I am Forgotten

CHAPTER 5: OH, THE DRAMA

I wake up, not feeling in the mood to go to work. But I have to...

Usually, I'm in a good mood on Mondays. That's odd to you? Huh, I didn't know that. I guess we're all different.

I get out of bed and get ready for the morning. I had an event happening today. We were going to set up a red carpet for our South African celebrity actors and I feel it's going to be a busy day for me. Actors from 7 De Laan. It's an Afrikaans show. There is a bit of English in.

I never really watched the show and only saw them act once. To be honest, I can't remember their names. I just set up the studio while they chatted with the make-up artists preparing their faces. I heard people from outside screaming when they saw the actors walk on the red carpet. I was a bit annoyed and almost lost it.

I had to calm myself down and try get the crowd's attention. "Hey, everyone. Please settle down. We're trying to work here. Please leave. How did you guys even get in here? Jerry? Please help me take these people to the exit." Jerry, the security guard turns his attention to me and helps me escort the people outside the area and we closed the gates. These people don't do their jobs. Only when they're told to. This is going to be a long day indeed.

I went back to setting up the room with props. We have a manager that is supposed to supervise us but ended up talking to the actors. Some of us were trying to get his attention so that he can tell us what to do next after completing a task and also making sure we did the task properly. That really bothered me. I completed my one task and walked up to him, ready to take him on.

"Hey! Mike! You just gonna stand there talking to the actors when you're supposed to guide us with our tasks!? Don't make me force you to-" The manager put him fingers on my lips and said "You need to keep quiet and do your job. I'm entertaining our guests." I moved his filthy figures off my mouth and replied "Watch it, Mike! I am doing my job. We can't continue unless you do your job." I point at him and give him a death stare. He excused himself from the actors and we walked to his office. He closed the door and looked at me.

"Do you realize that you embarrassed me in front of the actors?" he said. I snarled "So, you deserved it. We're working our butts off and you aren't telling us what we need to do. You've got the information. We don't." He sighed and locked the door. "You're a feisty one. You need to be punished" I realized why he locked the door and backed away, trying not to let him touch me. "Stay the fuck away from me."

Mike grins and he walks close to me. I was getting ready to fight, and then we heard shouting from outside of the office. He stepped away and went to go check what's happening. He stops halfway out the door and says "We're not done." I gave him the middle finger when he walked to the cat fight. I then walked out and closed the door.

I saw two of the workers fighting but on one was stopping them. Everyone was just watching. I ran in between the two and tried to break them up. I found it difficult to break the two men apart but they stopped and I was standing in between them. Everyone stood quiet, and I didn't like how they were looking at me. I looked at my hands and realized that I had transformed.

People were backing away from me. Iris and Tom came to see what was happening and spot me all transformed into an ugly beast. I transformed back but I still received the same looks from everyone. Iris and Tom never saw me transform before and all I could see were scared faces. I ran out of the building before anyone could touch me. No one followed me but I still had to check in-case.

I ran deep into the woods and hid, sitting down and out of breath. They all think I'm a monster. I wish none of this ever happened...
