We are here in village there is a lot of shops it's perfect for the person who is shopaholic. There are small market here that you can buy fresh vegetables and fruits. There are bakeries that has a different kinds of bread, salon , clothes and the weirdest is the shop call the destiny, Sarah said it is a fortune teller where she can see your future, I want to try it but Sarah said it's a bad idea.

But one shop stole my attention

The sword shop, the shop has a huge glass were the sword are displayed. I stop walking I don't know why am I attracted to swords, they were like hypnotising me and inviting me to go in and take them. I look at the two sword that is displayed in front of the shops. The first sword looks simple the blade is long it's  very sharp and shiny the handle is wood that has swirl carving design, the wood looks varnished and looks like very light and easy to use. The second sword is completely opposite it's more bigger, the blade is is curved in end it is like the pirate's designed sword and the blade is thicker than the other one but they are both sharp, the handle have a wing design and have a red shiny diamond in the middle of the wings, this one looks very expensive. It's beautiful I don't know why I can't take my eyes off it

And the both the swords move they are slowly moving up

What the? Am I dreaming?

I close my eyes once and this is really happening the swords is floating

And I began to  shake when I find out that  the edge of the blade is pointing to me, like it's ready to kill me anytime

What the? What is happening ? Did I do that ?

I turn my head to find Sarah and did not think twice to ran to her. What is that?
I hold her hand and walk to go back to shop

"Hey what's wrong did you like something" she looks worried but I ignored it. I keep walking and thinking how did that happen . When we reach the Sword shop, the sword is not floating anymore and it is back the way it is placed before like nothing happened.

"What is it? Do you like that? " she point the sword and  she is laughing at me as if I am joking

"No....I uhhh..... No I thought I saw something" I look down and confused, I swear I saw it move. She hold my chin to look up to her

"After this we will go home, maybe you were just tired" I nod , she holds my hand and start walking to another shop. I glance once again to the swords, yeah maybe I was so tired I imagine silly things

I can't think straight,my mind is still on the floating swords  did I control them??

"Here try this on" she give me five dress in different colours

"No, Sarah this is too much,that is your money you can't spend that to me" I didn't take the clothes but this time she's serious

"No I insist,it's my money I can buy what I want, and besides it's the cheapest clothes shop here in village" she smile and look around to shop

-------------
In the end she buy me four dress because she can't afford to buy five, she makes me really happy and trying not to focus on the floating swords again. We walked home safetly we are about to eat dinner, I dining table and see the bouquet of red roses place neatly in to transparent jar that has a water in it, I smell It it's smell so good

"I buy them in the village, they kinda expensive but it's fine " she is preparing the plates in the kitchen

"They are very pretty" I said while closing my eyes and sniffing the roses

"Wanna here a secret?" She smiled and sit in chair, she softly touch the rose, I nodded and sit beside her

"I actually hate rose, what I like is daisy and sunflower "

"Why don't you buy daisy or sunflower?"

"The color of the rose reminds me of your hair I start liking it."

Her gaze turn into the wall I see her shocked face, I turn around to see it, and I see a calendar. She stand and start to panic and walk towards the calendar.

"I thought it's Thursday today, but it's Friday !so tomorrow is Saturday, I'm so idiot I forgot"

I stand to follow her and ask

"Why?what is going to happen tomorrow? " she kneel down to face me she looks worried and sad at the same time

" it's Antonio's death anniversary, and my daughter Annie is coming tomorrow so we can visit her father toghether" I hold her hand and smile

"Don't worry I'll help you tomorrow" she smile in return and stand reaching for my hand

"Thank you Erza, now come on let's clean you up and sleep, because tomorrow you'll help me"
----------------------

I can't sleep its already midnight I'm thinking about the floating sword, I asked Sarah if the wizard is true she said yes,she also said that they were everywhere, powerful and a guild that all the members is wizard. She said they were born with the power different kinds of power. What if I am a wizard? I just laugh at my thoughts.

Maybe I'm a wizard and my power is being weak and scared all the time
