I shrank back after listening to what he was saying. It partly meant that Carly was going to remain a drop out just like that.He gave me a worried look "You don't have to worry so much OK? Carly is going to be fine, we will just have to let her decide her own decisions as usual""That's right. Also you have to check up on her or she might think you've abandoned her""Sure thing, babe"I blushed, feeling a bit flustered. "How's the wound on your back?""It's nothing serious anymore. After getting riled up by family problems, I let it heal up. It's not like I cared about the stupid punishment, just that this bracelet still is a restriction and...damn! I forgot to have it removed" he realized too late I guess.He patted my head softly with his eyes lit up on seeing how calm I was with him. "You've suddenly began to like me around""Of course, since you suddenly made me like you. I still don't know how I came to like you though"He smirked with his eyes fixed on my bandaged head. "I wish
Valentino completely forgot for a while that I knew nothing much about him. His hand whisked to my side grabbing the leftovers that had been spilled on the bed beside me."One of these days you should visit me and learn more about me" Valentino said hopefully as he helped me pack the leftovers to throw out."Your arm's bleeding. Why didn't you get yourself treated as well? Do you want it to be infected? What....""Shh, you worry for no reason. If your boyfriend were to be here he would have being jealous thinking I'm about snatching his girlfriend" he said, looking away from me."I should be asking you something too. Why didn't you tell me that it was Luca's jacket?"Oh that brings me to the day I had to lie it was a stranger's jacket whereas it wasn't. I was scared of letting my own friend find out that I let the bully in, now he's my boyfriend so gotta explain.I climbed down from the bed and stood in front of him. "You are jealous I won't get to spend time a lot with you right?"He
I gripped the steering really hard with a smirk across my face while I tried to play car race on them. I maneuvered the car to a path that had a signboard with a bodly written word tableted on it.'ROAD STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTIONDanger zone, keep off'Val caught my quick glance on the signboard with a soured look. He still wasn't out of the shock that I could drive and...and now seeing me drive into what seemed like a danger zone choked him on his saliva."Mia, you are crazy already. This says danger zone, stop the car""Don't be a worried freak. Just have faith in me. If those bad people get us, we are doomed""How do you know they are bad people?" He queried, eyes not looking off my face as I was still focused on driving deep into the road that smelled danger."The same question I have for you. You started running from them didn't you?" I fired back as he kept his mouth shut.What he didn't know was that I had some plans up my sleeve. Didn't just enter the stupid road without thinkin
Author's POVNanny pen moved away from the rice after checking to see if it needed more water to it before she plodded to where Val and Mia were both seated. She handed both of them a glass of orangeade each and sat on the single couch closest to the dining area."So, do you want to discus anything with me?" She asked"No, nanny. Val and I will just be in the room to discuss maths. I have competition next week, next week... Val what day is it?"Val turned away from his juice to reply me "Thursday and today is friday""That is also good news! Val, you wait here please" Mia said, leaving his side to go and bother her parents over something.They were laid on the bed with only her mom sleeping and her dad on his phone as his back was still laid on the bed."Honey, what are you doing in our room?" Mr Carson asked, dropping his phone on the bedside table to receive the girl's reasons for coming in there.Mia began "Dad, since today is Friday, wouldn't it be a perfect day for the picnic? We
"Welcome to Metropolitan museum of Art. I'm Joshua, your tour guide" the tour guide said to the three of them before winking at the 13 year old girl.The three of them nodded, expecting the tour to begin. It quite began as if if he had read their minds."Joshua, is that not Mary Cassatt's painting on young Mother sewing?" Mia asked, still holding unto Lola's left hand."Yes, this is Mary Cassat's painting on young Mother sewing 1900. In this painting you can see the mother of the girl is seated, with her child perched on her mother's knee as she does her sewing. This...""We have eyes Mr Joshua, can you just explain the meaning?" Lola retorted, getting sick of being told what she was seeing with her own two eyes.A/N I so love paintings but later on began to know a painting's worth through it's meaning. I'm not drifting from the story line though but this chapter is for a reason., continue.The tour guide's eyes landed on the anxious girl before he continued without any offense."A lo
After the jostle in the car, he finally halted the car in front of a huge building in the woodland. No one would imagine the building was there except they were too curious.It's actually a sanctuary home which Raven had built for refugees that were attacked in a remote town by the werewolves or any places they had escaped from.They were able to get treatments and free food to survive on while most of them seemed to have their sons work with Raven since she was their life saver. Even females were volunteers for this kind of job.As she walked into the sanctuary upon the gate guards opening of the gates, she was greeted first by little chidren all holding books."Lady boss, you are welcome" a 13 year old girl the same height as Lola said approaching her."I see you guys are still having class, well done kids" She commended. It was no surprise seeing that the kids had access to home school and even with that, Raven gave them access to real school but boarding while some chose to go fro
Raven chuckled, grabbing the apple in the basket on a stool not far from her reach as she took a bite from the apple still looking at Delilah.“Your demon is gnashing and wailing out of anger and you know why?” Mia asked the puzzled lady still feeling the heatness of her demon's agony.Delilah's eyes blazed dark before it dawned on her that she was feeling her demon leaving her. “Raven, wh...""Shhh hush! My dear Delilah, can't you see I'm doing you a favor here hm?""No, you are killing me this way. If she leaves me then I will die. I'm supposed to be in hell with her" Delilah cried in pain."Trust me Delilah. Morgana lied to you. She's a demon and demons lie. That's their way of living in humans to the fullest. I am afraid I don't want her to exist here anymore" Raven said throwing the half eaten apple aside, rising from the seat too as she caressed the girl's cheek."She is gone and you are free"Delilah knew the demon was gone from her. She felt different just like she was when sh
When he was done eating, he kept bothering her to tell him about the things going on in her school. She told him she was just spying for the meantime.However, she didn't leave the bullying part aside because he was trustworthy enough to know. "You mean you let them bully you all for a mission? Mia, I think this is the height of it" he pointed out.She chuckled lightly going over to his side with a beaming smile that could ease anyone's worries. "It isn't anything that I can't handle. Besides, I'm immune to pain now owing that the pain of years ago has taught me a lot. I may appear weak before them but I'm a slow poison in the dark. Trust your pumpkin"He shook his head and just then the door was pushed open revealing their parents."Dad! Look who's here" Mia rushed over to them"Is that who I think it is?" Mrs Carson was flabbergasted."Yes mom, it's me Henry. I'm very much alive" he said watching the look of sadness that brushed up on her face.Mr Carson: unbelievable! We all thoug
