2024-10-29 19:42:56Bad Dream!
I got up from lying down. I’m running out of breath. Again, I dreamt of it, the same dream ... the same nightmare. I’m staring blankly at the wall. I once more drifted back.
I shook my head, trying to erase the dream in my mind while I let my body fall on the bed, bouncing me gently for a second. I spread my arms and stared at the ceiling for a few moments before turning my head to the alarm clock. The sound of it made me realize that it’s already eight o’clock in the morning.
I usually get up around 6 a.m., but whenever one of my nightmares comes to visit me, I wake up within two hours. It has been two months since I dreamt about it. I hope I won’t dream about it anymore. I hope it will never come back again—to haunt me.
Tears welled up in my eyes.The hot fluid ran down every side of my cold, pale face. Whimpers came out of my mouth. I don’t want to dream of it again. I can’t bear the agony of it.
No!
Never!
No!
It will never be my fault. No, it’s not me! Not me...

Let Tita Elena just be on that thing.” Jillian was not pleased about it. Vesta presumed Jillian could help her, but as her aunt, Jillian was from the same perspective. Vesta placed the half-content wine glass on the glass table. Vesta scowled, it’s not the thing that Jillian averse but the reason that they don’t want her to go there. “Will you please tell m

When Vesta and Ashley reached the house. It amazed Vesta how there were no changes in the house of Godmother Estella. The euphoria of the past snatched her out of the present. The paint was the same when the last she saw it, even though the gate was still the same. Like nothing changed for eight years. There were many flowering plants in front of the two-story house. How Vesta misses this place so much. They always went here and played with Ashley and a few of their friends when they were kids. Ashley opened the gate before they entered the house until they reached the garage. Vesta came out to the front seat, and she saw Godmother Stella approaching them.

Vesta tossed the tissue in the trash can before she opened the door of the comfort room. She looked in disbelief when Ashley left her. Ashley told her she will stay outside because Sean called. And now Ashley was not here. Vesta walked fast while looking at her surrounding until she walked to the stairs leading to the second floor. Then she saw Ashley in the middle of the hallway. Vesta approached Ashley, who was calling for someone. "Ash, why you left me in the comfort room?" she asked Ashley immediately. Vesta wanted to know the truth about why Ashley left her. “Sad, he left,” Vesta heard what Ashley declared. The who? “Who left?” Vesta was wondering what Ashley said. “The new handsome guy.

“Nothing? What’s nothing?” The first thing Yuki mumbled after Draze let him knew Daro evaded his prison. Yuki faces confusion because for him it was very absurd to escape it. “Daro is no longer in his cell. One of your guard men confirmed it to me and I verified what he said was true.” Yuki stood up in his chair in horror. “What? How did he escape?" The fell face expressed in Yuki’s representation. Draze also responded with an identical reaction when he first heard it. “I think someone had helped him to escape. Someone in your man who is a traitor, one of whom you trusted,” Draze muttered seriously. Yuki clasped at the edge of the table. He was angry, and Draze saw it in his uncle’s face. “Tell the three Elemental vampires that Daro escaped from prison. You passed this fastly, it will caus

She turned her gaze to the garden below her. Through moonlight she could see the differentcoloursof roses planted by her godmother andsomeflowering plants.The cool breeze was playing with her short hair. Her eyes moved at something moving in one tree of the mini forest, twenty meters away from where she was. Forming a furrow on her forehead, trying to figure out if someone is lurking behind. A sigh came out of her mouth, the coolness of the air she breathed

Vesta slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the white ceiling of the hospital, smelling the antiseptic and bleach combined in the puff of the aircon. She winced when she felt the pain in her head, using her trembling hand she touched her head, feeling the clothes of the bandage wrap around. The flashback of what happened came to here unexpectedly, the man appeared in the road, the screeching of the tires as she steps on the brake, causing her to lose control of her maneuver as she tried not to hit the person, and she crashed on the nearby tree.

The car pulled in front of the house of Vesta's godmother, she unclasped the seat belt and rolled her head to the left to look at the man who turned off the engine. "Thank you." And she opened the car door. "Keep my words," he said solemnly as he watched her walk away. Vesta's hand is on the side of the door, and she stares at Zaiden, waiting for her to say something. She crossed her hands at the back and smiled. "I keep it," she answered, and was frowned at by a shake in his head. "I'll be watching you if you don't, Vesta," he warned. Vesta's brows furrowed and deepened, staring at the man in disbelief, yet she didn't show it to him. She closed the car door and turned her back to the gate of the house. She didn't turn around. Her ear was listening for him to leave, and she was on the porch when she turned her head. The car was still there, and the window in the front seat was opened. Their eyes met, and Zaiden peered at her seriously. He meant what he said! She raised her hand

Vesta's body stiffened, feeling the pain when the man behind her created a small wound sliced in her neck. She could not help as her hot tears fell. "Please, I ..." She lost her voice of the fear that engulfed her whole system. Why is she in this situation? If she didn't come here, it wouldn't have happened.

Memories flood her of the accident flashed in her mind. Tasting death again. Will Zaiden save her? Who is this man threatening not to kill him? What is going on?

"How is that possible?" Ashley questioned Vesta as they went down the stairs to the first floor. Vesta confided in her cousin about her brother's friend and his apparent girlfriend. Ashley hoisted an eyebrow as she peered at her. Vesta stopped at the side of the stairs. “In this picture,” she said and showed it to Ashley. She was supposed to tell Ashley yesterday about this, but she forgot because of the article review she needed to finish last night given by their professor on their indigenous craft and arts subject. Ashley snatched the picture from her. She looked at it closely. "I don't know them, are you sure those two are from here?" Ashley said forthwith.

Vesta immediately got off the tricycle. She stepped heavily as she walked to the open gate of the house of Sean's parents. Ashley hugged her tightly as soon as she saw Vesta enter. "I'm so sorry Vesta, if I didn't tell you right away. I want to make sure it was him," Ashley said in a hoarse voice. Vesta stroked her back before she slowly pushed Ashley. She saw the redness of her cousin's eyes full of grief looking at Vesta. It reminded her of herself when Ashley called her about Xyrell. Now, it hurts so much. "I understand, don't worry, Ash," Vesta said and gently squeezed her cousin's right arm just to make Ashley feel fine. They went inside the house when the rain fell on them.
