"Walking thought the streets of Paris, the sweet scent of blooming flowers filled the air, the summer sun burned deliciously over my skin and the warm breeze surrounded me in a welcoming embrace...suddenly I was dancing, as everyone else at the rhythm of The Piano... the music fulfilled the empty space and kissed my soul... it was worshiping Life, Life itself...the happiness that transmitted was amazingly comfortable and without noticing it I started singing..singing as the angels do... singing with such a glee and force that I could feel the sound leaving my lips.. and I was happy... I was happy form being at home...
It had all been a wonderful dream, just a dream...a dream I longed for. The mystic city, the summer sun, the welcoming breeze, but most of all The Piano and the happiness that it's music made by delightful notes brought to me...deep in my soul...deep in my heart...
"Daydreaming again?" I heard Elane asking
I blushed but managed to answer "Sorry, it won't happen again"
But her reaction called my attention; she just smiled and said "Just follow your heart"
Follow your heart? What's that supposed to mean? Why is she telling me to follow my heart?... but then again it was Elane saying this.. and we all knew by now that Elane most of the time spoke ambiguous thoughts...when we first met her we all thought that she had escaped from a mental institution... she had short hair dyed in a bright green, she wore a necklace with something written on it in a language unknown to us and a long skirt with flowers in all the colors you can imagine...all herself was something odd to us... not normal... it was crazy.. it was... it was psychedelic...we all thought she was mad.
Oh but how wrong we were, very wrong... she is and was the best teacher we ever had, though we still thought she was a bit loony. I was part of the theater pullout and Elane was in charge of us, she wanted for us to address her by her name, we once asked her why and she told us that being called miss, teacher or professor or any other synonym that represented authority over others made her sick and reminded her to Ms. Connor, who was, when she was studying, one of the worst and evil educators she had had. She explained that she liked to be seen by her students as an equal, as part of the same team and not as a teacher...so more than being a teacher she was a friend.
"Love" she said to me as I walked past her "Yes Elane?" I responded "Would you like to be in charge of the props for the play?" Elane asked with hope in her n charge of the eyes. Everybody hated to be in charge of the props, so nobody had offered and I knew that I was her last and only hope, so I accepted to do the job. "Sure, why not?" I said "Oh thank you very much dear" She said giving me a big bear hug "No prob, don't worry" as I said and walked off with the sheet of paper she had given me
We all knew that Elane was trying to make a new play, but every time we asked about what it was going to be about she just giggled and said "It's going to be something magical". We were all curious to know, she had given every single one of us a task but we still had neither script nor nothing that could give us a clue, and the prop list wasn't helping either.
Props -White Piano (real)
That couldn't be right, could it?.. I ran towards Elnae and asked her
"Erm..Elane?" "Yes dear?" "I think that the list is wrong" "Why's that love?" "Well, there's only a piano in the list as in props" "I know" "Nani?...I don't get it" "Okay, I think its time for all of you what's the play going to be about" she said "Come up everyone, gather up!!"
When we were all sitting in a circle she said "Okay, remember that I told you that this was going to be a magical play?" we all nodded "Well, we have a new student in school that just moved from town and I've been talking to him for a month or so, and he agreed on joining us, he's going to be the main character of the play, okay?" she explained
Before she could continue with what she was saying all of us started demanding and shouting and asking questions about everything but most of all complaining.
"But why?" "What's it gonna be about?" "Who's he?" "Why until now?" "Elane!!!" "But we don't even know him" "Is he here?"
in that moment she stood up and said "Calm down, clam down, yes he's here, I'll be giving you the scripts soon, , yes you will meet him, no this is not similar to the other plays we have done, calm down people, we still have plenty of time don't worry, and no Renald there's no bloody scenes but a few deaths, yes Marie there's going to be some romance, and don't put that face Mark don't worry it won't be all pinkish, you'll have suspense and action too... yes I know people but let me finish..."
After she had answered most of our questions she said "Well, so I think that you will love to meet him and you will just wait" someone shouted "Is he here?" ..."Yes he's here"
"Nat you can now on don't be shy, they don't bite... or at least not that I know"
I saw everybody's expression, they were astonished but I couldn't see him right away because he was standing at my back, but when I turned and saw him I was paralyzed...
My blood stopped running, my heart froze, I stopped breathing, my senses got lost... I was shocked..
"Guys this is Nathaniel, he's gonna be Alexi, the main character of the play so make him feel at home remember he's new, be nice to him" Elane said cheerful
were my eyes watching an illusion or was he real?...I couldn't believe it"
The phone rang and I answered "Hey Nahira, what are you doing?" ... it was Karaein
"Just finished reading chapter one of the new books that I bought" I said
"Really? Is it nice?"
"Well, I just started"
"Well if it's worth it I will borrow it, okay?"
"Lol, sure"
"Hey you're a lucky girl!! I'm jealous"
"Hu?"
"You got the new guy, what's his name?"
"Daryel something I guess"
"Yeah him, I got to do the science project with him!"
"Yeah whatever"
"Aren't you happy bout that? He's a babe!"
"Lol, yeah he's quite handsome and everything but I have better things to do than the dull project"
"Other things?"
"Yeah, you know family stuff"
"Oh! The thing that you can't tell because is top secret or something like that?" "Yup"
"Oh, okay"
"Hey Kar do you have plans for tonight?"
"No why? Wanna go out?"
"Hell yeah"
"But you know you can't"
"I know that silly, but I'm not staying here"
"Lol, mischievous girl"
"Jajaja yeah and proud to be so"
"So where do you wanna go?"
"I heard there's an underground club, we can go there"
"Underground club? And hey do you want me to be out of your house?"
"Yeah as in illegal club, you need to hang out more girl!, oh yes please but be punctual okay? I don't wan to wait for you an hour like last time okay?"
"Lol sure, don't worry"
"Shit! Gotta go my mom's coming"
"Okz see ya at night"
"Aha, see ya"
I heard the footsteps of my mother approaching, and just when I hung up she entered
"Hey Nahira are you going to eat something?" she asked
"No mother that's fine I'm not hungry, thanx anyway" I responded
"Okay as you wish" she said "Oh and by the way me and your father are going to go out okay? So you will be alone with Ariel, be nice to him okay?"
"With him? Why? Can't you trust me mother?" I said with a bit of humor
"Behave Nahira and he's your guardian and you must respect him, clear?" "Yes mother, don't worry"
"Well then, be a good girl" she said giving me a kiss
"I'm always a good girl mother" I responded but she was already out of the room
Sure, I'm always a good girl mom don't worry, that's why I'm clubbing tonight!
"Daryel, are you coming?" she said
"Not now, I'll be going later" he responded
"As you wish" she said
Can't believe that my race has fallen so low... opening a club... how disgraceful... and opened for humans too...
...well, we have to give Ardion some credit... in a way the club means: food a la carte....
Daryel then disappeared in a blink of an eye and apparated at the club, the music was so loud that though he was a living corpse he could feel the vibrations of the music all over him, and the moving neon lights made it difficult not to bump into someone, not because it bothered him, but because humans weren't immortal creatures with unnatural powers...
Karaein was waiting for Nahira outside her house and to her own amazement she was on time. She had brought with her the cell phone and was dialing Nahira.
Ring.....ring....
"Are you already here?" Nahira whispered
"Yes" she responded
"How punctual, didn't expected that" Nahira said in a whisper
"Well, there are always first times you know?" Karaein said
"Jaja, yes I know, okay now listen" Nahira said
"Go on, I'm listening" she responded
"Okay, my guardian is about to check if I'm in my room, after he goes I'm gonna get out through he window and jump the fence, okay?" Nahira esplained
"Ermm, okay but doesn't your mom has security all over your house?" Karaein asked
"Indeed, but don't worry, I think I know what to do" Nahira whispered
"Nahira?" Karaein asked
"Nahira are you there?" she asked "Nahira say something"
"Shhh" Nahira answered
The next thing that Karaein heard was the phone in the other line drop dead
"Oh god, I hope her guardian didn't hear us" Karaein spoke her thoughts out loud
Nahira had heard the footsteps of her guardian coming closer and had hung up... she heard how the sound grew louder as he was nearer... and then, it stopped, and there was a knock...
"Nahira may I come in?" her guardian asked
"Sure Ravaeyn, come in" She responded
"Hi Nahira, sorry you know it is my job" Ravaeyn said apologizing
"I know Ravaeyn, don't worry" she responded
"Your mother told me that you already knew that she wasn't going to be here, and that you were already informed of the situation" Ravaeyn said
"Yes, don't worry, I'm aware and I will not cause you any troubles" Nahira said with a sweet smile in her face
"I'm glad to hear that, as sweet as always" He said leaving her room and she just smile
Yes, as sweet as always Ravaeyn, as sweet as always
After she was completely sure that Ravaeyn was not near she changed of clothes, minutes earlier she was wearing jeans and a black t-shirt and sneakers, but now she was wearing black leather pants and black matching leather V cut shirt with no sleeves that made the sight of her clevelage almost perfect and the tight pants outlined her perfect but... she knew she was pretty but she always denied it, why? Well maybe it was modesty, maybe it was shyness, or maybe she sometimes doubted it herself...
As she finished doing her makeup she locked her door and programmed her stereo to shut off in an hour and a half. She cautiously opened her window and silently stepping out and entering the dark and mystifying garden her mother owned.
Okay... now that she was in the garden it was: Show time!
Hpf... think, come on think, how can I manage to get out of here? There are... wait... 1,2,4... okay 6 guards... I need to do something big enough to drag their attention away from the tree... then I can climb up and jump over the fence... although it would be easier if I could do something already while on the tree... oh great, this can't be worse...
And then it happened... the spark inside her rose and in a blink of an eye she now knew what to do... she didn't understood how that could possibly happen but something deep within her whispered to trust her instincts.
This is mad...it just won't work... arg! Stop thinking!... this will be fine... and it's possible... I think... no... don't think.... Just do it...
She had to create a distraction big enough to entertain the guards so she could get out, and her so called instincts were guiding her in a very funny way...she was nervous but not scared... she knew she could do it, her grandmother before dying told her the family secret and how to use it and since then she had been practicing secretly... but no one knew she could do that but her grandmother, and she had passed away long time ago... I know I can do this...just concentrate...
The wind blew at night making Nahira's hair dance with the wind while she focused her sight while being on top of the tree near the fence into a single spot in the enormous garden. Her mother had a Willow tree in the warden and she loved it, we could say that it was something sacred to her but this night it will be helpful in another way...She closed her eyes and took a deep breathe and pictured in her mind the tree and then she opened those beautiful eyes that now burned in flames and as she slowly moved her hands from bottom to the top of her head in an S form as if dancing the Sacred Willow went up in fierce amber flames that danced around the Willow...Sorry mother, but I couldn't think of anything else...
The guards were astonished...how could a tree just be set on fire just because? There had to be a reason but the was no time for thinking, the went into action searching in that area of the garden for burglars or spies and in that moment Nahira turned, jumped over the fence without being noticed and quietly running went where her best friend was hidden.
"Karaein?" she whispered "answer be you little brat, where are you?" Nahira said "Is it you?" Karaein answered back in a frightened whisper
"Of course it is me you idiot, come on lets go before they see us" Nahira said
As they ran away from Nahira's house Karaein was wondering how in the world her best friend had escaped from the prison that was to be called "Home" . They stopped running when they say that they were safe and took a break in order to breathe and see where they were...
"Where are we?" Karaein asked
"Don't worry we are very near the club" Nahira answered
"Okay, now remind me why are we going there?"
"To have some fun you silly plus you can by means of destiny meat your dream prince" Nahira said laughing out loud
"Shut up! Well it may sound silly but on the contrary of many people that I know ahem ahem I DO want to get married and have a family" Karaein answered in a very don't-talk-to-me tone
"Ah come on, you know I'm just joking around with you, you know how much I care and I don't think it's a silly idea, it's just your dream, as I have my own, that's all. Come on we're just 2 blocks from the cub" Nahira said
As they walked in the showy and cold dark street Nahira remembered a poem made by one of her favorite authors:
"Our fantasy became our doom" Nahira whispered her thought out loud without realizing it
"What did u said?" Karaein asked
"Oh nothing, I was just remembering a poem I read" Nahira answered back
"Oh, okay" Karaein answered
In that precise instant Nahira lost track of time and space and wondered in the files of her so intricate and bizarre part of her body called brain and inside into her bravura mind remembering each line of the poem she loved:
Our fantasy became our doom
Draining my life away
Your tender caress vanished
Your casual stares are gone
And I feel your heartbeats slowing
And hot tears down rolling
Yet, there's not much I can do
Cause the being I hurt was you.
Now I've pulled away, away from me
Surrounded by screams I can't perceive
Was that your door Slamming shut,
'cuz I can't tell anymore...
"Nahira?" Karaein asked"Nahira?" she asked again a bit louder
"Sorry, what?" Nahira answered
"Uhm well I was thinking that the poem starts with an uncommon phrase, and I was wondering who wrote it?" Karaein asked
"Oh, she's an excellent writer, I love her poems and stories, Yika is the name.. She's amazing, true pieces of art she writes" Nahira explained
Nahira's high heel echoed in the empty street as so did her voice
"We are here" she said and Karaein realized that they were in front of an abandoned building but she heard no music and saw no one
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Karaein asked Nahira
"Sure, come on" and she tapped three times and the door waited one and tapped 2 times more
"Password?" a deep voice from the other side of the door asked and automatically Nahira responded with firm voice after giving her best friend a gaze telling her that everything was fine and there was no need to be afraid but ready to party "Carpe Diem" she said
