CHAPTER 6✏️

❤Kayla’s POV❤️
.
Jake accompanied me home amidst my refusal and after a light peck on the forhead, he head back home.. I went in, had a bit of talk with her and had to yawn before she could let me go..
I was so sleepy that I didn’t have to reach my bed before my eyes got shut.
The next morning, after a quick yawn, I walked out of my room to get a drink.. As I drew the cup from the tray and poured a generous amount of chilled water into it, my gaze went to the freshly baked bread in the oven; I could view it through the transparent door and the odor toppled my assumption too..
Taking a sip out of the water, I walked to the oven and opened it, it was hot but not in a really pricking way so I completed the opening with my palm and I saw the large bread resting in it..
Mom must’ve made it, obviously.
She must’ve gotten up pretty early to make this considering the time. Or did she leave for work already?
I looked back and saw that a part of the bread have been chopped out.. She must’ve had breakfast so I closed the oven abd looked around for her usual morning note but I found none.
I shrugged it off and journeyed out of the kitchen, going for my room but stopped when I heard a sound, it came from mom’s room.. That means she’s still home, I walked to the door and twist the knob, paving way for myself.. I walked in.
“Mom?” I called as I stepped into her room, my gaze roaming on the travel bags and the little and medium sized packed boxes that were all lying on the floor..
“Hey, you’re finally awake!” She said with a toothy smile.
“Are you going somewhere?” I asked, taking my eyes off the bags.
“Yeah! The five days work trip. I told you about it, remember?” She asked. “It’s starting today!”
“Yeah but I thought it was just a seminary thing, I didn’t know it was a trip”
“Oh it is. And I told you I’d be leaving today!” She said, locking up her handbag.
“Oh well!”
“I already made breakfast if you’re hungry, I’ve had mine already and before I leave, I’ve got some house rules for you!” She said and I sighed, shaking my head slightly at her..
“Is that necessary mom! This isn’t my first home alone time!” I said.
“That was way back in the past but recently it’s your first longest home alone time and I have to make sure that all goes well and I’ll return to see you the way I left you” she said.
“Okay then, what are the rules?” I asked.
“First you have to make sure you never skip breakfast, lunch or dinner, I already refilled all the foodstuff and beverages so you have no excuse. No eating late nor staying out late, no matter who or what it is; same goes for partying!” I rolled my eyes as she spoke..
Like I’ve ever attended a party, well except Jake’s mom little party but I wouldn’t tick that as one. That’s how boring my life is, I wonder if it goes for my former life too, with how classic I would’ve been, I sure would’ve loved partying and have attended a lot.
“And finally no skipping of school! I’ll call you when I think of more rules!” She said before looking around..
“So um.. That’s all. I’ll see you when I see you!” Mom said and squished me closer, giving me a k-ss on my cheeks and forehead before letting me go.
I helped her with her bags to the truck and assisted her in keeping them neatly, she gave me a long hug before moving into the car..
“Bye Kay, be safe okay?” She called, igniting the car.
“Sure. Bye!” I smiled back and the truck began moving.. I sighed and walk back to the room.

The wood was clear and the afternoon sun was very visible, it shone on the plants and lightened up the place.. I made my way to the cave and arrived there to see Melvin sitting under the sun on a big stone and his head raised up..
“Are you trying to get yourself blind?” I asked, crossing over a pol of grass. “Isn’t the sun too hot for you to be staring directly at it”
“Will it surprise you If I tell you that I can’t feel any effect from it” he said, still looking up..
“Oh.. Not surprising” I said, walking to him. He faced me.
“I presume Priola has gone?” I asked.
“Yeah!” He answered.
I walked to him and sat beside him, drawing my bag forward.
“Had breakfast yet?” I asked, zipping my bag open, I took out the banana bunch and peeled one out. “Here, Priola said-
“I’m not eating that” he said and I frowned.
“But Priola-
“Yeah.. I know what she said. But..it’s not easy trying to act like human, it’s like giving myself a death sentence” he said and I frowned.
“How will you know that if you don’t even try?” I asked, sitting beside him.
“I have but it’s not as easy as I had thought” he said.
“But you have to try” I said, putting it to his face but he pulled away.. “Okay, let’s try something close” I took out a beef jerky from my bag.
“Here, you should like meat” I said, giving it to him.. He gave me a skeptical look and shook his head.. I nodded and unwrapped it, revealing the beef in it..
“Come-on” I stretched it to him and I could see his agitation.
He pushed his head to me and took a small bite from the beef, with his eyes shut, he chewed at it, fear evident in his expression.
His eyes open.. “It.. doesn’t hurt!” He stammered, giving me a surprised look. “But yuck! It’s so bitter!” He emphasized, frowning again…
“I take bitter stuffs too so it can’t be more than that” I said ans he gave me a raise brow look, still chewing on the beef. “Sorry, you’re doing well Melvin!” I said giving him a thumb up and he looked away, frowning..
“Here, have another bite!” I said and as he bent to take another, he suddenly began coughing and as he rubbed his chest, meaning to suppress it, I think it worsened cos he suddenly started choking and he grabbed his neck..
I quickly moved to him..
