Lost

Chapter 1 - My Life

As of now, you, the reader, is living in a world where people with supernatural powers co-exist, and I made that happen, my name? Elith, Elith Zmich. You will be reading my life, before this community became harmonious.

I was 20, naïve because honestly, who would have thought all would go to Hell right? I didn't even know such supernatural power existed. My parents and siblings were burned in a fire due to my powers or I should say, abilities. At this age of time, these abilities are either imaginations or artificially made.

I was super into music and dance during that time, cosplay too. I clearly remember the date, the 2nd of July. My dance crew's first unit was finally debuting, at a cosplay event too! How the fuck could I not go right? I turned down plans the whole day, just to catch their 6 minute performance. Afterwards, we went to our usual place where we practice, until I got a call from my dad.

"Elith, if you come back and we did not survive, do not trust and question every single stranger who comes your way."

The call ended there, I was the most puzzled person in the moment. I told my friends I had to go urgently, I snatched all my items off the ground and just took off, although I didn't look back, I'm pretty sure they were as confused as me.

I ran home to see my house in ruins, ashes. My clothes, laptop, chargers all thrown out in a mess, what I thought was that my parents knew I was the only one who would be left and just threw every single piece of my item. All the things that I had to have to survive, was all in a mess on the floor. I picked up the bags on the floor and just started tucking everything in.

At that point, I was driven by two things. Revenge and Loneliness. Basically, anger and grief. I picked my half-zipped bags and just ran my ass off. I never really cared to hang with my relatives so honestly, I can't ask them for favors. The first thing I did? Text my friends.

Me:"Hey guys. Are you guys still at the location?"
Dante:"Yeah? You left so hastily."
Me:"I'll explain sometime."

I took a taxi back to our location for some private alone time where I could think. I literally just walked in and said "I'm homeless."

Of course, my friends were clueless of the situation. I could only ask my friends if they had a temporary room I could stay in. I had to find part time jobs to provide for myself but for the first month, Dante was good enough to lend me a sum of money for me to survive. I broke the news to Dante that night and I did tell Dante to help me break the news to the others too so they understand what happened earlier that day.

Questions ran over my head all day, why me? How did I survive? Was this planned? Who could have done this? I was determined to get all the pieces and piece them all together. How? I have no idea where to start, who would be crazy enough to join me in my search or perhaps revenge.

For that week, I kept thinking about their death. I don't think any of my relatives even knew since I didn't bother to inform any of them. No funeral was planned, no grave, no nothing. Their bodies were already burned to ashes anyways.

I'm talking about this like it's nothing but honestly, I'm over it already anyways. I could tell the story again and again and even then, I wouldn't be affected. After that week, I slowly settled down. I've found 2 part time jobs that I really liked.

The first one was a dance instructor more specifically, a KPOP dance instructor. The second was a online radio, with a webcam and a chatbox where I could talk to my watchers in between the songs. I was on the way to practice at our usual dance studio on the train.

On the train, I was hit on by a guy. His name was Lynx. His fashion sense really suited me, it was just like what we dancers wore, simple but comfy. I was standing against the glass wall beside the seats reading my books with my earpiece in just minding my own business. He just put his arm around my shoulder and pressed me up against the wall. He moved closer to my face.

L : "Hey, you're really cute and I think I recognise you from some where."
Me : "Really? Maybe from Maddspace*?" (*Maddspace is a dance studio-company thingy here in Singapore)
L : "Yeah, I think so, what's your name? I'm Lynx and maybe I could have your number?"

Me being naïve and having a thing for hot, dancers. I immediately gave him my number, my name. Forgetting all my Dad said. Although giving my details to Lynx wasn't all that bad though cause that's how I met my husband who helped me.

Moving on now, Lynx followed me to the dance studio. Half way there, he just grabbed my hand and held my hand all the way, me being 13-years-old, I started blushing like mad. When I walked in, all eyes were on us. Dante being the first to react he ask me who he was.

Me : "He's just a friend a met on the train."
Dante : "And...you are holding his hand so tightly, seems like you guys are more than friends."
Celestia : "Mmm, do I smell jealousy?"

Having said that, Dante just walked off and turned on the speaker on full blast and started practicing. The rest of us just laughed. During dinner, we were sat in a circle with our styrafoam boxes in front of us. Dante sat on my left and Lynx sat on my right. The reason why I wasn't attracted to Dante was because, Dante was my teammate and it would be awkward if we both were to be in a relationship and broke up, I didn't want to lose our bond.

We were all talking, having fun, laughing so loudly. It was the best type of therapy I could ever have. Lynx offered to send me home but I told him I'll be going home with Dante. Lynx thanked me for the day and just watched me go off with Dante. Dante gave me the cold shoulder all the way home, I tried to act cute and saw a little smirk but it didn't work.

However, that was honestly just the beginning of my story and how I started this revolution.
