The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary

I was marching with a heavy footsteps as I felt my brows almost touching at each other. I was just looking directly at my way while everyone was dodging from the way I was tracing,with them having a petrified looks in their faces, and some are convictions. 

As I turned left, the number of students got diminished almost the half of the population. That place wasn't a pleasent place for these students here. And as soon as I saw no one in that place, I bursted in tears. I am not strong. I am not brave. I am not cold. I am not a vampire. I am just a human with unusual life and character b-but I'm still a human. I may be differ from the standard but that doesn't make me an alien nor a vampire.

Then, I wondered... where does this standard came? From them! Just because someone can't meet the standard that was set by the society doesn't mean their are some 'should' avoid creatures, nor be punished by being unique. Just because a certain someone can't meat the society's standard would make them less human.

I cried instead of making my way towards the Faculty's CR. Once, I tried to eat at a table on the school's cafeteria then, I was ended up being harrased by the bullies, and also being bullied at laughed at. They've poured my milk, juices, and the most annoying part of that was being poured with mango and orange syrup. At first, I was confuse. What did I do to them for treating my this trashy?! Did I angered them? Did I annoyed them? But how? Those were questions playing around my ignorant mind. Later, I found out that most of the population tainted my name as the 'fang woman' . Then, a sudden thought crossed my mind that answered all those questions. 'My mere existence annoy them!'

Many encounters did happen at that cafeteria in between different bullies. I thought, some would pity the situation I was in... but, my every fiber was shaking as I saw them watching me with smiles on their faces. Like, I was some sort of a living toy. A walking bin. Fvck!

I cried silently. I was embracing my knees when I felt someone's presence. I stifled my sobs, afraid that someone might saw me, or I would catch attentions from those poor minded teens.

"I said stop bothering me." I uttered in a weak tone as I did just felt drained. Feeling many intense emotions would definitely consume every energy in my fiber.

"I think you need this." A male's voice hovered. I instantly buried my face at my knees before that someone could see my face. Fvck! "I think you're embarrass having me here, I'll just leave ir here." He added. The moment he got closed to me within just a few inches of our skin, I felt something familiar but strange feeling.

I felt my eyes hardened again. It has a little bang in my eyeballs nontheless, I felt it hardened. I squeezed it tightly as I could but couldn't take that feeling away. So, I slowly showed my face and opened my eyes. But, it was too late. He was then walking away.

That guy was wearing the same boy's uniform of our school. The maroon coat and a black lower tranks. I bit my lower lip and gazed down. There, I saw his blue handkerchief. I looked at it, then looked back his image slowly getting smaller has distance occupied between us.

I picked his handkerchief and wiped my tears away. Fvck! I was about to put it to my bag when my eyes caught something in that handkerchief. I was strange and beautiful at the same time. The embroided pretty rose that uses bloody red thread. By what left me hanging was the embroided sentence, at the top of the embroided rose.

"For you, My Queen." I read. It was nothing unsual but it gave me goosebumps. Fvck! I did shivered as the wind in a certain area breezed gently and calm, like a classy slow rhythm! I could hear it in my hears, and that made me ran away from there! Fvck! There was an eerie feeling out there. Geez! But before I could totally ran away from place, I've heard the voice of the handkerchief's owner saying gently and sweetly the sentence thar was embroided at the handkerchief.

"For you, My Queen Shivana Orasaya." And with just a blink of an eye he was then infront of me. With a bloody and golden mixed eyes made me stepped backwards.

"Always remember me." He added before he disappeared in the thin air. After that, that was the moment I've realized that I was holding my breath.

I looked all around if someone was playing a prank on me but there was no one. That made me unconsciously made the sign of the cross. My lips were quivering and my eyes could still retain how did my eyeballs hardened inside. I swallowed hard and was about to leave when something fell infront of me.

Another handkerchief. A white handkerchief to be precise. I looked through it thinking that there was something embroided in that handkerchief just like the first one, but there was none.

The wind blew again that made me shiver in fear. I hurriedly put the two handkerchiefs in my bag and started walking in a fast pace. The class was about to continue that's why I did went straight ahead towards our classroom. I took a deep breath thinking that Zarviel would annoy me again but the moment I came, she was just silent and probably in her deep thought. After few seconds, our subject teacher came. She is our history teacher but the moment she started discussing, I felt like I lost my interest in everything. And what have happened a while ago kept on bugging me.

'Shivana Orasaya. Who is she?'

The moment my feet touches the familiar floor, I felt all the tiredness of this day. I felt like everything felt so heavy in that day. I grimaced and a little bit saddened when Zarviel crosses my mind. After the moment that I've ran away from from her, on that day she never attempt to get close to me.

I was somewhat relieved but also felt guilty. I know, I was a bit rude but can you blame me? I am having a trust issues. I'm afraid to be attached and dependent to someone! Everything back then was meant to last at the early stage of my life. My childhood was never been fun. And, you can't blame me if I doubt every single person who shows
