I'm a strange girl. That's what everyone says. Well, I myself think so too. I'm a strange girl. In this advanced age I prefer to spend time in the forest with my beloved horse, Mathew. How else would you. Since childhood we lived on a family farm, in the area
this state's outskirts. The forest is only about 500 meters from my house. It can still be counted as a backyard. My father worked as a sheriff in the central police force. And my mom used to take care of the farm
grandmother's relics. My sister and I helped my mom as much as we could. To be honest, I often run away from boring homework. For me, exploring the jungle is more fun than taking care of chicken eggs. Looks like another normal family, for the time being.
I never imagined that the boring days full of routine on the farm would end. Dad said he was promoted and would go to a special unit. So we're moving to the city of Siverra.
“The city is much bigger than Nogart. So Key can find a friend there and no need to be alone in the forest anymore”, said the father at dinner.
I just nodded.
“Thank God..”, Karen said slowly. Mother stroked the top of Karen's head gently.
Ah, sucks! Somehow they like to avoid talking about the real problem. Father promoted? Hmh! I've known about it for a long time, 3 years ago dad was promoted. But he refused and chose to settle in this small town. He thinks a suburban place like this is safer for us
stayed. But now everything's turned 180 degrees. And it's all because of Karen. My sister is different from me. Since birth he has been flattered. And last year the perfect Karen became the pride of our family. Grandma was still alive. According to grandma Karen started showing talent ‘future vision’. Ability to see the future. It's true since the age of 13, Karen so often say strange things. Even in the middle of sleep. But, come on. Can't they just believe it? What he said was the future?! Just be right!
A storm of impunity struck all around me. They all believed in Karen's vision. Karen's a nice, sweet girl, she can't possibly lie. I don't want to accuse him of lying either. More than anyone, I know Karen well. The boy can't lie. But it isn't
meaning vision or illogical talent is believable.
That thought only applies to a bad boy like me. Some kids my age say that I'm just jealous of Karen's privilege. From the beginning, Karen was indeed a sweet and very beautiful child with long bright blonde hair and big eyes as blue as the ocean. He is always friendly to everyone. Sometimes I am alone
it was also a wonder that we were really brothers. I don't care what other people want to behave like, but if they bother me or Karen, then I'll make sure to reply with my fists. Boys stop cheating on me and girls my age are scared of me. And as a result, I have no friends. Well, yeah,
there used to be one guy who stayed with me, but his family moved to Florida when we went to Junior High.
Unfortunately, the city that became our new home is in the opposite direction of Florida. I'm not going to meet him. Well, despite saying so, I'm also not sure if I can meet him like I used to. Is he still like before? We moved out at the end of September. With a heavy heart, I leave Mathew to my uncle
who chose to stay in Nogart and take care of all the farms. I sighed looking at the yellow foliage that was coloring every corner of the forest I was playing in. No one understands. The forest was like a treasure park to me, full of mysteries. Seeming deep in the jungle there is still a place that has not been touched by humans, there are still different adventures, and life forms are not yet known. Why they decided all this.
Upon entering the city of Siverra, I realized how different this atmosphere was from our farm. Large city siverra, filled with the noise of vehicles and human busyness. This is a city that does not know the word sleep. Our new home is located in front of the police station, two blocks away from the special forces headquarters. Of course, near the city center. I think mom and dad are feeling calmer by staying near the security forces. I could also see the fire station at the other end of the road that crossed the front of the house. Not only that, our new school is also not far away, about 20 minutes walk. Gezz.this is a little overrated.
“Dad, why should it be in a girls' school?”, I want to protest. “I want to go to a regular school”
“Come on, no problem right. In girls schools you will not be colonized again”, said Father.
“Why not? There are also girls who like to look for ribut”
“Originally you did not start it first, most likely such a thing will not happen”, said Mother.
“What do you think I started it?”, I ask.
“Key, your mother didn't mean that. We know you're just defending yourself”
I snorted and returned to the room on the second floor. This house is small and there are only two rooms. So I had to share another room with Karen. In Nogart we also shared a room, because Karen was too afraid to sleep alone. But now we are big. We no longer share a room.
I saw Karen sleeping in her bed. He seemed exhausted from waking up at night due to unreasonable dreams. Karen nodded happily when she found out that Dad enrolled us in a girls' school. Well, it might be a suitable place for him. But not for me. I wish we could make new friends there. Let it be, I'm sure when my true nature opens, they'll all stay away from me out of fear. I dropped my body on another bed located across the other room. Slowly my eyes began to close because of sleepiness.
“Aaahh....!!!”, Karen's screaming voice woke me up. I rubbed my eyes, scratched my non-itchy hair and flicked the blanket lazily. Well, I feel sorry for Karen who often doesn't sleep quietly because of her talent, but this also sucks for a long time. I have not slept quietly for a long time either. But look at Karen
sobbing made me forget that frustration. I rushed to his bed, embracing his back.
“No, Brother. Sister...sister must run...we all...”.
He saw my future. “It's okay.”
“No! This is not okay! Sister.... must go from here”, he said as he sobbed the sedan. Karen kept calling me while crying. “Kakak really should go”, Karen said after her cries subsided. “They're after sister”
Eh? What nonsense this time? I took a breath, calmed down. “Who? And why would anyone come after me?”
“I don't know either. But he's coming. And sister...blood....”.
“We can talk to Mom and Dad. Calm down. If it is indeed a danger we can call the police or.”.
Karen was crying again. “No! Can't... sister must lari”
I stared into Karen's two fixed eyes. He was really scared, more than usual. “Say, what do you see?”
“Blood... I saw brother covered in blood and..and seizures...”.
“A-me...?” I'm going to die! My hair stood up as I thought about it. I know I don't trust Karen's words about the future. But seeing the rapid tears streaming down Karen's face made me imagine if it really happened. I'm only 16! Just be right!! Karen seemed to know of my change in expression. He started sobbing again. Cold sweat came down my neck, but I tried to calm down. While holding Karen's hand, I again calmed her down “It's okay. That hasn't happened yet. I won't be afraid. If I have to run, I will run. Ok? Be calm. I will run as far as I can to avoid it. Ok?”
“We have to go from here”, whispered Karen after she could have more self-control.
“No, Karen!”, I said firmly. I'm really tired of all this. “We just moved yesterday, remember? Because you said something to mom and dad”
Karen looked surprised. Maybe he thought I didn't know it because Karen was secretly seeing him while I slept. But he miscalculated when he came out and walked into my father's room, I was awake enough to hear everything.
“That's the same dream kan”
Karen nodded. “They track us..”.
“Who are they? And what does it want?”
“They monsters.. What they were after was...”, Karen looked at me, her eyes filled with fear and sadness. I can understand the continuation of his words without waiting. “..kakak”.
“Hah??” What the fuck is he joking about monsters, he said?? And again they're after me?!!
Dad knocks on the door slowly, then immediately runs in to make sure Karen's condition. The mother who was walking behind the father approached Karen's bed, scooping her into a hug. And Karen again sobbed, her eyes still filled with fear.
“Karen, can you estimate the time?”, Dad asked.
Karen nodded slowly. Dad patted the top of Karen's head gently, then turned to look at me.
“What does Karen see?”
I shrugged both of my shoulders lazily. “She said someone was tracking us”
Dad frowned, I think you know that I don't believe Karen's vision. But Dad didn't say anything. With a face filled with worry, Mom asked Dad if we could move again.
“It will take time”
Looks like we'll get out of here before we can adapt and get to know anyone. But I know the decision has been made and I'm not the one who can change it. Even though I told you a few days ago to make new friends at a new school, we went straight home and locked ourselves in. I don't know what Karen's reason is. I'm not hiding because of her vision or the future Karen said. It's just, I don't feel like I really want to go out with a new friend if I have to part ways soon. Besides, Karen thinks I'm going to meet my end soon. Well, I don't believe it anyway.
