CHAPTER 5 – LOSING HOME
The door opened by itself and he went in."Royal father!" Lotus said shockingly, the amulet is in her hands."Why is the golden amulet here!!!" He roared, making her tremble.The water started shaking violently."Royal father...I suddenly found it amidst my treasures, believe me, Father it wasn't me" she said in defense."You dare betray me? I took you as my favorite cos I thought you were worth it! But now I'm regretting it!" He cried out, his eyes shining blue.Lotus bowed fearfully."Royal father, I swear with my life, it wasn't me...Watergire used magnetic force to take the amulet from her."Anyone there!" He yelled and two guards came in."Take her to the disgrace tree" he ordered and they grabbed her."Royal father!!! Royal father!!! Royal father!!!" She cried out and her tiny voice almost broke as she got dragged to the lawn where the big tree of disgrace is.She was tied to it firmly."Lotus!" Queen Aqua shouted, rushing out."Eonni!" Mul came after her."What's happening, why was she tied to the tree?" Cleo said innocently, coming out too."She dares steal my amulet?" Watergire appeared."Steal?" Aqua said shockingly.Everyone coming for the festival stopped and watched and it didn't take long before the place became full."She stole the golden royal amulet!" Watergire roared and the water became restless.👥 I can't believe this.👥 She has magic already, why would she take the amulet👥 Probably to absorb more powers from it, I could just feel the greed👥 No, Princess Lotus can never do that.👥 But it was found in her room, on her hands.👥 How could she betray his majesty?👥 I still can't believe it.Lotus kept looking at everyone as her ears kept absorbing their words and she quickly kept her face down.Cleo smiled secretly."I'm not sorry, you deserve it," she thought.Sage rushed into the circle and when she saw Lotus, he rushed to her."She stole the royal amulet," Cleo said and he stopped.He looked at Lotus again and stepped back."Your majesty, please temper justice with mercy" Aqua begged."Royal father, please have mercy, please forgive her though I know she can never do it," Mul said."Are you saying his majesty is lying?" Otis said."Curse me if that's what I meant" she replied quickly."Goddess Rivera made the rule about stealing, that anyone who steals, will be banished from here immediately, the same applies to her," Watergire said.AndAndd we appa, appa andwae!" Mul started crying."Your majesty I'm pleading with the crown, please spare her" Aqua begged."Royal father, please," Cleo said, just to look innocent."Lotus, you broke the law of this kingdom by stealing, I'm following the law of the goddess of this river. You are banished.... forever" Watergire said."No...no… don't do that! Your majesty!!" Mul cried at his tail together with Aqua but he quickly moved away and spun around, his amulet shone yellow and the light blinded everyone temporarily.Lotus looked up with wet eyes but she wasn't affected by the light."Eomma," she sobbed."Mul" she whispered and looked at Cleo."I hope you get what you deserve," she said and tears slid out of her eyes as the yellow light sent a large wave.Her ropes loosened and she got trapped in the wave, it started taking her up the river at a fast speed."Lotus!!!" Aqua cried out."Lotus!!!!" Mul shouted and their voices entered her ear as she got rolled out of the river.She landed on the surface and swam to the shore.It's night presently in the human world because their time underwater is different from Earth's.Her legs appeared as she stood.She looked at her legs and then at the river.She just lost her home in the blink of an eye, just like a dream.Tears fell from her eyes as she stood, staring at the river.Only a shiny short skirt and blouse is covering her fresh, irresistible body.She squatted and continued crying hurtfully and as she cried, it started raining heavily. THE MCDONALD'S MANSIONStarr just finished having the dream again and it woke him up.He sat up on the bed and saw his window open though his view was blurry.He's suffering from night blindness.He put on his glasses and walked to the window but immediately he shut it, pains gripped his heart and it started hurting hellishly."!!!" He cried out agonizingly, sweating so much despite the heavy wind blowing outside."My heart! My chest!!!"His glasses fell as he went to his knees."Mum!!! Dad!!! Aaarrrggghhh" He screamed again.It feels like his heart is currently getting hit by something.Judy and Davis rushed in."Honey!" Judy ran to him."Starr!" Davis did the same and Judy held his face, sitting on the bare ground in front of him."Mum my chest! Dad, it hurts! My heart!!!" He shouted again, more sweat covering him."Let's get him to the hospital!" Davis suggested.A heavy thunder struck immediately and Starr passed out."Oh my Gosh! Hospital!!!" Judy called out fearfully.Lotus cried for over an hour and as she cried, it rained and thundered heavily, lightning happened repeatedly.She felt lonely, alone like she was the only one in the human world.The rain stopped when she stopped crying and stood.She started walking away from the river, going into the deep streets of Seoul.The streets are quiet and it's obviously because of the rain.Flashing her blue eyes light everywhere, she continued moving, searching for where to settle.She might be new here but her senses are working perfectly well and right now, she's assimilating their ways of living already.When she was still in Quenshi, she was a lover of books. She reads books about humans a lot so it's just easy.She saw numerous ghosts roaming around the streets and wondered why they weren't going to the afterlife.She decided to just concentrate on her search.She suddenly saw a free spacious land beside a building and decided to build something.CHAPTER 6 – THE REAL FATEShe walked more closely to it and immediately her legs touched the ground, she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, wishing for the magic she needed. It took just two minutes to finish up then she opened her eyes. The blue rays shone on the land. "AriiAriiMannassarri" she spoke and the magic happened right in front of her. The house sprouted out of the ground and she watched as it stood magnificently. It reflects like diamonds and the inside is crystal clear already. Throughout her walk here, she has never seen a house as beautiful as this or as magnificent. It’s surely paradise. She walked into the house and met the garage first. There are two cars in there, a blue one and a white one. She touched it and the use rang in her head. She walked into the house and smiled at what she created. Blue and white lights are everywhere, it was indeed built of diamonds but the interior was decorated with pure gold. Every single couch was made of gol
CHAPTER 7 – GHOSTS vs THE MERMAID PRINCESSThe truth that Cleo is the real culprit filled the whole kingdom already and everywhere she goes, people whisper behind her back, calling her names She had to hide back in the palace but immediately she entered, she met Sage. "Sage..." "So what I suspected was true, you're the one behind it, devil," he said angrily. "Sage tried to understand me, I was just... "There's nothing to understand Cleopatra! She's your sister! How could you..." "You claimed to love her too but you stepped back immediately. I said she took the amulet! You don't even trust her!" Cleo cried out in interruption. "I....that was…" Sage started stuttering. Cleo smiled and came closer. "We're just the same, take it or leave it, you're only obsessed with her just the way I am with you," she said and he looked at her. Before he could say anything, she pulled him closer and kissed him deeply. KOREA.... 7 AM, NEXT MORNING, THE MCDONALD'S MANSION "Honey!" Starr heard
CHAPTER 8 – THE SPARKSOphelia entered the class with her spawns, chewing gum loudly she used a different tie, different from the other ties. Normally the students wear blue ties but she's wearing black, standing out. "Can't wait to see if the new girl will be hotter than me" she said, blowing bubbles from her gum as she looked at her face in her mirror. "No one can beat your face, trust me," Lilac said and she smiled. "You don't have anything to say, Floyd?" Ophelia faced her. "Your face is always dazzling, no match," Floyd said and Ophelia stroked her hair. "Is Floyd a dog? Why does it seem like it" Yolanda said. "Who knows" Rhythm replied beside her and she sighed "I told you I don’t want friends so shush please," Yolanda said. Since she forcefully helped her with the community service yesterday, she has been following her around, insisting on being her friend. "But Yolanda...." Rhythm said. "No buts please," Yolanda said sternly. SCHOOL PARK Lotus's car stopped and sh
CHAPTER 9 – FREAKING PROBLEMS"Starr, I should cut your hand and make it into a frame to paste in my room, you held her hand" Bluey gushed. Martin is still staring at Lotus, not listening to their conversation. "I dunno why, I'm not a fan of making contact with girls but....I couldn't help it, she's perfect" Starr smiled, returning his stare to Lotus. Bluey saw Martin staring too and tapped him. "Tripping helplessly already? See you distract me, but I'm distracted without you, I don't know how to focus baby teach me how to...." Bluey sang and Martin hit him. "Stop making me wanna hit you" he smiled. "But she's hard not to look at seriously, she's a distraction for all the guys in here swears, including me," Bluey said. "Ok attention" Miss Stacy said and they all went silent. "Each department, please flip over to your pages' ' she addressed. "Page 59" Constance whispered to Lotus and she opened too. "We only need a lead pianist and every singer must sing, one
CHAPTER 10 – A WICKED PLAN AGAIN? The familiar scent filled her nose again and she looked up to see Starr, he's just entering the cafeteria with his friends."Those are our class princes, are you crushing on anyone?" Rhythm asked curiously. "Crush?" Lotus asked confusedly. "Do you love anyone? Like at first sight?" Yolanda asked. Lotus took another glance at Starr. "No," she replied. "But why was Starr holding your hand?" Constance asked. "He helped me" "Oh" Yolanda said. Lotus's eyes followed the guys everywhere and Starr started looking for her too. He saw her and smiled. "Guys let's join their table" he said, moving there already. Martin and Bluey followed and when they sat with them, Constance and Rhythm started blushing. They always sit alone but the fact that they're sitting with them presently… "So because of this pretty girl, you sat with us," Yolanda said. "Who won't?" Bluey winked. "Were you scared? Was that why you didn't sing well?" Starr asked
CHAPTER 11 – STUBBORN is GOODNESS"Anita!!!" Lotus shouted and for a while, a short wind blew, Anita was gone when it stopped. "No, no she's my only companion, she's my only one... Anita" she cried slowly. She squatted and continued crying silently, burying her face in her knees. "Eonni" Anita's voice called and she stopped crying suddenly, she looked up to see Anita standing in front of her. "Anita!" She stood, rushing to her. She carried her off the ground, hugging her tightly. "Anita don't go" she sobbed, rubbing her hair. "I hope I don't get punished by the heavens for doing this" the grim reaper said and Lotus quickly looked up to see him. "I've decided to give her more time," he said. "Thanks, I'm so grateful , thanks for not taking her away" Lotus said and he vanished. "I was so scared, I didn't want to leave you yet" Anita said as Lotus rubbed her face. "I love you little one" she said. "I love you too Lotus" Anita smiled, wiping Lotus's tears. "But your tears hav
CHAPTER 12 – IGNORANCENEXT MORNING Starr opened his eyes to see his mom sleeping beside him. He could still remember being in pain last night for some minutes before sleeping off in her arms. He sat up and touched her hair fondly. "Honey" she whispered when she opened her eyes. "Mum I'm sorry, I scared you again," he said guiltily. "It's not your fault, not like you wanted to, so stop feeling guilty" she replied and he hugged her. Davis came in immediately and they broke the hug. "Judy I'm so sorry, I was in the middle of an important conference last night, and my phone wasn't even with me. I missed your calls" he quickly said. "Honey dress up for school, I'll make you breakfast," she said and stood. "It wasn't my fault trust me," he said, trying to hold her but she just walked out without talking. "Gosh! I don’t like it when she's angry with me" he said, sitting beside Starr. "I'll talk to her, don't worry," Starr said. "I trust you buddy" Davis replied and they hit knu
CHAPTER 13 – ANGELIC VOICEShe was about to go in when someone held her. "Starr!" She said, "Are you gonna run again? I thought we were friends?Why does it seem like you're avoiding me?" He said. "I....I... I'm... Lotus touched her hair, thinking about what to say. "You were talking freely with Martin in the morning, why can't you do the same with me?" He asked She finally looked into his eyes and started seeing herself again. The pomelo scent filled the air again and she quickly looked away from him. She took her hand from him and smiled before entering. "Gosh! Did I do something wrong?" Starr wondered. "Are you now talking alone?" Martin appeared. "I'm just worried," he replied. "Ok the kings are complete" Bluey said, jumping in. They went into the shiny big house where various students were already seated, having fun drinking juices, some were eating popcorn and snacks. Lotus is standing in the middle of the place, obviously looking for her friends, all eyes are on he
