Illness

Chapter 1- Secret

I do not belong in the light, I was always in the shadows. When I play with some children at the park with hide and seek, they always forget to find me. When I grew up, everything was still the same, they don't notice me in school. Not only in school but also in the restaurants, field trips and other occasions. My parents also abandoned me at the age of 8, they say I'm just worthless. I only slept at the park, no one even notices me when I'm soaked wet from the rain.

I have no home, no friends, and I have no family. But one day, everything changed, when I was 11, there were seven of them. I looked at them, they're so popular, everybody greeted them casually. Some fan girls and boys were screaming, like 'You look beautiful! Can you sing for me and etc.'

I just looked at them from the side, swinging the swing slowly. One of them looked at me, he had a silver hair and a pair of sapphire eyes. He said something to his other companions and they looked at me. I was freaked out, so I stood up and turned to leave.

"Hey, don't leave " a calm voice said and it came from the silver haired boy. I looked back at them and they smiled, I was shocked. I thought nobody notices me like I'm invisible from this world.

"Wh-what do you want from me?" my eyes widen as they came nearer. I squeezed the once white dress of mine.

"Hey, we won't hurt you~ What's you're name?" a girl with pink pigtails said in a childish way, Or maybe that is her way of talking, I thought but shrugged it off. "M-my name i-is Arme" I was still kinda freaked out, why do they even bother talk to me?

"Oh... Now where do you live?"

"I have no place to live in" Their eyes widened a bit but then softened. The girl with blond locks held out a hand to me, I raised a brow in confusion. "Come, we'll give you a place to live in" her voice was so inviting, and so warm.

I hesitated at first on taking her offer but then I just accepted it.

｡◕‿‿ ◕｡

I smiled as I remembered on how I got here in this mansion and how I got a new family. But I didn't told them whole story of my life. I kept it very safe and let them not be suspicious of me for some reasons of mine.

"Hey Arme!Hurry up, we're gonna be late for school" oh, and our school for warriors where archers, mages, thiefs,fighters,knights,druids, oh and dancers too.

I ran going downstairs, and saw all of them. Amy, Jin, Ronan, Elesis, Lire, Ryan and Lass waiting for me. My smile grew wider, "Hey, why so cheerful today?" Elesis asked me, the redhead. "Nothing! C'mon let's go or we'll be late" then we were off to school.

When we reached there, we and I mean WE were very popular, greeted casually and being surrounded by some fans. But to be honest, I didn't like being in the spotlight. Then the bell rang, of course, we need to go to our respective rooms where in each class were separated.

I didn't expect you to become a popular little girl...

Who was that? I looked around but found no one. A sold breeze came by and goose bumps were appearing on my arms. I ran towards the training spot for mages, I panted hard, it was really far. The farthest training spot was for the mages because we cast spells like fire bolts.

Hey, remember me Arme?

I looked around again but still there was no sign of anyone suspicious. "Hey Arme can you teach me how to cast Reverse Gravity?" Joyce, my close friend came and asked me. "Of course. First concentrate your mana then move your hands like this" I showed her the right position of my hands,"Then cast it, Reverse Gravity" I made a dummy go upwards then fall back, making it half because of the impact.

Joyce did as I said and successfully making the dummy go up the fall, bu she only made the dummy crack a little. "Yes that's good Joyce, you just have to concentrate more" she nodded and thanked me. Then she proceeded on practicing it again and again.

All the practicing mages looked upon me as a great mage because of my skills and techniques in battles. I sat at the corner, thinking about that voice, it does sound familiar.

Arme, I'll tell you my name, It's K-

But suddenly I blacked out before hearing her name, my illness was starting again...

｡◕‿‿ ◕｡

I woke up in a comfy bed, and I already know where I am. White walls, white curtains, it's obviously in the hospital. I sat up in the bed and looked at the sky. Then the door opened and Lire came inside. I looked at her, I can see it in her eyes that she is worried for me but they don't even know why I blacked out right?

"Arme, they say that you were perfectly fine, nothing was wrong but why did you collapsed?" She asked me as she sat beside my bed. This illness of mine isn't detectable, so I have no worries. "I don't know Lire, maybe I'm just tired, that's all" And I gave her a reassuring smile.

Then the others came in too with a nurse. She checked my pulse and touched my forehead to see if I had a fever but then she just said, "She's fine, she'll be discharged now if you would like to" I nodded at her, I don't really like being at hospitals.

But most of all I really am disappointed that I didn't got the name of the voice. Why is my illness at a wrong timing, It has been a long time before my illness started "activating" and why does it have to be now.

"There, you may go now" Then we all left the hospital. We ate dinner after that at a restaurant, I only ate a little, didn't have the appetite to eat unlike Elesis who ate like a pig but still she kept her manners because of Ronan who kept scolding her.

I could really guess that Elesis and Ronan would end up with each other. Jin and Amy also, I have known that because of their actions, like how Amy treat Jin very special and Jin on how he overprotects Amy.

Well back to what I was thinking, I am very sleepy!~ that's all I could think as I let out a yawn. "Hey guys can I go home now, I'm sleepy" And I let out another yawn. "Alright, now finish what you're eating Elesis" Ronan said, he too was getting sleepy, I could see it from the he acts and he also let out a yawn.

*Yawn* I'm sleepy~ so Nyt Nyt *Falls asleep then mumbles something* Re..view..
