The door sound made her look up, her hand clenched on her dagger, A man in his twenties came out,tall but a little shorter than Joe wang,dark haired with gray eyes,smoky hit in his shirt and pants.
She swallow, staring at him fully, his gaze held hers as he walk up to her, she noted he was human, there was no way he could be something different with his clear orbs,He bow again for the baby in her hand.
"I'm Albert roget, you'll be staying with me" he straighten his pose.
" Daisy"she mutter, ignoring his gaze and stepping towards the house, her new home, her new hope of victory, this is a new Dawn she look at the baby in her arms... a new Dawn for her.. for hope.... and for the night creatures brutally killed in the war.. "for us... our resurrection" She hold hope hand and she noticed the dagger in her eyes glowing.
Seventeen years later...
A girl placed at the booth of a car slowly regains consciousness and grunt noting she was locked In the booth of a car, she thought it was nothing but a dream at first.
Since she was a quiet, peaceful girl who barely made a friend,so to her why'll she be kidnapped?what for?for a random? No, she doubt it, her mother isn't rich though they live a good life, in a good house and eat good food.
But that's it, nothing more, so why the hell was she kidnapped? mirage of thought cross her mind, she tried to get out herself but the car was on full speed and whoever was driving wasn't saying anything, she recalled her promise to be home before seven to her mother.
Heaving she decided to practice on herself today, closing her eyes she imagined herself out of the car and she was out on the street, realizing no one was looking which is good for her, she imagined herself back into the car, this time hoping to create a strong spell to take her home.... at least her door step.
"Yes, we've her boss"The girl froze when the person in the car spoke, she thought of following him them to find out what they were really planning on doing but a last thought of her mother made her close her eyes again, her mouth moving in great speed as she chant a spell and in a swift moment she was home,curled up on her blue couch.
Her room was interior were all in blue,starting from her beryl blue armchairs,baby blue bed head board,her nice blue soft teddies,her Casey blue blanket,her midnight blue wardrobe everything was all blue and gorgeous.
"In the bedroom, great!" she scoff at herself, she should have ended up in the front door, why her room?,she hurriedly walk to her wardrobe taking some dress out to change into but the door was flunged open stopping her.
"Hi Mom" she smile before her mother could ask any question,she dash to the bathroom.
" Hope"Daisy walk to the bathroom door "you're home?but I...did you .." she rambled,hope lift her head up,her eyes on her mother with black shinning hair,love shaped lips,a dark brow and beautiful milk skin to match,hope smirk.
"you dyed your hair mom"
Daisy flush "Don't try to change the subject" She walk up to hope taking the dress from her "Did you?"
Hope sigh"I did but it wasn't my fault,someone kidnapped me,and I didn't have any option,Dad told me to act with brain and I did"hope turn away from daisy,taking off her crop top.
Daisy heave not in relief but frustration staring at the seventeen years old girl,again she couldn't help but noticing how she looks like both may zhiang and Owen,She was beautiful no doubt,her hair folded to her waist due to the fact that once hope cuts the hair it grows back instantly.
Her sunkissed skin,curvy body,and eyes blue and bright with the dagger still illuminating in it, they were the only one who could see it even hope best friend si jie could not,daisy smile but amidst that there's worry tugging her heart,the fear she that held onto her existence since the day hope was placed in her arms.
"Your dad wouldn't like this and how many time will I tell you your powers could put you in danger"
" Mom, I'm a grown up, seventeen to be exact"
" Not eighteen"hope shrug at daisy word,and sit on the edge of the bathtub.
"How did I get this powers?you never tell me anything,I just know I've got this weird thing,dad said I'm still too young to know,and I do wonder maybe 65 is your version of maturity"
" You're complaining"
" I'm not,dad trains me from morning to night to be strong and so do you,I didn't ask why but I noted I Didn't go to ninja school"daisy roll her eyes,'this girl is just as stubborn as may zhiang'she thought.
There were thousand times, she'd open her mouth to talk,to tell hope everything but that promise she'd made lingering by would hit her full force,may zhiang had made it clear in the scroll written down that she would find out who she was by herself,but why does it seem to scare her.
Hope knew surprisingly that daisy wasn't her real mother, she'd looked at may zhiang picture and called out 'mom',she was happy she didn't have to lie,the burden wasn't there but the burden of her Powers and the secrets were still intact.
"Hope....your boyfriend came over,I wasn't home your dad told me" Daisy change the tone of her voice trying to lift the atmosphere.
"Darn, he's not my boyfriend,he isn't my type to be sincere and he lied to us all"
" I was just joking"Daisy wag her finger.
" Are you sure?I don't want to see that guy"
" He did came"Hope lifted face fall.
" Well.."she spread her hands out " Who cares...now to the real deal,I told you about th vacation right?"hope look at her expectantly.
" You're just a college student,you..."
"please mom" hope interrupted.
" Lunch is ready,get dressed your uncle is coming over"
" Please just this once"daisy shake her head knowing that once she gives in,hope won't follow the rules.
"Hope no" she utter sternly.
"Honey Bunches, why are you guys arguing again?" Albert walk in.
"Tell her I won't say yes"daisy stride to the room,Leaving the dejected hope,Albert crouch in front of her.
"Where's she going to?and why do I feel hope used her Powers again,I can feel it"
" Because she did"daisy said,hope groused " and now she wants to join her friend to go on a college trip"
"I don't find anything wrong with that" Albert interjected,hope face lit up .
" What???"Daisy glare at the man "She isn't going anywhere"She stomp out.
" You'll have to obey your mom little girl" he pat hope hair.
" I bet"she roll her eyes heavenward " I wonder why you two aren't married yet?" Albert stand up realizing hope is just trying to get on his nerves again. "you two look good together, can't you see?so why?"
" keep your mushy concern to yourself"Albert walk out,hope chuckle after him,she stare at the door,her life was great,her parents and uncle all doted on her so why does she have to impress anyone by going to the school trip.
"I need to make mom happy, I'm sorry college trip"hope stand up and amble to wear her dress her before locking the bathroom door.
***
Hope phone rang the minute she out on her blue gown in her room,she answer it and pick up her small watch given to her for protection and clasp it around her small wrist.
"Sir jie, I'm sorry for not calling you first" hope apologized to her one and only best friend.
"Apology accepted but where are you?you suddenly disappeared when you said you wanted to use the ladies room,did you know how worried I was?"
" Chill out, I'm sorry, something came up and I'd to hurry home"she sit on the bed " everyone is okay"she quickly added.
"hope you're lying"
"How do you know?" hope lift her brow.
"because I can tell,what really happened?truth" hope groan.
"Mom called" 'lies' " she said she suddenly felt weak"she lied again.
"Fine,I believe you,so have you packed your bags,bring your make up kit along"Hope fake a sob." What now?"
" No, I'm sorry"
" oh God,quit the fake sob"And the call ended,as disappointed as she is,she quietly pick up her phone,put on a smile and stride out to the dining area outside.
Joe wang glance at her instantly,standing up to hug her.
"Howdy uncle"
"Are you upset?" Joe wang pull out a chair for her,hope mutter thanks before sitting.
" I'm not gonna lie I feel super bad,I and so jie already planned..."
" To go on a college trip"he completed her words " And daisy said no"she made a small nod.
"There's nothing wrong with her going" Albert piped in.
" That's if she was normal,hope disappeared today what else will she do tomorrow"
" uncle I was kidnapped and worried about mom,my hands were tied"hope snap. " what could I have done?"she ask quietly.
" Behave like a normal person,what is that person knew who you really are?what is some other people saw you and now whoever kidnapped you for whatever reason it may be their curiosity is fueled, you've just aroused the person suspicions"
"I'm really sorry,it won't happen again"hope hold her fork and in a flash she lost consciousness.
"
"I can see the mistake I made those years ago,I kept asking myself how I could fall in love with that disgusting maniac" "Hey,it's not..""No,let me let it out,how dare she come into this place and talk to me about a stupid child?" "The child she clearly said wasn't mine,yang did she forget about everything or what?" She intertwined her hand with his "She is just here to torture me again" "I'm here with you baby,yeah you're right,she doesn't have the right to barge in here" "Really?" He pull her close pecking her cheeks. "Tell me baby" "I mean it and we're both going to fight her" Ned bit his lips and tug it with a cheeky smile. "Hey I'm not here for that" He tickle her and laughter filled the air releasing the tension in the once broody room, Ned carried her over his shoulder and ignore her struggling,he kick the door of his large room and drop her on the bed. The room is extremely large and bare but with enough furniture and
She looked up and the two girls smiley face hover on top of hers. "Great punishment for coming late" "I didn't" she push the girls. "This is stupid" "What? The correction?" "No"Si yang look at Hope noticing she isn't talking instead her eyes on the gate. "Hope" still her eyes were fixed in that position. "She's wondering how you came in without your car or the guards also noticed that" Si yang smile nervously praying Hope interfered but the girl eyes was still glued on the entrance. "I...I shu hui drove the car out...um back to the clinic to...to pick up one of my important patients" "You're stuttering" Si Jie roll her eyes. "We both were in the pool before you came,change into your bikini and join us" Happy her sister dropped the interrogation,she tug Hope arm. "Are you okay?" "Yes...oh,I was...Is that your man?" Si yang nodded. "Never mind,let's go" "If there's anything bothering your mind,you can tel
"Ned I want to be with you for now,will you come in?" "I have to be at the field marshal house but I'll come to pick up" He kiss her swiftly and help her alight from the car. "I love you honey" "Love you too,and please don't think much about her,think about me don't let me get jealous" "I'll surely do that" Si yang glance at the blue automobile driving towards them,Ned got out of the car and straighten his shirt,he walk to the driver seat and kiss Si yang again before waving to both her and Stuart. "Hey Si yang" "Hi Stuart,acting like you don't know me?" Si yang smile as Ned drove off and fix her gaze on Stuart. "Nah,just wanna tell you a little about Zoe,I'll be leaving immediately,I got a message from Jason" "Oh,so how about the Zoe? Even her name doesn't sound good,though she's beautiful" "Very,and she haven't changed,be...be careful,she's dangerous,if she can make that strong brother of mine to try to do away wit
Ned scoff at his brother stupidity"When I was your age I already knew what I want to be" "Duh,I forgot"Stuart said sarcastically,Si yang shake her head. "How about Yang?" He reach for the jam. "You know there are many ways people find themselves,being a doctor wasn't my dream,I wanted to be a writer,I'd write short stories and show them to my dad for more praises,I was happy showing off my skills but there is something that some people say that isn't really TRUE" "What?" Stuart sit up. "When a mother dies your dreams are shattered but mine was when dad died" Si yang smile brightly recalling when her dad called her his pride,she in her purple gown,him in his truck uniform,both dancing and singing,him reading her stories line to line,words to words not missing a bit,taking it like his lifetime job. Kissing her forehead,laughs filling the whole house,happiness brimming all around them. "I'm a doctor because of someone,I'm living someone else
"I'm sorry for whatever I said in the room,I know I shouldn't have said that and that I should accept you for who you are because a lot of women does...they accept their man wholly but Ned when you brought up the topic about kids,I couldn't help feeling scared..." "You finally thought about moving the relationship forward and trust me I'm happy but that didn't stop me from having those strange thoughts,what if I lose you so untimely Ned? I don't want that"Ned ignore her and walk to the kitchen,she followed and met him standing and staring at the fridge. "Ned" She hug him from behind. "Please don't hate me." "I can't and...I can't leave my job yang" He turn and wipe her tears,Si yang felt his words squeeze her throat. "I can do everything you want,I will but not this,I understand how you feel but I can't consider it,that job is my responsibility,why do you think I left my own country to be here?..." "I wanted to be able to live my dream,nothing ma
"Like I said earlier I'm sorry,there's nothing I can do to help,I introduced myself to you trying to tell you I'm not the one here last night,it's my colleague Chin ming" "So you guys work shift?" Nora nodded. "Oh nice, Nora when is your colleague going to be here?" "Tomorrow evening,we're four" Si yang bite her lips hard. "Are you okay?" "Yes,please what's the name of this hotel?" "King's Steward five star hotel" Si yang thank the woman and went back to the elevator,she stomp her feet on the ground and suddenly recalled something,she hurried back to the receptionist gasping. "Hi Nora" "Ma'am you're back" Nora said in surprise. "Yes,one more question" "Hold on a minute ma'am"Nora point at the checking out cue and she could see a lot of people waiting in line,she sigh and move out of the way. "Sorry for the delay" Nora address her again when there's no longer a cue and those that are left are with the other recept
