ELEVEN

Secret

The bitterness. Hatred. Betrayal. Everyone left me just to make me more miserable in this life. I received again a letter from those powerful majesties.

I am holding the mirror that the queen and king really wanted.

I should explore what is the secret of this mirror.

I know it’s not an ordinary mirror but what does this mirror possess that even the living highness still gives an interest to this.

My mirror, do you speak?

I might be losing my mind now that I’m actually talking to a dead mirror thing. I am busy tweaking my hair when suddenly as I looked in my mirror, the face of a handsome guy appeared.

Omy gosh!!!!!!

“You are real?!!!”

The guy doesn't seem to hear or see me. What’s wrong? I thought he was like a genie or he was not? But wait a minute. This guy!!!!!

"YOU ARE BENJAMIN SEBASTIAN RIGHT?!!!”

He really looks like that jerk lawyer. His face becomes blurry and what’s left is my reflection. What just happened?

I should call JC. She might know something or maybe a hunch or knowledge about old things. She well, somewhat loves anthropology? but it was childhood years! what am I thinking?! or what if I was just hallucinating a while ago or worse I’m being delusional because of my situation?!

“Hello!!! wow! just f*****g wow eleven shear! You know how to use the call option now! Did you eat something?! Or are you on drugs?!! My gad!”

"Calm down Sis! stay overnight at my house later will you?! I want to discuss something with you.”

I heard her sigh and quickly said that she would come before dinner but in a sarcastic way nevertheless I don't give a damn.That b***h for sure was more interested in the issues I have than, me. Lol.

-

*DING DONG!*

Oh. She’s here too early! I should prepare something. I opened my door and to my dismay, it was the great Sebastian again.

"What again?!”

"Don’t get mad. I was just thinking how you are doing now but I see, you are fine now. Here’s my number. Call me if you need an attorney or if you plainly need me and I’ll be there at all costs."

"Why are you being like that?! We don’t really know each other and stop stalking me!”

He seems nonchalant. He started to take off his shoes and went to the kitchen where I was just done cooking my favorite ‘Adobo. Why is he there? This is not even his house!

“Hey! What the hell!”

I saw him getting a plate and started putting in rice, even serving himself what I cooked. Right, damn. He was getting on my nerves!

"Let’s eat now! What are you doing there?”

“Ha! As far as I remember, we are not into any relationship where you will have the right to act like that in front of me. Y—”

He shut me up by putting the adobo rice in his spoon and feeding me. Tsk!

As I ate the food he fed me, I really should buy new locks with views inside from the door.

'the heck! why I am so poor!!

"Be honest with me! What’s your deal?!”

The jerk intentionally ignored me and he was just there eating silently but I can see the enjoyment in the eyes of him staring now at me. What?! STARING?!

“You!! eat fast and we will talk!”

“Yeah. Okay!”

We just synchronize when we are now done eating. I started to wash the dishes then afterwards, Benjamin sat in my sofa bed. Yes, I decided to talk with him here because I felt like someone was watching us from afar.

"Benjamin Sebastian. I know a lot about you which is why you seem suspicious to me. Are you sure you just passed by here?”

"The Queen and King called me.”

I felt that my feet got glued to where I am standing.

"Why did they talk to you?”

Sebastian looks like he wants to stop himself from saying things or secrets! But he knows me now I think? 'cause he even knew my place goddammit! I won’t stop until I find out what you are hiding from me.

"You are intelligent Ms.Eleven. Everything about you was unique. But why are you a princess but what? a peasant?'

I started to clench my fist. It looks like someone already made a way to my identification. All about me.

“Don’t think too much about that. It’s not a good habit.”

"Uhm, yeah right! Well, I will go home now. I want to say something about you so listen carefully.”

He was there facing me with the eyes of sincerity at the same time, he was a bit manly and fearsome.

“Tsk. What is that?”

He seems hesitant but he still proceeds to say what he wants to tell me.

“You are being followed. Everywhere you go, someone is trying to kill you and I suspect they are the king and queen’s subordinates.”

I should know better but are they really the one who wanted me gone? I am now confused about everything.

-

The pressure I am feeling right now made its way to make me crazy on how to really react about this f*****g mess of a life. Sebastian was acting weird and weirder! Well, even right now.

“Ven, you never texted me before! I am waiting every f*****g damn seconds but when you did, I even leave my trial and what is this right now? here? really in a supermarket? where’s the emergency matter here for pete's sake!”

When I said he got weirder, this is what I meant! Why the serious response? I just tried to prank him that someone suspicious followed me here in a supermarket while I’m doing my Friday's grocery routine! How the hell will I know he’s currently having his f*****g trial? Damn attorney!

“I am sincerely sorry? well are you really a one call away kind of type? I mean you are not making sense here!”

I saw him burst in anger before but right now, I think even if the volcano erupts, he can compete! Why is it so hot Mr. Parker?

“You're seriously in danger here, miss! If you really do not want to be save then go! I’m very pissed right now and I can’t control my anger. I think, just go to jail! promise, I will release you if I finally catch the real culprit of the murdered boyfriend of yours! just… just let me get my peace!”

He is badly mad I guess. Evenso, it’s not right what he said and wanted me to do! Ha! Is he f*****g kidding me? He should be the one to get in jail or worse, get rehab! can't help but giggles!

“What’s f*****g funny?!”

Right. From now on, I should keep everything to myself.

“Nothing! well, you are already here and you missed the trial then, better just accompany me for a bit. Is that fine with you? I can treat you for dinner.”

As he smoothly slides in his hands on his pocket, looking rigged and remarkably notorious aura, we are three inches away from each other while roaming around the supermarket.

I actually never thought that he would gladly accept my offer to have dinner with me because he was obviously not in the mood for what I did but guess what? he seemed excitedly looking forward to what I will cook later as he scanned my grocery items.

“Eleven, you need to act normal!”

He suddenly walked past me as if we didn't know each other well. It's a half truth but what he whispered to me is a bit off. Still, without much query to him I obliged.

I didn’t want to ask but what I am feeling right now is creepy. Someone was penetrating my soul from the back like who is it? What does he or she want? or Are they?



I got home with my body still intact like we can’t say if one day I might get killed outside or whatsoever because the case of Rylo was still in process. Would it really be better to stay in jail? f**k it! I am influenced by Sebastian's craziness.
