat? "Wait, What?" He shouted in his head.

"As if dying and reincarnated in novel was not enough for me I even have to become the main villain. As if that was also not enough I become fat and ugly"

He again yelled in his head, so no one can heard him. Forrester couldn't even get a word out of his mouth.

After some time Forrester calmed himself down and lightly touched the mirror again and only stared at how he had become so small and fat.

He noticed that the real Forrester has the same color of the eyes he used to have in his past life. Pure green which resemble the forest.

He mumble while looking at the mirror: "But how did I end up here in this body?"

"Because I brought you here." A loud voice surrounding every inch of the corner in the room came from who knows where.

Upon hearing this voice Forrester immediately jumped back from the mirror and started to look everywhere in room.

He was quite shocked, because the windows and doors of the room were close, And the most shocking thing for him was that he didn't even feel any presence of someone.

"Is it an assassin attempt?" He thought.

His thoughts were filled with 'How come he didn't feel anything?' and 'Where is this voice coming from?'

In loud voice he said: "Who are you? Why don't you show me your face?"

Forrester knew that he would not win if he came to face his opponent who's strength and power is unknown, because he neither had a sword with him nor does he know any magic to protect himself.

"You are gonna show up or not?"

But there was a one thing that made him confidence enough for him to intimate his opponent who's power and strength was still unknown for him.

"What, are you scared of me? Then you are no bite but bark." He smirk.

And it was his knowledge from 'The Novel'.

Forrester was sure that no matter what he does he will not die so easily. Because the real Forrester's death was already set by this novel's author.

Again that voice surrounding every corner of the room said: "Hey how can you say that with such a cold expression? We already know each other."

Forrester didn't give up on searching. He turn around and look behind the curtains hanging on the window while answering: "I don't know you nor have I ever heard your voice. So how come we know each other?"

"I'm little hurt now. Come on you already know me" That voice came again.

Forrester was getting tired because he couldn't find where this voice was coming from and since his body was still small and fat he couldn't move around much. He already started to sweat.

Forrester was getting impatient as he was getting tired. And so there was only one thing he could do.

Without hesitant Forrester yelled: "Then why don't you show me your face?"

Is to yelled as much as he can.

There were two possibilities if he yell. Either someone might come to help or the assassin will show up in front of him to stop him from yelling so as no one can came to save him.

Forrester calculate his every move that no matter what happened everyone will eventually came to him without even need of yelling if he is in danger.

But there was an one slightly thing he forgot.

What will happen if the assassin will use magic to make him disappear.

"Hmm....You wanna met me that badly? Then let's meet, shall we?" There was a slight sound of chuckle in that voice.

Upon finishing this word Forrester noticed that there was huge light above his head.

He didn't have enough strength in him to dodge that light which later devour him completely.

"Ugh" Forrester slowly get up from the white tea table. He rubbed his forehead slightly and thought: "What just happened?".

He didn't pay any attention to his surroundings as he was busy thinking about what happened.

"So you finally get up, huh?." it was the voice of a young man who was sitting in front of Forrester.

Upon hearing this voice Forrester saw a young man sitting in front of him in proper manner while holding a cup of tea only.

Forrester noticed his clothes which was white in color just like the cup of tea he was holding, Not only was it white it was also shining like a diamond. The white clothes he was wearing were matching with his snow white skin which makes him look dazzling.

As the wind was blowing the young man's long red hair tied with white ribbon started to float in the air.

Forrester couldn't help but to stare at him unconsciously. The young man gently blew his tea and take small sip of a tea as he looked up at him.

As the young man looked up to him, Forrester noticed the color of the eye of the young man. He saw that the young man has the same color of the eye as he used to had in his past life and also have in this new life.

They were green, Pure green which shows warmth. Forrester saw something, Although they showed warmth in it but they also show pain in them. A pain which no one can image.

"How long are you gonna stare?" He asked as he take a sip of his tea.

After hearing the young man's voice Forrester came back to his senses as he jump back immediately from the chair he was sitting on when he was unconscious. "Who are you?" He asked.

This time he didn't feel hard to jump back as he feel back in his room. He can easily jump and move. His body was feeling light. He look at his hand and saw that his hand has become slim and so he touch his face to conform it.

"This....This is my body. I came back. Finally I got out from that fat body." He said joyfully.

That's when Forrester finally took noticed to his surrounding. There was a white tea table decorated with a tea set and some sweets, A beautiful garden filled with only red roses and an open clear blue sky with the sun's ray shining on the grass, And a beautiful pond surrounded by blue lake and a bridge to cross over in oder to reach there.

Forrester who has never seen place this beautiful was completely stunned. He was completely lost in nature's beauty as he completely forgot about the young man who was sitting there quietly.

"It's so beautiful. How can such place exist" Park Ha Joon mumble.

After taking a sip of tea, the young man stared at Forrester and he slightly smile.

He answered as he put down the cup he was holding: " It's called magic. I creat this place with my magic."

"And who do you think I'm?" The Real Forrester looked at him with intense eyes.

"How can I- " Park Ha Joon stopped suddenly.

For an unknown reason Forrester take a step back as he asked that young man: "Are you.... Are you perhaps the real Forrester?"

He answered him as he laugh: "Yes".

When he answered 'yes' Forrester face completely turn pale. He couldn't stop himself to stare at him.

"Now why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea with me as we talk further" He, The real Forrester said with a sneer on his face.
