Instead of being an amazing student I got inspired because I was listening to all my favorite songs but I studied a little of course I can't make my grade suffer =)) I just wanted to share that I am still under this mood swing phase because of something that happened to me. Thank you to all who still reads my fan fic
"That's not true."
I clenched my fists even tighter, my nails digging into my palms. Everything came back to me, the metallic Pray mantis falling apart; Rick being trapped by the debris and turning into a shrub. How could they lie to my face like that?
"What are you talking about honey?"
"I remember everything! Rick died because of me!"
"That isn't true princess."
"How could you say that?!"
"Easy like this, princess you didn't kill Rick. He died because of the hug metal pray mantis."
"Robin Goodfellow you better shut up!"
I swallowed hard being right didn't make me feel any better and their bickering wasn't helping me at all. I stared in horror at Robin Goodfellow and thought of the cheerful boy who was always with my brother and how mischief always followed him then the boy can transform into a huge bird and attack giant metallic pray mantises. I shifted my gaze to the floor, trying to understand the situation.
"It's too late for that Andrea! She already knows too much, Roderick told me about her dreams. The time is near!"
"We could run."
"Run? Ha! Run where, to the nevernever? You and I both know King Oberon wants her nowhere near Faery land!"
"You said it yourself Puck! She is safer in the nevernever than here in the human world!"
Everything didn't make sense at all I paused my train of thoughts when Muffins, my cat, with his bottlebrush tail up in the air slinked inside the living room and plopped himself down on the couch and looked at us all, golden eyes serious and calm. I looked at him and sighed at least he didn't have to understand the situation he's just a cat I turned to Robin and he straightened his posture a little, looking at me with a sad expression. I turned my back to him, mom, and Muffins, he winced when I spoke.
"Who are you and who is Roderick?"
"He's the infamous Robin Goodfellow also known as Puck."
I spun around so fast I fell down. I looked up at the couch horrified that voice wasn't Puck's; it was more smooth and cat-like. I looked at Muffins, he was licking his paws and paused only to look at me with an annoyed expression. Puck looked at me with an amused expression and started to laugh at my reactions. I looked at Puck then at Muffins in disbelief I knew the storied about Robin Goodfellow but the voice shocked me more than his true identity. I gagged on my own words as I tried to make sound come out.
"Di-did you just talk?"
Muffins looked at me more annoyed, stopped licking himself, and faced me. I stared at him hopeful that I was just imagining it. My mom walked over to me and put her arms around my shoulders I just shrugged her off waiting for the impossible to happen. I glared at Puck accepting the fact he would play a prank on me for fun.
"I just did human, do not test my patience."
I knew he spoke the first time but I didn't see that time, I couldn't accept the face my lovable cat's harsh tone with me. I couldn't help but scream though, Puck started laughing hysterically and doubled-over on the ground I kicked him in the shins and stared at my cat.
"Muffins when did you start talking?"
"One my name is Grimalkin human and two I have always talked."
"What's happening?"
I couldn't take it anymore, Muffins speaking to me like that was the last straw I sat down on the couch and started crying. Puck sobered up and put his arms around me I sobbed into his shirt, soaking it with my tears. Grimalkin curled next to my side a silent gesture that he's still my cat at least I think it is, my mom stood there uncomfortable shifting her weight while I continued to sob into Puck's shirt. When my mom touched my shoulder, I hiccupped myself into a sitting position, resting my head on Puck's shoulder I looked up at her.
"Honey, let us explain"
"Princess it's time you knew the truth."
"Indeed human, it is time for my favor to Goodfellow to be paid."
"Fine tell me everything I have to know."
My mom and Puck shared a long, meaningful look then faced me with identical calm and collected expressions. I held my breath for the worst as they began to explain everything.
"First you have to know princess, that I am not human. I am a Faery."
I looked at Puck and imagined a faery from those child stories and anime but he didn't have sparkly wings and a magic wand. He started to get into more details as if reading my mind.
"Please princess, don't think of those awful fairies from those child stories or anime. I am a summer Faery I was born from the human imagination, glamour is magic Faeries draw from human emotions; it is the source of all a Faery's power. The Faeries live in the nevernever where we can live freely, it is our world. The nevernever is filled with all sorts of dangers and wonders."
I didn't like the way he said 'our world' it feels like he's implying that I belong in the nevernever. I shuddered at the thought of living there. I looked at Puck in disbelief after everything that has happened I am still willing to deny the truth. Puck looked at me with a pitiful look.
"I swear princess, we were looking for the right time to tell you all this. It just never came. It would be easier for you to forget about all this."
"How Puck, How could I possibly forget all of this?!"
"Remember the vial of water you drank?"
"Yeah…"
I narrowed my eyes suspiciously, what was that odd substance anyways? I remember the longing inside of me when I tried it once I shuddered. It made me forget how Rick died, I won't forget Rick, he's my brother it would be an insult to forget him. Puck took out another small vial of the mysterious water and gave me an apologetic smile.
"It's call mistwine, princess. It makes you forget things. If you take this you would forget how Roderick really died and everything we told you. Grimalkin would still be Muffins to you, I would still be Robbie Goode, Rick died in a car accident and you and your mom, well the same as always for you two."
I gazed at the small vial of mistwine, if I drank it now everything bad will stop happening. Is that even possible? No more summer child, everything will happen at the 21st, and Muffins just being a normal cat who couldn't talk to me? It sounded so tempting but flashes from the incident tugged at my mind forcing me to remember how and why Rick died. I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head I won't forget it now it's too late.
"I can't, not now. It's too late anyways."
"I thought you'd say that princess, I guess it's time for you to come home."
It's raining hard in the Phillipines. This reminds me of Ondoy and it honestly scares me right now because many people could die and suffer and here I am sitting at home, so useless. I wish I could help more but what else could I do? I am underage and according to elders 'too young to understand' but I have to say who are our role models in life? The adults and they say we do bad but what about them? Pollution, corruption, lying, etc. Yes we lie but where did we learn about it? Sorry I am ranting about things that most people would say I don't understand because of my age well sorry I am young but I plan to help people for the better.
