Her sharp sea blue eyes scanned the area alertly. She looked to her left and then to the right before her legs moved like that of lightening. She ran for an incredibly long period of time before her legs finally gave in so she decided to get a little rest by the side walk. She stayed there for a while gazing at the potholed roads with a disappointed look. It was getting quite late and the potholes were barely visible, any reckless driver would be sorry they had used this road as a route.Mr Crocker had died this way–she thought."A-ha!, gotch ya!." Xander Miler, a 5'9 feet tall boy, quite amazing for his age, shouted, pointing his index finger at her with an unbelievable wide grin showcasing his set of missing tooths."Fine. You win, but only a little." Ericka Wood. Flashed him a knowing look before stingily tearing out a little piece of her bread.Xander outstretched his hand and quickly collected the little piece of bread before hurriedly running to the other side of the road."Tsk

I've been tryna reach ya, but you ain't picking, any problem?.]—Tony.Ericka ran her finger across the message. She had met Tony two years ago. He liked her and she liked him so they started dating.Tony was not from a very rich background but he wasn't from a poor one either, you could say he was financially stable. Once, he had proposed to her but she rejected it. Back then she had wanted to focus on her studies. So later on, Tony proposed for the second time and she immediately accepted.

Just saw the missed calls.]She lied and by now Tony had figured there wa

"That's enough Ericka. Escort me to the garden."Grandpa Hart said and Ericka nodded before he outstreched his left hand, placing her palm lovingly in his, his right gripping his aid stick tightly. The fruitful garden was lit up brightly by the afternoon sun. Grandpa Hart led Ericka to a golden like seat placed in the middle of the garden."So dear, tell me about yourself."Ericka smiled slightly."My name is Ericka, i'm twenty four. I'm an orphan, I lost my parents at the age of five and...I guess that's all."Grandpa Hart laughed slightly and shook his head."No dear, that's not what I meant.

Hobbies?.Come to think of it, she had none. The only thing she loved doing was cooking."I guess my hobby is cooking?." She said, more of to herself than to grandpa Hart."Cooking...Kate loved cooking.

She tugged at her hair so tight that some fell out but it was not even half of the pain she felt right now.She was so confused, she had no idea of what to do anymore. At that moment, a text came into her phone. Thinking it was from Tony, she ignored it but another text came in. Slightly frustrated, she picked up the phone and found it was from her best friend Freya.[Hi Ricka, What's up?]—Freya.[Why aren't you replying?, I can clearly see your mobile data is on.]—Freya.Ericka sighed. She had totally forgotten to contact Freya because of everything happening.[I'm so sorry...][You better be(￣^￣). By the way,i'll be returning tomorrow.]—Freya.[Really?.

Once inside, she looked at Ericka with highly arched brows."Ricka.."Ericka sighed before looking at Freya, her eyes filled with different emotions. She held Freya's palms before explaining everything to her in detail. Freya gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. Tears running down her cheeks."Oh Ricka...why didn't you tell me about this?. I had no idea Mrs Catherine was cable of doing such.."Ericka sniffed a little."I did not want to bother yo-"Freya suddenly enveloped her in a tight hug."Don't ever say that!.

"Let her be and please do excuse me."
