"So, now we know that it was because of this invasion from Rome to the old tribes that lived on the east side of the European continent, that Latin finally came to Spain. It was after this that these tribes became kingdoms, the kingdom of Castile and the kingdom of Aragon being the strongest castles in the region..."
'Funny feeling…'
"...to increase their kingdoms' powers, the marriage of Queen Isabella of Castile -being Castile stronger than Aragon- with King Ferdinand of Aragon surged. This is how Spain came into being, having Spanish as its official language. After all this, Latin ceased to be a language but remained thanks to the other languages that came from it. In this, we include Spanish -quite obvious-, French, Portuguese, Italian..."
'…What is going on?'
"...among others. We give another little jump ahead in time to when the English adventurer Christopher Columbus came to Spain seeking support, trust, and most important of all, money to go in search of a new route to reach the Indies, or India, for a most convenient trading way. At first, only Queen Isabella of Spain supported Columbus' 'wicked theories' that the world had a circular shape and so she sponsored his voyage…"
'I feel…odd…'
"…after some months, Columbus, his crew, and his three ships: The Pinta, the Nina, and the Santa Maria, reached what they thought were the Indies, but in fact where the Bahamas. They called the island 'San Salvador' and called its inhabitants 'Indians', for obvious reasons. Columbus returned to Spain and claimed what he was promised if he were to have success, and he returned to the New World, in this second voyage discovering other places such as the island 'Boriquén' or 'San Juan Bautista', now known as Puerto Rico. This way, Spanish, and other languages that came from Latin, were adopted by most of the New World…"
'I feel as if someone is being forced to do something he doesn't want to do…something of great consequences…something kind of supernatural perhaps…'
"…Well, class, I believe you know all that happened after all this, so, if someone feels like sharing what he or she knows then feel free to do so…"
'What am I thinking? No such thing as 'supernatural' exist…maybe I'm just getting sick or something…too much Fatal Frame perhaps…'
"Right, Miss Stull?" The ugly-looking Spanish teacher noticed Lina Stull lost within her own thoughts, and her eyes closed - obviously not paying attention to a word he had previously said.
"Huh?" Confused, Lina opened her eyes, finally catching on that she had been 'Missing in Action' for the whole class. She was trying to make up some lie to say when the bell rang.
'Saved by the bell.' She thought with relief while ignoring her teacher, picking up all her books and walking outside the classroom, among her fellow classmates.
Lina walked down the hall outside the Spanish classroom towards the stairs. Wondering what her schedule was, since it was changed everyday, she took out a paper from her back pack and read it while she went up the stairs.
"Me? No way!" Lina turned on her back and ran down the stairs towards the main exit of the school building, after reading in her schedule that she had taken all her classes but the last one.
The day, since it was summer, was nice and fresh. The sun's rays could be spotted everywhere and it kind of made Lina feel better.
She walked down the lonely street that would take her to her home. Lonely, that is, because people were still at school. Though the day was to be celebrated as the perfect day, the blonde teenager still felt that funny feeling that made her wonder if her past nightmares had anything to do with them.
Lina thought about what she had dreamt, she remembered every bit of her first nightmare.
' "At last…" I unwillingly spoke words not of my own and forcedly, I walked towards an unknown object.
"Rise under my command," My lips pronounced without my consent, "Obey my every wish…and be one with my mind. Rise!"
…And he rose…'
A bit startled because of thinking about the reality of what she had dreamt, Lina lowered her head slightly to shake away her thoughts. Her attempt to do this had failed, and thus she continued thinking. A few minutes later, she found herself lost; she had walked for several minutes without paying attention where she was heading to.
Disclaimer: I really don't own a thing. If I somehow did own YYH, it wouldn't turn out to end like it did...and I wouldn't be sitting here, writing fanfiction.
Author's Note: Don't sue about the Spanish lesson thing. I liked the chapter and that's all we need to know. Not even Lina (j/k) liked it but I still stick with it lol. Hope you like the rest of what's written above. Flames (if not about the Spanish history thing), and suggestions for improving are as well received as compliments.
