Chapter Two

CHAPTER 2

“You’re lying, Your Bestfriend told us that you seemed too close to that woman” My eyebrows furrowed with a sudden surprised.

“What? Maybe you asked the wrong person there's no way Julia could lie to me she knew half of my life!” I exclaimed. This one is unexpected. Maybe they really asked the wrong one.

Right. They asked the wrong person.

“Julia Cordova, This is her isn't it?” Sir Velasquez showed me a picture. And my mouth opened a half because of sudden shocked. So Julia really said that?

We even talk about that beggar one time. How come she said we're close to each other?

Is Julia betraying me? No way. She couldn't do that. We're childhood Best friend.

“From now on you're not allowed to go anywhere aside from your school, We're going to watch every step you do. We're going to stop once you prove yourself innocent” He firmly said. This one is really crazy yet funny. I don't know maybe because of his looks? He looks like Jhonny Bravo.

Oh I almost forgot. I should be complaining.

“Wait wait are you—

Before I could finish my words someone interrupted. It's the annoying guy—SPO1 Velasco.

“Sir! Someone reported a case in Sampaguita street it's a murder case” Without any hesitations the Chief stood up and...they left me.

Hmm. Are they even aware that I'm still here? Tss.

I slowly shake my head and walked outside. I choose to go home instead of waiting for them.

It's past 5 PM.

I'm heading home now when I suddenly saw the beggar. Is this real?

A saw her sitting on the chair while hands on her face, She's crying and sobbing.

Am I going to call the police? Of course I should!

I nervously get my phone and type Chief Velasquez's Number, he gave it to me yesterday.

Three rings before he answ it.

“What is it Evans?I have a case to face stop disturbing me and go home!” He exclaimed frustratingly.

I call the two other police I know but they out of coverage.

What am I gonna do then? I'm scared.

She's a bit far from me so she didn't see me.

I deeply sighed and walk passed to her but she suddenly shouted that made me froze.

“Are you scared at me too?”She said while smiling. It creep me out.

“Don’t be scared” She said.

Even if I'm a bit hesitate I still asked her;

“Who are you?” I nervously asked almost stutter.

“I’m Madielaine, I'm kind unlike Monica, She's a demon” I almost run because of sudden surprised. What is she talking about?

It's scaring the hell out of me.

“M-Madielaine—Monica?” I asked stuttering.

“Me. Monica is kinda evil” She said. And it made me more scared of her.

But look at me now I'm talking to her. I should be running right now.

“You’re not like them right? You're not going to get my daughter away from me” She mumbled almost cried. I slowly shake my head. I felt pity on her.

“Don’t worry Miss Madielaine” Or Monica.

“I will help you, come with me” This is the only way I can do.

“Where are we going?” She asked innocently. I cleared my throat and said.

“To the police station, They'll help you” I stated. Wrong move. She step backwards.

“No! You're not going to take me! If you're going to kill I must do it first to you!” My eyes got widened when she suddenly pull a small knife from her pocket. I felt numb I don't know what to do, I want to run but why I can't feel my legs?

She's about to attack me and all I could do is scream.

I closed my eyes and accept the destiny.

“Oh my God, Mary are you okay?!” I opened my eyes when I heard a familiar voice. I quickly hugged Julia when I saw her.

She saved me. A glimpse of tears escape from my eyes.

“Thank you” I said wholeheartedly.

“Let’s go” She held my hand and run.

“Let’s call the police!” I exclaimed while running.

“I did” She said. We stop in front of convenient store when we feel that she's not chasing us anymore.

Thank God, Julia saved me. I wonder how she end up there when our direction are totally opposite.

“By the way, What are you doing there?” I asked.

She suddenly avoided my stares, what's with you Julia? Are you hiding something from me?

“Ahh” She seems thinking of a reason.

“I came to visit you! Yes! I came to visit you in the police station but they said you just go home minutes ago so I decided to follow you instead and...I saw you there” She reasoned out. I don't need to doubt her. I trust her.

“Hmm Julia, Based on what they say, you said that I'm close to that beggar...why?” I said hoping that they were wrong.

“Sorry to bring up the topic but Isn't your grandma just like her?” She carefully said. I deeply sighed. Right. But they got the wrong idea they said I'm an accomplice.

After we bid our goodbyes I immediately went home. I'm exhausted today and I still need to make my projects and assignment.

While doing them I'm watching a Television. It's like I'm multitasking.

My head turned up when I suddenly heard my name from the Television.

OMG.

“Mary Madison Evans was the name of a sixteen year-old student who studied in White Knights University that's being suspected of the Nameless beggar’ accomplice. The photo was taken earlier and it shows that they're talking and seems too close—

I turned off the Television. It's giving me headache. Where did that photo came from?

Why is this happening?

I heavily sighed. My eyebrows furrowed when I heard something approaching.

I stood up when I heard some siren. I went near the window to check it.

I closed my eyes out of frustration because they're here.

I know this would happen.

Minutes later I heard a three continuing knocks.

"Mary?are you there?" I slowly walk towards the door and I opened it. A genuine smile plastered on Tita Melody's lips.

"The police are looking for you, do you have a problem?" She asked worriedly. I know she's just concerned. For almost three years of living on her apartment somehow I feel close to her. She's like a mother to me.

I shake my head as a sign that I'm okay, I smiled at her.

“It’s just a misunderstanding” I said.

I saw three police man walking towards our directions—Velasquez, Velasco, and Vescinzo. I cleared my throat as I saw them clearly.

What is it this time?

They introduce their selves to Tita Melody and after that they explained everything to her. Including the very bad news.

“From now on she's going to live in A police house for security purposes” Chief said while me? My lips were parted with a sudden surprised.

I'm going to live in someone's house?Why?

“Wait I didn't do wrong!” I exclaimed.

“It’s the Head of Police decision so you're nothing to do with it” Velasco said while smiling like an annoying guy as he is. I almost rolled my eyes at him.

“Ahm I don't know what’s happening on you Mary but just follow them, I'll be packing your things just text me the address” She said. I don't have any choice now but to follow them.

It well just make the situation worse if I keep on arguing.

Again. I'm between them.

I opened my phone and search for Julia's name but this annoying guy steal it from me.

“Hey! Give me back my phone I need to call my friend!” I shouted at the tap of my lungs. He's nothing to do with it he made me pissed.

I saw the Chief forcing his self not to talk to us cause I know he's more pissed in our voices.

I got my phone back and I finally search Julia's name on F******k.

Julia Cordova tagged you on a post

I clicked the icon above out of curiosity.

But wrong moved it just made me regret.

“Hi Mary, I was the one who took those photos. Remember the day when I saved you from that beggar? Well I'm sorry I didn't really call the police because I'm more than scared! But yeah I posted it to help the police.

You know me. And I know you but not your whole life so you probably thinking that I betrayed you?No. I'm just helping you out. I don't know if it is really true that you're that beggar’s accomplice but one thing I know for sure is that I didn't treat you like a Best friend because I don't like you. Many of my followers asking if what kind of a friend are you. For me. You're boring. Yeah that's true Mary. That's all I can say hope to see you cleaned name. I don't want to have a friend who's criminal.

I covered my mouth to prevent my self to sobbed.

I single tears escape from my eyes and all I could do is to cry silently.

What did I ever do to you Julia? Why are you saying those words? It's so unlike you.

I'm in pain. But why does I felt numb?

She's my only Best friend her in Herson City but she turned out to be a traitor.
