World hidden within the world of our own
~~~Cassie's P o V~~~
I was shocked by the amount of emotion I held behind my words and I figured it could be that I let my agitation take control over me which in return prompted me to speak with Jared a bit louder than how I intended.
Raising my voice was a mistake on my part and if I have to be honest, I really did not mean to talk in such a manner. That was why I was relieved when the other party did not take my action to heart.
"Alright, there is no need for you to be mad at me. I get it, okay?"
That was all he said before he started walking away from our table and since I no longer have to be told twice, I started tailing him.
Jared already extended me an invitation to come with him after the conversation so that we could get things started on our end.
Before anything else, I would like to mention that it was not part of my nature to come to someone's house just because a man told me so.
But although it was not something that I would normally do, I reckoned that an exception has to be made whenever a situation called for it; and if this was not yet considered as one of those dire situations, I did not know what else should.
Nothing more was needed to be said other than extreme circumstances required extreme measures.
Likewise, I have no idea where on earth Jared was planning to take me. All I knew was that his place was not too far away from where we were at the moment.
According to him, it would only take us a few minutes of walking if we would take the shortest route and by shortcut, he was meaning to say that we have to take an alley.
Before I knew it, we had already taken a sharp turn on the left side and we entered a dark and narrow alley.
Dear me...
I could only hope that I would not land myself a spot on the newspaper headline by the end of this day as the newest victim of a serial killer.
Likewise, at this point, I realized that I actually have multiple realities to choose from.
It was either I was about to open another Pandora's box that not only would change my life completely but also saved my friend at the same time.
Or I am just simply a mentally unstable person who allowed itself to fall prey to the ploy of a conniving and sick bastard who wanted nothing else from me but to take advantage of the fact that I am losing my mind.
Also, there was this small chance that my best friend was perfectly sane and she just really hated me deep down to her very core for her to fantasize about killing me with her bare hands.
Whichever it might be, I am aware that none of them sounded like a good option. But I must say, I am more inclined to believe that it was the former.
A big part of me wanted to give its trust to Jared. After all, I spend almost half of my life searching for answers but so far, he was the only person that was able to give me an exquisite explanation of the mysteries that had surrounded me my entire life.
But despite that, I still could not shake this doubt off of my system and I think that the only way for me to get rid of this feeling was to see this thing to its end.
I wanted to confirm by myself if a world beyond this world we knew of indeed existed for real.
Truth be told, I wanted to believe this idea so bad that I am willing to bet my life for it. Because if what Jared said was true about a world hidden within the world of our own, perhaps I could find my parents there.
But even though I gave Jared a chance to prove everything to me, I still remained vigilant and was on the constant lookout for possible unwarranted advances coming from him.
I never let my guard down, not even for a second and I am prepared to make a run for my life. I am willing to ditch the plan upon the earliest appearance of a red flag
"Welcome to my humble abode."
Jared's voice cut through my line of thought and so I pulled my senses back to the present. Meanwhile, the first thing that I noticed was how healthy the grasses were on the front lawn.
His outdoor landscape was so refreshing to the eyes that I could almost feel my fatigue becoming a thing of the past just by looking at it. It was akin to a painting of healthy green foliage.
I heaved a sigh of relief the moment my eyes landed on this greenery because I figured that there was no way a place as calming as this one, would house a vile person.
It was my reckoning that bad people would taint their place one way or another. On the contrary, I never felt safer anywhere else but here.
As a matter of fact, I could no longer remember when was the last time I feel at ease like this. It was like I come across a reset from the harsh world.
But the thing was, Jared's house was not exactly a sight to behold. Other than its well-maintained curtilage that was comparable to viridescent vegetation, there was nothing else that was so special about the residential area anymore.
But still, it was hard to deny the fact that the place gave off a sense of vitality.
