Chapter 19

Serena's POV
"What if I fell back there?!" I hissed at Jester but he just laugh at me.
"I already catch you." And he laughed. "You should be thankful I catch you back there."
I scoffed as I rolled my eyes at him. "Is that it? Okay, thank you huh. I almost died back there but you manage to catch me." I told him sarcastically.
"Your always welcome honey." He said and started walking away.
"Excuse me? I have a name! Stop calling me that!" I yelled.
But he didn't turned back and just continued to walk away. Wtf?
"Geez!" I muttered as I turn back marching my way back to our room.
As I enter inside, Calla's yell is what I heard first.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP YOU TWO!!"
She's standing infront of Jas and Max who looks shocked at Calla's yell. She isn't angry but she's irritated. I bet this two had a misunderstanding again.
"You don't need to shout Calla. We can hear you." Jas said after recovering from the shock.
"True. We aren't deaf." Max agreed, now smiling.
Calla irritatedly brush her hair. "That's it. I'm out of here." she said and quickly went inside our room.
"Wait, we are still talking Calla. Wait a minute!" Jas yelled but Calla didn't even turn around.
I shook my head. Tsk. Tsk. This two really. If they have misunderstanding, it's always Calla that they run to. I am wondering though why they don't go to Aya instead. That girl is so full of knowledge and I know she'll know the right words to say to this two.
"Hi you two." I said and finally walk inside.
"Oh, your here Serena. Wh---"
"I'll sleep Jas. Let's talk tomorrow. Lock the door if you two will leave. Good night!" I said cutting off whatever Jas had to say.
I know, they'll disturb me. I can still hear them and Max calling me but I didn't turn around.
I slept beside Calla as I entered our room.
"Did they left?" Calla ask as she peaks through the comforter covering her face.
I giggled at her. "Not sure but I guess they left already."
I fix my position. I can feel tiredness after we fly around Cassopeia even if I was holding at Jester the whole time. After I almost fell, he did toured me around Cassopeia. I don't want to tour around anymore because I might fall and he might not catch me but he insisted. And when we were going home already, he's been pissing me off because I almost fall. Tss. I hate him!
"What's with the face?" Calla ask when she noticed the changes in my mood.
"Nothing." I fix my position. "Do we have training tomorrow?"
"Yup. So we better sleep. Who knows what's Miss Scarlet's next mission to us again." Calla said laughing while yawning.
Yeah right. Miss Scarlet might give us a weird mission again. We needed the energy. I have been here for almost a week but I am still adjusting.
"Alright. Good night you dummy."
I said but Calla just hummed. She's really sleepy. I smiled as I close my eyes too. I'll just worry about the mission tomorrow.
---
"Where is Jas?" I ask Calla as I sit beside her.
We are here at the Pavilion hall. Were waiting for Miss Scarlet for our next mission again.
"I think they're in the office of Miss Scarlet. Maybe they are discussing about the mission of Jas and Max yesterday." Calla answered as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay maybe---"
I didn't finish what I am saying when Calla suddenly stood up.
"Why?" I ask. Her expression looks so shock like she remembered something.
"I remembered them mentioning Cheska's name yesterday!" she exclaimed.
My brows automatically turned into a knot. "Cheska?" Okay. This is weird.
"Yes.Yes. According to Jas they saw Cheska at Rivendell yesterday and maybe they are discussing about it now!" Calla said and she pulled me.
"We need to know what's happening." she said as we run towards the office of Miss Scarlet.
Hearing Cheska's name was already bad enough but knowing that she's in Rivendell makes things worse. Does she perhaps have magic? Gahh, impossible!
"WAIITTTT!" Calla yelled as she open the double door of the office of Miss Scarlet.
"Calla? Serena? What are you doing here?" Miss Scarlet ask confused.
"I... Uhh.." Calla stuttered.
I look around and saw Miss Scarlet seating at the center.  A dark grey haired man was beside her who I think was at his early thirties. He was looking at us with a blank expression. This is the first time I saw him.
Uh, I think it's so wrong that we run here. Jas and Max were no where to be found here.
"You have anything to say Calla? Serena?" Miss Scarlet asked again.
Calla and I look at each other.
"Uhm, sorry Miss Scarlet. We thought Jas and Max were here.." Calla explained.
We both stepped back.
I look at the window and only then did I noticed that there is someone who is standing there. She isn't facing us but I'm sure it was a woman. She was wearing a white cloak and her silver hair was hanging effortlessly at her back.
I swallowed the lump in my throat. My heart beats voluntarily like it was saying I knew her. My eyes were glued at her. Why do I have this weird feeling that she was someone that was very close to my heart? This is weird.
I returned back at my senses when Miss Scarlet spoke.
"It's okay." Miss Scarlet said smiling. "You can go back at the Pavilion hall. I'll be there in a minute."
"Out apologies Miss Scarlet." Calla and I said in chorus.
I look at the woman that is in the window before I turn back to leave but I stopped when Calla bowed.
"Your Highness" she said still bowing.
I look at her and at the woman when I realized what was happening.
"Sorry," I muttered as I quickly bowed. "Your Highness.." I said.
I didn't know it was her. Calla mentioned that it was Her Highness that was ruling the entire Cassopeia. At first, I didn't gave much interest with it because she rarely showed up though she was working behind curtains. And now, I didn't expect to see her. Even if it's only her back but still.
"You both can stand up," Miss Scarlet said as she giggled.
Calla and I stood up. I look at Her Highness again and her back is still facing us.
"We'll leave now Miss Scarlet," Calla said.
Miss Scarlet smiled at us and before we get out of the door, I glanced at Her Highness one last time. I wish I could see her face next time. I bet she's gorgeous.
Her Highness... Why do I have a feeling she's someone close to me? Or is it just me and my imagination playing tricks in me?
