A/N : Some people read this, and no one reviews (either exits in the middle, don't want to continue reading this or don't know what (or how, maybe...) to review). Yeah, I can tell you this. I'm not a normal story author. Almost every story I make are probably a bit strange. Yeah, I have to admit it. I just can't help it. Normal fandoms are boring for me, though sometimes I read them.
Okay, I didn't make this chapter only to be filled with me blabbering about not being reviewed.
Please notify and forgive every mistakes I made. Nothing's perfect, except the God Himself.
Disclaimer : I don't own anything except my plot, and my OCs : Jojo's biological daughter, namely Celis, and other OC that will be introduced later.
Chapter 4 : The Strange Girl.
Celis woke up on her bed in the next day. Jojo was nowhere to be found on his bed, but Celis had gotten used to it.
She went out from her bedroom. The hall was as noisy as usual in every morning. Being in the house with 100 people, including her, she considered it normal. The problem is, she had to make way for some younger girls who rushed toward the dining room without even noticing the people in front of them. Even Jojo's dad could be the victim of his own daughters, or to be exact, the most likely victim.
Celis finally arrived to the dining room, after avoiding the horde of Jojo's sisters –slash- Celis' aunts from running her over 3 times, thanks to her trained reflex moves. She saw that everyone was already there. She took a glance at Jojo, whose plate was clean. He didn't seem to notice her, but she just smiled at him as she went to her own chair.
Just as Celis almost finished her breakfast, her Whophone rang. Celis quickly checked it, and saw that it was Tabby. "Um, excuse me. It's urgent." Said her as she went out. Jojo narrowed his eyes. He really wondered what was going on.
"Yes, Tabs?"
"Hey, Cel. You already woke up?"
Celis just laughed, "If you're calling just to ask if I have a good night sleep, please end the call right now."
"Ha, ha. No, it was not my plan. I just wanna make sure if you're alright or not. Did he..."
"No. No bite mark on my neck."
"You sure?" Tabby sounded really suspicious, mixed with joking expression.
"No. You can check it out... Oh right, you're miles away from here."
"Okay, okay. Let's get serious. I think I found something."
Celis' eyes widened. Her face lit up as she heard about the news. "Please tell me you've found a cure!" she shouted excitedly.
"Well, I can't say I really have something, but this might help."
"Fire away."
"I just remembered that I had a strange friend in Whoville High."
"Yeah?"
"She often wears all black, has an odd necklace charm. She sometimes mutters in some strange languages."
"And?" Now Celis didn't seem to be very interested.
"Did I mention that I think she has red eyes?"
She was really surprised, "Wait, you mean, could she be…?"
"Uh-huh. And I don't think she's not an ordinary one. I think she's also a witch. Look, I'll tell you later when you got here, okay? See ya later!" With that, the call was ended. Celis quickly rushed outside. She accidentally tripped in the stairs, sprained her legs. "Ow, I can't feel my legs!" shouted Celis in pain. As she recovered, she ran to the door and went outside to Tabby's house.
"Wait… what was that again?" asked Celis.
"Some bullies angered her and suddenly, she raised her hand while muttering something we didn't understand and those bullies flew in the air. They were literally defying gravity. Wow, can you truly imagine that?" replied Tabby.
Celis and Tabby had discussed about the strange girl in Tabby's room. The more Celis heard about the girl, the more she was eager to meet her. "You think she could help us?"
"Probably, Cel. I never really talked to her, since she was an outcast. Well, there was a day when we were doing some project together on her house. I should tell you, it was a horrifying manor. It was like a haunted house or something. You sure you wanna go there? 'Cause I'm not really sure. It's really far from here."
"Don't worry, I have something that can get us to the destination really fast. Follow me to the observatory." Both Tabby and Celis went out from the house and headed to the old observatory.
Tabby and Celis went behind the building. They didn't go up, which was strange for Tabby. "We aren't going up?"
"Nah. We made it in the bottom."
"Made what?" asked Tabby.
"This." Celis pushed a big covered thing and uncovered it, revealing a buggy. "We made it last week. Took days to construct the parts and chassis, hours to put them together, and some minutes to test it."
"Wait, you mean you two didn't go to school just to build this thing?" Tabby exclaimed. She remembered that last week, Jojo and Celis were nowhere in sight. So this is what they were doing.
"Uh, yeah. We just think this thing might be useful sometimes, which it is now."
Tabby looked at the car. It was pretty small, but enough for 2 people. She examined the interior of the buggy. There were a seat in the front, and another in the rear. Sure enough, it was 2 man transport.
"Alright. We don't have all day. Let's just rev the engine and go. You know where her house is?" asked Celis as she went inside the car.
"Sure, I'll give you the direction. You drive."
"Hang on Tabs. This is not an ordinary vehicle." Tabby suddenly had a strange feeling about what Celis had just said. She buckled the seat belt and hold the seat tightly. "Here we go."
The buggy shot out with an incredible speed. "WHOA!" exclaimed Tabby as she was thrown back.
The car speeded on the rough terrain, but Celis seemed to be in control of it. "So, where are we going again?"
"Keep driving to that direction. There'll be a street. Once we're on the road, follow the track and we'll be there."
Soon enough, the car arrived on a quiet street. It was almost like there was no life there. "You sure we're in the right place, Tabs?" asked Celis. "It looks like a ghost town."
"That's Karen, always trying to avoid the public. We're there."
The car stopped in front of a gothic manor. Tabby had described it really accurately. It was like a haunted house, like the ones on movies and cartoons.
"Well, here goes nothing." Said Celis.
"Oh dear." Muttered Tabby.
And they knocked the door.
A/N : I'll continue this soon. Whoever wants me to continue, please review.
