Chapter 21| GLOCK 17
I entered the bathroom to take my shower as soon as I woke up, nightmares were fighting me through the night, but I seriously could think of worst things that could happen than nightmares.
Back in my world -it's really funny how we say the word 'world' a lot this days- everything should come to its right place at the end, I mean like if you chose to be the bad guy, you would end in misery, if you chose to be the good guy, heck you could turn from a servant to a princess.
Maybe that's what scares me the most that I don't know how it works here. As far as I know, I didn't meet any bad people, unless it was in the movies.
Yet.
Everything seems perfect here, like really perfect. I actually sometimes question myself how does Josephine and Caleb seems so fascinated by the world I came from? I mean it's really good and everything, everyone seems to get what does he deserves there. I guess that just people doesn't think of the goods they have, but instead think of other's.
I like this world, they like mine. It's kind of scary, if you think of it.
It's like being deceived by the blessings they see rather than seeing the absolute truth. I don't know this world, but in the movies, heck I barely get out of the house, Josephine and Caleb don't know about mine, but in the novels and fairytales they read.
Maybe this world is as perfect as it claims.
Maybe.
I finally got out of my shower, deciding that I'll let my hair dry by the air. I chose an all black outfit, black leggings, black shirt and black shoes.
I got out of my room, and headed directly to the kitchen, my stomach have been grumbling nonsense since I woke up.
I sat on the counter to be welcomed by a fully flushed Josephine.
"Are you ill? Sick?" I said putting my hand in her temple
She only shook her head.
"Cat's bite your tongue?"
She stuck her tongue out for me to see it's fully in its place.
"Okay..." I said slowly and stood there awkwardly.
"Good morning!" We were greeted by a shirtless Kent and he was welcomed by Josephine grinning like a fool.
We let them stay over for the night, so we won't waste time waiting for everyone gather in the house. Sally didn't mind us staying too.
I don't actually see Sally and Mr. Black a lot around the house, just a thought.
Few seconds later and I decided to go make myself some scrambled eggs, as these two fools are no help.
James and George joined us as soon my eggs were done, I poured myself a glass of juice and hurriedly sat on the counter, and started digging in my food.
"Jeez women, how long haven't you eaten?" George said surprisingly
"Seven hours!" I said the a mouth full of food
"Which you slept in?" He said holding a laugh
"Exactly..."
He only shook his head and turned on his heels, to the stove and started making pancakes.
"May I have some?" I grinned at him from my seat at the counter.
"Sure" He chuckled
George was maybe in his twenties, with stiff muscles, brown short hair, brown eyes and a scar crossing his left arm, while James weren't as muscly as George but maybe at the same age as him, but he was fit with long yellowish hair and light brown eyes, and full of tattoos.
These guys really seem tough, but once you know them, you will know how much of a softies they are.
"Here you go, kiddo" George said handing my the plate of pancakes while he gave everyone else one.
"I'm not a kid" I pouted
Soon enough I saw Caroline entering the kitchen from my corner of my eyes, but I was too consumed in finishing my eggs, so I can start in pancakes to really care.
Only a few seconds, Caleb entered, I turned to look who is entering, he froze the second he saw me.
I scrunched my eyebrows, chewing my pancakes, looking confused as ever.
He just sat down with no words.
Weird enough?
Kent let out a loud yawn while he devoured into his pancakes.
Like seriously, are we even close to look like we are going to a super dangerous mission?
Yeah...no
I still have hope...
Everyone was consumed in conversations, except Caleb who sat there strangely quite. So I took the chance that his sitting in front of me and tried to start a conversation with him.
"So...Caleb?"
He froze, I can see the panicking in his eyes
"Are you ready for the mission?" He nodded and took his glare back to the pancakes
"Did you enjoy watching Spongebob?" He put his fork down and only nodded again
"What was the episode about?"
"Um...I-I it was a-about Patrick h-having an accident and he became really smart..."
Wow...he did really watch Spongebob
"And...?"
"He became stupid again for Spongebob" he said more confidently, even smiling a little this time.
"Uh-huh..." I said lowly
"I think we should go set up now..." James said scratching the back of his neck
"Yeah me too..." I said picking up my plate and quickly washing it.
--------------------------------
I walked downstairs to where everyone is waiting, and surprisingly everyone was dressed in black, according to Josephine (who convinced us to wear all black) it's mysterious and professional...
Her words not mine.
"Millicent!" I heard James call
"Yeah?"
"Come pick your weapon..."
I went over to him, who stood in front of a black suitcase with lots of guns, pocket knives and some kind of large knives? I picked randomly a black gun.
"Great choice! You've picked GLOCK 17...and...you've picked it randomly, didn't you?"
"Maybe...the most important thing is, that I can chose the best by my nature." I grinned while he rolled his eyes
I really hope I don't use it, that's nothing like picking a stick in people hunting or scaring them. This is real, once I pull this trigger everything is going to end.
It's not a childish game anymore.
