Chapter Four

Chapter 4

Demitria Frostine

Two of the guards locked my hands at the back and pulled me aggressively. Although it hurts, I pushed myself to tolerate it. I don't even know why I can't use my element here.

We walked through a dark and long hallway. In front of us was still the same guy who went into the gate.

The guy still walks in front of us. His hair was violet and he's tall. He doesn't seem to smile a lot because he has this effect when he's near.

The way he walks says a lot about him. More like, he's one of the best here. Maybe he's a member of the Ardens.

I stopped looking at him and enjoyed the interior of the Academy. I am not sure if this will be my last but I think I should treasure this one in a lifetime experience.

I can't stop myself from looking at every inch of the academy. from the roofs, the chandeliers, the walls, and even the carpet on the floor.

The design of the interior looks old yet it's still elegant.

I can't believe it!

I'm inside my dream!

I'm walking through its hallway, although my hands were tied I still feel great.

I was in this position but I still feel happy with what I am seeing right now.

The windows are open and I can still the night sky and stars from here. As we walk, the cold breeze of the wind brushes through my skin that didn't even help to make me feel better. It just getting worst.

I felt cold as I saw my dirty clothes with holes in them. Maybe I got thins from the small branches in the forest. I didn't have the time to check everything because I thought I'm out of time.

But before my eyes, a huge double door opened in front of me. I was hesitating to enter but I was pushed this time that caused me to fell on the ground.

No one helped me to stand and the room was filled with laughter. When I tried to lift my head, I saw his face straightly looking at me.

Maybe he felt pity, that I was nothing compared to all of them.

Maybe he thought that I was stupid to do such a thing and I dug my own grave.

I change my gaze and look at the ground as he helps me regain my posture. He never said anything and he left me in the middle of the room, with my hands tied at the back of my body.

"Why did you tried to enter the premises?" A woman of her middle-age suddenly spoke but her eyes were not looking at me.

"I need to see the headmaster, "I answered.

"Okay, but why do you need to see him?" Another woman asked. This time it was the red-haired lady with brown eyes. She looks nice and nothing at all.

"I think it's between me and the headmaster."

The middle-aged woman lifted her finger and I am not sure what it means but I felt a sudden pain in my back.

Little did I know, that was a signal.

"Again, why?"

"I am s-sorry, but I j-just need his h-help... To save my friend."

"How can we be sure that you have good intentions?"

"Then let me talk to him!"

I felt another pain as I was struck by a gun again. It hit my head that made me fall. I almost lost my consciousness but I needed to finish this judgment in hope that I could see him.

I still look at them with my blurry vision. I felt dizzy as blood starts coming out of my nose. I even cough with the blood but I think no one will care about it.

This was torture.

"M-my brother...he was k-kidnapped... by.. B-black shadow n-ninja... The h-headmaster offered met-to study here fo f-free.."

Once again, for the third fucking time, I became a laughing stock of the room. Their laughs are getting too tiring to hear. I closed my eyes as I tried to contain my feelings but...

"A street rat like you don't fit here. Try harder next time."

I opened my eyes when I hear it. No one called me a street rat before nor anything else. No one knows how hard I fought to survive except River.

I looked at her and imagined that I am strangling her with my ice but I was shocked when Ice started to grown on her neck skin and she started to turn red, while I screamed in pain as I felt a sudden pain like electrocuting my whole body.

"It was her! She's using her element!"

It was almost chaos.

It was me, but I didn't even know how I did that. I almost wanted to laugh at the situation but the electricity keeps hurting me.

I badly want it to stop but I don't know-how. Then the torture began again.

I received kicks and was repeatedly struck by a gun. My body can't even felt pain anymore. It feels numb. The electrocution stopped already but not the torture.

Maybe this will be my end.

"Sophia! What is the commotion all about?!"

I heard a man spoke as everyone became silent. My vision was already blurry and all I could see was black pants and shoes standing in front of my eyes.

"Demi!"

I don't feel anything but I know he carried me. My bruises and wound supposed to hurt, aren't they?

"I was late because I went to the town to get her, she was telling the truth! I offered her to study here for free."I heard him said. His voice sounds familiar and I guess He is carrying me.

The headmaster... is carrying me.

"How come you end up with a decision like this?!"

"Because at her age, she is twice greater than you." He said coldly and started walking.

"I'm sorry, I came late.."

I heard him said before I closed my eyes.

This day is tiring, It almost consumed my energy for a month...
