Bab 2: Foreseen Death
Jessica Baker entered looking around the house, he bowed and politely greeted, "Good evening Miss Baker"
She removed her shade revealing her oval face with well carved brow. Her eyes are caramel with glistening of water inside them, making one mistaking her eyes to be made from crystal lake. She's a one most beautiful actress of all time.
Chewing the gum in her mouth, she turned her head at him, holding her black purse and nodded, "help me with the coat" she commanded.
"Yes Miss Baker, " he stood behind her, and removed the coat, which she elegantly slid her hands out of it.
Out of the coat, one can see how much beautiful the gown fitted her, exposing the gown's V-neck,and the spaghetti hand of the gown, at the back, was a long cut down to her waist, that revealed her soft fair back.
He put it on a stand, and let her know, "Miss Jason is waiting for you"
He walk ahead of her,while she took her time walking behind him like she owned the mansion.
Except the man ahead of her she didn't come across any maids or cooker of the house.
It's strange, yet she didn't have an ounce of fear,like she was already ready for this day.
"Where are the other workers?"Jessica asked,checking where they left behind.
"On vacation" his reply was short, she narrowed her eyes and nodded. "I see".
Jessie opened her purse and peeked in,to make sure her little weapon was with her, incase something went wrong.
-----
Few days ago...
-----
She was in a restaurant with the other crew members,celebrating the end of the movie they had been filming, which got many viewers and went viral, they encouraged her braveness in the movie as a warrior,and as the female lead too.
Raising her glass of beer to her mouth, she felt a sudden ringing in her ears, making her closed her eyes covering her ear with her free hand.
When the ringing sound in her ear stopped, she removed her hand from her ear,she opened her eyes and stare down at her beer for a second. Aware of her surroundings, Jessie realized the chattering of peoples and the music playing in the restaurant had stopped, it was silent as graveyard, she slowly raised her eyes from her beer, and saw every one frozen in one spot.
She turned to her left and touched the person besides her but the person didn't move or blink, Jessie slowly put down her beer and stood up peering around. She gape at her colleagues, one taking a chicken to his mouth, another was chewing, the other was cheering with a partner,while some were laughing but all frozen on spot,
Fear crawled Jessie's mind when she finally realized no one was breathing, and was the only living person moving. She stood and moved out of her seat slowly as if afraid to make a sound.
Jessica had never encountered something like this,and as a movie actress she's quite sure this happens only in movie, then how could-? Or is she perhaps hallucinating because she's overexerting herself, or maybe she had too much of beer that made her eyes seeing things.
She left to checkout if perhaps she was the only one unfroze, to her dismay she meets frozen people on her way.
She pushed the entrance door and went out, what she saw made her root in one place, cars,vehicles and everything moveable had stopped.
Is this the end of the world?!.
No,this can't be! "Help! Is someone out here like me!," she screamed her lungs out her eyes watering.
Suddenly,she heard the door of the restaurant opening,she jerked her head back, and someone came out,in white, while hunching back, and holding a walkingstick as a support , she couldn't see the person face as the person face was covered in a white shawl. She had to bend her head and tried to peep,but couldn't.
The person gives out an aura that she never felt before,she saw a bright light emitting from his body, making her concluded the person was not a human. She observed the mysterious person, who walked passed her without looking her way.
"Hey!" She called,and the mysterious person stopped,she took a slow steps towards him staring at his back.
"Who are you?How are you moving? Did you have an idea on what the hell was going on here?" one could noticed how desperate she is, asking those questions at once. All this seems like a dream to her.
"How rude asking me such" the mysterious person said, he's a man! She cognize.
"Eh?" confused, was she supposed to asked something else.
"hmm I could tell you're the chosen one"
She raised a brow, did he just say chosen, her? Who else then when she's the only moveable being.
"You seems strange, you're not human are you?,"
"Am not" he agreed with her. "I'm strange because you have never encountered a non visible creature. Catch this" he threw something at her from behind, which she quickly caught swiftly.
Jessica study the object, and commented, "a lipstick? Do you picked it up somewhere?" she didn't wait for his reply and went ahead to open the lid, and noticed there's no red liquid, just empty. Curious, Jessie moved it closer to her face observing the odd thing, when her finger mistakenly pressed under, a sharped object surface without warning and could have choke her eyes if she hadn't move it away quickly.
"Woah! What a dangerous little thing!" She exclaimed in surprised. As if realizing something, she look at the man whose back was what she could see, "Wait, are you here with the intention to kill me?!" Jessica accused the old man as she thought so.
The man laughed, "I'm amused, however that thing was a weapon for you, your death day is near"
Her eyes widened in shocked, "What?!" death day? When he didn't say anything,
She took a step back, wary of him, "who are you?" She asked.
"Your Guardian Angel" he replied, she frowned upon his word, and tilted her head. "My Guardian what? Hah!" She laughed, this is getting crazy,"how am I supposed to believe this, first my death and now a Guardian angel? Was this some sort of prank?,"
Sighed, the man shook his head, as if explaining to her will gives him headache. "I understand if you don't believe me, but your death day is coming soon, someone you worked with will be the death of you,just be sure the weapon is with you wherever you are, you can be killed at anytime ,you must not trust anyone,"
Confused and scared at the same time, she asked, "if you're my Guardian Angel, you should avoid that from happening and help me from dying"
"I can't change what was supposed to happen, I can only reincarnate you" he said in a hush voice.
Eyes widened, Jessie was stunned, "you can do that?! Wow, you're must be someone powerful. Since you can stopped the time perhaps you could tell me who's gonna kill me, right?"
He chuckles, "I can't manipulate the already written fate child, neither can I tell you who your killer was, it was never meant to change but to happened. Indeed am powerful that I didn't need to stop the time, instead my present did it" he chanted, proud of his ability and how powerful he was.
"That's cruel, can I see your face then," she inquired, walking towards him as slow as she could,trying to yanked the shawl he covered himself with,
Aware of her intentions, he teleported ahead of her, the way she could not reach out for him.
"I can feel your intention human," he let her know, his voice filled with irritation.
"H-how?" She stuttered, flabbergasted from the mysteries she's encountering, still, some are yet to come.
"It doesn't matter, an advice for you, make sure you killed your murderer before you died, if not, I can't reincarnate you. I shall meet you in your dying state then"
"Wait! What is-" before she could stopped him, he vanished, leaving a sparkling light before it disappeared too, void like he never existed.
She had too many questions to ask him, when is she going to die? What will her killer used when terminating her?. The weighty question is,why did she have to die? She did nothing wrong!.
With him gone,everything went back to normal,the clocked started ticking, people and cars started moving too, the sudden buzzing and honking of cars startled her from the hypnotized state she was.
Jessie opened her palm and looked at the weapon, she look for the presser and successfully succeeded, the pointed knife submerge in,she then put back the lid.
Who's her murderer? The only option was to keep her little weapon with her,and be vigilant.

Back to present
-----
"Miss Baker we are here" the head servant said to her, bringing her back from her trains of thoughts.
She look at the large door, and nodded, a smile forming on her face, the head servants, went away from there leaving her alone.
She squeezed her purse that had the mysterious weapon inside, she balled her hand and breathe out.
She got this!.
Going everywhere with the mysterious weapon have made her grown attached to it, all thanks to her Guardian angel.
She moved her hand to the handle and turned the knob.
Jessie was welcomed with the dazzling dining room, the chandelier sparkling, brightened up the room.
Jessica smiled widely on seeing Elizabeth Jason coming her way, she's a beautiful lady too with pale skin, skinny and curvy.
"Hi Jessie!" She greeted hugging Jessica,
"Hi Liza"
"I thought you're not gonna make it seeing how late you are,but I believe you always keeps your promise " Liza said, when they released from the hug.
"I'm sorry, it's my first time to your house, besides Samuel is new in the city and your house is not easy to locate,plus you lives away from the city" Jessica reasoned smiling at Liza who was innocently smiling at her too.
Seeing that,her heart ached. Oh dear, see that, Liza will never harmed her.
"Oh that was true of course, I'm sorry for troubling you," Liza apologized, but Jessie dismissed it by waving her hand,"no it's okay,"
Liza tried explaining herself by saying"I love living in remotes places, enjoying my peace,try visiting some other day and you'll believe me,"
Jessica agreed with her and nodded,"I will,".
She adores Liza because she was an easygoing person,but couldn't let her guard down,the Guardian angel had said no one is to be trusted, now he's making her suspecting the peoples she loves, but this is about her life,she couldn't let it go after what she experienced years ago.
Liza was an actress too, sometimes they acted together in some movies, while sometimes they don't.
They both earns so much and have built a place of their own, and had cars.
They only have two thing that differentiate them, Jessica always acted as a female lead,she was rich and famous than most actresses, many crew members who started before her envied her because they haven't made it like her.
While Elizabeth act always as a supporting female lead or a guest, that why her earnings are low,compared to Jessica.
Perhaps will this be the reasons Liza will try to end her? Jess thought. She quickly shake away the thoughts, look at her imagining when Liza only means good. She instantly feels guilt eating her up inside.
Stop this and enjoy. She told to herself.
"Let's start with our dinner" Liza said, and lead the way.
