Their murmurs became louder and more fingers started pointing at her, her panic increased, she felt her heart ramming against her chest wall, she was scared of getting caught, implicating her sect and implicating him, she prayed in her mind that he would find her before things get out of hand.
"She must be the flame sect witch!" someone among them shouted.
"The flame sect witch...does that mean we are all going to die,"
"Isn't she supposed to be in the wind sect, how did she appear here, it can't be,"
The waiter started coming closer to her while she moved back, she noticed her gloves still in his hands, she fixated her eyes on his hands, trying to devise a way to get her gloves back without causing any damage but before she could find a way, he had already gripped her elbow.
"I don't care if you are the flame sect witch or not, you better pay up," he threatened even though he knows very well that he is just bluffing.
"Give me back my glove, I don't want to hurt you...."
"Pay me my money if you want it back,"
She could feel her body become hotter, a sign of danger, the feeling whenever her eyes become a deeper red colour and her hair also turns into a deeper red colour...she is feeling it at the moment.
She was scared, terrified because she doesn't know how to control it, most of all, she feared the man might lose his life if he doesn't let her go.
{Don't....}
A voice in her mind...
{Hold it in...}
"I...I can't..." a sudden gust of wind flew across her face just as she was about to lose control, her veil parted and her face became clearly visible to them.
One of her eyeballs had a red colour while the other is coloured azure blue, she completely lost it!
Everyone in the restaurant started screaming and cursing at her, seeing her strange appearance, the waiter quickly dropped the gloves and moved away from her while some people who were nearby gathered at the scene to know what is happening.
The whole place suddenly became cold and hot at the same time, she clenched her fist tightly to control herself, to control her power but she couldn't when she doesn't even know what is wrong with her.
Her chest moved up and down and the veins on her neck could be clearly seen, in an instant, she spread her hands and let out a loud scream, flame-filled the whole place, accompanied by ice from both of her hand.
They quickly ran for cover, the whole place blew up, fortunately, they had already evacuated the place before she lost it, everyone gathered to watch the sight but they couldn't get a clear view because of the large extent of her outburst.
{Calm down,} the voice in her mind repeated.
{I...I can't...}
She muttered as the flames and ice consumed the place.
{You can, breath slowly and empty your mind, don't be scared,}
She decided to trust the voice and do as it said, she steadily slowed down her breath and closed her eyes to think about the one things that make her happy, the moment when she danced and ate with her family and sect came into her mind.
The flame and ice coming from her hands slowly ceased but the fumes filled the whole place so they couldn't see her, she opened her eyes again to see herself surrounded by smoke....she widened her eyes at the extent of the damage she has caused, she used the chance to pick up her glove and escaped the place.
By the time, the smoke cleared up, she was nowhere to be seen and soldiers had already arrived at the scene to find out what had destroyed many restaurants, shops and stalls nearby and also caused many people to be injured, if not dead.
Not knowing where she is running to, she just kept moving, letting her legs and instinct take her to wherever they see fit until she got to a secluded narrow pathway, she was too tired to continue running, she slumped to the ground with her back against the wall as she tried to catch her breath.
She remembered the voice in her mind.
"Who are you?" she questioned, hoping she will get a reply.
"I am...I am someone who wants you to be safe," the voice answered back, this time, she felt the voice was not coming from her mind but from something around her.
"I possess only flame power...the strongest flame power but I have never been able to conjure ice, is this your doing?" she couldn't think at that moment but she knew that her change was not normal and the ice in her hand was just impossible.
"You are smart after all,"
"Where are you....are you a human or ghost?" she looked around her to see if someone is following her or it is really from her mind.
"I am inside your necklace,"
She raised the jade pendant to her eyes and examined it closely, previously, she only discovered the necklace can take her to another dimension whenever she is asleep and strangely, she finds herself outside the cave every time that happens.
She still remembered the first time it happened, she had to sneak back to the cave with much effort and fervent prayer despite the fear in her heart, thankfully, no one was around the cave, from then, she slowly found herself able to control when she enters the dimension but she has never for once seen anyone or any other creature in the dimension.
"The necklace is connected to your mind, you just don't know how to utilise it, concentrate your mind on the jade pendant, free your mind of all other thoughts and you will naturally enter by your will," the voice instructed.
She decided to give it a try.
She sat in a lotus position then she waved her hands around and brought it down, calming her spiritual force as she exhaled deeply.
She opened her eyes only to find herself in the dimension but this time, it looked more extraordinary, it was now filled with more cherry blossoms and other flowers and the stream where she always swam looked bigger and steamier.
Flowers floored the ground and the sky clearer...the beauty was just too extraordinary for her to behold, she then noticed someone at the edge of the stream, she continued forwards to see who it was.
Just as she got to the other side of the stream, she got a clear view of him but her eyes went round at the beauty of the man in front of her and his strange appearance.
His elbow was placed at the edge of the stream and his head resting on his fist with his eyes closed, his hair was coloured white but he looked really young and beautiful (in her terms), on his chest and forehead are two runes but the one on his chest looked larger.
She squatted to get a close view of it, although she couldn't see the one on his chest clearly because of his white robe she could see the patterns faintly.
"You are strange...just like me..." she remarked with her eyes fixed on his chest, he opened his eyes only to reveal his azure coloured eyeballs, her lips slightly parted with a silent gasp leaving her mouth.
"Your eyes are so beautiful...." she remarked with a fascinated smile on her lips, her handsome beauty swam to the other side of the stream where she was squatted then he stopped when he got to her.
"Your eyes are also beautiful..."
"Lies...if my eyes are also beautiful then no one will be scared of me,"
"They are only scared of you because you are stronger than them,"
"Are people scared of you?" she questioned naively.
"No...because they don't know I am stronger than them, you are the only one apart from my trusted ones who have seen my true form," the man answered with a faint smile on his lips but she turned very excited upon hearing him say that.
"Does that mean this is a secret between us...and your friends?"
The man nodded affirmatively in response.
"How come you are inside my necklace and how did you make me conjure ice back there, are you...?"
"Yes, I am the only one in this world who possesses ice power and you are the only one I have shared it with, I have been with you since seven years ago and I also gave you that necklace,"
"Does that mean you are the one who always calms me down whenever I have an outburst?" the expression on her face turned into one filled with gratitude and reverence.
"Yes...you can call me your guardian or best friend,"
She stared at him for a while without saying anything but tearing up, he wondered why she was suddenly tearing up but he didn't have enough time to think when she wrapped her hands around his neck.
His eyes went round and his mouth agape.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Their murmurs became louder and more fingers started pointing at her, her panic increased, she felt her heart ramming against her chest wall, she was scared of getting caught, implicating her sect and implicating him, she prayed in her mind that he would find her before things get out of hand.
