Chapter 78 - Aunty is Angry

Somewhere, two girls are sitting opposite each other in front of the white and purple tree, the big girl kneeling on the ground while her hand crosses in front of her chest and the Little girl kneeling on the ground with the same posture both of them glare each other.

"Tell me, what is this place?" lory stare at the haughty kid in front of her.

"It's a dream…." She replied smugly.

"I know that Brat, whose dream is this….." Lory rolls her eyes exasperatedly.

"You so rude!!" the little girl pout, her cheeks puff cutely.

"Coming from the stupid brat who dragged me here without my consent," Lory said sarcastically.

"Hiks, you mean too…" the little girl on the verged of crying.

But Lory not pitty her, naughty kids need to be disciplined "Answers, or I spank your butt!!"

The little girl flinch, her reflex is covering her butt "It's not my dream, it's her!!" she pointing at the tree.

Lory frowned then she looks at the tall tree beside her, she oddly feels a familiarity with the tree but she never saw this tree before, she looks back at the little girl in front of her "How do you know that?" she curiously asked.

"That woman tell me…" she relief when she thought that woman did not aim her butt again.

"That woman? Lory mouth twitch.

"Uh-huh, the woman who helps me dragged you here" she smiles sweetly.

"The woman you know nothing about?" Lory sigh.

"Uh-huh," the little kid nod excitedly.

"Hey brat, Is no one teach you about 'Stranger Danger'?"

"huh?" the kid tilted her head with blank looks.

Lory massage her temple, she feel it's gonna be a long day but she had a wild guess who is that woman probably is and she feels worried if her guess was rights, when she was contemplating suddenly she feels sudden cold on her body, Lory rubbed her arms even though it makes no difference "Why do I feel cold?" Lory murmured to herself.

"Oh!" the little kid hears what Lory said as if she answers the teacher question with a proud look she says "It's because your soul separates with your body way too long, so your body becomes deteriorated…."

Lory stunned "And if I didn't return immediately?"

"You'll be dead!!" she answers cheerfully.

"Can you send me home?" Lory smiles become scary.

"I CAN'T!!" the kid raises her hands as she answers excitedly.

Lory lost her calmed, she grabbed the little girl collar "You DAMN BRAT!!!, what the hell are you doing, how dare you killed me like this, I don't fear death but I refuse to die because too much sleeping like this, do you want to humiliate me, HUH…!!" she shakes the little girl profusely, the kids head back and forth in fast movement until her face distorted.

"Stop…..stop...bad aunty, you bad aunty!!" the Little girl's eyes already turn white from shaking too much.

"Who tell you I'm an aunty?" Lory stops shaking her.

The little girl faces pale "That woman tells me you died at the aged 30 and when you send here you become young again, so you if we calculated you're real aged you an aunty" the kids mockingly smile at her.

Lory grabs the little girl collar again "I die when I was twenty-seven, how dare you call me AUNTY!!" she shakes her again.

"Aaahhh, help…help, I got attack by crazy aunty!!!" Lory shakes her so hard until the kid looks like a bobblehead.

"Call me AUNTY again, you brat!!"

"Hueeeee....."

____ A few minutes later_____

Both of them back to the previous position only this time Lory panting from too much anger while the little girl held her head because she feels dizzy from too much shaking, Lorycalmed herself, she did not believe she would die because this 'Stupid brat' "Okay….first thing first, what's your name"

The little girl still upset but she answers anyway "Jiao Zi"

"Dumpling…now you make me hungry…" Lory rubs her stomach unconsciously.

(Jiaozi meaning is dumpling in Chinese)

"Aunty, what's your name?"

"-___-"

"Luo Ri Yi…" too tired to correct her.

The little girl scoffed with disbelieve eyes "But she said your name is Lory"

"And why the HELL you asking, brat!!" Lory lost her cool again.

"Just….to make sure" she quickly said "Geezzz...grumpy old lady…." she murmured.

"-___-"

Lory scratches her head, she reminds herself not to abused minor she takes a deep breath then she continues "Why you here, this is not your dream so you just a visitor am I right?"

Jiao Zi looks down pitifully "Yes..."

"So why are you here….." if she wants to get out the need to sort things out first.

"I'm.....I'm hiding" she looks very sad and embarrassed at the same time.

Lory takes a long exhale, a soul who runs from her own body willingly is must be because she faces something she can't handle, she goes so far away because she can face the reality, Lory patted Jiao Zi head gently "Tell me what happened"

Jiao Zi forgot when the last time people genuinely care for her, all of them who wants to be close with her have ulterior motive if not they want to take advantages of her, they want to hurt, if the not hurt her they want to use her, she begins to use to it she starts thinking that's how people normally do but the woman in front of her, why she's so different, when she makes her angry that woman would angry with her, and when she said she would comfort her.....is she wrong all this time, is there really kind people out there.

"He….he lies to me" Jiao Zi said nervously then her eyes gradually become wet "Everyone sees me as an eyesore, I don't care because I have him, he kind and gentle and he dotting me a lot, I thought he really loves me, but…..but is all lie, he just want to use me, he wants to control me and….and he.....he said he is the one who kills my family" Jiao Zi cry burst with tears, she's been holding her feeling for a long time and now all her pained and sorrow come out just like broken water dam.

"Why, why he so mean, my father, trust him, he loves him but why....." Lory embrace her and let her vent her anger, Jiao Zi cry while cursing her enemy "I do everything he wants me to do, I hurt a lot of people for him, I lie and kill for him, I'm doing it because I thought his my family, I thought he love me but I was wrong, I'm so wrong and know my hands had soaked with innocent blood, what should I do.....what should I do…..!!"

The little girl shiver profusely inside her embrace she cry her heart out, Lory feel grieve for the little girl no wonder she runs from the reality, how could she face the betrayal of her loves one, what a pitiful princess...what a cruel faith she must bear, is that why you protecting her, is that why you call me? Arthea….

"When you walk in a dark tunnel, the only way out is through....."Lory whisper on Jiao Zi's ear. The little girl did not answer she hide her face on lives laps while her hands clenching Lory robes like her life depend on it.

"I'm scared…." Jiao Zi said softly.

Lory rubbed Jiao Zi heads dotingly like her mother used to do to her "I know, and that's alright" she calmly said, "But nothing would be done if you hide in here…"

Jiao Zi lift her head, Lory smiles at her "When you make mistakes you have to fix it, if you hurt other people you must ask for forgiveness, it won't be easy, it will be hard, painful and perhaps lonely...."

Jiao Zi wiped the remains tears on her cheek with her small hands "But, what if I fail, what if they never forgive me, what if…."

"You could stay here, you can cry and regret for the rest of your life or you can get out and fight...makes things rights again, even if you end up dead, you die as a fighter not as coward so you can face your family and told them, that you have try, you have given everything you got!"

Jiao Zi closes her eyes more tears come from her tears but this time is not from anger or desperation it's something else, for once she sees the light on the end of the tunnel, she opens her eyes slowly her gaze is not the same with the little kids from before.

"I don't know how to leave this place"

Lory look at the tree beside her, she smiles cunningly "I think I know how, but I need to get out of here first" suddenly Lory body engulf with dimmed purple lights, Lory was stunned for a moment but then she smiles "I think my way out is here" she chuckles, then she looks at Jiao Zi who also look surprised "Tell me where is this place"

Jiao Zi lean on her and whisper on Lory's ear, Lory nod her head "Okay brat, wait for me, I'll coming to get you!!" lory wink playfully at Jiao Zi.

The little girl smiles sweetly "I'll be waiting for you…..Aunty"
