Bad Thoughts

“Geez, I have no idea for where to go...” I whispered. I didn’t want to follow the red string but I had to know more about this mysterious place. I had no idea what to do. Suddenly, my stomach growled. “I should find some food now...” I said. I started to walk faster, trying to find a food place. I didn’t even have coins, which is what we call money in my dimension. I missed my dimension. I had no one there because my mom and dad died from a horrible incident. I would never forget the day my parents died. I was 4 years old. They were coming back home from getting dinner. Then a random person attacked. They said the random person attcked because they never found their soulmate and they were angry at the people who did. The hardest part of their death was when I received the news. Someone knocked on the door and I thought it was them. But instead of seeing my wonderful parents, I saw my neighbors. They gave the new to me. I was miserable. A part if me died along with them, and I couldn’t seem to get that part back. My neighbors took me in their family. But when I turned fourteen, they said I had to leave and learn how to live without them before I went to find my soulmate. For a year I lived in a apartment. I saved money when I lived with my neighbors. I worked at a cafe near my home. It wasn’t a big cafe so they didn’t give me a whole bunch of money but luckily, I still had enough. I continued working there until the day I turned fifteen. The day before I had to leave my dimension, I was scared for my life. Was I going to find my soulmate or remain without one forever? Thinking about all of this made me cry. I walked ntil I could find a place where people weren’t at. “I miss you guys...s-so much...” I cried. My stomach growled. “Ugh, I need to find something to eat.” I sighed. I walked slowly because I haven’t had any rest whatsoever. There was no place that I found that would give me food for free. “How can I find anyone who can give me food? This is such a big city.” I said with no hope. I walked for twenty minutes and still, no food to be found. When my parents were alive, they gave me all the food I wanted. It made me smile, remembering the happiest days I ever had. I forgot about the food and was then worrying about where I had to sleep. Did they expect us to survive by ourselves?

“I might die before I even find my soulmate,” I shuddered. “How can they expect me, a fifteen year old, to survive in a city like this? It’s horrible!” As I was in my thoughts someone poked my shoulder. I turned around instantly and hoped it wasn’t some stranger. But they didn’t look likema stranger at all...
