1 The not-so-"Well" encounter

"Use the rain and bow to welcome, even from a distance the door opened for you." Page 34 of Keeping Records 16982. uttered by thin pinkish lips like a raspberry. Her ash mauve eyes scanned the book aside from a single white feather ascending on the center surface of the yellowish cover, it look plain. Her cute button nose smelled the old ink from the book. Yes this girl walking on her way to the oprhanage where ahe volunteered, look like a maniac by sniffing a bound of paper as her coal-ash long wavy hair swayed as she continue to make her way to Hope orphanage.

Lehi Lorelei it sounds like a small riddle isn't it? After the short stop shopping, the young lady arrived to the said orpahnage, it is built like a bungalow in a triangular structure with huge historal tower in the middle with an old bell on top, that is loud enough to be heared by the people within the district. The incarnation garden at the backyard is well taken care of, so is the fountain with a torch like cross enveloped by a infinity symbol. This is my favorite place, Yes this is Lehi Lorelei talking to herself, after being left alone by her friend who is on the clinic right now because a certain friend sprain her ankle and it got swollen.

This part of the orphanage is simply tranquil, my parents used to tell me that this is where they first met and fell in love with each other. That is why it is special to me, I am not expecting the same thing will happen on my romantic area but, okay crossed finger honestly yes, I hope this same thing will happen to me infront of this fountain. I remember the book that I got a while ago, I should start reading it. I am about to flip it open when a drop of something wet land on my left cheek, I look up to check if it's about to rain but fireflies are gathering on top of the fountain and the drop came from this fountain. Suddenly a huge wave consumed me, this is suffocating, I screamed for help but I only heared the tower bell respond to me.

This is beyond hilarious, my white lace long sleeve blouse with emerald linings got soaked that it stick to my skin, my long lavender skirt prevents my feet from moving and most of all this is not what I hope for infront of this fountain, I want something romantic not to get drowned by a fountain in broad daylight. I saw my white sandal float, as i raised my voice and hand for help but again only the loud sounding bell responded.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

There it is the sounding echo of the bell from the other side of the mountain. My name is Ophir Glockenspiel, Yes ladies and gentlemen it sound strange and I won't deny it. My parents name me after a lousy carving from an abandon well where they first met and fell inlove. It sound romantic and sentimental but yeah, I guess it's special. By the way my mother is a story teller, she would cross canals, lakes, valleys, streams and rivers, just to tell stories and you know what? I don't hate it, I honestly love it.

I got amused by how people react about my eyes that seems to be spiral because when your far from me it's color is brown but as you get near it blackens, some commented it's abnormal but most are fascinated. I get giddy whenever they complement my curly black and white hair that shaped my face and emphasized my nose line and jaw line that perfectly highlights my small lips.

Enough about me, right now we are in the middle of a mountain gathering sticks for preparing dinner, because tomorrow we will go down at the foot of this mountain to tell stories. And here it is my mother interrupted my brief monologue and introduction. I was about to head back when a strong gust of wind whispered gently

"Use the bow and rain to welcome even from a distance the door opened for you."

Suddenly my eyes caught a small and old well at my left side. Fireflies are gathering on top of it. My feet moved on their own as I got closer i felt my heart throb in a terrified rhythm. I am scared what if a white lady suddenly pop out from there? I did my best to peek inside and my vision captured something white and black.

My knees shake uncontrollably and then a chill went down my spine because an erie female voice came from within the well. It's confirmed this is the famous horror white lady from the well, I have to run, I steadied my feet and about to run to where my mother is, when my ears caught the echo of sounding bell.

The next thing I know I am screaming like a girl as i descend in the depth of this well.

I kept screaming because there is someone in front of me, A lady with messy long black hair wearing a long sleeve white blouse, I bowed and pleaded to spare me but her cold hand reach out to my mouth and said,

" Shut up, Your being noisy. "
