A Lifeless Doll

***

“Dear, please reconsider your activities as it might cause harm to your body. Dear, I really suggest you visit a psychiatrist to treat your anxiety. Here is your prescription.” Doctor Misaki cautioned, asserted all the distinct advise she had warned her with a prescription of the medications in her hand.

“Thank you, Doc. Misaki.” She resolved, with a feeble smile.

“It's my pleasure, dear. I consider you as mine, so please take care of yourself, hmmm?” She inquired before Eva leave the room in a depleted and dispirited way.

“Yes.”

“Let's go, Maeve.” Evangelyn asserted blankly and had Maeve attended her very step from behind. She accidentally bumped into somebody and shortly slumped onto the floor but were caught by the guy who she bumped into.

Although they didn't truly bump that hard that would impel her to swoop wholly Eva was as blank as a white paper with her unlively eyes compatible to that of a doll. Her brain function was switched off that made her reacted to frivolity. She was in shock and that slammed literally shut down her sanity.

“Young Miss!” She scrambled and instantly snatched her from his hands and assisted her up.

“I apologised, sure and also thank you. How can I compensate for you?” She proclaimed, handled her mistress with one hand as another one was searching for her earpiece to reach for her team as a report.

“Code 108. I will bring her by myself.” Maeve muttered.

“It's fine.” Arden countered, was voided out from the circumstance that ensued so unaware in front of him which couldn't be observed in daily life.

“I really appreciate your kindness, sir. Please excused us...” She retreated and gently supported to hold her. Eva wasn't asleep yet, she was functionless and didn't even move a muscle. His eyes just pursued the two leaving, spaced out before a light tapped on his shoulder brought him back.

“Master? What happened?” His assistant asked after achieving the room number that he asked for.

“Its...nothing. Which room is he in?” He concentrated back to his own crisis with Eva fused inside his head.

“1068.” He sauntered away in search of the room, embarked to unravelled that remarkable clash.

Evangelyn was seated on her seat. Affirmatively, she didn't keel over or something, it's just that her mind vetoed to do nothing, tolerated herself go alike a living corpse. Doctor Misaki's statements were regardless circulated her sanities, their spectacle ahead was reiterated innumerable time without fail...

“Your health might worsen if you don't do the surgery, my dear miss. As you could see, the symptoms worsen this time and you even had to be on medications more regularly.” Doctor Misaki clarified, persuaded her to have the surgery in order to cure her disease which was awfully dangerous and life-threatening if it's not treated forthwith.

“I'm sorry, doc. I wanted to but... just give me some more times.” She pleaded, nearly begged her with blubbered eyes.

“I understand your circumstances, dear but your health should be prioritised or I can no longer guarantee how long will you hold on without the surgery.” She rationalized her motives as surviving would be a huge challenge without surgery.

“Thank you, doc. I will.” Eva smirked bitterly that struck her heart with the sorrow of how such a young girl had to go through in such a young age.

“I'm concerned about you, you see and I will always be here if you need anything.” She proposed her supports as there was nothing else she could provide her with except for encouragement and assistance.

“Yes, I know.” The discussion in her mind terminated when her room's door was knocked three times before Maeve entered with a tray of meals into her bedroom.

“Young Miss, your dinner.” Maeve indicated, displayed her the dishes on the tray which were composed by their family great chef.

“No, I'm full. I'll take the medications now.” She mumbled which acquired a troubled expression from her assistant who hardly had a dissimilar facial expression.

“But...Young Miss, it's unhealthy to take the pills with an empty stomach.” Maeve began to encouraged her to consume as she reminisced, her young miss hasn't touched anything today except for a glass of water. Even her weights were declining pronto in this period of time. She was severely underweight according to her B.M.I. or Body Mass Index.

“Its fine, Dianne. Please, the pills.” She pleaded that Maeve wasn't able to oppose her wishes and presumed to scarcely go with her as she wasn't the type to be intimidated and also successfully able to ascertained others to not.

“Here...” She handed her a glass of water with a few tablets to be taken daily before leaving with the tray full of dishes with her and came across Eva's younger sister and brother who came to check on their beloved big sister who was fastened on the bed after a tiring day. She became unstable and weaker after duration.

She shortly takes the pills in one gulp. It no longer tastes bitter as she already adopted to it that it tasted of nothing anymore.

“Sister... aren't you eating dinner again?” The second-born child into the house, Eleanor Florence, her younger sister that cherished her sister the most.

“Lea... did you eat your dinner?” Eva asked rather than countered to her sister's apprehension.

Eleanor had long realised of when she was coming into her elder sister's room, refereeing from how her tray wasn't even touched, she evidently didn't eat anything onetime similarly but that lovely smile permanently dwelled on her lips.

“I already did. Why aren't you, sister?” She asked, no connotation in lying low it if it was her sister she was conversing about as she would struggle her best to satisfy everyone's desires and hide her flaws to not make others fretted over her.

“I'm too full. Don't worry about me. What about Artie, Lea?” Evangelyn was quick to shift their emphasis before a boy popped out of nowhere into her room.

“Sister, I've already eaten with Lea earlier.” Artie or his factual name, Arthur Clarence, the youngest out of them but his witts firmly surpassed his ages. Nevertheless, he disliked learning the most and excelled in sports instead.

“That's good. Rest well and early, okay? I'm going to doze off now.” Eva forgoes to span their dialogue as expected to avert replied to any of that concerned thoughts.

“You too, sister.” They said before departed with her sisters that we're struggling to sleep despite being unable to sleep.

“Young Miss, we're here,” Maeve said, notified her who was profound in notion early in the morning. For a particular justification, they were going to school more ahead of time than they regularly did which were a first time experience for her.

“Are we? Too early in the morning, aren't we?” She inquired, scanned the weather and the gloomy surrounding which was slightly murky into the dawn.

“Yes, Miss. Would you like me to accompany you and go to the class together? It's still concerning me...” Maeve said, consulted with that poker face as ever. It's not that she was indifferent towards her, but it's just her facial expression which remarkably, seldomly transitioned.

“It's fine. I can go there by myself. See you later, Maeve.” She told before parted ways with her to their class. Practically, they were in the equivalent class but Maeve would be touring the library first to fetch the books she lacked.

“As you wish, miss...” Her words attained with a superficial bow as a loyalty indication.

‘A little eerie... just a little eerie, that's all...’ Evangelyn thought that had he clenching her hands

She went through the corridor to the school which required a student identification card to enter. The corridor was upright after the gates and also full of boards of information. She handily swapped her card and it opened automatically. A guard who was on duty greeted her and she performs the dual thing before changing her shoes to resume heading to her classroom. She opened up her locker which was equipped with a fingerprints lock and collected some books for her class. For their students, there were two lockers for each person, one besides the shoe slot and the other one in their classroom.

The stone path was leading to four varied paths which are to the official compartment quarters, to the energy restoring quarters, the mind source quarters and lastly, to the classroom quarters.

The Official Compartment Quarters ------- The principal's office, the instructor's office, meeting room, clubs room and the assembly hall were all in this quarters. In order to go to one of these rooms, ones needed to take the first stone path which would lead to these quarters.

The Energy Restoring Quarters -------- The cafeteria and the co-operative store were for students to replenished their energy particularly at lunchtime wherever it was flooded with students as they sold various type of foods there.

The Mind Source Quarters ---------- The library, art rooms, laboratory rooms, computer labs, theatre, auditorium and the courtroom. The area where students will be wielding the knowledge and moreover performing projects.

The Classroom Quarters ---------- The total of blocks were three for each year each blocker connected to each other to make touring to another year much susceptible. Furthermore, their school fields which also equipped with the track fields were behind the three blocks.

She took the fourth path to went to her classroom in an instant as Maeve took the Mind Source Quarters to go to the library that was opened relatively timely.

The library will only open it's the door when the student's ID card was swiped. It's kind of like a credit card. They also include a mini cafe inside the library where the students were eligible to munch something light while reading or discussing. There were three sections in a total of the library. The discussing sections where you could discuss the projects with friends. The total reading sections where you solely read there quietly and evade any noise. The last one was the librarian sections where there is the head counter, the librarian room and also the mini cafe.

Usually, their cafeteria would be opened early in the morning similarly in case there would be some students who went early to school with an empty stomach.

She walked to her classroom with the student ID card likewise to unlock the classroom and the lights automatically opened accorded to it's current time when someone entered the room and would shut back when there was no one in the class. Their school had a high-security alert, totally living up to its name. She placed her bag near her seats before strolled around. The class were quite pristine and was vibrant.

In any case, their student ID card was really essential as one who forfeited it had to redo it again which might take time and they had to pay for a penalty fee. Also, in most place at their school, a student ID card was mostly used to enter the room and unlock something. It's for the reason that safety was their main priority.

It's rather unsavoury and strange loitering alone in a classroom early in the morning. Evangelyn determined to go out for some fresh air and also vacating this treacherous room but there were footsteps that were gradually approaching that delivered her goosebumps all over.

It's become closer and closer and she eventually concluded to go out first from the room despite the sounds, simply assumed that she was hallucinating from the spooks and went out if the room with a brave face on but a fragile heart that was thumping like they were racing to the moon.
