chapter 2

'how pretty' thought of the princess while looking at the unusual necklace that he wears. the necklace is a bit different from the others and it seems like Ariel is quite facinated and familliar about it although its her first time seeing the necklace.Now, coming back to her senses again as she again look at the boy's face

'hey kids like us should be at the ballroom you know?..why are you here? said the Princess as she approach him completely and at the same time raising her right eyebrow with a little struggle since the left eyebrow seems wants to be raise too.

The approaching steps of someone unkown made the boy wipe his tears as his line of sight wander and mindlessly look at the girl.

Waiting for the boy's responds but ending up with nothing but stare or rather glare.the princess wait patiently and didn't do anything...but as time flows and the wind blows. 'great...now its becoming annoying'. princess Ariel thought while trying to regain her posture as a 'good patient person'

'are you ignoring my question, that's a bad mannerism of you, you should at least answer me the person who has concerns for you, you know?'- The Princess asked him again with an expectation of answers.

the princess couldn't catch the little movement of flinch the boy did when she said her sentence so for some reason the boy smile at ariel and answers' I'm sorry my lady, but can you please leave now since somehow this place became so irritating' said the boy out of nowhere and it seems like the princess got angry about his obviously insulting statement

'how can he say words like that? to a girl like me? looking closely he have dark blue eyes,

Earlier i thought it was black?wait up!'...princess ariel thought as she cross her arms ' are you saying i'm irritating? questioned back of this twin braided girl

'oh no, my lady but for what i remember i didnt say such rude things to you and your the one who said that' answered back of the Boy

'okay i forgive you' the little girl said while looking straightly of the boy infront of her as she avert her eyes, her reddish eyes sparkles when she saw a sparkly pond not far away from them

'im not actually asking for forgiveness from'--the white haired boy couldn't finish his sentence when he saw the girl he was talking to, was running towards the near pond. Out of nowhere,surprisingly,

he follow her... and are about to grab her small hands but he failed because who does he think the girl he is after to is?. It was a girl who is professional at sneaking and running 'hey come back here! that pond is dangerous!' the little boy scream while panting.Ariel notice the boy panting and was tired which gave ariel an amuse look in her face since the distance that they just run is not that far 'does he have weak stamina well it seems so.'the princess thought as she assume her guess

Now they're now in the edge of the pond

'what do you mean?...its dangerous?' Ariel ask

the boy sigh ' the pond have interesting story or rather its mysterious .'said the boy with rather a scary tone while telling this. He face the little girl infront of her and he grin...hmmm seem like he had a plan

'people says that if you fall in the pond something will pull you to the very depth and will never come back but if you're lucky enough maybe some part of your body will float then you will at least have a proper funeral ...its true so if you value your life retreat now....the white boy said as he swiftly look at ariel

'oh' is what the princess replied 'who would have thought that this beautiful pond is curse?'areil dismiss her thought because her focus now is to try to stop her feet from trembling to protect her dignity and to prevent the boy from gibing her

' you're trembling, just now you look exactly like an old lady...'said the white haired boy with a grin at his face.' you're scared right? i'll escort you inside, it seems like your going to faint if you stay here for a little longer' he chuckle softly as he walk away from her

she was about to follow him when she felt her legs weak as she stumble because of her long attire, she gasp with the sudden situation she's in now. She's going to fall, the princess know that she made a mistake and the consequences is she's going to fall to the pond she just learned about who have fearsome story behind it.Just having a thought of it makes her goosebumps as she heard the boy' voice with his story repeatedly played in her mind thus feeling her legs weak again 'Dahlia' whispered of Ariel as sound of water splashes when it caught the body of the princess

feeling the cold water, her body become numb, unable to feel scared. she can't even think anything as if her mind went blank as her eyes slowy close but before she could completely lose her consciousness she saw someone approaching her, trying to save her

'I can't breath it hurts, help me...Father...mother...I can't'. The 9 years old girl who is currently drowning thought in her deep sleep. it seems like her body fell unconscious but her mind recovered and is still awake

*sob*sob*sob continuesly

what is that noise?someone is crying... who is it?...please help me! hey don't leave me...don't leave me here alone...its cold. she desperately shouted in her mind when she heard the crying slowly fading away.

'what happened? wait No don't! DON'T!!

'Huh...what is this ...someone's voice. who?*throb* ugh! my head it hurts.No... why is my chest in pain? *throb* again... its painful,stop this..someone.

'we'll save him,Everything will be okay'

'HUH its calmed..,why is this voice coming from my head? its a voice..voice...voice....Ariel repeatedly said in her mind.' or maybe someone's memory...She realize. 'but whom?'

i'll find ways so please don't give us up'.

i'll promise it will be okay'.

the place change.what my vision its blurring up...why is this.i can't take this anymore my feelings its piling up its weird why am i feeling sad?

'why? is it because im different!? is that why you can just throw me away!?...

'what? the place changed!, oh my chest hurt again...i feel like crying. but why?..save me someone?!

'it's not like that,can't you understand im trying to protect you this way you'll be safe so leave!'

My body i can't feel them...my feelings its overwhelming... and its cold...

*Sob sob sob*

E-everything will be O-okay...you said it yourself...but now...*sob sob sob* why! you're gone how can you leave me here alone. how can those promises fulfill now, are they just going to be empty shells?

'oh why...what is this Feeling its like i lost something important. my chest feels tight

*whoosh*

AHHHH! KYAAAAAA!!.

Ariel screams when she suddenly felt like falling from a high ground then as she felt this she again heard a strange voice. a voice with a sad tone which made her calm cuz she had no time to scream when she hears someone crying which spoils her fearsome mood

'take me with you...i can't.i don't want to live a life with no you in it...*sob sob sob sob*

cess...incess...Princesss Ariel..

having her name being called out by someone.Princess Ariel hurriedly open her ruby eyes spotting her royal maid 'Dahliaa!'she called her name out.With the sudden movement of her body her head suddenly feel heavy as she felt dizzy

'princess are you alright? i was so surprised when a boy suddenly jump into the pond, then i become more surprised and nervous when i could suddenly sense your presence in the pond so i hurriedly jump in the pond too'. The princess' maid said her mountains of questions in fast mode.

Ariel now looked more confuse than Dahlia of what exactly happened

'i fell then....what?a boy where?'Ariel ask Dahlia as she look around but finding nothing.

so she quickly face her servant with a suspicious look and said ' did you save the boy?'

with the word of her cute master dahlia quickly put an defense shield magic as she jump of the pond again.Unbelievable who would thought that she will forget to save a person.

'He tried to save me even though its dangerous' the princess thought as if the boy really save her well at least he tried.she look at the pond as she wait their return...after a few wait she saw the water moves fater and faster revealing the white haird boy and the one who forgot him

'princess he's safe now' her made siad as he slowly place him in the ground.' he's so pale' the princess become worried.of course with his white hair and white skin he really have no colors surrounding him.

'princess they contacted me. they said that the kingdom was attacked so the king planned to go home Immediately lets go'she said as she extend her arm. 'but how about the boy.'..she questioned as she look at the boy once again

'he'll be fine some servant may look for him as he is from an influential family based from his clothing ' dahlia assured

'then can you turn?'she favored while looking at the nameless boy she knew...'as you please' dahlia don't have much eneegy to complain plus she need to gather as many mana for her and the princess to teleport from the carriages so she concentrate feeling nothing but the mana that speedily flows to her body

'Dahlia lets go' dahlia quickly opened her eyes as she face her princess 'are you done princess? what did you do anyway?..she ask but for some reason Ariel dismiss it by saying

'its nothing big.. now i won't worry if he feels cold..lets go!' as they disappear from their place
