Chapter 8. Hope?
Let us fly in the most beautiful of skies,
And give the established future a try,
My wish dwells in my eyes,
My smiling face full of shine…
Pilica…screaming, skin shriveling, smell of plastic…no…burning hair. She is calling…for my name. Help…is that what she wants. I'm reaching forward. No! This can't be! I…I…can't touch her. I can do it. She's distancing. PILICA! Don't leave ur bro. NO!
Horo woke up from the nightmare. It all seemed so real. The funeral had taken place a few days ago. He also received news that his father was gone…lost… they couldn't find him. Perhaps he was just missing. No one knew, so Horo's uncle moved in with him. He felt that he wasn't ready to go back to school. Hao struck his mind. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist… He WILL take revenge. One day? No… today…
He reached school. There was on empty seat. Hao…was gone.When asked about Hao, the teacher just shrugged and said he transferred school. She was lying…. Horo just knew it. But why? He was confused. It might all be a play perhaps? A dark conspiracy? He wanted the answer, but it seemed that no one knew. He did not know what to do. He was just struggling. Pushing himself forward…Trying very hard. He wanted to sink into darkness… nothingness, just like what he was feeling. Yoh was there, with Anna. He was pretty thankful towards Anna for saving them all or else… he might end up like his sister. He did not want to be reminded of his sister.
He sighed. Lyzerg approached him. He smiled. A forced smile, thought Horo. Very fake. He did not point that out. He just sighed again. He pushed himself on daily. Without knowing, he passed on. Two years…without pilica. He wished that if he would have a second chance to look after Pilica. The answer was obvious. It was a no.
He was hoping to go into university. It was his sister's wish. Working as hard as he could. He had never pushed himself so hard before. He fell sick…at the day of the exams! He missed it–the exam. Graduating exam to be exact. He felt hopeless, and useless. Miserable was what to describe his life. Yoh and the others had all graduate. Lyzerg, being always to top in school, was admitted into a university. In London. It would be nice if he could just go into a normal one. Everyone in his class shuns him. They call him to miserable and extra one. One day, he went to school, as usual…
"CLASS! I have an announcement to make. Lets welcome him a round of applause." The whole class clapped. When he stepped in, horo felt a tingle. He lifted up his head. Something was different about that new comer. Perhaps it was fate, destiny to wait for him? Horo felt nice, the first time for the past 2 years. "Class," the teacher continued. "His name is…Tao Ren…"
