Chapter 2: Lost town

Chapter 2: Lost town

Forty-five minutes after my night shift In coffee shop I found myself leaning against the light post located ten meters away from my workplace, this place is not crowded anymore.

I sigh as I touch my wrist, I looked around to somehow ease my anxiety. This quiet place can't help me to ease the pain I'm feeling right now.

I remember Alexander the man who gave me a stressful day, he's the reason why I am overthinking again make my what if's.

My Eye color change? No Impossible.

What if I'm not human? No it can't be I got the physical body and characteristics of human does.

What if my death is nearly come that's why I'm changing.

No it can't be.

He is handsome but insane, He's making me insane too. He's nothing but an asshole.

I hope that our paths will never crossed again.

I flinch when I feel the vibration of my phone inside my pocket.

I sighed and picked it up from my right pocket. I clinched the strap of my bag when I saw my little sister's name flashing on the screen.

My little sister can't call me he even doesn't know to dial numbers

She only know how to play Minecraft and Roblox.

I tapped the green color indicating that I will answer her call.

"Hello?" A small voice said from the other line. I smiled weakly when I heard the voice of the little girl -- a daughter of Mr and Mrs Oliv -- My adoptive parents.

If I can change the fate and turn back to the past I will never come with them, my life in orphanage is much better.

"What do you need baby?" I said sweetly this little girl deserve a love. When they adopt me they have a 2 years old biological child they make me a babysitter.

"Go Home!" An authoritative voice commanded making my heart raced inside my chest and my knees is trembling also my hand no-- noo, -- I mean my whole body is trembling, Every minute my strength loses.

I took a deep breath to restrain my self. Without Any hisitant I press the red button indicating the call ended. He's one of the reason of my suffering He makes my life miserable as f**k.

I hold the light post beside me to support my self. And focus my attention to the dark part of the road where there is only one light post present , no one dares to walk in it surely they are afraid that someone will snatch their phones and wallets or worst someone will stabbed them that can lead them to death.

After five minutes of thinking I Convinced my self to go home and faced the monsters but my whole body shiver and froze for a moment when I see a shadow of a man holding his wand and compass it in the air I clearly see how he used it and how many times he make different colors of light above the wand.

Is he planning me to make blind?

I flinch a little because of the blinding light he made with his f*****g wand.

When I re open my eyes I shocked in disbelief when I see that there is nothing wand and nothing shadow, I shrugged maybe I'm hallucinating because of too much tiredness and I don't have any dinner before, I think I overused my self.

As in my plan I secure my bag and turn my gazed again to the place where I saw the shadow earlier but I don't see any trace of shadow either a wand, all I can see is the black color cat running quickly maybe the cat finding it's dinner.

I stopped to a twenty four hours convenience store. I planned to buy some Souper meals for my breakfast tomorrow however in the end I just buy some noodles since my budget for Souper meals is not enough.

I promised to myself that if ever I already hold my salary I will bought things I wanted as a prized to my self.

I ended up holding a 2 cup noodles and Cola this will be serve as my dinner and midnight snack since I will review whole midnight for tomorrow's exams. Actually Our teacher don't tell us about exams but I will prepare myself incase.

I gave value to education.

I proceed to cashier so that I can pay the things I get, I slowly put my things one by one in front of the cashier

"What will you use as a payment miss Credit card or cash?" The cashier calmly asked.

"I prefer Credit card miss since I don't have cash at this moment" I honestly stated.

The cashier motioned her hand to a credit card machine.

"Wait a second i will find it" I quickly responded

I went over to my things and find the pink notebook where I secretly hide my card. I hide it because of the monster named -- Paul Olive - which is my adoptive father I'm sure when he will find it he will gonna confiscate it and surely he will use it. He's a f*****g gambler reason why his business went bankrupt.

When I find it I go back to the cashier.

The cashier pressed the payment amount to the credit card machine. I quickly insert the card, the chip already interacts with machine and a few moment after the payment is finally sent.

"Do you have eco bag?" Cashier politely asked me.

I shook my head.

She put in the brown paper bag and handed it to me. I double checked if she put correct item and luckily it was all right.

"I like the color of your contact lens miss where did you buy it? " she said sweetly trying to make eye contact but I quickly avoid it.

"I don't have contact lens ma'am" I said honestly. What I didn't put contact lens In my eyes, I Don't even know how to use it. I awkwardly smile.

" So is that your real color? I'm now curious what's the color of the eyes of your parents, is your mother red then your dad is blue? and you're the outcome a red left eye and blue right eye? I like their genes" The cashier is now talkative as parrot.

I suddenly feel nervous of what she said.

What's the matter in my eye,?

Is there's something's wrong that bothering others?

What? Red eye and blue eye? maybe she's making jokes maybe it's their marketing strategy.

As I last look in the mirror the color of my eyes is hazel.

"Sadly..." I trailed as I pursed my lips, " I don't met my biological parents"

I tried to fake my smile.

I clinched my fist.

I gazed to the cashier as I utter those words I saw how her expression change from being curious to being guilty.

I quickly bid my goodbye to her when I pull the glass door of the convenience store. Our home is only twenty meters from here.

-

5 more modern houses before our home when I decided to stop and sit on the ground, This day is really exhausting

Am i mentally exhausted or physically exhausted?

I am physically exhausted because of the things I worked I blamed my self for that.

I am mentally exhausted because of the f*****g asshole named after the defender of men - - Alexander.

My senses back to it's normal when a blinding light hit me. Is god going to take me? Is this my end already? They say your end will finally come when your mission is over and the world don't need you anymore, I closed my eyes and remember the journey I ride. I am now fifteen years old turning sixteen next month but I think I can't celebrate anymore.

"Insane woman stand up you're not dead and I will not allow you to go to the after life" I heard a familiar voice of a guy, he's chuckling. I slowly open my right eye which is my dominant eye. I'm not dead? I feel disappointed with it.

I puzzled when I knew that the light earlier is not sign of my death it is from the car - - A LAMBORGHINI Huracan Spyder the owner of it is a seventeen year old guy standing in front of me with a huge smile in his lips.

He is a friend of mind way back in an orphanage, He tells me that I am new born baby when someone brought me In orphanage while he is two year old he told me that they're just playing in a playground with his sibling and cousins when someone kidnap him he can't yell because they put something on her mouth that makes him fall asleep, but when he awake he tried to escape and luckily his foot bring him to orphanage the person's that manage the orphanage try to ask him his address and his parent's but he doesn't know how to answer. And he spend his 1 decade in orphanage we became close friends but when he turn twelve years old finally his parents find him. His parents spend millions just to find their son. He found out that the people kidn*pped him is the rival of his dad on his business.

They kidn*pped the innocent kid since they know that the kid is the weakness of his dad.

The following years I spent in orphanage is boring since I lost my boy best friend

but my life became miserable when I live in the house of monsters.

After I moved out to the house of monsters . And after a month he found out that I already left the orphanage he find ways on how our path will crossed again he hired people to trace me he spend thousands using his own money.

"You don't have plan to stand up?" Raff sarcastically stated and make a 'tss' sound

"And who are you to told me? I don't even know you b***h!" I teased him I want him to see annoyed.

But seeing his face right now make me think he is now matured so far from the Raff I know way back in orphanage the low temper Raff.

I will surely miss that part of him

"You really changed" I proudly smiled that I witness the most low temper Raff before.

I Stand and face him I can see in his eyes the he pity on me he make eye contact with me but I avoid it I don't need his pity I'm not kid anymore shedding on someone's back.

"I'm going home, go to your home already it's too late to be in outside" I said in concerning voice.

When I see that he already walked back to his Lamborghini. I also turn my back and starts walking when someone hold my ankle. I don't turn my head maybe it's my imaginations again, this day really got into my nerves.

"Allison" A sweet voice murmured, He's voice is so calm and comforting. I feel guilty when I remember that I envy him before because he left me there in orphanage. I believe before that he's the only person who would never leave me but I'm wrong.

I Convinced my self multiple times that Raff doings is right because it's for own sake, he is kind he deserves the love of his parents and family but there's a part of me can't accept it. How about me?

Maybe I'm too selfish.

"Face me." He commanded but his voice is so calm. I follow what he ask me to do. Maybe I changed from being human to being robot because I'm like a robot following my superior

"Who f*****g did this to you?" He calmly asked but I can feel that deep inside he's burning. When I gazed to his fist he clench it.

"It's just accident.." I pause gasping for the word I will trailed "don't worry I'm not part of your responsibilities" I bitterly smiled.

"Come with me" His tone is already authoritative that make me flinch a little I tightened the grip on the strap of my bag.

As we exchange looks I can feel the awkward atmosphere between us. The cold wind embracing my skins that make me goosebumps.

I badly want to go home I don't expect he will come I don't need him.

He motioned his car and raised his brows at the same time.

"Hop in or I will make you" Still with his authoritative tone sending chills to my spines.

I don't notice that he already pressed the car key remote, I can't hide my amusement when the door of Lambo slowly open. He turned his gaze to me and motioned the car for me to hop in -- I did what he ask. When he see that I already set foot in his car he turn around and proceed to the driver's seat.

"Fasten your seatbelt woman" He said without bothering to look me.

When he started maneuvering his car a deep silence and heavy atmosphere enveloped us. When I lifted my head and turn my gaze on the road I can see high buildings he drive slowly giving me a music video vibes. I flinch when I remember that I call ended the monster earlier he will surely get mad with that. I can clearly imagine his looks -- a deadly looks when I return to the house.

"Speak.. Tell" a guy beside be suddenly ask while I'm in the middle of my imaginations.

That's introvert do when they're bored their minds is exploring things whether likely or unlikely to happened. Happiness of an introvert.

"What? what should I tell then?" I quickly responded confusion in my voice.

"Your life" He trailed and his voice soften.

"You already know me..." I trailed "Almost seventy five percent of my life you witness it. I live my damn life with you over years " I rolled my eyes I hoped he will not gonna see it. I silently laugh when I remember those days. I hope I can turn back in past and never be in the present anymore. I hoped I don't met those people that ruined my life.

He tightened his grip on the steering wheel I saw his nerves appear.

"How's school?" his voice soften, he's trying to make topic

"Still standing" I answered out of nowhere.

"Why would I expect a formal answer?" He whispered to himself.

"How's you aca..."

"When you ask me about my academics it's completely fine, I can assure that I can attend completers ceremony and step up to the next journey which is the senior high school"

I cut him off.

"When you need a hand, you can find me on f*******: or i********:" He casually said. I don't have a plan asking for someone to help me in my academics. I can handle it by myself without asking someone to help me.

"No need" I confidently declined his offer.

"You really changed a lot," He pause " I remember when you're in your elementary days you cried a river when I don't draw or make your project, You are not creative before unlike now." He tell while scratching his palm.

I looked away and busy myself enjoying the night view outside, I saw a group of kids playing and laughing my lips automatically form into smile The one girl holding her stick and she compasses it in the air while she murmured words and then she motioned the boy beside her, then the boy act Like a frog and then.. Then -- I don't know what happened next we already far away from them but I'm sure they ended up laughing and even holding their own stomach because of too much laugh.

I think the quote that I read in school is accurate

Laughter is the best medicine but when you laugh for no reason you need medicine

When we arrived to the high building I think it's condominium -- A high luxury condominium in front of us I never been here before.

He go out first and wait me outside since I'm checking my things.

But before i go out I see a book it's color already changed to brown -- I never see it before in bookstore or in libraries. Maybe it's rare.

A magical Portal to the lost town
