CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Red Crested Girl

“Ellie..”.

A faint voice rang out, telling Ellena.

“Ellie.. quickly open your eyes, you will miss something beautiful loh.”

Again, Ellena did not know whose voice it was, but it forced Ellena to open her eyes. Though, his body felt stiff, his gaze blackened. Only a foreign voice kept calling out to him and resuscitated him to wake up.

Is Ellena currently asleep?

“This must be a dream, right? I was just hallucinating and thought that Miko sent me somewhere!” inner Ellena was still with her eyes closed. Slowly, he tried to feel the surrounding air that was so peaceful. It was so peaceful that it made her comfortable and did not want to open her eyes.

The wind that touched her skin made Ellena more enveloped in a comfortable feeling. There was the chirping of the humble bird and the singing of the reconciling grass. This is just a beautiful dream that everyone wants. Ellena was enjoying this too much.

However, he wanted to prove that it was just a dream. Ellena was sure, after she opened her eyes, the first time she saw the roof of her room, it was not such an absurd thing.

Ellena's mind denied about the novel and the portal that pulled her somewhere. He tried not to believe, even intend to forget it by assuming that it was a dream. Even the sense of comfort he felt now was part of that dream as well.

Ellena just needs to open her eyes and prove that her conjecture is right. However, Ellena's estimation shattered instantly when she actually opened her eyes for the first time.

It was not the roof of his room that he saw. However, a shady tree protected him from the blinding sunlight. Ellena's eyes were wide. Without warning, he rose up. Her clothes were still the same, the school uniform she had previously worn. However, the atmosphere around was neither the school nor the room!

Ellena stood up. He only realized that he was on a hill that showed a residential area. It looked crowded, but where Ellena stood, only the peace she felt. A cold wind hit her, making the heart of a figure girl Ellena feel comfort.

Although Ellena felt a strangeness about this, but she still thought that even now, this scene she saw was also part of her dream that was too beautiful.

Slowly, Ellena closed her eyes, feeling the melody of the wind touching her skin. He tried to enjoy a dream he had never had before. For now, he just has to accept it. When you wake up, everything will return to normal.

Ellena was lulled by the peace and comfort she had. It was just a dream, but it felt so real and pleasant, Ellena thought.

When Ellena fell asleep with this atmosphere, suddenly the wind brought a sadness that was chanted by someone. Ellena's ears moved for a moment, trying to listen carefully and trying to capture a meaning. He still closed his eyes, but his ears listened.

The time has come.

Dark and light become one.

I'm blind. Walking in no direction.

Savior, come.

Help me find a way.

Savior, come to me.

Save this lost soul.

This wound is killing me.

Give me a chance.

The darkness.

The darkness.

The darkness continues to haunt me.

The time has come.

Come then. Come me.

“It was the classic singing of a blind witch.” Suddenly someone told me a fact. When Ellena opened her eyes, she was surprised not to play when she saw a little child with a little reddish crest in her hair. In fact, there is a tail like a bird's tail. On the back of the little girl also appeared wings that widened.

Ellena's getting gripped. In fact, his eyes did not even blink once. Too surprising for him.

“Hei, Ellie. Do you know, the song Blind Witch is famous for thousands of years ago. And all you hear is the voice of the Queen. Every day he sings it. I'm glad to hear it because it's so sweet, so are the people here. They miss the Queen,” obviously the red-crested girl.

Ellena didn't respond. He was still frozen to see something strange here. Over and over again he swallowed his saliva violently, soaking his throat which began to dry up. Ellena was in prolonged shock.

The little girl with the red crest spread her wings, and flew closer to Ellena. “Hey, Ellie!”

Deg.

Ellena was surprised to return. “S-who did you call with E-Ellie? And you're a-actually what creature?!” Ellena was completely unexpected with all of this. “Dreams. I must be dreaming, ‘kan?!”

“I, Ruby The Fire.” The little girl smiled as she showed the back of her hand in front of her chest which was painted with a picture of fire. He was still in a flying state and constantly approached Ellena who was trembling with fear. In fact, it felt like Ellena wanted to wet the bed. The short-haired girl had no idea what she was seeing here.

Only this first time Ellena saw a human half bird, as in the fantasy films she often watched with Miko. However, if the creature appeared before him directly, wouldn't it be so strange?

“S-stealth!” guess Ellena without thinking. Yes, without thinking it is all clear that if not ‘siluman’ or monsters in fantasy films then what else can name such creatures?

The little girl named Ruby sighed. Even so, he was not offended because he knew that Ellena would not easily admit it. Any human would be surprised by a situation that suddenly changed like a fairyland.

Ruby began to set foot on the ground. Then, he hid his wings and tail, but the three crests of bird feathers were still in his hair. Presumably indeed ‘aksesoris’ in his head it can not be lost like one of the real Ruby identity.

“If this is the case, do you still think of me as a monster?” Ruby looked at Ellena with a hearty look, pleading for Ellena to take it.

Ellena who always lost with eyes like a cat asking for food finally gave up. He ventured to touch the little girl with slightly reddish orange hair.

After a careful look, the girl named Ruby was quite adorable. Her charming smile and her petite body like a three-year-old child made Ellena now pull both cheeks Ruby, feeling anxious.

“Aw, black, Ellie.” Ruby could not say clearly because her cheeks were now where Ellena was venting her anxiety at the little girl.

“Ah, it turns out that you are very anxious, Ruby. Whose son are you?” Now Ellena hugged the tiny Ruby while kissing her cheek several times. Whereas before Ellena said that Ruby was one of the demons or monsters, even Ellena trembled to see the creature that looked new to her.

While Ruby was just flat-faced, resignedly received ‘ golden attack’ Ellena who had been afraid of him.

Ellena was enjoying the hug. For a long time, he wanted a little sister. However, the only parent left since Ellena was little was her father. But my father does not want to marry again. Until now, Ellena became an only child, even now she leaves her father to study in the land of people.

“Ellie, are you done?” ruby asked who was bored because Ellena kept hugging her without giving her a chance to talk.

“Numbered, Ruby. Hey, you're my sister, yeah.” Ellena tried to kiss Ruby's cheek. Her lips were already clutching forward, ready to kiss Ruby's tender cheeks like a bakpao.

However, Ruby suddenly held back Ellena's lips with her small palm. “Who wants to be your sister, Ellie! Look, I want to tell you something!” Ruby looked angry.

Even so, the anger of a little girl like Ruby was not a problem for Ellena. He gets even more excited about Ruby. Both hands stretched back, trying to hug Ruby, but the little girl with the crest continued to resist.

Ruby escapes, while Ellena continues to chase after him. He seemed to have been blinded by the cuteness of Ruby who was like her sister.

“Ruby, come here, Darling.” Ellena increasingly relentlessly pursued Ruby who now spread her wings back. Then the little girl flew up, away from Ellena. Ellena's smile is getting more terrifying for Ruby because Ellena's smile is full of obsession like a psychopath who has found his prey.

In fact, Ellena forgot that she was not where she should be. Ellena just thought that all this was just a dream and it was bound to end soon. But not with Ruby, he was eager to bring Ellena to reality.

Ruby was overwhelmed by Ellena's behavior. In the end, he told Ellena out loud to let the girl know why she was in this place, “Ellie, you can't go back to your world!”
