Finding Red

Ruby Red

Eating ice cream at this time of the day is really refreshing. It's a Sunday, a family day.

I can't remember having a family though

I didn't realize that this could be a perfect place to run in the morning, the ocean breeze, the birds chirping and people humming. It just feels like they have no problem at all.

It's always saddening waking up knowing that you're all alone. However, I cannot deny the benefits of making things on my own without anyone telling me what to do and what not to do.

I wonder if I have little brothers and sisters. Jeez, they'd be lucky to have me because I'm an original caring sister.

I could guide them to whatever they may do and I can help them in terms of making decisions in certain things.

"Penny for your thoughts?" sounds like Ashton

"The last person who asked me that is Ashton, I missed him though"

"You've been thinking about Ashton?"

"No, it's just that I always feel so alone and even for once I wanted to feel wanted and surrounded"

"What if I tell you that you have little brothers and sisters? It's just that everything got messed up in the emergency room and you were not located and you were just then adopted but they can't support you anymore even though they love you but they have no choice to let you go. How would you feel?"

This thing sounds like my life after all except about the emergency room thingy, the adoption told me I was found on their doorstep.

"Well, I really don't know. You see, it's really hard to assume and if there's really even just a slight possibility that I have family left for me, I'll try my best to find them and be with them. I believe that we've been wasting time after all"

"You can be a great leader someday" James answered.

"You tell me that"

"What if I tell you that everything I said was true and that your brothers and sisters can't let you go back home just because of some errands?"

"Why? Do you know something? Is the reason why we're being friends is just part of their plans to guide me? And that Jasper too is with you? And do all of the people who are just suddenly coming back to me have something to do with this?"

"I think so?"

"Then you're a psycho! Leave me alone!"

"Wait, Ruby don't leave!"

I can't believe this. He's insane.

Wait.

But I have this feeling that it's true.

Could it be?

God, I'm crying. All my life I've been searching for answers and the only answer was right here on my doorstep.

But he could be a hoax too.

Clear your head Ruby, he's just playing on you.

"Ruby! Don't go!"

"What the hell!"

And then I found myself floating, can't find a way to escape and partly being amazed and shocked of what's happening.

But then I have this feeling that I can only escape this by trying to –

And then I was already releasing fire from my hands and my hair was partly burning on the end and I could feel my skin heating up.

I suddenly threw the fire on James' left foot

"Jeez, I'm sorry! I don't know how it happ –"

"Shh, quiet love. Let me save the explanation later. Let's go home first before my appearance gets low class already. Can you drive?"

"Yeah. Let me help you there"

"No need"

And I could feel that we're turning into thin air and that all I know is that we're moving freely and fast and with just a blink of an eye we're at the car
