EPISODE 2 : A HOME

It was Tuesday , her birthday of course , the day her mother left this world , the day she became an orphan. When Rigel walked up she felt uneasy about her body, she felt cold, hungry and a thirst at the same moment. She dressed up to go for lectures , but she could barely stand. "Rigel, you look sick, let me check on you" cried Ally and she placed her palm on Rigel's forehead softly. It was cold , cold like ice, cold like dead skin. "It's not hot, but... cold. " said Ally giving her some pills. "Here, take those, and you'll be alright, I think you should rest today" cried Ally . When Ally and others went out , the guy whom Rigel was referred to as a stalker appeared again in front of her. "How is this possible! Who are you?" asked Rigel in an exciting voice .

The stalker was calm. He walked near to her and said,"We are here to take you to the new home". "We?",Rigel asked raising her eyebrows. Then , he moved to the balcony swiftly at a thunderbolt speed and unfolded his arm towards the ground.Rigel hurried to see what he was pointing at . It was a black wrangler and three other people were leaning on it. However,this time she could see the stalker's face clearly.

Crimson red eyes, lips like red roses, brown hair long enough up to touch his shoulders, a pale skin and a perfect v shaped face. Rigel couldn't take her eyes from him as she was stuck with his appearance for a moment. " We are here to take you home", suddenly Rigel was awakened by his voice. "I don't have a particular home!" replied Rigel making her eyes filled with curiosity. At the same moment she questioned her self who are those 'WE'. Suddenly, he lifted her up in his arms as she was a light pillow and jumped in front of that vehicle. All this happened In a blink of an eye. Then he gently put down her and the ones who were waiting for them around the jeep got into it. The stalker opened the door for Rigel and wave is head signing her to get in. Rigel had no other option but to get in, because she was excited and frightened about what was happening at that moment.

Now she's sitting inside a Wrangler with total strangers, not knowing what's happening. The engine was started, and they headed to the main road. The one who was driving had black hair, but not as long as the stalker, he turned the car into the woods." Am I being kidnapped?" after a few minutes Rigel raised her voice."no you're not, we are taking our dinner home" a girl with red hair cried in a voice dealt with disgust more than anger. " Rose, don't mock the newbie" cried another boy laughing who had dark brown hair, and he got a deep voice. "I told you before to your new home" replied the stalker who was sitting next to Rigel." hey, how did you do that, you jumped from the third floor, and you were transported to places within seconds... Am I hallucinating things or Is it for real? " Asked Rigel in a low voice to the stalker's ear. " It's all real" the stalker replied Rigel getting close to her ear. She could feel his breath in her ear , but it was not warm .

"Sometimes it's hard to face reality even if it's in front of your eyes" the stalker replied. "Oh here we are" the driver said. Everyone got out of the car, and they took her inside to their house which is going to be her home too. It was in the middle of the woods, very quiet, just trees. The house had three floors, the walls were made with glasses. So, you could see through the house clearly. Some parts were not glass, but wood. When Rigel entered she could smell something strong, sweet which aroused her thirst. "Welcome to your new home Rigel" a young female with marmalade colored hair walked in front of her carrying a vine glass which was full of crimson liquid. Rigel could not control her self over the wine glass, she wanted to drink it whole desperately, but somehow the stalker grabbed her shoulder hardly. " My home! " Said Rigel ignoring what has happened to her, but she was conscious that something was wrong with her body, her senses and all. She could not hold it anymore , she threw off his hand from her shoulder and grabbed the wine and started to drink it . She could taste that it's not wine , but it quenched her thirst.

"I think it has begun" a boy with blond hair said ." sorry Rigel, we should introduce ourselves to you . I'm Mr.Harlond and this is my wife Mrs.Jessica" then he grabbed his wife which was the girl who had marmalade coloured hair."and these are our foster children. In other words your nieces. " said the lady. " I don't know but they are too young to marry and have the custody of children " Rigel thought herself." So , you are saying that you are my aunt and uncle?" Rigel was full of surprises at that moment, because an orphan for 18 years , suddenly having a family ." The wine, it's odd! " said Rigel wiping her mouth . " That's no wine" said the girl with red hair, "that's the blood of a puma , Malory hunted it yesterday" . Rigel's mouth was wide open and her eyes were full of astonishment ." I drank blood ! ... What are you guys hunters??? Are you guys some sort of a cult ?" Rigel stood up from where she sat . " No stop! , I don't wanna be a part of your cult" she cried avoiding her so-called aunt before she spoke."Rigel , relax!!! , we are here to help you " said Mallory , the stalker. " Help with what? Stalking? Kidnapping?" . " Just let me give a punch to her face" said Rosel, the girl with red hair.

"Your mortal life is being over and you are turning to an immortal like us!" cried Malory grabbing her shoulders again . His eyes were crimson red and he was impatient. "Malory !" Harlond cried. "Let her rest now!" said Mrs.Jessica assisting Rigel to her room. "I know it's hard , but you have to accept your fate Rigel" said Mrs.Jessica. " My fate ? What? An immortal? What are you guys? " questioned Rigel while entering a room . It was not painted , but there was a bed , a wooden table with a fine chair , a closet and a nice balcony. Rigel always liked balconies. " You know what we are ... Oh this is going to be your room from now on " Mrs.Jessica told and she went downstairs again.

Rigel fell onto her bed as she was tired . The bed was much more comfortable than the bed at the hostel and the one at her opharnage. She looked around the room. It was nice and she could smell the woods. Her mind was clear , hence she was still thinking what are those people and what is she becoming.
