Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

It's still cold out there, perhaps Winter is just beginning to fade away, it will take more time. It is strange how these seasons come and go and then return again. Okay looks like it's time for me to buy something to eat. I have been working on my computer, and it has not happened to me that it's already 5pm now. Seems like I skipped lunch. Well, I can't say it is something which surprises me. I put on some black leather gloves, and a long jacket, which is high up to my throat, and a mask. It is not me being fancy but the cold. Soon enough I found myself in the parking of the hotel where I was staying. Skyline I murmured to myself while I came out of the old parking lot, before the entrance I decided to take a glance at the neon glowing name plate of the hotel I was staying at. Soon I made my way to a restaurant, It's good that they accept payment in cash. I ordered schnitzel and some noodles. Upon getting my food, I chose the corner most seats for me. I put down my mast and take the smell of the food, indeed a good meal can heal anyone day. I can't imagine if something had gone wrong again, I would have lost the opportunity to have this meal. Glancing my cell phone one last time, I resume eating my food. I almost finished my food when I noticed a girl not more than 8 years old. She was looking at me, outside the transparent glass wall. I speculate about the situation and whether I should consider going to that girl and ask about her presence. In the end, I decided to walk up to her. As expected she turned around directly looking at me now.

Hello. I said. What are you all alone doing here? But to my disappointment, she only stared at my face. Are you hungry? I asked as she was here outside the restaurant. I am lost. She confessed looking down with a sad face. I see. Have you tried calling your Guardian? She looks at me with visible confusion, I must confess that I almost forgot she is just a kid. I apologise you may not have a cell phone yet. And I am assuming you don't know your way home either as you mentioned earlier that you are lost. I must ask you how did you get lost, and what are you aiming to do afterwards? The girl stayed silent for a movement. I don't know. Can you help me? She looked up to me. I was here with my Daddy, and he got a phone call and left me here. Likewise, I pause to process the given information. I see. Did your father tell you when he might be back? I watch her shaking her head as no. I really don't know how to approach the current situation. I decided to accompany the little girl till her father returns.

so, what is your name? Lucy. She said. We had ourselves seated on a bench outside of the restaurant. I like tulips. Lucy mentions looking at a flower shop across from the restaurant. I see. There are good flowers.

I want to have a closer look at them. She said with amusement. But weren't you sad to go home? I was, but that old lady looked tired. Yes but she is just doing her job. Okay, perhaps it wouldn't be that bad to look at those flowers. I announced while looking at my cell phone as everything seems good, and I have time, I can take a look at those flowers.

We went to the shop across the road and Lucy picked up a white tulip, she does seem like them a lot. Then someone comes running to the owner of the shop. An old lady. Luther! Something happened! I saw. It was there. That creature! Taking a look at the person, it seems to me that he had run here upon being afraid of some creature? What? Luther! My boy. Noo. The old lady cries. What shall I do. It took my boy. She cries more. I try to observe the situation in my head. There is a boy named Luther, and he is abducted by some creature? Seems like someone has been abducting people in this place pertaining been some kind of creature. The situation doesn't concern me personally, but it did pique my curiosity to learn more. what creature? Ma'am you should calm down. Can you explain the situation with a little details. Later Lucy's father comes. I told him it is dangerous to leave a child alone in unknown places and he replied while scratching the back of his hairs that it wouldn't happen again. I found myself willingly participating in this current event. A creature abducted a human? Interesting.
