1 Beginning-Hide and Seek ?

I had never thought that I would witness such a normal journey of a normal girl .

Hallo guys , myself Piri .

Piri the Pig toy . I used to be her toy but now I am with someone special .

So this was how it all started . As far as I remember that day they all were playing like any other ordinary day .

" There you are , I found you Niana " Sasha screamed , while balancing herself on a branch of the tree .

She was 13 years old at that time .

" Hey ...That's not fair , who told you that you can locate us by climbing up that tree " Niana screamed back annoyingly . She was also 13 years old and the best friend of my master .

"Ha ha ha , I have found all four of you , now it's your turn Vaani " Sasha smirked .

"Wait a min.....where is the Ocien guys ? " Niana asked .

" I th..th..th..think , I heard her saying that ss..sh..she is going to hide near that d..dd.dde.dde..devil's door " Tiphie said . Thinking of her back then , she was 12 years old , used to stammered a lot . It's not like that she had it since birth but a terrible incident was the reason .

" What ? that glitch ...Is she out of her mind ,why didn't you stop her Tiphie ? , or you could have atleast tell us " Niana said .

" Uhhh h.. let's go and get her guys before that shittt door swallows her " Vani said

" G..GG..Guyss What i..ii.if we are a..al.already late ?" Tiphie said.

" Could you keep it down , please , you have already messed up enough " Vani said angrily . An arrogant 12 years old girl , living happily with her parents .

" Aahhh.. I think we should call her aunt and other people with some weapons for help " Sasha suggested others .

Other girls agreed with her and Vani went to get some help .

Remaining three girls head up towards the northern outskirts of the Bluesea Town where the Devil's door was standing .

The town was surrounded by the huge thick walls preventing it from any outside relations . There were only two exits first the royal sea which is endless , and second the door of devil , in other words dying was the only way to escape from the town .

The existence of both the town and the door was from 350 years .

According to the citizens that door was a curse for them . No one was allowed to go through that door otherwise that person would never come back alive .

Now you may ask " Why weren't there any guards then ? " , Actually there used to be the guards near that door til one day when the head of the town Mr. Oak and some of his followers were found dead all of a sudden nearby that door , everybody thought that the door killed them with it's curse and from that day on no man or woman dared to guard it .

Every person was afraid to go near it except Mr. Oak's grandparents and Ocien .

My master Ocien wasn't crazy but was looking for a way to bring her parents back as they went on a mission on the new town head's order , but they never came back . It had been five years since she saw them . She was just 7 years old child when they left her with her aunt Ms. Lissie .

Coming back to the three girls .

After few minutes they finally reached to the restricted area of their town .

For the next thirty to forty minutes they looked for her in all the abandoned houses , but they couldn't find her.

"Where is Vani , we sent her to bring some help but now she is disappeared too , I think I m gonna kill her with my own hands " Niana exclaimed with full of rage .

Ocien and Niana were best friends since 7 years , and may be that's why she started walking towards that door - to bring her back alive .

The rustling of leaves went on and on , she might be just 10-12 steps away from the devil's door when she stepped on something , uhh.h..h... in other words she stepped on my cute little face .

She slowly removed her foot , grabbed me . And as soon as she saw me her vision got blurred , she burst out into tears , giving me a salty bath after that foot massage .

In crackling voice she mumbled out

" Ocien.... ,you stupid you glitch.. , who told you to hide like this .... please come back naaaahh...., I promise I will never call you glitch again " .

" Nniana..na What..isare happened..vrything yo..alrightight..tt ? Whyy arearere youyou cryingggg? "

other girls worriedly asked by messing up each other's sentences .

Niana was feeling so helpless that she had to take support on her knees with the hands and her steadily flowing tears made her eyes and nose pink and swollen , it was transparently visible that she wasn't left with any hope after that . At that time she could only ask for the miracle to happen .

"Niana.. We will find her don't worry she must have gone her home , " Sasha said as she tried to hide her tears and calm her down .

While clutching me so hard in her fist she said " I.I..want that too..too Sa..sha..buuuu. h..tt.."

she slowly opened her fist and there I was lying on her palm .

" Wh..What is th..this ? " Tiphie asked

" This..ss.s i.i.s. Ooc..ien's Pig toy Piri , that I..ve gifted her on..on our friendship..p..p anniversary last year " she said and started crying and sniffling again .

There was a dead silence for few seconds , after they realised the meaning . The bitter truth made them hopeless .

" We can't do anything else now , we should go back and tell aunt Lissie everything whatever happened " Sasha said in a lower voice as she finally let her tear fell off .

They went her house with Niana who was still crying in pain ,

" ttt. tt ttk ttk .." Shasha knocked on the door .

When the door was finally opened , the three of them were staring at the ground out of guilt and sadness .

Before her aunt could say or ask anything .

Niana couldn't hold herself anymore and she started weeping out loud and told everything that had happened ...how they lost Ocien and etc. while still staring at the ground .

By the time when she finished , they were all waiting for her aunt's reply but when they didn't get any .

They looked up and we're shocked to see who was there standing in front of them .

" Oh my God ..is this really true ? " Ocien said with a stunned look on her face .

Niana's sad and guilt tears turned into happy tears after seeing her best friend alive in front of her . She hugged her and other girls joined them too but Ocien was still in shock .

" I was going to hide there but aunt Lissie caught me and dragged me here and in that chaos I dropped Piri and in addition I didn't even get to play with you guys , but wait I never ..thought that you guys would declare me dead , only by finding my stuff lying out there " she said as tried to understand everything .

" So , what did you expected from us , to wait for the next day that you would appear in front of us even after knowing that how stupid your are and desperate " Niana said while wiping off her tears with her shall hanging on her right shoulder .

"Come on guys , just close this chapter here now and let's enjoy our success in Ocien Hunt " Sasha said cheerfully .

" What ab.b.about V.v.v.ani ? We sti..ti.till haven't heard fr..om her " Tiphie asked .

"oh Vani , she actually came here to take some kind of help but we ended up playing and she must have forgotten about you guys , as we all know she is so forgetful " Ocien explained and pointed towards the washroom .

Suddenly the washroom' s door opened and Vani came out "Oh hey guys , wanna play hide and seek " she said without realising what this simple game has done today .

After hearing her proposal they all started laughing .

I was also very happy after reuniting with my master .

I am a family pig man now , but still I love this chapter . I always tell this story with other chapters to my children before heading to the bed .
