Chapter 24

I looked as serious as possible and hoping for the old lady to continue her foresight

She quietly stares back at me and finally said the last foresight

"Let me tell you the one's i said earlier..."

She told us seriously while she held my hand

*nod nod*

I nodded hurriedly and awaited for her telling

"First foresight i see is be careful of the Red eyed Seductress"

I gulped down my saliva to hear the Red eyed Seductress again

Everytime I hear that name my body flinched and seemed scared

"The second foresight i told you was beware of Fire"

That too....

My body did not react but remembering the grass lady's words that something Hot was approaching

Made me nervous and thought that what if the Hot and Fire were connected?

"And for the third foretelling I shall say is be careful of handling the Darkness within"

The Darkness within?

What does that even mean?

"And for the last foretelling I shall tell"

For some reason this last one makes my heart....pound so much

It did for the last 3 tellings

But this time my body reacts more differently my body starts to shiver all over again

"Young miss this last one is close, watches your every move and can be a potential danger or be your ally"

It can be my Ally?

"What is it old lady?"

Josefina asked in my place all of us were hooked

I can tell all of us were nervous and so is Cythe

"The last foretelling I see is someone young, brave, but could be a danger or an ally"

"Yes we get it now tell us, what's the hint"

Claude asked calmly but his tone of voice seemed impatient

"Watch out for the Pink Jewel"

!!

Pink Jewel?

I don't know why but my body stopped shivering

Did I just imagine it?

I thought to myself

"Now now kiddos!"

The old lady starts to push us away

"W-wait old lady?!"

Josefina shouted as she tried to push the force of the old lady

"Now now young miss I may be old but i'm stringer than I look, Now out!"

As she completely pushed us out of the door

"We paid you double old lady"

Cythe angrily said as he looked at the old lady who was by the door

My service is no longer available but if you want more foretelling go and come back with golds tomorrow!"

*Slam!*

The old lady reasoned as she slams the door infront of our faces

"Tch"

Claude could be her snapping his tongue

We all then started to walk away but I looked back to see josefina looking at the store we were kicked out in

"Ina!"

I shouted calling for her attention

Josefina then turned to look at me then nods her head and came running to me

....

....

There was still a long walk so we decided to look around

It was a good time too since there's a festival here in town

Josefina seemed excited and pulled Cythe Immediately

She then ran towards the games as she pulled Cythe with him

Cythe tries to stop her but failed to do so

They think they're the only one who can have fun?!

I can too!

It wasn't a contest but I felt I was losing!

Or maybe I was just jealous But anyways!

I looked around to around and saw the LOVE of my dreams!

Cotton Candy!

I haven't tasted those when I was Athena

But now I can taste it since cotton candy existed in this novel!

This is the only thing that I would thank Author for!

"Look Claude cotton candy!"

I shouted in excitement as i pointed at the stall the cotton candy was at

"Would you like some?"

Claude smiled at me sweetly

I looked back at him and nodded my head happily and excitedly

"I'll go get them for you"

He smiled again

And I smiled back

He then walked towards the cotton candy stall

"Hehe Claude has grown up now"

As he went further and further to where I was at

I waited for Claude to come back but he was coming back late so I decided to walk around

Until I saw the fountain and I went near it

It's a wishing fountain!

My face lit up seeing the fountain

I quickly grabbed the bag that was hidden inside my dress

And took a gold out I put my hands together and made a wish

"....."

Done!

I finished saying my wish but then Claude wasn't here yet so I decided to wait some more

And walked until I arrived at a beautiful place where there was a pond in the middle

it's quiet but there was still people around

...

"Claude is really taking his time"

As I looked down and kicked a rock into the pond

Since Claude wasn't here yet I start to think the old lady has said earlier and Grass lady mentioned

Red Seductress, Hot, Fire, Darkness within, and the Pink Jewel

I'm not sure who or what this are but when I heard the Red Seductress and the Pink Jewel

My body began to shiver

*Wooshhhhh*

?

It became silent...

Around me became silent, people started to disappear and I wasn't even aware of it

"Athyyyyy~"

Someone whispered

But this wasn't a normal whisper it was a whisper through the wind

It was like the wind was the one who's calling me

*Giggle Giggle*

?!

.W-what?!

I hear giggling from afar

I kept turning and looking for who it was calling and giggling

But there was no one except for me...

Then Dark mist then starts to cover my surroundings

"W-what is happening!"

I shouted

I covered my ears and closed my eyes and wished for all of this to be just a dream

....

....

There was silence again...

I was scared but I still looked up to see someone from the distance

I can't see her face as she was covered by the mist

"Hello?"

I asked

But she just stood there looking at me I also stood there looking at her

Her legs weren't moving!

She wasn't even walking!

An yet she slowly and slowly starts to get near me

I panicked and turned to ran the other side

*Pant Pant!*

I wasn't getting out of the mist

And it was like I wasn't even running

I looked back to see where the lady was and she still wasn't there

*Pan pant*

So i looked down and touched my knees because I was dead tired and needed air

But I noticed a dark silhouette of her feet infront of me

*Dugdug Dugdug*

My heart beat went faster and faster as I slowly look up and saw

Red eyes!

"Kyaaaaaaaaa!"

I shouted horrified by what I saw

I quickly moved a few steps away from her

"Athy it's just me ******~"

Who?

I looked at her confused but scared at the same time

"...."

She went silent

"Oh! silly me Athy doesn't remember my name"

I can see her silhouette her hand touching her face

She did not moved an inch and stood there looking at me

My vision went blurry and I became nauseous

But I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my neck..... It was like I was stabbed so hard that I would die!

It hurts!

"Athy"

Someone kept on calling for my name

Who is it?

"Athy?"

They called me again

Who?

Someone grabbed my shoulders from behind

Iquickly got scared and turned around to see who it was

!!

I then saw a Pink Jeweled eyes

"Kyaaaaaaaa"

I quickly screamed

I was horrified to see the one the old lady had predicted

"Get away from me!"

I jumped back and pushed away the hand that grabbed

"Athy!"

Someone then grabbed me from behind

My vision then quickly returned to normal

...

I looked at my back to see the one who grabbed me it was Cythe

He looked like he was panicking

He was sweating and I could head his heartbeat getting faster as he pants

"Cythe what are tou doing here?"

I asked him with my face still pale and feeling nauseous

When someone called for me

"...Athy?"

I heard a familiar voice

I then looked straight to see Claude infront of me

"Claude?"

I asked

I looked down to see 2 cotton candies on the floor

!

D-did I pushed his hand away?

Was his hand the one I pushed?

I looked back up to Claude to see his face horrified and pale face

His eyes went blank and he kept on mumbling

.....

And then slowly tears start falling down to his cheeks

"Athy..."

He said sadly

Claude?!
