Chapter 12: Taste of Blood
Shade stopped and so did Eirin.
’Did I say that out loud?’ Eirin covered her mouth and hiccupped. "I-I have another question! What are those things outside the window?" She tried to change the direction of their conversation.
"To answer your annoying question, just look out of the window." Shade gave way for Eirin, giving enough space for her to peek out.
"Are you sure you’re not planning to push me?"
"I could throw you in an instant if I wanted to," Shade said as he lay on the sofa near the wall as if forgetting what he was asking the teenage girl. Since Eirin’s still curious about the thing that flew around a minute ago, she walked towards the window, hoping to find some answers to her questions.
The scenery outside changed, and the pink and blue dust in the air vanished. "What happened?" Eirin’s forehead creased as she looked around and only saw a vast grassland with a gigantic oak tree in the middle. "Where are the sparkles and pixie dust?"
"What drugs are you on?"
Eirin glared at Shade after he said that. She then looked back outside and her eyes twinkled. The dull scenery changed, and the pink and blue dust appeared in front of Eirin.
"Amazing," she said aloud with her eyes twinkling in amusement. When Eirin tried to touch the dust, it seeped through her skin and as if invaded by her body, she suddenly felt light.
Eirin giggled, but as her body grew lighter, the wind started pulling her and the floating magical particles started getting denser. She reached the edge of the window and grabbed onto the glass.
’Why does this feel like they’re pulling me out?’ she thought as she struggled to stay inside the room.
