CHAPTER 2

Here I am trying to find a good position for this thing in this small room of mine, so it won't bother me or get in my way.

I pushed it on the back of my door but figured that it would be hard for me to get out. So I started pushing it again despite its heavy weight at the side of my bathroom door. I thought I finally found a space for it but later on I constantly get scared of it, mistaking it for some stranger inside my room and to be honest I feel a little uncomfortable going out of my bathroom with just my towel on to cover myself. CRAZY! I feel like an idiot you know?! I even blush sometimes because of its intense stare. So before I die from heart attack or totally go insane; I pushed it again this time on the right corner of my room where I can't see him directly from my bathroom.

Despite being busy at work I often feel bored, alone and sad when I'm at home until i developed a very weird hobbit which is talking to this mannequin like a real person. Now you can say I completely lost my sanity! Well I think that too! So carry on!

Imagine me every morning offering it breakfast, and bidding it goodbye when i leave for work, then when I reached home and I'm not too tired to talk I share my eventful day with it. Oh god what is happening to me?! Really! I too am bothered of my weird behavior lately. Maybe this is what I get for having very few friends (my workmates) and being away from my family. Poor me!

Another tiring day is over; I was so exhausted it felt like every step I take on the stairs is draining my remaining strength. Today wasn't like any regular days at work. A couple rented Maid Latte to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. The place was filled with roses and heart shape balloons "yucky love staffs". Looking at the couple and their guests playing the love games that we hosted for that event was kinda making me feel sick! I can't help but wonder if their sweetness was only pretense. Hey! No one can blame me on being like this! Growing up with my SO COLD FAMILY! I mean.. Yeah I saw my parents talk but only when they fight! See?! Sigh!

One more thing my co-workers teased me always about not having a boyfriend at this age. They are good people though, but when their teasing mode is ON I swear I just wanna disappear and go to another planet. And today's event gave them the license to tease and mock me more.. Really! it SUCKS! They were eying me the whole day laughing at my actions and the curses that escaped my mouth every time I see the couples doing some lovey dobby things like kissing and exchanging sweet messages for each other. OH COMMON! GET A LIFE!

I remembered a conversation with my workmate Erika a hopeless romantic girl they say.

"I really don't understand these people!" I murmured inside the kitchen thinking I'm alone until I heard some giggles. My body automatically turned to the source of that sound.

" Misaki.. I know you hate all these because of what you've seen and been through as a child. But you can't go on avoiding and hating love forever. Someday you will eventually find someone to care for or the other way around." She smiled at me kindly. I blushed and looked away as I forced a laugh. I even stammered when I talked.

"Please spare me Erika. I don't think I will ever be able to change what I believe about love." I confidently stated. She just shrugged and turned to walk away while saying "you'll never know Misa.. love moves in many mysterious ways."

Finally! I've reached the 3rd floor and I was standing in front of my door. I muttered the words "Mysterious huh?" I opened my door only to be greeted by the handsome face of my mannequin friend. I smiled at it "Hey there! How's your day? Well if you'll ask me, which I know you wouldn't; my day's not fine at all!" I settled my things down and i took a bath quickly and change into my pajamas. I sat on the floor across the mannequin. Once again I was staring at its emerald eyes "you know you have very nice eyes" Here I go again with my weird hobbit!

I stayed on my position since I have nothing else to do and actually I'm too tired to move. I kept on staring at it and wondered what my brother is going to do with it when he returns. One of his crazy tricks again maybe. Poor thing.

Few minutes passed and I'm still looking at its emerald eyes. So what?! It's my only way of entertaining mysels! Got a problem with that? I sound guilty I know..

As my mind wondered over weird things I felt my eyes slowly closing. Sleep is calling me. Suddenly the lights went off! Everything's peach black! My eyes widened as I panicked! One of my biggest fears is darkness! I stood up quickly and walked near the mannequin's location. I remembered my flashlight was on its side but it's so hard to find it! So I slowly walked with my arms stretch forward fearing I might hit the wall or something. Thanks to my clumsiness I was right! I slipped and slammed onto something hard and next thing I knew my back hit the floor and that same hard thing fell on top of me. I tried to push it away but it was too heavy. I growled in frustration and suddenly felt pain on my foot!

The light went on again and my eyes automatically closed for the sudden brightness. After a few seconds I slowly opened it only to meet with the mannequins emerald ones. It was lying on top of me. My heart raced and I felt my cheeks heated up for our closeness. Hooray to my adrenaline rush! In just a blink of an eye I was able to push the mannequin to my side.

I stood up and relax myself as I breathed deeply to calm my heartbeat. I grabbed my flashlight and sat on the floor fearing the lights might turn off again. I thought of what just happened and I felt so stupid.. Really! I felt ashamed of myself!

I looked at the mannequin and it's laying face flat on the floor. I stood up to make it stand but my foot ached! I sat again and massage my pained foot but my eyes scanned the condition of the mannequin. My eyes grew wide again when I saw its hand separated from its arm.

"I'm a dead duck! Kanou's going to kill me!" I bent down to reach for the hand and to my relief it wasn't broken, the joints just got separated. "Oh gosh thank you!" as I lifted its hand when a small golden card fell from its hole. I took the card and placed it under my flashlight on the floor near me. I reconnected its hand to its arm and finished in no time. Then the light turned off again, I was still a little scared but I had my flashlight with me so I manage to relax myself a little as i leaned on the wall.

I took the card from the floor and focused my flashlight on it. It was glossy and I noticed some words written on it with black ink. I took the card near my face and narrowed my eyes to read it.

"White and dark magic collide. Let your powers unite. Create a life force and bring this Mannequin to life."

"hmm?" Then I read it again out loud and just when i finished reading it for the second time; the wind blew hard! I looked out my window and saw lightning's then followed by scary sound of thunders! The light started to flicker! I looked at the mannequin again but my eyes started to get blurry I felt so sleepy in an instant, then everything went black..

My alarm clock rang and my eyes opened wide! My head turned sideways instantly to the clocks direction. I reached to turn it off but my back stiffened, i looked at myself and realized that i slept in a seating position. I slowly touched my back when I felt another presence inside the room. My heart raced again as I slowly looked at my front. My eyes stopped at something; I felt my world froze! I inhaled so deep and even forgot to let the air out.

The mannequin was sitting in front of me. My eyes met with his Emerald ones. My body shivered! Then he grinned at me!

"What the hell! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAH!
