Green and Blue | Part 1
Callista was having a happy morning because of what had happened yesterday and could even see butterflies and rainbows from how happy she was, but it seemed like everybody wants to ruin her mood.
"Isn't it rude to stare at a woman like that?" she said and glanced at his direction. Just a meter away from the bench she was sitting, a man in a suit appeared underneath a tree holding a crane. "Oh, my. I'm surprised to know you can sense me" he said with a smirk.
"Its rather uncomfortable for me to know someone is watching me from a distance" she replied "I see, my apologies" he bowed and moved two steps forward "My name is Sebastian Don Estelle and I'm happy to meet the person who has been ruining my plans, Lady Callista" she could perfectly sense the dark magic surrounding his body and even from those beautiful yellow eyes, she could see the desire from it.
Rather than being afraid she was delighted and excited "I see. So you know my name" she smiled, her eyes was looking down at him "You must be the man that my familiar encountered a few weeks back" she said "That red butterfly? You sure do have interesting tastes" he chuckled.
"I'm honored" she grins before tilting her head "May I know the reason for your visit?" she asked "Oh, yes" he said as if he only realized it.
"I would like to warn you of what will happen in the next few days. I'm afraid that one of your people might get hurt or even granted eternal sleep if it's not stopped" her eyebrow mentally twitched in annoyance at his tone as if explaining things to a child "May I also add that a phenomenon might happen inside the Academy tomorrow or the day after" she stayed calm.
"I see" she answered "I'm honestly excited to what decision you will choose. You're such an interesting person, Lady Callista. Please do not disappoint me" he said, a mysterious glint passing his eyes
"May I remind you that I am not like your useless men that couldn't do anything right. Please do your threats properly where I would be surely threatened" she said and copied how he had said please to mock him.
"That makes it more interesting, My Lady" he smirked as she smiled at him "Then I bid farewell" he didn't wait for her answer as he disappeared into the shadows. She fully understood what he meant, he was currently treating her as the center of his entertainment.
He knew.
He knows that she knew who was doing it.
"Excuse me" she looked behind her to see a freshman girl "What can I help you?" she asked sweetly "Lady Sofia is asking for your presence" she said and her eyebrows twitched in annoyance "I see. Can you lead me to her?" she asked so the girl nodded.
She was guided inside the Dining Hall and went up to the second floor where Sofia was seating in a two person table. "I'm sorry to call you out like this so suddenly" Sofia said with a polite smile and glanced at the freshman.
"Thank you for calling her for me. You may leave" the girl blushed as she walked away "Please have a sit" Sofia motioned to the sit in front of her as Callista unwillingly followed. "Why did you call for me, Lady Sofia?" she asked and held the teacup that Sofia got ready for her.
"I'm sorry if the tea is cold. Let me heat it up for you" she said and was about to call a servant when she called her name "Lady Sofia" Callista called with a smile so Sofia stopped "I'm kind of busy right now so can you say your intentions on calling for me?" she asked wanting to leave right now.
"I see. I'm sorry if I bothered you" she apologetically smiled "Its no problem" she replied "So I called you here because I want to tell you something" she said as she traced the teacup's mouth.
'Obviously..' Callista mentally rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry if I'll offend you but I'll say this bluntly" Sofia said as her friendly expression disappeared and was replaced by a serious one "Please stay away from my fiancee" she said and Callista didn't know whether to laugh or just pounce on her.
"I'm sorry but why would I do that?" she asked "My brother saw you kissing my fiancee yesterday and I do not appreciate you seducing him while I'm in the same campus as you. So please, while I have kindness left, stay away from my fiancee" she wanted to scoff at her but bit back her tongue.
The image of the man who was following her at the exchange program flashed in her mind. If she saw that bastard she would surely beat him up to a pulp. "Did your brother mentioned how he kissed me back?" Sofia stood up in rage from her words.
"How dare you!" she exclaimed in gritted teeth "I'm sorry, your Highness" she said and mocked her using her title and stood up so she was face to face with her "But before you start telling me to stay away can you ask your beloved fiancee why he let me kiss him in the first place?" her face was red with rage.
"Because you seduced him!" she argued "Oh, my. Seducing is a word used to try letting men love you so its not a woman's fault if the man was seduced, right?" she smiled seeing her enraged face "Please ask Ignis next time if his feelings is also sincere" Callista turned around in satisfaction only to see a man staring at them.
He had pinkish white hair and blue diamond eyes and she already knew who he was. All of his facial features was similar to the angry woman behind her.
"Seige" Sofia called out when she saw her brother so the man glared at Callista.
'Seige, huh?' she thought.
She continued walked until she passed walked passed him "You.." her footsteps stopped when she heard him muttered "What right does a commoner like you have to hurt my sister?" when she looked back she saw him glaring at her "As a commoner? No. But as a person? I assure you that I have many rights to do so" she smirked and just like his sister his pale skin was red with anger as she walked away.

Callista was walking back to the dormitory when the ground suddenly shook that stopped the students from walking. Then suddenly, a loud noise suddenly echoed in the whole Academy and when she looked to the right, in the middle of the garden a big tree grew that it was almost able to reach the four story house of the dormitory.
Its branches was big and thick but the interesting about it was not how big and tall it was but how the leaves was a mixed color of blue and green.
What made the situation worse? The speakers boomed loudly as the voice of Professor Calvin was loudly heard.
"Attention all students! Please all evacuate to your respective dorms and do not leave until the Dorm Madam and Heads gave you permission to leave. As of now, please close your doors and windows and even close your curtains. Make sure that not a wind would enter your rooms. I repeat, please evacuate—"
He repeated his words as the students hurriedly ran towards their respective dorms while Callista was rooted in place in the middle of the chaos. That familiar scent tickled her nose again. She was sent back to reality when someone held her arm "What are you doing?! We have to go!" she stared at Emily's horrified face as she pulled her.
Was it because the scent of the mysterious tree was spreading or is it because of a different reason?
Her eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the back of Emily's head "Emily, you.." she wasn't able to finish when they entered the Dormitory and doors was automatically closed behind them. When Callista looked around the windows and curtains were all closed.
Just what the hell is happening?
