Felix Charles: The Lonely Star
|3. GET IN
*****
"Felix!"
The call left him shocked and
undoing his intention to open the closet door, he hides himself in
under the old table next to the closet, the table was covered in piles
the old stuff is high enough so it won't be visible to people. Actions
that reflex makes his head hit the side of the table until it sounds loud enough, imagine
how painful.
His hand that was not holding the paper moved
to stroke his bumped head. He peered towards the door of the warehouse
still closed, really, he was in a panic when he heard his name being called by
aunt earlier. When I was about to stand up because no one knew it
come in here, he intends to stand up. Before—
'Lick'
He returned to his hiding place with
hurry up because the sound of the warehouse door being opened.
"Felix, is that you?" ask
someone who was in the doorway, it was the voice of his aunt. Don't tell me because
the sound of his head hitting earlier was heard until the living room, ah,tial. Hardest
that, huh? He checked his head once again whether it was bleeding or not,
apparently not. But it hurts a little. He peeked out from the side of the table,
his aunt looked in search of the source of the voice.
"Nobody, maybe just
rat," said the aunt, then closed the door and left the barn.
Felix breathed a sigh of relief, he came out from under the table.
Fortunately, the aunt did not realize that the cloth that enveloped the closet was already
get rid of it, she could die if grandma and auntie find out she's in the barn
these. But there's a strange thing, if this warehouse is very secret and nothing
may enter, then why when he came in here the door is not locked?
Her net moved to look at the paper she was on
get it from grandfather's gift box, is that a magic favor? Because he was
seeing the padlock hanging there but in an open state. Felix
shaking his head many times quickly, conscious of his thoughts
who began to fret.
Better get out of here before grandma
saw it. Maybe it's better he doesn't open that closet right now.
*******
The figure of a boy with perched glasses
on his nose it seemed to be struggling with a few piles of books
being at his study table with illumination only from the study lamp.
He was flipping through the sheets of books
the thick that contains the school material. Again he ruffled
her hair is frustrated on its own, how not? He tried to focus
understanding the material he got from the school earlier so that his mind
distracted, but not successful.
The boy leaned his body on the chair
studying it while sighing deeply, he kept thinking about the letter,
the stars, and the weird closet.
Three things related to his mother
constantly haunting his mind, he picked up the box just now, picked up a
minimalist imitation star shape which according to him is very beautiful, every 1 cm from
the corner of the star has a blue diamond that adorns it.
He put the thing on the table, then switched
unroll a small letter that he thinks can answer that question
he threw it out this afternoon.
Should he try asking? Seems not to
bad to try it again.
He cleared his throat for a moment, looking at the letter
seriously,
"Hey obsolete letter, do you know something
about the closet?" tanyanya slow.
Niente.
Nothing appears there, not like noon
earlier. Even after a few minutes there was no writing
sana. Huh, maybe it was just his feelings.
He closed his eyes tired. Look, even
he was already like a madman from talking with blank paper. Aw,
never mind.
His eyes were open, looking at the alarm clock that was in the
the nightstand that shows at ten o'clock in the night. Time passes so fast, though,
even now there was already no noise Scarlett and aunt were in anymore
bottom.
Wait, he forgot something.
"Stupid, why don't I come back to
just there now? Instead ask with paper like a madman!"
he said while patting his head.
He included letters as well as the shape of a mock star
earlier into the box and carrying it, he opened the door of his room slowly, peering
outside the right and left side alternates, there may be people.
When it was felt that there was nothing, Felix came out of the room
heading downstairs without causing any noise, do not forget to
a small flashlight in his right hand.
The lighting there has been extinguished
tah—maybe. When he reached the end of the stairs he lit his flashlight until he
you can see the road even if it is just dimly lit.
Boys with checkered shirts
and the jeans continued their steps until they reached the warehouse
the closet is.
He gulped his saliva when he was right in
check what's in that closet.
With a single breath, he assured
to open the closet. And, open.
Yet.... Blank.
He went in and checked the inside of the closet
but there is also nothing strange.
His fist knocked on the middle wood
that closet. "There's nothing here..."
"So this means I was lied to
a letter?" his murmurs could not believe the eyes that were tracing around the passage
that narrow closet.
Until the blue net is focused on one point, at
between the middle of the wood slightly up it turns out there is a hole
small-time.
His instincts say if there might be something in the
behind the closet, but it looks ridiculous, whichever it may be, just weird. Him
turn around, want to get out of there. But he stopped, because suddenly
one thing came to his mind, it was better to check first, right?
Felix twisted his body again, tiptoed to be able to
see the hole clearly. His eyes were round when he saw something that was not
he had been expecting it there before.
Quickly, he came out of the closet and pushed
the closet is from the side to make it slightly shifted.
And... Is correct.
There is a door that has the same carving
on each side like the carvings on the cabinets and gift boxes
granddad.
The boy walked over and touched the door
that, one thing that caught his attention, the shape of the artificial star just now turned out
some of it is at that door.
Felix opened the box and took shape
the artificial star inside. I'm back again, and indeed
same.
"Is this star the key?"
said slowly.
Felix put the star on the part
empty in the middle of the door. Maybe this is what the letter meant
earlier, the two separate stars were a key, if put together then
this door will open.
Before long, a white light appeared to come out
from behind that door made his eyes glare. But slowly the light disappeared,
he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the door
open and a place that he thought was so strange but—indah
once, really.
The trees stood firm around
the place as well as the beautiful flowers that give off a glowing yellow powder
as issued by the letter. He moved his feet closer
towards where it keeps the door closed.
Colorful butterflies fly here and there
along with the thousands of fireflies that the green color carrier surrounds
the bunch of flowers. The wings look brighter and more beautiful
because of the reflection of the glowing powder released by the flowers. Venue
it's a forest but the inside is like a flower garden.
Felix approached one of the flowers
infested by black butterflies mixed with purple. The butterfly flew
and coming closer to him, he raised his hand in front of the chest making animals
with those pretty wings perched on her index finger.
His smile spread to his neat teeth
be seen.
"Who are you?" ask someone from
behind him.
He reflexively turned his head towards the source of the voice, there
three naked people with black wings on their backs looked glaring
his direction. The three men were carrying sticks in their right hands.
"Who are you?" tanyanya, notya afraid
at their plotting, he instead returned their gazes with a look
sharpest.
"We're guards here, this is the area
the power of the black elf, no one can cross this border" he said
the one who is in the middle.
He knitted his brows confused at the words
them, black fairies? Regional power? Whatdoes thatmean?
"Are you the eyes of the Queen
Freya?" ask the person on the left.
"Queen Freya? Whatchu mean? I just came
from the human world, who is Queen Freya?" tanyanya confusion. But
actually, he was just pretending.
The three creatures looked at each other
moment, then grinned at him. Two of them approached him
and holding both of his arms strong was like he was going to hold someone back.
"What do you want?" askanya
trying to remove the link of their hands from his.
They both tighten their grip, though,
while laughing creepily. But it doesn't scare Felix.
"We will take you before the king
we." us."
