Nathan’s POV
I felt a soft lips covering my mouth and then breathing air into it, making me sit up straight and cough all the water stuck in my lungs.
I blink my eyes continuously until my vision clears up and saw Mica wiping her lips up. Her face is as red as tomato and she’s clearly avoiding her gaze at me.
“Glad thing you’re okay now. At least we can go to wherever this other world you’re talking about,” Maria said while roaming her eyes around the area. I also wander in the place and my eyes widen in shock when I saw the familiar trees and the tallest building built with gold and gems a little bit far from here.
“We’re here...” I muttered that made her look curiously at me and back to the surroundings.
“What do you mean we’re here? It’s like Earth in here like, look at those normal looking trees and the sky. They all look the same like I’ve always seen?” Carina asked while shaking her head in disbelief.
“Just look at the – holy sht what the hell was that?!” She shrieked and hid in Gene’s back while holding him tightly on the shirt when a blinking light floats near us.
No, it’s not a mere blinking light.
It’s one of nature’s creatures here in this realm.
“Hi! I’m Dixie, your pretty and cutie fairy and I’m here to guide you back to – Aaah!” She shrieked and flies away when Remus tries catching her in his hands. She tried flapping her wings to get away but got stuck and cannot move.
I slap Remus hands when I saw him controlling the poor fairy’s gravity by using his levitation ability. He gnarled at me and shook his head in disbelief as the fairy got away and hid in my back.
“I didn’t know Master Anton collect people like you, you’re all mean!” She complaint and sprinkle red colored dust in the air.
“What is h—Hachoo!”
All of us start sneezing nonstop as our nose starts getting big and red all over.
“Y’all deserve that you bad --"
Gene caught her and put her in a jar he had in his bag.
I wonder where he got that or why he had that though...
"So what shall we do with this tiny terrible fairy?" He mocked while intently staring at her. He produced a flame from his palms and shows it to Dixie.
"Do you want to be hot too, tiny fairy?" He mocked again and played the fire and the jar in his hands.
"No! You will pay for this!" She shouted in anger that made me froze in position.
"What have you done, Gene?" I muttered while slowly stepping back as a flock of furious fairies come flying at our direction.
"RUN!"
We all hurriedly ran away from the wrath of the fairies, led by the once sweet Dixie that is now flaming red in anger as she shouts.
"Don't let them escape for we will be feasting over their bad bodies!"
--
"This is your fault, Gene! Why the hell do you have to do that?" I took a couple of deep breaths to fill my lungs with air as we had been running nonstop, away from the raging fairies that hunts us.
"Come on, I was just having fun!" He answered back and tightly cover his mouth when we heard flapping wings near our direction.
"I'm pretty sure I heard footsteps here... I will report their action to Master Anton once he gets back," a little voice says as it slowly fades, meaning that they were getting farther away from us.
"That was a close one..." I muttered under my breath and opened my eyes, only to see a pair of tiny orbs flaming with rage while staring directly at me.
"Aha! I knew someone is out here!" She shouts and threw another batch of red dust in front of my face.
My eye starts to itch as my skin starts swelling all over. My nose starts sneezing nonstop as tiny laughter echoes in the forest.
“You little rats, shoo!” I heard Gene’s voice. I can’t see that much but I’m sure he’s producing fire right now as I felt the surroundings get a little hot.
“Catch him, he’s ruining our forest!” A tiny voice shouted while Gene drags me to wherever. I can feel the broken twigs piercing on my skin and I’m pretty sure it does leave a wound on that.
“When I say jump, jump okay?” He commanded. My brows furrowed and before I knew it, we’re already falling to God knows where.
--
“Yehaaah! I knew we can make it, Ha!” I slowly opened my eyes and blink multiple times until my vision gets clear. The itchiness somehow subsided so I shifted my gaze at the person who’s jumping as if he won the lottery.
His clothes were filled with mud and as I shifted my gaze back to me, my teeth gritted in anger as my clothes were all muddy as hell.
We fell from a not so high cliff and landed to this muddy area that reduces the shock and possibility of us having broken bones and I think there should be someone who’s bones had to be broken now.
“Gene!” I shouted and pinned him on to the mud. He soak his face first making me laugh so hard while looking at him.
“You should have seen your face!” I mocked and laughed as he wipe it down and glares at me.
“YOU!”
“They’re here!” I looked at the side and saw Remus, Maria, Carina and Mica running towards our direction. There is a glint of hope on their eyes but suddenly changed when they saw Gene.
“Haha, you look like a pig in the mud, oink oink!” Mica teased and laughed, slapping Remus at the back in intense happiness. The latter just shook his head while the twins covered their mouths to stifle a laugh.
The laughter stopped when a ball of mud is thrown at their direction, making them stop and glare furiously at Gene who has a smug look on his face while holding mud on his hands.
“You think this is funny? Then here, catch!” He shouted and threw multiple mud balls at anyone including me until this became a chaotic muddy battlefield.
--
“Ha, I’m tired...” Mica said as she lays on the mud with us. We were busy watching the blue skies when my body froze when I realized something.
I roam my eyes around and the familiar tall building that shines brightly as the diamonds sparkle under the sun.
“We’re home...”
