Her Lilac Eyes

Ch.5|Slapped Me

It was almost the third week since I last saw her. Like the other times,I went to bet,but this time,I dont know how,but I fell asleep peacefully.
I dont know how many hours have passed by but I woke up. I saw that the sun almost was visible on the sky.

There is it,another day without her.

I got up,and went to the bathroom to wash my face,brush my teeth , and change from my pajamas.

I wanted to see if dad was home,or if he left early like he does. So I got out of my room and walked down to the kitchen to grab something to eat, usually when he left early, he would leave me the breakfast on the counter.

I opened the door ,and I saw someone. It wasn't my dad.. but a woman. She wore a white short dress,and her hair was in a bun. I could see that she had somewhat of a brownish red color.

But what is she doing here?

"Who are you? And what do you do in my house?" I got closer to the woman and I asked her.

"I'm waiting for my husband. Who are YOU?" She was angry,I could see her raging eyes.

"I'm Mako. And I think you entered the wrong apartment."

She turned her face to me.
I was shocked. She had the same lilac eyes that mesmerized me from when I was a little baby but she didn't have her wings.

"EVA!" I shouted so happily.

She looked at me with a surprised face.

"How do you know my name?" Her eyebrow arose,thinking.

"What a silly question. Eva ,how could I forget your name?" I thought she was joking but she wasn't.

"I think you mistook me." She turned away from me.

"No. I didn't. Now please stop with these games,I dont like them." I tried to talk to her but she didn't listen.

"Kids these days."

She rolled her eyes and looked away.
I walked behind her and hugged her.
Then I felt the cold tiles on my back.

It all came back to me.

I hugged her and... she slapped me...

But..why? Why would she do this?

"Brat! Don't you touch me!" She growled at me.

Her words echoed in my mind.

"W-why did you s-slap..me? Don't you care a-about me?" I'm afraid.. what is happening?

"Fool child, did you actually thought I cared about you? Hahaha!" She laughed in my face,not caring.

My whole world collapsed around me. I only saw darkness, and her words still echoed in my mind.

I passed out.. and I woke up in my room again.
But this time,it was dark. I think it was 2 am. I was breathing heavily, and I had tears in my eyes. I put I hands on my face to block the light from the city lights only to feel a wet towel on my forehead but that wasn't the only thing I have felt. I felt something near my legs.

It was something alive,because I could hear the thing breathe.
I was so scared, who this thing was? And what did they do in my room?

I thought in every way possible,and a plan formed in my mind. I would take the pencil with who I drew yesterday, and poke the things face. And if something went wrong, I would scream. And I did that.

I poked the thing with the pencil. The thing opened its eyes.

The eyes glowed a light shade of purple around them. I knew who it was. It was her. She came back.

"Eva! You're back!" I shouted happily.

She looked at me.

"Is it okay if I turn on the lights?" She softly asked,trying not to scare me much.

"Yes,I want to see you more clearly."

After I said that,I felt her get up from the bed and walk to the switch.

She turned on the lights and...
