Hunter's moon by Humaira277

Chapter .

"I've been talking to you for a while but you ignored me. It looks like you're lost in thought. What's the matter Edie?"

"You were talking to me? Oh I'm sorry I was kind of thinking about something. Its not really important. Sorry could you repeat what you said?"

The nurse still had that worried look on her face but she just didn't asked more.

"I was asking, how did you sutain such an injury."

"Oh I slipped on a banana peel and fell."

"Okay. Well luckily it's really not that serious. You should ice it and you'll be fine in a few days. Here, these should help you recover faster." She gave me some pain killers and I thanked her and left the chemist.

Nurse Linda has always been really kind to me. She knows what kind of relationship I have with my mom and sister but knowing that I don't really like talking about it, she normally minds her business. I went straight to the store I work and little did I know another drama awaits me.

"You little witch. So you have been lying to me about your mom sending you to run some errands for her huh? Just to get out of work. Okay since you just love having long breaks why don't you go on an even longer one. You can have all the time in the world to rest because you're fired, got it you filthy witch. Get out of my shop now." The shop owner also kept cursing me and I ignored her. I knew that I was bound to get fired sooner or later. So I kept a calm face and left her shop. She doesn't even pay me much so she's partially a blessing in disguise. But now how am I gonna take care of myself. My mom doesn't feed me or do anything for me. The only thing she does is shelter me ans nothing else. I habe to do everything for myself. And I still have to pay my pending tuition fee. How am I gonna get another job now.

[11/12, 1:13 AM] Rahma ksu: *Chapter Two*

I got tired of limping and needed some rest. Then I heard someone shouting at me.

"Hey, what are you. Blind, stupid or both. Get off the road or I'll run my car over you."

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize."

"Just get lost you fool."

Then I started limping out of the road. I had so much in my mind I didn't realize I was walking on the road until that driver started shouting out. But even after insulted I felt fine. Actually I was kind of used to being called names all the time. Even if I got into trouble my mom wouldn't stand up for me. She would always say why do I even have to go to school and meet people and fight with them. I suppose to be home working for her. I had no one to defend me. Or to even stand up for me. I was still limping and I heard arguing. I turned and I saw that driver that shouted at me and a different man. They were arguing at the top of their voices.

Why would you bark at a girl like that. Can't you see she's hurt. She can't even walk properly, look she's limping."

"Does that give her a reason to limp on the road carelessly. What if I didn't see her in time. That means if I hit her all charges would be on me all because of her stupidity."

"Could you think for one second at least and stop worrying about yourself. As far as I'm concerned you're the stupid one here."

"What did you just call me. Do you wish for a death note?"

The both of them just kept arguing over me. I stood there dumbfounded, watching the man defend me. Finally people came and separated them and the driver left. And the man came to me.

"Are you okay?" He asked me

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you."

"No problem. So how did you get hurt. Do you live around her. I can take you home. Let's go I'll give you a ride."

"Um, no thank you. I can manage. Thanks for the offer."

Then I started walking away. He came and blocked my path

"I insist I take you home. You must be really tired. And looks to me like you have alot in your mind. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Thank you for the kind gesture. But I'm ready fine."

Then I started moving away from him. But I could feel his presence behind me. He kept following me everywhere I go and it started to become very uncomfortable. But I just ignored it anyways. We've been walking for a while and I see he has no intention of leaving. Then I turned around and asked him "Why do you keep following me. I'm sure you have something important to do." The just looked at me and smiled. I don't know what the smile was for but deep down it felt nice.

"Well considering you rejected my offer to drive you home I just thought that I could walk you home. Just to make sure you're okay."

"Thank you but I think we should part ways from here."

"Okay, that's cool."

Then I turned around and starting limping again but he just crossed the road and continued following me and I decided to speak up.

"I thought you said you would leave."

"To make it more specific we agreed on parting ways, which we did. I'm not on your trail now, am I?"

He seems very persistent. But I just ignored him.

I was about to knock on the gate then I heard his voice "So this is where you live. You have a very nice house. I do want to visit you someday if you don't mind."

I turned around and looked at him and said "actually I do mind. Don't come here, okay?"

"You and I both know that I'm coming anyways, dispite your rejection."

I sighed and told him the reason I don't want him to come.

"You're mom? Don't worry I'm a lovable person. I'm sure we'll get along just fine. Hey can I have your number?" I want to let you know when I'm coming."

"Sorry you can't."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't have a phone. I don't need it."

"What do you mean you don't need it. How do you contact your mom or your friends?"

When he said friends, that word hit me so hard that I almost started tearing up. "I don't have friends. I never had any."

"What? But you must have people close to you. You know other than your mom."

"No I don't. I think it's best that you leave."

"Sorry can I get your name?"

"It's Edie." I said that to him and went inside. I was on my way to my room and I met Ellie along the way.

"Hey who was that guy I saw you with just now."

"I don't know him." I didn't even spare her a glance and went into my room and locked the door before she could come in.

"I'm telling mom you're bringing guys over. And you'll be in big trouble." I heard her through my door but I just ignored her. Then this guy came to my mind. I don't even know his name. Is he really serious about coming to visit me? I've never had someone coming to see me. Who is that man guy? Why
