Chapter 23 - The search

I quickly checked for his house address, that is the only thing that I do not know about him, he needs some privacy too, right?

I saw it and wrote it on a piece of paper.

I closed my laptop and started charging it,with my new phone too.

I laid down and started thinking about my mom and grandma.

I can't wait to see them soon.

They would be very happy if they should learn about my resurrection.

It's a miracle, right?

I miss Lizzy too, she is already twenty and pregnant.

Ugh!

She is quite young,but she will make a good mom and I will be a god mom.

I miss the three of them and I know they miss me too.

Mom and grandma must be very desvated.

Oh!

I will be twenty soon too.

Next week is my birthday.

I hope mom and grandma are not thinking about it.

I just couldn't focus on thinking about one person or thing.

I have to distract myself from over-thinking, before I will die again.

The moment I started thinking about grandma, I will start thinking about her general health.

The moment I start thinking about mom, I will start thinking about Mike and his secret family.

The moment I start thinking about Lizzy, I will start about her baby's health. I do not want her baby to suffer because of me.

I am fine.

I wished none of them would think about me and focus on living their lives,at least, for now.

Damn!

I was still thinking, even to the extent of not being aware of when a tear rolled down my cheek.

I wiped out the tear and looked around the room in search of the tv remote.

I found it and put it on the tv and saw what I was not expecting to see.

What I never expected.

What I never thought of.

I changed the channel and it was the same head line of news that was being held.

Damn.

A MISSING CORPSE.

And they are referring to me.

I decided to listen to one.

"There has been unrest since yesterday,as the family of a deceased nineteen year old British-American girl have been declared missing." Said the newscaster.

"There is camera footage of how the young lady miraculously came back to life and escaped through the ceiling." She added.

"We do not know if it was a miracle or a coincidence or a mistake from the doctors that declared her dead, since she has been in coma before being declared dead." The newscaster added.

I started sweating furiously, as I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing.

I fucking died.

"The police and scientists in the U.K have declared her wanted, as she is believed to be an immortal being, who can help others from dying too."

What the fuck?

No.

No.

No.

This is not happening.

I do not want to be locked inside a fucking lab for the rest of my life.

No, this can't be happening.

"Her family have been handed over to the police for questioning and testing too, as it is believed that they may be immortal too." She continued.

No.

"Here are pictures of the missing corpse girl and her best friend, who has been missing since morning. Please kindly dial one of the numbers on your screen if you come across any of the two girls and you will be generously rewarded for it." She added.

I do not want to hear anything anymore, so I quickly grabbed the remote control and switched off the tv.

I hope none of the staff in the hotel recognizes me.

I shall check out of the hotel, first thing tomorrow morning.

My phone alarm rang when it was six in the morning.

I had to leave the hotel premises.

Just one last time before leaving, I wanted to enjoy what the hotel got to offer, her services.

I had my bath and ordered my morning meal.

After eating, I packed my clothes, phone, laptop and money on the luggage I bought yesterday.

Those are the only properties I had for now.

Then I sat in the bed to put on my shoes. I then decided to check the news.

I was the talk of town.

Wow.

Am popular, but in a bad way.

There was no time to think.

U packed my hair into a pigtail and rolled it up.

I wore a face mask, shade, face cap, and a hoodie.

I then went to the reception and checked out successfully.

'Thank God.'

'No one recognized me.'

I wanted to trek since I currently do not have a destination,but I changed my mind. I entered a taxi instead.

But then, one came to mind.

I know an abandoned house in the woods that is not too far from my church.

I have entered once,so I can enter again.

I have to hide, I have to save myself for now, that's what mom and grandma would want me to do.

I am the target.

I will be sent to an unknown scientific lab,once I get caught.

The picture of me that was on the tv screen was the one that I was wearing makeup.

No one would be able to recognize me.

"We have arrived at your destination ma'am." Said the driver,as he turned to collect his money.

"Oh!" He exclaimed.

"It's you." He said.

"You are the girl from the day before yesterday." He laughed softly and then continued." It's nice meeting you again." He added.

"You remember me?" I asked surprisingly.

"Yes I do."

"I was not sure at first,when you entered. Thanks for that day. Because of your good deed,my granddaughter didn't die."

He said to me, smiling. He was very happy.

"You are welcome." I said and made an attempt to open the door.

"No, I will do that for you." He said.

"No, I can do it my…." I was saying to him, but he interrupted by saying,

"My granddaughter recognized you when she saw you on the tv screen. You are damn popular now." He said to me,

"And who is your grandkid?" I asked.

"Sarah." He replied to me, smiling.

"Oh!" I exclaimed.

"Sarah. Princess Sarah?" I asked him.

"Yes." He said and nodded at the same time.

"She has been talking about you since yesterday. Thanks for looking out for her in that day. You look surprised. What's it?

He asked me and was giving me that stare that grandma gives me anytime I come to her for help.

"I thought her father owns a company." I said to him,as I was a bit surprised.

"Oh. That's her stepfather. My original or should I say my first son in law has died even before Sarah was born." He said and laughed softly.

"She later married that asshole when Sarah was two. He used to be a soldier, but he quit and build his own company." He added.

"He doesn't like Sarah, that's why she is always with me whenever my daughter is with her new husband." He added.

"Am sorry for your lose." I whispered.

"Thank you. If you want to see her, I will come pick you up tomorrow after work. How about that?" He asked.

"Yes,thank you." I made another attempt to open the door again,but he held my wrist and asked.

"Where are you going?" He asked, concerned.

I just stared at him. I do not know if I can trust him,so I can't tell him.

"Oh."

"Don't worry dear, you can trust me. I knew your grandfather,we were pals. Tell me where you are going." He assured me.

"To the woods, close to the church." I said to him.

"The woods?"

"Why?"

"There's a house in there. An abandoned house. I have been there before." I told him.

"Uh. Actually, it's I and my best friend." I added.

"Your grandfather and I built it when we were young. I used to be his personal assistant."

"What a coincidence." I said and laughed softly.

"Let's go." He said and turned on the engine.

We got to the house and we entered.

It was still the same, nothing changed.

It was very much still in a good condition,but it was very dusty, but it will do for now.

I hope Lizzy comes here.

She is in trouble because of me, she must be with Hale. I just hope she is fine.

The old man assisted me in wiping the house in order to remove the dust.

"Thank you sir." I said to him when we were done.

"You are welcome dear." He sighed very deeply and added. "Do not worry about seeing me off. I will bring supplies to you."

I waved him good bye ad he walked away from the house.

I returned to the room and arranged to my preference.

The good thing is it has electricity, I do not know how. I forgot to ask him.

Maybe it was because I didn't ask.

I didn't get his name too. I will ask him when next he visits.
