falling angel

Chapter 6

She is Moon Shadow.There is no other person in this world who has eyes as beautiful as hers that make people suffocate.

When I saw her, those beautiful eyes were full of tears.I must have freaked her out!I knelt down and raised my hand to wipe away tears for her:

"I'm sorry, I scared you!" She shook her head, fear was written in her big eyes, which made people feel more and more distressed and pitiful.

"I scared you. I was too absorbed to notice you coming." She stood up and gently patted the dust on the white skirt.

"Why are you sitting here?"

She shook her head again: "There is no reason." After that, she quickly climbed to the upper bunk, covered herself with a quilt, and fell asleep facing the wall.

I have a lot of things in my heart that I want to say to this girl who I only met once, but who is as important as a sister in my heart, but her attitude makes me stand stupidly, speechless.I checked the time, but it was nine o'clock in the evening.My stomach growled suddenly - I had to go to the restaurant downstairs to get something to eat.So I opened the door, tiptoed, and walked out the door.The corridor was very quiet at this time, unusually quiet.It seemed that instead of dozens of elementary school girls living here, dozens of corpses were parked here.I glanced up at the chandelier overhead—crystal, amethyst.It's very dazzling, and each one is different. There are some men and women in robes painted on them, and there seems to be some stories being told there.

I just looked at it in such a ignorant manner, and walked forward until I bumped into a black shadow.

"Those are stories from the Bible. How's that? Interesting, isn't it?" I tried to look up and saw a fat, woman's face - her jaw could kill a mouse.Like the Headmaster, she wore a head-to-toe black gown.

"Why did you appear here suddenly? Are you intentionally scary? Old woman?" I rolled my eyes and gave her a blank look.Detour away angrily.But this woman blocked the corridor so hard that there was no gap for a little girl like me to walk through.

"It seems that you are not a good girl. You should say: Ma'am, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. You need to be educated, you know?" She raised her eyebrows, looking very aggressive .

I ignored her, I'm used to treating every teacher with this attitude.So, I turned around and walked away in the opposite direction.After walking less than ten steps away, he suddenly turned around, rushed towards the fat woman with lightning speed, and then successfully knocked her down to the ground.She was lying on the ground and howling, I smiled secretly, and rushed to the stairs at the fastest speed, but was blocked by another person oncoming.

"Why did you run in such a hurry? Is there something urgent? My child." I was discouraged, it was the damn principal.Behind him, the fat woman's voice trembled with anger: "She's crazy! She must be possessed by a demon! Lock her up in the attic!"

I instinctively hid behind the headmaster, pretending to have nothing to do with me.The principal didn't know it, and smiled at me tolerantly, and turned to the fat woman: "I told you, be patient and loving with children. Don't always lock them in the attic. She has always been I haven't eaten, I'm here to pick her up for dinner."

The fat woman wanted to say something, but I hurriedly interrupted: "I'm so hungry, I can eat a pig now." So the principal waved to the fat woman: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow when we pray!" He took my hand and turned to go downstairs.I turned around, winked at the fat woman, and stuck out my tongue.The fat woman's expression was a little distorted, and she muttered:

"Goblin! Another goblin!"

I ate that meal for a long time, because the principal kept nagging in my ear from beginning to end when I was eating: girls can't do this, girls can't do that.She even took the trouble to tell me, when eating noodles, which position is the most suitable for hands to put on the chopsticks, and what angle should be kept between the elbow and the table is the most elegant.

"Did the kids here make any mistakes?"

"What?" The principal was interrupted by my sudden question.

"I mean, are the children here sent here because they made a mistake, locked up. Then you torture them one by one! Just like the witch in the story."

She finally understood what I said, but she giggled like an old hen, making me lose all my appetite, and slapped the chopsticks heavily on the table.

"What's so funny!"

"You're the funniest kid I've ever met."

"You're the funniest witch I've ever met."

"You may have misunderstood a bit. We, I mean, I, and Teacher Cui you just met, and all the teachers here, are not witches."

"Then you are wearing witch's black robes?" I raised my left eyebrow and looked at her provocatively, trying to warn her that I would see through a lie.

She raised her hand to touch my head, again making me feel very awkward.When she wanted to touch a second time, I avoided it.

"We're nuns, boy. It's a mission school, you know. All the teachers here are clergymen."

"nun!"

She nods. "We will spend our entire lives spreading the gospel for God and washing away the sins of the world."

I don't understand, but I don't want to hear her nagging anymore.So I pretended to understand and nodded vigorously.After that, I ate the remaining noodles in a mess, put down my chopsticks, and prepared to run away.

"Mark my words, boy! Be a dignified and graceful girl. Don't waste, and don't eat or walk too fast!"

For some unknown reason, I made a move that surprised me: I gently pulled up the skirt with both hands, and curtseyed to the principal as a medieval European high-society woman (this is what I learned from TV) learned here).Before she had time to recover from the surprise, I rushed back to the dormitory on the third floor.

After closing the door, I gasped heavily, and Moon Shadow asked me softly, "What happened?"

I tried my best to calm my panting, and gave her an ugly smile: "Moon Shadow, this is a monastery."

Moon Shadow nodded calmly at me.From her expression, I know that she doesn't think this place is scary.

I felt that there was no need to continue the conversation, so I washed up casually, lay down under the quilt in anger, and stopped talking.What happened that day is played back like a movie.In the end, his vision blurred, his brain shut down, and he fell into a deep sleep.

I won't let them turn me into a nun.Because I am a demon.This was my last awareness before I fell asleep.
