Coming back:
Luna and "Ken" stare at each other.
Cut the crap ~
"Ken's" anger reached its peak, he can't withstand Luna's gaze and her presence, walked hurriedly, and his long strides narrowed the gap between them. He grabbed her neck tightly, pushed her against the wall.
Her body was shivering as his large cold hands are choking her throat, she tried to shout for help, saw Ivy who was soaked in a cold sweat, and crossed her eyebrows in worry, but her voice refused to make a sound. "Ken" came closely-
"I will say this once again"
If not obey rules in my world, you are as good as dead.
"Understand"?
Luna wasn't able to react, as her whole body was frozen from shock, her body was trembling from fear, however, her tears never accepted to fall, maybe deep in her side, she thought her life is not worth to beg or not worth to cry anymore.
Luna observed him closely, his warm eyes turned into fierce, his warm appearance turned into demonic in a minute, a pleasant aura once surrounded him was gone.
She opened her eyes, swallowed and she tightly clutched her dress and asked what made you turn into the beast? Why do you want people to obey your rules and follow you? Are you doing this because you wanted power? Or do you feel alone with nobody beside you? Afraid to be alone?
"Luna bit her lower lip"
By looking into her eyes, the only feeling coursing through him was anger, he clenched his fist, as his fingers cracked can hear loudly, knitted his eyebrows, took a deep breath. Can't able to hit her because she found the true meaning and the pain hidden. Thrown her aside rashly and punched the wall couple of times, out of anger.
Done with your crap? Said "Ken" in feisty tone
This isn't any prank or a dream.
His bleeding fist stinks woken up the demon inside him.
Ivy felt "Ken's" eyes turn to her, fear flashing through her body, what she had done to deserve his glare?
He left the place, without a word.
The littles who all are surrounded Luna, given a hard time to her. They throw stones at her, few members used metal sticks, giving a mild blow to her stomach. Said every dog has to get the proper training to obey the master words.
The only thought running on her mind was, how someone could be this heartless and cruel to a stranger.
Luna who was covered in bloodstains, raised her eyes to Ivy as looked for her help. She was shocked to see her standing like a statue, not even moving her eyes from her wounded body- she stood silently.
"I am sorry Luna" Ivy murmured.
Luna replied while blinking her eyes and a faint smile appeared on her pale face. She was betrayed by the girl she thought of her as the first friend.
"Why? Why?"
She asked herself many times but did not find an answer. She can still recall how she was hopeless about her life, and the incidents occurring in her life continuously.
After a while!
Luna still lying on the ground unconsciously, everyone left. Ivy walked near to her, fell on her knees, light pants leaving from her lips, waking her up with her hands "Luna" "Luna" woke up.
"Cough-cough"
Luna opened her eyes and saw Ivy who sat near her in a teary face.
I am sorry Luna, Sorry Luna. Ivy keeps on repeating these words- Luna also repeats the words its okay, that's fine.
But Ivy was not stopping. When Luna waved her hand, Ivy calmed herself, and said, Luna, I don't understand what you are saying, because I can't hear, I am deaf. I barely managed to learn how to speak with one of the nun's help. Sorry to drag you here. If I don't lure you here, they said they will torture me more. Sorry Luna, I know I have chosen the wrong path said in her weak and teary voice.
Please accept my sorry?
Luna wanted to decline her, but she couldn't after listening to her story, she was not in a state to blame, just done because of her messy life. Luna was cracked deep inside her heart enough, yet she is a place to feel bad about others' life, and consoling them?
Luna gets up!
We need to hurry to the infirmary, a lovely nurse will be on duty today, and she is so kind, she will treat your wounds, get up said "Ivy", Unknowingly Ivy used her force to make Luna stand.
But, she gripped hard on her bruises. Luna, moaned in pain, but poor Ivy who can't hear her pain dragged her to the infirmary.
After a few minutes of walk:
Both Ivy and Luna reached to the infirmary, there she saw a woman in her blue dress, her long silky hair was waving for cold breeze like an ocean tide, she has a cute nose and delicate lips, her neckline was perfectly structured, sitting near to window with her headphones On, enjoying the music all alone and being happy in her world.
Wait- wait what am I thinking?
What am I?
Why am I being mesmerized by every beautiful thing I encounter in this orphanage?
Luna come back to your senses..! She shook her head.
In a minute she realized Ms.Chen, was already started treating her wounds
The whole room was filled with silence.
Hmm…! Nothing to worry about, minor injuries, you will recover in a few days and don't forget to take the prescription medics said Ms.Chen with a smiley face.
Ahem clearing her throat
Why do people are here different? Why they are treating me like an enemy? Luna asked Ms.Chen and she answered almost as if she was waiting for it to be asked.
Is this the question bothering you all the time?
Hm…Yes indeed, when they saw a new member here, they will do these kinds of stuff to scare them. But, they are not as evil as you imagine, just expressing themselves in another way said Ms.Chen with a smiling face.
Luna stared silently, who doesn't understand the meaning behind her words.
Isn't there more things to know for me?
It is a good idea, but instead of believing in what others show or what others speak, why not go and see and hear for herself? She sat on the chair while continuing her speech.
Yet so far it seems like I will adapt to this place naturally and find a.....
Luna paused, changed her words...
Ahem, I thought to start a good new life, but why do I feel the end when my story hasn't even started yet. Noticing the deep thinking face on Luna, Ms.Chen said
Well, rest assured, if it is you I believe you will find your path and create your own story.
How can you be so assured about me? You barely know me!
Hum—you can say it's my instincts.
Luna didn't have the chance to even begin to complete the puzzle of Ms. Chen's words, continued talking
Okay then bye- hope not to see you again Ms.Chen said and threw them out. (Indirectly she was tired to give answers more)
Luna and Ivy make their way out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noon ends and gives way to the evening
It's 4.00 Pm.
She hasn't had anything the whole day. She looks fragile, Ivy took Luna to Ms. Mary's room.
From here you have to go, I am in a hurry to go back to my dorm, it's time for attendance, said Ivy and left her all alone in front of Ms. Mary's room.
Hello! May I come in said Luna in a slow voice while knocking on the door?
Yes, come in Mary replied.
After looking at Luna's appearance Mary was in shock, what happened to you? Why are you in bandages, I heard from Ethel- that you are perfectly fine.
I fall from the slide in the afternoon said Luna lowering her head.
Mary looked at her with a complicated expression on her face. She sighed
She ordered the woman who is standing beside her in crossed arms. Show her dormitory and help her to fill the procedures, said Mary. She nodded back took Luna along with her.
My name is "Elena" first we will go to the administrator's office, where you need to submit some information or details about yourself.
They both walked into the room, saw a person sitting on the desk with a pile of papers on it.
Ahem Elena clears her throat
Mr. Albert – She is a new girl who joined our orphanage today said Elena pointing her finger towards Luna. H-hi sir Luna greeted him. He stared at her through the crescent moon shape spectacles he was wearing. Luna stepped back in fear and hide the back of Elena, still, she hasn't adjusted to their stares. She didn't have any idea why they are looking at her differently.
Albert greeted back in a bumpy stone.
After finishing the formalities and procedures, Luna and Elena make their way out. When they are leaving Luna turned back and observed Albert who is cleaning his hand with a sanitizer, and spitting it out around his desk. Luna didn't understand why he did that? Did he come across any ghost?
There is an old myth in history, if someone faces any bad omen or ghosts, if they spit out, it won't come near to them. For an instant, this foolish Luna thought that old man Albert can see supernatural things…!
