Deranged Writer's Afterword

It's my first time flying first class, hell it's the first time I'm flying anywhere in this life.

The inside of the private plane was just as the outside, luxurious and comfy. We were given fancy drinks and all sorts of snacks on the plan. There was even an on call masseuse on the plane to massage the passengers.

I put on a movie, it was one of those animated movies that Bisney seemed to be pumping out every year. I slowly sipped the strawberry lemonade that I had ordered while watching 'Boana'.

The strawberry lemonade was divine, who'd have thought that would ever work...but it strangely does.

The movie was so-so, I would have done things a lot differently if I was the main character but hey...let Boana do her thing.

By the time the movie finished, we were still in the air.

I suppose that make sense since this was a seven hour flight.

The auction was being held on the Island Of Kauai.

Everything that the three barriers angels erected touched was under the rule of the 'Elda' Empire.

The first barrier was given the name, Amator.

Lycan, the capital of the human empire was located within Amator.

Evergreen orphanage and the Unity was also located within the Amator, it was the biggest barrier among the three.

The Island of Kauai was located at the edge of Amator.

It was primarily know for it's strawberry fields.

If heaven exists...it's the Island of Kauai.

It's a place I made to my liking.

' I can't wait.', I thought excited to land.

" Welcome to Kauai !"

A woman dressed in Kauain traditionals greeted us after we landed.

She put garland of flowers on us and lead us to another limousine. Kauai was an island with temperate temperature, which was the best for growing strawberries. The limo stops after some time and we get outside to find that we were in a resort called, ' Spring Valley'.

We're all given different rooms and given time to freshen up, I take my time and enjoy a good dip in the tub, after which we were called towards a common room. I was the last to reach there, when I opened the door I saw everybody conversing with an old man.

That must be Eustace Colleen, Katherine's grandfather and the head of the Colleen family.

~~~~

" Thank you for inviting us out here, Mr. Colleen.", I say with a smile on my face.

" You must be Adam Creed....I've heard so much about you from Kathy."

Eustace was a character that never cared about the world, all he cared about was his family and it's success. Even when he found out the truth about the angels, he remained neutral.

A selfish old man who only cared about his family.

Just because he remained neutral didn't mean that he was weak in any way, he had the largest reserve of the strongest resource on the world.

Money.

" The auction's tomorrow evening, so do you all have any plans for tomorrow ?", Eustace asks staring at my forehead.

He was probably using his skill on me....I hope Katherine told him about the four billion thing or else things were about to get awkward.

" We wanted to explore Kauai.", Emilia says in a shy voice.

" That's good because I already arranged a tour around the island for all of you."

All of us gasp and thank him.

" It's no problem....only the best for my daughter's friends.", he says looking at me a little strangely.

Soon after that, waiters came and served us our dinner.

It was a unique meal, with every dish having something to do with strawberry in one way or the other. We even ate a chicken that had only eaten strawberries during it's lifespan,

It didn't taste any different from normal chicken.

~~~~

The next day, I woke up at seven in the morning and got ready to explore Kauai.

After getting ready, I got out of my room and went to the lobby like we had planned yesterday.

But strangely....other than Katherine no one else had arrived.

We decide to wait for the rest of then until Eustace comes in and says,

" Your friends are all down with food poisoning."

Well...that's a little weird, we all ate the same food so why were we completely fine.

" We should probably cancel our plans then.", Katherine says looking at her grandfather suspiciously.

" Nonsense...the two of you can go, I'll look after your friends.", Eustace said with a gentle smile.

" That would be great, sir.", I say and get the fuck out of there before he could change his mind.

I'm not gonna let those shitheads ruin this for me....

I've been waiting a long time for this, dattebayo.

~~~~

" What did you do...grandpa ?", Katherine asked Eustace.

" Nothing....but now that things are like this....try to charm him like we planned.", Eustace said while coldly looking at Adam's retreating figure.

" Grandfather...you....", Katherine just sighs and leaves her grandfather behind.

She actually wanted to enjoy today with her friends...but it seems that was a bit too much to ask for.

Katherine stares at Adam who was literally dancing around in excitement feeling guilty.

~~~~

" So, what are we going to do first ?", I ask Katherine who seemed to be in a bad mood.

I guess she wanted to travel with the others...and I don't blame her. It being just the two of us was going to be a little awkward, but I couldn't care less about that.

I plan to enjoy my time here...with or without Katherine.

" We're visiting a strawberry farm that my family owns-"

" WOW !", I say looking out the window of the car we were in.

I could see troves of people dancing around covered in strawberry, people were throwing squashed strawberries at each other. The people were have a strawberry fight....

This must be the-

" It's La Strawberryina....it's a festival.", Katherine says while also looking out the window with me, the frustration that lined her face earlier had disappeared and was replaced by a look of wonder.

Another reason why Kauai was filled with people during this time was because of this particular purpose. Unlike usual strawberries which were thin, the ones grown on Kauai was thick and big like a tomato.

The car we were in passes through the crowd slowly and finally reach a farm that looked almost empty.

~~~~

" Welcome to our farm of joy. I'm your guide, Lorna.", a woman says while smiling at us.

Lorna guides us through the farm explaining every little thing....

It was boring....extremely boring.

Almost one hour pass like this and I'm still bored out of mind, I look at Katherine and she looks the same.

" Please wait for me while I go bring some farming tools that'll help you plant your very own strawberry..", Lorna says going to collect her tools

I can still hear the music from the festival....

I look at Katherine who looked half dead and asked her with a smile on my face,

" Wanna get out of here ?"
