Chapter 7: Awakening Of the Black Joker
"Welcome back you two" priest gabriel greeted us and i beamed in response.
Mother krisha put me down and pats my head before leaving.
"So what did you two do in the town?"
Priest gabriel asks and i immediately flail my hand excitedly.
"We observed and walk around, they are soooo many interesting products and and the people are so kind, we played around too and then i accidently bumped a kid... His hair is so pretty, it's shinning like the silver! His are are so pretty too!"
"Oh did you have fun?"
I cheered making him chuckles and pats me on the head.
"It was soo much fun! I wanna go there again"
"Maybe next time!" I acted defeated making him smile and kisses my forehead.
"It still early to go to bed so you can go to the garden to play"
"Yes Priest gabriel" i rushes towards the path connecting to the garden while giggling.
When i reach the garden i cease my giggling and lazily roam my eyes around.
I don't know what to do and i'm bored but it's better than going to the town. Acting like a kid tires me.
"Suzue"
"Yes?!" When i heard a voice calling me i immediately beam like a kid however i saw no one around causing me to crease my forehead in confusion.
I wonder who called me?,
"Suzue"
Eh? This time i'm pretty sure i'm the only one around, my eyes landed to the place where the voice came from, it's the forest.
The breeze go stronger when i started walking towards the forest.
My legs are small so i couldn't travel faster so i made a dash.
"Suzue"
"Who?" I followed the unknown voice.
The voice isn't the same as the voice i heard when i was in my mother's womb, this one is full of mischief and playfulness, it's creepy and dark.
A normal kid won't follow a voice like that, in the movies people would follow it. But i'm not a kid and i'm certainly not in a movie so i will follow it.
"Suzue" i halt my steps when the voice become clearer and louder.
I roam my eyes around and only sees trees surrounding me, there was no one else and the voice didn't come back anymore.
I wonder who was that, i turn around to go back to the garden when i felt i step on something, i lowered my head and a card greeted me.
I pick it up and stared at the card, it's a joker painted in black, the front and back of the card has the same design what i notice the most is the frames of the card.
It's not black but red instead, it's sparkling and shinning it looks very sharp...
What does a card like this doing here?
Did someone accidently dropped it?
Curiously i rub the drawing of the joker and accidently touches the frames.
"Ah" as i thought it was sharp, i stared at my thumb bleeding and observes how my blood drops on the card and how the card absorb it.
