"Sussy, wake up! Hatsumi call 911 hurry!"
"No don't Mr Chi, Im ok promise" I mumbled my head hurt and my shoulder where I seemed to have landed. I look up into the worried face of Mr Chi and his wife Hatsumi Chi.
"What happen darlin?", Mrs Chi asked as she and Mr Chi helped me up.
I couldnt answer them I just started to cry and hugged them both close.
"Shhh, relax sweetie, take a deep breath, good girl now another one." Mrs Hatsumi's soft voice floated over me and did as she bid me. All of a sudden a strange calm filled me.
"Good now that you're relaxed, what to tell us what happend, Ae-Cha." I smiled at the nickname he's givin me. Mr and Mrs Chi never had children and have made me a member of their family so they've named me Ae-Cha meaning "loving daughter". It was nice they'r family knew me and accepted me as their adopted daughter (Although Im not legally their daughter I have my real parent whom Im close to)
"Ae-cha?"
"Mirell's dead Ap-ba" I whispered as tears starting to flow form eyes again, " I just called the airlines there were no survivors. Ap-ba I have to go. I have to bring Mirell home."
"I'll arrange everything, let me just start making some calls, but you must be patient Ae-Cha getting into China will take a few days maybe weeks" Mr Chi said and he walked out to the balcony cell phone in hand.
"Ae-Cha, do want me to call you're parents?" Mrs Chi asked softly.
"No, I don't want to tell them yet. I need to have everything worked out before I call say
anything to them. Plus they left for the crusie this morning there's no way to contact them until they get back unless I call the cruise line and Im not going to do that."
"Very well darling..." Mrs Chi looked up startled to hear the doorbell, "I wonder who that could be" and she walked to the door.
Id forgotten the dinner I order lucky for me it was my favorite delivery boy.
"Hey David, set the food on in the kitchen while I get you a check." I walked over to my purse and wrote out the check and as I was placing it back in my bag I saw somethign shiny at the bottom. When I pulled it out it was the little silver locket Mirell had given me for my 24rd birthday the clasp had broken to I kept in my purse for save keeping. I looked inside and smiled it was the picture we had taken a few months before when she had turned 21 a friend had taken the picture because we had gotten wasted. I took the locket and slipped into my pocket.
"Mrs Chi Im going to lay down for a while. Would mind staying here?"
"Dont worry darling, Ill get the guess room ready and Mr Chi and I will stay here with you. Im just gonna go get a few things."
"Thank you Mrs Chi, the spare keys is under the potted plant like always."
I walked into my bedroom and crawled under the covers hold tight to the locket.
*****Dream*****
"Sussy!"
"Mirell? Mirell Where are you?"
"Sussy I think you're drunk! Haha Im going to tell mom!"
"What maked you think Im drunk? Watch I'll throw this can at the trash can and miss." I threw the dang can and it landed in the trash never touched the rim
"haha I told you! You're drunk"
"Oh really and what about you? You can even walk without leaning on me"
"Nah Im fine sissy, we're just connect so I can feel that you;re drunk so I feel drunk"
"You are so full of shit! You're just as wasted as me!"
"Ok Im wasted but you know we're connect,we always have been"
"Yeah Rugrat I know, and I love you too"
"Sussy Im here!"
**********
I woke up sweating
"Mirell?!"
Panting I looked around and glaced at the clock it was 3:15am. I shivered mother had always said the magic and the unknown was always strongest in the early morning and 3:15 was the moment of revalations. I felt my right was sticky and when I looked down I saw blood and the locket stil clutched in my hand. I felt myself shiver again old supersitions are hard to forget. I go up and made sure no blood had gotten on the bed and was glad to find just a few drops on the pillow case. I went to the bathroom washed and bandage my hand and changed the pillow case. I looked at the locket once more, and I knew the message it was trying to deliver. Mirell was alive, I could feel it. I looked at my hand the blood was a sign too she was hurt but not alone. There had been four big drops of blood and another fainter spot. Five more people, but one was weak, dying maybe. I had to get to China fast.
"God protect them and guild her to safety, let no more harm befall her. In JESUS name I pray. Amen"
Tomorrow I would find away to get to China anyway that I could.
