“AWAKENING“ JAROSŁAW STARZYŃSKI
PART ONE: The new beginning
The dawn has came. Jarek breathed a sigh of relief. He has known that last Wighthad been horrible and terrifying but also salutary experience which made him stronger.Regrettably he did not remember the facto. He was in the trick forest. Enormous oakssurrounded him and trick blanket of fog covered the view. It was cold. Jarek had onlyat-shirt, trousers and his favourite sandals. Which unfortunately was not useful in thissituation. Jarek had given some thought to the direction He should head. However the placewhere he has did not remind him Any known place.
„It isn’t good”- He sighed over the situation.
He Got lost and it started to snow as well. Jarek quickly spotted a big hole in the nearby treeand climbed inside. He felt safer. The nuts which He fund in the hollow encouraged him. Hehad not pricks of conscience when he was chewing next hazelnut Or walnut.
„ The squirrel should not hold it against me. Blind Chance caused that I am here”- Heexcused himself.
He has not yet aware of the fact that not blind Chance but another strong Power broughthim there. Why forest was chosen as scene of these events probably remain unknownforever.
Jarek started to collect his thoughts.
„ What has happened in fact?” Why am I so determined and motivated? How was I movedhere?”- He thought.
After half an hour our main character became sleepy from cold. His brain noticed that Heathis coming and his nerve cells started to Wight with time. He was analysing recent events.TV…, boredom…, computer…, flash…, darkness…, strong wind…, thunder… Strange Picturewere flashing through his mind. SHE…! In seconds everything became clear. The Dark Queenfrom Pygmalion English School.
„HER Power transported me here”- Jarek shouted unknowingly. He rememberedeverything…
… After strong thunder SHE had appeared before his eyes. Beautiful as always. Elegantlydressed. Her short dark hair had been flowing in the wind. SHE had hanged over the ground.Amazing view. Jarek had known HER before but never in that figure. He had been shocked.HER face normally amiable and full of warmth that moment had been cold and serious. Butthe eyes had made the biggest impression on Jarek. HER usually captivating look now had been like knock-down. HER eyes had been burning with cold, silver flames.
The dark Queen had spoken to Jarek in those words ( in English of course): „Youdisappointed me”. You fell my expectation. You are systematic to attend les sons but yourregularity in revision for obtained knowledge is invisible. Your Progress in English skillsunsatisfied me. I can not tolerate it Any more”.
Jarek even had not tried to excuse himself. Firstly, Jarek never used daily duties as anexcuse. Secondly, SHE surprised him and he had not had enough time to prepare somethingsensible. In fact He had understood his mistake. He had noticed that he had acted wrongthing, that he really had let her down, that He had lost much time. He had started to feelguilty of beguiling HER with Promise of doing homework which despite willingness had neverbeen done. So He had waited for a course of events.
„You were my favourite student and you still have Chance to keep this honourable title.Among All others you have the Power and potential to master English and to join myretinue enlightened. I know how much you like learning English. I know that English isextremely useful in your Job. So I will give you the last Chance. I offer you special, highquality English course. I know you are worth of it and you must be believe it. However thinkabout my proposition carefully. If you undertake this challenge I expect commitment. If youdisappointed you would never see me again in my human body. What say you?!”-SHE hadasked Jarek.
During that speech Jarek had grown in confidence. He thought that challenge over. He hadconsidered profits and risks and after Chile full of tension He articulated with strong, surevoice: „ I am undertaking this challenge. I am the one who is Worth this exclusive course. MyLady, you made proper decision”.
The Dark Queen had Smiles with relief and Her face again had became kind.
Jarek woken up. His back was numb with nuts He was lying on. The Sun was shining, snowbecame pool of water. On his chest He fund a letter written down using beautiful silverletter: „ remember of your promise. Believe me, I would not like to fulfil my one”.
