MELISSA’S POV.I watched as Layla called Stefan and my bones continued to crack. I felt really scared and thought I was going to die.“I’m scared, Layla.” I said and then a serious bone crack occurred which caused me to growl hard.Layla looked really scared and she was in tears as she managed to run out of the room. This got me excited. My meal threw in a challenge and I was ready to chase her around the house, if that was what she wanted.I ran after her until she got to the sitting room, panting heavily. As she unlocked the door, I pounced on her and threw her to the sofa.“Melissa, please spare me. What has gotten into you?” “You have the wrong name, miss. I am Jana.” I said, with a sharp growl.Then I moved at a fast speed towards her, and picked her up. I slammed her against the wall and pinned her neck to the wall, with a smirk on my face.“How does it feel to look death in the eye?” I smile enjoying the fear in her eyes.I watched as she choked and I tilted my head, left and
STEFAN’S POV.While I sat in the sitting room, sipping the blood I poured into a glass cup, I scrolled through my phone. I had planned to finish my drink before Melissa came back as I wouldn’t want her, feeling even more cringe, seeing me drink blood like it was nothing.I gulped it down in one go and then I heard her screams. I immediately ran up the stairs at a very fast speed, but was flustered, seeing her naked.“Uhm… What’s wrong?” I asked as I took my eyes, off her.“A demon. It’s in the bathroom.”“Oh, no. Not my bathroom.” The demons’ blood was really annoying and I wondered why they spilled blood. There were just a lot of things in the supernatural world that are still left, unexplained. But I understood. If not, I wouldn’t have kept mute without telling Melissa who exactly gave her that wrist band. I also was baffled as to the reason she gave her. The moon goddess had graced her with a visit, which was a rare experience.I snapped back to reality, and threw Melissa, a blan
STEFAN’S POV.I got to Melissa’s house, but her door was shut tight, and so, I decided to pass through the window. I rushed to her room, only to find the demon about to pierce her. I growled and charged at it.The demon looked at me and then left Melissa, then also charged at me. It was a cruel fight between us and I had gotten several injuries from it, and it was weakening me by the second. I knew I had to kill it before I dropped dead or something. Fortunately, I managed to kill it.“Are you okay?” Melissa asked me, looking worried.“Why wouldn’t I be okay? We have completed this part of our mission.” I gave a slight smile, trying to hide my pain.Then the wandering spirit appeared.“Well-done both of you. But you have to leave this place, right this instant. The portal that would transport you to the ghost world would start closing up, since you have killed the demons.”“Why the heck is it that way?” “Because it is a challenge. Now, off you go.”The wandering spirit disappeared a
MELISSA’S POV.“If you are thinking morning will come, do not be deceived. We have no sun over here. This is to test how bad you want what you came here for and how confident you are.” He said as he turned around slowly to look at me. I felt I was going to faint if I saw his face, I dreaded seeing his face because I knew he was going to be scary.To my surprise, he was faceless. It was just a cloak that seemed like a ghost, and then I passed out, only to wake up later.Everywhere was still dark, and I knew that this was serious, and I had to take this head on. Those scary things won't allow me to move forward, and that won’t be good. I stood up and kept moving forward until I saw a dark alley where I could see nothing but somehow, I knew that was the way to where I was going to. Fear gripped me as I made my way into the alley and couldn't see a thing, then I felt a cold hand hold my wrist. “Gotcha!” It said, in a husky voice.I screamed out loud and released myself from its grip an
MELISSA’S POV.“Oh no! I didn't make it?” I said as I found myself back in the ghost house. The little bottle had probably dissipated, since I wasn't able to get the child's tears. How certain am I that I can pass the others? Does it mean I'll be here until I grow old? Until forever? Oh, no! What did I get myself into?“Alright. I'll have that, thank you.” The first ghost said as it stretched its hands to my neck and dragged a necklace on my neck as it cut.“Ouch!” The necklace gave me a sting as it was dragged.To my surprise, the bottle was the necklace pendant. It had appeared on my neck in the form of a necklace, and it's pendant. I was overjoyed that I was able to get the teardrop for the ghost. But as the first demon sat down, he changed into an ugly creature.It had an oblong head with little tiny tentacles all around its face and head, leaving space for only the ugly eyes, which looked rotten. The body was like that of a big octopus with long tentacles. I screamed in horror
MELISSA’S POV.I gulped down my saliva in fear. Surrendering right now was a theory I had to try out, risking my life. I really hoped that I was right, as I didn't want to die right here, without living the kind of life I want. And I really had to be certain if Stefan was okay.Then I laid down on the floor, waiting for him to charge at me. He laughed and came at me with full force. It was as if my heart was going to come out of my chest with the way it was beating fast.“I know you aren't a murderer.” I yelled, then he stopped in his tracks.“What do you mean?” He asked with a voice that sounded curious.“I believe you didn't kill the man. The world is cruel and dirty and I know that. That is the reason I understand you. And I have someone I need to be certain he is okay. Help me, so I won't end up dying without fulfilling all I have ever wished for.” I said, softly.Then he calmed down and made himself visible, then bent down to me, looking torn by my words. He was an handsome youn
MELISSA’S POV.“How’s that possible?” I asked, with my eyes, widened in shock.“You picked the wrong iced cream.” The third ghost said.“But you passed two tasks out of three, so you are now free to leave this world. Take the five coins you need for the wandering soul.” The first ghost said as he handed over the five coins to me.I collected it with so much joy in my heart and ran out of the ghost house, seeing as the third ghost seemed displeased with me. It wasn’t my fault, anyways as she was being too tricky. I was just grateful that I got lucky with the second task which looked both scary and proved difficult.I ran to the portal and there it was, wide open for me. The lady must have known that I was on my way. I jumped into the portal and when I got to the garden, I looked around for Stefan, but he was nowhere to be found and I became worried.“Hello? Anyone here?” I called out to whoever could be in the garden.There was no response and I got scared that I would have to continu
STEFAN'S POV.After we had a passionate sex, Melissa fell asleep soundly on the bed and I sat up, smiling. I was glad that there was finally progress between us and I was ready to make this continue to progress.Then my phone beeped and I checked it. It was a text message from an unknown number, which read:"Now that you are much better, let the game begin."This text message sounded ominous and I couldn't think of who exactly the person could be. It was certainly the attacker who sent this message to me, but having an unknown attacker is the worst, ever. I couldn't let Melissa know as I didn't want her to get worried at all.The next day, I had seen Melissa off, so she could get ready for work and after that, I prepared for work, too. On my way to work, I was still worried about the anonymous message I had gotten, until I got to work. As I got to my office, my secretary came in, with my schedule."Good morning sir. I'll list out your schedule, for today." He said as he opened the fi
