Chapter 2
•ꕤ•It all started since a year ago, I started hearing whispers in my head.
I'd get scared of staying alone in my room as if someone was walking in my room..
Someone I couldn't see was under my bed.
Even I'd feel like I'm being watched but, when I would turn to look every time...
My sleeping hours started decreasing for which I found myself constantly irritated.
Sometimes, I could sleep but in the morning, I would find small drops of blood under my bed, in the corners of the room.
It could have been a cat killing a mouse?
The truth was quite the opposite. We had no cats in the house. There was no menace of mice either.
I used to see shadows from afar gazing into my soul.
I never believe in shamans though I yielded once to my auntie's pleas when nothing worked for me.
Edith Jayson
Irisé...This is the shaman I talked about..
Shaman
Always wear this. Never take it off.
Your problem will soon disappear, child. Have faith in God.
When no Medicine could help my problem.•ꕤ•
•ꕤ•However, this problem has significantly decreased over the past few months thanks to the psychiatrist uncle found this time.
I can finally sleep in peace.•ꕤ•
Edith Jayson
Irisé honey, have another toast.
Irisella Aizen
No, aunt. I'm nearly full.
•ꕤ•This is my precious auntie, Edith Jayson who doted on me since I was a child.
Hector Jayson
Irisella, my niece, you should take care of yourself from now. High school is starting soon. We got you seats in the hostel alongside Pariya.
And my amazing uncle, Hector Jayson. They love me a lot like their daughter Pariya.
Irisella Aizen
Thank you, uncle.
•With a slight snicker, Pariya spoke up slowly biting into the bread that she personally spread butter unto:
Pariya Jayson
Here I thought, you went nuts again, Irisella.
Irisella couldn't but help sigh.
Irisella Aizen
Erhmm.. I'm fine now.
•Pariya was somewhat irritated at being unable to rile her up. But, before she could retort, Edith looked at Irisella:
Edith Jayson
Will you be fine living outside like that? I can't help but worry about you.
Pariya Jayson
She's not a baby, mom.
Hector Jayson
No matter how big children are, parents get worried.«Smile»
But, I hope you won't have any difficulty there, my niece. Do call us if you are feeling uneasy.
Irisella Aizen
Alright. «Smiles»
•Pariya puffed biting in the bread.•
Pariya Jayson
Just whose parents are you? «Mumble»
•ꕤ•I knew Pariya wasn't an easy character however, she has always been near me. She's not that bad at heart.
My dad passed away due to illness many years ago. My mom's condition isn't good.
She can't recognise me to begin with due to her amnesia from a car accident. She's pretty much hospital bound.
My uncle's family took me in and raised me ever since. Sometimes I wonder if I'm burdening them..•ꕤ•
•ꕤ•But what would I do without them?•ꕤ•
Pariya Jayson
Hey!! Come in, hurry!!
•Irisella quickly followed her in the bullet train. Summer break had come to an end.
•ꕤ•Soon our stop came. We both go to different schools.
Pariya studies at Gyeongdong high while I go to Yongsan high. Our hostels were nearby our respective school buildings.
•ꕤ•In fact, we had to head there 2 days prior.•ꕤ•
Pariya Jayson
📞You alright there? My room's nice. Send a picture over.
Pariya would call me in the evening to see if I was able to adjust to my circumstances or not.
Irisella Aizen
📞My room's pretty decent too. It's on the 3rd floor.
• Irisella was walking inside her room no. 308 to take a good photo in a nice angle before she sent it.
Pariya Jayson
📞 I'm envious now. Dad really got you a nice room for a scaredycat. Here I don't have the luxury of having a room all to myself. I have roommates which you lack.
Irisella Aizen
📞 Uhh..«Flinch» No way, Pariya...? I'm alone?
Pariya Jayson
📞 Yeah. I heard they don't support house mating. Relax there. If you feel cramped, just call me—
•The chatter was heard from Pariya's background.•
Pariya Jayson
📞 Talk to you later. My friends' are annoying..me. «Hung up»
