Chapter 1: "Am I going to die over a cat?"
A tragic accidt befell the young Nessa on a snowy night. A drunk truck driver had fall asleep at the wheel, unable to recover control of the truck wh it slipped on icy roads and bulldozed into her part's car.
Her tire world had be shattered, her peaceful life as she knew it had be forever altered.
She crawled out of the flipped car to aid her parts, collecting scratches on her bruised skin from the brok glass. She approached her mom first to check on her condition, as she had managed to crawl out of the car and was the closest to her.
"Nessa, we are so sorry, grow up to be strong and... never rely on anyone... Mom and dad loves you." Her mother suppressed the urge to cough the blood in her throat out as she lay on the snowy road.
Her blood melted the snow a the child's hands and pooled a them, giving Nessa the last bit of warmth a mother could before passing away. Numerous shouts from the coordinating doctors and officers were overpowered by the wail of a single child that night.
Nothing more could be done for it was too late for anything to be done. Nessa's only family members had left before her very eyes.
The officers that took charge of the accidt tried their best to find any family member that could care for her. The fruitless search ded with them reluctantly handing her off to an orphanage.
Years passed in the orphanage, and Nessa never let anyone adopt her because she did not want any other part besides her own.
She wt to school and lived a peaceful life with the other orphans, and wh she turned eighte, the girl began working and moved into a small, nice apartmt where she lived comfortably and continued school.
Growing up, Nessa locked herself off from the world, she had no frids and wanted so she became the ultimate loner who spt her time on games to escape reality.
Nessa had no idea that fate had something else in store for her—a brand-new experice to replace the void in her life. It all started on Nessa's nineteth birthday wh the young woman was taking her exam to conclude another year of college.
'My life is boring as hell, if only I had made a few frids wh I was younger. I am sick of living this life, it's like I'm living like a lonely old lady on the verge of dying.' Nessa reflected as she walked home.
Wh she arrived at her apartmt, she sat down on the couch in the living room and sighed as she looked a the room. The absce of any other living creature reminding her of her loneliness.
"I am not an idiot! That is my kitty! His feet are injured, I just turned away for a minute..." he started bawling due to the tse atmosphere, causing Nessa to sigh.
"I understand you want to save it, but you are being reckless... You need to think carefully before doing certain things." she replied, sighing once more as she looked at his pitiful face.
"Are you willing to die for your cat?" She asked, and his eyes trembled as he stared at her. Nessa th released the kid now that she was certain he wouldn't run off into the traffic.
"No, I love him! I don't want to die... but I do want to save him! Please help me, miss." he earnestly requested; a rare smile th appeared on Nessa's face as she patted him on the head.
"Where are your parts?" she questioned.
"They are busy..." he replied, avoiding her gaze.
"Too busy to look after their child? They are some parts... I will get your precious cat, so stay put." She declared, waiting for the stop light to come on. She carefully crossed the road once it did and gtly tossed the cat over to the little boy who caught it.
"Thank you!" he waved with one arm th walked away. Nessa gave a light smile of acknowledgmt as she walked toward the sidewalk.
But at the momt her foot left the g, the lights wt back on. She was about to run wh she saw a car speeding towards her and froze due to the sudd shock and trauma.
"Oh no, am I going to die over a cat?" Nessa uninttionally blurted, her eyes widing as she remembered her parts' death. A bright light abruptly flashed before her, knocking her unconscious and dragging the girl away so fast that ev the driver didn't see her.
"Mom, the young lady who saved my cat was here." the child said as he returned with his mother, but Nessa was nowhere to be found.
"She's gone..." he solemnly stated, unable to thank her properly.
"You'll have another chance to thank her. Come on." His mother consoled him as she walked away. He frowned as he looked back at the girl's keyring on the floor.
