Dazed and Unknown

VIII.

Travelling and getting lost only mean something if you are prepared, expecting it to happen and motivated yourself to do it; so I really wonder what to call this event held by Seiph this instant.

Ladies and gentlemen we are now arriving at our destination, please only remove your seatbelts when the red light is off may you enjoy your visit in your the place. Happy to be your companion in this flight. Good day.

I heared buzzing, laughing, clicking of seatbelts and compartment door "Lian!! We're here! Theres snow" I plan on disregarding her comment but wait snow? I looked at the window to confirm and yes its snowing and im just wearing trousers-shirt combination just great!

On the arrival someone is waiting for us smiling and holding a board, Jaimme went first to greet the guy they shaked hands and talked but inaudible in my hearing maybe bec. We are too far from their location.

"Thats Kevin" Seiph suddenly appeared on my side "whos' who?" I helped her push our cart "Standing branch president, he is Jaimmes' secretary" I looked at the man in question, he's tall with clean cut nobody will question that he is a businessman. I looked at Seiph currently clicking something on her phone "so? Why am I here?" "I dont want to leave you in our place alone" she answered without looking at me, that is sweet "really now? Why? Concern of my safety" I smiled "I had been thinking that you are quiet and classy most of the time but I know you have your temptations you might bring home man while im here cold and frozen doing my work-" she looked at my eyes grabbing both my shoulder "and thats not fair!" Shes acting like a broken hearted girl now with a combined facial expression. I am dumbfounded, what sweet Lian? Slash that word shes a demon.

"But yes partly I am concern of your safety you are my little baby, you're still not ready to experiment alone I have to teach you first and without pay of course a lot of girls had been begging me for my secrets, I am telling it exclusively for you!" She smiled sweetly at me

"Ready to go?" Jaimme is infront of us with Kevin is it? He pushed our cart. "Lian, are you not cold?" Now speaking of I am really cold right now I am not even wearing anything to protect from this coldness. A coat suddenly draped in my shoulders "I got you love" it was Seiph handling me a mittens and a bonnet "for real? You have a lot to say sorry to me" she stared at me "what? Its not my fault you wear that clothes" I stared at her keenly not moving an inch disbelief written all over my face "or maybe I am?" She frowned "you dont remember what you did to me? You shout, pushed and walked all over the place not answering any of my questions" "ehem" Jaimme caught my attention

"Ok girls we'll wait for you in the car" Jaimme walked past us followed by Kevin

Seiph laughed "yes right! Oh im really sorry I'll prepare you a lemonade every breakfast" She looked at me " with a muffin? Banana muffin. Im sorry we are in haste that time. Forgive me?" I looked at her then sigh" ok fine as if I have a choice, but what are we doing here?" We walked together towards the door "we have to check something in Unalaska I think" "you think? You dont even know?" She smiled "well you see just hearing the word Alaska made me jump in glee I didnt mind the other details" this is unbelivable, does she even know what she got herself? "Did you really like Alaska or that man we are with?" "Who? Kevin?" I am irritated by her answer, not the answer Im expecting alright I could imagine my brow frowned. She laughed hard "really? Youll do this to me here?" She's touching her abdomen "sorry sorry but you should have seen your face its hilarious!" She's laughing too loud its attracting attention from other people "okay okay thats funny. Who? Jaimme? No!" She gone quiet "really now? Okay! Lets go!" I walked ahead of her "thats it? Done with the interrogation?" "Yeah! Come on!" I shout at her back

"You girls took your time" Jaimme is seated in the passenger seat and Kevin is driving "were sorry we had issues we have to discuss" I was waiting for Seiph to settle down when a gust of wind suddenly blow my bonnet, I was about to get it "Lian come on" "wait my bonnet" Seiph glanced from her seat to the back "No leave it its in the snow with a puddle, it was already wet come on hop on" i just followed her

The drive was quiet maybe because Jaimme and Seiph are both asleep "you should go and sleep miss" Kevin talked to me through the mirror "its okay I had enough sleep during the flight and please call me Lain" he nod then continue to give attention in driving

The ride is peaceful, we are crossing the mountain road, white crystals could be seen around, majestic trees as if trying to reach the heaven and a pour of white rain; with the ride accompanied by classical music it is not unusual that i got visited by sleep.

➰➰➰

I woke up with the coldness sweeping my face and neck, dont get me wrong i've been raised to countries with a very cold temperature but its just that I never gotten myself to adjust in the cold, my body likes heat.

"Oh you woke up at the right time Lain, were here" I saw how 2 gates covered with snow opened for us to enter. The trail is covered with snow but you can notice that it was in fact a cemented road "where are we?" I am in awe to the place. It was in the mountain, the house is in the middle of the river, a wooden bridge is the only pathway to enter the house, the foyer had a spot for bonfire. "Whose house is it?" I pushed my suitcase to the steep pathway which im thankful for. I looked around, this must be a vacation house such a waste if this were mine I would love to stay here for years. "Yes its my friends' he dont stay here and just visit the place once or twice a year I think" he help me hoist my suitcases up "this is amazing" he smiled at me amused "what?" I looked at him quizzically "he will love to hear that" "then I would love to say it to him"

"I'll sleep in my room im tired" Seiph suddenly appeared opening the door "sure take your time-" Jaimme turned to Look at me "-how about you Lain? Ready to hit the sack" "no, i'll check the area first" "okay dont wander off too far" a creak followed by opening of the door with Seiph peeking to the small opening "wheres my room?" Jaimme laughed "oh right sorry in here, excuse me Lain" "sure" He then entered the house.

I stretch my hand to catch a falling snow. I walked towards the lake that is now frozen leaving a beautiful glass flat area my foot leaving a trace behind, i looked at my feet feeling the cold - right I am wearing a sneakers but I didnt mind bec. I love this place.
