It's a weekend. And today Eclair will go to the orphanage to give them foods and their basic needs like personal hygiene, blankets, and stationery.
"Morning my lovely children," she said happily once they saw her at the door, the children ran towards her and give her a warm hugs.
"Mommy!," the youngest little girl screamed. She ran and jumped onto her lap and made Eclair giggles.
"Oh, baby girl! You've grown up," she chuckled and rubbed the girl's back. Hannah, she's only 5. Been left at the orphanage since she was born because her parents died in the terrible accident. She called Eclair 'mommy' because she felt comfortable with the woman.
"Alright children. How are you?," she began to talk. And the children altogether said, "We are fine, Ma'am."
"Today I brought you my homemade sherphed pie, strawberry pancakes, your new blankets, stationery and... A set of toothpaste and brush each one of you," she smile and unpacked the items she bought. Some of the children sighed when they heard toothpaste and toothbrush. Oh kids nowadays!
"Mmm... Your pie is delicious as always mommy," Hannah said while scooped the pie into her tiny mouth.
"Awww. I know you'll like it. Eat more," she said and cut another piece for Hannah.
*******
The next following week, she went a visit to the elderly welfare home and took care of their daily needs.
She bought them napkins, blankets, cook for them and help the workers to clean the house. She's happy with what she did to others. And of course, she's not hoping people to praise or remember her, it's more than enough when she see them smile, happy and stay healthy.
** Eclair's POV**
As I went to pick up dried clothes, I felt someone's watching me. But there's nobody since the workers brought them at the hall.
And the weird thing is, I didn't heard the sounds of crickets or birds chirping, but only a weird clicking sound. The SAME clicking sound I heard before! It's 12:30 in the noon. I need to hurry before unwanted things happen!
I can feel all of my fine hairs stood up as it made that clicked sound again! What the hell was that?
Then I heard a loud thud behind me as I turned to walk inside. I stopped and I couldn't move my feet. I tried to move but somehow I feel like my legs stuck where I stand. "Wh- who's there?," I said with trembling voice. I cannot turn my head because I could sense another existence but I confirmed it was non-human. Is that a ghost? No! How can a ghost appear during midday?
Click. Click. Click.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Click. Click. Click... Purrrrrr.
Wait a minute! I heard a purring sound! It can purr?
No. No. No. The thing I assumed it was an inhuman can make both clicking and purring sounds? What's on earth was that? I don't think that a wild cat or a mountain lion would do that?
"Who's there!," I half shouted as I spun my body to look around.
My eyes widened, my legs felt like a jello, and I think my soul already flew from my body as I saw a huge frame, shimmered and have wavery line stood at least 20 meters from where I stand. It walked slowly and I forced myself to run.
Without second thought, I ran towards the door with a full sprint and left everything behind. I don't think I can fight that thing with my bare hands. No! I don't think I can defeat it!
Close and lock all the doors and windows, I stay inside one of the staff's room and remain quiet. I can hear my heart rates beats faster than usual. I wonder what was that thing! What on earth would do such a perfect camouflage!
I heard a loud knock at the door and the door knob twisted. I grabbed a baseball bat that I saw on the cupboard and ready to attack.
"Ohh! Wow wow! Whoaaaa! What's with the bat?," I heard someone's voices shouting at me when I raise my hands to swing the bat. I opened my eyes than I saw Colby, the young black man stood at the door. Shocked.
"Oh... C- Colby. I'm... I'm sorry. I thought... I thought it was-,"
"Chill. You need to calm down, babe. Hey you look pale... and trembling," he cut me before I finished and he eyed me from head to toe. My breath become hard and I couldn't feel my legs.
He put me on the chair, and another workers, Melissa and John came inside. "Yo! What's happening?," asked John and he shook my shoulder lightly.
"I... I saw something... At the back," I gulped my thick lump and began the story.
"I was picking up some clothes, and I heard a weird sounds. The clicking sound like a bat and purring like a big cat," I breath deeply and closed my eyes. They stared at me with a big eyes.
"Well, maybe... Maybe it was a wild animal sounds. You know. They might be roaming around the area," said Melissa.
"Is it normal to have wild animals roaming around this area," I asked her back because I found her statement was out of her mind! She then bit her lips and look at John and Colby.
"What does it looks like?," asked Colby in a stern and serious voice. I looked at him and hopefully he will believe me with what I'm going to say.
"(exhaled) okay... I heard a very loud thud like there was someone is wearing a heavy boots then jumped down from the high trees, then it made a weird clicking sound... Then it purrs at me," I said as my rubbed my temples. Melissa sighed and glance at me. "Maybe it just a rangers who patrolling the area. You're thinking too much," she grunted at me. I was like, I wanna kick her at her damn pussy so she could not have her own children in future!
"Can you explain to me... What if you saw a huge frame human-like torso, but it's inhuman because it's 7 to 8 foot height, wearing a perfect camouflage suit with a wavery outlines and a pair of luminous eyes?," I said as I walked slowly and pointed roughly on her chest with my finger. She stepped back and stared at me, unblinking.
John and Colby looked at each other and sighed.
