Life is worse than Hell

An enemy or a friend?

"No! Please, I don't wanna die!" I yell while he is raising his hands, then I find out that I am not frozen anymore. He has freed me! I stare at him for seconds, he still seems disbelieving me, but I don't care, I just have to get back to my private school before I get punished. "You forgot to ask me about the way!" He says while rubbing his chin slightly as if he is a wise old man. I try to find a good answer and end up running away from him, but I'm not fast enough, he freezes the ground and I'm not good at skating on ice, so I slip and fall. "Oh, God! What is wrong with you? Why don't you just let me go?" I say and glare at him. He smiles calmly, and I'm not gonna lie, I love his smile.

"You are not from Ice Kingdom city, and you don't even belong to the Ice nation, so I can't let you go without knowing your identity and your mission." He says. "I wasn't in a mission, I just went to a place I was not supposed to go to and ended up being stuck here with you!" I say while breathing heavily because of the pain in my leg and my ankle, I think they are sore. "Why were you following me then?" He says while looking at me with suspense. "I was not following you! I don't even know who you are." I say. "I believe you don't know me... Because you're not afraid of me and this isn't good for you, but still I know you were following me, I need to know why to let you go." "OK! I was following you! But not because I wanted to hurt you or something, actually I was trying to warn you. You were standing in an illegal area, you could have gotten hurt if someone found out about it." I explain to him and look down to my feet.

"Is that so? You wanted to warn me? Haha! I always go there and nothing happens to me. Ministers and royal families can be there any time they want to, but for you, it is illegal and being here is against our law, but since you had a noble cause, I might let you go with it." He said and my heart started to jump. "OH, sir, thank you! I will appreciate it for life." I said with cheer then I wanted to stand on my feet to go, but he stopped me. "You can't go yet!" He grabbed my arm and it felt so cold, but my heart was boiling inside, "why is that, sir?" I mumbled. "Because your leg isn't fine, let me take care of it." He points his hand toward my leg, gradually, the pain goes away which amazes me more. "Thank you, I have to go now," I say while trying to go, but he stops me again! "You didn't tell me what your name or where you are from." "I'm sorry, but I don't know you, and I can't reveal anything unless I were supposed to," I say while praying inside that he will let me go this time. "OK. I will tell you everything you want to know about me if you come here tomorrow." He says with a smile that encourages me to get back here and see it again. "Why do you want me to come back here? I thought it is not allowed for strangers to be here." I say. "I want us to be friends," he says, and that makes me go mad, yeah, definitely I wanna be your friend. "OK. My name is Hono, I will tell you where I'm from tomorrow, now I have to get home before dusk or I will be dead," I say while smiling back to him. "Can't wait to see you again, Hono," he says while taking my hand, he kisses it which gets me feeling like I am being melted by an ICE-BENDER! Oh, God! "M me tt too, sir," I stumble. He lets go of my hand, I start to walk then he calls me, "Hono!" "What?" I ask. "This is not the right direction! Unless you want to come and stay at my home." I slap my forehead in embarrassment and go the other way, I look back to see the guy still standing and smiling at me. I wave at him while heading to my land, "Thanks for telling me! Bye for now!" "Bye, Hono!"

On my way home, I smile every time I remember what has just happened, it was like a dream! What a fabulous person I've just met! I didn't know his name, and I forgot to ask him if he was a minister or something, or he might be one of the royal family, oh no way!
