Chapter 2 - Strangers

Skyla Roshanne

"Hey princess, how are you? Please wake up now. You won't leave us again right? We've been searching for you the whole time, and now that you're here, it felt surreal. You're so near yet it seems that you're still out of our reach. Please wake up princess, mom and dad will be ecstatic if you do."

I heard a man's voice talking to me. His voice is full of pain, sadness and longing? But how come? I don't know him and he's calling me princess for pit's sake I am not a princess. Definitely not. I grew up in the orphanage until I decided to lead my own path and left the people who took care of me since I was young.

Who is he anyway? And mom and dad? Who is he talking about? Who are they?

I tried opening my eyes but still can't. I don't know how long I've been here but I can't seem to wake up. And I've been hearing a lot of voices lately, they are talking to me, but i can't understand them. I mean they are strangers to me but my heart seems to know them.

After some time, the man stopped talking, and I felt my face being caressed and felt a kiss in my forehead. After that there was silence again. I think the man left already because I heard the shutting of the door. After what happened earlier, silence consume me again before I was dragged again into darkness.
