The Sowl Unity

Chapter 36: The outbreak

***Caitlyn's POV***

My head felt hurt a bit. I was sitting on my bed after school, feeling exhausted.

I looked through the window. It was beautiful to see the glorious garden with flowers blooming everywhere.

Someone knocked on the door of my room. It was the housekeeper, Tiana Grace. She was my at least comfortable to be with.

She brought along with her a cup of tea with a small plate below it. She wears what other housekeeper wears, a maid outfit. She looked so young.

"What's wrong my dear?" she asked as she gave me the tea.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"Is it something or someone?"

"Someone," I smiled.

"Ah, I see. I once had a crush with someone and who knows? We both had a crush on each other!"

"Thats romantic," I said without realising it was emotionless.

"Cut!" said the director, "you need to express yourself as if you are in to this!"

"I'm sorry I was just-"

"Just... take your time, I wanna take a break. Alright people, time to move now."

Everyone in the room got out of the room, leaving me alone. I went outside and sat on a bench to take a deep breath.

Tiana looked at me from the side. She sat next to me as she wiped her make up off. She once said that she was 20 years old and still single.

"Good grief, what just happen back there?" she asked, looking exhausted. We have been acting together for a year that time.

"Nothing, I'm fine. You looked exhausted."

"Of course I am cause its literally the fifth time you spoiled the scene!"

"Oh yeah, sorry about that," I apologised.

"So tell me what's bothering you? I can't handle this acting of yours."

"I-I, fine I'll tell you. Just don't tell anyone, pinky promise?"

"Sure," and that we did a pinky promise.

"I had a crazy crush on someone."

"Oooo, is it a guy?" she teased.

"Of course! I'm not that kind of girl!"

"I'm just kidding, of course I know its going to be a guy. So how's it going?"

"Well, pretty bad I guess."

"Look girl, no one can resist your cuteness. Plus, you're famous."

"He was kinda doesn't know me when I met him."

"Hmm.... kinda tricky. Maybe he's from another country?"

"You know what? I'm going to do it right this time!"

After a few minutes of doing some shooting, I finally made everything right. I sighed with relief.

"Good job everyone! Now remember, we will have another scene to shoot tomorrow at the sea. Be there as early as you can, especially you, Caitlyn."

"Yes, I will." I replied.

"Good," he praised, "now everyone, lets head back to the office."

All of them went on a van, three vans to be in fact. I was wondering why the would use my house for this scene.

Probably they want a sneak peek. But if I fought back, the director would be tempered. As that was done, I finally had the time to relax.

"Maybe I should get shopping. Yeah lets do that."

I changed my clothes to a blue T-shirt with a big donut on it. Apart from that, I called my driver, Zack, to drive me to the nearest mall, The Giga shop.

I woke up when the car stopped. I was wondering why they were a lot of cars in front, honking and waiting to be in fact.

"What's happening?" I asked.

"Something must be up ahead," he stated, "we can go back now once we had the chance."

"I guess we have to then. I don't wanna waste time anymore."

We then change our route to the left, heading to the park as far as I remembered. As soon as we were about to pass the park, the car broke down all of a sudden.

I went to the park while Zack called for help. He deeply apologised and I said its ok.

Somehow the park felt silent and empty. Despite that, I kept on walking. Its been a while I hadn't been outside. Well, except going to school, shooting scene and shopping.

I sat on a bench nearby a tree. The weather wasn't too bad. I felt a sudden breeze that made my skin chills.

Suddenly, a huge blast sound was heard, followed by a man, thrown into the midair. He hit the tree nearby.

He was critically in grave danger. I rushed to him. He was coughing blood out of his mouth. He was wearing a black tough looking armor.

Blood was stained all over the floor. I was about to freak out. I couldn't handle the circumstances.

"Get out of here," he desperately said, "before its too late." He then fainted.

I ran back to Zack to check him. Surprisingly, there was a meteor heading directly toward the car. I quickly pulled Zack away from the car.

I felt relief that he was safe. We tried to find a cover, but it was too late. A group of four people, two boys and two girls, were in front of us, noticing us.

I frozed and trembled in fear. Zack stood in front of me to protect me. He looked very heroic.

One of the boy sent out a very terrifying and dangerous blast of fire. Unfortunately, as Zack tried to save me, himself got burnt.

I was about to cry but then something bad was already waiting. I really wished for someone to save me right that moment.
