The Search for Freedom

Kaila

Everything that was happening was all my mistakes. I knew I could not blame Alicia if she brought me there. It wasn't her mistake, for it was me who could not decide where to start, and that was why Alicia brought me there to kill those boys. It wasn't Alicia, not the curse, not my fate, but me. It was me who must be blamed. I became a serial killer who didn't show any sympathy for those boys.

Maybe it was because I hated myself too much. I didn't notice I had already killed the boy in front of me. I didn't notice that I stroked his head many times, causing a very big crack on it. His brain had exploded like a volcano, which could not endure the lava erupting.

Though it was difficult to endure squeamish things like blood, I would simply regard everything as a trial, one that would strengthen me for future ordeals. It seemed that my whole life was a trial itself, and there was nothing enjoyable. It was only full of sadness, and there were a few good moments.

Maybe it was because of the outrage I had towards myself. When I came back to consciousness, one of the boys in front of me had totally laid down on the ground. There was nothing left of the six boys who were alive. They were all lying on the ground, except Alicia, who was sitting there on the root of the tree while looking at me.

Later, she stood up and walked towards me. I noticed her face had changed a lot. She had become more beautiful and younger. But I knew there was nothing impossible when it came to Alicia. It was also possible that she could change herself into a young boy, and it was also possible that she could come back to her young and beautiful self. Alicia raised her hand in the air, and the boys who were lying on the ground by the roadside suddenly disappeared. I didn't know where they were sent.

Alicia halted beside me. "You have successfully killed all of those six boys, so what's your next plan? I just want to remind you that you must quickly finish your mission if you want to quickly get rid of the curse."

"You don't need to remind me that, and I don't need to be hasty just to get rid of the curse that came from you, especially since we are talking about people's lives. I need to consider other things first before taking an action. I'm not the same as you, who do things for your own interest without thinking you'd hurt others."

"Oh Kaila! Please let us forget our past mistakes. Look, if I'm doing these things for my own interest, you know I'm not here now. I didn't need to coerce myself to go with you. But I'm here because I want to help you, and my own interest wasn't a part of it," Alicia defended.

"I knew it; I just wanted to tell you that you didn't need to help me in making my own decision, because it appears that you are taking away my right to decide for myself."

"So are you telling me that you don't need my help anymore? It's good to know that you will help yourself in completing your mission."

"No-I still need your help. I need some guidance to become stronger and more powerful before I will let you go. Why won't you teach me how to fight and how to use dark magic instead?" "That's a good idea. I won't need to help you anymore if you know how to help and protect yourself-let me help teach you how to fight without using anything. You'll only need your hands." "Teach me now how to use my hands in fighting," I ordered.

I knew it wasn't easy to fight using someone's hands, but what could not kill me would make me stronger, so it would be better to try than to fail without trying at all.

"If you're thinking it's difficult to fight using your hands, you mistook it, because you didn't need to apply any force to fight against your enemy." Alicia walked towards me and took my hand. She raised it, pointing to the tall tree with green foliage.

"Keep your focus on what you want to do, as what I told you, everything around you will conspire with you, and you can gain anything you want. "Believe me," she whispered right through my ears.

Suddenly, the foliage that we were pointing our fingers at started falling down on the ground. They were falling and being blown away by the whispering breeze. Until the tree became bald as it ran out of leaves, except its raw branches. All its leaves had fallen and lay thick on the ground. Though it was incredible, there was nothing else I could do but to believe what my eyes saw.

Alicia was really powerful. She could make impossible things possible, but though she was powerful, there were still many things she could not do. just like removing the curse she put on me and helping herself to go back to the place where she came from. However, I also knew that everyone had their own limitations.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Now it's your turn." Alicia let go of my hand and seriously ordered me to, "Make that tree grow its leaves again."

"What?" I exclaimed in surprise and complaint. "How can I make that tree grow back its leaves?"

I knew it would take the tree a long time before it could regrow its leaves. I didn't know how Alicia made it bald, and I also didn't know how to bring it back to its normal condition. Alicia was so powerful that it only took her a second to change the appearance of the tree. I really needed to spend a long time before I could do what she did.

"Don't worry too much, Kaila. You only need to focus. It's just a trial and error. But don't give up. You can do it!" Alicia walked towards the flat stone and sat down there, still watching and observing me.
