Dauphine of Tsyu
Chapter 5
It's been over a month since I left my home planet. I am amazed I have gone this long without it. The memories are still fresh in my mind, but I am creating newer, happier ones every day here on Earth. I only wish there were a place where I'd have true privacy.
On Earth, I am never alone. I am afraid it is because I haven't transformed in such a long while that I have not been feeling well lately. To become a unicorn in public was just unheard of. My mother always warned me that disastrous things might happen. I always thought she meant that someone would kidnap me, or try to kill me. Now I'm wondering if there's more I should protect myself from, some other dangers.
I lay on my bed gazing outside at the cloudy night sky. My mind just got lost in itself. It took me a moment to realize someone was knocking on my door.
"Kiyomi, come on I know you're not deaf. Let me in," I heard Davis call from outside the door. I jumped at his voice and hurried to let him in.
"Oh, Davis, I'm sorry. I was just daydreaming." Davis nodded and just looked at me as if he hadn't seen me in a long time. "So why did you want to see me?"
He shook himself back into reality and brushed his hair back. "Oh, well you know tomorrow you'll be leaving." I nodded as if to say, what else is new. "We won't be able to see one another for nine months. But now it seems that won't have to be the case," he said happily.
"What do you mean? You're too old to go to the school," I said.
"You're right. A twenty-year-old couldn't go to school as a student, and I couldn't be a teacher. But I hear they have a lack of outdoor coaches."
"What?"
"I just received a letter from Madame Hooch, the Quidditch instructor. The witches and wizards can't use magic for everything you know. They need to train their bodies, so it seems I am the one they want to get you students into shape."
I stared at him, and placed my hands on my hips as I examined him. "Why did they pick you? You're a muggle," I said playfully.
"Well this muggle was the best soccer player and sports star the future planet Earth ever saw," he replied as proudly. I smiled and wrapped my arms about his neck.
"I don't know about being a sports star, but I do know that you are my hero, and I am glad that you'll always be nearby." He nodded and brought his lips to mine. This time I didn't pull back.
