I'm back everyone! Well, here's the chapter that all of you been waiting for. Enjoy and please REVIEW!
Andropov's POV
"What am I going to do?" I murmured to myself.
I was lying on my bed, trying to think of a way to save Kluke. I hate to admit it, but the headmaster is right. There's no guarantee that I'll be able to save her. And that monster has her soul. If I can't turn her back to normal, and if she destroys everything around her; I might have to…
"No! There has to be another way!" I shouted to myself. "I have to find a way to save her."
Then, I had an idea that might work. I dashed out the room, ran out the school gate, and went to my destination. Huffing, I made it to where I wanted to go. I was at Minano academy. The students had finished rebuilding the school. It didn't look exactly the same like before, but at least it's finished. Without a second thought, I went in the school grounds. It looked like the students had just finished working at they're all resting. Some of them went back to their rooms, some of them were walking around campus, and some were just sitting around and talking to each other.
Gulping, I walked towards the building. I was crossing my fingers so the students wouldn't attack me or anything. They were looking at me, confused about why I was there. I heard some of them whisper to each other.
"What's he doing here?"
"I haven't seen him for a long time! Where has he been?"
"Didn't you seem him at the battle? He was fighting us and not those from Mika academy!"
"Yeah, I remember that!"
"Is he here to attack us again?"
"But he isn't doing anything."
"Where do you think he's going?"
I just ignored them and kept walking to the headmistress's office. I wasn't sure how to explain all of my reasons in such a short time, but I have to try at least. Kluke's life is at stake. After thinking this, I walked faster and made it to the office. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. It opened, revealing the silver-haired woman. She had an angry expression in her eyes. I guess she knew what I did and that I was a spy from Mika academy.
"Why are you here? Did your headmaster tell you to attack us again?" she was griping on her sword, getting ready to attack me if I tried anything.
"No. I'm here because Kluke is in danger." I started.
Her expression changed into a confused one. She let me in the office so we could discus in private. I told her from what happened when she was brought to Mika academy to when she got transformed into a phoenix. So far, the headmistress believed me. She would sometimes ask me some questions like why I attacked Minano academy and why Kluke had been the sacrifice. I answered all of her questions and after we discussed all of this, she stood up from her seat and made an announcement in a small microphone on her desk.
After the announcement, both of us went out the office and went to the wide garden that was still half burned. All the other students were gathered there. The headmistress and I explained the situation. I heard gasps and whispers while we explained. After we finished, all of us agreed that we'll do everything we can to save Kluke.
"But where is she?" I heard someone ask. If I remember correctly, I think her name was Bouquet; Kluke's friend.
"I last saw her in a valley. But she probably went to another place. I'm not sure where she is right now..." I answered disappointedly. I should've thought about this. We don't even know where she is. How are we supposed to find her and save her?
"You said that she turned into a phoenix, right?" I heard the headmistress ask me.
"Yes. Why?" I was curious about why she asked me.
She crossed her arms and she had a grin on her face. She suddenly walked away, leaving me and the others. I saw her went in her office. All of us just waited for her in the garden. I looked over to a group of students in the middle of the crowd. They somehow look familiar. Then I remembered that they were Kluke's friends. I walked up to them, having an uneasy feeling in my chest. They looked at me when I reached them.
"I'm really sorry." I started. "I wasn't able to protect her. I didn't mean for all of this to happen."
"You don't have to apologize." I heard one of them say. She was short and had short brown hair.
"What's important now is to rescue her and bring her back." Another said. He had brown-grayish hair and ocean blue eyes.
They all forgave me and easily as well. I was relieved that everyone had forgotten about what I did and accepted me as their ally. After awhile, the headmistress had come back. I was about to ask her what she was doing but I was interrupted when she told us something.
"I've found out where Kluke is." She said. "Apparently, she's still in the valley. She's able to fight the monster within her and she hasn't caused any trouble."
I was so relieved to hear the good news. But then the question went in my head again. I decided to ask her the question. "How did you know all this?"
"There's something that you don't know about this academy." She started. "You must've gone in the secret passage way in the fountain so you could get the scroll. In that passage way, there's another secret panel that leads to a room. Inside, there's a device that can track down a certain monster. And that's a phoenix."
I couldn't help but just nod at her explanation. After awhile of preparing, we set off to the valley. I was so worried about Kluke. How are we going to turn her back to normal? Are we going to attack her? All I know is, if she can't control the monster; we'll have to…
I mentally slapped myself for thinking such nonsense. "How are we going to get Kluke back to normal?" I asked the headmistress who was next to me.
"The idea that I had in mind was to reason with her. But there's a strong possibility that she won't listen to us." She said shortly.
She didn't continue because I already know what will happen if she loses control. But, she's a strong girl. I'm sure she'll be ok. Although, looking back, this was all because of me. If only I knew what the headmaster was planning, I could've run away with her. Instead, I practically dragged her into this. All of this is my fault. I can't blame anyone for this except myself.
Every step I made, I always remembered Kluke's smile and laugh. Why her of all people? If we fail to save her, all that will be left will be just my memories of her. It'll be just like how I lost mom. I was too weak to save the ones I loved. I was always careful to not make any connections with anyone so I wouldn't feel sad if they disappear from this world. But, I don't regret for falling in love with Kluke. At least, when I die, I'll be able to meet her on the other side.
Done! Phew… I had zero ideas about this so I just made it a bit randomly. But, I guess it isn't so bad. Remember to review and I'll see ya in the next chapter!
