Ch 6 ~ Koshi and Seizm
As Ira neared the school, she braced herself for taunting words and evil stares once again. After all, she knew they all thought she was insane with an uncanny sense. Maybe she was…her constant dreams about a forbidden land named Orpheus reminded her that she just might be a "freak".
However, when she crossed walked right through the gate, the whispers and murmurs were not for her this time. There had been another mysterious new student, gliding urbanely past her. His appearance was a bit messy and laid back, however his looks were far from imaginable. With his stunning green eyes, he turned slowly toward her.
"Ah no", a girl behind him said quickly. "She is not one of us. She's as strange as hell. You don't want to know her. Really, you don't"
The new young man seemed to suddenly turn dour at the girl behind him. "I look for uniqueness in a friend", he told her and walked away, towards Ira.
As he neared, a sudden feeling inside of her turned. A sickly feeling ran through her and her head began to ache. She had seen someone like this man before. He must have been…
"Hello" the deep voice broke through her thoughts, and Ira tried to force a smile. Her mouth was dry, and the only face she was able to make was a wry half smirk.
"Hel", she stopped and cleared the lump in her throat. "Hello"
The girl's sudden awkward behavior seemed to amuse him. "I am…Koshi", he said in a nonchalant way, extending his hand to her.
As she shook his hand, she felt a shock run through her. She knew who this was…She had seen him somewhere before. But where? TV? A dream? She wasn't sure, but those deep eyes were definitely familiar.
"Nice to meet you", she choked on her words. She knew that many of the other students in the schoolyard were staring, but she cared no longer. Suddenly, she knew who he was. It was him…the mysterious figure who had appeared in her room a few days ago. She was positive.
"And you are…", he began.
Ira leaned in quickly and whispered in his ear, "Don't play dumb with me, Seizm. You know who I am"
Smirking faintly, the young man raised his index finger. "Lady Ira, you are smarter than I thought. But, I am Koshi here in their world. Our worlds cannot be known to the common people on Earth. Do you understand?"
"No I don't understand", she hissed back. "You appear in my room telling me I am Lady of the Omega and Orpheus. And now…you come to my school and spy on me? Am I supposed to understand this? Am I supposed to believe you………."
Seizm placed his raised finger on her mouth for a moment, and then moved it down to the girl's necklace, where there was an empty spot. "There is nothing here…you are supposed to have the last stone of Orpheus. You're supposed to have the Omicrox. If you don't want to believe me, Lady, then explain to me why you have a necklace with an empty twisted silver lining for a pendant?"
Ira said nothing, and looked away. As she did, her eyes fell upon a blonde girl watching her. It was the same blonde girl who had offered her cookies the day before. What was this? Was the whole entire planet playing a sick game on her? Who WAS she really? A tear slipped through her eye as she looked down at the empty pendant she wore. Nothing made sense to her now. Nothing.
"I will find you the Omicrox", his deep voice ran out again. "I feel its presence near. When you wear it, things will make more sense. But for the time being, I must guide you. I am not spying on you, Lady. Queen Ahraune has given me this mission. There is not much time…"
Ira opened her mouth to say something, but the sudden sound of the school bells ringing stopped her. She looked up into a pair of deep green eyes. "I just want to know who I am", she whispered, and walked away from him, towards the school.
