Zane

"Zane.....you are closer than you think" the familiar voice echoed.

"to whom?...." 

"You will be guided to where you belong with his help, but he will have to pay a great price for it"

I woke up my mind searching for an answer for what is going on.

I have been hearing this man's voice telling me the same thing over and over again for  few days now. who is this "he" and how is that person able to tell about me when even I don't remember anything? usually, I would hear spirits tell me all about how their life ended but this time it seemed to be all about me, about my past which I don't recall.

After quickly refreshing myself I  wore a pair of black jeans with a blue t-shirt and my favourite pair of white Nike sneakers.

I went downstairs, smelling the beautifully fried, meaty smell of bacon. Natasha was already eating when I entered the dining room. She was wearing a yellow tube top matching her blond hair which was tied to a ponytail today. Her blue eyes stealing my attention as usual

"Good morning Zane!" Natasha welcomed me in an affectionate tone. She is the most considerate person I have ever met in my life, or out of all the people I remember. She immediately stood up and handed me a plate as I got near the table.

"Who are you going to be spying on today, Natasha? I asked while putting some bacon onto my plate.

" Unfortunately no one today, Zane. Dad told me to bring some new supplies for the mansion after breakfast"

"So what have you been up to?" She asked back, munching her bacon.

" been chilling " I answered back promptly looking at my meat. I wanted to tell her about the man's voice I have been hearing throughout the past few days but I didn't want to cause an event so I just kept it to myself.

"Hello, kids! How's breakfast today?" Mrs Libertra said entering the dining room. She appeared to be in a good mood today usually she would never greet us in such a friendly way.

"Delicious mom, I fried some bacon and made rice" replied Natasha with a smile.

I stayed silent not wanting any questions to be asked from me. Even though Mrs libertra, whom i call mds L, was the one who took care of me ever since I can remember, she's a selfish individual with a gloomy personality and since her speciality was the same as mine which was to read others emotions, I always felt nervous to be around her.

Mrs Libertra sat on the chair which was placed directly in front of me and started to place some rice onto her plate, while her sharp eyes were glaring at me.

"Dear...hows studing going" mrs L asked, now shiftingnherbgaze towards natasha.

" urgg....good i guess, mom im done eating, i habe some work to do" natasha replied standing up , plaing to leave.

"Why are you feeling so confused, Zane? Mrs liberata asked me as she ate,her red lipstick smuxhed all over her mouth.

" I feel- perfectly fine Mrs" I stammered trying my best to not look at her in the eye.

"Don't lie to me idiot, tell me!"

"MOM!!MOM!!" Natasha came in running excited into the dining room

"WHY? What's the matter, dear?" Mrs Libertra said standing up alarmed.

"There's someone in the darkroom! - a girl " she said breathlessly, her eyes widened as ever

"I will go call Kendrick. You Zane! Go and help her climb up into the living room,"  she commanded, pointing a finger at me.

"Okay," I replied and ran to the living room.

present time

Okay, honestly lying is not one of my greatest strengths but I have got no choice and I have got no idea who or where the hell her brother is. What I care about is that she needs to come up here as sir Kendrick will be here any minute now.  

"Please tell me ZANE, is he with you??!!." I heard her yell at me.

What should I tell her, I questioned myself. I heard the footsteps of whom I  assumed to be sir Kendrick's from the staircase behind me and I want to make a good impression about myself on him. So I quickly put the ladder down to the room and said,

"yes" 

She climbed up in a hurry, scanning the whole living room we were in I saw that she was eyeing the windows, I just hope that she doesn't hurt herself from trying to go out. She was wearing a white shirt where the upper part of it was almost see-through which I assumed must be due to the sweat. She noticed that I was looking at her and then hurriedly covered her left shoulder with her long hair. I couldn't help but notice how familiar she looked even though I have never seen her, was she the person the spirit was telling me about?

"So where is my brother and why did you kidnap us?" she snapped with ice-cold eyes.

"We didn't kidnap you, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAME HERE, "I explained roughing my voice.

I am known for how patient I am, but this girl is on another level when it comes to irritating me.

"Oh my god! What the hell are you talking about!, I didn't come here, I have never even seen this place before, JUST LET ME AND MY BROTHER GO!!" She argued in a high pitched voice.

God save my ears!

"Hey just let me tell you something before you make yourself a fool in front of others, now that you appeared in this dimension you cannot go back to where you came from earlier, well..we can't travel back, understood?" I told her in the kindest way possible.
