Lockers Orphanage Chapter 1 PART 1

[Nowo's POV]

It all started at that magical place called HIA. It is an agency-slash-orphanage, where all orphans are allowed to work for their own living when they reach the legal age of 18. They were taking care of neglected children by adopting them, providing their needs, and by showing them the real love of a parent they were all longing for. To share and bring fun is what the HIA aims for. I know, right? It is indeed amazing to have met such a great place like this. Also, I'm really thankful to have met the most naughty and a little bit nice best buddy of mine. Omo, I really do miss him a lot.

I thought everything I knew about HIA will be the last things I will ever know about it. I thought it's going to be that easy since it all went right when a person took me there. But when I reached 18, everything turned different from what it was before. I got trained, started to work, and do whatever task is on me, I even became like the attentive agent before when I was starting. Kidding. My mind was always gone with the wind, so I received a lot of bad compliments rather than good ones. I give my whole life working there, 'cause I just find it like a safe haven. I mean it, no jokes. It seemed happy from the first few weeks, until one day.

"A reminder just came from our founder, please check your lockers immediately. Good luck and have a sweet nightmare."

Why in the world would he say such a word? Like 'Oh my Lord', what's with the "Have a sweet nightmare?" It gives me the creeps and goosebumps every time that anonymous person is on MOD stand. He never showed his face to anyone, I guess, but who knows? About the lockers, once you turn eighteen and complete training, your trainer will give you a key which is for your locker, obviously. Well, I'm on high rank now, but I've never opened that locker. Since we were told to do so, I'm going to see what's inside for the very first time, and I'm freaking nervous. As I walk down the stairs, 'cause the locker room is an underground room, someone bumps into me like she did it on purpose. I'm about to nag on her, but she disappeared like a ninja. I'm serious; she really did. I just ignore it, since I'm not sure if it's just a part of some hallucinations of mine because of that order. Not only that, but I finally got here, and I'm now standing in front of my locker. The key is already inside the keyhole, and I'm going to open it right now; my heart is pounding like a drum whose drummer is so angry at hitting it. At the count of three, I did slowly open it.

"Waaaaaaaaaah!" I screamed.

There is someone who startled me :(

"You're so freaking cute, Nowo," he said, and then laughed like there's no tomorrow.

"You know, Moha, I'm just cute, but I'm not freaking. So will you please get out of my face or I'll give you the cutest punch you deserve?" I calmly said.

"Woah, haha, take it easy, I just miss my best friend." He murmured. "Alright, it's ok. I miss you too, but not that much, 'cause my life's way peaceful when you're not around." I added.

"Woah, that was hard." He gave me his unfamiliar look. "Well then, bye for good, my dearest Nowo." he added. I got his right hand when he's about to leave.

"Sorry, I was just suffering from depression these past few weeks. I have no one to spill these things out since you left. Hope you did understand." I said.

"I'm sorry then. I didn't mean to do that; I was just forced to." He uttered.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Nothing." He smiled. "Come on, let's open our lockers together or else someone will come here to give us a warning for not following what is said to." he added.

"Aye." I answered.

As I opened my locker, lights came out, everything turned white................. And then black, and It feels like I'm blinded now. It took a few minutes, I don't know how long, until I got my sight back. When I finally am able to see everything, all of it truly shocks me.

"What just happened?" I murmured.

I slowly orbit, to see everything clearly. Not only that, but I even pinch myself to know if it's a dream or reality. The orphanage is not what it used to be anymore. What I'm seeing right now are places to train different kinds of martial arts, battle areas, there are lots of unfamiliar creatures which I've never seen in my eighteen years of existence here in an orphanage. What even made me shocked is I know what to call them, like those fairies, gnomes, centaurs, mermaids etc.

'By the way, where is Moha? Is he here as well? I am pretty sure we've opened our lockers at the same time.' I uttered in my mind.

I started to walk with a task on my mind, which is to find my best friend. Furthermore, I honestly don't want to be alone anymore. But it looks like I'm destined to live alone. I feel like everyone hates me. It's not like I have some kind of contagious disease which is a valid reason to get away from me, but that is not possible. I'm stronger than Hercules to beat the illness.

As I was taking my own path to find Moha, someone called me.

"Nowo."

It is some kind of little voice which I guess is coming from the right side. I quickly search for that someone who just spoke my name, then I see a fairy. She's very lovely and pretty.

"Hiya," the fairy said, and then she smiled at me.

"Uhm...hi," I answered, and then I smiled back.

"I'm Lane, your guardian. I will be your weapon to protect yourself from danger until you have learned how to fight on your own, I will also be your guide in everything you do, everywhere you go. You and I will share just one life, so we must protect each other. But don't worry, I'll never let someone harm you as long as I can," she murmured.

"We share just one life, which means-"

"Yes, which means if I die, you'll have the same fate as me," she said.

"W-w-wait," I said, stammering. "Everything happened so fast, and I really am confused right now, like, where is everyone? What am I doing here? Where is my best friend? What is happening? I used to be a worker, and now what am I now? A person who just popped into this kind of weird place?" I added.

I do feel really nervous and confused at the same time.

"I'll explain everything to you when you're ready." After she said those words, which really makes me curious about what is behind all of these?

She moved both of her hands, and then she spilled some kind of glowing dust on top of my head; I felt sleepy, and my feet are like going to collapse anytime.

'What is happening?'

'I thought she'll be my guardian?'

'Yet she did manage to hurt me like this.'

After I uttered those words in my mind, I suddenly lost my consciousness.

****

"When you suddenly feel like you're not safe anymore, and no one in this place you can trust but yourself. About trusting someone, you must let them gain it, not just give it. 'Cause you'll never know who's real and who's just a part of a dream. It might be confusing, but let your heart lead you to your destination. You have it pure. So you can continuously walk on your path without any worries. Remember to be wiser than smarter."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
