Chapter 2
"My lord, the Holy Monk of Pineapple Island has sent dreams to two of the chosen ones. That means that three people are left."
"Excellent. Splendid work, Miss Kimberly"
Kim bowed as a sign of respect, "Your compliment is most appreciated, my lord"
As Kim left the room, a sly grin appeared on the Dark Lord's face.
"I feel so hurt", he said, in mock agony, "Brother Dearest has already started the prophecy without me."
"No matter, that just makes things more interesting, doesn't it?"
'Agnes...'
Those voices again.
'Agnes...'
Who are you? Show yourself at once!
'We are all that surrounds you...'
Agnes turned her head from left to right.
But all I see are...trees...
'Precisely '
How? How can you communicate with me?
'It is you and not us who possesses that power'
What do you mean?
'Touch one of us'
Agnes did what she was told.
'Now, give us a command..'
Agnes rubbed her chin as if she had a beard and them smiled playfully.
I want you guys to drop fruits on everybody's heads!
'Consider it done...'
The trees did not lie. Soon, yelps of pain were heard as every single tree dropped some fruit.
"What the blazes is going on here!",said someone"First I see a girl staring at trees and now this!"
"Excuse me..",said Agnes, clearing her throat,"the colour green is supposed to be good for your eyes and since I am myopic, staring at green items is most advisable for the personnel such as myself"
The other person just stared at her and ran away
Agnes laughed her head off at that poor fellow.
That was fun! Can I do it again?
"No...there is no time..."
I don't remember being on any deadlines...
"The chosen ones shall meet ,you cannot be behind the prophecy"
"That mad girlie was probably the cause of all this" whispered some people who thought she could not hear
Agnes looked at them and put on the biggest grin she could conjure up
"I'm sorry, but could you say that a little louder?" she said, "I didn't quite catch it"
As expected, they backed off immediately.
Agnes didn't really have a lot of friends. As her habit of showing infinite ecstasy drove everyone away. She didn't really care, though. 'Socializing leads to weaker self-control', she would always tell to herself, "The lesser the 'friends', the lesser the distractions"
---
Her heart was beating wildly. Each second seemed like an hour. She dashed past a curb and into an alley.
"You idiot over there! Stop running! Heel!" yelled the leader from behind. That yell made her run faster.
She sped ahead, squinting for a little hole to hide in.
"Darn it!"
Right in front of her was a huge wall. "Looks like we have a dead end, now eh?" mused the leader.
"What do you want?" she replied, shaking frantically.
"You betrayed us! We want to teach you a lesson!"she smirked. The girls behind her cheered her on.
"Denise! I did it for the gang's good!" She explained.
Denise broke out into hysterical laughter. "And to think we actually thought you had what it takes to join us?",she said"Well then, past mistakes should be put aside and not grieved over, after all, revenge always goes to first priority"
The gang edged closer and Florence pushed backwards until she felt her back brush against the wall.
"Shit",she swore
"Don't worry,Dearie, this wouldn't hurt a bit"
"NOOOOOOOOOO!",shrieked Florence.The trees in that area began swaying furiously.Clothlines gave way to the disastrous wind, letting pieces of clothware fly around.Those clothing looked as if they were alive, as they started swirling around the girls.
"What the…" murmured Denise. Before they realized what that was, they were a second too late. "RUUU….." shouted Denise. She could not finish the word. Both her and her gang were blown away.
"Wow…" muttered Florence in awe. She stared at her hands. "Totally magic…totally…" she whispered.
