if only i knew.

CHAP 11) TRICKED.

We went to one of the less popular spots.. not a lot of people were there. There was a strange smell. I'm guessing from the homeless people.

It was a lovely park, there was even a lake.

Ella and Oliver were walking to the lake.

I saw a strange figure in the distance.. So, I wasn't about to follow Ella and Oliver. I had no clue how to get their attention.

I had to be as quiet.. and as oblivious as possible.

I went up to Oliver, "We need to go." I whispered in his ear.

He nodded.

He told Ella quietly.

"Come on, let's go. Now." Oliver says to Ella.

She looked concerned but she nodded and we left.

There was a donut shop around the corner. I used to go here with my mother when I was little.

"There's a donut shop around here, and it's also sort of a cafe." I say.

"I'm hungry.." Oliver says.

We walked to the donut shop.

"Where are your parents?" The nice lady asks us.

"We're.. orphans.." Ella responded.

"Orphans? Oh no." The lady says, "You can eat for free, We also have normal food.. I'm sure you guys are starving!"

We nodded.

Ella starts to speak, "We appreciate it.. You know, it's not easy being an.. orphan."

"Oh.. I know, It must be difficult!" She says, She brings out some food. "Eat, Eat."

She looked beautiful.. She looked like Aphrodite's child, I was blinded by her beauty.

She gave us cheeseburgers and fries.. and of course a chocolate milkshake.

Me and Oliver both dug in, we were starving. Ella.. she wasn't eating. The lady noticed that.

"Sweetheart.. Why aren't you eating?" She asked.

"Oh.. Not hungry." Ella says.

"Eat some.. At least." She says.

Ella nodded, I think she only agreed because she doesn't want the lady to be annoyed.. or mad with her.

Ella started eating a tiny bit.

Me and Oliver both finished, We were full. It was a lot of fries.. and a big cheeseburger.

Oliver burped a little, "Oops.. Sorry!" He says, laughing a little.

"What made you wanna work.. in a place like this?" Ella asks.

"Well.. It was just fun. I guess. I- I painted people, that's what all the statues are doing here." She says.

"Statues?" I ask.
