Ester POV.
“Is she still alive?”
“Shh, you might wake her up.”
Noisy…
“I can’t wait to talk to her.”
“Talk to her when she wakes up but remember that this is her first time seeing you since she lost her memories.”
Ugh…so noisy...
“I’ll do everything so that she can remember me again.”
“All right, all right don’t get too excited and you might wake her up.”
“Who’s disturbing my sleep?!” It’s been so long since I last met sleep and then those ungrateful creatures are disturbing me. Who are these people anyway?!
“You’re awake!”
In front of me, a child that can’t seem to enter into the light for twice.
I ignore him, I don’t want to look crazy talking to myself.
“Lady, how long I have been sleeping?” I asked the lady who has been by my side.
“You slept for five days!” Hmm…I didn’t sleep for one month but only slept for five days. That’s unfair.
“Where is Calcifer? I want to talk to him.” I got up and head towards the cabinet to get some clothes.
“Calcifer is not here for the moment. Is there something wrong?”
I changed my clothes.
I saw Moon covered his eyes.
“You shouldn’t change when there’s someone, what if they're someone else besides us.” I ignore him again.
“There’s nothing wrong, I just want to discuss important matters.”
This important matter is about Rem and Rom on how to save them.
“Maybe I can help with it!” Lorelie offered.
“Sure. But let’s wait for Calcifer first.”
“I want to help too!” the ghost said. I ignore him again.
“Huh?”
“How are you, lady?” the last time I saw her was, she is in pain. I hope it didn’t cause anything to her.
“Are you worried at me?” she sobbed. Why does this woman so sensitive? I just asked her how she is and then she cried.
“I’m alright! Thank you for saving me.” That’s good to hear.
“Umm…”
What’s wrong with this boy? He is staring at me and like he is waiting for something.
I ignore him.
“Lady, where is Sir Alpha?”
“Alpha is at his territory.”
“Thank you. I’m going out and I’ll be back.” I opened the door and was about to go out.
“What?! You just woke up and you still need to rest!” They stopped me.
How can I sleep when you two are so noisy? I prefer to get out of here then to listen to two of you.
I continue walking and they are following me from behind.
“Let’s go back to bed, child…”
I sighed. “I’m fine.”
“You’re not!” the ghost said. I Ignore him again.
They followed me until Sir Alpha’s Territory.
“Let’s go back.” Lorelie insisted.
“We’re already here. Why do we have to go back for?”
Some of the garms, snared at me.
Well, I got no problem with that after what happened.
I saw Sir Alpha at the rear entrance of the cave.
I called him, “Sir Alpha.”
Before I got near Sir Alpha, the sons garm stood in front of me like they don’t want me to go and talk to Sir Alpha. Even Mama Garm just looks at me and didn’t do anything.
“Don’t treat our guest like that.” Said Sir Alpha to his sons.
They moved to the side but were still on guard, what’s up with them? I understand what I have done but I feel like there’s something more.
“Ester, what are you doing here?” asked Sir Alpha.
“I’m here to apologize. I’ve done something that I shouldn’t.” I have no regrets for what I have done even though I failed still, I tried.
“There’s nothing to apologize for, you only wanted to save your friends. I wished I could also do that.” He's smiling at me but his tone is sad and he said that he wished he could also do what I did, I think he meant that he also wanted to save Ester.
But, I think he did the right thing in not saving Ester because she doesn’t want to be saved.
Hmm? I felt something.
Dark…
It’s like the seven deadly sins combined into one.
Where does this come from?!
It’s inside the cave.
I tried to approach it but they are blocking my way.
The cave is surrounded by a black aura.
I can feel it, it’s screaming…I wanted to puke.
This is dangerous. It has to stop!
I pushed away that is blocking my way and attempt to enter the cave again. But, Mama Garm blocks the path.
“Mama Garm, get out of my way.” Since she is the same size as Sir Alpha there’s no opening that I can get in.
“Forgive me, but I can let you get in.” what are they hiding that they don’t want me to see? This world has too much drama.
“Even just a peek?”
“Still no.”
“Even just a little bit?”
“No.”
“I promise not to tell, this is just a secret between us.”
“Nope.”
“Awhh.” I pretend to sob.
“Menie.”
Her shoulder slump and her eyes drooped.
Sir Alpha laughed, “She got you, darling.” He comforts Mama Garm. “Since she already notices we cannot hide it from her anymore.”
I was right they were hiding something.
“Rem and Rom have a curse on them, right? We also have it too but not like theirs.”
What? They are also cursed too?
“Is this because you said my name?” They said my name- I mean Ester‘s name many times, is this the result of saying my name? When did it start?
“I doubt It. We got it even though we didn't say your name and it happened many years ago.”
So…what caused it then?
Not to mention, Rem and Rom didn't also tell me the cause of their curse.
There's no information about Curse Magic in the Book of Shoes.
“What is your curse, Sir Alpha?”
He was silent for a while.
“Come inside.”
They moved away at the entrance of the cave.
I look at the inside and there's a black aura and in the center there's something.
He's coming forward.
My eyes can't believe it.
I am shocked from disbelief.
How can it be…?
“You…”
