BETWEEN THE REAL
AND
THE NEVERLAND
Real Life is Real Life
Neverland isn’t Called Never Land for
Nothing
Chapter 3 : The Human Girl did Exist
Seeing the reaction Alex got from
only mentioning her name, again, she was confused so she managed to ask,
“what?”
“Justin, you gotta keep her away
from Maria or else the worst happens. You know that. I’m gonna tell the queen
about this” Liz said and soon she was out.
Justin didn’t have any other choice
other than listening to her since he knew that was for good. So he just stood
there, leaning to the wall again like a few minutes back then and staring at
Alex.
“why are you looking at me like
that? And what was it she was talking about?”
“lucky I haven’t bit you yet. As
much of a rebel I am, I don’t want the world’s ruined by that mad b#tch”
If she was confused before then she
had no idea how she was now. She would always ask questions but it seemed like
he would never answer. So she decided to just shut up and sit on his huge
couch. She missed home already. She had no idea if that Justin boy would ever
let her go or not. She was falling asleep with so much in her head.
Meanwhile, Joey was in a remorse. He
shouldn’t have let Alex go all by herself. It had been 24 hours and she wasn’t
home. Joey promised to give anyone who could find her a great amount of money.
He looked for her. Her parents. Her brother. Her friends. Everyone looked for
her. But she was nowhere to be found.
It was 3 in the morning and Alex
already opened her eyes. She found the house empty. She was guessing Justin was
in a club or somewhere. She figured, the huge house didn’t have beds in every
bedroom. The kitchen looked like it had never been touched and there was no
food or drink.
She was wondering, “where am I,
actually? “
She would try to escape and forget
everything but the main door was locked and she was in the second floor.
The sun was gleaming and it entered
the room where Alex slept. Apparently she fell asleep again after exploring the
house and trying to find a way to escape. She opened one window that was the
closer one to her. It was 8 in the morning and the land still looked deserted
like it was a dead land or maybe it really was? the street should have been
full by cars or people walking in that early evening but Alex found no one and
nothing of activity going on out there. She was too lost with her thoughts that
it made her didn’t feel the presence of someone right behind her or maybe
because that someone was just there out of nowhere?
He leaned in to her ears and then
whispered, “have a good sleep last night?”
“oh my God!! You scared me!” Alex uttered
and soon she was faced to face with him, Justin.
“oh trust me, you should” he said,
smirking.
“what the hell was that though?” she
asked in her head.
“anyway, let’s go. We should get out
of here” he said again and brought her with him out from the house to his car.
“stop talking like you have hidden
meaning in it, alright? And besides, I only wanna get out of here if you’re
taking me home” she said as trying to release her hands from Justin.
“you’re already here meaning you
can’t just go home. You should finish things off”
“what do you mean though?”
“just shut up and listen to me”
“why would I?”
“let’s just say, if I told you
before that I was helping you, now I really mean it. I’m helping you and you’re
gonna help us” he said as he grabbed her hands and taking her to get in to his
car.
Yep. you could tell he kind of
helped her the other day by taking her
to his house instead of leaving her there with the boys. He didn’t mean it at
all when he said he was helping her back then. It was just his trick to get her
with him to his house and then he could have her all for himself. And this
time, he did help her by taking her to Queen Mertha’s mansion instead of
Maria’s. It was like between sending her to heaven or hell..
She wanted to open her mouth to ask
things but then she was stopped by lips hitting her lips. He was kissing her.
He never kissed human before and that was new to him and he liked the feelings.
On the other hand, she never kissed anyone before, not even Joey. She never was
ready for it. But then she was doing it with a boy she had just met a day
before. She couldn’t help but kissing him too. She didn’t even know why. She
just felt that feelings that he was fine. Why would she felt that way when she
felt fear all over her that day on the deserted street with those random boys
with the same strange color of eyes with Justin’s? Justin was clearly the one
who wasn’t so friendly with her. He was clearly the one who forced her to go with him and made her
stay in his house.
“you better go to sleep as I’m
driving” he said after kissing her and soon Alex felt sick in the head and then
she fell asleep. It was him who played with her head.
After 2 hours or so she finally
opened her eyes and soon her eyes met so many eyes staring at her. Justin was
out of them. He was just leaning to a wall and staring straight to a window.
“Alexis Enderson. We thought of ways
to get you here but how lucky and blessed we are that you’re here all by
yourself” said a long brown haired girl, smiling.
“it’s not really like that though. I
would go from here but that boy right there made me go to his house and locked
me there. But hey, what do you mean though? Why would you wanna get me here?
and what city is this anyway?” Alex replied, speaking what was on her mind.
“I told you all. She can’t shut up.
We should just take her blood and then send her home or finish her off” Justin
said still looking straight to the window.
“oh believe me, I didn’t talk much
before but you and this land and the people in this land are making me wonder things and making me
confused and you’ve been making it worse by never answering my questions and by
talking mysteriously” Alex said responding to Justin.
“oh wait.. what??!! You wanna take
my blood?? Oh my god!! For what?” she said again, freaking out.
“JB, you’ve done your job already.
we’ll tell you the rest later. I still remember you don’t like being in my
place for long so you can go by now.” the girl said again and walking closer to
Justin.
“thank you” she said it for only
Justin to hear. Her smile was sincere.
“oh whatever Mertha. And you know
that I did it for no one but for this land. anyway, you’re the one who has the
responsibility to save the land and I’m an ordinary, just like the others you
can’t expect me to help you. Bye.” Justin said straight to his point and left
the Queen’s mansion.
Worry was written on Alex’ face
knowing that Justin had left her in that big mansion with strangers. But wasn’t
Justin a stranger also to her?
Justin was out of sight and Liz was
saying, “why can’t he just accept the fact that he’s special?”
“because he’s always stubborn” the
queen replied.
Everyone in the big room seemed to
agree with Liz and The Queen but Alex, only because she had no idea of
anything.
Finally, the queen asked Liz to lead
Alex to her room and take some rest. On the way to her room, they both didn’t
say a word. Alex was actually eager to ask questions but she was afraid Liz
would be just like Justin, not giving her clear answers.
“alright Alexis, this is your room.
You better take some rest now” Liz said, smiling to her.
“okay. Thank you. You can just call
me Alex, anyway. Uhm by the way…”
“huh?”
“oh nevermind”
That was almost of her asking
questions but she decided that she would just take some rest for now just like
she was told. She didn’t even get it how they asked her to take some rest when
it was still 10 in the morning. They should’ve asked if she was hungry or
thirsty since she hadn’t eaten or drunk anything since she stepped her feet
into that land.
“hey, finally the sleeping beauty
wakes up! By the way we’re guessing Justin must’ve not given you any food or drink.
so here they are” said a black curly haired girl as soon as she saw Alex tried
opening her eyes.
“oh about time” Alex told herself.
“oh right. Who are you, anyway?”
Alex said and changed her position to sit on the huge couch she had just slept
on.
“I’m Cristy. And I know you’re
Alexis Enderson” she said, smiling.
She seemed like a fun person than
the others there. Alex then figured she was one of the people in the big room,
that was staring at her when she first opened her eyes in that huge mansion.
Alex wasted no time. She started
eating all the food in front of her.
“hey Cristy, why don’t you eat with
me?”
“oh unfortunately I don’t eat,
sister”
“uhmm what do you mean?”
“we have our own special food here”
“oh really? Like what? I’d love to
try them”
Christy couldn’t help but laugh.
“is there something funny?” Alex
asked, completely confused.
Cristy shook her head and finally
stopped laughing.
“hey Cristy, may I ask questions?”
Alex said, a bit afraid that she would say no.
“okay” Cristy replied, smiling and
soon Alex smiled too.
And then all the questions she had
been asking in her head was like queuing, waiting to be spilled out from her
mouth.
“what city is this anyway?”
“we call it Neverland” she replied,
smiling.
“Neverland as in Michael Jackson’s
?”
“haha I guess you can tell yourself
that this Neverland is nothing like MJ’s” Cristy replied, smiling.
“well, yeah. hmm I never heard of
this place, you know” Alex said
“I know. Where are you from anyway?”
“I’m from LA. Is Neverland near
around LA?”
“hmm it depends”
“what do you mean though? I live in
LA and I got here by foot so I’m guessing Neverland is near around LA, isn’t
it?”
“Alexis, actually I’ve got to go in
no time. Are you sure you only wanna ask me that?”
“uhmm what? Oh okay. I.. I wanted to know why do people seem like they
don’t wanna mess with Justin?”
“oh you noticed that.” Cristy said,
smirking.
“well yeah. the other day I was
chased by some random boys and then I bumped into him and those boys just let
me go with him”
“oh well.. yep he is. He’s special
among us. Even the queen isn’t as special as him. No one dares to mess with him
cuz it's not a good thing when he explodes ”
Alex mouthed "ohh"
“uhm Queen? This city has a queen?”
Alex said
“let’s just say she’s the president
of this land. she's the one with the long brown hair who talked to you when you
first open your eyes here ” Cristy replied, smirking and then winked at her
“okayyy. Uhm.. why.. why do you all
wanna take my blood?”
“Because that’s just how you can
help us”
“I don’t get it”
“let’s just say, you have good blood
that you can help people by giving a little of it”
“Oh my God! Why didn’t you all tell
me since the beginning so I won’t freak out huh? I’d love to do that. By the
way, what are they suffering from? Will my blood help to cure them?” Alex said,
smiling at the fact that she could help people.
“well, actually, not to cure but to
kill, somebody”
“what?”
“I believe I’m not the right person
to tell you this. Besides, I’ve got to go now. See you later, sister” Cristy
said and soon Alex was left alone in the room.
The new information she got only
made her flustered than before.
