Who Is Ester Winch?

Chapter 40

“The sprout stands despite its small stem, they are covered with a hard shell but after that they are born into something new. So, all I can say for you is be like a sprout. Stand and chin up every time you walk and be reborn again into something where you are proud of, forget all the past and live like a sprout.”

Why do I feel that she is mature than me?

I feel so little.

“Cowcow!” Someone called her. It wave at her and she waved back.

“I have to go, they are calling for me.” She left.

I look at the seed she gave me.

“Rem, there’s something wrong with Ester.” Rom talked to me with minds.

“Nothing is wrong with her. It is her true colors. She forgotten about us when everyone attention is on her. A attention-seeker b***h. She is like just fat–”

“That’s not her!” I stopped from what he said.

“Not her? What do you mean?” he’s kidding, right? Can’t he see Ester’s face that it’s really her?

“I tried to talk to her but she can’t hear me.” Rom trying to convince me that it’s not Ester.

“Maybe she doesn’t want to talk to you. Obviously, she doesn’t want to look crazy at everyone talking in the air.”

“I told you she is not Ester.” He really trying to pushed his deduction into me.

I stand up and brushed off the dust out of me.

“Where are you going?” asked Rom.

“I’m out of here.” I headed towards the front gate.

“Rem, what are you thinking? If I could switch us back, I should have done it before!”

For some reason, Rom cannot do the switching and only I can do it.

It tires our body every time we switch and put me to sleep for days that is why we rarely do it.

I am now out of the woods.

“Rem, let’s go back.”

“No! I will stay away from here. I’m going to the Tree of Rebis, where everything is quiet and no one will hurt me.”

The Tree of Rebis, I read at Great Grandpa’s book. It’s the biggest tree in the world, they said that who ever ate its fruit will given a great knowledge and power. No one have got neart it except Ester, High Being and Great Grandfather because it is protected by High Beast. But, with the Twin swords that Great Grandfather inherent to us…I’m sure that I can reach that Tree.

“I understand why are acting like this.”

“No…you don’t understand.” No one understood me. I thought Ester finally the one who I can share my feeling and complexity that I’ve been bottling up inside of me.

“I do. I’m with you all the time. Don’t pretend that it didn’t happen to me also.” Right, but it he’s fault for for making an oath. He shouldn’t have experience it if he didn’t let me share his body.

That time when father is alive and Ester is still in his curse throne.

Father…hit us everytime after Mother and Grandma died. He always says mean things to us. I can say that we have experience all kinds of abuse; physical, emotional, and s****l abuse.

Grandfather is bedridden so he can’t do anything about it. All he always say is, ‘Sorry’ while kneeling in front of us and holding our small hand even though he cannot stand up and move to much but he pushed himself just to say those words.

He’s a kind person. I don’t know where his son get that trait of being abusive.

“No, you don’t.” I’ve been sexually abuse since I could remember.

“Rem, I’m telling you that Person is not Ester.”

“You don’t need to defend her, Rom. Stop.”

“Rem!”

A small rustling sound heard at my right end.

“Shh…Do you heard that?” I whispered.

“Yes…”

We followed the rustling sound.

“I’m full!” we heard some said.

“That Fairy really do cook delicious food!”

“We’re lucky that they appeared or we would have nothing to eat and will keep on steal food from Marsh Ao Kingdom.”

I gasped.

Did I heard it right? Are they the one been stealing our stock in the storage area?

“We should report this to Lorelie, Rom.”

“I agree but first, we need to investigate.”

I brushed off the bush that is covering my line of sight. I made a hole enough the see the thieves.

I look at them and they have all the same faces and clothes. And, I can’t but to scream…enough for them hear me.

They looked at me at the same time.

I feel the creepiness soaring throughout my body.

Rom is right. It’s not Ester the one that I just saw before.

Now, I don’t know what to think if I should run or laugh of my situation right now because in front of me are… a Group of Ester’s.

“What do we have here?”

They hit my head with a branch and I lose my consciousness.

Ester POV.

I heard what happened, while I was kidnapped there’s an imposter pretending to be me and worst than that, the imposter is a glutton.

I have to report this to everyone.

I head towards the Fairy’s House.

“Fairy, wake up.” I shale her body to waken her up.

“...What?” She moaned. “You still want to eat..? We’re out of food. Go to bed.” She covered his face with a blanket.

“It’s not me! It’s an imposter.” I explained it to her.

“Don’t make an excuse.”

“I can last up to months without eating, I prefer not to eat than let my people starve.” She looked at me.

“So, it’s not really you?”

“I’ve been kidnapped by elves and I just escaped.”

I explained it to her what happened this morning and at the Elves’s Home.

“I called a meeting. They are on their way.”

“Let’s go and meet them.”

Magic System.

‘Yes.’

You said that you can detect the intruders near the barrier. Then, are there any elves near the parameter and did you told me about the Imposter that came in here also how did they come in?

‘Regarding of the Imposter, Yes, I told you about it but you were unconscious and they get in because it’s their land we are standing on, they have the authorization to come in and out here.’

You should have told me sooner about that there’s something kind of rule.

’10 unconscious elves detected at 10 meter.’ Unconscious? Are they camping and fell asleep there?

‘Rem and Rom detected at 10 meter.’ What are they doing there? Have they also notice the elves?

“Fairy, you go ahead. I will catch up to you.”

“Don’t be late.” She head towards the Mansion and I went to the opposite direction.
