Chapter two-A new beginning.
879 Words
It’s calm … peaceful…as I never would have imagined before .
I sense myself floating diligently in this unreal combination of life and death .
In the end , it’s not different from life…meaningless, I thought .
As I continued this endless interior debate, a voice resonated violently in my heart .
A wave of colors took me off guard as I saw vanishing this completely insane reality i was in .
Suddenly an overwhelming feeling took place .I sensed myself trying to hang on , trying to escape violently this uneasy sensation .
“Breath”
It was the only word I could hear deep inside .But as soon as I heard it , all the confusion wavered and an intense desire took the lead.
I have to try at least this once … that was what my heart was whispering inside .
I remember…
Just once…
please…
Help me…
‘ALCA’
As soon as this name was called upon, all those colours became instantly white and with all my strength I gathered the energy left in me and shouted silently Kairos …
“ Breath , Breath , Breath”
I took my throat by the hands as I sensed the air flowing violently into it .
I was shaking and my eyes were blurred by the sudden light .
What? What exactly happened just now ?!
I closed my eyes . I have to think . What was that ? Where am I ? Am I still alive ? Or was it all my own delusion ?
But a voice brought me suddenly on earth .
“Your highness ? Are you okay? ”
Pointed this gentle voice toward me .
I shivered, not knowing how to react as I opened my eyes again, looking at those of the young worried maid facing me .
“ Janne? ” I whispered , not knowing what was happening .
“ Yes, my lady ? ” she said, probably confused by my reaction .
I jumped off the bed I was on but suddenly an immense pain took place in my head, obliging me to stand back waiting for this pain to disappear while watching the maid hysterically going outside searching for help .
I looked at my hands and touched my hair gently as if to make sure I was really alive .
But … but all that had happened…this disgusting feeling…this profound sadness…All of them were real . I thought while trembling .
Suddenly I remember …
Kairos …
No... impossible …
I jumped off of this bed for real this time and ran off, regardless of the pain , bumping into the other maids that Janne got there .
If that’s true …
I wanna know …Now . If there is a chance …A chance that it worked …
I wanna see for myself …
I continued to run and run into that confusing yet familiar place, searching for hope …searching for them all over this dream like mansion . This fussy memory of a place I despised and hated before , but which is now my one and only way to find what I ignored before . The truth …
I continued running and running . Please…
I covered my eyes that were blurred by the sudden light of the outside world . But I could still see those silhouettes far away . I approached silently those people still not believing what was happening . Suddenly, I heard the sound of the maids calling me from behind, which attracted those people's attention towards me . I could see the confusion in their eyes . I ignored the maids that run after me and continued to approach them, watching each and everyone before stopping suddenly sensing this warm liquid blurring my eyes once again .
I touched my cheeks, shaken by this unlikely reaction of me but couldn’t stop myself from crying , crying more and more as I screamed toward the one that I hurt the most .
“papa…papa…papa…i apologize…I’m sorry…papa”
I continued crying and apologising, facing him…facing them . I continued to cry, standing still without getting closer . Fearing that if I got near them, all of this could disappear in an instant .
As I tried to stop the tears from flowing, I sensed someone approaching and getting closer to me .
Suddenly, I opened my eyes and could only see those two people watching me worrying about what was going on while trying to comfort me . Watching this eight-year-old child that never acted like one , here barefoot crying and apologising to the people she hated the most must have been really confusing , I thought . But I couldn’t stop .I continued to cry before sensing someone hugging me gently and patting my head .
“Calm down…all will be alright” were the last words I heard before closing slowly my eyes in my father's hands and before the gaze of all of them .
This time I can finally see it , I finally have this chance, this chance to correct this corrupted past , to repent and to protect , to avenge and to forgive , a chance to correct this wrong written story …
