Chapter 5

It was a fine spring day with birds chirping loudly, wind blowing gently, not too hot nor too cold, a day to which anyone would look forward to. On a beautiful day like that two figures were making there way towards an orphanage, a middle aged couple. They went inside and looked for the orphanage keeper and soon they spotted her. They made their way towards her excited to finally adopt the child they were planning from the beginning, today was the day they were looking forward too. They were going to adopt a 5 year old girl, the couple had already met her before, she was really cute and well mannered just like they wanted, of course there maybe some flaws since she had been here for a long time but they were sure they can fix that just fine. Now only the last paperwork was left and they'll be free to take her with them.

You had been sitting on a swing with your best friend Kate by your side, talking to her about how excited you felt that finally you're going to have parents who would love you and take you to parks and play with you, to say that you were happy and excited would be an understatement. However, you were a little sad too, because you knew you were going to miss the orphanage, the people who took care of you, the other kids and of course Kate. You were swinging your legs lost in these thoughts when you heard someone calling your name, it was Mrs. Rosalie, the orphanage keeper older kids told you that she was the boss here and that no-one should mess with her. You stood from the swing waving Kate and making your way towards Mrs. Rosalie, she held your hand and made way towards two people who were standing in the waiting area. They were the ones, your new parents. You slowly made your way towards them smiling brightly and hugged the woman who was now going to be your mother, she pinched your cheeks finding you adorable, and at that moment you knew you were going to have the best family, at least that's what you thought. However, it doesn't takes much time for things to change.

You opened your eyes no longer wanting to play the memory of that day again. It was the only day where you felt loved and the happiest.

You felt someone's eyes on you the whole time when you were taking the stroll down to the memory lane. You won't have paid attention to it until you started to feel uncomfortable, your hands started sweating as you lifted your self up from your lying position. You gasped at the sight infront of you. It was him, but very different from the last times when you encountered him.

He was sitting between the door frame looking intensely at you. However, what caught your attention the most was his clothes and the look on his face. He wore a full buttoned up shirt and capri pants of bright yellow colour, just like how a child would have worn. The look on his face was amused as well as innocent at the same time.

"My name's Hobi. I love hamburger." He said in a child like voice. You sat there dumbfounded and waited for him to continue. He looked in your direction and smiled mischievously.

"He's on the move" he said trying to control his laughter. "What?" You asked.
"He's. on .the .move." He repeated again with the same amusement, and looked towards you as if waiting for you to ask the question.
"Who?" You asked."Someone's coming for you and you're not gonna like it." He said happily.
"Tell me." You said.
"I'm not supposed to tell you." He said and looked in the other direction. "Fine. He's done awful things to people and he'll do awful things to you." He finished clearly amused with the obvious expression of fear you had on your face. You stared in his direction, before starting the conversation again.
"Hobi, how old are you?" You asked carefully.
"12." He answered right away with a prideful look on his face.
"So you're not the man who took me." You asked slowly and hesitantly.
"No." He answered.
"You're not the lady.". You asked again.
"No, what are you blind." He said looking a little frustrated from your question. But, you decided to keep interrogating him as it looked as the best chance to get some answers to your questions.
"You don't know how they think?" You continued.
"No. They don't tell me much." He spoke hesitantly.

"Could you help me Hobi." You asked very carefully.
"No, I'm not even supposed to be here, I stole the light from Mr. Jacob if he finds out he'll get angry with me." He said, looking anxious, and started to get up from the spot where he was sitting.
"Wait!" You shouted, a little too loud. He stopped and looked towards you.
"I heard something." You said, forming the next steps of your plan.
"You did, what did you hear?" He asked.
You took a deep breath to prepare yourself for the next part of the plan.
"Come closer. I'll whisper it to you." You said carefully.
He came towards you in a sitting position, looking excited for this new information he's going to acquire. He settled in front of you before taking a burp.
"Sorry, I drank too much sprite." He said looking embarrassed and rubbing the back of his neck. If it wasn't for the fact that the man sitting infront of you had kidnapped you and had been scaring you, you would have considered him cute at the moment, except he looked a little creepy right now. Nonetheless, he leaned his ears closer to your lips.
"This guy, you were talking about is, coming for you." You whispered, making your voice as creepy as possible, he looked towards you before leaning back, but still sitting in front of you. He looked scared.
"Bu-bu-but Mr. Jacob said that h-he- he's been following you for the last two months and he knew that you were the one that 'he' would want." He said stuttering, and on the verge of crying.

"When you're not around, I heard Jacob and the lady talk about how 'he' wants a boy this time." You said maintaining eye contact with him so that he doesn't think that you were lying.
"But, but Miss Ho-sook said that he's not mad at me anymore." He said in his childlike voice.

"I think Miss Ho-sook is still a little mad at you." You said sympathetically.
"Miss Ho-sook thinks I'm stupid." He said wondering to himself.
"Hey, look at me." You said cupping his cheeks with both hands.
"Don't be upset, I'm just like your friend I'll talk to you and play with you." You said, removing your hands and trying to convince him that you mean no harm.
"If you help me get out of here, I promise that I'll play with you and share my toys with you. But we need to hurry Hobi. We need to hurry." You said desperately.
"Wait. It took us forever to make this a safe place so that no one could find us......You can't leave." He shouted at the end which made his voice deeper but still behaved like a child, and started getting up from his place to leave as fast as he could.
"Wait Hobi," you shouted and ran after him but he locked the door.

You stood there and watched him opening the door to the other room and leave.
