Chapter 18: Rising [Hemiko toga][2/2]
On the national skating stadium, wiping out the sweats…
[Congratulations! Mahi. You have done it!]
As Shoto congratulates me on winning the Junior skating competition.
[Nii-chan! I'm sad, why didn't you come here in person?]
[Something came up, sorry. And when are you going to stop calling me oni-chan.]
[Ha ha ha, I may, one day. I'm hanging up, it's time for the prize. ]
[Okay, I'll watch from the tv]
My name has already been announced. I won by 0.5 points, this is fate.
[Now entering, Ito Mahi. This year's junior skating competition winner! Mahi has shown us the harmony of skating and quirks…and many other possibilities,]
Thousands of people are watching me.
The spotlight fell on me… I saw many familiar faces, mommy smiling ear to ear. She's wearing her hero costume today, looking beautiful. Not only mom but Grandpa and Grandma too.
Fai, Neji, and Momo are also present at this moment.
Can't believe I'm standing here.
Teardrops of happiness fell on the iced surface.
I'm already in my position. The chief guest Will arrive shortly.
Suddenly All the lights went off. Snowflakes were falling from the top and the spotlight fell on the entrance.
A woman entered the arena, She was wearing an emerald green of the - shoulder dress made out of ice with a right knee-high slit.
(Snow glows white...….) as the crowd went crazy when the song began.
[Pro hero Elsa! The ice Queen! ]
I got excited too, She's my idol.
Soon the live performance ended, and She was coming my way.
"Chill out, Mahi." she gave a smile. She might have seen me being awkward.
She approaches me, having a silver leaf crown in her hand.
I leaned my head down.
"You have a bright feature ahead. You have done something this big live in front of thousands and millions of people, where It was so difficult for my crew to make it possible. I'll have an eye on you, Mahi."
I stood up straight. In front, a huge ice castle standing.
Many roses were falling on the rink from the audience and Mahi couldn't stop his laughter.
(✧Д✧)→
Mahi came back home the day after the competition. Mahi missed a lot of classes for this competition.
Mahi's relieved now and ready to go to school.
He'll be going to school from his grandpa's house. So he left home a few hours earlier than usual.
Within 2 hours, he reached school. He was surprised, he saw many of the school places wrapped in yellow tape.
"Something happened here!?"
As he was going farther he saw a few of the police. And heard an ambulance noise.
"Hey…Fai…!" Fai went dashing throw out the crowd in front of Mahi. Fai did not give sight to Mahi.
Mahi made his way into the crowd.
Mahi's stunned. There's a boy with blood all over him. Fai's there, flapping her golden wings.
On the opposite sight of the room.
A second-year girl student was tied up by the police guarding her.
A fair-skinned girl, having a pretty face. She has slightly inward-tilting bright yellow eyes with thin slits, making them somewhat resemble those of a cat, and her wide mouth is also rather feline, as both her upper and lower canines are more pointed and longer than the rest of her teeth, giving her a vampire-like appearance. Her hair is a pale, dirty ash-blonde and is styled into two messy buns, with numerous wild strands sticking out at all angles from their centers and where they're fastened, a straight fringe, and two chin-length side bangs to frame her face.
[Himiko toga]
More or less there was blood dripping from her mouth.
"What happened here?" Mahi asked one of the witnesses.
'That girl…a psychopath! She said she has a crush on that boy and she went wild… She took a knife!..... And then she-she was drinking his blood! A real vampire. '
Himiko Toga was slightly smiling, the cops took her away. While everyone present here was giving a death glare.
Mahi then noticed Fai coming toward him putting her head down.
"Fai…?"
Fai has her eye watered. "I Couldn't help…"
Mahi hugged her but she wouldn't stop crying. Deep inside his heart, some unknown feelings were rising…
