Chapter 6 - Smile

 After a while Philip and Jessica left the bus station ignoring Tonya who sat down on the bench and cried her heart out.
"Well,at least that won't happen to me..."-she heard a voice say,next to her.-"Here,take this bit of fabric.You may want to clean your face." Tonya turned to see who was talking,it was a boy with straight black hair, light blue eyes and piercings all over his face.She felt like she had seen him before,like she already knew who he was.
"Do I know you?"-she asked.
"I believe you don't.Sorry, I should've introduced myself first."-he said,looking straight to the clouds.-"I'm Andrew Honory,Philip's younger brother."
 Tonya stared at him with disbelief.Philip's brother? He didn't look like him at all,except for the eyes!And he didn't look younger than Philip.
"You're younger than him?"
"Yes,even though I may look older.I'm 16,he's 17."-he said.
 Tonya couldn't help but wonder where Philip had gone, what school he was in,what did they do in Monster Slayers' schools,...The only thing she wasn't thinking about was how to get out of that place.
"You are awfully quiet.Now you know who I am,it's your turn to intruduce yourself!"-he smiled,but Tonya didn't smile back,Philip's words still echoed in her head, 'Who are you?', he had asked, it was like he had shot her right in her hearth.
"I'm Tonya."-she finally managed to say.-"What did you mean when you said that wouldn't happen to you?What wouldn't happen to you?"
 Andrew turned to look at her and started laughing as if he thought it was easy to understand what he meant.
"Well,I said that because the older brother is the only one who has to marry a girl he doesn't love.I can marry whoever I want,and I'll make sure I choose carefully.I feel bad for Philip sometimes,Jessica is such a cocky person."
 She smiled at him,he had made her smile,Andrew was funny,she knew he had noticed she was sad but he didn't know why.He doesn't need to know anyway,Tonya thought.
"Where did your brother go?"
"To school.Why were you crying?"
"Well can you take me to that school?"-she asked ignoring what Andrew had asked her.
"Uh..Sure,follow me."-he said,hesitating a bit.He started walking and Tonya followed him.Their world was beautiful,the sky was clean,the air was pure,there were towers made of gold,silver and crystal.The fields were light green and you could see flowers and trees,giant trees!It was all so peaceful that it was hard to belive the people who lived there actually fought demons and vampires and werewolves.
"Well this is it.I'm not sure you can go in though..."-Andrew said ,looking at her and holding her hand.
 The school was huge,it looked like a castle surrounded by all the green fields,it was isolated and closed with a gate.Through it Tonya could see the students passing through.She had to find a way in,she had to know what had happened with Philip.
 Andrew said goodbye,kissing her on her cheek and then he walked away.Tonya froze for a moment,his lips were ice cold.She started climbing the gate when she saw someone on the other side:
"Tonya?What on Earth are you doing here!?"-It was Charles.
