Despite his serene words, I started getting gravitated towards it out of sheer inquisitiveness. The stall guy’s smile dissipated instantaneously as he watched me walk away from the stall, and in the direction of the tent. I reached the entrance and felt warm air blowing from inside the place. The interior appeared dark from the entrance, intimidating me slightly, nonetheless, I still plucked up the courage to enter it purely to satisfy my insatiable curiosity.

I walked through the darkness, no idea in the world what I would discover at the end. A distinctly strong, but arousing essence of lavender diffused through the warm air, teasing my sense of smell.

    The sun had concealed back in the clouds and the temperature seemed to drop drastically as evening fell. Astonishingly, three hours had passed since I entered the tent. I had lost track of time inside the mystical place and gotten so engrossed in the future that I nearly overlooked the present. Shoving all the events that occurred in the tent to the back of my mind, and adrenaline rushing through my blood, I ran as fast as my barely healed legs could take me, my brain thundering and heart pounding like a pendulum. I reached the place where I had left Matt, panting atrociously I looked hither thither but discovered no sign of the three anywhere. I took out my mobile from my handbag hoping to call them but the battery had been completely drained. Clenching my teeth

    The rest of the day passed ordinarily exuberant as well as relieving, as I returned to the hustle and bustle of school and felt born ready to shift my focus back to academics which had gotten substantially neglected as a result of the dreadful events of the last few weeks. The last hour was Psychology for Judy and me, which was predominantly my favourite subject, while Judy loathed it and thus, was pretty terrible at it. Miss Clarissa, who along with being an erudite professor of the subject was also quite an amiable and fortunately lenient teacher who genuinely cared about the students and their grasp on the subject.“Good morning everyone!” Miss Clarissa greeted zestfully, with a dynamic beam that radiated the face of every student and they all

    “Ellie, get up!” yelled James, shaking me hard. I found myself lying in James' car which was stationary, as my eyes fluttered open. Utterly confused, I peeped out of the window to find dad and Jared standing on the roadside as a mechanic replaced the car's tyre.“Where are we, and what happened?” I muttered, my head aching terribly.“We are at Tottenham Court Road, you lunatic. The front tyre got punctured while you were luxuriously dozing off, perhaps dreaming about your boyfriend Matt,” James teased, sniggering loudly. Waving aside his playfulness, I placed my hand on my fore

    I was an insomniac that entire night after Matt dropped me home. My heart had been bulging with a mixture of gargantuan rage, revulsion, and shock, at Emily's despicably murderous acts. No matter how sulky, bad-tempered, and saucy she was, I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined that she would go to such an extent to take revenge. I was boiling with fury, still in disbelief that someone whom I knew, let it be an aggressive competitor, could stoop so low for a petty reason.However, some part of me also felt pleasantly bewildered at the magical appearance of that angelic lady who saved my life. Was she an angel of God? Or could it be only a figment of my imagination in that

    Holden's dramatic transformation and change in lifestyle seemed to have been the astounding result of a lottery of twenty thousand pounds that he had won a nearly a month ago, which he deserved, I believed, considering how he had sagaciously unlocked my psychic abilities and telepathic powers, and the potential peril in which he had placed himself during the process. He led me inside the small room behind the counter, where my powers had been revealed to me. The room looked the same, except that a new set of couches had been placed there and instead of the tiny green bulb on the wall, a small but glowing chandelier hung from the ceiling right at the centre. He offered me a large mug of the finest French Vanilla coffee that I had ever tasted, as I gave him a detai

    My eyelids fluttered open as naturally as having woken up from a deep slumber. I half-expected to be landing in another castle, however, the scenario that came into view left my eyes widened.I was standing in an open-air arena like a massive open-air auditorium. I stood on the topmost step of a series of lengthy stairs that descended below towards the center. And at the center of the arena stood a circular platform that was raised a few inches above the ground…I was in Themiscera, Greece.
