Brad got up from his bed and pulled the door handle to reveal a blonde woman who had big framed glares on. Her hair was tied into a ponytail. She had a clutch secured in her left hand and was wearing a huge ring on her right hand. She was wearing a dark-ash colored pencil skirt topped with a bottle-green full-sleeved shirt. She wore dark-green nail polish, which was so unlike her. Her black pencil heels increased her height. Brad's jaws fell open as he stared agape. At last he exclaimed, "Wow, Mom. That's brilliant. I couldn't even recognize you."
His mother gave him a smile and said in a strong Polish accent, "So, boy, are you ready?" Brad was stunned again as he never knew that his mom could pull off that accent. He shook his head and said sluggishly, "Ah, yes. Yeah… Let's go." He went out of the door without even taking his bag. After a few steps, he returned back to take those things. He went downstairs.
Olympia saw this scene and smiled. Suddenly, she felt a gaze. Stunned, she looked ahead and saw Brad's mom staring at the place she was standing at with a penetrative gaze. 'I am fully capable of disguising myself. She won't be able to see me. Why is it that I feel that she can see me somehow.' Various thoughts ran through her mind, and when she looked at her again, she saw that she was staring straight at the painting hanging on the wall. Something about her gaze unsettled Olympia. As she was mulling over it, she saw Amelia going downstairs. She brushed off the thoughts and chased after the duo.
She saw Stephan still sitting in the living room reading newspapers. Being in this house for only a day, she understood a lot about the workings in this world. She knew that Stephan was the Mayor of this city. It was like his Master, a king of that place. She was curious about this new world. Since, Brad is attached to this world, she needs to know the ins and outs of everything here. She was accompanying Brad for another reason, i.e. to know everything related to this world. It is near impossible to know by staying in her allocated space. Also, that place is too boring for her without Deablo.
The thought of Deablo made her scrunch her beautiful brows. She felt helpless. Seeing Brad and Amelia boarding the car, she fastened her pace and immediately reached there and entered the car at the same moment the car door closed.
"Whoa! That was a close call." Olympia muttered under her breath. She looked straight at the rear view mirror. She couldn't see herself. She titled from side to side, but still couldn't see herself. She raised herself a bit and shifted a little towards Amelia to look at the mirror from that angle. Suddenly, she stiffened as she was very close to Amelia and she seemed to have felt it too. She looked at the place she was sitting in puzzlement.
"What happened mom?"
"Nothing. I seemed to have felt something against my legs, that's all."
Brad looked straight at Olympia and then said, "Oh! That must be because, I was thinking of sleeping on your lap. So, you felt my thoughts. Hehe." Brad was sure that his excuse was completely unbelievable. So, he smiled at his mom.
"You and your nonsense. Anyway, come here." Brad face palmed himself. He dug his own grave. He glared at Olympia, but couldn't do anything, so shifted a little towards her and Olympia got up from her position and went to sit beside the driver. Her agile body allowed her to sit there comfortably, her legs crossed. But it did not last long and gave her a heart attack.
So many cars were coming their way, will they crash? She couldn't sit comfortably there. She wanted to poke the driver to drive slower, but couldn't. She saw the cars zooming past them. She breathed a sigh of relief, when she saw another car coming their way. The driver was stoic-faced as usual. She couldn't understand, why he showed no signs of fear. Her heart came to her hands. She forcefully stopped the urge to smack the driver at the back of his head.
It was nearly November, but the passengers felt warm. Brad knew the reason, so he looked towards Olympia and saw her sitting on the front seat hugging her knees. He closed her eyes and asked in his mind, "What happened?"
"Master, you better change the driver tomorrow."
"What happened?"
"He doesn't know how to drive. What if he causes all of us to die?"
Brad laughed at her and said, "He is a reliable driver, and won't cause accident. Don't worry. It has always been like this. Nothing will happen. Okay? I'm here." He consoled her through their consciousness.
