4 Man With Blue Eyes

When everything is ready, Natasha start her journey outside the Kingdom.

Other people who went far away from home for a long time might be very sad and would miss home but for Natasha, she even wish that fate would never let her come here again.

With a wide grin, Natasha enter the carriage and soon the carriage start to move.

Neither of the people inside the mansion sent her off as if they didn't know that Natasha would depart today. But as Natasha already predict this, she didn't feel sad at all.

She just want to vanished from this kingdom as soon as possible.

Along all the way, she humming a very melodious and happy tone.

After a few hours of journey to the near kingdom, Natasha order the driver to stop at any inn. The driver follow her order and stop at an inn. The inn wasn't too luxury but still can be consider as a good one. But Natasha didn't care about it, she just need some comfortable place to sleep for today.

The driver help Natasha to took her luggage out from the carriage. After Natasha paid him, the driver went off to his way.

While dragging her luggage from behind, Natasha stepped into the inn. She quickly readjust her condition with the current situation.

When the night fall, Natasha went out to find a good restaurant nearby. She dressed in a simple attire so that she won't attract any unwanted attention.

Natasha found a small noodle shop just around the corner and quickly went inside. She didn't take a long time to order as she already feels so hungry. She even skipped today lunch because she didn't want to stop until she arrived here.

Natasha then took a suitable seat for herself. She looked around and realised that there are only a couple of an old people inside at the opposite corner from Natasha. They were earing their noodle soups while chatting happily.

Natasha didn't put her attention too much on them and quickly shifted her head to the streets outside the noodle shop. She can see many people passing by the shop and she can't help it but counting every people who passing by.

While she was counting with her chin rested on her left palm, suddenly a group of people with black cloak and big hoodie over their heads passed right in front of the wide glass window, where Natasha is seating.

Natasha didn't paid them that many interest as she counting on them.

"50... 51... 52..."

But then she suddenly stop when she realized something was different with this black cloak people. She lifted up her eyes and she staring straight at one of the people who walked at the very back.

The man also looked at Natasha's direction as if there something attracts him to look there. Just when he ready to looked away again, he realized there was a little girl who sat behind the glass window.

Right there, their gazes met and stuck for about five minutes.

The staring moment was interrupted when the man shifted his glance away. He then followed his group without looking at Natasha again.

Natasha was a bit dumbfounded. She feels something weird just now when she met the man's gaze but she didn't know what is it. She can put together the puzzle in her head because she even didn't know where these weird feeling coming out from.

'Hmm, weird. But like I would care.'

The noodle soup which Natasha has ordered arrives. She quickly raised her chopstick and starts eating the noodle with a happy face.

There is nothing more satisfying than eating dinner until she feels full. Natasha has skipped breakfast and lunch because she want to arrived here quickly. She thinks it would be a wasting of time if she stop in some place to eat lunch.

While she was eating, Natasha suddenly remember the man a while ago. She just remember that the man has a very beautiful yet alluring blue eyes.

'And why I suddenly remember about that now? Fool...'

Natasha quickly finished her noodle and after that, she paid it. She went outside again where the streets is still busy and fun of people.

Natasha smiled happily because she finally realized that she was free in this world. Right now, she don't have to worry about herself being insult or mock by the people in the streets. This is because, in the Tyulipe Kingdom, everyone despised her; from a young age to the older one.

Everyone didn't hide their feelings of contempt and hateful gaze toward Natasha. Even though Natasha didn't bother about it but she can still feel so uncomfortable with all the gazes she got from the people.

Right now, no one in this kingdom knew who Natasha is and she can walked freely without getting any disdain or hateful gazes. She can smile or even talk to everyone she met.

This is life that Natasha want; a simple but happy-go-lucky life. She won't be able to stand it if everyone look at her with some disdain gaze...

Natasha walked everywhere with an excited face. She even skipped through her steps everytime she walk. She just looked like a small child that just got out from her home for the first time.

When she walking around and having a good time with herself, Natasha didn't realized that she already walking into the path where there are no many people walking there.

When she realised about it, Natasha suddenly saw a small bubble which emanating a very beautiful green light.

She was enchanted by the light so she walked forward to look in a better angle. Natasha was simply a girl with a big curiosity herself so when she saw something strange like this, she couldn't help but to find out what is the answers.

"What is this?"

Natasha's eyes didn't even blinking when she observed the green light. That is when she realised that the small bubble lights actually produce some glittering spark everytime it glows.

Like she was in a spell, Natasha raised up her right arm, wanting to grabbed the bubble lights.

"Don't touch it!"

Someone suddenly shouts at Natasha when her fingers just an inches away from the bubble. Natasha haven't touch the bubble yet when she heard the shouts and she quickly look in front, where the shouting sounds come from.

Unfortunately, the bubble seems like have it's own life and quickly fly toward Natasha.

Natasha didn't realized about it.

The bubble went up and entered Natasha's mouth.

"Ermph!"

Natasha tried to remove the green bubble but when she realized it, the bubble already popped silently inside her mouth and Natasha could feel a wave of energy suddenly emerged from her body.

Natasha stumbled to the back when the next second, she suddenly feels so hot from all over her body, like she was in the middle of the desert.

Natasha touched her neck with both of her hands and tried to do anything to stop the bubble from entering deeper to her inner body but she couldn't as the bubble already spread through all her body.

'What happen? What is this? Why did I suddenly feels so hot?'

Natasha keep walking backwards until her back reach the wall. She still struggling to removed the green bubble while touching her neck. Seconds by seconds, she could feel her breath become hard and she coughed several time already.

That was when a figure in a black figure jumped out from the rooftop, and rushed to get Natasha.

Natasha's right hand subconsciously moved away from her neck and gripped the man's shoulder, the clothes around her tight grip were already crinkled.

"Hey, are you alright?" asked the man.

Natasha glanced over to the man's face and she saw the same blue eyes. 'Him? Why is he here?'

The man quickly touched her forehead. A few seconds later, a light came out from his palm and spread through Natasha's forehead. Natasha didn't move at all and still staring at the man all the time.

The man with blue eyes also didn't looked away and instead look deeply into her eyes, somehow telling her to calm down as nothing would happen to her as long as he was here.

The lights from the man's palm seems like to give an effect for Natasha as her eyes gradually closed down and she fell down, unconscious.

The man quickly grabbed her before her body could touch the dirty road and he carried her like a precious princess in his arm.

The man looked at Natasha's calm face and he let out a deep breath. "This is not good. Everything is out of control!" he muttered alone.

"Casper!"

The man with blue eyes respond to the shout and turn his head his right direction. A group of people with the same black cloak which Natasha met earlier, rushed toward Casper and saw Natasha in his arm.

"Where did the last drop of the Gem of Life went to?" One of them asked.

Casper closed his eyes for five seconds before he glared calmly at his friends. "It went inside this girl's body. She is now consume the drop of it. We have to bring her back before the Dark Forces came here and take her away."

The face of everyone changed dramatically when they heard Casper's explanation.

"It... It went inside... What? But that last drop are meant for Cassy and Erma!" One of the girls spoke out with an anxiety shown on her face.

"We can't do anything for now. I'm not sure about her current condition but we need to take her back. If suddenly the power of the last drop didn't matched with her, she might die any time sooner," Casper peek a glance toward Natasha.

"This is bad. Master Ozu only predict for two people to consume the drop of the Gem of Life... But why there is three people?"

"Is Master Ozu's prediction wrong or did this girl just come out from nowhere and seizes the last drop?"

"She must seizes it! She must have touch the last drop. If she didn't touch it, she would never consume it!"

When Casper heard that everyone thought Natasha touched the last drop of the Gem Of Life, with an aloof face, he said, "She haven't touch it... The last drop of the Gem of Life entered her body itself."

Again, everyone's face changed dramatically into various expressions.

"Don't waste any time anymore... Let's go. We still need to report this to Master." Casper walked off with Natasha, leaving the other behind.

Everyone: "..."

Why do they feel Casper was somehow different tonight?
