Araia’s POV
What is he talking about?
How come they don’t know the word Human?
“Are you serious?!” I was so shocked that I couldn’t contain my voice.
Elder Baster nodded his head.
“I’m telling the truth.”
My jaw dropped, I couldn’t bring myself to ask him anymore.
I tried to organize my thoughts.
Is this for real?
My eyes roam the place, it’s hard to believe that I’m not on Earth anymore, but from what I saw…
The wolves, attacking humans, those monsters like people, this place…
No…This can’t be happening!
I collapsed on my seat, my eyes widened in fear.
“What am I gonna do?”
I don’t want to be here…
”Bea…Joseph…” My tears started to fall.
How I wish that this is all just a dream…
”Shh…I’ll help you, I’ll help you find a way to go back to your home…” Elder tapped my back.
I reach for his arms and hug him.
“Elder…” I cried in his arms.
I don’t know how I could get back on Earth, or if I can even go back there…
I don’t even know where I am!
How did I even get here in the first place?!
“Mom…”
Elder keeps on caressing my back, but instead of calming down, because of the warmth that his hug is giving me, my heart seems to be touched by it. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
I couldn’t stop my tears from falling.
My tears fell down even more.
“I want to… home…”
I don’t want to be here, I want to go back to my friends, even though mon and I aren’t that close, I still want to see her, to be with her!
I held Elder’s hands.
“Elder, please, help me get back to my family…”
If I need to plead with someone just to get back home then I will gladly do it!
I am just desperate to come home…
I want to go home…

”ARE YOU AWAKE NOW?”
I open my eyes, I search for who’s talking.
“Elder…”
I sat down.
I’m on my bed… It looks like I’ve fallen asleep while crying… Did he carry me?
“Thank you Elder, I’m sorry about earlier…”
I am so ashamed that I cried in his arms.
Elder came to me.
“It’s okay, but I think we need to talk about how you will go back to your home.”
My eyes landed on him.
“Yes elder, I’m listening.”
He nodded.
“So…”
Elder told me that since it isn’t certain yet the exact location of where I came from, he will consult a friend of his that can help us to find the truth.
He told me that he has a friend that is knowledgeable about sorcery, we’re not sure if that can help me but he will still try it. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“When can we meet your friend, elder?”
We need to meet that friend as soon as possible so I can go home.
“He’s not here, it’ll take weeks to get to his home.”
”…”
Then, we still need to wait for a week…
”It’s okay elder, when will we depart?”
”I’ll tell you about that after I finish my job here.”
Elder stands up.
“Since there’s a commotion not long ago, everyone’s still in shock and there’s areas that’s surely damaged, we still need to fix those for now.”
”Okay elder.”
That’s right.
Elder told me that he still needs to fix things outside so we’ll talk about it some other time.
When he’s finally out of the room, I lay myself on the bed again.
“I still need to wait…”
Ha…
Alright, I don’t have to be like this anymore as Elder Baster will help me.
Although I still need to wait for a week- no, because of the attack of those monsters, I think it will take a week to organize and fix things in this village so it’s possible that we’ll get to leave this place the week after next week.
I don’t have to be impatient as there’s already a way to get back home.
“Let’s just hope that Elder’s friend knows how to transport me back to Earth…”
Please…
I wonder what my friends on Earth are thinking right now, are they searching me?
How about my mom?
“I bet she doesn’t even know that I’m missing…”
But if she ever finds out, will she care?
I’m just a desperate daughter, now, I don’t want her attention, but later, I still want her to care for me, even just asking if I’m alright or asking where I went and how’s my day…
I guess that’s how a child is to their parents…
Even how many times a parent has already abandoned them, their child will still ask for their attention.
“I thought, it’s the same for the parents?”
But how come my mother isn’t like that?
She’s acting as if she’s not my real mother…
Ha…
I want to go back…
”Raia?”
