"Ella..Elllllaaaaa"
but Ella wasn't listening at all,more specifically, she was running with her life.She messed up the whole thing inside that labyrinth.She lost her spear,she lost the map and what was hammering her at every steps that, probably she lost Mashiro for good."I saw him bleeding enough to die".Her steps became heavier,she crumbled and fell over and over again.
"Elllaaaa..."She heard again. That's Jasson. He was waiting for her outside the labyrinth and if she couldn't make her way back on time, he had to return without her."Would he really go without me?" Though that was the rule,no one had ever waited for any one.Ella ran like a leopard, she could feel the fire under her feet. Her shoes were tearing off, she could taste the blood inside her mouth."Agh!" She had cut her left foot but she didn't stop. "Would this be enough?or I would die here alone'
"Ellaina Gibson, that's it. Would you open the door or do I need to break it?
Ella got shocked. No one here called her by Ellaina, and "was that mom?"She woke up straight as arrow. It's already ten and she had to get ready.Her dad would take her to the school she was going to get admit.Ella,was the eldest daughter of Gibson family followed by two more siblings named Daniel and Anna. Mr. Gibson worked as a manager of a large cleaning company and his wife Mrs.Gibson worked at a pre school. A happy family who moved in their newly purchased house at Boaver Hill street two months before. Children could have stayed at their previous school but the couple thought as they both were working so it would be easier if they admitted their children to a school that was closer to their house. And Boaver Hill Junior High was quite well known.
Ella, a fifteen years old red haired girl with a round pale face was not really interested about schools. At her old school where she studied for a long long time she couldn't make a single friend, well she was not a very popular kid.Her mother tried a lot to make her social and out of her mother's enthusiasm Ella did a lots of things like attending clubs,singing,dancing, acting,blah..blah..blah,but nothing particularly attracted her. In class she was the same inattentive, clumsy girl whose lecture books were filled up with lots of wired stuffs. The only good thing was the sports days..she loved to run. When she ran, she felt an incredible liberty like she didn't exist here,she was not a worldly thing, she was like the air. Other than those sports days she hated to go to school. But this time, Ella was interested about the new school she was going to get enrolled. Though she didn't tell anybody about that except Lucky, her dog, her best companion.
One hour later Ella with her two siblings and her dad were sitting inside the principal's room.Mr. Hobart,the principal of the Boaver Hill High,seemed like a very organised person by the way of his talking. He was a man of his late fifty, mostly bald but with a goofy moustache. His swivel chair looked pretty smaller to fit his big fat tummy.He talked about the school rules, which were quite strict,with a nasal flat tone of voice. Then he asked some questions to which Daniel and Anna were very responsive, and as usual Ella went like "hmm","yes","probably".Anyway, twenty minutes later when their father had finished with the forms, Mr.Hobart said by identically using his nose, " Okay then, Welcome Gibsons'!! from now on you three are the students of Boav High. Good deeds would be excellently appreciable, but at the same time, we would show zero tolerance against all kinds of odd and unexpected behaviours". After that, the three siblings went to visit their classes.
When they were returning from School, Ella was shivering. She didn't tell anybody but she felt feverish and her legs were like bursting with pain. After returning home She
went straight to her room, didn't talk to anybody, not even with Lucky. Strange thing happened when she removed her socks she found a deep cut under her right foot with several other cuts on left one as well.
"How did this happen?" Ella became frightened. She didn't want to tell her parents but later on when her condition grew worse, she had to inform them. No surprise that she got drilled by the questions of them. "But,what could be my answer?didn't remember anything"
At night when She woke up to take some waters she remembered her last night's dream,but couldn't understand anything. That evening Ella didn't watch the news. So she was unaware that, a fourteen years old kid named Mashiro Chan, studying at Boav High was killed by a tragic car accident.
