Chapter : Almost Home

Hailey Ashtoreth's pov

"Mommy! I want to be that girl! Guys are suddenly circling around her!" I thought that child's voice would wake me up, but it didn't, this is not a nightmare, perhaps a good dream of mine again?

Or not.

"Tsk!" I heard make noise at my back that made me curious and look behind.

It's him, the foul mouthed one.

He walked in the wall where we all placed our wish.

The wall that we believe that could at least reach a gods heart to make our wish come true.

"This is funny. Wishing for something good to happen?" He said as he looked at the paper he was holding.

Realizing whose paper it was, my eyes got widened.

"Stop! That's mine!" I said to him, but there's no use he didn't listen.

Instead he put it inside his pocket.

"I'll make it come true, whatever your wish is. Just say that you are mine." He said with eyes full of determination, is he crazy? Someone call a mental doctor.

"Hailey when you said something good, perhaps it is this?" Then the man who asked me my wish earlier flick his fingers and stars was suddenly falling everywhere.

"Wow! This is amazing." Carol who might be thinking this was a show, looked very happy seeing the small stars falling.

It's truly beautiful, but how can he .. How can they show up suddenly?---

"Jake! Come here!" I stop what I was thinking when I heard a noise.

"But mom! I can get the stars here! They're disappearing at our spot." The boy said as he climb farther the old steal.

No! Down there is a road where there are cars and even if he can't get killed by the roads and cars he might kill himself just by falling down from here!

"Look mom, I catch one-" He's falling, he's falling he's falling!!

"Somebody help him!" I heard his mother shouted.

I ran into the side and try to save him, when I thought he was not that heavy, but for real thing he was heavy. Instead of saving him, I got pulled with him.

Am I going to die right now?

I hug the boy with my body thinking I could cover him from the impact, that at least could try to save his life.

Will I really die--?

Suddenly hearing a voice I opened my eyes. "Hailey think of who you want." Who I want? What's that?

I just wanted to pet a lion when I was small and when I found that there are good things at night I kind of have love the stars, if it's just something like this simple. This is just what I really want.

Everything became black after closing my eyes.

------------------

"Hmmm." I slowly opened my eyes when I had felt that there are people who are staring at me.

"It's good that you are awake Hailey." The guy who let me fall on my dream yesterday said to me.

I look at myself just to find out that this is not my room.

Where am I?

"Can I ask what you want?" Another man said as he smile genuinely.

"Um. A glass of water." I said hesitantly as I looked at him.

"That's easy." He said as he flicked his finger ... But nothing happened. Nothing changed.

"Hmm. This is unusual, I was so sure I used magic in Earth." He said as he questioned his fingers.

"I think I still have mine." The guy who let me saw the stars good view yesterday said. He tried flicking but nothing happen, nothing new.

"No way." He said as he stares at his hand.

"That just means we're really off to heaven now." The male beside him said, it was him who said I was a reborn goddess when I think I'm not.

"And to free us from the seal we must find the reborn goddess." Another man said as he stared at me.

Just look at me misters.

Where do you find the word reborn goddess with this looks of mine?

I'm just an ordinary person trying to live and ordinary life.

What I want to say, but will they even believe me when they look like some kind of handsome addicts?

"To think this reborn goddess is an idiot." I hate this foul mouthed guy.

He have no right to judge me!

"Maybe I was a reborn goddess but don't you think I am a normal human now?" I said nervously, which made them look at me, which I tell you I'm not comfortable with.

"Yeah like this girl said, she might be the reborn goddess, but she's an ordinary human now right? What can she even do?" Right what could I do?

Well I could do house works?

"So Leo, take care of the trash." The foul mouthed said as he left.

"We're entrusting her to you." What?! What am I? A garbage?

"Don't tell me you'll kill me like in the movies after using someone?" I asked as my eyes continuously grew wider.

He didn't reply at me

Instead he just show a gesture to follow him.

Even if I don't know what will happen I still followed him, hoping he won't really kill me.

"After taking this door, just think of your apartment and it'll take you there." He said making me breath out.

"You mean no killing?" I asked.

"Yeah none." He said that made me relief a lot.

"So good bye, Hailey." Not thinking why do they know my name without me telling them, I kind of feel sad leaving.

Before walking near the door, I look behind saw him walking away.

"Will I see you again?" I asked surprisingly I do not know what I was saying all of a sudden.

"Probably not." He said as he did not look at me and continued walking away.

Sighing at myself and looking at the door.

"Okay it's time to leave." I said when suddenly someone put a black handkerchief on my face, not letting me see.

Before I could even ask help he put his hand on my mouth not letting me speak.

Someone ... Help me ..!

To be continued.
