Scorpion

Chapter 2

I was moving through the motions, life was going at its pace but it seems like that I have been left behind somehow. everything around me is hazy, the clarity which was there in the life is now a mere thought of the imagination. It seems that everything is happening at a pace of other worldly fashion where it seems as if I just blink my entire life would become a solitary field, just like the battle ground which I have just read last week in a werewolf novel.

But what we can say it is life that it moves on at a speed of lightning. If we spend a minute too long in thinking it zoom pasts through you and all you can dwell upon the moments which can be changed.

I was sitting in the park watching people in amusement as it is favorite pastime. There is a couple sitting under the shade of a very large and very old tree. They are in their zone, doing what couples do best smoozing each other and promising the world to each other, knowing exactly that in some time life would through a curve ball to them and whatever they once hold near and dear towards them would collapse.

A couple of ladies are sitting on a nearby desk and gossiping about who knows what petty thing while pretending to watch their children who were playing without a care in their world. A couple of people were actually jogging and minding their business but some are looking like they also want to run through their reality.

 A shrill sound jolted me awoke from my keen people watching skills as I checked my cell phone and frowned while seeing it is from the orphanage where I live with a lot of other people. I sighed knowing tonight is going to be a long night where I have to see what it is that the lady of the house wanted from me and the other younger kids.

You would be wondering who is this pessimistic person who is so frustrated with the world that she does not know how to be happy.

My name is Sydney Landon, I am 18 years of age and I am a Scorpion (born fighter If I say so myself), I have big blue eyes black hairs and I am orphan. Yes you heard it right people that I am an orphan , my parents died in a car crash which I survived at a tender age of 2 just like I said born fighter.

My parents were both drug addicts and were driving the car being high as a kite and they met with an accident killing people in the other cars. I had been moving  from house to house since than. I have completed my college degree as I am super smart not to sound smug about it but the only reason I have to stay in the orphanage is only because of the younger kids. They are defenseless small creatures who would not know what will happen to them. 

When I reached the orphanage there were 2 men dressed in expensive clothing were sitting and I instantly became alert that what is it that they required.

Marry Anne the owner of the house and a very kind lady said, " Sydney dear, these gentleman are waiting for you for quite some time."

When I looked at them I felt smaller than my 5,8" stature. " Ms Lane a pleasure, I am Mr Black and this is my colleague Mr Knight we are the attorneys for Mr Blitz. "

I shook their hands but couldn't help but think that who is this person Mr Blitz. 

While seeing me in the suspense Mr Black said, " Mr Blitz was your grandfather and he didn't know that you existed until the very last of his time. When he found about you he  hired a private investigator in locating you but unfortunately when we located you he already passed on."

It was mentioned in his last will that you be located and then I would find you and provide you what is rightfully yours.And that is how the evening went me in total shock and the lawyers to reschedule again and this time I would have to go to their office.
