Chapter 2 -(How I met Nya and Kai)
When I got there, I was still holding my father's hand.
The man in Blacksmith shop had messy dark hair. The man wore glasses, and he had wrinkles under his eyes. I saw him put something in a bucket of water, and smoke came out of it.
Since I was just five years old, I really couldn't understand what he was doing. I now had a tighter grip on my Father's hand. My Father noticed it and looked at me with a weird expression. "Are you ok Sue?" he asked.
I looked up at him. "Yes Daddy," I said in a little five-year old voice.
He gave a smile.
"Daddy, what is that man doing?" I asked pointing to the man in the shop, and I gave him a questioning look.
"Looks like he is making something," he replied.
The man in the shop looked up at us as he took the object out of the water. "Hello," he greeted with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Lee Yong," my Father greeted with a smile also.
He then gestured his free hand to me. "And this is my daughter, Sue. Say hello Sue."
"Hello," I said.
The man looked at me for a few seconds. He then smiled at me. "Hello Sue, You can call me, Mister Chang, and you look about my daughter's age." His back now faced us. "Nya!" he called. He then turned around to face me. "My daughter will be here in a few." He now looked at my Dad. "Did you want to look around, Mr. Yong?"
"Yes," replied my father.
"Yes Dad?" I heard someone say from behind Mr. Chang.
He turned around. "Oh Nya," he said. The young girl came forward to her Dad. The girl did look my age, and she also wore a red dress, similar to mine. She had short black hair that fell to her chin. Mr. Chang put a hand on his daughter's shoulder. "This is my daughter Nya."
"Hi," she smiled.
"Hello," I replied.
I heard footsteps behind the two. I put my head to the side to get a better look. There stood a boy. He was wearing a blacksmith uniform. He had brown hair that was styled in little spikes. He looked about two or three years older than me. He looked pretty handsome. "Dad, can I make a sword now?" he whined.
Mr. Chang looked at the boy. "This is my son, Kai, Kai this is Sue and Mr. Yong."
"Hi" he said with a little wave. "Now can I make a sword," he pleaded.
His father shook his head. "Not now Kai…"
That was about nine years ago. I smiled at the memory.
"Sue! Are you all ready? We are going soon!" called my Dad.
"Yeah Dad, I'm ready!" I yelled back. I looked out my window, "I can't wait to see you again Nya," I thought. "I wonder how much you've changed, would you think that I've changed?"
I looked at the mirror. My hair grew longer then I last saw her. My black hair grew to just above my waist. It was now highlighted with a caramel color. I now just wore a red tank top with black skinny jeans.
Then, thoughts and memory's about Kai appeared in my head randomly. I just shook my head, and put those thoughts aside. What was that about?
