1 I GOT YOU (1/2)

”Help! Anyone there... please help me... Heeeeeeelp!!!!”,..but no one comes to answer.

No one is there to save the poor little lass trap inside the burning room. Mu Lingxi kept on shouting for help. A futile attempt to save her own dear life. But the street ahead was dead silent. Only the occasional flickering of the streetlight can be seen in the empty road as she tried to push herself away from the toxic air. The only door on her room suddenly fell and then there was a sudden burst of flame.

” I'm doomed...” she said dolefully to herself as she looks back to her window where there is no sign of life since it is in the middle of the night. Then back to her room as the fire keeps on spreading so fast and soon to consume her entire room.

”Don't lose hope Lingxi, there's gonna be a way out of this... don't get scared... it's okay...” she said to herself as she tried to look out from the window down to the road and immediately lost her courage as her legs wobbled.

She was renting a room in a 13th story building and since she doesn't have that much money she was currently residing in the very last floor.

” Is this really my end?? Oh geez, I haven't got a chance to had a boyfriend yet!” she lamented.

” I thought there supposed to be the so-called adrenaline rush for this kind of desperate situation. Am I an exception of the rule?!” She wanted to cry for her misfortune.

”Well, I guess it's better to fall for death rather than to die roasted isn't? haha!” Mu Lingxi tried to joke herself as she laughs mirthlessly.

She grabs her black cat Janus then muster all her courage before she prepares herself from jumping out of her window. Hugging her cat as if she was afraid to be separated from it. Her only friend. Her only companion on this miserable life. A black cat that was believed to be a black omen just like her. In this life no one loves her. She was treated like a jinx. A plague that needs to be avoided at any cost.

Her parent died from an accident while she was still a baby and was raised by her aunts who treated her no better than a servant. The only family left that she had does not even treat her like their own blood. Since her mother was disgraced for her family after she ran away with her dad and bare a child out of wedlock. A story that her aunts never forget to tell her every single day. She never experiences how it feels to be a child. She had no recollection of playing or receiving any treats during her birthdays or even Christmas. She always needed to work hard from day until the night. She must answer all the beck and calls of her aunts and satisfy their needs or else there will be no ration of food for her on that day. During those times, she will just hug herself coiled like a fetus and slept with her hunger.

That is why when she finally reached the legal aged she immediately moved out. Working most of the times. Living from paycheck to paycheck. Mu Lingxi has nothing, have no one aside from her little black cat that she saved from some street children when they tried to drown it in a creek one day while she was on her way home back from one of her sidelines.

”I won't let you get roasted here little Janus.” she console her cat as it stirred from her embrace.

It got scared of her sudden movement as she grabs it away from a falling log. She stepped on her windowsill and closed her eyes tightly. Calming her nerves, she inhaled deeply but soon regretted doing so since the room was already engulfed by a smoke filled with danger.

”Cough, cough! what the heck!!! I was trying to internalized by demise here!” she exclaimed.
