By Athena B.

First story that i ever made

------------------------------

Aish. I`m so tired.

Its been a long day at this freaking funeral and people kept on staring at me, giving me those stupid words of comfort. Hello people, as if i give a damn. Why would i need your words of comfort when i`m the one that killed my uncle. Yes, i killed my uncle, so don`t be shock when i`m cursing him, in my mind at least. I need to maintain my image as the innocent young girl who lost all of her family members. Boo-hoo for me....yeah right....

Anyway, i`m here standing by the sidelines, holding my white teddy bear, watching my uncle`s casket being reeled down the Earth. And for once in my life i am happy seeing a person being buried. He deserves it and i wish he would rot in hell. Wait, i don't need to wish for that to happen anymore. I`m pretty sure his already there, burning by the hands of Lucifer. What he did destroyed my once so perfect life and I`m very happy that i killed him with my own hands.

"Goodbye uncle" i said as sweetly as possible without me throwing up. People just stared at me, pitying this innocent,silent little girl.

"Poor kid, i wonder who will take care of her?" i heard a person saying
"Yeah. I heard that child became so silent ever since the death of her family. She just wouldn't utter a word, even to her own uncle" replied the other. What a stupid thing to say. What person in the right mind would do that? I mean, would you talk to the person accountable of the death of your family? No right!? Stupid...

I stared at the casket being deposited with soil until it is no longer visible. I just kept on staring, listening to the words of pity people have been saying. And i´m telling you that i´m sick of it. That`s the only thing that i´ve been hearing the whole month. Damn you people! Would you stop it? I think my ears are getting an infection.

I sat down after the casket was gone from my sight. I kept on listening to the people around me. They have been talking and crying about the death of a good man. Good man my ass. If i were to choose between crying and talking about him, i would do neither. I would rather dance on his grave, naked if i have to. It beats talking about a worthless man like him.

I continued to listen to their pathetic  conversation and commented, in my mind of course, at every sentence they said.

"He was a good man, an angel you might say."  Ptchh...maybe to you but to me his an angel of light, otherwise known as satan.
"I have known him for a while and he was indeed an unselfish person"  Correction, you meant selfish person
"Life is really unfair, why did god take a good man like him?" God!? Did he even know him? Maybe he did but he idolized Lucifer more.


"Milady, we need to go" Martinus, my butler, snapped me out from my thoughts.
"Ok" i replied

We slowly made our way to the car. I yawned. I`m really tired and i want to lay in bed and sleep the whole day away. If only life were that easy. I still need to meet people i don`t know. They say they need to talk to me regarding the death of my uncle. Aish. How bothersome.

The whole ride to the house was silent and i`m glad that it is. Ever since I gained this ability of mine, i was no longer privileged with the word "silence". I can hear everything around me, even if the sound was made 5 miles away. People might say that its a super power, but to me its super annoying. I can`t  get  decent sleep, can`t read a book in silence and i`m tired with the noises around me.

We arrived at the house earlier than i thought. I guess i was too preoccupied with my thoughts that i did not noticed my surroundings. I went out of the car and walked towards the direction of my house. I guess the only thing good about the death of my family is that i have all the money that i can spend. I went upstairs and laid in bed, hoping i can rest even for a while. Alas, i was in vain. I heard a plate touch the ground and our housekeeper screaming as if there's no tomorrow. Aish, remind me to make my room sound proof next time.

Should i go downstairs?  i asked myself
Yes!
 No!
 Why?
Cuz im lazy!
Just go!
I said no!

I decided to go downstairs rather than wasting my time debating to myself. I lazily stood up and walked towards the door. I went for the stairs and heard voices that were unknown to me. Why Didn't i noticed them? i should have known that they were coming through the sounds of their footsteps.

"Where is the girl?" said the stranger. "Tell us where she is. If you don't then you will be imprisoned due to defying the government" stated the other. Could it be that they have known that i killed my uncle? No it cant be, i did it without a single trace of evidence. Or could there be a witness?

"I'm here" i said, as i was coming down the stairs. I need to find out their reason why they came looking for me. I need to know every single detail for me to execute a plan."Who are you? and why are you looking for me?" i asked sweetly, looking straight into their eyes.There was nothing in their eyes except for disgust.

"Ah...Miss von Draisse, were sorry for barging rudely in your house but were here to pick you up?" Pick me up? What do they want from me? No, more importantly where do they want to take me?
"Where are we going?" i asked

"Please don't ask questions, just come with us. We will give you an hour to pack your belongings. Don't worry,we were given orders not to hurt you." He added

I nodded my head in agreement. I went upstairs and started to pack. What do they want? How did they learn about me? Is there a place for people like me? There are lots of question going through my mind right now and i need a person to answer it. A person who knew about the this new world that i have set foot on.

I went downstairs carrying my bags and there i saw the two strangers sitting leisurely on the white couch. They stood up as they saw me.

We went outside as they led me to a black car. We were silent the whole time and it got quieter as we drove to a place i don't know. Questions started to bounce in my mind again, like where would they take me? who are these people? and so on and so forth. I closed my eyes and placed those thoughts at the farthest part of my mind. i would soon get my answers as i get to that place. I slowly drifted to sleep and visited dreamland.

------------------------------

"Wake up, were here" a person patted my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes and i can say that i  have slept for a long time since its already dark outside. I stepped outside the car and found myself at the airport. The airport? What are we doing here?

We made our way towards the entrance and went through the usual process. We sat down on one of the chairs and again, silence.

The seconds ticked. It turned to minutes and those minutes turned to hours. I am tired of waiting and the curiosity is killing me.

"Your plane is here" said the stranger with sunglasses.
"Here's your plane ticket and enrollment forms. Were sorry but we cannot accompany you towards your destination. Have a nice and safe flight" after saying that they just left. I was left there, speechless.

Aish. Damn you people! You barged into my house and just left me here?! I hope you rot in hell! If you die, i would really dance at your own funeral! Damn you! Damn, Damn Damn.  Ok, i`m done cursing. They really got into my nerves. Aish.

I looked at the papers that were handed to me. It read HUMAN ADVANCEMENT and DEVELOPMENT in EXCELLENCE STUDIES. I`ve never heard of this school before. Is it new? What does this school specialized in? Why would they want me to enroll here?

"Passengers of Flight A555 towards (where is HADES Located?) please board the plane now" I heard the lady behind intercom say. Looks like i`m leaving.
