Breaking Ohana

Chapter 3

"Welcome home." she said sourly.

It didn't look like a home. It was a town. A ghost town. The shops were all closed and abandoned and no one was on the streets.

"What is this place?" I asked quietly while looking around the empty shops.

"We call it O, short for Ohana." Katherine explained. She wanted to get out of here.

"We?" I asked.

"Yes, we." a voice said from in front of us. He looked a little older than me, with brown curly hair and electric eyes. He was british, telling by his accent. He wore a plain hit T-shirt, a gray beanie, and jeans. He was attractive, you know, if you're into that kind of stuff.

Katherine ran towards him, smiling like an idiot. He smiled too, showing off his dimples. They hugged and then kissed. 

"Are you alright? Did The Box hurt you? I should've gone, Kat, I told you I should've gone." the boy said protectively.

"Harry, I'm fine. Really. I think she wanted me there." Katherine replied.

Harry turned to me, "What's your name love?" 

I really couldn't speak. I feel like I knew him. From somewhere. 

Cut it out, Bella, talk to him.

"I'm Bella." I said quietly.

"Well Bella, I believe you will fit in very well." answered Harry as he took Katherine's hand.

Katherine gestured me to follow him and I silently jogged towards them.

We were walking through the streets of O. O was pretty, when you really looked at it. I mean, you saw your local strip bar here and there, but it was like a nicer version of where I'm from.

"I think we better take her to Livvy. You know, just to be safe." Harry whispered to Katherine.

"Livvy?" I said rather loudly. 

They turned back to me in amazement. "Well we found her power." said Katherine enthusiastically.

"Holy fuck, Bella." said Harry in awe, "How did you do that?"

"Do what?'

"You just read my thoughts." 

"I did WHAT?" I said shockingly.

"Well, my power is that I can send thoughts to other people, like talking without moving my lips. Katherine here can pixalate herself and go to anywhere in Ohana. You, you must be able to read thoughts. And that is pretty amazing." Harry said. Katherine looked pretty amazed too.

"Whoa." I whispered. "That's pretty fucking awesome." 

Katherine and Harry chuckled and returned to walking.

We came upon a bunch of tents, and when I say a bunch of tents, I mean a lot of tents. All of the tents were lined up in a row probably of 100 or so. Katherine and Harry brought me to a certain tent that said Livvy on the top. 

I was hesitant to enter. I didn't really trust them yet.

Don't worry Bella, we won't hurt you. Harry sent me a thought.

I'm still scared though. I sent on back.

Just try to be fearless. For Ariel. Harry sent back.

Now that was weird. How did he know my sister's name.

No reading my thoughts, Curly. I mesaged sternly, as I entered the tent.

I heard a light laugh.

The tent reminded me of a fortune teller's room, but without the creepy vudu dolls and crystal ball. 

"Hi, Bella." a girl said from the middle of the room. Tent. Whatever.

"Hi." I replied politely.

"I'm Olivia." said Olivia sweetly, "I just want to talk to you."

"Why? Why me? Olivia, why am I here?" I asked truthfully.

"You're here because of the link you clicked on. When you clicked on that link, thinking you were going to a safe social network, you actually clicked on a portal to the box. And we got word that another had entered the box, so we came to save you." Olivia explained.

"So all of this is real?" I asked almost inaudibly.

"Sadly, yes." Olivia answered glumly.

"Harry was talking about powers, and my power being that I could read thoughts and I could talk to people with my thoughts. What does that mean?"

"Well, The Box gives you a power when you enter it. By any chance, did the box write your thoughts on the box in scribbles?" she asked

I nodded.

"As I thought. You see, like when I entered the Box, it showed me pictures, of my past, my present and my future and my powere turned out to be what I call TimeSeeing. This meaning being able to see anything that has happened, that will happen, and that is happening." she continued.

"That must give you a headache from time to time." I joked.

"Oh, you will know something about headaches. MindReaders get them a lot. Harry is almost always sick." clarified Olivia.

Well that sucks.

"I think you are ready to change out of that." She gestured to my tattered, torn, mud filled dress. She laughed, "Don't worry, Bella Wella, I know just the person who can give you better clothes."

She too my hand and led me outside to Harry.

"Where's Katherine?" I asked anxiously. Katherine was the only one I trusted. Maybe Harry. 

"She's sleeping. TimeFlying is a very big waste of energy." said Harry.

"Harold, bring Bella Wella here to Lauren." commanded Olivia as she patted my back.

"Sure thing, boss." Harry answered. We started walking in the opposite direction of Olivia.

Bella Well, huh?

Shut it, Curls.

Well, maybe I should call you Bulla, cause you my friend are a fiesty one.

I rolled my eyes and kept walking.
