Chapter 6: Steps Away
Artemis,
It is by dawn that I was studded with a loud bang on my room's door. In shock, I hurriedly grabbed my blanket ang covered my body up to my neck. My eyes are wide open, beaming to the view of light on a bit of space from the door way.
I saw shadows.
I shriveled with yet another loud banging on the door. I almost lost my control and screamed but I was fast to cover my mouth. I sat up right, heart beats are running as if I was watching my horse on a race.
"Ms. Barlue!"
A woman screamed out of her lungs. I was shocked but was relieved that no man was trying to get his way on me.

I said and sat on one of the wooden chairs inside my house. We are here in the kitchen. We were having breakfast when this bad omen arrived!"What should I do?" I asked him with full belief that he would say something other than what he actually uttered."Seriously?" I asked and slammed my left hand on top of the table, I felt a bit numb but I didn't care.

Even though I am not that tall, my head don’t have a chance to hit the doorway, I still lowered my head as I enter the train.I walked pass the aisle of vacant chairs while looking at the numbers on top of them. Looking at a piece of paper that I am holding on my right hand, I searched for my seat.“Number twenty two.” I whispered to myself as I looked up and finally reaching my seat.

I don’t know if it’s just me but this lady right here is a bit rude. She looks at me from head to toe as if she’s judging me.
