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

Jay sat by the window of his hotel suite, watching the lights blink across the skyline. He had been waiting all day to hear from Kim. He knew the wedding was supposed to happen, and by now, it should’ve been over. He had expected pictures, at least a short call. But nothing came.He picked up his phone and tried again.After a few rings, Kim finally answered. His voice was low, almost tired.“Hey,” Kim said.“Man,” Jay replied, standing up and pacing. “I’ve been calling. What’s going on? How did it go?”There was silence.Jay paused. “Kim?”Kim let out a long breath. “It didn’t happen.”“What?” Jay stopped pacing. “What do you mean?”Kim’s voice cracked a little. “She didn’t marry me. The wedding got interrupted.”Jay sat down again, slowly. “By who?”“Jane.”Jay blinked. “Jane? Why? What did she do?”“She stood up in front of everyone. Said she’s pregnant... and that the baby is mine.”Jay’s jaw dropped. “She said that at the altar?”Kim’s voice was hollow. “Just as the priest was ab

The moment Charlotte dragged Riele out of the chaos and into the quiet room beside the hall, her friend’s legs gave out beneath her.“Riele!” Charlotte gasped, just barely catching her before she collapsed completely.Riele's skin had turned pale. Her lips quivered. She clutched at her chest, breath coming out in short, broken gasps.“I… I can’t breathe,” she whispered.Charlotte guided her toward the edge of the couch. “Sit. Just sit for a second. Deep breaths, okay? Riele, look at me. Stay with me.”But Riele never made it to the couch. Her eyes rolled back, her knees buckled again, and she crumpled like a doll in Charlotte’s arms.“No, no, no. Stay with me!” Charlotte cried, lowering her to the carpet, her voice shaking as she screamed out toward the hallway. “Somebody call an ambulance! Now!”The minutes that followed were a blur. Voices shouted, footsteps ran, someone brought water that Charlotte never used. Her focus stayed fixed on Riele’s still form, on the way her chest rose

The church was filled with the scent of fresh flowers and the hum of quiet anticipation. Soft music floated through the air as guests took their seats, dressed in their best, smiles lighting their faces. The atmosphere was warm, joyful, and full of love. Every detail from the simple white roses lining the aisle to the soft glow of the chandelier seemed to echo the happiness that had brought everyone together.Riele stood just beyond the large wooden doors of the church, her arm looped through Harry’s. She wore a gown that shimmered under the morning light, delicate lace hugging her frame. Her veil was light and soft, like a breath of air. She held a small bouquet of peonies, her hands trembling slightly, more from excitement than nerves.“You look like Mom,” Harry said quietly, glancing down at her with a proud smile.Riele blinked back sudden tears. “Thank you.”The music shifted. The doors opened. Everyone stood.Riele walked slowly down the aisle, eyes fixed on Kim. He stood at the

Riele stepped into the bridal boutique, her fingers curling slightly around the strap of her purse. The shop was warm and elegant, filled with rows of ivory and pearl-colored gowns. Charlotte walked beside her, carrying Hope in a soft sling across her chest. The little girl was already looking around with wide eyes.Riele let out a quiet breath as she looked around.“So many dresses,” she said, more to herself than anyone else.Charlotte grinned. “You’re about to be a bride, Rie. Don’t rush. Try them all if you want.”Riele smiled back, but her eyes were already moving across the room. There were sleek gowns, flowing lace ones, some glittering softly under the lights. The shop assistant came over with a friendly face, introduced herself as Sera, and offered to help.Riele gave a nod. “I want something simple but beautiful. Nothing too heavy. Something I can dance in.”“Got it,” Sera said, already moving to a rack.Charlotte rocked Hope gently and looked at Riele. “Are you nervous?”Ri

Riele stood by the kitchen sink, staring blankly out the window at the swaying trees in the garden. She had replayed the scene with Jane more times than she cared to admit—her eyes, her voice, that almost mocking smile when she asked Riele to call off the wedding. There had been no clear reason, no explanation, just a demand wrapped in veiled hostility. It left a sour taste in Riele's mouth and a heaviness in her chest that wouldn’t go away.She wiped her hands and picked up her phone. Her thumb hovered over Charlotte’s name for a moment. She had already told Kim about Jane’s visit, but he had only looked confused and a bit concerned. Riele hadn’t told him everything—not the exact words Jane had used, not how her presence had chilled the room. She needed someone who could help her think clearly, someone who wouldn’t immediately rush into protective action.She needed Charlotte.Without overthinking it, Riele grabbed her keys, slipped into a light cardigan, and headed out the door.The

The soft scent of freshly brewed tea wafted through Riele’s living room, mingling with the distant hum of a playlist Charlotte had picked—gentle acoustic love songs that filled the silence between conversations. The coffee table was buried beneath magazines, color swatches, and a notepad scribbled with names and ideas. Riele sat cross-legged on the couch, flipping through a bridal catalogue, while Charlotte and Kim debated the merits of an outdoor ceremony versus an indoor one. Utter leaned back in the armchair, half-involved, half amused, nursing a glass of juice like he’d been roped into something way beyond his understanding. Hope was sleeping soundly beside them. “It has to be outside,” Charlotte said, pointing to a photo of a vineyard-style wedding with twinkling fairy lights. “You and Kim under a canopy of stars? That’s poetry.”“It rains in spring,” Kim said, folding his arms. “A surprise downpour isn’t romantic. It’s soggy.”“That’s why tents exist,” Charlotte shot back.Riel
