"Up up! rise and shine, Sunshine" called Serah. "you've got school starting from today".
hazel lay awake,staring up onto the the ceiling, still trying to figure out last nights little episode. "well,I guess I have to make this my new life now" thought Hazel to herself.
Hazel and Serah didn't speak much at the breakfast table and nor did they speak during the ride to school.
Serah left hazel by the gate. Hazel,not used to her new life yet,walked in slowly glancing at everything around her. She saw Daryll sitting near the basketball court all alone. She decided to go speak to him. She didn't know why but she felt some strong connection towards him.Like she knew how he felt.
when she went and sat beside him,he jumped. "Daryll" she said softly. daryll immediately got up and started walking away from her.
"Daryll,wait!I'm Hazel." she said
Daryll stopped but didn't turn around. Hazel went in front of him "Daryll,why are you so scared of Serah?"
"S-serah.. She.. She.. That wicked old woman.." replied Daryll
"she what,daryll?"
"she killed my mother,Hazel. She killed her. You're living in a murderer's house."
"killed your mother?she's no murderer.
"she is ,hazel. Trust me. I was right in front of my mother when she killed my her."cried Daryll "I was only six when my mother was killed. But I saw it happen,hazel. I clearly remember EVERYTHING. It still haunts me every night. " he dropped down onto the floor and started crying uncontrollably.
Hazel just sat down beside him and hugged him. Now it all became clear to her. Why Daryll acted so strange around Serah. Why everyone else in the village acts so weird around her. EVERYTHING. Then it suddenly struck to her that she was living in a murderers house. she wanted to get away from there. But,she had nowhere else to go.
That afternoon,Hazel and Daryll went out for some coffee. When they sat down with their coffee, Hazel spoke "How was your mother like? "
Daryll looked up, tears welled up in his eyes ,"she was the prettiest woman ever. She was ever so kind and gentle. " he paused for a minute
"how's your mother like? "
"my mother,well,she defines beautiful... "
Daryll saw tears in Hazels eyes
"what happened,hazel?"He asked
" my mum... my dad.. I think my dad killed my mum" she sobbed again
"WHAT!?" yelled Daryll.
"Yeah" said Hazel as she explained the whole episode to Daryll.
After that, he walked Hazel home.
