The Melody That Soothes Me

Chapter 3

When I arrived at the mall, the first thing I noticed was the smell of the greasy garbage that humans call food. I walked up to one of the food places and ordered just a water. While I waited for my simple order which seems like it takes an hour to prepare, I notice a girl with white hair sitting at a table all alone. When my water came out, I grabbed my water and walked over to the girl. "Hey. My name is Melody. Sorry to bother you, but you look like this girl is once knew." I asked as I approached. "My name is Katrina. And I'm surprised you recognized me, Melody." The familiar soft voice said. "So it is you. I have a few questions if you don't mind answering them, Katrina." I asked. I was finally getting the answers. I know I didn't have to wait a long time to get the answers,but still. "Sure. Go ahead." She replied and I sat down in the chair across from her. "Okay, so first. What happened to you? You kind of just disappeared when we were kids? Where did you go?" My first question came out rushed. "We have enemies, Melody. You don't remember anything. I know that. I can't explain everything right now because we are being watched. But just be prepared if anyone tries to harm you or your family and friends. Tell you what. Meet me at the old park we used to play in as kids in three days at seven p.m. I'll tell you everything then." She cut her eyes at two tall men that stood suspiciously in the corner. Immediately, I understood. Not totally,because I wasn't sure who 'we' were. Oh well. I'll get my answer in three days. "I have to go. Goodbye, old friend." Katrina said, standing up. "No, never say goodbye. Say 'see you later' or something. Goodbye implies that I'll never see you again. And besides, goodbyes are too hard to handle. So I'll see you soon, Katrina." I said, also standing. "Ah, well then, see you later, Melody." Katrina smiled and walked away.
