Misfortunes

I woke up at the dawn of next day. Nothing about the room has changed since yesterday, rather it looked much more empty in the dawn light. I stood and walked toward the only window in the entire room, looks like others had a campfire at night, there’s a black patch in the fort yard which was not present ‘til yesterday. It feels like I’m going to be abandoned again since I doubt I had any power let alone prove it. There is a knock on the door while I was self-pitying.

‘Knock'

[Come in.]

It is Ms Agatha, she was in her usual attire and she had her black hair in a ponytail, she has a beautiful face and black eyes. It is my first time seeing her face, and I find myself unable to look away.

[Would you refrain from staring at me?!?]

[Oh!, I’m sorry.]

After her objection, I didn't dare to look at her again, maybe she got mad and I can't blame her for that.

[Get to the ground floor for breakfast.]

I nodded at her, making her know that I got the message and followed her to the ground floor, there in a room laid my breakfast on a table which was two slices of toast.

‘Growl'

Suddenly a loud growling sound came from my stomach. I finally realised how much hungry I actually am, since I’ve not eaten since yesterday, in my previous life I adapt to being hungry since on one was there to tell me otherwise.

Toasts were slightly burned but they taste alright, while I was eating six people come in the room as well. One of them was the driver, Sylvia, Emilia and her daughter Lily were there too so as two people I don't know.

[Since we are all here, why don’t was introduce ourselves.]

Sylvia suggested with a cheerful voice.

[Fine, I’m Agatha, I guess you already know that.]

[I'm Light.]

[I'm Emilia and she's my daughter Lily]

[I'm Lara.]

[Elsa]

Everyone Give their introduction, Agatha looked the eldest among them, followed by Light and Emilia, Light has blue eyes and the same coloured shoulder light hair. Next, come, Lara, and Elsa, Lara has white hair and silver eyes which looks kind of scary and Elsa has blonde have and golden eyes which goes along perfectly with her brown skin.

[You don't need to introduce yourself as we know all about you.]

Said Agatha whose words are most likely directed toward Sylvia. Now that I think about it all of there’s introductions were to her rather than me, I’m treated as furniture by them which isn’t entirely new for me. Maybe due to this little Lily come trotting my way and said with a playfully adorable face.

[Don't be sad, I’ll talk to you. My name is Lily and you are.]

So cute!

[I’m.., R…]

I was about to her when someone stomps on my feet and that someone was none other than Emilia.

[Who told you to talk to Lily listen, boy, I hate you so you better not give me any reason to kill you, understood]

[Yes ma’am]

After that, l, Sylvia, Agatha and Light went to the fron the yard where Ms Agatha announced that we will be going to have self-defence classes starting from today, first weaponry from Light, then hand to hand combat from Elsa. I had to learn how to read and write as well since apparently, Sylvia was already literate I’m going to be only one who can't read nor write.

************

In the following five days nothing change from the usual, I kept myself mostly to my room the only time I had a company was during the classes or when Lily visits me but she usually comes to bully. I realize that little angles can also turn into little devils sometimes the hard way.

I went to the ground floor for my class, we have that in the front yard, and my only classmate is lily a three-year girl, which is slightly depressing but my main source is our teacher Emilia. Today we are going to study literature. The language we are using in this world is called sodomism, which is not any different from English apart from the alphabet are different, so while I can speak it I neither can write nor read it.

In the past five days, I learned that this world is seemingly normal, the main occupation of people of four kingdoms is agriculture while the industries are just started to come up in the main cities of the kingdom of Atlanta. The whole kingdom has seven holy cities namely Electra, Maia, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope, and Merope and we are currently at the outskirts of the capital city of Sodom. Apart from the king, the pope held the most power in all the kingdoms in this world.

There are also many myths about the existence of gods, the church believes that mankind is blessed with their grace, while other half-human races such as elves, dwarfs and vampires are fallen. Then there are witches who are said to be the devil’s reincarnation or normal women captured by them but in either case, they are killed on sight in the name of God.

After the class, Lily asked me to play with her and by playing all I have to do is stand still and let her hit me with a ball made up of a piece of wood, well it was Emilia who invented that after all.

“Ouch!”

It really hurts when hit by that on the shin or forehead even when your opponent is Lily and she knows that.

After an hour of beat down Lily finally stopped but only because she lost the ball and went to search for it in the woods. This might be my chance to escape neither Emilia nor Lilly are here, in fact, no one seems to be at the house at the moment which is strange, well whatever I’m going to my room.

[Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!]

As I was walking away from front yard a scream resounded in the air which sends a shiver down to my spine, I ran toward the source of the sound without any care in the world about it being a trap or anything, after five minutes I reached a cliff but the source of that scream is still unknown.

“What in the hell happened to Lily”
