Adventure of a Lonely Heart
Chapter 1- The News
It was a warm and sunny day. Haru sat in a newly opened called 'The La Pet' Café'
at the Crossroads reading a book, drinking tea and waiting on Hiromi and her important news.
Haru was just about to pick up her cup to take another sip when the Café's bells
jiggled from the opened and closed of the doors.
Haru looked to find the familiar figure of her best friend Hiromi.
" Hiromi!" Haru called while waving to get her friend's attention.
Hiromi waved back, walked over to Haru and took the seat opposite of her.
Haru picked up the bookmark that was lying on the table and placed in between the pages where she had stopped at. She than placed the book beside the tea cup. Haru looked up at her friend and before she could say a word. Hiromi picked up the book and looked at it.
"What's this?" Hiromi asked curiously.
Haru smiled. Her friend's cruiust could kill a cat.
"Hiromi, Don't tell me after all this years in school you don't know what a book is?" Haru said with a grinned.
"I know what a book is, Haru." Hiromi said not amused. Hiromi looked at the book title and read it aloud. " 'A Love Creation' by David B. Shoeburger"
Haru started to laugh. Hiromi looked at her friend very confused.
"That's Shoburg." Haru said giggling.
"Whatever!" Hiromi said hotly." So, what's it about?"
"Well, it's about a young English Artist who falls in love with one of his works, which comes to life at night and how he tries to save it from a Duke and other things." Haru said in a dreamy voice.
"Weird, why are you reading this?" Hiromi asked.
Haru shrugged. Hiromi placed the book back.
"So, what was so important that you couldn't tell me about over the phone, Hiromi?" Haru asked.
Hiromi's face lit up. "Tsuge and I are … going to get married!" Hiromi said excitedly.
Haru was surprised, so surprised that she couldn't talk right away. Hiromi not liking her friend's silence asked.
"You are not happy about it are you?"
Haru saw the look on her friend's face and quickly said. "I am, I am, Hiromi. I just shocked that Tsuge had the courage to ask you that's all. I mean, remember when he tried to ask you out"
Hiromi smiled, she was glad her friend is happy with the marrg. "I know, he sound like he was in an earthquake" Hiromi laughed. Hiromi looked at her watch. "Oh, I have to go. See you later, Haru"
"See Ya" Haru replied. Hiromi walked out and was gone. Haru decided she too should get going. Haru picked up her book, paid for the tea and walked out.
While walking on home, Haru started to think about another wedding that happen three years ago.
'I wonder how they are doing. " Haru thought to herself.
When Haru got home, she called out. "I'm Home" which had an insentient replied of a loud thud, fallowed by softer thuds. From the living room came a cat. Haru bended down and petted the cat.
"Hello, Patches." Haru said as she petted the cat.
"Meow." Patches replied in a kitten tone.
"I missed you too, Patches. Have you been I good girl while I was gone?"
"Meow"
Haru laughed taking a good look at the cat with its fur of gold-brown, orange-yellow, and orange-red blobs made it look like it was a quilt. Haru could not believe that two years ago this cat, who is about the size of a toy cat, was smaller then Haru's hands. She had found it in a bush in the front yard. It had not opened its ear or eyes yet and was very weak; Haru was too kind to let it die so she took care of it and raised it. Now the cat was like a daughter to Haru, thou Haru never had a child. Where Haru go it goes too, any where in the house that is. When Haru goes to bed, Patches will jump on the bed and sleep with Haru.
"Meow?" Patches chocks her head.
Sapped out of her thoughts. "Oh sorry Patches. Lets go up stairs, ok?" Haru said as she gets up. Haru walks up the staircase and goes into her room after waiting for Patches to come in she closed the door. She puts the book on her desk, she than sits on the side of her bed and yawns.
"I think I will take a nap" Haru said mostly to herself. She lies down, sighs and closed her eyes. She than felt Patches jump on the bed and lay next to Haru. Haru pets Patches with her eyes closed and fall a sleep to the soft mand of the soft purring.
Haru sleeps unaware that from the neighbor's roof a large, black evil looking bird with ugly yellow eyes was watching her. It flew from the roof to the window outside of Haru's room making sure that she was a sleep, started to sing. A song that no one can hear, an evil song that (unknown to Haru) will change her life.
