One more minute

Time

It was dark. Very dark. That's what I knew for certain.

I wasn't in the woods anymore.

I was in a room.

Not my room.

The white ceiling I am seeing.

It's not my regular brick and rock ceiling.

Turning my head, I saw a man in the corner, using a desk lamp to finish his work.

Feeling his presence I knew instantly that this was the person who saved me.

I took the time to look at my savior.

He looked around the age of his late 20s into his 30s. But even so, he looked young.

His hair was such a light brown, it can almost be considered plantinum.

And his face was peaceful and calm.

"Seems like you have woken up" he stated in a calm, yet happy manner.

How do I reply to something like that?

I just nodded.

What do I do now...?

Without thinking, my voice reached my throat and pass my lips.

"I'm at Cross Academy... Aren't I?"

I stared at the man in the eyes.

He smiled at me, and stood up.

"Yes you are" he said, standing before me.

"Hmm.... can..... you not tell anyone that I was ever here?" I asked.

I can't be found yet.

No yet.

"And why's that?" The man asked.

"Just asking..... What's you name?"

"Oh dear! Seems like I forgot to introduce myself! I am Keien Cross! I am the headmaster" he smiled brightly. So bright it's seems as of he changed into a chibi.

All of the sudden, his expression changed.

His smile died down. And he bowed down.

"Do you have a place to go, young mistress?" He asked kindly.

"Sadly, I don't. After being held captive for so long, I have no connections anymore" I said.

It can't be a lie if half isn't.

"But-"

"I meant connections that I want to know that I am still alive.... Or out" I cut him off.

It's finally about time for me to do things by myself.

Time for fate to play its role.

Time for me complete what I did all those years ago....

When one minute was all it took to......
