Chapter 8

"The shower in this house is so complicated" I grumble to complain as I walk toward the living room, I just happen to run into her.

Her wet short hair draped into her neck, her shoulder was slightly red due to the hot water she uses. She only wore a towel to cover up her body, the water on her wet hair keeps dropping on the floor.

"Oh, so you are a girl" I couldn't help but bluntly speak when I can confirm that she's a girl.

"Haa?! Of course, I am! Are fucking you blind?" she responded back with a shout, she combs her hair with her hand as she spoke to me.

Feeling that today has been a really long day, I decided not to fight back with her and ask why she wanted to talk to me.

"So? Why do you want to talk to me?" I ask, changing the subject as I comfortably sit down on the couch. 'Huh, I thought this will be dusty but I guess not and this is so comfortable' I thought to myself, I pat the couch to feel how bouncy it is.

"Wait for me to get change before I tell you," she said as she glares at me before walking out.

I rolled my eyes at her; I change my position from sitting to laying down on the couch. 'Luckily there are clothes that fit my size' I thought to myself as I close my eyes to rest.

Unknown to how long I have slept, I felt soft yet hard hit my face causing me to wake up.

"Who hit me?!" I shouted in anger, when I said this, I only felt a pair of eyes staring at me. I look up and saw her holding a pillow with a satisfied smile on her face as if she did something amazing!

"Finally, the ugly sleeping pig woke up, you should cover your face when you're sleeping," she said to my face, I could hear her snicker as she spoke.

I clench my hand to the pillow as I grit my teeth before throwing it into her face. "How about you cover your face when talking to me! Just seeing you makes my whole life ruined!" I retorted back to her; I rolled my eyes before glaring at her.

Unfortunately for me, she catches the pillow. "Ha! Seems like someone woke up with an attitude" she scoffed at me; she scowls at me as she sat down on the couch.

'This is because of you!'

"Anyway, where do you live again?" she asks as she leaned on the back of the couch with her arm on the top of the couch.

"As I said earlier, I live in Ontmont street riverhail" I replied to her as I flick my hair, I frown slightly as I think of myself being an experiment.

'Seriously, does she have to bring up the topic about me being an experiment? So insensitive'

"Do you remember your "Parent's" face?" she asks another question again; she took a glass of water that appeared from the armrest of the couch.

'Whoa, do they have a cola?'

I thought to myself as I mimic her movement earlier, after waiting for a second, a cup of cola appeared on the armrest.

Her question makes me irk, her quoting movement when she said parents make me irk even more.

"Of course…!" I confidently said but I pause when tried to remember their face, weird…I just saw them earlier but why? Why can't I remember them?

"…I…can't remember" my confidence suddenly went down; I lowered my head as I force myself to remember.

But when I heard next her word, I couldn't help but dumbfound.

"You forgot about them?" she said "Just make something up" she added, and I heard her quiet laugh.

I quickly look up at her with my eyes widened in disbelief, am I hearing things?

""Just make something up"? Are you kidding me? I can't make something up! They're my parents!" I shouted at her; I could feel my anger rise as I continue to look at her. Is she crazy?!

"It's easy for you to say that because your parents don't love you!" I couldn't but shout when my anger exploded, even though I know I was crossing the line but she was the first one to cross the line!

Suddenly I felt the atmosphere turning cold, I look at her and I saw her cold eyes staring at me.

She smiles at me but her smile didn't reach her eyes, she stands up and walks toward me. Due to the sudden heavy pressure I felt, I subconsciously step back as she steps forward.

[Bang]

The sound of a fist hitting my face echoed in the living room, luckily, the couch was behind me so I can land safely.

The girl didn't let go of any opportunity and quickly pinned me from the couch.

"Listen here you bitch, you're crossing the line here" She grab my collar as she cursed at me while frowning, our faces were so close together that I can stare at her black forever.

"Look who's talking! You're the one who cross the line first" I said back to her as I glared at her, I tried pushing her but didn't work, I grab her shirt and kick her in the stomach with my knees.

I was set free, I hurriedly stand up and run away, fearing she would beat me up again.

As I run upstairs, I took a quick look at her and saw her only glaring at me but didn't attempt to chase me.

'Ha! Now she finally realizes it's her fault---ouch, ah, that hurts' the sudden pain on my cheek causes me to stop, I slowly place my hand on my cheek carefully so as not to get hurt again.

'I hope they have an ice here' I mulled over as I walk to the hallway, 'is ice even allowed on my cheek?' I pondered as I close the door.

Everything inside the room was new to me, even though the girl said that this had been abandoned for 3 years, there hasn't even a speck of dust can be seen in this room.

I look around before I saw a fridge looking built-in inside the wall, I slowly walked toward it in this messy room.

'Although this room doesn't have a speck of dust that can be seen this sure is messy, this really proves that this neighborhood has been abandoned'

As I walked toward it, I felt something on my feet causing me to trip. The side of my face where I got punched is where I fall, touching my cheeks.

I could only scream in muffle as I felt the pain, I hurriedly stand up and gritted my teeth to endure the pain.

"Argghhh…!! It hurts! How unlucky am I?!" I shouted in pain; tears are forming in my eyes as my cheek ached in pain.

[Sniff]

I wipe my nose with my backhand as I sniff, I then walk to the fridge and open it. My eyes widen when the hologram appeared in the fridge but that was not the reason why my eyes widen, the reason is that the fridge was full of chips and drinks.

And it's not expired except for the others, which means…someone entered this house before?

Although someone is going here constantly, I didn't mind it as I think of this house as a hotel or motel where I only stay for a few days. Surely the owner wouldn't enter this house when we're in here right? I hope not.

"Ice…ice..ice" I muttered to myself as I swipe to the hologram, finding where the ice is. In the corner of my eyes, I saw the search button which makes me feel like an idiot.

Feeling desperate, I quickly search for ice. Luckily, there is but as soon as I pick the ice, my eyes widen again.

'Make? You're going to make ice?! Wouldn't that take long?' I thought to myself, feeling confused since make is the only button I can see.

I hesitantly click the make button; the hologram disappears causing me to flinch slightly. After waiting for a second, thinking that I would wait for hours, as I was about to leave, I heard the fridge make a sound.

I look and saw something open with the hologram appeared, the hologram appeared with options in it.

As I read the options, I felt amazed by how futuristic is this. Regular ice cube? Different shape ice cube? Ice cube in a bag? And many more.

I click the ice cube in a bag, and suddenly, a bag with an ice cube appeared in the open area of the fridge.

I touch the bag and it is indeed cold, I grab it and carefully place it on my cheek. The sudden cold caused me to shiver when it touches my cheek, I gritted my teeth as I place the bag back on my cheek as sat down.

'Ugh…I'm hungry' I thought to myself as I felt my stomach rumbling, I stand up and grab a couple of chips from the fridge and went back to the bed.

I comfortably sat down on the bed, I open the chips and took a handful of chips. I was so hungry that I didn't notice the pain in my cheek and kept eating chips.

After a long time of eating, I lay down on the bed. My eyelids suddenly felt heavy, I tried to resist sleeping but soon gave up and went into...

A nightmare…
