Chapter 1

~ Awaiting Fate ~

"Really…?" Maria spoke in her poor state of apologizing "Have you forgotten the funds relying on this project?"

"Project? Do you mean the little zoo of special children you we're planning with those low lives?"

In the province of Corazon, Dama de Luna (Spanish for Lady of the moon) lived the hostile and the odd. Yes indeed, the possibility of a different community had a 50-50 percent chance of adapting to the other countries and I'll confirm the fact that this is my home. There's a difference behind the American compared to us. There are several traditions that didn't make sense to me. One is that every person has to have someone fall desperately in love before you can propose.

For some, it was silly to let females take the equal rights of men or even let them take charge. Here it's perfectly normal, and it's even normal for a girl to propose to a man.

"You have to, these children are counting on you for these funds" she insisted, tangling her fingers on her black kinky hair and startling me with her expression

"It's only because you invested so much on this without my say in it. So I don't care about what you think. So if you're not going to deal out so I'll walk out"

"My, my Julianna" her manager spoke in her rather dainty voice "Do you honestly think that it's gonna be that easy? Singing is your life"

"You don't know my life and made myself clear that this is so unfair to me. They're not orphans they're only poor because their parents aren't responsible and insist on making out so much so too bad! Not my problem! "

"Just listen for once and shut up…"

"I've been listening and working the crap out of myself and you have absolutely no right to rule over me"

"You won't last a day out there without me"

"Oh you think so?" I carefully pronounced shrinking my eyes, almost like glaring "Watch me"

It's been three days, enough to prove her wrong twice as much as she bet. I need to cover my identity. I already got rid of those cheap hazel-colored contacts but I still have to do more than that. I'm planning on getting rid of the dye applied on my hair and maybe even have it rebonded. 'Yes, I'll even get rid of my stupid stage name' I thought

I was allowed to go wherever I wanted to go since returning was not an option anymore. They can't call me because Julianna doesn't exist anymore. Vanished as one could say but Claire is now at they're old home at the little rural land.

There the figs were still not fertile and clouds didn't soar. In every direction there would be weeds and bushes crowding every where except for the brick flooring of the roads. I stopped at a intersection where I should decide where to go. It didn't matter to me if I went forward to a town named Mineral Town, down to Forget-Me-Not-Valley or continue to go up the peak of Mother hill, thinking of the possible advantages and disadvantages of the spots. The rumbling of the townsfolk was echoing loud enough for me to notice. I sat on a boulder covering the path to the wilderness beyond.

"I think I should stay here for now" I mumbled to myself while I started to unpack and camp.

I climbed up the same boulder, not minding the green and moist moss and stood there balancing my weight. I could see both of the towns from up here but I have a better view of Forget-Me-Not Valley. The wind rushed passed me and brushed my hair aside then it made me wobble in my place. At first, I thought I would land flat on my face until I regained my balance. I decided that sitting is a good option for me to refrain from falling again.

The trees rustled in the silver moonlight that caused the outskirts to darken. This was also not very normal to someone that didn't belong here. In the city, foreign men freely came and went more going and more arriving. I notice that nobody passed by these roads and that they all knew each other very well as if a nervous system that sent and received messages in an instant. If I enter then I might have been trespassing in the process, an unwelcome guest, a stranger, a nobody.

I sang and hummed to myself swaying my feet right and left. Wondering to if anyone would still recognize me, I pondered a while for I recalled a visit with my sister as a child. I couldn't recall a time that we weren't welcome.

'Still, is this even the same place?'

I was too tired to think any further so I yawned and slid down. Stretched my limbs and waking towards the Goddess pond to wash my face.

A/N Hey! I'm sorry if this doesn't make you crave for more or anything…

Sorry but I'm just new to writing so please give me as many tips a your fingers could possibly take because I've decided to become a writer as a course in college.
