"Lucky" 4
Chinese believe 4 is unfortunate because 4 sound the same as die in Chinese. This is a story about the bad fortune bring by No. 4One hot public holiday day, there are only a few people walking on the street. Many stay at home to prevent them self from boiling. A girl walk on the street with a umbrella in her hand. She has long black hair and her face is cute. Suddenly, she stopped. Looking around as if trying to find something or someone.
"Miss Ariela, please go back. Master want to see you." A tall man dressed like a butler appeared behind Ariela and bowed.
"What does father want with me?" She ask the butler.
"Please follow me." He repeated.
Ariela sighed and nodded slightly.
The butler lead Ariela to a car and open the door. Ariela went in. After a few minutes. They arrived before a mansion. The mansion is very huge. There is about 30 rooms and a big garden. The mansion is surrounded by trees.
Ariela went out of the car without waiting for the butler.
She went into the mansion and go upstair. Ariela stopped infront of a huge door and the butler knocks on the door. "Master, miss Ariela is here."
Without waiting for a reply, the butler opens the door and Ariela walk in.
A man in black western coat sat on a chair behind a desk. The room is dark and the man's face can't be seen clearly.
"Father." Ariela said.
"Ariela." The man reply.
After a long while, no one spoke and the atmosphere is very cold.
"Ariela, I called you here to discuss something with you." The man spoke first.
Looking at Ariela trying to catch what she is thinking but failed.
"I want you to help me find something in the Furnale." He continued
The Furnale is a place beside the cemetery. It is a very famous place in this city because rumor said it used to live a woman but her child died when she was 3 years old and the woman went mad. She killed her husband and drink his blood. After that, she tore down her own throat. There is also a rumor that there is a crystal kept in that house. The crystal is worth hundred and even thousand millions. But people that went in to find it has never been seen.
"Crystal." Ariela said.
"That crystal name is Herdeous. It is said that it was left behind by god when he create us. Herdeous have a huge energy that will made the owner of it gain anything he or she wants. But Herdeous mysterious disappeared in the early 60's. " The man explained.
"And you think the crystal in Furnale is Herdeous." Said Ariela
"Yes, you are right. This is the map of Furnale. Try to get me the crystal, my dear daughter. In a month." The man passed a piece of paper toward Ariela.
"Will try." Ariela said and walk out of the room without even looking back.
After she left the mansion, the man grinned and said "Hope you have a safe trip, my dear...Hahahahaha!!!!"
