Her.

Chapter 3

Celeste Huxley’s POV

After I went to school, I went directly to my room.

“Baby, there’s someone who wants to play with you,” Mom said.

“I don’t want to, Mom. I’ll just stay in my room for a while,” I replied.

I took out my lunch box and opened it. I left some food for Calix. I placed the sandwich near the bed.

Seconds later, there’s a hand who quickly took it which surprised me and at the same time made me chuckle.

“Hello?” No one answered.

“Helllooo?” No response

I thought of a plan to make the monster come out. I tied the sandwich and placed it near the bed. I saw a hand slowly taking it so I pulled the sandwich further but he was still trying to get it.

“Gotchaa!” I said, which surprised him.

“s**t!” He said, pissed.

“I just want to be your friend.”

“Hey, Kid! I don’t have time for you”

“Do you want me to help you bring back your memories?” Words that caught his attention.

“How can I remember my past?” He seriously asked.

“Don’t you remember anything aside from your name?”

“Hmm...People. I saw a different person. And room when I’m glancing at the top of the bed,”

“Who are they and how did you get in there?”

“I don’t know them and I don’t know how I got in here.”

“And look at your clothes. It’s so formal.”

“I don’t know why.”

“What year were you born?”

“Year?”

“Yes, look it’s already November 10, 20**,” I said and pointed to the calendar.

“Fif…..Fifteen… 1540!”

“Huh?”

“Yeah, 1540. I saw a calendar that year,”

Wow, that was a long time. Is it in your bed?”

“No. It was the house of the former owner of this bed.”

“You’ve been in bed since then?” I was surprised.

“I wonder how old you are?”

“I don’t have any idea,” Calix said with disappointment.

Since that day, he has always talked to me. I taught him things that he didn’t know.

“Wait, I thought of something to do,” I said while we were playing with snakes and ladders.

“What is it?”

“Let’s take a picture together,” I said, then got the camera.

After that. I sat beside him and clicked the camera. “Eh? You don’t have a reflection on camera?” I pouted.

“What’s that thing?”

“It’s a camera. When you click it you’ll see yourself on the screen,”

“Ah, but it doesn’t work for me.”

“What?”

“I’ll draw you using a pencil. I’m not really good at it, but I’ll try.”

________________________

I try to draw him every night. It’s one of the things that makes me busy. One day, my Mom suddenly entered my room.

“Hide, Calix!”

“Are you talking to someone here?”

“No Mom,”

“Why don’t you try to go out? There’s someone who wants to play with you,”

“I don’t want to, Mom. I’m fine here,”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, Mom!” Then I smiled at her.

“Calix, go out now. My mom isn’t around anymore,” Then he got out of bed.

“Ah, I have an idea. Why don’t you come with me to school?”

“I can’t go far from this bed.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Do you think I’ll stay here if I can go anywhere?”

“Yeah, right,” I sadly said.
