Kayla. After the encounter with that same weird creature last night, I decided to leave and take some distance away to clear up my head. I had made a deal with the creature, a deal which I had no idea of what it’s repercussion would be on me.But then, I had no other option. If I didn’t make that deal, the fight would have continued until each of them killed themselves. I stirred on the grass where I slept on last night. It was morning already and I felt so empty. My heart suddenly felt weird and I had no idea of what to do about it. I came into the forest to find answers about my mothers death, but then, I ended up having an encounter with a creature and then, returned to the beginning point of the forest where I met my step brothers who had company. This was definitely crazy. Not only that, everyone seemed to be blaming me for what happened and yes, I suddenly felt a wave of self guilt. It was my fault after all, despite how hard I tried to encourage myself that it wasn’t. If
Kayla “James, can you hear me?” I asked as I tapped him fervently, hoping that he would open his eyes, even for a minute. “Claire! Ethan”, I called out again as I walked over to them. They mumbled some inaudible words but that was all. Their state of unconsciousness still had a strong grip on them. “What are we going to do? Why are they not waking up?” I asked as I turned to Jason who had his hands folded to his chest.He had a massive frown on his face and it wasn’t hard to see that he already concluded that I was the enemy. “Look…I didn’t do this! I can swear that I didn’t do this”, I cried out, with tears pouring out of my eyes.“I would believe you if only you bring them back to consciousness”, Jason said and I opened my mouth in shock.“Consciousness?” I asked and he nodded his head in affirmation.How was I going to bring them back when I had no idea of why they were in such state? What does he expect me to do?“I have no idea of what to do. I mean, I didn’t do this to them.
Jason Kayla pointed out that she had something to say to me and inasmuch as I was enraged at the moment, I could tell that whatever it was that bothered her was quite serious. “What do you have to say?” I finally asked, lifting my eyes to stare at her terrified look. She swallowed hard and stood up, dug her hands into her head and blew out hot air. It was clear that she was trying so hard to figure out the exact way to kickstart the conversation. “Well, something is wrong with this forest and whatever it is did this to them”, she said while i folded my hands to my chest and looked at her. I gestured for her to proceed with what she said since I wasn’t ready to make any conclusions until she was done with the tale. “I felt it last night when you started fighting with James. There was another presence here and …and I met it”, she said and for a minute, I thought that I’ve just heard wrongly. I looked at her intently, with an unbelievable look on my face. “You met it?” I asked
KaylaI told Jason the truth, but he didn’t seem so convinced. At this point, I knew that I had to do what I could to bring them back to consciousness. Jason was beginning to feel that I could do something but was intentionally holding back and so, I had to try doing something.My eyes darted to James, Ethan and Claire and unknowingly, my heart sank in utmost agony. I was so pained as I knelt down, with tears dripping out of my eyes.“I command you to wake up”, I said to James, with my entire attention and strength focused on him. I wanted him to wake up or stir at all cost and I wasn’t ready to stop until that happened.“I command you to wake up!” I said again as I closed my eyes and focused my entire energy on him. I knew that my powers weren’t supposed to work. The beast had told me that my powers wouldn’t work, even if I made use of it with an amplifier. However, I wanted to try and see what would happen. My head swirled at that point and a wave of dizziness struck me with full
Jason My heart raced as I stared at Kayla who wasn’t making any attempt to stop her quest to bring them back to consciousness.I’ve never seen Kayla in so much pain and discomfort. She was bent on bringing them back even if she was losing herself in the process. “Kayla, please, stop!” I mumbled under my breath as I blankly stared at her, without an idea of what next to do. I sniffed hard when she continued muttering those her magical words that didn’t do anything other than make her nose blood. Just then, she screamed in pain and landed on the ground, turning almost lifeless. The world stopped and for a minute, I wished that I was only having a bad dream. I pinched myself hard and gulped down hard, wishing that she would get up and look at me. Minutes passed and she remained there on the ground, almost lifeless…“Kayla! Wake up!” I screamed as I rushed over to her, tapping her heavily and praying that she would stir. She remained in that state, not moving an inch. I looked aro
EthanIt felt as if I’ve been away for years…as though I’ve been asleep for a very long time. I woke up and found myself on the hard ground of the forest and slowly, memories of all what happened started flowing in.Kayla was looking at everyone of us, with a mixed expression she tried to conceal with her smiles. I could tell that something was off, even if I couldn’t place my hands on what it was.I knew I owed Kayla and apology and I was willing to give that to her as long as it would make her feel better. Jason walked up to me some minutes after Kayla walked away and i ceased that opportunity to ask him about what happened.“Can you explain everything?” I asked Jason who took in a deep breath and folded his hands to his chest. He had a small look of guilt on his face and from what I observed, he blamed himself for a majority of what had happened.“Maybe, we shouldn’t have blamed Kayla for anything, even if we were so angry”, Jason started, prompting me to turn cold.“I’ve never s
KaylaEthan was the only person I could talk to. No, I didn’t really say much to him, but I could bear being in his presence unlike Jason. Jason disgusted me to the core and right now, my heart was sealed each time I thought of him. Ethan apologized and I understood. He was the most intelligent and understanding from all of them and so, it wasn’t hard to place my hands on the reason why they reacted in the way and manner they did. “I missed you, Kayla”, Ethan said as he took a hold of my hands and placed a soft kiss on it. I stiffened and wore a small smile on my face. Just then, my eyes darted over to Claire and my heart skipped a beat.“Did you just think of the fact that we are…”, I trailed off as I gazed at Ethan who was suddenly looking as if he had just seen a ghost. “Shit!” He yelped as we both shifted our eyes to gaze at Claire who was now looking at us. From the look she had on her face, it was not hard to point out the fact that she already knew we were mates.“She kno
Third person. The atmosphere was silent. Claire turned to look at Kayla who had a soft look on her face. Kayla was so convinced that Claire already learnt about the secret and so, she wanted to know her thoughts about it. Claire on the other hand was quite confused about what Kayla was pointing at. “I didn’t read anyone’s mind in this forest”, Claire protested but Kayla took in a deep breath and shook her head negatively. The last thing she wanted at this point was to listen to anything that had lies in it.“Ethan and I had a conversation, a very confidential one. You listened to our conversation and I saw it in your eyes”, Kayla insisted, causing everyone around to look at her. Jason cleared his throat after a while and decided to speak up. He was beginning to get exhausted because they had been in the forest for a day and there didn’t seem to be any sign of progress.“Kayla, I think you should step down on what you think. Claire is already going through a lot because she is try
