Confuse Mind
Stellar is a sweet, innocent young girl though she came from a shameful family. She was raised in a place where body is a means of money, on her 15th birthday everything changes when a tragedy happens and both her parents died.
Chapter 1- Separation
Stellar was born in a family of those who sells their body in exchange of money. Her mother and father met in a night club at their early age and decided to live in together even after Stellar was born. They continue their job being prostitutes since that's their only way of getting immediate money. They don't have any commitment in their relationship that's why they don't mind if one sleeps with somebody. Though her parents are like this, they didn't forget to give whatever Stellar needs like food, clothing and shelter. She was sent to school but she stopped when her classmates starts to tease her and call her a prostitute too.
Stellar knows her parents' job since she was a little kid. Her parents told her personally because they believe that it's better that Stellar heard it straight from them rather from other people. Stellar doesn't know her relatives, she haven't met any of them. She has very few friends who are also children of prostitutes. Auel is one of them, they're very close to one another since they were little until now that they were teens.
Though it's dark and chilly outside, there are still many people who walk in the streets and many brothels are open. In a dark corner, there's two teens (one is a boy and the other is a girl) standing and looking at the clubs. The boy's looking in his watch until it reaches 12:00 am. He puts his arm in the girls shoulder slowly without her notice. "Its 12 am! Happy Birthday Stellar!" He greeted in a loud happy manner while embracing Stellar as she did the same.
"Thank you Auel!" She withdraws from him and suddenly kisses him on his cheeks. Auel blushes and become tense but didn't show it to Stellar. He gets Stellar hand then gets something from his pocket and put it in her palm. "What is this? A gift?" She asked happily focusing her eyes on Auel's gift.
"It's a ring, can't you see it?" Answered Auel jokingly. Seeing Stellar's plain reaction he asked "Don't you like it?"
"I like it!" She puts it in her left ring finger and shows it to the disppointed Auel. "It's beautiful isn't it?" she said. She again embrace him as his disappointment finally eased. The two spent the dawn together, talking, laughing and watching people as they passed by.
When morning came, Stellar went home and was delighted when her father and mother are there waiting for her return to celebrate her birthday. They bought a very big cake and pizza. Her mother hugs her together with her father. For Stellar, her birthday is her most awaited day in the year not because of the gifts or foods from her parents but because they stop working during her birthday. She shows them the ring given to her by Auel. Their gift is a guinea pig. She was really overwhelmed that she couldn't wish for anything else.
After their short celebration, Stellar gets a slice of cake and went to Auel's apartment. She knocked and after a while Auel opened it. She went inside without any word, Auel's mother isn't home yet, he saw the slice of cake. "Is that for me?" he asked sleepily.
"Haven't you slept yet?"
"I haven't." He gets the cake and starts to eat it with his bare hands which put Stellar to an annoyed mood. "But I'm hungry."
"Stop it! I'll get a fork for you." She went to the kitchen and gets one but when she came back, Auel is already finished eating and is now sleeping. "Now he's dirty" she looked around and everything was a mess. "This place is a mess." She cleans the whole place then went home.
When night came, Stellar's mother told her to wait there and left while her father wasn't wake yet and is still in the room. She went to her room to look at the guinea pig. "I haven't given you any name yet, what shall I call you?" She looked at her ring. "Do you want Auel?" She then laugh and said "No, if Auel knew this, he'd be mad at me." She again looked at the guinea pig. "You're a guinea pig right? Then, I shall call you guinea. But I'll change the spelling. Let's make it, G.I.N.N.I.E. Ginnie." She gets her pet from the cage and kissed it. Because of this, she remembers her father and wants to thank him again. "Let's go to father and thank him for bringing you to my life Ginnie." She gets Ginnie's cage and went to her father.
She knocked several times in her father's room but no one open it. She starts to be nervous so she shouts while trying to open the doorknob but it's lock. She gets her key from her room and opened it hastily. When she's inside, she went immediately to her father but when her hand lay on his body, she felt cold. She moved away tensely not knowing what to do. She again went near and holds her father's body. But soon realize that he was dead.
"Aaahhh!..." She cried horribly but then embraces the dead body and cries loudly while shouting, "Wakeup!" she doesn't stop until she heard somebody opening the door. She stands up and run outside the room not minding her tears which continuously fall. She saw her mother and without hesitation she run towrds her. "Father's dead!" she said. She pulls her mother but she just let go of her.
"I'm sorry if his dead." Was her mother's cold reply.
"Then see him!" cried Stellar she again try to pull her mother but she just push Stellar that she fell on the floor. "Why?!" She cried hysterically.
Feeling sorry for what she did, she went to Stellar. "I'm sorry Stellar; I didn't mean to push you."
Two men came in and looks at Stellar. "Is she the one? She's very pretty, she'll be a good source of income."
Stellar's mother nod. "She's my daughter Stellar, she's all yours." Stellar stands up immediately eyeing them angrily including her mother. "I'm sorry Stellar; they'll kill me if I'll not give you to them. Everything will be alright, come with them."
"You killed father! Am I right? You killed him!"
"Come with us now little girl, your mother sold you to us that's why you're ours now." Said the first man. The other man went near Stellar but she suddenly saw a scissor from the near table and gets it.
"Try coming near and I will kill you!" She warned pointing the sharp scissor to them. The second man stop, Stellar eyed her mother madly. "Why did you kill him?!"
Her mother just cry, she stands up facing the first man. "I'll work for the money; I'll pay all my debts but please don't get my daughter. She's all I have now… I killed her father because he won't agree but I won't give her anymore." She kneels to them but a gun was shot to her and she fell on the floor dead full of blood.
"Come with us if you don't want to have the same fate like your mother." Said the man.
Stellar runs to her father's room and locked herself inside. "They'll kill me." She went to her father crying. "Father, mother's killed." She again heard loud shots of gun. Somebody knocked on the door but she kept quiet until she heard that it was Auel and opens it. "I'm so afraid, Auel."
"It's alright, I already get rid of those two but I think they have their fellows are waiting for them." He gets the phone. "Do you know the number of the police? We need help." But before he could dial he smells something burning. He went to the living room and saw it on fire. "They want us killed."
"Kill us? Auel!"
Auel hold Stellar "We won't be killed ok?" trying to calm Stellar. "We'll run outside." He tried to open the window but it's steel. "Damn!" He said angrily. He tries to open the door but it's locked. He went to Stellar's room and saw a large window where they can run. The smoke starts to darken and it becomes difficult to breath. "Stellar!" Stellar came holding Ginnie's cage. "Let's go!"
"What about father and mother?"
"They're dead, we need to get out."
"I won't leave them." She said crying. Auel still pull Stellar and the two went outside. When Auel felt safe he suddenly realizes that they saw them.
The two run fast but they can't get away. They really want to get Stellar or get them killed. It was really dark. The two reached the river. What will I do now? We'll get killed. Think Auel. He thought while pulling Stellar but he saw one of them. Auel left Stellar and sneak behind the man then gets his gun and killed him. He went back to Stellar as they continue to run and try to find a place to hide.
"Don't try to run anymore, give us the girl! She's ours now!" Upon the hearing the voice Auel stop and so is Stellar. "That's right, now don't move." When the man moves towards them, Auel shot him twice killing the man but he was also shot. He then now targets the other man but he was shot again. Blood starts to drip from his wounds as Stellar holds him. Auel who is now helpless tries to think.
"Run Stellar, when I told you to." Stellar still hold Auel tighter. "Do what I say. I didn't go to your place just to let you die, I came to save you."
"What are you two talking? Just give me the girl." When the man is now really near. Auel push Stellar hard.
"Run Stellar!" Stellar didn't move instead she's staring blankly. "Run or you'll be killed." Hearing those words made Stellar to run without delay.
The man tries to follow Stellar but Auel shot him. "Run Stellar." He said then someone shot him from behind.
When Stellar got away from them, she stop under a tree and there she waited until morning. When morning came, she was so helpless and it seems that she's somewhat out of her mind that she stands up holding the cage. She now reached the road; she walks straight trying to get to the other side.
A guy driving a car and doesn't look on the road but instead on the roses he bought. "She'll like it." Then he looked and saw a girl crossing the road. "Is she out of her mind?" he tried to stop the car before he reaches the girl but the she loses her consciousness. Worried about the girl, he went down the car and look at her. The girl suddenly gained consciousness.
"save me." She said then fell unconscious again.
