Strawberry Lavender

Book I - Chapter 9

They sigh as they took a deep breathe. They decide to keep this a secret to anyone. They know that they didn’t kidnap the little girl. It was the girl who came to them. They look at each other against their better judgement. And they saw that the two little boys were getting along with the little girl. Since, the two boys try their best to calm the little girl down. And it worked for a while.

Few days have passed. The little girl felt much better. Her bruises heals overtime. She starts to become better. She smiles a lot. And laugh at anything the two little boys says. Even though it wasn’t funny. One of the little boy felt an attraction towards her. There was an unexplained questions nagging at her. Not knowing what her connection was to one of the little boy. Not knowing his name.

She look at him. All she saw was fireworks around them. It’s like the world stop for only a few seconds. Was this love at first sight? Did she starts to have feelings for him without knowing it? Or was this just her mind playing tricks? Or was this the doing of the moon goddess? No one knows.

Unknown POV

I found her at last. It’s going that this family took care of her. Even though she didn’t go back to her biological parents. I know she was being abused. It’s good she found HIM too. They are bonding very nicely. This will change the course of what will happened in the near future. Since; if I don’t make them together then I won’t be born.

I have to make it happen. Not after every obstacle they make. Someone was trying to make them not together. or tries to kill the girl. In spite of jealousy. Hopefully this is one’s true love. So that maybe he could break the curse place on her. It will not hurt her. But it will make her lonely forever.

I could tell there will be alot of hardship. Even the people that claim to be this girl’s friend. They will make it like it’s her fault. When in reality; it’s there’s. Which made it harder. Since her parents would physically abuse her in front of her.

They do it for their amusement. And her so called friends didn’t care. Unless she give them what she wanted. I sigh. I need her to become confident and beautiful. That’s why if I become her friend. I could help her to open up. And most of her help her raise up. So no one will bully her.

For now; I will have to do something about it. I don’t want her to die this way. I can’t believe I have to do this. I have to separate her into two. One as an ordinary human. And her other half that has THAT.

I know her life will be miserable. But it’s the only way for her to live a normal life. For her to experience everything that humans does. These two will meet when they least expected it. After that everything was a blur.

Days goes by so fast in a blink of an. Meanwhile; on the other side of across of the golden bridge. The two married couple and their son woke up. They were unaware of things. They thought their daughter were in the basement like always. But they never put her there. Then a flash of images appeared in their mind.

They start to become frantic. They remembered that they beat up their daughter. They left her bleeding to death in the living room. Not knowing what their son did to their daughter. They couldn’t find the body of their daughter. They wanted to know if she die or still alive. If she was alive then they could beat her up again. However; the little boy was happy that his little sister is gone. Not knowing what really happened.

They didn’t report to the police that their child was missing. Because; if they did; then the police will know what they did to the little girl. And they didn’t want to go to jail. So they planned what they have to do. They didn’t want to go to jail. For this reason, they make sure their daughter keep it a secret. And not tell anyone about it.

No one ever seen their daughter anymore. So they wonder if they killed her. Not after the other days they saw the little girl. The same one that post on social media about a missing child. This give them an idea. They will try to pretend to care in front of public. They didn’t want anyone to know what they did. They knew what they did was wrong. They knew this was child abuse. But they didn’t care.

They went across the Golden Gate Bridge. The old man had to drive in the car while his wife and son is in it. They drove all the way to the city of San Leandro, California 94579. They hope to find more information. This was the first time seeing this city. They haven’t step to any place. Beside the Philippines. They stay close to each other. Since, they gather any information about their daughter. They will be more happy if they know that their daughter die. So they don’t be in jail because of it.

They didn’t know that there will be karma for this kind of behavior. They had no choice. They had only one picture of their daughter. Seconds passed. Minutes have passed. No one ever heard nor see her. Then, they stop at one place. There they saw someone. Someone who might have some lead to it. They were whispering here and there. And then they have heard what they have said.

“ Psst! Have you heard? There is this beautiful little girl. She have attracted everyone by her beauty. There was no one that has that hair color “. A women with a bewildered demeanor spoke. The person in front of women look at her friend with skeptical look. She shake her head. “ I have seen it with my two eyes. There’s this beautiful girl with passionate hair color with a tint of purple. It’s like I’m seeing a lavender flower “. Her friend continue to speak.

The two married couple acts normal. The little boy; on the other hand; he could tell who these people were referring to. He went to the two women. Like it’s not a big deal. “ That’s my little sister you’re talking about. Do you know where she went “. The little boy talk to them in a cute kiddy voice. The women was naive and doesn’t know what’s going on was gushing over it. They saw a cute and sweet boy. They didn’t see the other two adult hearing what they say. Nor see that they had an evil smirk.

“ Is she really your sister? She doesn’t look exactly like you “. The second women spoke for the first time. She try not to be mean to the little boy. The boy only nodded to her. Even though his mind says he doesn’t like his little sister one bit. He want to be the only child in the family. He also didn’t want her to be alive. Because; he’s afraid that he would be going to jail for that reason only. The boy force a smile.

The boy run up to his parents. The women watch the boy’s action. The two adults came over with the boy. They introduce themselves as this boy’s mother and father. At the same time; they also show picture of what their daughter look like as proof. The two women was shocked. “ Well you guys have a beautiful daughter. We are pretty sure she will become famous. And give you good luck “. The first one says to them.
