alica's Point of view

*time check 6:34 pm*

"are you sure you want to continue your studies there, there's so much more prestigious school here"-Alica's mom, Mrs. Mary

"Yup, I always wanted to study there even if it's not private and so on, besides I won't inherit our company, so I don't need to have a perfect paper and attend some prestigious school"-Alica

(and I've been waiting for this day, for me to go back to our hometown)

"'sigh', ok then as you wish my dearest daughter, but if something went wrong you have to contact me ASAP, are we clear"-Mrs. Mary

"Alright mom, now lemme pack my things, now"-Alica

"lemme help you, alright"-Mrs. Mary

"ok then"-Alica

**an hour later, time check 7:36 pm*

"I'm gonna miss you, dear"-Mrs. Mary

"Yeah we're gonna miss you sister"- Alica's two brothers, Alex and Alexis

(they are twin)

"stay safe, call us if you need something"-Alica's stepdad, Mr. Andrew

"ok, I'm gonna miss y'all too,"-Alica

"But sis can we at least take you to the airport,plsss"-Alexis

"it's alright I can handle it"-Alica

"ok..."-Alex

"now now, let's not be too sentimental, or your sister will miss her flight"-Mr. Andrew

"I agree, it's not like your sister won't come back"-Mrs. Mary

"hmmm.."-Alexis and Alex

"bye-bye sis/dear"-Them*

"hmm. bye 👋"-Alica

'And so Alica goes in the car that was waiting for her'

*30 minutes later, T.C, 8:03 pm*

"Hmm, did I arrive too early perhaps"-Alica

"it's just on time young miss"-Mr. Felix

(it's a guard that is assigned to guard her for the time being)

"that's good then"-Alica

"this way plss, Young miss"-Felix

"ok"-Alica

*fast forward to, when she arrives, T.C 5:53 am*

" your awake now, Young miss, it's time to get off, we've arrived"-Felix

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier*yawns* ok then, is the car ready?"-Alica

"I'm sorry young miss, it's because your sleeping so deeply that I can't get myself to wake you up,

and yes young miss, everything is already set, we're just waiting for you"-Felix

"hmm..thanks Felix, and just call me Alica"-Alica

"I'm afraid I can't address you informally, young miss,

and no need to say thanks, it's our duty to serve you,"-Felix

"hmmm..what a pity, ok then, shall we go now?"-Alica

"yes, of course, young miss"-Felix

"Hihi"-Alica

*on the way to their old house*

"Felix, can we stop at the restaurant over there? I'm hungry, and aren't y'all hungry too? you all should eat with me"-Alica

"of course we could, young miss, and as for me I'm not hungry yet, I don't know about the other."-Felix

"oh, but I'll be lonely if no one would eat with me don't you think so?"-Alica

"hmm, I'll tell them to eat with you, young miss"-Felix

"what about you?"-Felix

"hmm, I'll eat later, young miss.."-Felix

(acting cute won't work eh, aren't they hungry after working too much and waking up so early, they are much older than me, so do they can hold it in I suppose)-Alica

"ok then.."-Alica

*Fast forward to when they arrive at the old town on the way to their old house*

(the house is near the old town at the side of the mountain)

"young miss I'm afraid we have to walk from here"-Felix

"is that so? btw are you sure this is the right place?"-Alica

"yes, young miss, is there a problem perhaps?"-Felix

"no, there's no problem, it's just I didn't expect it to change this much, umm it's so not clean..?"-Alica

(hmm I didn't expect this, well things change over time but to think.., that a peaceful quiet and beautiful place that I know exist, became like an old town full of fallen leaves and fruits that is rotten!?

that's it I'mma hire someone to clean this place up, but is it alright to do that if it's not our place?)

"young miss..?"-Felix

"oh, sorry Felix I spaced out a bit there, shall we?"-Alica

"be careful, young miss you could trip"-Felix

"hmm.."-Alica

"Felix what do you think about this town?"-Alica

"hmm, a little cleaning, should do and it'll be better I guess.."-Felix

"hmm.. ahh btw I hardly see anyone, what time is it now?"-Alica

"it's almost 7:00 now, Young miss"-Felix

"is that so, weird how come there's no one here?"-Alica

"do you want me to send someone to check it out? Young miss?"-Felix

"no, there's no need, btw we are almost there, let's hurry up I'm tired.."-Alica

"yes Young miss"-Felix

'few minutes later'

"WoW, it feels like time stopped here!"-Alica

(i didn't change the slightest, i wonder if the garden too...)-Alica

"welcome back, Young miss"-someone

"uhhhh?"-Alica

"i am lily, young miss, and I'll be you're personal maid, from now on,"-Lily

"ummm, hi, i guess.., you look kinda familiar..?"-Alica

"i have been working here for so many years ever since you were 3 years of age, so that must be it, young miss"-Lily

"is that so..."-Alica

"ahh, silly me, please come in young miss, i already prepared everything beforehand, so if you need something, call me."-Lily

"thanks lily, you can just call me by my name, alica will do"-Alica

"I'm afraid I can't, Young miss, but if it's just us two if you don't mind"-Lily

"thanks lily, umm I'm going yo my room, now, I'll talk to you later,"-Alica

"yes, young miss"-Lily

*at the old house, T.C 10:08 am*

Alica's POV

'yawn' "hmmm?"-Alica

(ahhhh, I need to take a shower now, I'm too tired and fall asleep the moment I lay down,

btw, I wonder who cleaned this house, it's like a new house It don't feel old actually, anyway I have to take a shower now I stink, and after I eat I'm going to the garden, then go to the town tomorrow )

*after taking a bath and getting ready*

'knock knock'

(hmm..?)

"come in"-Alica

"excuse me, young miss, would you like to eat your lunch early perhaps?"-Lily (a maid)

"sure thing, Lily, I'm kinda hungry now, and umm lily, can you prepare some sandwiches for me, and of course a mat I can use for a picnic, I'm going somewhere later"-Alica

"yes, of course, I can Young miss"-Lily

"Thanks, Lily"-Alica

"you're welcome, young miss, it is my job to serve you"-Lily

*After eating lunch, T.C 10:53 am*

" I'm going now, see you all later"-Alica

"Are you sure, it's fine even if I don't go with you, young miss?"-Felix

"yes, I'm not going downtown yet, I'm going somewhere else,

you can follow me downtown next time, besides this place is safe, and people here know about me,"-Alica

(the people downtown went to the beach, as in all of them so no one was there, actually, they went there yesterday and stay at the beach overnight, if you're wondering how do I know that, it's because Felix found it out for me, even though I said not to, and that's also why the town isn't clean, cause no one was there, for a whole day)

"ok then, young miss"-Felix

"thanks"-Alica

(now, I should get going)

* a few minutes later, somewhere at the mountain*

(oh, gosh I'm freaking lost!!!!!,

if I remember correctly there should be a path here nearby hmmm.. ahh found it, now just follow the trails, wait oh no! is it left or right?

come on, wait I should go right, didn't they always say, always go to the right path, but some things telling me to go left! what do I do, ahh nevermind, imma go down to left!!)-Alica

'5minutes later'

(now, where am I again, I think I went past by this place a while ago,' sigh' should I just go back?

no!, I have to find- I mean I have to go to that special place of ours 'today', but for now, let me just find a place to sit first, I'm tired I have to rest too yah know,

hmm this place should be fine, I'm planning to eat these sandwiches when I got there, but to think I have to eat it now...,

btw, this place feels familiar for some reason, I mean I've been here before so it familiar right, 🤔 let's see...

ahhh!! I remember it now, hmm there should be a big tree with a drawing in it near this big stone I'm sitting..., is it this one?, let's see, 'AxL', and 'i miss you', AxL? and I miss you? what's that supposed to mean? I miss you Axel? or something?

if I remember correctly the picture we drew on the tree is a stick figure of two people in a tree, but I swear this tree is the one we drew that picture on, maybe it on the other side of the tree,

aha!! found it, told you it's here,...

wait who am I talking to?

anyway, if this picture is on this side, then the way should be right, yeah it's right, I remember it now after going Right, there's a purple flower at the side of the road then a wall like trees and there's. a door somewhere and a garden inside of it, hmm that's right, let's get going now)-Alica

'on the way

(gosh why do I have a bad feeling now that I'm almost there, should I just go back?, no I'm just being paranoid because I'm alone in a forest with food and.., ahh could it be a wolf is following me or something?!!,

ahh... I just realized there's no wild animal that is living in this mountain, and I'm not Lil red riding hood-)-Alica

'Crack'

(hmm, I think it's just umm wind, yeah wind haha-ha, anyway I should get going now and forget about it and just forget about it...

RUN!!!!!!)-Alica

'meanwhile'

Felix POV

(a while ago)

"I'm going now, see you all later"-Alica

"Are you sure, it's fine even if I don't go with you, young miss?"

(i wonder where is young miss going..)-Felix

"yes, I'm not going downtown yet, I'm going somewhere else,

you can follow me downtown next time, besides this place is safe, and people here know about me,"-Alica

"ok then, young miss"

(i should follow her, it's not good if something happens,

I'm sorry young miss I have to do this, even if you don't want me to)

"thanks"-Alica

"are you sure you want to follow her?"-Lily

(how did she?)

"yeah... it's not good if I leave her be"-Felix

"I see then, good luck, try not to be seen by Young miss, it's been a while since she last been here, so she must have missed this place and her old friends"-Lily

"I know what to do no worries, I'm going to go now, see yah"-Felix

(let's get going now, wonder where is she going)

'a a few minutes later

(she's been walking around for a few minutes now, where is she going, she looks uneasy, could it be she's lost, I should-

'try not to be seen by Young miss, it's been a while since she last been here, so she must have missed this place and her old friends'- (end of flashback

No! I need to restraint myself, ahh.. she's moving now, I need to follow her quick.)

'5 minutes later

( she really is lost, what do I do, should I just go there, no! I just wait, for now,

ehhh did she find something? what is she doing?

A tree? ohh she finds something but, why does she look so confused?

oh she's going somewhere I need to follow her ASAP)-Felix

'crack'

(oh no,

ahh, she ran away I need to get there too, what do I do ah I guess I have no choice but to-, hays no I need to follow her secretly...

wow this place looks so beautiful, but where is this? and where's young miss, ohh she must have go in there...

there she is-, what happened I just lost her like. a minute, why does she look sad all of a sudden, and wait now why is she as if nothing happened, where is she going?

is young miss has some sort of a massive mood swing,

ah I didn't notice there's another person here, and two at that, they must be friends or siblings, but it doesn't look like it

who is it I wonder)- Felix

Alica's POV

(ha!, ahh I didn't notice I'm already here,

but hey, now that I think about it, there must be someone cleaning this place, but there's only three people who know this place, it's only me him and our other friend that knows this place, cause this mountain is my grandmother's property to be precise it's private property so there's no one who can just always come and go here....,

nevermind, imma just go in already

WoW, it is still the same as 10 years ago, eh who's that, I didn't notice them, ahh.. no that.. can't be,

''sigh' no! it must be another town person I didn't know, lemme talk to them)-Alica

"excuse me..?"-Alica

"hmm, yes..?"-girl

"Who are you? and what are you doing here, this place is a private"

(imma just scare them a little bit hihi, a little intimidating me in action,

but hey.. turn out it's not him, the boy just looks like him, thank goodness....)

"just so you know you can't be here, or else you'll end up miserably"(am I too much..?)-Alica

"then what about you what are you doing here?"-boy

"yeah.."-girl

"I live near here, and this place is my garden"-Alica

"But I never saw you before, are you a ghost that lives near here perhaps,

long shiny black hair, your skin is pale as Snow, you have a red lip apple-like, and in white dress on top of that"-girl

"pfft, a ghost doesn't exist, what are you even doing here, and who are you two?"-Alica

"I'm Michael, and this girl beside me is Monica"-Michael

"pleasure to meet you, ms ghost"-Monica

"Just call me Alica,"-Alica

"then, it's nice to meet you ms Alica"-Michael

"Are you rich? you said this place is you said this beautiful garden is yours"-Monica

"Monica-"-Michael

"it's alright, well kinda, and to be precise this garden is not just mine, only three people know this garden, well i guess it's five now, we just found it here when we are playing adventure, then at that time, we came across this place, it must be our ancestors garden or something"-Alica

"three? you and who's the other two?"-Monica

"it's Liam, Sil, and I, Liam look just like you Michael, but he has blue eyes, like the sky..."-Alica

" blue eyes like the sky, white hair like snow.. named Liam"-Monica and Michael

(?)-Alica

"ms Alica..your talking about my brother/Mikey's brother?!"-Monica and Michael

"pardon, did you just say brother? but Liam doesn't have a younger brother-"

(no, at that time.. could it be.. there's only one way to find out..)-Alicia

"Why did you stop talking ms Alica?"-Michael

"Oh. it's noting, can I ask you something Michael"-Alica

"yeah, you can ask anything"-Michael

"so umm, your father who is it..?"

(did I say it too bluntly..)-Alica

"Ohh, my father's name is James, James Carter, why?"-Michael

"Ohh, it's nothing.. hihi"

(they have the same father so it's not what I'm thinking..)-Alica

"ahh btw you never answered my question, how did you two get here?"

(imma just change the topic first)-Alica

"Ohh about that we were playing and got lost, it's about a year or so ago and then we came across this garden"-Monica

"is that so.."-Alica

"umm ms Alica, can we still come here, it's alright if you don't want us to.."-Monica

"Ohh no it's alright, just come here whenever you like, weren't you two cleaning this place while I'm gone, I thank you for that.."-Alica

"ehhh.. but we don't clean this place not even once before, it's always clean though so we thought it's the owner who is cleaning it up"-Michael

"wait.. what-"-Alica

"yes, Michael is telling the truth, I even thought it's a magic garden at first, cause it's so beautiful and clean, like something out of a fairytale"-Monica

"who, could it be then... I wonder..."-Alica

"Who knows maybe someone you know... ms Alica, haha-ha"-Michael

"hmm yeah..., btw wanna visit my house?"-Alica

"sure, I wanna see your house"-Monica

"ok I guess".."-Michael

"let's go... "-Alica

'then they left'

'meanwhile somewhere at the garden'

(ha! finally they left, who even is that girl, she's pretty, wait that girl looks familiar...

ahhh! back to the business, guess I don't need to clean it today imma just go back tomorrow dawn,

why did I even agree to this... I regret it.. huhu)-someone??
