Kai Xen, eighteen years old, the son of Xen and Amelia attends Elite Academy which looks like a normal school but deep dark secrets lie within it. A secret no one knew about until six students mysteriously vanished from the school only to find themselves in a strange world. Kai, one of the students was used to disappearing and appearing all the time but the five people he was with looked like they had no idea what had just happened. He wasn't worried about how he got there, he was more worried about why he was there. "Can someone just explain to me what the hell just happened?" One of the girls- Livvy Elle asked. Kai looked around for something, a clue or whatever that could tell them where they were but everywhere was covered in fog and no one could make out anything. "We are probably in the land of the dead." One of the guys- Blaze Grayson whispered making scary sounds that were enough to make Livvy run up to meet Kai for protection. "I am already scared as it is...please don't

"Dad...Just find a safe place to hide OK?" Amelia told her father touching his face. They were talking when Dalton came to meet Amelia grabbing her by her hair. Andrae used that moment to hide. He could hear grunting and shouting, but he couldn't see anything. Dalton carried Amelia up and toss her against the wall making her grunt in pain as she fell to the ground. "Go and save her I will handle this," Carlos told Xen. Xen looked at Carlos to see if he will be OK. Carlos nodded. Dalton was this close to attacking Amelia when Xen ran to shield Amelia from the attack. Dalton figured he couldn't move anymore and when he looked down he saw a sword in his stomach it was then he knew this was the end. Slowly and slowly each part of his body started vanishing until there was nothing there. Rose knew she was dead and there was no going back from it, she fell to her knees and they gave Carlos the privilege to kill her. "You were a thorn in the flesh," Carlos told her as he grabbed the swor

Amelia and her dad looked at each other as they all wore shocked expressions on their faces. "Can someone explain to me what is going on here?" Andrea asked. He was surprised to see his daughter. He looked at Laura and said, "What has come over you?" He asked turning his attention back to his daughter. He was sad to see his daughter being tied down like an animal. "Release her right now!" He ordered but they all laughed at him. He was even more surprised to see his wife laughing at him. "Laura." He called."That's not mom," Amelia said."What do you mean?" He asked."Mom is dead." She turned to see her dad's reaction. "Mom is dead." She said again.Andrea shook his head. "That's not possible." He said still in doubt. "Your mom is standing right..." He paused as he took a few seconds to take note of the situation. After he was done speculating, he looked at Amelia. "How...how come?'"She was killed by a ghost," Amelia said. Even without looking at her dad, she could tell her dad was gi

Amelia and her mother walked to a certain area. She was becoming uncomfortable because her mother hasn't said a word to her which is weird. "Mom," Amelia called but her mother didn't listen to her. She walked closer to her mother tapping her on her shoulder she called again, "Mom." This time Laura turned to face her with a smile on her face."We are almost there," Laura told her daughter."Almost where??" Amelia asked feeling uncomfortable in the area. "Mom, let's go back. We have wandered far too long, they must be waiting for us right now." As Amelia turned to leave, Laura grabbed her hand making her turn to face her. Immediately Amelia turned, Laura pulled her close and hits Amelia's head with her head making Amelia stumbled and faint.Laura pulled Amelia by the leg and dragged her to a remote area where Dalton stationed them to be.~~~"Where are Amelia and her mother?" Tamara asked."They have been gone for too long." Devon with a worried look on his face said."I will go and loo

Xen and his friends came up with an idea. "I feel this is going to work," Jason said. The others nodded in agreement."I guess we can handle this," said Carlos."I knew with Xen this thinking stuff will be amazing." Everyone chuckled at Devon's remark."I better start going now before Riele-Rose finds out I am gone." Xen stood up and was about to take his leave when Amelia stood up to meet him."Be safe okay?" She said. Xen nodded touching her cheeks. "And my mom, can you help me find a way to get her here?" Amelia asked.Xen nodded and bade them goodbye.Amelia sighed. It was like there was this empty void she was feeling inside of her but she doesn't know why she is feeling that way. Clarissa noticed and she came to meet her. "Are you ok?" She asked.Amelia placed her hand on her chest and said, "My heart feels empty...like something is missing."Tamara who heard the conversation joined them and said, "Maybe you are missing Xen, I mean you guys just shared a passionate kiss."Amelia

Amelia and her friends were brainstorming on the plans but nothing seems to be working out. "I don't think this is going to work out," Devon said as he gave up thinking."We need Xen. He is the brainbox of the ghosthunters, without him. We are nothing." Tamara answered.Amelia looked around to see who else agreed to that and her surprise, everyone agreed.She stood in front of them and said, "Listen, guy, I know this is hard for every one of us but we need to accept the fact that we don't have Xen here with us anymore. The brainbox of the ghosthunters is on a break right now but at least we still have the heart..." She pointed to Carlos. "...without Carlos, we wouldn't be able to achieve anything and Tessa said something... We need to work together, two heads are better than one and the great thing about this is that we have more than two people in the group which makes it easier for us to come up with a plan."They all nodded. "We will come up with a plan then," Jason said as they we

Kim sat on the edge of the bed, his hands folded tightly in his lap. The room felt too quiet now that the words he had been holding inside were finally out. The weight of everything—his feelings for Riele, the kiss with Jane, the way he had been juggling both women for so long—was pressing down on him. And yet, for the first time in what felt like forever, he wasn’t sure where to go next. Jay leaned against the wall, arms crossed as he regarded his friend. The tension between them had always been palpable, but now it was different. Jay knew Kim had been struggling with his feelings for a while, and he knew it wasn’t easy to come to terms with it. Still, the conversation they needed to have wasn’t over."You've got to talk to Riele about the kiss," Jay finally said, his voice steady but firm. "You can't just let that slide. It means something, Kim. She deserves to know how you feel."Kim’s eyes dropped to the floor as he exhaled sharply. “I know it was a mistake,” he muttered, his voi

Kim stiffened as Jane’s lips touched his, his mind racing. The kiss was fleeting, but the impact lingered like a storm cloud ready to burst. He pulled back sharply, his hand raising as if to create distance between them.“Jane, what are you doing?” His voice was low, confused, and laced with regret.She smiled faintly, her eyes searching his. “Reminding you of what we had… and what we could still have.”Kim clenched his jaw, his heart heavy with the weight of her words. “That was a long time ago. Things are different now. I love Riele.”Jane’s expression darkened, but she masked it with a bitter smile. “Love? You think what you have with her is love? We built something real, Kim. That doesn’t just disappear because she came into the picture.”“It’s not about her replacing anything,” Kim said firmly. “It’s about what’s real now.” He took a step back. “I can’t do this, Jane. I’m sorry.”But before he could say more, a gasp from behind startled them both.At the garden’s entrance, Riele

The morning sun filtered through the grand hotel windows, filling the room with a soft glow. The air was warm with the scent of fresh pastries and brewed coffee as the four of them gathered for breakfast. The mood was lighter than the night before; the glow of victory still clung to their smiles and conversations.“Any plans for today?” Jay asked, his eyes twinkling with playful energy as he glanced around the table.“I think we should take a break and explore,” Jane suggested, her fingers idly stirring her cup of tea. “After all, we’re in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.”Riele nodded, the idea of getting some fresh air and exploring beyond the competition appealing to her. “That sounds great. We should make a day of it.”Kim, his hand resting lightly on Riele’s, looked between her and Jane. “All of us together?”Jay grinned. “Actually, why don’t we split up? I’ve got some places in mind, and I was thinking Riele might want to join me. You could—” He flicked a glance at

After the award ceremony’s excitement settled, the group decided it was time to unwind. The long hours of preparation, the tense competition, and the adrenaline of victory had left them all exhausted. They headed back to their hotel, each person retreating to their respective rooms to savor a moment of peace before the after-party.Riele entered her room and closed the door, leaning against it for a moment. The plush carpet under her feet felt grounding after the overwhelming rush of the day. She took a deep breath, her mind still replaying the events of the evening—the applause, the bright lights, and Kim’s heartfelt speech thanking them all.When Kim had pulled her into that celebratory kiss, her heart had leaped in her chest. The kiss wasn’t just about winning; it had felt like a culmination of every moment they had fought for. Even now, the memory left her feeling warm and light-headed. She had kissed him back, completely forgetting the cameras, the crowd, and the world beyond the

The air was thick with excitement as the awards ceremony reached its climax. The grand hall buzzed with energy, the flashing lights of cameras catching every angle of the designers, models, and industry professionals who had poured months of hard work into the competition. The atmosphere was electric, the crowd eagerly waiting for the final announcement—the winner of the year’s prestigious modeling competition.The host stood at the podium, his charismatic voice booming through the venue, addressing the crowd with flair. “Ladies and gentlemen, before we announce tonight’s winner, let’s take a moment to thank all the incredible participants who have made this competition so remarkable. Without each of you, this show wouldn’t be the success it is today. A round of applause for all our competitors!”The crowd erupted into applause, and the models and designers stood proudly, each one sharing in the collective pride of what had been a hard-fought competition. From the beginning, every one

The atmosphere in the venue had shifted again, this time to a celebratory one. The excitement in the air was palpable as the models, their looks still sharp and ready, mingled backstage, awaiting their next assignment. The host, a charismatic woman in a bold red dress, stood before the crowd, her eyes glinting with enthusiasm.“Now, everyone,” she announced, “it’s time for something special. We want all the bosses of our incredible models to join them on stage for a photo op. It’s time for a snapshot of success, a symbol of the hard work and collaboration that’s gotten us to this moment.”Riele felt a small wave of anxiety at the mention of the "bosses"—that meant Kim would be front and center, just as he always was. The others gathered in groups, some laughing, some adjusting their outfits, while Riele remained slightly apart, her gaze flicking to where Kim was already motioning for her."Riele," Kim called, his tone casual but firm, “come on over here. I want to get a picture with yo
