Chapter Two.

Kylie's Pov.

i start walking frantically on the streets of I don't know what. Cars zooming by, people walking aimlessly or for a reason, well I don't care. All I care about now is finding my family. I rushed out of the cabin immediately I found that note in my back pocket, leaving a note for the man that saved my life.

Sorry I couldn't wait till you come back, gotta find my family.

Thanks for saving my life.

I'm sure he would understand why I left without telling him. I really need to find my family and know what happened to me. I would never forget the fact that I woke up from a grave with an oxygen in my mouth, that is like the most impossible thing in the world. I can't even remember anything that happened, what my name is, what I look like. My feet come to a sudden halt as realisation hit me.

I don't know what I look like, it shocks me more than I expected but how is that even possible. I reach out to my hair and pull it to my view, it's black. I start looking at my entire body, I turn my head forcefully to look at my behind but I could only see a little. I catch a guy staring at me like am crazy, I smile in embarrassement and continue walking but I stop again.

Where am I going? I don't even know where am heading to. I don't even know where I am. I run my hand through my hair and my fingers tangle in it, I groan in frustration. I see two girls coming my way and I take the chance to ask them the big question.

"Um..hi" I wave at them and they stopped giving me the confused look. "Sorry for stopping you but I don't know where I am right now" they keep the confused look on their faces. I breathe and ask in a more simple way.

"What city is this? Country?" Their eyes widen and they share a look I know too well. That look that says 'where the hell does she come from, is she human', of course they would give me that look. "Am just lost" I add.

"You're in North Carolina" she answers after staring at me for what seemed like hours, "USA" she adds and start walking away.

"Thank you" I say to their backs.

I take the note from my pocket again and read through it. I have no idea how this got to my pocket but am guessing this is my address, it's where I live and am sure my family will be there. I can't help but imagine what they'll be thinking right now, that am dead. I kick the thought out of my head and continue walking. I come to a stop in front of a huge mall and notice that the doors are mirror glass.

I get closer and stare at my reflection in it. I can't help but be wowed at myself. My skin looks pale. I rub the smooth skin of my face as I admire how cute I am. I smile at my reflection not caring if someone is staring at me from the inside. I turn around a little to look at my behind and it looks good,I have long legs too. My thoughts are being cut short by a voice close to me.

"Do you need anything madam?" I spun around and my eyes meet a security in uniform, my eyes widen in shock and embarrassment.

"N-no I was just going" I turn and start walking away then I remember that I need a change of clothes. I turn back around and face him.

"Actually, I do need something" I walk past him and into the mall. It's so big and beautiful. I go straight to the clothing section and my eyes almost pop out from it's socket due to the beautiful clothing hanging everywhere.

I find a simple clothing consisting of a pair of jeans, a sweat top and a pair of boots. It seems cold here and I can tell it will be worse in New York. I take it to the counter and the lady greets me with a warm smile. She takes the clothes from me and fold into a bag.

"How do you wish to pay?" She asks and I dip my hand into my pocket bringing out the credit card and handing it to her. She puts it in the small machine and hands it to me. "Your pin" I blink and quickly get the paper from my pocket, pressing the four digits in. I really hope that is really the pin because embarrassment is the last thing I want. I bite down on my lip as I watch her do her thing, hoping it doesn't flip.

"Thanks for shopping with us" she smiles once again and hand me the bag. I let out a breath of relief.

"Where is the changing room, I really need to wear these right now" I ask

"Straight down, by your right"

"Thanks" I walk straight to the dressing room and change into the clothes I just bought, leaving the old ones in the trash. Don't ask me why but that clothe has been on me since I was in that grave for God knows how long. A shiver runs through my body as I think of it.

I walk out of the mall and immediately I see a cab slowing down so I call out to it.

"Airport please" I say as soon as I get in. Manhattan, here I come.

Few hours later, am coming out of the airport in Manhattan, at least that's what I heard the air hostess say once we landed. I practically slept throughout. Once am out, the cold air hits me, it's dark, I don't even know what the time is. I reach to my pocket to get the phone but I feel nothing. Shit. At least a phone with me would have been good even though I don't have the password to it. I pass a security and I stop.

"Please what time is it" I ask and he checks his watch

"Eight thirty" my eyes widen

"Oh my, eight thirty" I rub my temple. "Thanks" I say and walk away from him. I have to find this address because I so don't wanna sleep on the streets. I take the note from my pocket and stare at it, I see the number again and I slap my hand across my fore head. How am I supposed to call this number now.  I keep walking as the wind keeps blowing my hair away from my face. Even with my sweat top, I can still feel the cold wind.

I see a woman standing on the pavement at the side of the road doing nothing, I speed walk to her and take my chance.

"Please ma'am can I borrow your phone, I really need to make a call" I say as polite as I can but she just stare at me not saying a word. "Please it's really urgent, I lost my phone" I explain hoping she'll pity me. I sigh in relief when she reaches to her bag and pull out a phone.

"Thank you so much" I grab it from her but before I could type 3 digits in the phone, something takes my attention and it all happens in slow motion in my head.

"Don't go that way" a woman's voice screams and I feel a body push past behind me making me stumble and the paper in my hand flies away from me. My eyes widen in shock and fear as I see the paper in the air going to another direction.

"No no no no no no" I run after the paper like it's my life flying away, the wind keeps blowing it further away from me.

"Hey come back here, my phone" the woman shouts but I ignore her and run after my paper but I nearly run into a moving vehicle but I immediately back away as the car comes to a sudden halt.

"Watch where you're going bitch!" The young guy from inside the vehicle yells through his open window and I stare in shock. He just called me bitch. I stand there as I watch him give me deadly glares before zooming off.

He just called me bitch.

"Give me my phone you scam" the woman drags the phone from my hand and walks away, am left standing by the side walk. What just happened.

Seconds pass, minutes pass and am still standing in the same spot replaying what just happened in my head. My brain immediately boots and I cross the road and start searching for the paper but my search was to no avail. I see a bench at the side walk and I go and sit on it. Now I lost the address and the number. What do I do? How do I get home. Much worse, where do I go now? The last thing I want is walking on the streets all night, I don't know anyone or anywhere here.

I get up frustrated and I start walking, I don't know where am going but I just need to walk. I use the opportunity to take in all the sights in front of me. The street lights are all on, giving it a bright glow, shops still open, cars and people moving like it's still day time. I pass the front of a bakery and I see all kinds of bread, cakes and cookies, I remember I've not eaten anything since morning. I ignore the growling in my stomach and keep walking. Hunger is the least of my worries right now.

"You need a maid?" I stop abruptly and stare at the woman in jump suit coming out of the bakery, she stops by the side as she answers her call. I don't know why but I stopped and i started ease dropping.

"Oh" she was silent for a while. I have no idea what am doing but if someone needs a maid then I think I can do it, I mean I can literally do anything just to get a roof over my head. Now that I think of it, I should have just stayed in the cabin.

"I can get you one of course, any random girl will do right?" My eyes lit up, this could be my one chance.

"I'll get back to you next week" she says and ends the call. She starts walking towards a black car packed by the road. My legs moves before I could think and am standing in front of a blonde woman, she seems young though, I can't make out the color of her eyes but I can tell they're..

"And you are" I come back to reality as she waits for me to introduce myself.

"Um I heard you say something about maid on the phone" I stutter

"You were ease dropping" her voice increases a pitch and I immediately feel guilty

"No..yes, I was just walking by and I heard you say maid so I decided to listen" my eyes focus on my hands that am now fiddling with.

"So you decided to listen to someone else's conversation" she sounds irritated

"Am really sorry, am just really looking for a job" my voice is almost quiet and pleading. She tilts her head and studies my face before looking at me up and down making me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hmmm" she murmurs

"Please just help me out, I really need a job" I close my palms together in front of me

"Okay fine" I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding "I have somewhere to be right now so I'll just give you the address, then I call her and tell her about your coming" she opens her car and write something on the back of a card and hands it to me.

"Thank you so much" I want to hug her but I know I can't. I can't believe it, just like that. Finally am not going to sleep on the street.

"Thanks" I say again as she zooms off. Without thinking too much, I take a cab and get to the address. I stand in front of the six story building and admire a little before climbing the stairs by the side to the second floor.

I ring the door bell and wait for a response. The door opens and my eyes fall to little girl in front of me. I almost say 'awwwn' but I hold it back. Her long brown hair is tied into a pony tail, her blue eyes stare at me a little before she walks away. I walk into the house and close the door behind me, the first thing I see the dinning and kitchen area by my far left then the living room by by right, the walls are painted brown and cream, very dull to me. I walk towards the living room where the mother I guess sitting, her back to me, watching a TV show I Know too well, 'Kardashians'. My eyes go to the clock above where time says ten forty.

"Good evening" I say making her to turn and look at me

"You must be the girl Kate was talking about" I don't know her name but am sure she's the one so I nod "yes"

"Okay, so your job will be to take care of my daughter, Elisabeth and everything about her" I stay quiet and process what she's saying

"Like a Nanny?"

"Like a Nanny" she nods. She doesn't smile at all and it's giving me goose bumps.

"I can do it"

"Good, you will stay here at day time and return at night, is that okay"

"Can I just stay here forever" my big mouth opens and say and her eyes widen, "what I mean is I don't have anywhere to go, I came all the way from Carolina and I lost..."

"It's fine you can stay, Elizabeth will show you the guest room" she cuts my explanation short. Relieve washes over me.

"Thank you so much" I say

"Oh my manners, what's your name?" The question rings a million times in my head. What am I going to tell her now, she won't even listen to any explanation I have to say, she might even take the job away from me if she knows I don't remember what my name is.

"Hello" she snaps her fingers in front of me, waiting for my answer

"Kylie get in here" I hear the voice from the TV and I turn to look at it then back at the woman.

"Kylie, my name is Kylie" I choke out.
