VEILED 2

It was last week , my mum decided that we should go hunting in the woods since it's been a long time ,since we had a good time together .my mum has had been busy for the last four years without even realizing it. Initially, I was reluctant, but I decided to make the best of this opportunity with my mom.I almost felt off, something drag down my leg what could that be? "Something shining almost blinded my eye. There, I saw a small, beautiful, shiny black box staring at me, out of curiosity i opened it but it turned out to be just a small piece of paper. Caramel! Caramel! I heard my mum calling, but I was determined to find out what the paper contained. The drive back home was long, and my mind couldn't shake off thoughts of the box. Who would leave such a fancy box in a secluded forest? With just a piece of paper inside, what could possibly be written on it? ?."There is something strange about the box; it kept whispering something I couldn't understand. What type of box talks? Well, let's see what could possibly be written. there was something written that I didn't understand." (01100011 01100001 01110010 01100001 01101101 01100101 01101100 :( 1509) , What could this possibly mean? "What could 'it mean? Mum was calling as she headed to the nursing home for a night shift. It was already past seven, and I have a party to attend. However, I need to figure out the true meaning of the message. I decided to kill two birds with one stone – take the paper to the party. Of course, no one would know I took it from the box, right?" It wasn't easy to locate Mariah at the party. Mariah has been my best friend since grade six, crazy and a real weirdo. Her parents were so wealthy, their house was like a castle, with lots of beautiful rooms and gardens. Mariah lived like a princess. I do envy her a lot and sometimes feel we should switch places, though I had no idea what her Dad does in particular. 'Why is your Dad always traveling?' I asked Mariah. She said her Dad owns a lot of business, which makes him pretty occupied." "The party was so noisy and crowded. I'm not a party freak; I wouldn't have come if Mariah hadn't insisted. I laid down against a carved stone by the pool. I wasn't really comfortable as I took a glance at the paper before someone snatched it out of my hand. It was Josh, my ex-boyfriend. He kept laughing and telling me I'm insane, asking, 'What are you doing with this paper? Aren't these binary numbers?' 'Give me that!' i demanded. I took it back forcefully. Josh had no idea what I've been through since I realized he was cheating with my friend Ella. I trusted him so much, gave him everything, and he chose to cheat on me, not only that he cheated but with my friend." I left the party angrily for the fact that I couldn't locate Mariah and Josh out of nowhere snatches my paper. Mariah kept calling, I can't pick her call, by the way am home already is of no use, I was upset and worried, I just wanted to to know what was on that paper. "I woke up sweating and confused. I could hear my mum opening the door; she was already back. 'Are you okay, darling?' she asked. 'Yes, Mum, I am okay.' 'Are you sure? You don't look okay.' Of course, I wasn't okay; I had the same dream thrice repeatedly, a very frightening dream. I kept seeing a man covered in blood asking me to follow him to Ashland if I wanted to know what was written concerning me. 'Concerning me? Like what could possibly be written concerning me? And where the hell is Ashland? I've never heard of that place before. "I think there is really something strange about this box, but first, I need to know what was written. Josh mentioned something yesterday; maybe I should go see him. He might help me interpret the writing. I had to ask Mariah to help me talk to Josh because my pride wouldn't let me. School was on a public break, and I was going to meet Mariah at the school cafeteria; then we would proceed to Josh's house. Josh was on his video game when we came to him. He had always been serious with things like this than he was with his books, and he had always asked me for help during exams; he is such a lazy bratt." "Yes, I got it! Now I can listen to you two. He kept us waiting for more than twenty minutes without altering a word, as if we were some kind of wanderers. 'I need your help, Josh.' 'My help?' Josh laughed. 'The caramel I know would never ask for my help. Well, let me have the paper. I know this is binary, but I am no good with binary, so I would have to use my system to interpret this,' he said. I watched him as he typed all those binary numbers into the system. It reminded me of how we used to be together, how everything used to be so good. I was so much in love with him. I kept staring at his fingers as they typed; those fingers used to go through my breast and my thighs. 'No! No!' Caught up in thoughts, I didn't even realize what was happening. A man appeared on the screen, laughing at all of us. This can't be. It was the same man from my dream last night; his face was still covered in blood..." This was the man I saw in my dream last night, he kept laughing and laughing, calling and calling my name, Caramel! Caramel! daughter of Ashland.. Caramel! Caramel..Come with me! come to your destiny!…...
