A genius or an idiot?1,807 words~10 min read

Cami was simply enjoying the music resonating in the place.

People were taken away by the music and the beauty of the scene. Full of red flowers were accompanying the music. Cami, who still had his red cape on his head was as beautiful as the flowers. He was the master of the scene. His hands on the piano seemed to float. His mysterious aura was enveloping even the piano

And then it was time for the solo of the piano. I accelerated and my hand were moving automatically as if I had memorized the piece perfectly. When in reality, it was the first time I heard this music like all of the spectators. I was concentrated on the partition and my hand were moving by themself.

Sometimes I had little panics because I didn't wanted to failed but I was able to take control of myself and just enjoy the pleasure of feeling my hand floating, the feeling of my head decrypting the partition at a crazy speed. The joy of feeling the stares of surprise from the members of the group and the stares of hypnotized, amazed and charmed people on me.

Some flowers started growing on the piano and a carpet made from flowers was forming under the piano and me.

People were feeling a peaceful atmosphere around them

Even if there was an explosion, nobody would have bother to look away from the boy.

Sweat was starting to form themself on my body but nothing could have disturbed me and nothing could have disturbed the audience too.

And without noticing, the song was coming to an end.

I hit the last note and watched the audience still stunned. My breast was going up and down and I was trying to catch my breath. I stand up.

"Thank you for having listening for the whole piece!" I turned around looking at the group still amazed by me

"Thank you for authorizing me to play with you, it was a true honor" I bowed in front of them

They were all paralyzed. Not able to move a single part of their body, stunned by the performance of the boy. Their head couldn't even think about anything else than 'splendid...'

I was able to leave the place without anyone even moving as if they were not sure if all that was not just a dream or the performance of an angel.

I giggled and I left like I came. Like a phantom leaving no trace behind.

The only trace left behind were the flowers left on the place.

It was a strange scene to see, they were all still hypnotized. Not moving a single muscle

but it's not the first time I saw this.

In my past life, my mother was leaving the scene with the same scenarios as this

It already happened to me but just 1 or 2 time in my entire past life

I clutched on my red cape and entered a dark alley.

Not long after, people started to fully understand what happened and people cheered on the group even if the red cape boy was not here anymore. It was as strange as waking up from the best dream you ever had. Plenty of people asked the group who this boy was but the only respond the group had was that they didn't know either.

...

I was wandering and smiling behind my cape.

It's been a while since I didn't performed in front of a public without it being a competition.

But... how am I gonna find my way back!!?? I got too absorbed by the whole music thing and I forgot my main reason to go there was to ask people for the way...

Ahh!! I'm so stupid when I'm absorbed by something. I completely enter in my own world and I don't even realize what's happening outside!!

I was so absorbed in my own thought that I bumped into someone.

I apologized before realizing that it was the little girl I had giving my cape to, earlier.

"Ah sorr- wait... It's you! Are you ok?" "Ah! Mister! I wanted to thanked you more appropriately. So here I am! Thank you so much for helping me earlier! And your cape is much more confortable to wear! Thank you very much!!" She thanked me with a big smile

"I should be the one thanking you! Because of the cape you gave me, I was able to pass much more unnoticed! And everybody would have do the same for you."

"Mister... I have a question for you..." "Yes? What is it?"

"Who are you really? Are you an angel!!?? You seemed like one on the piano earlier!" I stiffened

"Ah... You saw me play..." "Of course!! The music attracted me as if a string was pulling me. And I was curious about who could have done that!" "Haha-...well, thanks but no, I'm not an angel but I can't completely say that I come from this world..." this girl had something that made me not want to lie to her "Oooh!! Then what are you!!??"

"It's a secret" I placed my finger in front of my mouth

"Now it's my turn to ask you something..." "Yes what is it??"

"I'm lost... could you help me go somewhere?please" "Yes! Of course come follow me! I have a special place where you can see the town and orient yourself after,"

...

I followed her and in the same time tried memorizing the town by details like I did at school.

...

I saw the placed where we came from and thanked for last time the girl before going on the way where I could return at the vehicle.

...

I'm finally at the vehicle and I'm really tired of today. I had to take off my cape for nobody to recognize me as the 'red cape boy'

Each street corner I was hearing about the 'red angel', 'the mysterious red boy', 'the red genius' and all type of name they gave me

I sat on one of the bench in the vehicle and I waited for them to come back.

In not even 1 hour they got back. Without even sparing a glance at me they sat down and the vehicle started moving.

Suddenly father started to talk

"The boy at the piano was amazing, I wished I had time to talked to him. Do any of you know him?" I stiffened

Was father really there when I played??

"No I never saw him in all my life" they all replied but one

"And you Tale? Do you know him?" The boy seemed to think of something before responding

"No 'father' I don't know him" he didn't seemed to lie so father didn't continued asking

The boy pov*

This boy... he strangely remind me of the one I saw this night... could it be the same person? Or is it a phantom that goes and come? Nobody know him, even 'father'... he had the same mysterious aura and he was as graceful as the one I saw... but... who could it be...

The music he plays is charming me and his magic is as beautiful as him... I don't know him but I already saw him, should I say it to 'father'? No bad idea, he would just take me for a fool.

1st pov*

Haaa- it was not a good idea to play... but, it was really fun ...

...

At the house ...

We finally arrived at the house and I directly went to my bed.

I was tired but not to fall asleep so I decide to just go take my bath. I let the water running while I was undressing myself.

When the water reached the level I wanted, I stopped the water from flowing and entered the bath.

It was so relaxing. I let my head rest on the border and closed my eyes, I imaged myself doing the scene again and again. Playing on the piano while reading the partition...

Other pov*

We just finished our outing. And I'm still wondering who the boy was...

I was passing where the door of Harrion was when I heard the bath flowing...

Harrion is the only true son of 'father' but he is the only one 'father' don't consider as his child

I always hated him for his behavior but since he lost his memory, he doesn't act like a spoiled kid anymore.

He is still not someone I like that's for sure

I mean... he didn't even bothered to hang out with us earlier, he didn't went with us and wait for us to come back... he's not even trying...

In the corner of my eye I see something black under the furniture beside the door of Harrion

I decide to look at what it is and...

IT'S A PETAL FROM ONE OF THESE BLACK FLOWERS!!!!

Why is it here?? ... I looked at the door in front of me...

I slowly open the door without making a sound, I check the room.

It's a really big room with a door to the bathroom where Harrion is currently at. The bed is large and fabulous. A shelf is filled with books and in the back of the room you can see a big window with the curtains open. Beside the window, there is a dresser with four big drawers on the side...

I know I shouldn't do this but... the curiosity took control of my body.

I looked around the room and I saw a second petal under his dresser. I went take a look but not a single flower is in his dresser

Maybe...

I open the first drawer. It's completely empty. I check on the second, it's filled with books

I do the third and it's filled with ribbons.

Finally, I checked the last one, it's difficult to open but with a good move I was able to open it. It seemed empty at the first look but when you take a second look at it, you can see that it's a fake bottom. I remove the fake bottom and I saw it...

A drawer filled with these gorgeous black flower and a red cape is laying on the flowers...

Little note from author!

I really want to thanks all of the persons reading my story and voting for it! At the beginning it was supposed to be just a story I was writing for fun but I decided to post it.

I'm really glade people actually enjoy my story even with the crappy story and mistakes.

Don't worry if you think that the love story is slow. It's just that I'm trying to really build an atmosphere and a real reason for the love story than just 'hot, cute, sexy' or anyway...

Thanks you really much!
