THE RE-AWAKENING OF THE FORGOTTEN

Chapter Three: Strange Store

She moved closer to it and in excitement she quickly brought out her camera to take a photograph of it.

To cut short her excitement, Kendra walked up to where she was, giving her an unfriendly gaze like one that is ready for a fight, as he walked around the sculpture.

Speechless, Lisa was already returning a brave look. As his usual attitude, he attempted to bully her emotions.

“Excited, you finally made it here, I guess?," He asked, glaring and walking around her continuously.

“What's that s**t?”, looking at her legs, “you look so in composed, I think you need a fashion icon to put you through on that”, He said. “I know you must have heard it countless times also that you're an asshole?”, he frowned and went away after informing her that the headmistress is already looking for her.

She stood there for some seconds, mustered all the strength and courage within her, as she has vowed never to allow anyone or situation ruined her day.

A day she had waited for all these years like a princess patiently waiting for her prince charming.

She courageously ran back to the tent where others were and sat close to the head mistress.

“Hey, where are you coming from”, the headmistress queried.

“Am sorry, I just went for a little walk around, You know this is my first time here?”, she responded.

“Yeah, you also know you don't know your way around her?, so you shouldn't be sneaking out from my presence”, the headmistress replied. They both smiled at each other.

It was time for them to be ushered into the auditorium as the event was about starting. The host announcing the kick-start of the event as people made their way into the auditorium.

Lisa, already feeling sad, gradually putting on a worn outlook as the hope of seeing her dad watch her performance was gradually falling apart.

Daddy please you have to be here, you have to come cheer me up, she whispered slowly in sadness.

The headmistress, seeing that she has become extremely moody, tried to revamped happiness in her.

Her phone rings, in excitement she quickly picked up the call. It was her dad.

“Hello baby, daddy just called to inform you that, unfortunately…" right then, Lisa was already curious to know whether her dad made it or not, “Daddy is here with you at Orange County Convention Center”

She screamed aloud, and was noticed by fellow students. Her headmistress who saw the happiness in her smiled, “go, go meet your dad baby girl”, the headmistress instructed.

She ran to where her dad was, they met and exchange pleasantries. The events finally started and all went inside to witness it.

Different awards were awarded to winners in their various categories for their remarkable contribution and art of excellence.

“The final category on our list tonight is, Best article of the globe ", the host announced.

Presently, Lisa was already nervous, she looked at her headmistress who smiled and said to her, “go make us proud and bring home that award, you know we deserve it”.

The host called out the various schools nominated for that category and their representative. They all went up stage. Lisa could see her father from the stand, who was cheering her up.

Each school gave out their performance and after much voting from the audience, the result ended in a tie between two schools, including Trinity High School. It was now left for the judges to cast votes to produce a winner.

Hurray! Hurray!! Hurray!!!

Echoed all in the auditorium as Trinity High School was pronounced by the host winner of the 'Best Article of the Globe' in the 24th International Talent Unleash. Lisa broke down in tears.

Massive celebration could be heard in and outside the center as all celebrated Lisa. She had just given her school the first ever prestigious award.

Lisa ran down the stage and with joy all over her went to where her dad was sitting and jumped on him.

She screamed aloud, “Daddy, we did it”, while still hugging him. She can't wait to receive all promises her father made to her.

'A trip to the Bahamas and a Ferrari SP40 all to myself', she echoed to herself.

Mr. Molten and his daughter set out on their way back home after the event at about 11pm.

They kept discussing the event while enjoying a nice ride back home. Lisa persuaded her dad for them to visit a grocery store to purchase candy before heading back home.

Mr. Molten, who is already delighted with his daughter, granted her request, and they headed for a nearby grocery store.

At last, they found one, “Daddy I think that's a grocery store over there”, she said pointing at a*****e that looked like it's still open for business.

Arriving in the place, Mr. Molten parked by, the both of them came down and headed towards the store. The place was empty but still open for business.

Not comfortable with the look of things inside the store, Mr. Molten held his daughter by the hand and called out, “Is anybody here”. No response was given.

“Is anybody here”, he called out a second time and still got no response.

They became terrified as they walked around the store if they could at least find someone.

They saw a post on the wall that reads, 'I told you, you would rather not be here'. This intensifies their fear.

Moving further around the store, they saw another post with a safe beneath it. The post reads, 'Collect whatever you need and drop your payment in here'

This made them relieved a bit, Lisa picked up a packet of candy and Mr. Molten dropped the pay inside the safe. They immediately headed for the exit.

On their way out, Lisa saw a blood like substance at a corner of the store, immediately she drew her dad's attention to it,“Dad, look over there, that's blood on the floor. Let's go check it out, someone may be hurt and require some help”, she persuaded.
