Chapter 40: Back Into The Cage

The guy was walking on a sunny day with his brown hood covering his brownish hair strands and protecting them from the burning sun. He rode in the bus to get to his school and sat on the chair nearby the corridor and layed his bag on the chair next to the window. He took his hand out of his pocket to muse the little blue toy he has made of clay years ago and sink deep in thoughts. That little object he stares at for hours and always carries in his pocket. He wanted to give her this toy on her birthday but she wasn't there when he arrived. Only the burning car and Isabelle's screams were waiting for them. He found her again and when he decided to finally give it to her, she shouted at him and disappeared again. And he was always stuck in that day.

"Just tell me what were you thinking?!! You know he's searching for me! Now I have to leave everything behind again because of you!! Why won't you just get out of my life?! Go away!! I don't need you!! "

He remembered and squeezed the toy in his hands in pain as his heart cried out its misery. He wanted to give her this present more than anything but there was never a chance and now... She's nowhere to be found... She's gone.

In a parallel world, she walked under the pouring rains to reach the bus station. Thoughts were storming in her head. She didn't know what to do or feel anymore. Whom to hate, whom to love. Who is right and who is at wrong? Should she follow her mother's request or should she use the third wish and return to her time. Either way, she'll end up in the orphanage. Peter must be furious that even if she had the chance to solve it then, that hope vapored in the air now. So while she's here, she can at least save him. Save his future, his smile, his happily ever after. And on another side, she wasn't sure if she could face either Marinette or Adrien. And they both knew she was Sparrowleen, that's for sure. Is it even possible that she could look them in the eyes ever again? And how far have they discovered from the truth? How come she's supposed to save the ones who turned her life to hell? It was complicated as it is. They were and weren't the ones who ruined her life and she couldn't stop the thoughts.

She rode the bus and sat on the chair next to the window then hid her head down and just wanted to stop the noise in her mind. The next moment, she could hear the sound of birds chirping and the heat coming her way. She looked up to realize it is suddenly shinning. It wasn't normal how the sky at one moment was pouring rains and the other moment was clear. Something was wrong. She then felt someone sitting next to her. She was sure that seat was empty when she got onto the bus. She looked at that person and it was strangely not a stranger. It took her just a moment to realize that face and gasp.

Melody: M... M... Marcos?!!!

The guy was looking down when that voice broke into his ear and made its way to the heart increasing its beats. It was the one voice he wished to hear the most and the one voice he never expected to hear again. That voice just called his name. Isn't she dead or is he dead? Or is it that he's going crazy now. Is she... Alive? He didn't want to believe it's her unless his eyes chase away all the doubts. He looked up and it was her. She hasn't changed since the last time he saw her three years ago. She had the same mesmerizing eyes, the tall caramel hair strands and she even wore the same yellow hoodie she loved so much. He was speechless at that scene as his eyes widened. His weak, unsure voice called as his heartbeat rose even more.

Marcos: M... Melody?

He never expected he would call that name again but there he was. How did she even get there? Is she a ghost who only appears to him?

A lady sitting in the seat next to them on the other side of the corridor stated unsure.

The lady: I have seen this girl before somewhere in the news. Aren't you that missing girl?
