The Search for Freedom

Kaila

Alicia was a little bit choosy as she didn't want me to call her by real name. She was assuming that she was too young, though she was already thousands of years. Though we were always with each other, she didn't told me anything about herself and her family when she was still alive. What I only knew about her was that she was a spirit or demon named Alicia who wanted me to call her as "Alice" because she was a bit choosy.

"Let's go now. Don't worry about anything because nothing wrong will happen as long as I'm here with you," Alicia reminded. "He's just a little ant for me."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

We walked towards the spot where the man was standing, but he wasn't there anymore, maybe he went inside his house. The house was small and simple, there was a wooden gate surrounding it; plants and animals too. This place was nice in breeding animals and that might be the work of the people here.

There was no noise which could be heard, everything the silence waited; therefore, I tried not to make any noise, so that the man couldn't notice that someone was coming. I jumped on the high wooden gate, though it was five meters high and with pointed tips. Other people didn't know I'm good in high-jumping, I had been doing it before, when I was young.

Alicia didn't need to jump on the wooden gate, and she even chuckled seeing me trying hard to jump. She just passed by on the wood, she could also teleport herself inside from outside. I realized how important magic and power was. They could help me to save myself in dangerous situation, and I could do many things without exerting too much efforts and wasting time.

We were going to the door when it suddenly opened though nobody was there. I was surprised when something abruptly came out with a high-speed. It stopped by the wooden gate behind us. When I looked back, I was appalled of what I saw. I could not believe it was the man who lived in the house and the man who was destined to fight me. He was so speedy that I could not even recognized when he passed by us. As what I expected, he wasn't a normal man who would die easily. We'd seem to have a long pursuing with him.

He looked at me and asked, "Miss, what are you doing in my lawn? Don't you know I can complain about and imprison you of what you're doing?"

What a pretty kind man! He had a perfect high nose, brown eyes which seemed to be telling something I couldn't understand. His curly, dark brown hairs looked like thin noddles, his thick, black eyebrows lying an inch by his shining eyes, and his high eyelashes were curled upwards, and some hairs on his chin.

He was taller than me and even to Alicia. He was wearing a white shirt striped with black fabrics weaved in a bullion-style and green trouser. However, his handsomeness could not be measure through his outside appearance, but what was inside his heart.

"Hey! Are you a thief? Why you're still standing there? You'll get out of my lawn or you're waiting for me to drag you out?" He asked.

He was just handsome, but obviously snobbish. I hoped not all handsome males were snobbish like him. Maybe that was the reason why he neither had a girlfriend or wife, because matured women would not want to have a boyfriend or husband with a bad demeanor, and I'm one of them. Those grim man could make my future miserable. Well, I could not judge him, because everyone had their own belief and everyone needed to respect that.

"I'm sorry sir but..." I hadn't finished my words when Alicia interrupted.

"Kaila! Why are you saying that? Don't tell me you're enthralled by him? He looked handsome, there are many other men out there, so don't be feel sorry to that snobbish man, kill him now and this will end," Alicia ordered. "Wait!" I interjected. "I can kill him without haste, he's not too handsome at all."

"Hey girl, are you a deft? Or crazy that you're talking alone?" He walked towards me in his lovely irritated manner. "You're trying my patience, you really wants me to drag you out of my yard, huh?" He seized my arm, but I wasn't aware of it.

He was so strong, but staring at his face, I couldn't feel pain of his firm grip on my arm. He was going to dragged me outside his lawn when I woke up to reality, I should not let my admiration for him win, so I punched his face. He jolted and leaned on the wooden gate. I haven't expected he was so weak, or I was so strong that he was shaken though he was bigger and taller than me.

"Shit! Do you really want to fight me?" He scowled. "What did I do to you that you enter in my lawn and dare to punch my face?"

For second time, I attempted to give him a blow, but he defended it. He was so fast, and I'm surprised when he suddenly grabbed my arm, he slung me across the air with his string arms and thrown me outside the lawn.

I was filled with terror, but at the same time, thankful that there wasn't a cliff there, but the friendly weeds had caught me. I realized I could trust nobody who could save or catch me when I fall, not even Alicia. I only had myself, because even the ground sometimes would hurt me.

After that, the speedy man suddenly disappeared from the spot where he was. He seemed to be a lightning with his speed as he disappeared in just a blink of an eye. That speedy man might be busy that he was in haste.

Alicia was still in the lawn, as if she had lost her kindness. She didn't even fight the speedy man or stop him from escaping, she was just standing there and gazing at her feet. It was confusing why she let that man elude, though she wasn't doing that whatever happened. She was the one who told me to kill anyone, but then it seemed that she'd changed.

I stood up and stretched my bones. I got inside the gate where Alicia was. We would need to pursue that man in order to kill him. It was my mistake that I didn't completely terminate him as what Alicia told me to do, because it would be difficult to catch him if he'd escaped, and he did.
