I stared at the motorbike that ran past me,I was so scared as it ran with great speed as if it was on a chase,I was so scared to the extent that I had to go back into the cafe,as I entered,my eyes came in contact with Corazon's,I wondered what he was doing,why are you staring at me? and what are you doing here back in the kitchen?,I had to help your brother pack up,you know,what happened to you back there?,you were a little bit off,are you alright?,I am,thanks,I just got a bit dizzy,so I had to step out for fresh air, but it seems you're back already, hmmm,I had to take my shades,then shall I join you?,you...,you wanna join me?,is that a problem?,if it is,I'll stay behind so I don't make you uncomfortable,no, you can join me.
We both stepped out to have some fresh air,I was feeling quite uncomfortable but I had to get a grip of myself so it doesn't actually reflect on my face, the silence between us was killing me and I could see it was obvious from his side as well,before I could start the conversation,he started abruptly,so,since when have you been running the cafe now?, we've both been running the cafe ever since our parents died in that accident,I had just returned from California,that was where I studied,so I was heartbroken and I saw my brother in a very bad state,I had to stay strong for him even though it hurt so much (sniffles) oh, I'm sorry, I didn't actually mean to reopen old wounds,no,it's alright,it's sometimes good to go through these things and pour out some feelings, okay enough serious talk, come on I have something to show you.
I was starting to feel so curious about where he was taking me,I felt safe but still wondered where he was taking,he held my hand as we walked towards a well lit building,it looked so beautiful,as we entered I felt at ease and amused because I had never seen anything like it before,it was so beautiful. So, what do you think?, Corazon, I'm out of words,as you can see this is just the same place the final competition took place the last time it was held,so I had to plan things very fast so you know what it's like for every competitor that was here then,so to spice things up a little bit, I have some people who you might want to meet, come on out guys, Luna, meet Marilyn, Lydia, Jackson and Mason, this kids here want to become top chefs when they grow up and become owners of 5-star restaurants and cafes,so they'll be preparing some set of dishes just for you to rate them, really?,me?,rate them?,yes,isn't that right guys?, (all together) yeah!!!,so go on, you guys have thirty minutes only.
I stood and watched as the kids prepared their dishes,I was so jealous because when I was their age, I couldn't even prepare a milkshake properly, I had to seat and watch as they prepare each dish careful and keeping track of time. After the time given was almost up,they had already start to wrap things up, they were all done with their dishes and we're ready to serve it for remarks, I was astonished, they were all right on time. The time we've all been waiting for is here, so, Ms Luna Nightingale, are you ready to rate this dishes?.
I had tasted each dish and felt like I was in the clouds, after having a taste of each dish, I had to rate them. Marilyn, your dish was actually perfect but you added to much seasoning to it, which made it look off a bit but you tried, Jackson, your dish was absolutely perfect but your cupcake which was obvious that you extracted the blackberry juice perfectly but it just wasn't good enough,you didn't allow it to get more heat, so it made it a little bit slimy, Lydia, I'll go straight to the point, there was just too much sugar in your dessert, not everyone appreciates sweet things, look into it the next time you are in the kitchen and Mason, your hamburgers were just too perfect but your side dish, it was obvious you used too much butter which made it so oily, so I'll gather up your points and announce the winner and I'll let you who it is.
So,the results are ready guys, Luna, would you do the honors as well, thanks, so the winner of this mini cook-off is... MLMJ, Luna, there's no one here by that name, (laughs) that's just Mason, Lydia, Marilyn and Jackson, though I didn't expect it to be a tie but after calculating each point I realized it was a tie,wow!!,so they all won, that's just great, congrats guys.
After announcing the results,they were all so happy. After some time I realized that it was almost sunset so I had to leave. Corazon, I have to go, yeah I know, we are about to leave I was just dropping off the kids so we can go so Alex doesn't get worried, c'mon let's go then.
As we left the place for home I was starting to feel uncomfortable again because I was with him again and no one else is with us, I had to break the silence between us just feel comfortable just by asking an awkward question, so where are you from?, hmmm, I... actually, I'm from London,oh,so you've been in London for like, forever ?, you can say that but I'm actually here for a mission and I have to carry it out before I leave, wait, you are leaving London to where?, I mean why do you have to leave and what mission do you have to carry out?, are you a spy?, (laughs) no,I'm not a spy alright?, I'm just here for the meantime and after my work here is done, I'll leave, okay, so what about your parents?,it seems you wanna know more about me tonight but not today because you'll never be able to comprehend it so let's push this till another day, okay Mr Mystery.
We had a long conversation to the extent that I didn't know when I got at the front door, I felt so safe with him and I knew I could trust him, so this is where we say goodbye right?, yeah Mr Mystery, goodnight, goodnight to you too and my regards to Alex, okay.
I stood still as she shut the door, I saw how pure and how wounded she was emotionally, she needed someone who could look after her but she only has to look after her brother who does his best as well, I was lost in thoughts as I something very fast ran right before me, I sensed the energy coming out of it, I followed it knowing it was the same energy I felt the other day, I made sure I followed and laid my hand on it, as I touched I knew it was human but not an ordinary one, I tried looking at who it was but before I could do that he landed a huge blow at me I fell to the ground and as he wanted to escape again I immediately took my bow and arrow and fired right at the heart, my aim was so perfect I knew he couldn't have escaped such a shot, I went and took a better look and saw it was just a young man before I could touch him I heard the whistle of an arrow coming from afar and immediately I moved away and the arrow went straight to the young man and hit him, I knew who that was, I knew who was capable of that, I took the man and ran as fast as I could just to keep the man safe,I ran into a crowd of people and I knew this was the best time to escape from Antonio,I felt his presence near me, I wondered how he knew I was there, I had to make an escape plan before he finds me, I had no choice but to fly, so I had to cover my face just to avoid blowing my cover, my wings spread so wide as I flew in the sky, I tried looking down to see if I would spot him and I did but he didn't,I had to get the young man to safety so I flew away.
I wondered what would have happened if Antonio had spotted me, I had to look into the young man and realized that Antonio shot him already, so I had to reverse that, I had to wait for the young man to gain consciousness before returning him to his home, I thought of taking a short nap and as I closed my eyes I found myself standing before Antonio, I knew it wasn't real so I had to stay calm, Corazon, wow!!, it seems you really have settled down here on earth, but you forgot your old friend, listen I promised you I wouldn't let you rest in peace, now I really want to make it real to you, your new friends, I think it's better if you keep them safe because you've seen what I could do to people like them, for some reason I couldn't reply him, it felt as if I was glued by the mouth and I had no chance to reply to him, I woke up instantly knowing what was going to happen if I didn't get ready for Antonio, I looked in the mirror and saw myself thinking of a way to protect my new friends away from Antonio because I didn't want to hurt him but if he crossed his limit,he knew what that would cost him, I had to stay awake and think of what to do if he attacked at any moment.
