DISCOVERY

Ella sighed and lay on the bed, she smiled at Sandy who was also lying beside her. Suddenly, she stood up and walked towards the mirror. She gasped when she saw her face. This was the first time she had seen her face.

The girl staring back at her from the mirror was a real beauty, she had very long wavy silver platinum hair with a pink highlight, and her eyes were blue, she smiled and frowned, then smiled again before frowning.

Sandy was amused, ever since Emily woke up she had become cold and the only expressions she had been showing were just two. Sighing, she stood up and walked towards her. She didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Did I dye my hair?" Emily turned and faced Sandy while frowning. Sandy frowned, "Nope, you, my girl, are a born beauty, your hair is natural, but unfortunately everybody thought you dyed it. That's the reason you have so many haters; they are simply jealous."

"Hm." Emily hummed in response, she was a real beauty in her past life too, but her hair was naturally purple.

She turned and walked towards the bed and lay down, "I am hungry." She pointed at her stomach and smiled.

Sandy chuckled, "What do you want to eat?" she walked towards the fridge and opened it.

"Meat." Emily licked her lips. Ever since she woke up in this place she had not had any taste of meat, and her body was craving it.

Sandy nodded and started bringing out the frozen meat. She bought out two packs before pushing others in, "Make it five." She heard Emily's voice behind her, she giggled before bringing out another three. She stood up and walked towards the kitchen-like place and started cooking.

"You know, I have been wondering who on Earth built a tent like this, and how on Earth did he do it? Oh! And why does the fridge function without any electricity?"

Sandy was about to bring out the meats, but her hand froze. She turned to Emily, "You don't remember?" Sandy was surprised. She doubted Emily when she said that she had lost her memories, but now she was asking about her invention. That means she was not lying.

"Emily?" Sandy started to say before she was interrupted by Emily.

Emily raised her eyebrows, "Cook and talk." although she wanted to hear the story, food was more important, so the only thing she could come up with was to let Sandy cook and also tell her more about herself since she only needed her hands to cook.

Sandy beamed before continuing cooking, "Everyone knows your dad as the most powerful and successful inventor, and his daughter the useless prodigal daughter that does nothing, but spends every money her father has. But nobody would expect that everything Mr Noah Hunter invents was invented by his daughter Emily Hunter."

Emily frowned, she remembered when she woke up the girl in front of her told her that she had only spent a lot of money and nothing else, so she started preparing to eat and sleep when she would leave this stupid island. But now she was also saying that she is also an inventor? What sort of logic is that, what about all the food and sleep she deserves? She looked at her hands and frowned. It looked clean without any injury, so how can she be considered an investor?

Sandy had already stopped cooking, she was looking at the complicated expressions that Emily was showcasing. She giggled before continuing her voice got Emily out of her thoughts, "When you heard the school announced the journey. You paid to extend it to a month, then you started planning how to spend it well while feeling comfortable. You started inventing this tent. You stayed at the invention lab for a week. Nobody was allowed to enter, including your father. When you finished, you fainted and stayed bedridden for three days."

Emily yawned and looked at Sandy again. She hated it whenever she felt hungry.

Sandy chuckled, "You invented everything that was inside the tent. I don't know how you did it, but you did. You also invented a small remote. You said that it controls everything inside this tent, how it functions, and what shape the tent was supposed to be. The most wonderful thing is how the remote functions. It can make the tent smaller to fit inside a jean pocket. When we first arrived here, you bought it out of your pocket and kept it on the floor, then you pressed the remote and it became bigger. Everyone was jealous, they thought this was your father's latest invention, but because you are his daughter, you are the only one who used it first."

Emily looked at Sandy, a remote. Her inventing something like that? her? her? someone as lazy as her? A killer like her? That's absurd. Even if it is true, then it is absurd, to invent a hotel-like tent and a remote that controls everything. More absurd, she bit her lips just so she wouldn't laugh. She opened her mouth to say something, but she ended up drooling.

The smell coming out of the kitchen was mouth-watery, she didn't know what Sandy was cooking, but she knew it would be delicious.

"Done!" Sandy excitedly carried five plates at once and walked towards Emily, how did she carry the plates? That is what Emily didn't know, she placed everything on the bed and smiled, "This is called steak, it is delicious. I don't know how you like your steak so I cooked it in different ways."

Emily waved her hand, she didn't care what the name was or how she cooked it, she only wanted to eat the food and rejoice.

Emily picked up the fork, she swallowed and raised the fork, she took a bite and frowned, and then she smiled, she didn't wait for Sandy before eating everything, but in slow motion just so she could enjoy the food for a long time.

Suddenly she stood up, she walked towards the door and opened it, the smell from inside the tent started lingering around, everyone that smelt it gulped, they were hungry but scared.

Emily smiled and walked back to her food. She started eating again. Sandy was curious, "Why did you do that?"

Emily frowned, why is she interrupting her dinner?" What?" Sandy was amused, it seemed like she had started understanding the expression of Emily. "Why did you open the door?"

Emily smiled, "Just so they could smell and want, but they won't have them." Understanding what she meant, Sandy giggled, she finished eating and waited for Emily to finish hers, and then she picked up the plates and washed them, together they slept off after closing the door.

A figure was standing outside while frowning. The figure was holding a plate, and there was food inside it. He frowned and threw the food away, he turned and walked back towards his tent. He wanted her to want him again, but she had started becoming distant.

Three hours later.

"Come, come to me, come to me." Emily stood up, she walked towards the door, and opened it. She turned and walked towards the sea like a possessed person.

"Yessssss, come hissss just a little bit closer hissss." The voice immediately changed like the voice of a woman and a snake.

Emily was still walking like she wasn't in control of her body, she was walking closer and closer towards the sea. Suddenly she stopped and grinned.

"Disturbing my sleep, not having any food to give me, and lastly, being one of the creatures that I distaste, a snake? What will be your punishment?"

No hissss, you were enchanted hisssss, my power is not that weak hisssss." the voice sounded angry and confused, Emily beamed, "I was taking it, I wanted to ignore you, but thinking maybe you would have food, I decided to play along, but sadly you are just a stupid sea creature that does not have food, how do you want to be punished?"

"hissss what does a mortal think she will do hissss just because you can't be possessed by me hissss." the creature was angry now.

"Just show yourself." Emily rolled her eyes, "Show yourself if you are not scared of me."

The sea became quiet, suddenly a woman could be seen coming out from it. She walked towards Emily while smiling. When she came closer, Emily took a good look at her, she was a beautiful young woman, she was dressed like a sea princess, her golden hair was long, so long that Emily was wondering how long it was since she couldn't see it. Her hair was so long that it was still in the sea.

Emily smiled, "Hi, have any food?"

The sea creature chuckled, "I am Rain hissss, the crown princess of the sea hissss." she proudly said. When she opened her mouth, Emily could see her tongue was snake-like.

"Okay? So got any food?" Emily was annoyed. Rain was surprised. She wasn't expecting a mortal to be calm in front of her. She opened her mouth and a black smoke came out, covering Emily's entire face. She smiled and closed it. This time the mortal will be her puppet.

Ack, ack, ack, ack

"Are you insane?" Emily was coughing, she was waving her hands to remove the black smoke, "You can just say no, that you have no food. Why do you have to open your mouth and give me a smelly black smoke?"

Rain became surprised, her black smoke never fails, it has enchanted a lot of mortals, but why not this girl? "Who are you hissss?" she was curious to know who the girl was.

"Emily Hunter, nice to meet you." Emily smiled and bought out her hand for a shake, Rain hissss, she didn't know what that meant.

Emily smiled and sat down, "Why are you killing people?" Rain frowned, although she has enchanted a lot of mortals, she has never killed them. "I have never killed anyone hissss." She sat beside Ella.

"Yesterday night, you killed a student." Emily frowned.

Rain hissss, "That wasn't me hissss, I was not here yesterday hissss, my father caught me leaving and stopped me hissss."

"Then how did you know me?"

"My friend said a mortal insulted them hissss, she wanted me to teach you a lesson hissss that's the reason I came here hissss." Rain explained.

Emily smiled, "looks like you have a bad friend. Cut them off. I will be leaving tomorrow. It is so sad to leave a new friend."

Rain hissss. She was feeling embarrassed, "You want me as a friend, even though I tried possessing you hissss? And yes, I know my friend was bad, but she is the only friend I have hissss."

Emily smiled, "You now have me. I am your friend now, although I will be leaving tomorrow, but I will always be your friend, a real one."

Rain hissss, "Okay." she hid her flushed face and smiled.

Emily yawned and stood up, "I need to go and sleep some more, bye." she stood up and started walking towards her tent.

"The forest is dangerous hissss, be careful hissss." Rain yelled.

Emily turned and smiled, "I know." she yelled back before going inside her tent.

Rain turned and frowned, it seemed like it was the end of her friendship with that arrogant girl that feeds on mortals every day. She had always wanted to end things but was scared of being alone. She smiled and walked back towards the sea, she turned into a giant snake and dived into the sea, then she turned into half human and half snake.
