69 The Cold One 2

My twin brother Death is the God of Death, where he took and help the people to reach the aboveworld and to send me the souls. I, Soul, is the one who are counting and to give judgement on the Soul and let them choose for their future.

"I hope she is."

"How do you use that thing?"

"Well, its kind-a complicated if you don't grow up here. Oh, hey, there are my friends there." He waved on the group of students talking and some of them are bickering. "Come," he grabbed my hand toward them, four girls and two boys. "You should learn how to socialize. Hey, guys meet Guinevere. She's new here."

"Hi!" a brunette girl stepped forward, she's smaller and petite than the three girls. Her eyes are wide and has beautiful chocolate eyes. "I'm Carmina." She extend her hand and I do their greeting, shaking hands. "And that's Rosy," she pointed the blond one and smiled at me, she was taller and has white skin and her eyes are dark blue. Rosy, smiled at me and greet me with cheeks to cheeks.

"You are French girl!" she said.

"Oui." I answer with a little smile.

"Okay, so, here is Danica," she pointed the red headed girl and smiled charmingly. "And Anya. And our boys here are, Clarence and Davin." She cock her head on the two boys and again, the Clarence boy is staring at me.

"Yes, I already met them earlier." I told. Rosy clapped her hand. I look at Davin who smiled sweetly.

"So, Guinevere since, I have a late class and tutorial class… I will recommend someone that will help you with this." Gibson lifted the bag and I nod. I am surprised when he hugged me and murmur on my ear. "The other one can't quit staring at you." Then he face me with smile and smiled at everyone. "Clarence," he toss the bag to Clarence and he caught it. "Show our new friend on how to do that thing." I raise my eyebrow on how he uses my accent to say the last word.

"Okay."

"Great then, girls, you have to stop bickering at each other and start planning for the event. I don't want to waste my precious time to be called on this crappy meeting of yours, Rosy."

"It's not crappy! If there's someone here crappy it is you!" Death—Gibson mimic her and she smack his arm. "Stop doing that, it is annoying."

"Let's go." Clarence called and cock his head. I walk with him and left the others. It makes me raise my eyebrow when he put his arms around me and pull me closer to him. "So, Mademoiselle Guinevere de Jardin Roseaux. Did you meet Patrick inside that world of yours?"

"Oui! And if you please." I push his arm and cross my arms as we walk. "How do you know that I am a Mademoiselle de Jardin Roseaux?" he shrugged his shoulder and put his arms back. I have to push it again but he tightens it.

"Wanna learn how to use gadgets?"

"Not really, I don't wish to learn on using it. It has no use for me."

"Oh, trust me. It has a big use. You can communicate someone without sending birds or your sender. And you can talk to that someone though that someone is away from you."

We went on the study hall and place it on the table. I look around the students where most of the girls are staring at me. He gesture me to sit and I did sit in front of him. He roll his eyes and sat beside me as he open the computer.

"At least you know how to open this?"

"Oui."

"Okay, so to start with this…" he explained few things on doing it and there are these symbols on the computer that is called icons or application. He explained to me on how to use each of them and for the very simply one is on how to use the Microsoft Office Suite. "Did you get me?" he ask.

"Yes, I am fast learner." He prop his elbow on the table and lean his cheek over his knuckles and cock his head.

"Now, try using it. Go to Word Processing." I did and I tried to use it tapping on the keyboard that has letters and numbers and characters. He teaches me few controls on the keyboard and while I am doing it, he keep staring at me. Though my focus is on the computer I can still feel that he is staring at me.

"Stop staring." I told him but he didn't. "Why do you keep staring at me Clarence?"

"Because you remind me of someone who is so cold yet beautiful and intelligent. It was the child of my days in Insideworld."

"And who probably would that be?"

"You." I drop my hand over the table and looked at him who is smiling charmingly. I don't remember him being in Insideworld. Then when my memory flashes, now I understand who he is. The bastard son of General Magnus.

"You are the son of General Magnus, if I am right."

"Bastard son." He corrected.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"He throw me away here because I was a useless child who don't even know how to kill a bear. Your castle has the greatest warriors in the whole Kingdom of Psychē and he don't need someone like me who can't kill a bear. And someone adopted me and here I am, growing stronger."

"Is that it?" he nod and instead of seeing bitter expression on his face he smiled charmingly. I look at his other hand who took my left hand as he pressed his lips on it never leaving my eyes.

"Ehem!" I look at Carmina, Anya, Danica and Rosy who have the same expression and they are all darting their eyes on my hand that Clarence is holding. "Sorry to interrupt but, it is almost dinner. Plus we have a movie marathon." I pull my hand from Clarence. And shut down the laptop and wait for a little more.

"Go on, save seats for us." Clarence shooed them.

"Guinevere is new here, don't play on her." Carmina glare at Clarence like a lightning.

"Go to hell!" Clarence scowl.

"Don't believe in his tricky words and he is used on saying sweet things to girl and after f-cking them, he will ignore them the whole time." Danica told me. I stood and close the laptop as I put it back on the bag.

"Do not worry, Danica. I don't like to be f-cked."

"Ohhh…" the girls said with laughs. "We will wait for you in the dining hall." Anya waves at me and I nod.

"Did you really just say f-cked?" Clarence asked me.

"I did."

"You curse?"

"I did." I push the chair and was about to leave but he hold my hand.

"I thought that girls like you don't curse."

"Oh, I don't. Since I am here in this academy, I should adopt few things. Should I?" he shook his head and stood taking the bag from me. He hold my hand and drag me in ungentlemanly like. I wanted to pull it back but it was intertwined into his fingers and I am unable to pull it away because he is squeezing it and shooting a glare on me whenever I tried to pull it or even tried to remove his hand.

"If you keep doing that, I will totally kiss you."

"Your threat won't work on me. Are you really this pervert?"

"No."

Someone hold my other hand I glanced at Davin who smiled at me, like he is saving me. What's wrong with this boys? Are they really Patrick's apprentice?

"Don't let her go until we interrogate her." Clarence murmur.

"Sorry, but you need an interrogation." I just ignored it and let them drag me on the cafeteria.

I can hear agonizing voice near… the voice was suffering and I know that it was a soul's voice who is calling for me and asking for help. I stop from walking that makes both of them stop. I turn to the corner that we had passed.

"What's wrong?" I ignore Clarence and pull my hands from them as I walk to the near voice.

I walk straight and turn right where the voice is coming and on the middle of the corridor is a dying corpse of a student. A boy in a welled-built body. His soul is strong as he is but his body is dying.

Death, you have to come. I call my twin Brother Death and in a second, he is already running. I stood in front of the boy who is dying he extend his hand to me and I bent down and took his hand.

"Brave one, you'll be in Paradise soon." I mutter.

Death stand beside the body and closed his eyes. I can see that Death's real form or Soul come out from his shell, yet the shell is standing and he help his soul back to the paradise, in the above world. I saw the light and the stairs to the above world and saw my father on the door waiting. Father. I bow my head to him and as Death did and talk to the soul of the boy.

Death come back to his body and I gently put the hand on the floor.

"Il est morte." I declare his death.

The blood and green with hint of purplish vomit of the boy is around him. His soul wasn't complete and few of it are not with him. The other pieces of his soul is in Abyss's torment house. I can feel the heat of it, tickles my skin and shivers me hot and cold.

"You don't seemed creeped out." I look at Clarence who is looking at me intently. He pulls a handkerchief from his pocket and took my left hand, which I use to hold the dying boy's hand and he wipe it. "I am starting to know you more."
