Jeremy rushed up to her and asked, "Why did you poison Cena?"
"I wanted to poison Amaya, but I didn't know how the drink got swapped. I was so jealous when I saw you and Cena risk your life for Amaya!" Latina said tears coming out of her face uncontrollably.
"You shouldn't have done that, Latina!" Jeremy hugged her and petted her while I stood some distance and watched them. I should pity her, right? But I didn't. She wanted to poison me. How come I was this lucky?
Dax walked up to me and hung his arm over my shoulder. "Jeremy chooses Latina, Amaya. He still loves her. It's high time we became lovers!"
"Then go ahead and date him. You are of no use to me and now my enemy. I think you understand better, Amaya!" Jeremy said and followed Latina as they motioned her out of the place.
I and Dax walked out of the place too, but I was depressed over Jeremy's words. I was now in love with Jeremy, and I could not even imagine living a second without h
I left my father's territory and started walking back to the school premises in tears. I seemed to be left alone in this world. My mum had been imprisoned just for my disobedience. She was striving hard to make sure I didn't reveal my hidden abilities, but I disobeyed her and caused her a lot of trouble.The journey back to school was a solitary one, with the cool air drying off my sobs. Each step felt like a painful reminder of the choices I had made, the consequences now haunted me. My mind is disorganized anytime I replay the events that led to this moment: the heated arguments between me and my mum, the unforgiving accusations, and the disastrous decision.Arriving at school, I hesitated at the entrance, contemplating whether I had the strength to face the challenges awaiting me. The next phase of our contest started today, and the realization struck hard being a reminder of my shattered world, and the expectation for my performance was like a hard bone in my neck.As I entered th
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you believe in yourself. You have the strength to overcome any obstacle," He added, his words carrying a surge of conviction. I pressed on. The field seemed to stretch endlessly before me. As I approached the final laps, the cheers from the students became a new form of strength and kicked at Jeremy's bad remarks. "You can't escape your limitations, Amaya. You are not special," Jeremy sneered, his attempts to make me lose growing more desperate. But the veiled stranger continued to counter his negativity. "Believe in yourself, Amaya. You have the power to rise above." In the final stretch of the race, I summoned a reserve of strength I didn't know I possessed. As I crossed the finish line, the cheers of the students erupted like a roaring thunder. I breathlessly but victoriously stood triumphant amidst the field I had conquered while the veiled figure approached me, revealing a reassuring smile. "Thank you," I appreciated genuinely for the
I walked up to the prison bricks. I saw my mum, her head bowed down. There were plates of food in front of her, but she seemed not to have any interest in those delicacies."Mum," I whispered, my voice catching in my throat as I stepped closer to the cold bars that separated us."Amaya!" she replied with a faint smile attempting to mask her pain. "It is bittersweet when you visit. How are you holding up, my love?"Tears welled in my eyes as I struggled to maintain composure. "I'm trying, Mum. But it is so hard seeing you like this. Jason has returned quietly and has promised to help you out of this place."Her eyes narrowed slightly, a shadow of concern flickering across her face. "Jason? You must be careful, Amaya. He doesn't have a pure intention, remember?"I took a deep breath, and anger surged within me. "I can't just sit back and do nothing, Mum. I believe he can help us."She reached through the cold bars, her hand tenderly meeting mi
Chill ran down my spine. I gasped and pulled out of my bedsheets. Cena was dead?" I stammered, my mind struggling to process the implications. "How? What happened?"His gaze held mine, and there was a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. "They say he was poisoned this morning. I don't know the details, but we need to act fast. If he's truly gone, your mother is in immediate danger," He warned."Poisoned?" I repeated, my mind racing to connect the dots. Fear gripped me as I considered the possibility that my actions had inadvertently led to his demise.Jason's expression softened as though he sensed the fear within me. "Amaya, we need to save your mother. Whatever happened to Cena, we cannot change it now. But we can still ensure your mother's safety."I covered my mouth as tears streamed down my face. I caused this. I killed the guy who always loved me. I regret coming to this world, and I couldn't help the turmoil in my system right now."
The Third Person’s POVThe whole school was aware of the escape of Amaya and her mum, but they were still bothered about the guy who stood by Amaya during the prison break. No one knew that it was Jason. Cena was buried, and Dax was released from prison on the condition that he must trace Amaya and her mum. He agreed and joined Jeremy to look after them. Jeremy should have attacked Amaya's father's hideout, but he kept it a secret for reasons that were personal to him. Jeremy started tracking their movements alongside Dax, and other strong students of the school.They nestled in a cabin for days, struggling for survival in the woods. Jeremy and Florida were still not on good terms as she had insisted that nothing happened between him and Amaya. However, they hustled for food together and stood by each other in the woods. One evening, Amaya walked up to the mountains surrounding their cabin as she noticed fleet movements in the surroundings. She quickly returned t
As the executors carried my mother away, Jeremy's whispered words cut through the air. "Now your mum would be killed, and justice would be made for your father killing my mum," he said to me and laughed sinisterly. His words sank deep into my heart, and I couldn't contain the dam of tears that streamed down my face.I stood there, and watched my mother being carried away. I walked slowly towards her, and resounded her name in tears. Serah and Aurora were also present. They were laughing and mocking me as I followed my mother.However, as they were about to carry out the sentence, a sudden figure emerged from the crowds, and walked up to the front of the event. The atmosphere murmured with disbelief as Cena who was thought to be dead showed up once again.In the midst of my fear, and confusion, a glimmer of hope flickered inside of me. Cena approached, his presence commanding attention as everyone were now scared to see him. Jason's eyes grew into sou
It was on the second day, I walked up to my class that was buzzing with students making it up for lectures. Just as I turned a corner, a familiar figure approached me. It was Jeremy. Jeremy walked up to me, his eyes dark with resentment, and pouted his lips just as he got to my front."Don't be too happy just because your mother got released," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice."What does that supposed to mean, Jeremy?" I asked him, gritting my teeth."Your father will pay for killing my mum," He whispered to my ear, and smirked.I stared at him, disbelief clouding my expression. "Jeremy, there is more to the story than you know," I asserted, my voice steady despite the knots in my belly.He scoffed dismissively. "Save your excuses, Amaya. I know the truth, and I'll make sure your family pays for what they have done."I didn't know why but I was bothered when I realized the depth of Jeremy's anger and the dangerous path he seemed in
The Third Person’s POVCena was in the proprietor's office, his head bent down. He stood before the school proprietor who sat on the chair. The proprietor stood up and walked up to his front."You have finally succeeded in making Amaya fall in love with you!" the proprietor exclaimed, a sinister smile playing on his lips.Cena's brow furrowed in confusion. "What does my connection with Amaya have to do with anything? We had a deal, and I have been following through on it."The proprietor leaned back in his chair, his gaze examining him. "Love is a powerful force, Cena. It can be used against our benefit.”Cena's eyes narrowed in suspicion. He parted his lips slightly and said, "I am not playing games with her emotions. What do you mean?"The proprietor chuckled. "You see, Cena, Amaya is more valuable than you realize. Her connection to powerful individuals within the pack makes her a valuable asset. We cannot afford her to be tak
