Changing MY World

Arrival

Passing by the streets, I see the fast movements of the city lights as I stare outside the car.

The two men with me is very quiet, both of them occupied with somethong in mind.

Then I see Carlos, looking at me through the rare mirror, I was about to ask why or what it is but he senses that I know he was looking at me, he quickly changes his gaze to Zael and starts a conversation with him.

I hear them talking about what to do and where to do it. With my time useless, I take it as an opportunity to look at the both of them and study their features.

Both of them have fair skin, same nose and lips, the difference is their eyes. I can totally distiguish them by their eyes and their hair styles because Zael have this sky-blue eyes that complements his brown hair that is combed neatly to the back of his head leaving some by the side of his head looking like a rich butler from a movie. While on the other hand, Carlos owns his brown eyes with his pure black hair that is kept a bit messy and he has a small part of his face covered by his hair in the right side. His hair shouts 'I am a bad boy but I am totally a gentleman.' kind of vibe to me. Also they differ in their facial expression Zael is more of the serious type and Carlos is somewhere in between mysterious and fun.

As I look at them further I realize they look exactly the same I just wonder that maybe one of them changed their hair color or something like that.. Maybe one of them is wearing eye contacts..
I mean I wouldn't know.. I have just met them a few hours ago..

Then it hits me..

What if..

What if they are just toying with me?

What if they are just taking advantage?

Or what if they hurt me or kill me even?

I stare in horror and curse myself for coming with two men I completely know nothing about and they just got me without a fight..

DUMB Sheilla! Damn you! I scream inside my head.

"Are you okay?" I stare at Carlos dumbly as he raised the question.

"You look pale Sheilla, is there something wrong?" He asks once more and I try my best to answer with a steady voice.

"Yes.. I-It's just a-a bit shocking for me until now. I am just starting to take it all in." My hands holding each other are begining to get sweaty and I feel Zael staring intently at me so I keep my eyes with Carlos.

"Sheilla, I know it is a bit hard to react in everything right now. But I would like to tell you that we are not joking around here. I know you barely know us and it is not a good thing that we just runs into your house and snatch you there, But you have trusted us. I know it is hard to believe in us, to believe in all of these but right now you have to. You have to believe." Zael focuses his gaze on me as he speaks. He is very good explaining such things but it does not take all my fears away. I guess it will stay there for awhile and I hope they know and understand that very well..

"Thank you for understanding.. " I stare blankly and shyly at him.

Carlos just gives me a small smile and goes back to staring into nowhere while Zael, well..

I really don't know.. he has been quiet like Carlos, but he's quietness is quite intriguing and somehow suffocating..

As I think about it more and more..

I realize I fell into a deep sleep...

Then at some point, I felt the car stop and when I opened my eyes, I saw a big white classic house..

I'd be shocked if I actually live here but since I do know that it's not my house.. I didn't expect less from these two gentlemen with me right now.

Then a lady, maybe in her twenties, a bit near thirty, 28 maybe, I assume that is their Maid, rushes out of the house and opening my side of the door.

"Good evening ma'am, I am Marika. Lady Carolyn has assigned me to be your personal helper. May I be of any help?" She explains to me, giving me a small smile.

"Hi Marika. I'm Shiella, please call me by my name and don't worry I can manage it myself. I don't really wanna burden you." I smile back and taking my bag with me.

She stands aside to give me way and I see Carlos entering the house.. Zael following him..

Oh boy... Good luck to me!

Me and this big house..
