Chapter Six: Ready For School
Black's POV
A...argh... I feel so dizzy... So damn painful. My arms and body feel like they could just drop off at any moment. It's not like I' strained myself or anything. All I could see was a small, faint red colour that emitted from within the darkness of my lightly closed eyelids, concealing my light blue and light red eyes that could send one madly in love with me with a single gaze. My body suddenly trembled, feeling a cold hand tap my right shoulder once. I didn't react at all. Again. I groaned, annoyed and wondering who it was...
Once more. My body suddenly tensed as my eyes flung open as wide as day, allowing all of my senses to return to me like a freight train carrying armed explosives colliding with me head on... The smell in the air was like smoke mixed with coffee. My left cheek was pressed against a hard, smooth surface that was the colour of brown as I stared at a grey wall. My bottom was pressed against a rather uncomfortable chair, my legs seemed to be strain but they were free from any bonds. Same with my arms...
"Hello, good evening our precious Black Melody", a voice of a man said in a tone that would haunt you till the end of your days said in a gentlemen's manner. My eyes widened, my pupils contracted and I felt my heart drop deep down into my stomach, throbbing like it was on the verge of erupting into shredded papers of red.
"Huh", I whispered, blinking once before slowly lifting my hands up to the table, resting them to the side of my head and carefully pushed myself off of the table, now looking dead ahead to see a man dressed in a white suit that exhibited golden buttons, golden trimmed sleeves and collar, like he was some sort of president or king. "Who are you?", I asked out of curiosity, looking away from his daring dark brown eyes, observing the little room I was stuck in. All the walls were made of solid concrete, painted or left grey for a dungeon feel as a white surveillance camera watched us from the back right corner of the room, making me feel somewhat uncomfortable, knowing for a fact that there are people watching me right now, probably in shock as my tail hung from under me, fitting through a small gap from the back of the seat... My grey, fuzzy, small fox-like tail...
"You seem wary. Care for a drink, Black?", he offered, raising his right hand up to his face as I quickly darted my head back at him, watching him place a brown cigar into his mouth, sucking in all of the lethal neurotoxins that is known to cause man cancer. The red flame from the tip burnt like hot iron, resembling lava at the most before it died down to an orange colour the moment he rid it from his mouth, immediately exhaling the smoke like a flame from a horrific dragon.
"No... Where am I and how do you know my name?", I asked rather politely, making him smile at me uncannily, causing my blood to cool down to the point of freezing as my eyes widened in terror... It was like I was staring into Frost's eyes...
"Because, your my sister", he said, making me suddenly clench my fists as tight as possible, feeling a sudden urge to just throw one right at his face like a meteorite and hollow it out. Then I'll start calling him a fucking crater! I narrowed my eyes, tucking myself into the table slightly, causing that dreadful, ear-splitting screech to emit and hurt Frost's ears. But not mine! Not when I'm THIS furious! Dammit... I'll slay Frost! Brother or not, I'll have him as a slave for me for all of eternity! Then I'll take his head and serve it on a silver plate!... "Uh... Are you feeling alright?", he asked me just as the wall behind him suddenly fell like it was a... Fake?! Eh?!
"What are you doing Chaos! You're supposed to hold the wall!", White exclaimed from behind me, sounding muffled as the fake walls absorbed most of the noise. Are you kidding me... I clenched my teeth, staring angrily at Frost with my light red and light blue eyes that pierced his very mind and soul like a spear of fear, inflicting a fast acting poison of regret. Dammit... These guys are so bloody... ARGH! I'm gonna kill em all!
"B...Black! It was just a joke!", Frost said, sweat dripping down from his forehead as he held out both of his arms, both palms opened. I sighed, trying to find the funny side to this but I was unable to for some reason... I took this far too seriously. Argh... What are they thinking!?
"AHHH! White! Don't hold me there!", I heard Chaos exclaim in a muffled manner, instantly causing me to turn a deep shade of red the moment I heard her frightened voice... Yes. HER frightened voice!... For crying out loud!
"Hey! You promised to help me around cause of my bad right knee! So get your act together and PULL!", White cried... What did she just say? At that moment, my eyes widened as wide as day with my pupils contracted to tiny dots. Slowly and slight fear, I looked down at the table, feeling all of my anger vent out like I was in some sort of purifier... Just like the coma, eh?
"ONE, TWO, THREE! PULLLLLL- AHHHH!", I heard Chaos scream right before a loud, booming sound of a door exploded, shaking the entire house vividly for a split second. What the hell are they doing!?
"Huh? Why is there blood in the kitchen? And a black, gooey substance... Hey Star's rapier is here too!?", Sino said in a completely shocked tone, instantly making my eyes widened as the sudden image of my male self dying flooded my mind... Dammit... Deja vu?
"School tomorrow? Are you serious?", Chaos asked curiously from my left as we all sat on the same, yellow, furry couch that was set adjacently to the jet black TV as a glass, rectangular table served as a barrier right in front of us. A black, long remote was placed on the centre of it and most of all, there was a few stains of White's blood on it and on the brown, polished wooden floorboards that reflected the overhead light in a glossy, distorted manner.
"Yeah. But it's no ordinary school. It's a battle school. Drago enrolled all of us into it", I explained in annoyance to the fact that I'm back in this place. But who would've thought that Drago was planning this the whole time? It's hard to believe but, from what I've seen him do, it's not really a BIG surprise.
"Battle school? Back in my world, we never had such a thing", Sino said. "Maybe they're training people to fight monsters...".
"Maybe, maybe not. But, knowing how a battle school system works, there must be a higher one. Another school that holds the best of the best", Chaos explained from my far left, stroking her chin as I looked down at my slightly opened, white palms that had some red blood stains on it from cleaning the kitchen. "But how did Star's rapier end up in the kitchen?".
"No idea...", I sighed warmly out of annoyance. The room was the same as I left it not seven hours ago... White concrete-painted walls with a smooth, glossy texture. All of my ancient books about mechanics and magic aligned perfectly inside of a brown, gold trimmed bookshelf that sat to the right of the TV like a gargoyle. That's right! I was planning on making an upgraded version of Night's Melody, but, when I was told that we're making our own weapons at the school, I decided that it'd be best to do it there. After all, the materials and tools ARE free and are top-notch quality.
"You look lost. Is something bothering you?", Frost asked me, placing a warm hand onto my head and gently rubbed my hair, causing me to turn a slight red to how good it felt. Especially my ears... mmmm... Ah... My mind suddenly went blank to the sheer amount of pleasure rushing throughout my entire body like a gushing river of... Ahhh... I melted on the spot, now resting my head against his chest as he continued to rub my head... "Does it feel THAT good?", He asked to no one in particular.
"It's strong enough to kick her out of insanity. That's what Star did a while ago with HIS magic to snap her out. But he went overboard and ended up including her tail", Chaos sighed, remembering the events of last year... This feeling is insane!
White's POV
I wonder what school will be like... Will it be a place where people get along, smile, dance, joke around or be the complete opposite... A battle school is something not to take lightly, says Chaos. But Black says otherwise. She says that it's a place where enemies become your friends... What does she mean by that? I sighed sitting in the white bathtub that was filled to the brim with water, hugging my legs in slight embarrassment as Black took a shower inside of a fog-infested rectangular glass box. The noise of the water spraying her down became the music of the early night and the vocals were her hums... But what IS she humming?
She's so mysterious. But that's no surprise for someone with the title of Black Heart... But there are some things that surprise me... Like how she's merciful and shows empathy. From what I've read, the first Black Heart was too, merciful but died because of it. He didn't get far but her... She defeated Charcoal and still clung onto mercy... Just who IS she? I sighed, tightening my grip from around my knees as I stared down into the bubble-infested, foamy, warm water that I sat in completely naked. I wonder what goes on in her mind filled with so many negative things...
I sighed, lowering my face into the water slightly, feeling the warmth of the water burn my face pleasantly as I turned a bright red upon thinking of something... Something that I haven't thought about before... If she loved Mindy... Then does it also account to me?... I mean, I AM partly Mindy but... I sighed again, blinking once as my heart began to ache at the embarrassing thought. She too is a girl but... Gah! I strained my eyes, quickly releasing my legs and splashed a bucketful of water and soap onto my face, cleansing my mind from the very thoughts that occupied my mind for a good thirty seconds...
"Is something going on?", Black asked, immediately halting her lovely humming with her innocent, sweet voice that matched how she looked very well. But not her title. I jolted up in shock, turning as red as redstone as my blood boiled like therian water.
"I...uhhh... Nothing! I was just cleaning myself!", I exclaimed, smiling slightly with my eyes shut tightly like vices.
"That's good. So, White, are you going to be upgrading your Moon's Rhythm tomorrow or will you be starting from scratch?", She asked me out of curiosity, making me regain my composure almost immediately to what she had just said... Hmm... Upgrade my Moon's Rhythm, huh? It's already a blade and a gun of course but it wouldn't hurt to tune it up to something more devastating. Haha! If I can make it the very best, then I'll be able to even take on Black in a fearsome battle! After all, we ARE rivals...
"It's a secret", I replied to her, knowing JUST what I want to make... Something completely deadly and precise... Haha! I can't wait to see the look on her face!
Black's POV
"Why do I have to wear such clothing!? It makes me look ridiculous!", Chaos exclaimed in annoyance as we walked along a yellow-bricked stone pathway that was as rough as sand paper and looked like it was just built not an hour ago.
The smell of honey and flowers filled the calming air with it's amazing fragrance that caused me to melt slightly and turn a bit red. Frost walked in the middle of us seeing that he's the ONLY boy out of us whilst me and White stood to his right, acting like we're his guards or something like that.
"Because YOU'RE a girl! Get it in your thick skull!", Frost scolded Chaos with those harsh words that made her jump in fright. Haha! I couldn't help but to laugh at her reaction and she quickly turned to the deepest shade of red, knowing that whatever Frost says, she must obligate to due to that fact that he's currently the prince of FrostBittens.
I blinked, looking to my right in awe as we past through many new types of flowery and hedges in the form of some unknown heroes, each holding either a blade, bow or staff in hand like they ruled the world. Each and every one of us kept out ears folded, less we want someone to call us names or treat us as outcast which is last thing we want. I'd hate to make enemies in this place... Especially Humans...
"This place is so beautiful", Sino whispered in awe.
"Yeah", White said in awe.
"Frost, what do you think of it?", I asked him, still staring at the countless flowers that exhibited many colours. Red, green, blue, pink... Even White!
"Hmm. Let's just say that it reminds me of Chaos's room", He said.
"Wow! Is Chaos's room that beautiful!?", Sino asked in a surprised tone of voice.
"What? No. Of course not. I'm saying that it looks decorative and all but if you look down under it, you'd find ALOT of dirt. But it smells pretty nice in there", Frost replied, making both me and White chuckle as Sino and Chaos stared blankly at him.
"Eh... Didn't have to think outside of the box man", Sino sighed.
"Well, who's room doesn't have dirt?", Chaos said in annoyance.
"Not just any type of dirt", Frost began proudly, making me look right back at him with a pleasant smile plastered across my face as a gust of wind brushed past our faces from up ahead, causing our clothing and hair to dance in it's influence. The leaves of the nearby greenery played an amazing, soothing melody with it's rustling, calming my soul and mind to the max. "I found a couple porno magazines under your bed. Do you read them with Milk or something cause I've found both yours and her handwriting in it"...
"EH!?", Chaos exclaimed in pure shock and terror with widened eyes, making it obvious that it wasn't true. Haha! But her reaction sure is funny! "I... I don't have-".
"Naughty girl", Frost sighed, sounding ashamed like he was her father. "I'm very disappointed in you. I thought that you'd never do such a thing".
"F...F... Frost... Black I didn't do such a thing! Tell him!", Chaos exclaimed, looking right at me with desperate, light red eyes that told me so many things about her... For one, she looked as if she was on the burst to tears... I sighed.
"She didn't do anything like that. Frost can you stop it please?", I asked him politely, looking into his light red eyes with my two different coloured eyes.
"Fine fine. I've had my fun", He said and at that moment, Chaos immediately turned away with a red, burning face that had 'embarrassment' written all over it...
I blinked, looking forwards dead ahead with a friendly smile plastered across my face. This time, I want to be innocent and not someone who looks like a killer at the first glance... I hope I don't already look like that tho.
Well, only a good twenty meters then we're at the school gates! I can't wait!...
Colour Plane
Slowly, I walked down a path that held no safety. A path of light brown atop a cliff, making my way towards the enormous castle that stood like a king at the edge of this world. The world of blue. "I'm getting close to her. I'll give her my hand and it's up to her to take it. If she fails to do so then I'll force her to... and she'll tell me my name...", I thought...
