Chapter Ten

Third Person point of view.
Lara arrived at Isabelle’s house today, courtesy of her mother bringing her here. Lara told her mother she has an important assignments with Isabell.
"Where did you say her house is?" Mrs. La Lallana asked.
"Sector 17." Lara said.
“Okay, we are here. I will come to pick you later, I will be back by 5, is that alright.,” Mrs. la Lallana said.
Lara got out of the car. “yes mommy, Bye, mommy.”
Once her mom drove away, Lara knocked on the door three times before Isabelle’s mom answered.
"Coming." Isabell's mother said.
Isabell's house wasn't large neither was it small. It was a two bedroom bungalow, a small garden in front of the house that had a two person swing, a small chair by the left of the garden, a carpet grass that was laid on the floor and some organic flowers mostly some sun flowers that looked beautiful with the green grass. Lara stood in front of their house waiting for the person that answered her to come come open the door.
“Yes, how may I help you?” she said.
“I am Lara, Isabelle’s friend.”
"I have heard a lot about you Lara."
Isabell's mother said.
Lara’s arrival surprised Isabelle’s mother. She heard many things about her visitor, but she never expected that Isabell would have the courage to befriend her.
“Okay, come in,” Isabelle’s mom said.
Lara placed her foot forward to come in, but she couldn’t, which angered her. She didn’t understand why, It was like something was pushing her back anytime she tried to step into the house, she never had any weakness but she needed to find a loophole. “Tell Isabelle that I’ll be coming for her later.”
"Why darling? Come on in". Isabell's mother said.
"No, I'm not comfortable, I will be back later".
"Come on stay till your parents come to pick you up." Isabell's mother said.
"No! Just tell Isabell I'm coming for her."
“Sure, I will inform Isabell.” isabell's mother said.
Once Isabelle’s mother closed the door, Lara called her mother to pick her up, telling her that Isabelle wasn’t here. She waited until her mother arrived, along with her father. She never expected to see him.
“Daddy!” Lara hugged her father.
"Lara, how are you?". Aaron asked.
"I'm fine daddy, I wasn't expecting to see you". Lara said.
"Me neither". He gave her a kiss on the cheek, then they two got inside the vehicle, driving home.
They were driving safety when something went wrong with the car. Somehow, the brakes were not working.
“It can’t stop,” Aaron shouted.
“What?, What do you mean it can't stop?" her mother said.
“Lara, are you okay?” Aaron turned behind to ask her.

“Aaron, watch out!” Stella shouted.
Breaking News.
“What a tragedy,” the reporter said. "Another death has occurred in the town. There has been a major accident on the highway. Aaron and Stella La Lallana—the richest couple in town, are found dead, with their bodies burnt to an extent one can't recognize them, the speeding car was reported by a local receident when the car first crashed into a fruit stand. However, their ten-year-old daughter Lara survived, and miraculously doesn’t have a single scratch on her body, The little girl says the breaks of the car stopped working all of a sudden and her parents couldn't apprehend what was happening?, As you see in this footage the couple were not able to control the car and they crashed into in uncompleted building which lead to the building collapsing on to the car leading to the death of the couple.
I just got information that a funeral would be held for them by the mayor, tomorrow morning and a charity function would be held to honour their wishes of donating to the orphanage. May the soul of these couple rest in peace.
Meanwhile, in Isabelle's house
Isabell-.P. O. V.
I was lying down on the bed comfortably watching a movie when my mom came in.
“Your friend was there." My mother said.
"Who mom?" I asked.
"Lara came,” she said.
I sat up from my bed. “What?, When?, Where is she?". I said.
“She said she will be coming for you later.” my mother said.
Questions riddled my brain. Why did Lara come to my house? Why did she say she’ll be coming for me later? The alarms in my mind go off.
"Mom why did she leave without meeting me, I mean she came to meet me didn't she?." I asked my mother.
"I have no idea honey, I told her to come in, she didn't want to come in then she said she will be back later." My mother said.
"Okay."
My mom was about to leave my room when she got a phone call.
“What?!” she said. "When did it happen? Father Lord I feel so sorry for her, May their soul rest in peace." She said while hanging up the phone.
"What happened mom? You look worried." I asked my mother.
“Turn on the news, quick!”
I did as instructed. As the news focused on the accident, I was shocked to learn that Lara’s parents were dead. However, Lara herself survived and didn’t sustain any injuries. One of the paramedics comforted the crying girl.
“Poor girl, an orphan at this age,” my mom said. “Your dad needs to hear this.”
I’ve never seen Lara cry before, but I pitied her. I can’t even imagine my life without my parents, but something bothered me. How did she not have a single scratch on her?
