Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 4: (Distorted Peace - So I’m Not Getting My Peace?)

After that we were labeled for some reason, they wanted to label us by number. I have received the number 86, as for that blonde girl beside me she received the number 87. She would look at me for a few minutes before even speaking to me."Hmm….". She then suddenly gave a smug look on her face, "I'm number 87". I rolled my eyes at her, "so?". Her smile then faded, "so?....". She scuffed, "It means that I'm better than you". She walked off, as she brushed her hair to the side. "Hey!". Suddenly a small kid-like voice would be heard right behind me, as I turned around to see a girl that looked like she could be a middle schooler. With dark purple hair, and black-ish like clothings that are oversized, as well as a dark purple butterfly hair pin. "Your number 86?". She asked me as she tilted her head at me, "yeah…why do you asked?". I leaned down to her, "alright then… I want you to have a battle with me.". After hearing her say that, it made me laugh a bit, as I patted her head.

"Aww…. why are you trying to make fights for someone so young as yo-". Suddenly she smacked my hand away from her as she gritted her teeth.

"I'm 27". She added, sounding very annoyed.

The atmosphere became very quiet, I blinked, "ah…I see…". I wasn't very convinced about it. The girl pouted at me, "I'm Mitha Fal". she added. "I see…well it's nice to meet you Mitha Fal.". I lifted my hand to her, "I'm Mika Coy, it's nice to meet you Mitha. I smiled slightly, as she shook my hand. "Nice to meet you too, Mika.". She added, "so, will you battle with me?". She looked me in the eyes. "When you mean battle….you mean… join your guild?....you don't actually mean that you want to fight me do you?". I tilted my head, as she nodded. "Pfft…. Then why not just say that?". I added.

She stayed silent for 3 minutes then nodded slowly. "I want you to join my guild but also fight me". She added.

"But why fight me?". I added in.

"I want to see what you can do.". She added.

"Well… alright then..". I shrugged, as we headed out of the church and away from the church. Where we would be next to a big open field, a perfect spot to battle on. As we did I saw a few more people up ahead of us, a man with dark brown spiky hair, tainted skin, abs, muscle, wearing a white t-shirt, dark blue jean pants, and a brown backpack. As for the two people beside him, a girl with a thin body, black hair up in a ponytail styled, top t-shirt colored black with a white outline of a cat, a brown jacket wrapped around her sides, short jean pants, black shoes with white shoelaces. Lastly a girl with dark blue hair that was very long, to what hid a part of her face, dark red t-shirt, and long black scruffy pants .

"Hey, you must be the new one that is joining our guild? Well great to have ya on board. I'm Treavor Bran.". Treavor smiled.

"Tailor Pawn, and this shy dark blue-haired girl is Misty Omai". Tailor added, as she walked up to me.

"Nice to meet you all as well. I'm Mika Coy.". I smiled slightly as Mitha pulled me along to battle already. "You're really eager to fight… Aren't you?". I tilted my head to the side a bit. She would nod at me as she stepped back, after a few minutes of standing in silence. She would charge towards me with very quick speed, as I quickly tried to block it. Meanwhile in my mind wondering how do people know if they have powers so quickly? Or even more importantly… How do they use them? THUMPED! While being a bit off guard I was hit into a tree, as Mitha looked at me for a moment then sighed. I looked at the others as they turned their head away from my direction as they all left me there. It appears they were just trying to recruit stronger people, but because I didn't show any signs of magic on me that could have been of use to them, they left. I got up as I patted the dirt off of me as I punched the tree behind me while gritting my teeth. "Even in this world….people are still the same!". I yelled as I kept punching the tree but eventually a voice behind would sound very familiar. "I always suspect that you're some sort of psycho, and here you are…..punching a tree.". I turned around just to see that blonde girl smirking at me, as I marched my way over to her. "What do you want?... Are you here to annoy me? Laugh at me? Because everyone thinks I'm useless?!". I yelled as she then lifted her hand at me. "Nah, I just came because I wanted to apologize but…..your acting a bit crazy…". She added while still having a smug look on her face, "why…you!". I gritted my teeth, as I threw a punch at her, she catches it. After sometime later I fell down on my knees as I felt vulnerable and helpless. The blonde girl scratched the back of her neck before crouching down to me as she put her hand on my shoulder. "Hey…sorry about that, listen I know sometimes I can be a bit mean and all…but… I promise you one thing is that not everyone is bad you know?...". I looked up at her as I sighed, "you say that….but….you have no idea what it is like to be looked down at, your whole life, people leaving me, putting blame on me, and all I did was try my best… I hoped that in this world I would get away from everything and be free…but apparently…..this world is the same..". I pushed her hand off me as I walked off leaving her in the dust.

Soon later the sun would rise down as it became dawn, I lay back near the buildings of houses, as I had my back against the wall. While looking at the people walking amongst the streets I would see some of them looking all cheerful and happy, it made me want to throw up. I scuffed as I turned my head away from them. Then out of nowhere a small white creature would walk up to me as it tilted its head. It then nudges its head against my hand as it blinks cluelessly at me, not understanding my emotions. I felt a bit of warmth and comfort as I picked up this white furry creature, into my lap. It looked at me with its small nose, as its ears flicked a bit. "Cute…. You almost look like a rabbit…except a bit different..". I moved my hand across its somewhat short white fluffy tail, as I pet its wings gently. For some reason it reminded me of that blonde girl, since she also had wings just like these. I then leaned my head back as I looked up and sighed. "What's the point?.... There is no need for me to even do this so-called mission or whatever you would call it…..If in the end…I'm just going to have to spend my life living the same life in my world…Is it wrong of me to want to be free?". I grip my hands tightly as I feel the white creature nudging its head on my hand, still comforting me even if it doesn't understand my emotions. "Thank you…". I slightly smiled at it, as I lifted it up near my face, with its forehead touching mine. "But..for some reason.. I feel like I can't help but look forward…".
