Stay By Me (Heart Book Series #1)

Chapter Eight

Quincy was thinking in her mind. Emerson flew over to her. He wanted to check up on her. To see if she was alright. Quincy looked down. She smiled at him.

“ I want to tell you something Emerson. Don’t get mad at me alright? “. Quincy said to him as she sighs.

He didn’t say anything. He just looked at her. And nodded at her.

“ I don’t want you to think I’m lying to you when you ask me my name earlier. But, Emiko is my nickname that the people raised me as. Quincy is the given name that they gave me “ as she spoke the truth to him. She felt that she trusted him. 

Apparently that was odd for her to trust strangers that she doesn't know. He nodded. And he smiled. She was still wearing her pajamas. They were the cute ones. The onesie pajamas. It was in her closet for no apparent reasons. The ones she was wearing had printed kitten images of it around the pajamas. It covered everything on it. But, before the pictures of it; the onesie was a color of light fuchsia. And there’s also a hold that you could wear. When you put it on your head, it would look like you have cat ears. 

After a few minutes, she heard a sound. She came downstairs. She was in the living room. She followed where the sound was. As she came closer, the sound stopped. The kitchen strangely became dark. She starts to inhale and exhale. She tries to calm her nerves. Then she felt countless eyes of different colors staring at her. It wasn’t a dangerous stare. As the eyes appeared, a thick mist slowly crept behind her. It covers the whole place. Leaving nothing, but herself. A strong gust of wind came out. 

It starts to be aggressive. A blinding light flashes around her. A strong pair of arms crawls. She could feel it touching her skin. The hands stop midway to her forehead. With just one touch, it broke out; a mysterious mark peeked out in its view. She wasn’t afraid of it. It somehow feels familiar to her. She inhales and exhales. She could hear a beating heart a mile away. The mark on her forehead starts to show. It continues to glow and glow, until it is done. As her eyes closed, her hair started to waver in a dancing flow of the wind.

She slowly opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lost in a deep forest that she’s not familiar with. There in the deep forest; she heard soft giggles all around. She didn’t move. The giggles become louder. At first; she thought she saw a blinking light. A light that resembles a firefly. Because it would glow in and out. But, as the glow comes closer; it shows out their beautiful wings. Wings that look like a butterfly. No more like a fairy or pixies. Those are just myths like you heard about it as a child. 

You know the things mentioned in a fairytale. Like witches, vampires, succubus, mermaids, werewolves, etc. Those kinds of things. It came closer. It faded in and out. A beautiful woman soars into the sky. She had beautiful red hair. Her hair was wavy. Her eyes were emerald green. She had full-plump lips as her lip color was the color of bubblegum pink. Her eyes were upturned. But, she had a smoke eye as part of her makeup. Her eyebrow shape was a seductive arch that made her face look young and innocent. Her nose shape was celestial.

A part that looks so Devine and powerful. She had a slender, feminine build, voluptuous and curvy body. Her melons and peaches were big, round and firm. And yet she appeared to look like she was eighteen-years-old. Her beauty and her youth would fool anyone at that. Even men would be fooled by a woman’s beauty. She says her name was Tatiana, the queen of the fairies. And the man standing to her; he was absolutely handsome. It reminds him of his god-like figure. 

His well-tone muscles. His strong arms that could easily lift you up without hurting his back. He had a sculpture body like a statue of a god. He was handsome indeed, but he too looked young. He had the same youthful look as before. He had a short cropped hair style. He also had a slender, masculine build and strong body. It looks like he worked out without doing anything. He had narrow eyebrow shape, moonlit almond shaped eyebrows, he also had long eyelashes that resemble that of a woman. 

Even though he is genuinely hundred percent a man born as one. He had roman nose shape and a classic lip shape. His lips were light blush as the color of it. But, both him and her had the same skin color. Except Tatiana was ivory skin. His skin color was light caramel. He says that his name was Oberon, the king of the fairies. Both her and him are husband and wife. They came into her dream. It was the first step to accepting herself for who she really is. Even if Quincy doesn’t know that.

But, a part of her soul knew really well what her destiny was. But, could she live up to the choices that fate has for her? Tatiana had beautiful fairy wings. It was so majestic and big. It had red and purple that matched well with her. As for Oberon, they both had the same hair color ‘ red ‘. It was rare to see it. Her eyes were emerald green, but his eyes were sapphire blue. Reminds me of a birthstone no? His fairy wings were silver and blue. A majestic color that resembles that of the moonlight in the night sky.

A part of Quincy’s soul has awakened. It shows her the dream about the rulers of the fairies. And that a part of her will soon remember who she is. That is one out of many parts of her soul. She knew she had a human soul. And that there is more than meets the eyes. Her scent has become more sweet than it was. It was as if she’s a virgin again. Her silver-white color changes into red, while her blue eyes change into green. Her wavy hair suddenly became long hair styled in two buns with flowing pigtails.

She had a majestic aura around her. Like there are twinkling stars surrounding her. The butterflies came towards her. It was as if it's a memory that is showing her. But, when she woke up; she found herself laying on the couch. When she woke up, Emerson was by her side.

“ Are you alright ? I heard you screaming, so I came here “ said Emerson as he looked worried when he found her lying on the couch.

“ mmhmm..I don’t remember how I was on the couch. I know I was in the kitchen when I heard noise, but everything went blank in the speed of light “ says Quincy as she was still light headed from the flash of light she saw earlier.

It was only a split second that her hair color and eye color changed. It went back to normal for a while when she woke up. She decided to walk to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator. When she opened it, she saw pudding. She grabbed the pudding in her hand that was put on a plate. Then she closed the refrigerator. She carefully carries the pudding upstairs to her room. Emerson followed it. As she reached the door of her room, she entered it slowly as she closed the door behind her. 

She places the pudding on her desk that she does her homework in. As she lays it down, Emerson looks at it. He also sniffed at it. He was really happy. He loves sweets a lot. But, he was about to eat it with a spoon; he stopped. He was thinking of the cards that he was supposed to protect. However; the cards flew away after the incident that caused Quincy to say the card’s name. He starts to flow above the mysterious book. Quincy watches him. She could see that he was surrounded by a mysterious yellow glow.

A glow that resembles that of a sun. He also had angel-like wings on his back. He had three forms he could do. The first form was his cute stuffed animal. The second form was him transforming into a powerful lion. Third, he could transform into his human form. In human form, he would be looking so majestic with his god-like sculpture of a body. His hair color would be sincere and light yellow-orange. His eyes would be golden-yellow. And his wings will grow big and wider like an angel. 

As he was still glowing trying to sense where the cards were scattered, Quincy sat down on the chair as she leaned towards the table. He was worried about the magical cards. However; to humans; they look like normal cards. Cards that could be used in a tarot reading. Emerson told Quincy that the magical card ‘ The Glow ‘. The Glow cards have their own personalities, skills, talents and abilities. So, he informed him that the magical cards are very dangerous if left alone. 

That’s why he must find all the cards before they cause a lot of damage to the human world. That’s why he made Quincy the card captor. A person who captured these magical cards from doing any more damage that they could cause. Emerson says that his previous master was the one who created the card with his magic. He was the one who gave these cards their own personalities. A personality that these cards could act like a human. Once someone says the card's name; they would appear in a solidified form.

It would also be dangerous too depending on what kind of cards it is. He talks about a catastrophe if the seal on the mysterious book is broken.  He just says to Quincy that the catastrophe would befall the human world. Like he said to her earlier; the magical cards were specially made by his master. 

.... MEANWHILE ...

“ Shenme?! Yinci, women bu xuyao wei yifu fu dian ma? “  [What?! So we don't need to pay for our clothes?] 

Jasper was shocked as he heard what his friends said to them.

“Jia si po, wo de pengyou. Qu kan kan zhe feng xin. Shangmian xiezhe xie zhe feng xin de ben de mingzi. “ [Jasper, my friend. Go look at the letter. It says the person's name who wrote this letter.]

Anthony, Seth and Hunter confirmed it to him. They gave them the letter to Jasper. He read it over and over. They were right. The clothes they tried on were already paid for. They bow towards the person who gave them the letter. She nodded at them. They left the store. And they head on their way to find the address that their parents gave them.

“ Those men are hot. I wonder if they have a girlfriend “.

The woman spoke her opinion.

“ Don’t be silly. They look like they aren’t from around here. We shouldn’t get ourselves involved with them “.

Another woman says.

“ Besides, we already gave the letter to them per instruction from our boss “.

Another person says.

From far away from a distance; just a few miles; Emerson felt a strong wind coming their way. The angel that appeared went back to the girl’s body. Quincy woke up. She adjusted her eyes. As the room was bright. She blinked her eyes a couple of times. She didn’t rub them. Since, she heard that if you rub your eyes a lot; you might lose your eyesight in the near future. 

The moment she woke up, she was in a daze. She didn’t know how long she slept. The dream was strange. She wondered if the dream was a memory. Or was the dream about the future. She doesn’t remember it all. She could see a beautiful girl who looked exactly like her. The voice of that girl was similar to her. The voice of the beautiful girl says she was more than a three-year-old girl. She was majestic and kind. Powerful and strong. The beautiful girl in her dream was not from this world. 

She was about five feet and three inch tall. And that she has the same facials and physical appearance as her. However; her hair and eye color are different. To her, she felt like it’s familiar to her. Quincy appeared to be a three or five-year-old kid in human years. But, it felt strange to her. It felt to her that she was more mature than other kids her age. Which was strange. She doesn’t remember her actual birthday. Or what year she was born. It just made her feel like she’s three. 

When in reality, she would be maybe ten. Because; at age three; children don’t talk much. Norwalk easily. Three year old kids would just crawl fast. Three year-old kid could pedal a tricycle, catch a ball and jump with two feet. They could also learn how to wash and dry their hands. As well as they could dress themselves with help and turn a page in a book. However; for her; she did more talking and more walking than crawling. For humans though; if they are at the age of three; some kids could speak clearly. 

While some would use some ‘ baby talk ‘. You know the kind that would stumble some of the words. For three year old kids; they could understand about one thousand or more words. They could also understand some words that are easy to them. For instance, under, on, beside, etc. Quincy’s hair grows faster than normal. The normal rate for humans’ hair to grow. By now; her hair touches the floor. It reminds her that she’s like princess Rapunzel. Because; her hair was really long. 

However; her hair grew longer. This time like a moon princess. When she was near the light from the sun it made her hair appear fiery. When she was near the light from the moon, it made her hair appear to shine and sparkle. As she woke up, she thought someone was calling for her. But, there was no one except her and Emerson. She also felt the changes. The changes of the air. It was different. It felt like danger was coming. But, she doesn’t know where exactly. As for Emerson, he felt strong energy coming from outside.

 He thought at first it was from the magical card. Magical cards that only he could sense. However; Quincy was the second person to sense the magical card. If she was trained properly.

“ Emerson, is there like another name for the magical cards other than me calling it a magical card ? “

Quincy says to him as she yawns between it. Emerson turns around to face her. He sighs.

“ It took a decade or centuries to have magical girls capturing cards. So you are the only one with that kind of ability other than your ancestors “

Emerson talks to her and looks at how beautiful Quincy looks. He knew she was special. But, he also knew she was too young for this. She was still three or five-year-old. However; her mind wasn’t a child. It was more of a teenager at most. She sometimes has episodes where she has those strange dreams. It was like to her she was reliving it. She’s watching it through someone’s eyes. It felt so real to her. In this case, she could feel her pain and suffering. 

As if she was reliving through it in modern life in reality. He wondered when she could grow more. The part where she looks like a teenager. However; that would take longer than she thought. It would probably take about eleven years for her to be 14. No matter what she did; she kept having dreams. Dreams that sometimes don't make sense. However; when she looks deeper into her past; it would give her some clues to what it means. For instance, these dreams she had before; it felt familiar. 

A part where it was trying to give her a message. She thought really hard. And sometimes dreams end up in reality. Whether in different shapes or forms. She sometimes gets into a daze. A daze in which she would be far away from a distance. She stares out into space. It was a form of daydream that everyone would experience. After a few minutes, she felt the change of the air again. This time the air was different. A different kind of feeling. The wind crept through her face. It welcomes her with open arms. It continues to brush into her face. It’s like she could feel someone touching her face. But, there wasn’t anyone there. She continues to space out again.

In a dream-like state (standing up)

“ Who are you ? “

A girl gazing up into the sky through the window. It felt home to her. A lingering feeling passes by. It starts to engulf her whole body. She calls out to it. But, no one answers it. A sparkle light shines brightly. It went through a transparent crystal. Like an opening you see everyday. It wasn’t anything new. It felt normal. At the same time, feeling special. The special kind of feeling. The kinds that the warmth bottled up. It bottles up to the highest peak. Like a crescendo playing high in waves. Waves of the ongoing waterfalls. Crashing back and forth. That’s the kind of feeling the girl felt these days. It didn’t leave her at all. It was like a calming effect. It scratches at her heart.

“ What is it that you’re trying to tell me ? “

The girl starts to close her eyes. She took a deep breath as she breathed in and out. She felt a thumping feeling through her heart. It was the same warmth all over again. Like an eternal flaming burning into you. Never letting you go. There wasn’t any wind coming through the window. It was impossible. Because, the wind was closed from both sides. So, how was it possible for the window to come? How is it possible that the girl could feel it? It was as if the wind was listening to her heart. 

A multi-color appeared out of nowhere. It starts to engulf her body one-by-one. I saw a rainbow after it rained. Out in the corner of the darkness outside; a mysterious group of people was watching over her. They are blending in with the shadows. Even though the moon was still lit up in the night sky. The girl continues to flow evermore. As the girl touches the window; it felt like her hand went through it. It didn’t make her knuckle broken. It was a normal feeling. 

The feeling of coldness was placed on her hand. The girl’s body was still standing by the window. She felt something was sweeping out of her body. It was in-out-of-experience. She is standing next to herself. She could see herself with her eyes closed. She felt a trace of a connection. A connection that was calling out to her. As much of the color was around her; it continued to grow within her. She could sometimes feel a different part of herself. It wasn’t painful. It was more calming and relaxing. 

She doesn’t know why. The colors of the girl’s eyes change every color. It starts from the color of the elements. Including fire for red, blue for water, green for wind; bright blue for ice, brown-orange for earth, black for dark, white for light, and purple for lightning. Each time her eyes change color it reacts to the color of each element. Elements that are used in magic. For instance, fire is red, water is navy blue, earth is green, air is light blue, light is pure white and darkness is black. 

Each time an element reacts to her; it also reacts to the elements that are used in the human world. The elements reside within the different parts of her. It was like her mind, body, soul and heart were split into eight. It was a sign of calling forth eight guardians. These guardians would watch and protect her. Their duty was to protect her from anything. She felt the elements of each realm start to react to her. A strange feeling came out of her body. It intensified. She could feel the strong gust of the wind.
