Familiarity

Emilia's P.O.V

I woke up the second time, after forcing myself to sleep even though I just had a bad dream…

I was fine, I mean, I expected to have some body aches or something, but I was totally fine.

Wait a minute. The sun was shining, but it wasn't shining on me. That's when I took the initiative to look around. I was inside a house.

"Water". Some said with an outstretched glass of water in hand.

I looked at the owner of the couch, and hand of course, and he looked familiar. "You..".I pointed as I suddenly remembered he was the guy alpha D was talking to that day she got injured in the woods.

"Simon". He introduced himself with a smile. What's making this one smile? I wanted to scoff. Does he think that Hy smiling that way and trying to be nice by offering me a glass of water, that I'd like him?

Pftt, impossible.i held the strong urge to scoff at his efforts. It was a total waste of time if I'm being honest.

"Won't you take the water?". He asked

I got out of the bed ignoring his question. "Why am I here? And where am I? Why are you here?".

"Whoah, take a chill pill. Okay". He dropped the glass. "This is kinda where I live, you're in my house, and you're here because I found you at the back of the house, and it was dangerous out there".

Again, I wanted to scoff and tell him that the rsl danger was him, but I held it in.

"You seem to harbour some kind of grudge for me". He pointed at my lips. "Your lips have been twitching in an unfriendly manner". He commented.."Plus, your body language". He quickly added..

"What if I do?".

"Then go ahead and tell me", he said and waited for me to speak, but I said absolutely nothing.."Hmm, is it because I carried you home that day? Your sister was probably angry, I could tell she was though. She probably scolded you! Is that it?". He asked. "I had no choice, you wee unconscious". He defended and I rolled my eyes.

Why am I even standing here listening to this guy? I walked past him. "Rain is pouring heavily. It's the rainy season". He said. "Majorly the reason I brought you in". He sat on the bed.. "Relax, I don't bite". He winked. "Well, you have no other choice but you relax, unless of course, you want to walk under the rain, but I bet your sister won't open the door for you, am I right?"..

"Hmm, you feel you know me too well. Terrific". I clapped my hands and he chuckled..

"The little I've seen is enough to tell the rest of the story".

Well, he was not wrong on that one, but I want going to tell him that..

"Do… you live here alone?". I asked. Wasn't this the same house I was brought to by Alpha D. That's why it looked familiar huh? But if this was the house, then where was the old lady?

"If you're asking about the old woman you saw previously, well, she passed away".,

"Passsed away? Sorry about that". Even though I didn't like him, I couldn't help but sympathize with him.

"Wow, she's being nice". He smiled.

I sighed. "Is she your grandma?".

"Well, we could say that". He replied after thinking about it for a brief moment..

"I see". I sat down on the bed. Recalling something,and seeing no better person to ask, I asked him "Whats the nearest town from here, and how do I get there?". He narrowed his eyes at me .

"Why would you want to know that?".

"Let's just say I intend on running away". I didn't know why I wasn't even using horrific with this guy. I just spoke causally with him, like he was a pal or something.

"mm, why? You don't like it here?". He asked, and I just stared blankly at him. Was he some kind of soup or secret agent assigned by alpha D to make me spit out bad words? "Well, regarding your question, I won't advice you to run away, and definitely not there too. I'll get you breakfast". He said and walked away..

It's dangerous? I was already in a dangerous place, so what's up with the extra warning? With a sigh, I shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Maybe it was because I was tired or the rain just made the weather nice, but I slept for a really long time, and when I woke up, it was already night, so I just laid back until I fell asleep again

The next morning, I woke up, yawning widely. I had just realised that I didn't get any nightmares. Why didn't I? It wasn't like I enjoyed having those nightmares, but the fact I kept having them, but last night I didn't,was a real bother.

Simon entered the room with a tray in hand. "breakfast. You haven't eaten since yesterday". He dropped the tray in front of me. "I wouldn't have believed it if someone had told me that you didn't eat for a whole day, but I witnessed it, so…". He shrugged.

"Why wouldn't you believe it?".

"You're fat". Was that a tease or was he serious. I looked down at myself. Never! I wasn't fat, although you could say I had more flesh than most girls would. My boobs were perkier, and my ass was rounder and bugger than most girls', but fat? No!!

"Excuse you? I'm not fat". I retorted..

"Okau". He replied, with his hands up, but it didn't seem like he believed. His okay sounded so sarcastic.

I dropped the matter, ate the food, then looked out the window. The rain has stopped.

"Not like I asked for any of these, but thanks". I said.

"You're welcome".

I set out to look for the town . This time, I asked a few people, and finally knew my way to get there. It wasn't that hard..

After walking for probably thirty or forty minutes, I was in the next town. I felt a surge of satisfaction. This place felt so familiar. The feeling was similar to when I came to wittilech for the first time. Familiarity!

I was in the town now, but how I find that man when I don't even know who he is? Maybe I made a mistake coming here?

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have come here. I just wasted about forty minutes coming here for nothing. I should have been back there, probably taking a shower,zaddy and getting a change of cloth. I've been wearing the same dress flr theee days now. Just as I was about to leave, I saw that strangely familiar figure.
