Chapter 3
- We talked about a lot of this and I felt more alive.
- This happiness deep inside me felt so real. She laughed at me and she even called me a novice and she almost called me a dumb.
- Well, it's not my fault this is the first time I will be making friends.
- "Bye Kathy." "Bye." I said waving back at her.
- I smiled entering the house.
- Who is she? "Mum asked."
- "My new friend." I said almost yelling in happiness.
- Mum, why are you still having this look on your face?
- "She quickly covers it with a smile." What do you think? She asked innocently.
- This worries me.
- Kathy, you have to stay indoors you can't go outside okay?
- Mum! Why! Why do I have to stay indoors all my life?
- I'm not going to stay indoors! I have a friend already. I got to see how this world looks and now you want me indoors?
- Am not staying indoors!
- Kathy, you have to!
- Mum I'm not! There is no way I am staying indoors not again!
- Kathy you have to for your safety.
- "Mum I think you are keeping things from me" just say the truth! Tell me what I have to know.
- Just tell me everything!
- "She only stares at me for some time and walks out on me".
- Mum.. you have to give me some good reasons before I do what you want me to do.
- I ran off to my new room .
- Straight to the bed and cried myself to sleep.
- ***
- Kathy, don't leave the house.
- "Mum said running off to the car."
- Ok mum.
- There is no way I am staying indoors! No way!
- I went to my room to have a hot bath.
- After the hot bath.
- I saw a figure sitting on my bed.
- I was wrapping a towel on my body.
- Who are you? Who the hell are you! "I panic when the person won't answer and my heart starts beating faster."
- The person stood up and turned his face to look at me.
- *****
- My heart skipped. The guy I saw the other day.
- I thought mum said I would be safe here and now he is in my room.
- "He was glaring at me with his dangerous face." You know what I mean right? His whole face was hard, no smile , his face looked dangerous.
- He took some steps toward me. I hold the towel on my body.
- Every step he took made my heart skip.
- The next thing was that darkness took over me.
- Writer's p.o.v
- The same guy came to her.
- Did they think they could run from him? They can't.
- Because he would always know where they were.
- Kathy's hair, it is until they cut it that was when he won't be able to know where they were.
- He can scent her hair from afar.
- He went to her room with anger. He was always angry.
- He can't wait to avenge his parents death. He has waited till now.
- But the thing is he doesn't know that Kathy has powers.
- He doesn't know that. He planned to make her life a living hell.
- He was going to kill her slowly.
- "Firstly, by making her restless.. secondly by making her feel unsafe he will torment her in her dream and physically."
- He will show her himself and then do some dangerous things to her to make her afraid of him and then disappear.
- He went to her room as he planned and saw her coming out of the bathroom.
- "He was backing her and turned to face her."
- Her body was a good thing to look at and her hair made her look somehow.
- But that didn't move him. He took some step towards her.
- He was planning to play with her hair and slap her roughly.
- And then teleport away.
- But before he gets to her the little ant has fainted.
- Kathy p.o.v
- I open my eyes to see myself in another place.
- Where am I? I turned to look at my side and Kira was combing her hair backing me.
- You are awake. "What am I doing here?"
- I found you outside your house in the back yard and you were lying on the ground with your eyes closed.
- I thought you were sleeping but when I called you you weren't responding I even shook you the same thing that was when I realized you fainted.
- And I took you here.
- "I sat up, the memory of what happen to me came flashing on my head, so I fainted before he get to me"
- Kathy what a scared rat you are.
- Kira, you said you saw me on the ground right?
- Yes, you were lying on the ground with that blue and white hair.
- I even thought you were some fairies. "She chuckled"
- But what happened to you? Were you sick or something?
- Kathy it is a bit complicated you won't understand.
- She came and sat on the bed.
- Does it have anything to do with your hair?
- I think yes.
- Tell me will you?
- I was about to tell her when my instinct told me not to.
- I can't tell her.. I don't trust her yet and am not even sure what the guy wants.
- And the idiot left me outside our house. Why can't he just leave me in my room?
- He did it on purpose because he wants me inside the sun.
- And one thing I know was that the guy doesn't like me. He is dangerous and wants to harm me one way or the other.
- But I am not going to allow that!
- Kathy, will you go out with me this evening?
- Hmm.. where are you going?
- To a party, one of my classmate birthday party.
- Will you come with me?
- Where? Where is the party taking place?
- We take my car. I know the place, ok?
- But the thing is my mum won't allow me to go outside of that house.
- "Then you sneak out of the house." She said in a funny way pointing to my house through her window"
- Not me.
- "We." I said, pouting my lip.
- Stop doing that. Doing what?
- Pouting your lips. "Why?."
- Too bad I am not a guy I would have eaten your lips.
- "Eat my lips?" I asked, getting scared already. Don't tell me Kira is that guy again disguising himself with magic.
- Just like what I watched in movies.
- "No, I meant kiss you"
- Huh. "I smiled."
- So, since you said we. Will your mom allow me in your house?
- I don't think so.
- Is she wicked or something? Nope my mum is not.
- But there is a reason for that, am going to tell you at the right time okay?
- She nodded her head in a yes way.
- Kira, you sneak in and we both sneak out. "I said laughing."
- Ok ! She raise her hand up
- What's that? "I asked."
- High five. High five?
- Are you an alien? No!
- You are one.
- High five my hand, like this. "She told me how to do it."
- Wow... That was good. "I exclaimed."
- Let's high five again. No!
- Please Kira. No Kathy
- "Please." I said, pouting my lips at her.
- That's not going to move me, I'm not a guy.
- You can do that to them.
- "Please"
- "No you are an alien." She said running out of the room.
- *****
- We get to have some fun.
- I learnt that she is an only child but her mum is pregnant .
- She said her dad traveled with her mum, leaving her alone.
- She is a great cook too.
- She cooks while I bake the cakes.
- After eating and watching films we eat the cake.
- Around noon she told me her boyfriend is going to come.
- I was not surprised though I knew what she meant. I watched that in movies too.
- When? "I asked her."
- In the next one hour.
- Her boyfriend came in the next one hour and she introduced me to him.
- "He is not bad,'' I whisper to Kira." Yes he is not.
- He is going to be at the party also.
- Kira I gotta go okay?
- Why? Don't tell me because of my boyfriend.
- No.. that's not it I just feel like going.
- Ok since you want to.
- "Bye," she said .
- Can I have a second with you? She blinked ok.
- Hope you guys have not have sex.
- "Nope we didn't but I planned to do on his birthday"
- I thought if you did, I would have spank you.
- Now I have to go to that lonely house.
- Wow.. I can't wait to go to the party and get to see people get to mingle with them.
- See things .
- Mum. Thought that I was going to stay indoors.
- But I am not.. she thought this place is safe but it's not.
- I won't tell her that I saw the guy because if I do she would want to relocate.
- And I don't want to leave Kira.
- ********
- Later in the evening
- Kathy p.o.v
- Mum was back with dad.
- But I cared less. All I wanted to do was to get out and go to the party.
- Part of me was guilty, all that mum wanted was my safety.
- At last Kira came through the door breathing heavily.
- She told me how she entered the wrong room and that it was my dad's room.
- I saw him kissing your mum and I had to sneak past them.
- Gosh it was not easy.
- What am I going to wear to the party? "Don't worry I have it set with the shoes."
- I got them when Jake took me out today.
- We both sneak outside through the window this time around.
- Kira showed me the clothes she bought.
- She was putting on the blue colour while I was wearing green.
- "The cloth was in the same style but different in color."
- She applied some make-up on my face and on hers.
- Kira, what about my hair? "I asked."
- "Don't worry I got it."
- She packed my hair and it took her some time because my hair was so long.
- "They cover it with a wig."
- Now you look horrible.
- Huh? Why?
- I was only joking, you still look beautiful but more beautiful with your alien hair.
- We were now set for the party.
- We both enter her car and off we go.
- ****
- Kira is this it? "I asked her when I saw the white mansion with light all over it."
- Yes. We both enter the mansion and my mouth stays open.
- You better close your mouth.
- Huh? Did I open it?
- Yes.
- Hi .. ladies.
- A guy walked up to us. Kira, what about Jake?
- "I asked her to ignore the guy."
- I don't know where he is.. "she said eyes searching him"
- Hi.. "I frowned at the guy."
- What is it?
- "Found him." she giggled.
- Are you going to be okay by yourself or will you follow me?
- "She is going to be okay by herself." The strange guy said.
- "I shot him a deadly glare."
- Kira I will... the loud music didn't allow her to hear me.
- Kira, I will go with you. "I said."
- The strange guy smirked and I had this feeling that it was the dangerous guy.
- But the more I look at him the more he seems like another guy.
- Because this one doesn't look like him.
- What's your name?
- Kahlid.
- The dangerous guy has black thick hair and green eyes.
- But this one hair is brown and his eyes blue.
- Suddenly his appearance changed to that of the dangerous guy.
- Jeez... Am dead!
- What do you want! "I yelled."
