Cornflower

I'm not sure if I can just go now, after all she has done for me. She didn't only pick me up from the streets, but also let me rest in her home. I don't even know how I could repay her for that.

"Is there anything you want to say before I go? Or anything I could do?"

She nods slightly and smiles at me with this same smile that she has put on from the very beginning where I first had eye contact with her.

"Just don't forget to give him the thing… oh and before I forget it. I wanted to tell him personally, but if you are going to see him anyway, I'll just tell you. 'Zyane is in danger and he needs your help, so stop playing around.' Tell him those words please. It's really important, so don't forget that."

Zyane? What an odd name… Did I hear right? Maybe she meant to say "Zayn" instead of "Zyane"? Maybe I should ask who it is… or is that too personal?

"Who is… Zyane?"

She moves her finger to her lips as if she wanted to say "ssh" or "it's a secret", which just makes me even more confused.

"It's none of your business. If you want to know, then ask the white haired boy who he is. Shinda knows Zyane well, so he can probably tell you about him. If he won't tell you it's not my fault. I don't even think you are supposed to know this name."

Zyane… I've never heard this name before, but somehow it sounds familiar. As if somewhere deep in my mind- It's almost as if I know this name without even knowing it or the person who owns it. I don't like this weird feeling at all that I get when I hear this name. I should probably just forget about it, since it's not my business.

"I'm sorry for asking. I will ask him if his mood is good, but I don't really want to bother anyone with just my curiosity. If there isn't anything more to discuss I'll be heading out now. I'm sure Shin…da is already waiting. I haven't visited him in a few days now. Maybe he is already mad."

She nods and stands up from the couch, while giving me a bag with.. what exactly is that? It looks like cookies?

"No worries, dear. I was baking earlier, so I thought you might like some cookies for you and Shinda. Don't thank me, I just want you to enjoy them as much as you can."

I'm not sure if I should say thank you now or not, because she said I shouldn't thank her. I do it anyway.

"Thank you, really. I don't know what would have happened to me if you didn't take care of me back then. Thanks a lot for your kindness, ma'am."

She shakes her head. Maybe I shouldn't have said thank you?

"What are you waiting for? The door is just at the end of the corridor. If you don't hurry he might really get mad at you."

She smiles as if she knows him the best. Somehow I know that it's not true.

I smile a last time, nod and run out of the small house. At least that's what I would call it, but in reality it wasn't really a house, but I only realized that when I went outside. It was more like a secret basement that only looked like a house. From the outside it didn't even look like people would live here.

Let's hurry. I can make it in ten minutes when I run. Has he eaten well? Probably not, because no one will give him food when I'm not there. I'm so sorry Shin, please forgive me.
