Hey hey, wassup? How's life? So yeah, I had exams awhile back, and I finished them today! SEE? I'm such a good person. I spent my valuable time to write a chapter for you guys! Gimme review! -bhb-
P.s. (To people out there that has pointed out my naming mistakes) LibreOffice changed them into Cecelia and Merlin. I suddenly remembered. So, it's my fault that I didn't check too. So, sorry!
P.p.s If you guys wanna get good scores for your English exams, I'm telling you this. STUDY HARDCORE BY READING THE DICTIONARY. It really helps. Although it's waste of time. PFFT.
Disclaimer: I don't own HM. If I did, I'll make a pack with Square Enix and making Cloud Strife do some farming. IMAGINE THAT. Cloud Strife! Pitch fork! My god! _ Okay, on with the story.
The little rays of dawn filtered through my window. I stretched and stifled a yawn. I craned my neck to look at the clock that hung from the opposite wall and the time that it showed was a quarter to7. I changed my into my work clothes and grabbed something from my bag to fill my protesting tummy. What a pathetic life I lead..Staring at the few pieces of bamboo shoots I collected in Spring and some of the Summer produce I harvested a few days ago. Ah, well... Better than nothing... I took out a corn and clamped my teeth around it, feeling the sweet taste of corn filling my mouth. I found Bite sleeping in a corner under my bed and I reached deep inside and pulled him out.
"Bite..," I whispered into his ear. He sniffed and scratched his ear and rolled over. Wow. A new trick learnt while asleep? Now, that's something.I tickled him and in an instant, he woke up and rushed outside through the doggy flap I made for him. I laughed. I stood up,dimmed the lights of my house and stepped outside. The summer wind greeted me and I rushed over to Will's stable. I petted him, picked his hooves and led him outside the stable. I went around chopping branches and watering the damned crops-it's lots of hard work you know?- and rode Will outside, heading towards Lumina's, hoping she could give me more information about my cat.
I headed up the seemingly never ending stairs to Lumina's and spotted her with her grandmother relaxing and conversing under the hanging Sakura trees. I moved closer to the gates and caught drifts of their conversation. Loads of " Skye", "thievery" and "romance" came from the brunette and shakes of the head came from the older woman. The conversation was heating up gradually. I backed a few steps and then rode in Will again, pretending to be just arriving. I smiled at Lumina. She didn't smile back.
"What do you want?" She asked in a huff. I unmounted Will and stood before her. I greeted Romana with a smile and she nodded back in response. I turned back to raging Lumina.
"Er...I was wondering if you -"I started but was rudely cut off by Lumina.
"If you are here to talk about yesterday night, I have nothing to talk nor say to you," she looked away, trying to look nonchalant. Fury boiled inside me. Couldn't she just hear me out?
"I'm not here to talk about yesterday,"I looked away, folding my arms.
"Oh? You're not?" Her attitude changed and her face instantly turned into a bright sunny day. What a two faced goat. " Then why are you here?"
"I'm here to ask if you had seen Puss around since she was here on certain occasions."
"Puss? I'm afraid not... Why? Has Puss gone missing?" Her face ceased with frowns and I could literally see the question marks bouncing on top of her head. I cringed and nodded.
"Yeah, well... She's missing yesterday. She was really frightened about something. Though what, I'm not sure." I kicked the stone marbles and rubbed my arms.
"Yesterday...? Then why didn't you come ask me yesterday?" She was staring at me like I'M the dim-witted one. Please! I'm nothing like her lover, Rock- that dirty Blonde that goes around thinking that he's the magnificent one.
"Maybe because I lost consciousness and woke up in the night to come all the way here to find that some sliver haired guy charmed you with his sweet talk?" I asked 'innocently'. She glared at me though I was surprised that she could get this angry.
"Well, sorry. I didn't see your cat," she folded her arms defensively and continued, "if I do, I'll let you know. Now, will you excuse me, I have something on so I'll take my leave now. See you around." With that, she went back to the mansion. Romana looked at me in a apologetic manner and she excused herself.
What's with the attitude change?
Feeling dejected, I left the place and headed for the Sprite Tree. I rode on Will and trotted all the way there. I unsaddled Will and sat beneath the huge Oak tree that contained the little Sprites. I stared into the big blue sky. The drifting clouds with their destination unknown... and thought of Puss, my family and the memories. I felt my eyelids drooping. I let out a deep sigh and feel into a deep slumber.
XOXOX
I woke up and it was nearly.. 10. Well. It seems that I slept the whole day away. I stretched and yawned. I reopened my eyes to see a greasy looking man with a bird nest for his hair staring back at me. I broke off in mid yawn. I screamed and cowered.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing?" An alto voice rang out. I peaked out under my shoulder and found out that it was actually Skye. You'll never know how relived I was at that moment. He was wearing the same outfit as yesterday, just that it was green. Same wristband and necklace.
Murrey lifted his head and stared at Skye. Murrey narrowed his eyes before stepping into the shadows of the Sprite Tree.
Skye rushed over to me and helped me up. He looked in the direction where Murrey disappeared off to.
"Skye..," I said. He snapped his attention back to me.
"Fair maiden! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He twirled me around to check for bruises.
"I'm perfectly fine," I pulled my arm out of his grasp, "and call me Jill, please."
"Jill? All right. Jill," Skye looked at me seriously and whispered, " it's not safe here. Let's go somewhere else."
I cocked my head at him.
"Jill, please don't do that," Skye laughed, " my heart will melt from the amount of adorableness you're showing me."
My checks flushed red. Damn flirt.
"I see you have a mode of transport," Skye commented on Will, who was nodding off at a corner. " I think you want it to rest for the day, am I right?"
I rolled my eyes. "Obviously!"
"All right, I'll help you send it home," then he came closer bent down to my height and whispered. "Go to the half constructed area. The one outside just opposite the farm. I'll meet you there. Hurry!" He stood up and lead Will to the exit of the Harvest Goddess pond. I stood there staring after him. He turned back and mouthed 'hurry' before disappearing around the bend.
I took out my transport necklace and put it on. Nina's house. Take me to Nina's house. In a flash I was standing outside the house of Nina and Galen. I walked to where the half constructed work and sat there, back against the fence.
Around 5 minutes later, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see Skye running towards me.
"What's with the whispering just now?" I asked when Skye got nearer. He flopped down beside me, panting hard.
"Huh? Oh. Just now? Didn't feel safe with that creepy guy around."
I nodded. I knew exactly how he felt. I decided to change the subject. " So... what are you doing out at this point of time?"
"Shouldn't I be me who's asking you that, fair Jill? He looked at me incredulously."Do you prefer the company of the night rather than the day?"
Rolled my eyes at the " fair Jill" part. "Yeah... I mean..." I looked at him. He arched his eye brows. "Sometimes, I guess..."
"It's comforting, is it not, fair maiden?"
I nodded. Yeah yeah. I hugged my knees and rested my chin on them. I felt Skye looking at me.
"You seem distracted. What's wrong? You can tell me," Skye bent down to look at me, trying to make eye contact. I looked at him. He seemed encouraging. I sighed.
"I suspect... I KNOW that Murrey is doing something funny to the animals around here," I explained,averted his eyes. "I have no evidence or whatsoever that he's the one behind the mess and commotion that's happening around this area. Mainly animals, but I'm not sure if people are involved. Not that anyone paid any attention to them, anyway."
Frowns creased his forehead. "Oh,is that so? That's a rather big... complication..." Skye murmured.
AH! Maybe... maybe... Skye can help me with the problem? I smiled at this thought and looked at him hopefully.
I think he felt me looking at him and he snapped out of his temporary trance. He looked at me and blinked twice. Then he placed his hands behind his head and said casually, "Ah, I guess it can't be helped, huh? Heh heh."
"Eh...? Can't you even think of one way of helping?" This guy is completely an idiot.
"... Yeah."
I shook him by the shoulders. "Not even ONE?"
He smirked and replied, " What do you think, my fair maiden? My wits are for complimenting your beauty, not for solving crimes. If you want to solve crimes, be your own Nancy Drew." He got up and dusted his pants. " Well, it's getting late, I think I'd go home to get some beauty sleep... and you," he said, pointing at me." Stop getting extra wrinkles because of this problem. Never go against Fate." With that, he left the area, giving me a wave before turning into the corner.
Talk about Baka. There's one right in front of me who claims himself to be a Oji. What a despicable Bakageta Oji. I couldn't help but screaming out my frustrations.
Eh...heh heh... Er... yeah.. This is all for this chapter... Eh, what else... oh yeah I included a little Japanese in this chapter...
Baka- Idiot. Oji- Prince. Bakageta Oji- Idiotic Prince.
If you guys like to collect the Harvest Sprite cards or something in the game, there's a card named "Oji" (Ouji or sth like that.) and there's a picture of Skye on it. So, yeah. I have SO much plots for this story... I don't know which one to choose... Aargh! I must preserve... -confidence- THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS YOU GUYS GAVE ME. :) :) I just received another one. :):) -Absolute happiness- Oh yeah, BTW, try checking out Absolute Boyfriend. It's manga and there's a show made based on this manga. And apparently, my favourite character in the series DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE ONE IN MANGA. HMPH.
Lol. Loads of crap in this chapter. ZzzZzz gotta rest my brains, GIMME A REVIEW. If not no "Yo Mama" jokes for you!
