"Lost in that daydream of yours?" said the red head waitress, sliding a hot tray of tea towards her.
"Huh? O-oh no I was just…" Luisa silently looked down and closed her eyes; she felt something staring at her so she slowly opened them back up.
The old confused waitress stared awkwardly into Luisa eyes.
"Oh goodness child, you must be playing tricks with me. Is that book over there, yours?"
She said pointing at a slim sized volume, which had gold leather around it. And a tightly sealed letter stuck out with an old map of Ireland. She nodded and picked it, lying was something she never did. But the book was covered in gold leather. Bet you would have lied too right?
"Ah yes— that book of yours is quite special, special indeed. Are you searching for the king?" the waitress sat down across from Luisa and rubbed her aching hands over her apron.
"W-what do you mean by the king?" I asked more interested in the stranger.
"The King Child, the king. I know this because I'm a tarot malady." She stood up and slightly bowed. Luisa stared at the women confused than smiled shyly. "Has he visited you yet? You must hurry and go to "Southern Dublin". She said glancing out the window and noticing a young blond child. Her sea green eyes glared back with a blank continuous stare, she suddenly snapped out of it and started to run.
"Ye must be wondering who that be of? She probably a follower of them, ye must leave immediately and finish your quest." She looked down and coughed silently into her palm. The waitress grabbed a hold of her palm and yanked her out the door. "Hurry, we must catch her."
The old woman was faster than her age. She was far from where I was. The woman leaped into the air and tackled the girl, causing her to yelp out in pain.
"I caught her," She coughed out. Luisa hurried and turned the corner. She saw the little girl; she was young, and pretty. She silently turned around; her breathing was shallow. Her ascent was perfect American.
"I-I'm Bliss," She said softly, her voice near a soft whisper.
"He he– looks like you finally caught me, Old women. She giggled out. Her blond curls jumped around with her. Bliss was wearing a plush velvet dress of the darkest green that was almost a black color―– that dramatically offset her cascading fair hair curls. She had lightly tanned skin and ivory complexion that looker almost translucent against the deep rich, dark jeweled color of the gown. It had a bodice embroidered with thousands of crystals that twinkled against the fabric like stars in the night sky. She slowly bowed, her eyes glaring angrily towards the ground.
" I'm very sorry malady." Bliss said.
Confused and shocked at the awkward situation she was in, I smiled and bowed back.
Bliss looked at her confused, "Um…Malady?"
The waitress smacked her palm against Luisa head and scolded her.
"Please Malady. You mustn't bow at your own people. You are the queen anyways. And plus all of them never bowed at their people before. I lowered her glare and looked at bliss. She lightly placing my palm on her shoulder and smiled sweetly. "Well if I'm going to be a queen I guess I'll be the first to do the opposite of the previous queen and have a little fun!" But I must go. I was supposed to meet a friend somewhere. She thanked them and slowly turned away. They handed her some useful items and let her own her way. Bliss blank stare lingered behind, until she appeared right next to her. I stared at the girl and let out a soft sigh.
"I'm sorry malady–,"
"Luisa, My name is Luisa! Please call me that Bliss." I cut her off smiling.
"Luisa, please let me go with you, please!" She stared up at Luisa. I bit down softly on her lips, and thought about it.
I felt something watching us; a split second later. An object blind to the human eye, flew straight towards Bliss with incredible swiftness.
"Huh? Bliss watch out!" She quickly pushed her out the way getting struck with by a sharp object. Bliss rolled back hitting against a tree. She cussed softly and looked around for Luisa. Luisa breathing became shallow, and she slowly shut her eyes.
"Luisa?"
"LUISA!" No answer.
Bliss screaming slowly faded out and it became silent. The world stopped moving. The back of my head throb, but I couldn't open my eyes. I struggled to move my body blind. My arms are moving; I guess I am alive to.
