2 Strange Girl

The car came to a halt at the front of a magnificent mansion. Elena fell asleep on their way here, holding onto her bag pack tightly. Darren step out of the car and was about to leave when he remembered there was still one person inside the car. Since the girl got into the car, she didn't make a sound. He opened the rear seat and saw that the girl had fallen asleep, a light frown appeared on his forehead.

Dan stood some feet's away from Darren and watch in shock as his boss bring out the strange girl and carried her in his arms. His jaw drop at what was playing at his front. 'Maybe the girl charmed his boss but how could that be?'

"Dan," Darren called his gawking assistant and strode towards the door. Dan quickly follow his boss into the mansion.

The old butler was surprise to see his master carrying a young sleeping girl.

"Welcome young master Darren," he greeted. The servants were also shocked, they peek at their master who didn't care about the people inside the living room as he ascend the staircase.

The butler then turned to face Dan who was quiet like a drenched rat. Dan slump on the couch tiredly as he thought of how to start doing his duty as a bodyguard. Never had he seen his boss like this before, even changing his duty because of the dumb girl they met few hours ago.

"Dan, Darren request your presence," another young man who was standing on the staircase said before he went back. Grumpily, Dan stood up and head for the staircase.

Darren took the sleeping girl to her room that was prepared by the butler and servants before they arrived. He laid her on the bed carefully and tried to take the bag pack from her but she didn't let go of it. He stood up and straighten his back, he look at the clothes she was putting on, a faded sweater and a baggy jeans. She look no less than a teenager

Knock knock

"Come in,"

Dan rush into the room and masked his grumpiness with a smile. "What can I do?" He ask his boss.

"Tomorrow, call doctor Lynch to check up on the girl." Darren said and walk towards the door.

"Will she leave after that?"

Darren halt and look over his shoulder "she's not leaving for now and be a good and sweet bodyguard. You saw it yourself, she's very scared, I don't want someone running around the mansion searching for a girl. Is that clear?"

Dan face paled but he still nodded "yes...boss,"

"Good. Now look for a servant to clean her up," Darren said and step out of the room.

The young man who called Dan minutes ago was leaning on the wall outside the room.

"Kyle, you're my assistant from now on till further notice," Darren said to him.

"Yes boss," he replied excitedly and look over to Dan who was angry at his position being switched.

***

A servant was sent to Elena's room to clean her up. She was now wearing a nightdress the servant brought for her. Sleeping soundly without caring about where she was, she look little and adorable on the dress. Her black hair was neatly packed into a loose bun and the duvet, draped over her body.

Elena had lived on the streets for a very long time. She had no family or friends, no one knew her or her family. She didn't know how she started living on the streets, but all she could do was to survive. Living in a poor neighborhood, she sleeps outside an old house. For the past years, there was no one to talk to, sometimes, beaten by some rough people whom she stole from. She lives a life of fear, always looking at her feet when walking at daytime. As the years roll by, she lost her voice and became dumb due to the harsh environment.

Today when she met the wealthy man who sat on the copilot seat, she imagined herself living with him. She wasn't scared of him the manner she feared others. She made up her mind at that instant to follow him.

When the men took her back to the old house, she quietly watch them leave. She couldn't say anything, just watch and listen. When they were far from the house, she took her only kitten bag pack and followed them without making a sound. Luckily, they were about to leave when she showed up again. She was the most happiest person on earth when he agreed to her request. She was at first nervous, who would want to take in a strange girl who lives on the streets and even stole from you.

Darren entered the room when the servant was done. Coming to stand at her front, he saw that the servant had also changed her clothes. He was surprised at first when the girl wanted to go with him. Then he noticed she doesn't speak and only gestures with her hand and fingers. From the way she look and her clothes, she must have lived outside for a very long time.

He didn't know why but he wanted to help this strange girl.

He sighed heavily and bent forward to put the duvet on her body. After draping the duvet on her, he kept staring at her, her long unkempt hair, her beautiful small face.

"Damnit!" he cursed quietly at what he was doing.

When he was about to pull back, she suddenly caught his arm and lay on her side. Darren's breath stilled for a half a minute before he regained himself.

He carefully sat on the bed and grab a pillow. He placed the pillow at the back of his arm. When he removed his hand, her head gently landed on the soft pillow.

A vibrating sound came from his pant pocket. Quietly, he walk out of the room.
