CHAPTER X
The Mistress
“The what?” This is completely ridiculous. I mean does he have to crack a silly joke in the middle of his story?
“I just hope I’m wrong, Cenedy.” He has a confused face and I’m sure it’s the same with me.
“Just who really are you?” Please, he is just a kid. I understand. After I met Sade, I’m not surprised at Sugar’s behavior. But everything about him is perfectly odd.
“I’m the Headmaster.”
“Excuse me?” Wait, did I hear it right or are my ears just playing tricks on me?
“When did you get deaf Cenedy?” He said while walking to the Headmaster’s table.
“But you’re just a child.” I really don’t understand. Our Headmaster is just a mere child?
“My apologies.” He snaps his right thumb and a green smoke slowly covered him. Then suddenly a man with a 6 feet height is now in front of me.
Blond hair, high cheekbones. Long nose and blue eyes. Everything about him screams foreigner. I mean a Greek God.
I thought the Headmaster of our school is old like Dumbledore.
“Done checking me out?” He smirked.
“But why?”
“I’m more comfortable if I’m a kid. I mean less power comes out of me.” I asked again. Because I really hate the topic about Sceill. Not that I’m jealous, but why waste time if I don’t have one?
“So what are you saying that I’m the Mistress other half?” I asked. I mean is this a joke time? Because seriously it’s not funny.
“I have to test my hypothesis. But I bet that you are. She had an eye on you the moment you stepped in this academy.” He sounds sure.
“I know that you’re just mistaken. You are just wasting your time to a Scape like me.” I want to go out of this room. It’s suffocating me.
” No Cenedy. I’m almost sure of it.”
“There’s the word ‘almost’, please, my mind been full of questions since last week.” I sound annoyed but he hasn’t given up.
“I wanted to tell you for a long time but this is the right time.” He stands up from sitting and pulled my arm.
“Right time? How come this is the right time? I was flooded with questions lately, and I bet this is the worst timing that you told me.” I almost shouted. I know my boundaries. He seems young but I know that he is the Headmaster that they all respected.
“Because of that book… The Book of the First Mistress finally showed itself to you.”
With that I faced him. “What do you mean?” I asked confusedly.
“The mysterious book you found in the library. Do you know that only a few can read it and to think that book has mind on its own.”
I am full of rage now. Everything seems a mess. Me? A Scape? How come?
I’m really annoyed now. They want me to this mess that in the first place I have nothing to do with it?
“Cut the crap now. Please, you know, you’re just confused. I won’t believe even a tiny bit of what you said. So what if the book showed itself to me? It doesn’t assure you that it’s really me. You said that there’s a few.”
I nearly stormed out of the room when he said something that made me stopped.
“And what about those dreams that you have when you were young? I can explain all of those.”
I clutch the doorknob tightly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
