7- Where the Demons Hide
Clarity's POV (Until next break it will be like this)
I laid down in the grass, and popped an apple in my mouth. School here was odd, mainly because it was a mixture of magic & education. My last class had been over magic, so I was drained. It was also odd because it felt so- normal. I stretched out on the soft lawn grass, and slowly chewed the apple, thinking about today's events. It was odd to be out in my element, being able to truly bathe in it was glorious. I wonder how many people were watching our 'Happy Dances' this morning. I blushed. Probably a lot. At the time it had been wonderful to feel free, but in retrospect, I looked plain stupid dancing in my multi-colored pjs. I giggle to myself. So far, it's been kinda fun, but I dread meeting Rin. I haven't seen or heard much about him, and I hope for a while it stays that way. For a moment I imagine just being a normal student, and a smile spreads on my face and I feel warmth course through my body. I accidentally begin humming a song that we made up as kids. It goes:
We slip into the water,
Our troubles streaming out to sea,
But as long as we're together,
My heart is truly free.
I've never felt this way before,
Where my life is really my own,
And if I stay with you forever,
My heart can call this place home.
When I was stuck in darkness,
You showed me the light,
We both started out as stars,
But now together we both shine bright.
I let the song out of my head, and sing it softly aloud. I just finish saying bright, when I hear a rustle in front of me. I open my eyes to see a boy my age laying in the grass ahead of me. He has obsidian black hair that spikes up, a pale, slim face and a suit to match his hair, but what stands out most are his eyes. They're ocean blue, and they seem to swirl around mesmerizingly like mini whirlpools. I realize I'm staring like a dork, and turn away, my cheeks on fire. He grins wide, and I see he has sharp canine teeth, like Flare. That's odd.
"Hey, Beautiful," he says, and his voice is a little scratchy, but nice, like a cats meow. Honestly, he really reminds me of a cat. His ears are slightly pointed, his teeth are sharp, his eyes are almond shaped, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a tail to go with it. I smile in my mind, imagining him with a tail. Just my coincidence a brown cat walks up, and I realize we've been staring at each other. The cat meows and he seems as if he understands it. He gets up hurriedly, but then stops & turns to me.
"Uh, maybe I can see you soon? He says, hands behind his back, and a slight blush on his face.
"Umm... I'll be in my room this afternoon, F-22," I reply, sensing awkwardness.
"Ok, see you then!" He says quickly and runs off.
"Wait!" I holler after him, "what's your name?"
"Rin Okumera!" He yells back, then disappears from sight. I gasp. Is this the demon, Rin?
