Layla woke up to the feeling of someone poking her, and with immense neck pain, she tried to get up from the position she was in, only to find out that she was chained up and not able to move, she looked around, to try and find out where she was and found a little girl beside her, who smiled when Layla’s eyes laid on her.
“I am Mia! I am ten, what about you?” The little girl introduced herself in a cheerful tone, while Layla was still confused on where she was and what happened to her, after last night.
“I am Layla, where is this place?” Layla realized that she was kidn*pped, she should had realized it the moment she opened her eyes, it had happened enough times that she should be able to notice it the second she opens her eyes.
“This is master’s hidden room.” Mia answered cheerfully, not aware of what was happening or the gravity of it, she only knew that her master liked bringing people down here, where they were, to do what? She didn’t know and her brother told her it was better if she didn’t.
“Why am I here?” Layla was asking the important questions, that would answer to her curiosity and not necessarily help her get out of the situation, because she would get out eventually.
“Because master’s sister is sick.” The little girl explained and was about to go in details, based on what she heard from the other servants, when suddenly somebody walked to her, and yanked her away from Layla.
“What did I tell you about coming here? Do you want the master to kill us?” A boy appeared, who seemed to be at least 14 years old, based on his voice and his baby face.
“But there is someone here and dad always said to help people when master puts them here.” Mia never knew why her dad didn’t like the master bringing people in the hidden room he would always complain to the other workers and even the master himself if the people were more than three master with always ignore him and tell him to stop caring about his business how to start caring about them and their safety with her brother didn’t like, and he voiced that out to their father, to stay away and stop talking about the kidnaping situation but….
Before she could finish that train of thoughts and her brother got a tight grip on her.“I don’t care, dad is dead and you will be too if you don’t listen to me, let’s go.” The boy didn’t pay any attention to Layla and dragged his little sister away, while the latter looked at Layla with sad eyes, bummed about the fact that she can’t help her.
“I wonder who kidn*pped me this time? A person who wants my parents money, a person who is obsessed with me or a person who one of my family members have wronged in a way? I can’t wait to know.” Layla said as she leaned back and accepted her faith.
The next day, Roselyn was back to traveling, but this time, with company, two annoying brothers who couldn’t seem to stop talking, they would find anything to talk about and discuss it for over an hour or two, it reminded her of Lyn, who since she came back yesterday, she hadn’t said anything and was just staring into distance, she looked as if she was thinking deeply about something, so she didn’t bother her but eventually, she got curious on why she was so quiet and asked.
‘I am just thinking about something, don’t worry about me.’ Lyn responded with the fakest smile, Roselyn could have ever seen from her.
If it was something she couldn’t tell her then it’s either something personal or something important that she would rather keep to herself, Roselyn would preferred to be the first one.
‘Is it about the brothers?’
‘Yeah, I am a bit suspicious of them.’ Lyn answered, with a white little lie, she didn’t want to bother with the matter of Cyan but she knew Roselyn would keep asking if she doesn’t say anything.
‘Me too, I don’t think I can fully trust them but that’s not what we need them for, we will just use them as we like and throw them later, don’t worry yourself too much about it.’ Roselyn said and Lyn laughed, she agreed with her and stopped thinking about Cyan, it wasn’t her business, he can do whatever he wanted, it had nothing with her, as he said, she would do her job as a creator of this world and leave back to her world with Ro..Alex.
It had been a few days, the trip was going smoothly, until they were attacked by a bear in the forest and had to take it down, to keep moving, Roselyn immediately grabbed her crossbow and told Leo to weaken the bear, and in two minutes, the bear was down and bleeding.
“Great teamwork, I will give you the biggest piece of meat.” Roselyn said to Leo, as she stroked his head and played with him, he was purring and enjoying his time, being spoiled, while the brothers stared at them, impressed by their ability to take down a 5 meters tall bear.
She always dreamed of being in another world and living another life, but definitely not this kind of life, where her life is always in danger and filled with handsome boys, she doesn't mind the handsome boys, but falling in love with one of them in another thing.
Now she is standing in front of him as he is on one knee, while her 'husband' is watching with a proud smile and her 'daughter' is holding hands with her lover, looking excited and happy.
"My phone..." Alex whispered, as her body dropped on the ground and she started seeing darkness all around here.
In her last moments of life, in her world, everything she could think of was her cat, because she was the only important thing to her heart, after her parents died a year ago, she had friends but she didn't think they will care much about her or her death.
The only sad thing about what happened is that she wasn't able to eat her ramen, like why couldn't she 'die' after eating and making her stomach happy, is that too much to ask? No, it's not, but what happened anyway? She can't feel anything.
A woman's whispers could be heard but she didn't their source, she believed it was either an angel, telling her she is walked in heave, or a demon telling her go stop dreaming and get in hell, but it.
The voice got louder and louder, making Alex wake up in reflex, looking around her in a daze, searching for the source of the voice.
Alex looked ahead of her and saw a beautiful young girl calling out for her, saying "second mother" over and over again, and when she saw her look up, she stopped calling the name and asked her: "Second mother, what happened to you? You suddenly stopped talking." the girl said to her.
'Why is she calling me second mother, last time I checked I didn't have children, nor did I volunteer to be someone's mother, where am I anyway? Wasn't I going to the convenience store? Why am I in the middle of a garden?' Alex thought looking around her.
The scenery is a beautiful garden in the middle of a grand, what he believed was, house yard, the sky is deep blue, their flowers everywhere, and she was sitting on a table, that have two tea cups, and plates full of sweets and patisseries.
