"You may" The woman permitted her from asking, then on the doctor asked unexpectedly question, the first question mark was "What happened seven years ago?". The woman looked at her with a straight face not just like earlier and answered "I met seven in the bird cage".
"Who is seven?" The doctor asked while the woman just stared at her "Seven? Don't you know him or her?" She asked again then a different question was asked to the woman but she didn't reply in any of it and somehow a few minutes later the room was filled of silence. The doctor looked down but was startled when the woman open her mouth and said "His a bird,
A hawk perhaps----- A strange but dangerous one". "What's your relationship with this man then?" The doctor looked at the her. "His an airplane and I'm a car......we're totally different but there's one thing we have in common, we are both transportation" The woman uttered.
SEVEN YEARS AGO........
November 12 2022.
A grumpy Charline, watching and eating popcorn on the coach comfortably was caught by her Former Nanny Heloise when she opened the door holding the groceries she bought. "Charline Vienna De Espiritu can't you help me?!" She shouted which caused Charline to came towards her and hold the groceries instead. "I have a good news for you!" Heloise cheerfully said while holding an envelope. "What's is it?" Charline replied as she put down the groceries on the table then Heloise just gave it to her and sigh look what's in it. Charline opened it excitedly and saw what she is expecting that's why she suddenly jump with joy infront of Heloise.
"Oh! thank you lord! I'am bless, I'm so lucky, this is the most happiest day of my life!!!" Charline was very happy but when she looked at Heloise who is smiling at her, she stopped jumping. "Nanny I'll be back and I can call you everytime when I'm there" She uttered as Heloise sat down on the chair and "You're a mind reader as always but I just wanted tell you before you leave that---." "I have one week so you can tell me whatever you want later" Charline cutted Heloise words. "You can't even read properly" Heloise muttered which Charline heard and quickly reread the letter. "I'm going tomorrow that's so sudden" She couldn't believed it, how fast this is happening, even if she wanted to see her sister badly, she want to spend her time more with her Nanny but she can't do that anymore because once she leave, she'll be staying in the island for two years then going back home just for two weeks.
"Nanny can you stay overnight here" Charline requested. "Can't do that my child" Heloise rejected her request because she didn't want Charline to be sad again and longing for her sister.
It kills her too, the fact that Charlie, Charline's older brother doesn't care about her brother is hurting but she knew there's one little love remaining in Charlie's heart that belongs to Charline. They will be okay once I let them go, she had in mind. "Okay then, will you help me packed my belongings?" Charline asked. "Nothing is free nowadays. Pay for help" Heloise jokingly said but that is not really a good joke to tell "Nanny that's a bit harsh" Charline uttered. "That's how society works so follow the orders, be good but not always and don't trust anyone there" Heloise has completedly change the topic and Charline had that in mind.
November 13 2022.
Charline is calm as she wait in line with the people who's going to enter the ship. The ship was wide and big, It is the only transportation allowed to travel within the borderline of Crystalline island. There are soldiers securely conducting and guarding the situation managed by their leader while Charline and the others follow the rules. "You need to take this pill Miss" The lady at the counter said. "What kind of pill is that? I don't take medicine without having prescription you know" Charline uttered, well she's just doing what her Nanny said "Don't trust anyone". "This is requirement" The lady replied as she hand down the pill into Charline's hand. "So pill are requirements now adays" Charline muttered then took the pill without hesitation and left the counter.
The machine detect any harmful objects passed by it and Charline was unlucky because it rang and turned red when she passed it. The soldiers immediately came towards her to stopped her but Charline raised her hand from her pocket slowly while the soldiers eyes looked carefully and the gun infront then they saw what she was holding, it was smart
phone, they where dissapointment as they put there gun down. "Give me that" One of the soldiers snatched Charline's smart phone and she was startled because of it. "Seriously?! Why is it not allowed?!" She frowned then hurriedly enter the front door up to her room.
The ship inside's are luxurious and flamboyant in design, there were so many expensive and innovative things on board and not only that but the view on the windows in stunning. It was like a cruise ship but just a few amount of people are in there and most of them are soldiers.
She opened the door and unexpectedly saw her co-teacher and friend Misha Sumihara, she was in shocked but immediately came towards Misha to asked "What are you doing here?!".
"Nothing just trying to get out from my exhausting life" Misha answered with a grimace. "Are you in drugs? You have that awkward smile" She replied thinking that Misha is totally lying. "Oh! Come on I'm always in high energy and I don't do that anymore" Misha blurted out and she's kind of nervous too.
"Tell me the truth. We been friends for years" She frowned looking at Misha.
"Okay...it was because of your brother" Misha muttered under her breathe. "What? I can't hear you" She reassured. "I said it was because of your brother so I don't want your opinion!" Misha shouted then covered her ears with an headphone and dance. "Wow! You're madly inlove with him and I can't actually believed you passed the test" She said out of nowhere which made Misha to immediately talked "Hey! I'm smart too you know and even if I have one-sided love with your brother, I'm sure he will love me back too once I get into the island".
She heard me meaning she dance ridiculous with no sound, Misha is seriously cute at times like this matching her dress up which totally look like in common cartoon movies but a little bit different because of her short hair, Charline had in mind. "Whacha lookin At? Are you suprise that I'm this cute" Misha proudly said. "You're really are a good friend. When I'm with you I totally feel like I'm mature enough, unlike everyone who told me that I'm immature" Charline uttered. "So you're saying way more immature than you but it's okay, that's why we are both stuck together" Misha replied and laid down onto her bed.
After of seven days sailing the ship reached the borderline and all went outside as they fall in line. Charline was focus looking at the scenery, the news was right it was really has a high metallic walls around in the circle form and above is a circle glass covering fifteenth and above flooring buildings inside and the sky beyond but let's see what's inside, She had in mind. "The rumors aren't lying, it really looks like a crystal ball but much more bigger" Misha uttered. While the soldeirs are busy contacting the people inside, the Crystalline's island gate suddenly opened and out of nowhere a man show up.
"Get ready!" The commander immediately ordered his soldiers as they came infront covering the people behind, beside and at the back of them. They quickly formed a square shield using there high-tech watch called Defense shield which is a barrier made of energy particles so that they can all be safe. If one shield collided with another or many more, there's a possibility that it will be more stable and will not be easily broken. The man who just appeared has thousands of drones with guns flying above him and seems like his controlling them using the telekinesis glove. It is a newly built glove built by the scientist of Crystalline island.
"Commander! Do you hear me?!" The man shouted. "Number six you're going to have a punishment later!" The commander replied. "I see then be it!" The man said who is probably a cypher. The drones hurriedly came towards then and pulled out a gun shotting them multiple times. While the womans started to scream excluding Charline who's fascinated on what she is seeing. Wow! I guess these people are more advance than the outside world, It's crazy how they even managed to built this island despite having this super cold temperature, she had in mind.
"Misha do feel it? It's warm inside here" She called out. "Yeah...
But why you're so relaxed in this situation?" Misha asked while looking at Charline. "Well I just think that the shield really kept us protected. From the bullets and the cold" She answered. "Commander we give that shield a try!" The man shouted again when the shotting was stopped and he began to approached on their direction holding a wide and big flaming sword as he cutted the shield into half. The people were shocked excluding the soldiers who are mad while the particles broke away from each other.
"I thought it would be stronger than last months but it's still the same" The man uttered. "And it's intentional" The commander replied which made the man's smirk to dropped. "I already know you're gonna do this again. Go back to your cell now" The commander ordered the man as he bumped intentionally his shoulders next to the man. "Move" One of the soldiers command the people so then they walked to enter the crystalline island and they where amazed of just how beautiful the crystalline island is, as they ride a but with no roof they can clearly see the breathtaking scenery.
Charline didn't expect this, she always thought that the island inside would be innovative or rather modern but the truth is it was mix, they concluded the modern buildings in nature that somehow you couldn't see in the cities anymore. There are some old historical design places too, it was a copy because they wanted to remember the past that where part of the history in there own kind. "This place is like.... fifteen or more countries sum up together to build a new nation that is has a new and old history" Misha blabbered while looking around.
"And this is not like a facility too but a whole new world!" Charline shouted out of nowhere.
"Don't be like that. They just want the best for the cyphers" Misha replied. "I know but this is exaggeration and it's been years since the rehabilitation happen and still know one has been released in this facility isn't that weird?" Charline asked which caught the attention of a recruited psychologist who passed the test too and said "You ain't wrong 'cause they have hella secrets in general but I have an advanced for you, it's too do your job or see what you came here for". "What's your name?" Charline asked out of curiosity. "Noe Alondra Gray How bout you two?" She asked back. "Charline Vienna De espiritu and she's Misha Sumiraha" Charline pointed at Misha while Misha waved at Alondra. "I'm from africa how bout you guys?" Alondra has those serious expression as she looked at the two which Charline noticed.
"United states of america" Charline simply uttered while Misha said "Yeah we are from there but where just citizen because I'm originally from japan and Charline is a Filipino-Spanish woman". "Misha that's your name right? Look up and tell me what you notice" Alondra suddenly ordered Misha around so Misha just did it and looked up. "The sky is beautiful, it's clear as the glass" She answered. "That isn't a glass it's a force field" Charline blurted out. "Really how do you know?" Misha asked.
"It's snowing but there wasn't a single snowdrop on the glass and outside the borderline too, there are forcefield outside too" Charline explained.
"I didn't know that I just thought it's cold because its winter but why does the defense shield kept us warm and the this force field doesn't. Aren't they the same?" Misha muttered. "Yeah but the forcefield in here are controlled by people so they have some choice if they wanted to change the temperature" Alondra answered in behalf of Charline. "I didn't know that can happen it's like in movies or television" Misha who was clueless in everything uttered. After the long conversation of the girls, they went to their rooms and separated.
"Charline did you noticed that Alondra is quite cold but sociable...I never seen such woman before" Misha said while Charline is unpacking her belongings, "You meant she's cool" She uttered to Misha. "Probably I'm going to sleep right now okay" Misha replied as jumped on her bed joyfully. "I'm going outside" Charline who is now finished unpacking. "Okay" Misha answered then looked at the clock as Charline left.
"It's almost curfew. What is she doing?" Misha had in mind and went back to sleep.
Charline looked at her watch, "I have ten minutes left before the curfew might as well enjoy it" She muttered then looked around. There's so many light in the night of crystalline island shining and sparkling on the left and right side of the road as Charline heels make a stamp. She's wearing a colored caramel coat right now, underneath is a long sleeved turtle neck dress which is white and her heels matching the color of her coat. Her hair is tied in a pony tail too bouncing as she made little jumped enjoying this scene, It was like she's a little who just came outside from a long time.
I never really went abroad, this is my first time, She spoke into her mind then noticed the design of the places. The left side of the island are those historical places inspired by different countries which like a old town. The right side is a modernize city where the school, facilities to train or rather learn and buildings are there and we are on the right side but decied to go this way because this place is where the cyphers live.
Charline curiosity is striking again despite going into the crystalline island because of his brother. She continued to walked without looking at her watch but she suddenly stopped when he heard a man breathing heavily as she turned her head slowly right into the dark alley. She put a one stepped to come towards the man then was startled because of a splashed. She looked down and saw a muddy water on the ground, she never knew it rain earlier when she was in their room because of the sound proof and there's no window too.
"How can it rain when it's snowing" She muttered under her breathe as she continues to walked towards the man on the alley.
