MELISSA’S POV.I gulped my saliva, and hoped for the best.“Chill out, Melissa.” Robin said.“You really are calm, aren’t you?” “It’s always great when you tell yourself that you are brave, and meditate on it.” Robin said.“So, I have to keep meditating, within minutes.”“Wow. You know what I discovered? Since we started this journey, you have been a bit informal with me. I mean, you are now a bit free around me. Did you break up with your boyfriend?”I sighed. Robin was crossing the line, which was getting on my nerves.“Do you prefer the formality?” I asked, glaring at him.“I’m sorry if I crossed the line.” He apologized.Then we got to a building which we went in, and then we kept walking down to the basement, and even after the basement, we went down again. It was truly an underground, but a scary one.“You have to hurry to get into the freedom tube, before the ghouls start working their tricks around you.”“I thought you said we were safe around you.” I asked.“Yes, you are. B
STEFAN’S POV.~flashback~I got a text from Melissa the next day when I wanted to apologize to her at work. I guess she must have forgiven me to have sent me a text. But the text she sent me, made me gape in surprise.“I have gone to find my truth, with Robin. The man you saw me with, the other night, which caused a misunderstanding between us.”I became worried. What truth was she trying to find, and would the man really show her, nothing but the truth, without adding what didn’t happen? Melissa was punishing me, seeing as she didn’t send me a text, with enough information. But maybe it was time for her to know the real truth. I just needed her to be safe, and I was going to confirm.I dialed her number, but it was switched off.“Shit!” I slammed my hand on my face.~back to reality~This was more like the second time she was out of my sight, and I knew that whatever journey she was going on, it was going to take a few days. Would she even inform me when she was back? She really see
MELISSA'S POV."So, what do I have to do, first?" I asked."Give me your hand " I reached out my hand to him, and then he brought out a needle, which he used to prick my skin, and a bit of my blood, trickled down slowly on my finger, and stopped."Why did you do that?" I asked, baffled."It's just a formality you will need to get to know the truth. Don't worry about it. Now, let's get started." He said, with a smile.Robin was being scary, but I guess one had to go through things like this to find out the truth."Touch this ball." He instructed.I moved closer to the ball, and with both my hands, I touched the ball, which light beamed from it. Just as I touched it, I gasped as my eyes began to see events from years back.~flashback~“Jana! Try to keep it under control!” My father shouted, waiting outside my room.“I am sorry, Jana. Those were days of ignorance, I admit that I was selfish.” My father said, with his eyes, looking weary.“Yes. You need to be reminded of how se
STEFAN'S POV."Melissa! Melissa!" I called out her name, and shook her, in worry.I couldn't bring myself to understand what was going on so I decided to take her back home as quick as possible. Going back was a lot easier than when I had to go through a tunnel, and a weird dessert, before I got here.All I needed to go back was just to go out through a door. I drove back home, and Diego opened the door for us."Oh, my goodness. That's Luna Jana." He said, worriedly.I quickly ran upstairs, and laid her on the bed."Melissa, stay with us." I said as I held her hand.Her head was burning, and I could see sweats on her forehead. Then I placed my hand on her forehead, and focused on relieving her pain, until she calmed down. I felt a wave of relief, and held her hands, softly."Thank you for coming back, alive. For staying strong." I said, with a slight smile.Suddenly, I felt her aura, which showed that she was perfectly okay, and now needed rest, before she wakes up. But there was so
STEFAN’S POV.“Oh, no. She is gone? Where are we going to start searching for her?” Diego asked, worriedly.Then I brought out my phone, and dialed her number, but it was ringing, right in his room.“She left her phone.” Diego said.“I still feel uneasy about this, though. Come, let’s track her scent.” I said.Diego tagged along, and we began our search. We kept tracking her scent, and it led us to a particular house.“Alpha, there are two heartbeats here.”“One is hers, and the other, I don’t know. Let’s check in to be certain that nothing is going on wrong.” I instructed.Then we walked towards the door, and knocked. But there was no answer, which was quite suspicious when they were alive. I found out that the door wasn’t locked, so I signaled to Diego, for us to walk in.As we walked in, I sensed that same mysterious aura I sensed around Melissa, the other time. As we walked into the room, to my shock, I saw Melissa, about to claw Layla, in and out of her tummy, but then, she stop
MELISSA'S POV"By the way, when we leave for our kingdom, who is going to take control of your company, while we are gone? It's hard to find good people you can leave things to." I said, worried that all his sweat and blood, would go for nothing."Uhm… regarding that, I already have someone trustworthy in mind." Stefan said as he interlinked his fingers, and laid them each on both his knees."Who is that?""Edward."I was surprised he mentioned Edward. I never expected that he would mention anyone who even works in the company, and even if he would, one would expect that he would choose someone whose position is next to his."Edward? Why Edward? You barely talk to him." I said, looking baffled."You see, Melissa. Everyone who is working at Stefan's Design, both old and young, I have kept my eye on them, right from when they were young. I studied them, and when I was pleased with their personality and skills, I led them here, indirectly, and hired them. Alicia was really cool, and nice
STEFAN’S POV.“Shit!” There was traffic, and it seemed like it was going to take a long while, before I would be able to get through. So, I decided to take a short cut.I wasn’t going to let Melissa die, as long as I still had ways to save her. Then I picked up my phone, and dialed Diego’s number. Thankfully, I got him a phone, just in case I needed to get through to him, especially since I didn’t know when we were going to leave the human world.~flashback~“Here. Take this phone. Just in case I need you, I will reach you on this. Ensure it is always with you.” I said.“Wow. It’s so cool. I will always keep it with me, Alpha.” Diego said, looking happy.~back to reality~“Hello, Alpha.” He finally answered his call, after his phone had been ringing for a while.“I need you to search around Melissa’s street, to be on the look out for her. I just have a feeling that the person she might be with, might be possessed.” “Oh! On it.!” Diego responded.I kept driving through the road, whi
STEFAN'S POV.After Melissa had had her conversation with him, I stepped in. I could see that he was looking better, and brighter than when he was hurt, and I was glad that he stayed alive."How are you feeling, now?" I asked, out of concern."I'm feeling much better. Thank you, sir.""You are welcome. I have something I'll like to talk to you about, and I hope you are in a good condition to hear it." I said.Edward sat up, carefully, looking curious."I am in a good condition, boss. I really do hope it isn't a bad news." Edward said.Most people saw Edward as someone who wouldn't budge at anything, but that was just his outer appearance, and the way he made himself, seem. But he was soft, inside, although strong, but he would never be able to take in a bad news, and be fine, in a few days."Well, thankfully, it isn't what I'll call a bad news." I could see signs of relief in him, and he was ready to hear me out."Edward, I am going on a journey, which could take me years to come ba
