CHAPTER 4
I immediately slammed the door wide open to smell the fresh air and the cool breeze through my hair to calm me a little. The only thing was, it was as lifeless as death. Not a wind blew, not a single leaf would crack or make noise. EMPTY is the word for what it looks like... Empty...
Nobody was around, only the ants and grass looked alive. The houses were intact, the trees looked green and the sun was about to fall. I decided to walk down the road towards my school which was quite strange since school was the last place I wanted to spend my time in. Everything was strange anyway, so it didn't make any difference but something was calling me... That thing wanted me in that building for a reason or an other. I kept on walking down the street until I came facing the school's entrance gate. It looked quiet like the rest of the block. The gate squeaked every time I'd open it wider.
As I got closer to the entrance door, the grass around me would turn black and grow roots with thorns. Those tried to grab my legs but I reached the steps before they could. The door wasn't locked, which was quite odd since it was always closed, even during weekdays sometimes, so I entered.
“Come up...”
That voice again. The lockers were open with papers here and there, the class rooms were empty although the lesson on the black board seemed to be written recently and the clock above the exit door stopped working. I climbed up the stairs not knowing what was waiting for me. On my way up, I noticed a necklace lying on a step. It was silver, shaped into a Celtic form. I hesitated for a moment, asking myself if I should pick it up or not but I finally kept it in my pocket just in case. I took a peek outside to see if everything was the same as I left it.
“What happened...” I asked myself. It was already dark outside.
I continued my ascent and reaching the rooftop, I noticed that an other man was there, short around 5ft4 dressed in a black coat. He turned around as I could see his face. He was pale, very pale. His light brown eye were like two round on a while piece of paper. His hair was brown with a little bit of hazel. He smiled sympathetically.
“Freya... It's really you!”
Oh no, not an other one, I told myself. I was now at the point on believing that I was in a TV comedy show, filming everyday people, inventing scenes just to make fun of how seriously they take it. But no... it wasn't. I've noticed the man had guns hidden under his coat as I remembered the necklace.
“- Uhm... Sir, is THIS yours?”
I handed him out the jewelry which was in my back pocket.
“It's actually yours. I guess I just made it slip out of my pocket while going up.”
He came towards me to put it on me.
“-There you go.”
After putting it on, he looked at me and hugged me.
“- Oh Freya! I've missed you so much!”
He was hugging me so tight that I could not breath.
“- You...you... are chocking... me!” I said through short small breaths; he excused himself.
“- Well what did you expect after two years?!
- Two years? Whoa... You might be mistaking me for someone else. Even though there is nobody right now... sir.
- 'Sir'? What?? No... You haven't recovered yet?
- Recovered? I said with a confused look
- From...”
Before he could finish, an other voiced talked coming from my back.
“– What he means is, his name is Dimitri Von Hilpesberg and he is very please on meeting you once more.”
As I turned my back to see who was talking, I realized that he was really, really with his black hair tied back. He was as pale as Dimitri but had gray eyes. He smiled and bent over to give my hand a light kiss.
“-And I am Lucifer Von Hilpesberg. It's a pleasure to meet you again.”
He resembled Dimitri, well, they were brothers, but Lucifer looked older than him. I couldn't really determine his age; he looked about mid twenty seven, twenty eight but is so formal... Dimitri looked young as well but a few years younger than Lucifer. He acts like every eighteen year old but he looks about twenty one... It was truly confusing.
All I knew was that I wasn't alone. I was with these men... These strange men yet who look human enough... Or at least, that was what I thought.
