‘…’ thoughts
“…” speaking
A young woman stood all alone by a rather small lake. The full moon was beautifully reflected on the lake and it would be a beautiful night. If it wasn’t for the sadness on the woman’s face that made it feel wrong.
‘Pan Son… just a name, but also a connection to my past. To my family that I have never known and to my strange powers. That sometimes my hair turnes yellow when I get mad, and when I get really mad it also gets longer. I wish that someone could just tell me what that means and isn’t scared of my power. Someone who would hold my hand and comfort me. Could it be that I landed in a orphanage because my family was scared of me? As long as I can remember I lived in the orphanage and now I’m out. Now I live all on my own with no family and a past that would make everybody cry, with only hope for a better future…’ Pan thought while she stared at the reflection of the full moon in the lake.
She then pulled her clothes of and slowly stepped into the lake. She slowly waded towards the reflection of the moon. When she finally reached the reflection she closed her eyes. The water came up to her waist. She felt as if she was one with nature. Like all her problems floated away as her hand softly stroke the water. The wind was playing with her long black hair. She opened her eyes again.
She made her eyes explore the sight. The trees that would make this sight look scary for it created darkness, but yet by the light of the moon, it was calming. The long grass on the edge of the lake slowly rocking on the wind.
But then she saw something that surprised her, there was someone else here. A dark figure sat in the grass across the lake. You could see that it was a man and a quite muscular one. He was, just like Pan, thinking and exploring the sight. Their eyes met just for a second. It was like they were connected for one second, sharing one mind, sharing one sight, it felt like magic, like fairytale magic. That one second seem to last for eternity, it was like the time stood still. Suddenly Pan snapped out of her trance by the sudden cry of a bird. She quickly waded towards the edge and pulled on her clothes. Still a little embarresed that this strange man has seen her naked.
‘Who is he…? And I swear I’ve seen those eyes before but where? Those beautiful cerulean eyes… God! I hate it when I can’t remember something.’ Pan thought. The nightly call of an owl woke Pan up from her thoughts. She looked at her watch. ‘Shit! I have to go home I have work in the morning.’
And with a sigh she left her trusted spot in the grass and ran home, still wondering who that strange man was on the other side of the lake. For there was never someone else at the lake when she sat there.
Her eyes bursted open. It was around 4 o’clock. The only light in the room was the light of the moon shining through the window. She stared at the light of the moon shining through the window. She had that dream again.
In that dream she was about two years old. It was in the middle of the night and very dark in the house, the house was quite large. Everything seems familiar but because of the darkness she couldn’t see clearly. She looked around for her parents. Then, suddenly she heard screams. It was a man and a woman screaming that she should run. She turned around just to see a monster knocking her out. That was always the point when she woke up.
‘Stupid dream.’ She thought while she lay in bed staring at the ceiling. ‘I never see the monster nor my parent clearly. I can’t even remember their faces. Only their voices screaming that I should run. I wish that someone would come and tell me where my parents are and if they even are alive. It’s like I’m going crazy for not knowing. Like I can’t move on to the future untill I know my past and know everything about me. But it’s not like I can go running through the streets screaming that I’m a freak with weird powers, they would just put me in an asylum. Maybe I belong there… And maybe I should go to sleep again because I need to go to my stupid job tomorrow in my stupid office and meet my stupid boss again and I don’t even know why I use the word stupid so much.’
At seven o’clock the alarmclock went off. Pan tried to hit it off but accidently crashed it into smithereens. ‘Shit! That’s another alarm clock. I hate mondays.’ She thought as she stood up to take a shower. After an enormous breakfast she took the bus to work. ‘I wish I could just fly, I mean I know I can but, I would be exposed and I don’t think that is a good idea.’
When she arrived at work she was inmediatly greated by the always way to happy receptionist named Anna.
“Goodmorning Pan” Anna said with a inhuman smile on her face.
“Goodmorning Anna, can’t stay for a talk, I have a lot of work to do!” Pan said in an excuse to avoid her, like she always did. ‘I wish she would just not be that cheery all day, how can someone be happy every freaking day! It’s just not possible!’ She thought as she walked into the elevator.
“If it isn’t my favorite little secretary!” A voice came from next to her.
Pan awoke from her thoughts and looked who was standing next to her. ‘Just great, it’s mister look-I’m-mucho-and-all-the-ladies-like-me boss’
“Hello Trunks” she said in a irritated voice.
“I need you to take care of this Pan, thank you” He said while he gave her some files which were supposed to be his job.
‘Yeah, why not give me more work so you could sleep all day in your office! It’s just that I can’t deny it because you could fire me and I need the money, but else I would throw the paperwork in your face!’ Pan thought, daydreaming on how she would get revenge on Trunks on day.
“Sure, I’ll have it finished by the end of the day” Pan said while trying not to scream.
“Thank you Pan, could you stop by my office when you’ve finished the work?” Trunks asked.
‘Do I have a choice’ Pan thought.
“Sure, why not.” Pan said.
‘It’s not like I work around the clock for this stupid compagny. I do your job and my own, you lazy pig!. Pan thought. She wished that she could just yell at him and get angry, but she knew she couldn’t.
With a lot of curses under her breath she walked towards her office. When she reached it she began working off the never ending pile of paper work.
It was five o’clock in the afternoon and Pan had finally finished all the work she had to do.
‘Yes! I’m done for today! Ow no wait… shit I still have to go to Trunks to deliver the work that he is suppose to do.’ Pan thought and with a lot of grumbling she walked towards his office.
“Here’s the work that you wanted me to.” Pan said while she entered the room.
“You know, you do have a habbit to forget to knock every time you enter my office.” Trunks said with a smirk.
‘Duh, it’s more my office then yours, seeing the fact that I work for it. But I’ll just smile and act stupid to see what he wants from me this time.’ Pan thought.
“But that was not the thing I called you for, I needed to give you this.” Trunks said as he handed Pan a letter.
Pan quickly opened the letter and read what it said. “I’m being promoted to your personal secretary!” Pan said confused.
“Apparently…” Trunks said.
‘Yeah why don’t you just put a iron chain around my neck, as I’m now mister egocentric-himself boss his personal slave!’ Pan thought irritated.
“Uhm.. yeah… thanks.” Pan said trying to hide her anger. She couldn’t refuse the job because she needed the money.
“Great that you’re so enthusiastic!” Trunks said happily.
“Yeah.. great…” Pan responded with a hidden sarcasm.
