What should I do ?!
...
Luz was on the floor. Her body felt numb ‘cause of the hardness of it. « Wait... why am I on the floor instead of against the wall ? » thought Luz. She finally opened her eyes and stood up, she got surprise, even shocked ! Somehow, she was in the same place but darker ??? Instead of number 9, it was 9 ¾ ???
« What’s happening here ? Where am I ? Did I died ?! » Even if the place was similar, Luz sweared she was somewhere else. They were tones of youngsters with suitcases and a GIGANTIC EARLY 20 CENTURY TRAIN ?!
« Oh wait ?! EDA ?! WHERE’S EDA ??! » internally screamed Luz. NOW she was panicking. She remembered the last event well, Eda had pushed her into this wall !Luz started looking behind her, touching it for some reasons.
« What ?! But... isn’t it where I came from ??! » She went near the path and shouted « EDA ! » but like always, they were no response. She then decided to do something her mother always forbade her: talking to strangers.
When Luz got in the way, people was hushing her. They didn’t even realized her presence !
« Hmm, hello ? Excuse me ? Is anyone gonna listen- » said Luz before blowing with nervousness.
She was frustrated, nobody would take intention to her. What was she gonna do ? Wait for Eda ?... That seemed useless... but she went with it anyway. That was the only thing she could do after all.
Luz was laying on the wall, she got slowly bored but really what could she do ? Get in the train without her mom and aunt knowing ? That was irresponsible...
As she was sitting for the past minutes near the 9 ¾ wall, her mind was wandering. She was observing people’s back and forth. She couldn’t stop imagining the reason they were here, who they were and of course, where they were going.
She could see a group of young girls laughing and chatting while eating some sort of candy. A younger boy was running around with no real goal, just having fun and she could also see some parents who were saying goodbyes to their sweet children. Looking at this made her think of her mom. « I hope mamá is doing okay at work... » she then caught herself sadly smiling.
As she was again observing around, her eyes suddenly stopped on a green hair girl. She was back facing her and was accompanied by two others persons way taller than her. She was fascinating somehow, her green reminded her of The Good Witch Azura. The girl really wasn’t doing anything astounding but with that hair and posture, she gave that vibe, you know ? Luz face got warm at her action. She was staring at the stranger with no particular reason and even asked herself how she looked like in front ? However, Luz tried to not stare at her like that, if she get caught, that girl will surely runaway.
Luz tried to control herself but her eyes kept coming back to this girl !
« Turn around, show me your face... » Luz blushed harder at her own foolish request « What’s wrong with me ?! I need to calm down ! ». She finished by looking the other way ‘cause she was embarrassed at herself.
« Everyone in the train ! 1 minute left ! » screamed an old beard man who seemed to be the train conductor.
« What should I do ?? Should I go in ??... Huh ! I don’t know ! » Luz was hoping that Eda would arrive and bring her home, like nothing happened for the past 5 minutes.
But the more she was hoping and the more she realized Eda would never come. « « OH but I can call her ! You Dummy ! » thought Luz before mimicking to hit herself. « Oh NO, OH NO, MY PHONE, I DON’T HAVE IT ! »
« 30 seconds left to go in the train ! » the conductor shouted, Everyone was running in and some doors were closing.
Luz was scared, she knew that was a bad idea, that Eda and her mom would freak out not knowing where she was, but that was her only way out ! The wall wasn’t a door and the track wasn’t continuing before 9 and after 10 ! She was imprisoned here ! She had to take that train ! Wherever it would take her, it would still be better than moping here !
Luz ran the faster she could and leapt into the last open door who closed immediately after her.
« I hope that it wasn’t such a bad idea... » lastly spoke out Luz
