Emily's point of view:
It was already a whole month, I can't totally recognize myself. The way I talk, walk, speak, dress up, and even eat - isn't the same anymore.
It's kind of reminds me of who I was in a while - in a long time while. It's a life that I hate to think about since I believe it's not going to be back ever again. All I know now is that I have no one but myself, and if I want to survive, I need to be a fighter.
Today actually I was a day off from Violette's lessons, so I decided to spend the day only at home. Not that I've had any other choice. I don't have friends, and I never had one. When we moved from I used to actually think that someone was my friend when I was young. The truth is that he never was. I've tried to reach him several times when I was young, but his family never agreed to let me in - they quietly believe that I'm not at their level. The thing that hurt me the most was that all these years, and he never tried even once to look for me.
Lost in my thoughts I was when - while lost at the view of my boring roof until I heard a knock, someone was knocking at my door.
Well, that's weird... I have no relative that knows where I am, no friend, as I said before. I tip on my toes, trying not to make any sound, then I look at the door cat's eye to face Daniel's face. God! What is he doing here and now?
I went back to my room, still not making any sound. I took a glance in the mirror to make sure I was looking fine. I wasn't looking bad at all - I was wearing a v neck t-shirt with shorts. Still, I let my hair down, which suits me better than when it's up.
While fixing myself, I heard the door knocking for a second time, so I hurried to open it. Though I knew it was Daniel, the moment I've opened the door I felt shocked by his marvelous sight.
" Are you going to keep staring, or will you let me in?"
It was only then when I noticed that I was looking at him in none stop, my cheeks heated up out of nervousness.
" Yeah! Come in..." I invited him into my living room.
The look on his face as he stepped inside of the apartment I was renting. Of course, what sort of impression he might have. Well, I care less about what he thinks about my place. I love it and I work hard to afford it.
" You live in here?" He asked as if it wasn't possible for any creature to live in such a place.
With a confidant smile on my face, I answered him. " I do live in here, and I love it. It's beautiful, small, and suits me well."
" I do doubt that you like it," He stated. " After all, this whole place is smaller even than the room you used to have."
It was indeed a truth. The whole apartment is smaller than the room I grew up in, but this was not the thing that shocks me.
The thing was - how could he know about such a thing when no one knows who I was and how I used to be living.
" Who are you?" I asked him, and he reacted as if he wasn't expecting to get such a calm answer.
" You're not even denying it... Weird!" He says not caring to answer my question.
" No need to deny the obvious. It all makes sense right now. The way you looked at me that day when we first met says you do recognize who actually I am. Still, I don't remember seeing you anywhere. So, who are you? And what do you want from me?" I concluded out of all the past actions that were passing through my sight.
Now that it all was set up, I was waiting only for what he had in his pocket. I mean, still not have forgotten about his promise. He promised me to change my life for the better and I'm up to it. What it ever it takes...
Well, I expected a story from him. Instead, all I received were pictures. He had thrown a bunch of pictures to me, pictures that I thought they were gone a while ago.
Then, memories from one of these days I was trying hard to bury runs into my sight. It was the day when my mother stumps out of her room shouting and screaming that it was all gone. That we will never go back the same, and she got it right.
I'm still remembering how she decided on burning all our stuff from the old house. My father wasn't home at that time - not that he could've stopped her if he was home.
All I could've done back then was to watch her as trying my best not to cry before I joined her. I went running to my room. I collect all the stuff I've brought with me from our old house. Then I joined to the burning stuff in the backyard of our new place.
I stand there watching the few Disney princesses dress I was having, along with Mr. fluffy, and pictures same as the one Daniel brought with him today, burning into ashes.
It was then when I became an adult while my mother was the child. I get closer to her crying figure, then I gave her a back hug as I told her while doing the only thing I'm good at - faking a smile.
" It's okay, mom, those are just materials - they can come and go. We still have each other, and it's more than enough."
It was only that day when I came to notice that I started growing, even when I was still thirteen years.
Now, I'm before all those pictures, the same pictures that were burned into ashes. They were all pictures of me when I was young. I took each and every picture between my hands. It wasn't the same as when I was young. I couldn't stop myself from crying.
I didn't get it right at that time, I thought that what we lost was only materials. The truth was that we were all gone lose because of what was gone.
Then one of the pictures came to my sight, one of my birthdays' pictures. I took the picture slightly between my hands, then I kept looking while trying to figure out what was happening.
Of course, I would find the picture a bit funny if I wasn't able to read between lines. One of the boys that were by my side was Ethen, the only friend I've ever had.
The smile on his face shows how much he used to care about me. His blue ocean eyes were full of joy. Unlike the other boy, he always hated me, and the hatred in his eyes was clear that even the fake smile on his face couldn't hide it.
His blond short hair, green forest eyes, and red cherry lips do remind me of someone. The same person standing by my side.
Emily's point of view:After the rain, there is a rainbow...Well, the rain that rained on my life brought nothing but a storm. A storm that destroyed everything I used to have. By running away, I thought that I was safe from this storm.Not until a drop from that followed me to where I was hiding. Daniel, the kid in the picture is the same Daniel Kight in front of my sight.He wasn't looking the same as what I do remember. Of course, when I left he was a boy - now he's a man.I gather all sorts of power I'm having, then I stand to face the devil that standing before of my sight before I pushed him away." What do you want?" I asked him while looking deep into his eyes, and he simply says without breaking his eye contact with me." I'm here as an old friend, to help you..." I didn't wait for him to finish what he was saying before I snapped at him." You and friend are to words that I can't accept u
Emily's point of view:The present timePreviously from the first chapter." I don't care about what she has done or was about to do, all I care about is what you're here for." After he was done speaking, I only nod my head, not beating to add anything else since I know that everything I would say would only get him mad." The interview would mean nothing. I've already arranged for you to be accepted. All you have to do is to make sure not to get kicked out. This would be our last and only interaction together in here. Make sure you don't get yourself into trouble..."This was all he says before the elevator's door was opened.............I followed to where he was going until we reached one office, then wi
Emily's point of view:When I reached home, and I got to say - my home sweet home. The first I've done was to take a cold shower to refresh my body. The water running out of the shower landing on my body did not less than to help me relax, as it gave me that sort of being alive after a sort of exhausting day.The day was a bit intense, seeing the way I was treated by Daniel, but everything eventually ended up in a fine way since I got the job without even trying - and the most important thing is that I did it without causing any trouble.I actually was informed that I would get it easily, especially that Daniel convinced the previous P.A to leave as he provided her with a better job. I don't what could be the better job that could've beat being part of " La source de beauté". Anyway, it's her loss.The thing is that I had to keep at the job as longest as I could be which is a bit hard. First, because I don't know how's going to be
Emily's point of view: Well, my act to gather myself ended up being a failure as he seemed to notice that I was checking him. I tried my best to understand what he was talking about as I focused on the last sentence he started. " ... so I decided to say hello!" Then he extended his hand, showing me a pie dish. " What's this?" I asked him and he started laughing. " As I said before, I saw you early this morning going out - and I learn that you're my new neighbor. My name is Patrick, and I live right next to you, that exact door." He pointed with his head to the door. "I was just thinking to say Hy, and I brought thin with me." I didn't know what to say or to do. I mean, should I just say thanks and move on by closing my door, or that would be rude? I shall probably invite him to drink something. But if I did, Daniel would get mad at me. Well, he would get mad only if he knows that it won't happen. " It's such a lovely gesture from you, Patrick! My name is Emily, and I'm pleased
Emily's point of view:I was setting on the floor with crossed legs while trying to cover my ears using my hands only. I kept that way from about ten minutes until he was over. I stood up hard on my as the silence consumed.Well, not for too long since he decided to finally speak." Just put in mind that I still could destroy you the same way I created you." This was all he said before he left.As I was alone, I started crying on none stop. How did I even end up loving such a hateful man? The same question started playing inside of my mind, not giving me even one mommet of rest.The answer is simple; he wasn't always such a cruel man. There were those times where he showed me kin
Ethen's point of view:The sound of the alarm ringing passes through my ears, informing me that another day has just started. It is funny how the sound was the only thing left to remind me that life goes on, which was something I forgot about the day I lost her.I've lost her I was too weak to be the man I had to be back then, and fight for her. I was too weak to stand against them all and to never let her feel that she's week. I was too weak to have her back when she needed me the most by her side.The moment she left, leaving no trace behind her, I felt that part of my soul was gone with her. I've tried hard to search for her, but I never succeeded in finding her. She was gone - once and for all.I buried myself in my work land trying to
Emily's point of view:I've spent hours in the archives room thinking about what happened today. I can't believe that I've just met Ethen.He changed a lot compared to what I do remember about him. He was just a kid when I last saw him, and now he is a man. You know, the type of men you only see on tv.His black raven hair gives him that vibe of a celebrity. He is indeed a celebrity. His blue ocean eyes look like some expensive jowls designed to fit his very handsome face, the bridge of his nose was created to link his eyes with his perfect lips.Everything about him was heavenly made, even his voice. His voice was able to send shivers down my body, lost in my thoughts as I was when Jenny decided to speak." Already whipped?""Hah?" I sort of knowing what she was meaning. Still, I didn't know what I shall say to her." You should consider yourself lucky! Mr.Night hates when people approached him eve in a nice way, so how about th
Emily's point of view:" Where are you taking me?" I asked Ethen Knight who was dragging me out toward his car. As expected from the knights, I received no answer. The whole situation kind of gave me a sort of deja vu. Daniel never answered the same. I was always following to wherever he was dragging me. For a while I felt like sick from being dragged to wherever other wants to drag me, the reason why I decided to protest. Still, I didn't.I'm here for a reason, and I will do whatever it takes to avenge the people causing my mother's death, and if by smiling to the devil, I get a step toward what I'm aiming for, then I'm ready to pull a smiley mask, not just to fake a smile.I decided to test my luck by asking the same question in a different way." Mr. Knight! I believe that as any other human being, I deserve to know to where I am I heading with you."For a while, I expected that my question would annoy him, yet it didn't. In som
