“How should I know? What would happen if I would forget about the incantation or the song?”
“In the best scenario you would have make fool of yourself.”
“And in the worst scenario?”
“No comment.”
Marvell and Angell were talking alone, standing on a blanket a little far from the event, both of them very cheerfully. The festival was almost over, the music was still vibrating from the huge black boxes, like from Marvell’s party, and the people were having fun without a worry. Her gang was dancing very energetic, or at least only the two boys, because Lania and Serena was seating on a bench, talking. Vanilla, angry, offended, defeated (and so on) was seating far away, with her girls, being very sulky. She cannot leave from the event that soon, despite of her despair, because at the midnight she had one more thing to do, meaning to sink the Rain’s Daughter into the sea, this would be the final of the festival, or to sacrifice her. Forced by legends, caught by tradition, Vanilla was seating more than upset on a little bench, with her friends beside her, not so happy, crossing arms.
“You know Marvell, you were right. I mean honestly I cannot escape thinking about you… I mean I think more at you the usually and since when you called me love, my heart cannot stop smiling.” Angell honestly said, having her face red.
“Really? I said with all my heart Angell. I really wish to be something serious between us.”
“Me too, honestly.”
Marvell hugged Angell, and the girl woke up suddenly raised by Mariuss.
“Ready princess? It’s almost midnight.”
“Yeah… yes.” The girl said confused.
The middle of the night came, and the sea was whirling, small waves were smashing on the cliff, and Angell with Vanilla was already in the freezing water, reaching until their lap.
“Are you ready beauty?” Vanilla mock her, swinging by two reasons (was guided by the water with the consumed alcohol) looking at the other girl with an undesirable hate, envy.
She grabbed Angell’s hair and she sank her in the water. Then Angell came back to the surface.
“Are you insane!?”She said, breathing the air thirsty.
“I will show you who the bitch is!” Vanilla said, and for the second time she grabbed strongly her hair, and pushed her in the water, holding her more than enough. The people from the shore were watching the girls, waiting for Angell to come again at the surface, but seemed to be that she didn’t. Vanilla putted her both hand on the girl’s head, forcing her to not come back, drowning her, hoping that Angell will leave the world where only a queen can be. Angell started to get dizzy, even if she was struggling; the water was filling her lungs.
“ANGELL!” Marvell shouted.
Angell didn’t and couldn’t see or hear anything. Was over, Vanilla won. She automatically thought at her mother who will be alone, at her friends, and at her lover Marvell, who in that moment was running towards Vanilla.
Everything was dark, but she was feeling a strange warm, like the sun was burning her. But the light started to blind her in the moment when she easily opened her eyes, observing that she was no longer in the water.
“… I will kill her, I swear! How the hell…”
“If she was dying… God….”
“Lania you are stupid! She wouldn’t die!”
She heard unclear voices and felt some pairs of eyes staring at her. First thing she connected her perplexed look with two blue sparkling eyes.
“Angell! Are you ok sweetie?”
And everything started to wake in the girl’s tired mind. She rose in her bone head, scared and shaky, still being dizzy and with a big headache. She was on a hospital bed; beside her was Marvell, the Ravings and also her mother, everyone look tired and pale.
“I still want to merry you, even if you look awful.” Mariuss said, being nudged by Serena.
“Wha… what just happen?” Was her first question, with a husky voice, looking to everyone, waiting for an explication.
“Well, you were very close to drown.”Lania said.
“What? How?”
But she remembered that Vanilla tried to kill her, taking advantage of the tradition.
“Vanilla! Where is she? I will drown myself that horrible witch!”
“Don’t worry my dear. She is arrested for attempted murder.” Amira said, petting her.
“She tried to drown me. Who saved me?”
Marvell took her hand in his, and the girl felt his body warmth, like he was burning, and with a tense voice and with his wet blue eyes, started to speak.
“If I wasn’t figure it out what Vanilla really tried to do… you where… where…”
Amira putted a hand on his right shoulder, calming him down, and on the boy’s face it could be read the fury.
“Such a luck that you saved her Marvell, for that I thank you.” Amira said, smiling.
Angell was feeling too, the Marvel’s fury, how it was invading her body, conquering every single cell. She just wanted to rise up from the bed, and to drown that blonde bitch herself. Serena observed the girl’s face expression, and she putted her hand on her shoulder.
“Angell, look! The God was endured by you. You brought the rain to the island!”
Angell didn’t realize until then that at the window the rain was pattering with huge water bullets.
