He extended closer to her and all she did was running away, he didn't understand this, was he dreaming or it was indeed happening? And his heart ached from the terrified eyes his own mum gave him.
.....
He somehow felt like an imbecile for pressing the necklace's button but he had already done it and nothing he could do to remediate his actions but here he was stuck on the ground looking at his mum who had already stood afar. He felt speechless and powerless but determined he was so, he spoke with difficulty.
"Mum!" He hesitated a bit "Am I a monster?!" He added with trembling hands.
Silence encircled the room even after his questions, his mother still looked terrified and didn't even show a sign of uneasiness. Meanwhile the two women who were just next to her spoke fearlessly.
"Listen kid, this is not a place for you," One with blond hair in her mid-age spoke.
"Your mum is still in chock, if I may request you to kindly go back home and come back later, little one," The second one looking younger added.
Justin was still in shock and didn't understand, it was as if his brain was going anti-clockwise. His hands and legs trembled and he was unable to utter any single word. He sat helplessly on the ground, he had never felt this ridiculous and fragile since his childhood but what could he do? Than to feel the violate hit of rejection from his late mother.
He still didn't understand why this necklace could access dead people, he felt puzzled when he thought about it but now all that was insignificant! All he was interested to know was why his mother acted that way towards him.
"Instead of plernishing, stand and ask your damn question!," He heard a voice in his head but looked left and right and saw no one talking. Could it be his imagination? He didn't know...Whatever that was, he didn't really mind, all he was sure of was that it was right.
He decided to stand and the fear in him disappeared.
"Listen you two mistresses, am not a kid nor a little thing. I am Justin Acker! The only heir to the Great Ackers so, treat me accordingly. And if my name is too hard for you to pronounce, then call me gentle man...Hope it's clear on your side," He exclaimed with arrogance.
