PROLOGUE
"Hey Jeremy, get your ass off there, we will be living soon, the lorry is here" Jenny screamed as she kick the dust off her feet
"I'm coming, I went to get some toys for Billie" Jeremy yelled referring to his little dog. They are actually preparing to go on a journey to their Grandpa's little cottage, just at the eastern part of Eulauf, a quiet and lovely place to have a vacation and Christmas Eve.
Eight years Jeremy has always longed to visit his grandpa's cottage. Ever since his father died, when he was still little; Christmas hasn't been that enjoyable. His mom only takes him and his sister to a cinema on Christmas Eve, and also goes to a small catholic church, just a mile from their house; for a morning service. Boring right? Yea..
On their arrival, they will have their own little feast, play games and watch TV. No visiting of friends, relative or neighbours, no going to the park for a ride on merry go round, no tour and not even a few days vacation. Well, he became a bit delighted when his mum told him about her sudden arrangement to visit grandpa's cottage. Enrage with delightment, he went ahead and told his schoolmates about it, stating a lot of exciting moment he will experience at the cottage.
"Really, Jeremy, your Pa's cottage is in the eastern part of the city, that place is damn boring, it's a country side" Tom, an annoying classmate said to him
"It's not that boring, my pa has a large farm where he rear livestocks. I will get to meet them; he will also take me on a ride in his car. Jenny told me he also has a horse" he will say with glees while they will stare scornfully at him
"Anyways, spend your Christmas eve the way you want it dummy; riding on your Pa's old ass. As for me, my dad is taking me to France for the holiday...get us lots of gist when you get back from that old cottage of yours" Tim, tom's twin, mocked, as the others laughs hard before walking away
"Remember the write up miss Jean asked us to write when school resumes, try to get an ugly adventure to write down okay..." Tom yelled from afar
Yea, he can't just be among their crew, no one wanna be his friend. They see him as a nerd who doesn't travel on vacations. Perhaps the little adventure he will experience at his Pa's cottage will make his write up interesting.
"Miss Jean will be proud of me, I will write about how I spent my Christmas holiday in my Pa's cottage, it will not be a fiction this time" he thought hopefully
"This is surely gonna be a good adventure..........
Chapter one
Jeremy POV
The ride to Pa's cottage was kind of silent. Mum was reading some articles on her favourite magazine while Jenny kept caressing her little doll.
I just cast my view outside the window, staring at beautiful trees and houses; also listening to the soft music played on the radio; Heal the world by Michael Jackson, yea my favourite artist. Billie made a quaky howl from the back of the lorry; this made me felt pity for him
"Mum...can we get Billie and bring him here, the sun is scorching him over here" I pleaded
"Come on baby, it's just a dog, whereas Pa's cottage is not more than a few miles away, let him still be there" Mum muttered, not taking her glance away from the magazine
"But mum...." I whined
"Come on Jeremy, this place is barely enough for us and you still wanna bring in a dog to inconvenient us" Jenny sparked
"But you are with your doll, why didn't you leave it in the trunk" I snapped
"Cos it's not a dog" she seethed
"You are annoying"
"Remember that I'm older that you dimwit"
"You are just twelve, idiot" I barked
"You are nothing but an eight year old boy, who is a dummy pet lover"
"Mum...can you hear what Jenny called me" I screamed, already at the verge of tears
"Enough kids, let's continue our ride in peace, when we get to...harrghhrr...watch out!!!" Mum screamed at the driver, who halted the lorry abruptly
"Oh!!!No, did I hit her" the lorry driver gasped and got down, followed by mum, Jenny and lastly me.
"She is just a little girl, awwwnn, I guess you hit her a little" Mum said, referring to the little village girl, sprawled on the ground in front of our lorry. She seems to have crossed the path without looking and got hit by the lorry.
"What are we gonna do now mum" I asked
"Are we gonna leave her here" Jenny chipped in
"Hmm, no we can't, she is coming with us. At least, let's get her to wake up and get a better treatment, she might be able to find her way after that" Mum stated, as she tried to lift the body of the fainted girl of the ground, with the aid of the lorry driver.
"But mum, we doing know she is, how are we just gonna take her with us" jenny grumbled
"Can't you see, she is hurt" Mum whispered, pointing to her bleeding knee
"And we are responsible for it"
"It's not our fault, she wasn't looking her way. What if she is a bad person, she might hurt us" jenny cried out, staring at the girl's body, which was placed in the lorry
"She is just a girl, come in kids" Mum muttered. We got in and the engaging was ignited
"Mum....." I called
"Yes baby"
"What if she is a witch, look at her hair" I whispered, mum chuckled loudly
"Why the wild thought darling, perhaps she is homeless, that's why she is looking this way. She is not a witch okay" She said and patted my hair, I shrug
"Hunn, now we are super tight here, this girl has taken up my space" Jenny growled
"Well good for you, you never wanted me to bring Billie here at first" I resorted, sticking out my tongue in mockery
"Fuck you asshole" She gritted
"Bitch" I muttered under my breath and stared at the strange girl. I noticed her eyes fluttered a bit, she opened one eye and winked at me, wearing a big mischievous smirk.
"Hi, what's your name" she asked smiling
"My name is Jeremy" I returned the smile
"Is it my ears, or do you suddenly start talking to yourself? For Christ sake who asked of your name" Jenny asked
"Me...didn't you hear" I glance back at the girl, but she was just the way she was. Her eyes were closed and she looks stiff. But she spoke to me just now, or was I hallucinating. Mum and Jenny kept staring at me, waiting for a reply, but I was baffled beyond words, is it that they didn't see or hear when she spoke, this is weird, I thought
"Erm, nothing, I was just practicing a simple introduction. I might meet new friends over there in Pa's cottage" I muttered with a weary smile, jenny scoffs
"Only Grand pa and Grandma lives there, and whereas who will wanna become friends with you" she cracked
I don't even have the time to reply her, my mind is clouded with the thought of the strange girl. Am I really gonna spend this Christmas, together with this strange girl
"Huunn, this is gonna be a long Christmas" I yawned
"Yea baby" Mum said
"Hmm, wish she knows what I'm talking about...
**************************
Getting to Pa's cottage, the lorry stopped abruptly in front of the house, as it made a weary sound.
"Hunh, I hate this lorry, it's too old" Jenny scoffs earning a hard glare from the lorry driver, as he opens the door
"It might be old but it's still active" said the lorry driver
"Whatever" Jenny grunted, picking her doll as she jumped down with the others
"Mum, are we gonna leave her in the car" Jeremy asked, staring at the girl
"No baby, we are...." She muttered
"Oh my God!! They are here already, hurry up Mabel, go bring in their luggage" grandma said as she walked briskly towards the lorry
"Grandma!!! Jenny and Jeremy yelled at the same time, running to hug her
"Hey children, you won't wanna injure granny, be gentle" their mum yelled, while they giggled, granny chuckled
"Oh my babies are looking so cute and grown up" She smiled and pecked their cheeks
"Granny, you look beautiful too" Jeremy said
"Yea, just like me" Jenny winked, wriggling her brow
"Huhn, ugly bitch, you look like a Bilie's poop" Jeremy snapped, glaring at her
"Shut up dimwit, you are as ugly as the devil...idiot" she snapped back
"Come on darlings, you both are my cutie pies. Wanna hear something nice?" she asked, they nodded
"Well granny prepared your favourite dish, come, come, let's go in...oh my..who is she..what happened" she muttered, sighting the lorry driver who is bringing in the injured girl
"She was hit, she needed to be treated" their mum said
"Oh my...bring her in, Mabel, go call the village physician, someone is injured here" granny yelled at their maid, who hurriedly went on the errand. The girl was brought in and placed on a neatly arranged bed as they tried to stop her bleeding.
"Take this and place it on her knee, it will help stop the bleeding before the doctor arrives" Granny said, giving a lead to their mum as she did exactly what is required
"Granny, where is grandpa" Jeremy asked with arched brow
"Oh, he went to check on one of his farms, he got lots of birds for his poultry farm today, he went to supervise the delivery"
"Ok, I will like to see his farm someday" he mumbled
"Sure you will darling" she chuckled, immediately Jenny's stomach growled
"Ahnn, I'm damn hungry, I could eat a buffalo right now" She yawned as they all laughed.
The strange girl flicker her eyes open, stared at them all and smiled inwardly. She shut them back without their notice.
