Meeting

Unexpected meetings can lead to strong bonds and friendships.

A new day, a new school, a new town, a new life... It’s what I needed, what we both needed.

My name is Brooklyn Okon, i’m 15 and I have just recently moved from the town of Washington, no I don’t mean Washington in America, I mean Washington in England, it’s a small town, not that well known but humble in its ways. I guess you’re thinking ‘Why move from such a humble town?’ well my reasons are not complicated but yet they are saddening for those who have suffered the same or know of the pain.

Anyway, I’ve moved to a new town, not many know me but i’m fine with that, as long as she is safe i’m fine taking in any sort of pain or rejection.

I didn’t move that far away from my home town, just about 3 hours away, Cumbria to be precise. That’s where I met her.

It was after... what happened to me, I was taking a walk to try to calm down, I didn’t know how far away from home I was until I read the signs but I kept walking. She came running towards me, like someone or something was chasing her, looking down, she was naked and looked like she was freezing from the look of her pale skin. She ran into me and she almost fell, I caught her and realized that she was, as I expected, freezing. I wrapped my long jacket around her and asked her for her name. She told me ‘K0HA30’, I was confused but I didn’t want to ask her about it, the last thing I wanted to do was upset someone I had just met. She had wrapped her arms around me as if she trusted me, ME of all people. She looked up to me and I saw a look of terror and rage in her crystal blue eyes, I looked back into hers’, my eyes then were a bright yellow. I stood up and brought her up with me, her eyes still staring into mine, I asked her if she lived round here, she replied ‘I don’t know, I think so’ then I asked her if she could explain to me what happened to her, she told me that it was complicated, that she hardly knows herself, she explained that all she was sure of was that she wasn’t human... but a creation. I was taken back for a few seconds and I let go of her, I offered her to come back to my house, she nodded and pulled my jacket around her for warmth.

That’s where it all began, I told her my past and she explained what she knew and what she saw that day. That day... it was important for both of us, not just for our meeting but for the events that occurred.
