This time the girl slept for two days and two nights. But tonight, she could be seen twitching. Her brows now could be seen faintly. Her snow white skin is being reflected from the beads of sweat present on her forehead.
Her hands feel cold. Her frowning brows could be seen, showing how troubled she is. Faint voices could be heard coming from her.
"No, no, … no … it hurts … fire … save me … no … please no …. Not there … please … ah… AH…. Ahhh!!!..."
"*Gasp* *Huff* * Puff* Haahh …"
"You are up."
" … It- it is you."
"Need water?"
"Ah, no. No. I - I, strangely, do not need it."
"It means you are adjusting nicely."
"Pardon?"
"Oh, my darling, now… now… Do not be so formal with me."
"... "
"Darling, the first thing you need to know now, that this life, the fact that you are alive, means that this life is a gift. It is not compensation like that man said, it is a gift and what you chose."
"A gift, I choose?"
"Yes. You choose. So baby, once you are healed, and I am sure that you can use your powers, I will let you be."
"..."
"Confused?"
"Yes."
"*Sigh* Baby needs to learn. Darling, this world is different. You only need to know this for now. And here, we fight for everything and happiness is above everything. You want to have the best house? Fight. Do you hate someone? Fight. You want to protect someone? Fight. There are plenty of rules here, but as long as you are strong enough and happy, other things do not matter. This is most I can inform you. "
"Wow… I- I like that."
"Baby, you may not like it as much as you are thinking."
" i-"
"Now, hush. I can see that those two balls are listening to you. Since you can't see, I want you to use those two balls as eyes and ears. You better be quick darling, it is hard to do what I asked you to but if you don't, then you will die. There is no other way."
"H-how, how can I do what you asked me to?"
"Focus on your hand and think of a figure. Those two, are your powers, but unlike when others can only use them as a fire to burn everything and ice to freeze everything, your power can do anything. You just need to have enough will to make them.
For example, think as if they are chains, and they will bind your opponent. Think of a shield, and they will protect you. Think of them as a sword, and they will cut like a real sword."
"They are so… powerful? But, how-"
"Yes. They are so powerful."
"How?"
"Baby, everyone is made of these two things. The good and evil. Either there is one or there are both. It does not matter. What matters is that you can control them. Learn it well baby, you just have to do what you like. No one, I mean, no one can take this power from. That is my promise to you."
"... Thank you. For everything."
"Now, the first thing you need to do is, name the dark ball you see and control it. You have to wait for sometime before using the other one. Otherwise your body will not be able to handle it. Good luck darling. Next time I see you, you must tell me what I have kept on the table."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye- Bye. *Muah*"
A smile could be faintly seen on the face of the girl. She just smiled. She smiles over her new powers, her new life. Today there was no flickering light in the room. It was completely dark.
The only man was also away. The only thing to accompany the girl was a chair and a table. And the book that was placed on the table.
In such a dark room, a whisper resonated.
"I will try hard."
