Chapter 6: WHO IS HE
Author's Pov
Seb followed after Domain's footsteps and in no time a small village came into view, the houses were grass-tached and it was lucky for them that it barely rained.
Domain had not seen any signs of rain ever since her first stay in the area. She pointed towards a certain house that would fall anytime and Seb looked at her disappointed.
He hoped it would be something to guarantee a peaceful night's sleep which is all he'd wanted.
"Is that the place you expect me to bribe my way in?" He asked disappointed. According to him, sleeping outside was ten times better than being in such a place.
"If you find it absurd then find somewhere else to stay." Domain answered coldly raising the small rag that acted as a passage for them. Sebastian smirked disappointedly but it's not like he had a choice.
Slowly he followed inside and the figure of an old woman came into view. The woman looked tired and deprived of so many necessary basic needs.
"Who is he?" She asked hitting slightly at Domain.
"He can speak for himself." Domain said moving away and Seb's brows furrowed. How could such an old woman be her mother?
"Hey nobody, meet my grandma." Domain said looking at her grandma and vice versa to Sebastian who opened his eyes widely. He forgot to say his name and maybe that's why the girl referred to him as a nobody.
"I thought you said you lived with your mother young lady," Seb whispered slightly freaked, for some reason, the woman looked scary to him. Her skin was rough and completely wrinkled something he'd never witnessed before.
His grandmother was old but well kept, she resembled him even at an old age. Seb held Domain's hand nervously as scenes from a certain horror movie began to display in his mind. The zombie in the movie resembled the old woman right before him.
"She'll leave when my mom comes." Domain who figured out Seb's condition whispered and he relaxed a bit.
Sebastian's heart shattered at the sight of the place the girl called home. Did people suffer that much? He had a comparison of the place with his room and he had to agree that he'd been born a lucky guy.
His bathroom alone was bigger than the place someone called home. His shoe rack alone occupied a space bigger than the entire place Domain called home.
Sebastian Yates gave thought to his fancy bed, the luxurious life he initially had, and everything he left behind. His luxurious tuxedo suits, the several fancy golden, silver, and several other watches he had.
Seb was sure the price of his shoe back in his country was enough to purchase land and build a house that would be better than the one he stepped foot on.
In an hour, a woman in her forties entered the house with a basket in her hands. Her eyes landed on Sebastian who was first asleep.
"Who is this?" She asked placing her stuff on the Stony ground.
"A nobody." Domain said taking the basket from her colleague. It was so pointless to still keep the pretense before a sleeping body. She was sure the guy was extremely tired and that he'd be snoring any time soon.
"I've noticed something strange about the guys sent here with us my lady." The lady assigned to offer protection to Seb as a mother whispered peeping outside.
"I know that." Domain said preparing some stuff for dinner. Everything about her own family sending her off to such an area was fishy, to begin with so it was only natural that she'd have her secret investigation aside from her mission to protect Sebastian.
"Just be careful Mom." Domain said maintaining the pretense as she'd noticed Seb's body move slightly.
"I will." She answered as a matter of fact. She equally found everything suspicious. Why would they be sent to such a place with zero supply?
The last time they'd received a supply from Domain's father was long ago before Seb's arrival. Seeing his current reaction rose something within her that she suspected.
It was time to be alert and reason with the mind more than the heart. With the heart, she'll risk her life for the state whenever it is needed but with the brain, she'll do everything possible in her power to save her precious self.

Chapter 7: HARDSHIP
SEBASTIAN
I woke up not feeling my neck but the night was better than the previous nights I spent after being abandoned by my dad. I checked for Domain and her mother but none of them were around.
Waiting for my father to rescue me would be the most foolish thing I could do. At that point, I had to agree with the bitter truth that I had been reduced to a total nobody.
My feet stepped outside and I looked at the hot blazing and eye blinding sun. I could count the number of houses present in the area and four examples of houses. I could only refer them to houses due to a lack of other appropriate terms.
I walked some steps familiarizing myself with the area but all I could see were old women. The houses housed very old women with no youth available. I had to pay a visit to one of the oldest women my eyes could detect. Maybe from her, I'd get information on how to free myself and at least find an urban area to settle.
F*k she called me grandson and it sacked for some reason. I lost all reason to ask every single thing I wanted to know but it's not like I had a choice.
"Who are you?" She asked the question I never wanted to be asked because I was not Sebastian anymore.
"I am a wonderer," I said and she smirked looking away from me. I can't believe life has reduced me to this, first I identified myself as a nobody and now as a wanderer.
"Talking about wonderers? None of us belongs here, every single one of us has a dark reason behind being here. My team and I were on an academic trip set by our parents." She paused looking at me.
"Sh*t happened and we were forced to stay waiting for rescue teams. Our parents are probably dead by now, so zero hope for our rescue. I was only four years back then." She said and I noticed something strange. Was the woman even able to see my face?
I could feel something else all through her narration, was she even telling the truth? Most people said that any liar would be nervous and she was. Her eyes had not landed on mine all the while and that is why I had to confirm if she had her sight intact.
I sighed looking around and walking away but to my realization, I could see a place covered by water, more like an Oasis but something else was different. I could see several human footsteps all around the small stream and in the middle of it was a stone.
The stone assumed a human body form and was most likely a woman. Her hands were tightly held together as if praying for something. I looked at the place for quite some time trying to figure out something but nothing actually made sense and I could only wait to ask my foster family about everything and how they found themselves in such a place.
I walked back to the small place Domain referred to as a village and I could feel my stomach growl at the smell of something yummy. I could not help but follow the smell till I landed at a certain house.
Slowly I walked in and my eyes landed on Domain's grandma. All hunger faded instantly and with quicker strides, I walked outside finding myself something to keep me busy.
If only I had a way to contact Quan and Peter then leaving this goddamn place would be a guarantee. My eyes landed on my miserable self and I chuckled foolishly.
Given the life I lived before, it was only natural that I didn't have anyone's mobile number saved in my thick skull, not even my mom's number was saved in my pathetic mind. I really must have been a terrible copy of a son. Maybe it was time I changed my behavior entirely. Would that even be possible?
My father had truly outsmarted me but that didn't mean everything would end as they are. He started a battle he ought to finish and I will make sure of that.
