Chapter 11: Celestrian Vision

"Achoooo!" Charismi sneezed into Sari's face, waking her up.

"W-what?" Sari said, pushing Charismi off her chest and rubbing her eyes groggily.

"TIME TO WAKE UP!!!!" Ayumu shouted from the kitchen.

"Ugh. Few more minuets." Sari said pulling the covers back on.

Footsteps pounded up the stairs. they stopped at Sari's doorway. "I said: IT. IS. TIME. TO. WAKE UP!!!!!!" screeched Ayumu.

"Okay, jeez. You don't need to act so stingy. And you don't need to shout either. I was just getting up already."

"Uh-huh" Ayumu responded, smirking triumphantly, "Sure you were."

Sari looked up into Ayumu bright purple eyes, then suddenly looked away. "Is it happening again?" she asked, not daring to look into the eyes while Ayumu was seeing.

"It's over now." Ayumu whispered, still staring straight ahead.

"What did you see?"

Ayumu looked away, hiding her face. "I'll tell you later. Let's just go eat."

Ayumu

That vision in my head, it keeps repeating itself. The screams, the agony. I can't bring myself to tell anyone. Not Hemu, not Muri, not even Sari. Not even myself. "It's not real! It can't be!" I say to myself over and over again in my head. I try to keep my composure as I force my fork stiffly into the pancake on my plate. A tear falls onto my lap, and I wipe my eyes quickly, hastily; anything to hide the pain.

A concerned voice drifts to my ear, "Ayumu, are you all right?"

It breaks into my concentration; and I jump a little, startled by the sudden sound. I look up to see Sari staring at me with hard, intense eyes.

"I-I'm fine." I stutter back, stuffing a piece of pancake into the mouth.

After breakfast, I walk outside and sit underneath a cherry blossom tree. A single petal spirals down and land on my lap. Just as I pick up the petal to examine it closer; I hear bells jingling faintly in the distance, and I know another vision is about to come.

I was flying. Just floating. I was suddenly aware of an old man sitting in front of me, and my wings lower as I drop a few inches to the ground. Sari is standing next to me, with a look of confusion in her face. She has wings. And a halo. I look up to see that I have a halo too. I look back at the old man, and the only word I caught was: "Celestrian" before my vision ended.
