All Chapters of The LOST girl: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

The ticking of the click made the room feel emptier than it was. The clunky ticks and tocks echoed around the circular hall, bouncing off sleek walls and plastic enclosures. Those plastic screens were nine inches thick but reflected like sleek polished glass. Whether that shield of plastic was designed to keep him inside or keep everyone else out had never been explained to Maika."You just sit and watch him," she had been told. That was the sum of her responsibilities. The entire explanation. "Sit in the outer ring. Use your enhanced focus. Don't take your eyes away from him for a second.""Him... Eigen."As they turned onto a glass-lined corridor she squinted. Harsh light shone through the panels of glass, reflecting directly into her retinas. She looked at the floor until the final approach, where the huge mechanical guards lined the walls. They never moved but Maika felt as if they watched. Of course, they were watching. But watching without seeing. The thought gave her chills, li

Chapter 3'How am I still alive?' Mika wondered.That question was her only focus. 'I was supposed to be dead by now. I didn't plan for this. I have no idea what to do past this point.'Kai turned on the porch lights and entered the apartment building, kicking the front door open with a hefty thud. Lights flickered in the hallway as they climbed the stairs and led her into the most unlikely room.Numerous display cases boasted relics of the old world in conditions she had up to then only dreamed were possible.They had everything. Mika's eyes scanned the relics, trying to identify them. "You have a music player?" she cried, falling to her knees. "What sort of music do you have?"Kai cocked his head to the side before raising an eyebrow and shrugging. "All types. What do you like?"A shadow fell over Mika, and she looked up to him looming over her. 'He's figured me out,' she thought. 'He's going to kill me now.'He smiled. "You don't have to look so scared.""I feel like I should b

Eigen sat in his seat, dying of boredom.It was always boring when Miaka went off on a mission. He wanted to follow her, but was it a good idea to leave the enclosure."Probably not," he muttered to himself. But he did not care.Not in the slightest."I'm off," he announced to the mechanical guards with a wide, terrifying grin.They mirrored him, staring back in horror as he stood, shaking off the wires and stale air as he went."You can't go," they were crying in union as he slipped through the net. The net designed to keep him in was all the use of a chocolate tea pot.He laughed at their cries as he took flight, flying away from their cries for his return."Please," they cried. "If you go we will be unprotected. WE ALL NEED YOU! We will die if you Goooooo!!!"He didn't even look back as they begged and pleaded."She needs me more," he muttered, focused only on his one true love. Her. The one. Maika.She was on her way to find the monster he dispised the most. Kai. His polar opposit

Miaka sat in the kitchen, an inch of ash dangling from her cigarette hanging from between her fingers. With each drag a new memory popped in and out of her brain.She turned to her side, shocked to see the grin of her so called souls-mate. He grinned maniachally.Stop trying to read my mind, she thought, amazed at his persistance."Why did you leave the enclosure and come here?" she asked, more to herself than to Eigen.He answered non the less."Because you did," he said, stealing her cigarette and taking a drag. "It was way too boring there without you.""But what about all the others?" she asked. "You were meant to stay back to protect them while I went off to save the world."To the last part she added air quotes. There was no point in pretending anymore. She was not the one. Not the main character. It had to be one of these powerful men.She stared left and right, taking in the scene. The birds, the bees and the humming of electricty as the kettle boiled well past full.She picke
