KIMBERLY’S POV“How am I going to be the bait?” I asked in fear.“You will have to lure him to the basement. When he sees you, he will be interested in killing you, so you will have to run to the basement. I will be there and would have prepared the binding spell.” She said calmly.I sighed and hoped that I was going to be successful in what I was about to do. I had to do all these to save Daniel.“Alright, I will prepare to do it tomorrow, so how am I going to let you know that I am ready?” “I will know when you are ready. I would have been in the basement before you lure him there.” She said, looking at me without blinking.~I headed back to the city and went straight to my apartment. The time that Mr. Collins agreed for us to stay off work was ending soon and I hoped that we would be able to save Daniel before that time. But another problem was how to apologize as we won’t spend much time here again. We would go back to our kingdom, so it won’t be possible to work for him again.
DANIEL’S POV“Kimberly?” I called out her name softly.“You are back? What are we doing here?” I asked as I looked around.I wondered why I was here and what we were both doing here. The last I recall, I was in the house, missing Kimberly. This place was unfamiliar to me and I didn’t recognize the old woman that was looking at me with no expression.Suddenly, my eyes became fuzzy and a flash happened in my head. It was a memory of meeting Kimberly in an alley and trying to defend her, but I ended up beaten. As I remembered that, a series of memories flashed before my eyes.This made me scream as the tingles and pain it brought with it were unbearable, then I passed out.~I woke up in a room that I didn’t recognize. But I could smell Kimberly’s scent. She was around somewhere. All the memories I had with her as a different person had come back to me and I understood all that had happened even without her explaining to me. The moon goddess had given me another chance to live.I jolted
KIMBERLY’S POVAfter all the trouble I had gone through, it was only to find out that the portal is closed. “What are we going to do at this point? The moon goddess has to be kidding us at this point.” Daniel said, with his hands on his waist.“I think we will have to go back to Rosa. She will know what to do. She is the only one I know here that knows about the supernatural as you would have noticed.” I suggested, feeling exhausted.“I hope she has a solution to our problem this time around.” He said and sighed, looking tired of everything.We went back to Rosa’s hut and she didn’t show any expression on her face as usual. I wondered what kind of woman she was and why she was this way.“Aren’t you surprised that we came back?” I asked out of curiosity.“Not really, because the string that is connecting both of us in this world has not been cut and that’s how I know that you have not left here. Why have you not left this world?” She asked, holding her staff firmly.“Well, the portal
KIMBERLY'S POVIn a snap of the first skeleton's finger, we were transported to a new place. It was surrounded by forests and there were mainly huts there."Now, where do we start from? It looks so quiet that I can barely hear heartbeats." I said, looking at how old the huts looked."Let's check them out," Daniel said, trying to be careful with each step he took.We moved closer to the huts and when we got there, we tried to enter the hut, but there was a web all over and it looked a bit dark inside."Hello," Daniel called out, searching with his eyes."There's no one there." He sighed, then we moved away from the hut."Are they playing tricks on us?" I said out frustratingly."Why does this place look empty? How on earth are we going to be able to get a pregnant woman when no one lives here!" I slammed my hand on my face.Apart from the huts here, there was still a pathway to an unknown place, but I didn't know if we could go there."I think we should go deeper. Probably this is just
KIMBERLY'S POVIn what seemed like half an hour, the pregnant woman came back with foodstuffs. Then she went straight to the little corner she used as her kitchen and then she placed the food items there and came back to us."I think we ought to have done the introduction thingy." She said, looking into our eyes."Oh! Forgive our manners. I am Kimberly and he is Daniel." I said, with a wide smile on my face. "Nice. I am Leah. So, I don't know what you guys may love to eat, so I bought a variety of things. What would you like to eat?" She tapped her hands on one of the chairs near us."No, it's fine. We are strangers here, we do not have a say in that. Give us anything you have, we'll appreciate it." Daniel said, with an awkward smile.I bet he was hoping it was something he would be able to eat. Leah smiled and went straight to her kitchen to cook and I followed her to offer help, but she didn't allow me to help her, so I went back to Daniel."Well, let's just allow her to do what sh
KIMBERLY'S POVWe were brought back to the ghost house and I was sweating, because I knew we had lost, but somewhere in me wished that it was just a test to see if we could kill an innocent child, but these skeletons were murderous as well. Why would they give us a test? It was certain that was what they wanted."Welcome back." The first skeleton said, with a frown."We couldn't do the task. We can't bring ourselves to kill an innocent child." Daniel said as he slammed his hand on his face."I see. And that's why you deprived me of my desire. Well, move to the next line. You have failed me, intentionally." He said, with a scary frown on his face.But Daniel didn't look like he gave a damn about the skeleton's reaction to what had happened. At least, Daniel's presence made everything a bit better. If I were the only one here, my heart would have been beating rapidly. I loved the way Daniel looked confident, with no fear on his face at all."So, welcome here. Without having to beat arou
KIMBERLY’S POVFear gripped me as I thought that we were finally doomed. Things weren’t working in our favor at all and this was eating away at my heart in the form of depression. Does it mean that we were going to be trapped in this ghost house?“So, are you ready to do it? Think about the advantage of leaving this place, because it seems like you need to get out.” The third skeleton said in an expression that seemed like if she had a tongue and a lip, she was going to be licking her lips right now.“What the hell? Why would I do that? This is about us leaving this place together, it’s not cool if we do not leave this place together.” Daniel fired at her clenching his fist.“At times, you have to be selfish. If you keep trying to act like a saint, you will lose a lot and there is a high chance that you will die without achieving a thing.” She admonished as she leaned towards us.What was she trying to do? Was she trying to convince Daniel to kill me? Now, this was making me scared, b
KIMBERLY’S POVI knew that we weren’t the only newbies around, but I listened to know what rules we were going to abide by.“Regarding the food, it is only in the morning that you will get the normal food you all eat and that would be based on survival of the fittest as you all would have to compete and we can only have twelve winners who would get the food. So, it means the rest would eat the juicy meal we prepare for them, which could be worms, maggots, centipedes, etc. All these would also be served in the afternoon and night…” ~The skeletons had explained to us all we needed to know and I must say, this place ought to be called the doom house and not the ghost house. So, it was time for the contest to begin and I hoped that Daniel and I would be among the lucky people to get the normal food.“So, this time, it is going to be a running contest and you’ll all be split into six groups and we would pick two winners from each group.” The first skeleton announced, staring at us all.T
KIMBERLY'S POVI turned back to him and pulled him in a tight hug."You have to let me go, Daniel, I can't stay here forever," I said moved to tears."Then stay for one more day. Just one more day and let's forget everything that's happening. Let me do all the things I wished to do with you." He said and I nodded because all I wanted to do was leave him smiling."Tell me all you want to do with me," I said and he led me to the Kitchen, took a note, and started to write.He wished to cook with me, braid my hair, he wished for us to tell stories late in the night, he wished for us to fly high in the sky together, he wished for us to sail on a boat, just the both of us, he wished to kiss me one more time, he wished to fall asleep in my arms.He continued to write but realized all those things would be hard to complete in one night then he stopped and looked at me."This would do." He said."How would we fly?" I asked and he smiled."There's a way." He said and we went to the back of the
DANIEL'S POVMy heart broke all over in a thousand pieces and I couldn't say a word. I knew it. I saw it coming. I already expected it but once more I was the one standing in the rain with no one to shield me from it. I knew Andre wouldn't let her go just like that, he would have let her know she was his Luna and that she had to stay.When she saw I couldn't form words, she spoke."I got back my memories. A friend helped me with it. I remember everything. I don't want you to be sad Daniel, I don't want it. I'm grateful for everything you've done for me and I wish I could repay you but nothing I do would ever be enough." She said and I nodded."You recall everything?" I asked and reasoned that could be the only explanation. She just would never stop loving Andre, there was no space for me in her heart.~I couldn't speak as memories of I and Kimberly flooded my mind. How had I come so far, how had I fallen in love with her to the point of no return? She was someone else's. How had I
KIMBERLY'S POVAndre kept on asking me what had happened but large tears formed in my eyes and dropped faster than rain.I remembered everything. Nothing was left out. I knew who I was, I knew who he was.Finally, I was back to him, Andre, I had loved and missed him for so long.I looked at him and touched his face, not believing he was right in front of me. Did he forgive me for leaving when he had told me not to? I couldn't believe I was back where I had always longed to be.He was the one I loved, Daniel was my friend. A friend I held dear to my heart. That was why I had been so confused without my memories. I and Daniel were thriving on friendly love. He knew I wouldn't return, and he had told me."Kimberly. Talk to me please." Andre said and I pulled him to me and hugged him tight."I loved you. All I wanted was for you to love me, I remember everything now, the ink from Bloom, it was so I could remember. Andre, I'm sorry for leaving, a lot of things happened, that was why I coul
KIMBERLY'S POV"What's the matter?" I heard Andre say and shook because I didn't even hear the door open nor did I expect him to walk in. "Um .. it's just ..." I said but didn't know how to explain it. He walked to me and took the bottle."This is no ordinary liquid." He said and looked at me."Bloom gave it to me, um, you might not know her.." I said but he raised his eyebrows."Bloom? Do not go near her. That witch's evil, she might be trying to get back at me with you because you might not know but I destroyed her Kingdom. So this is the danger she said you were bringing.""Who?" I asked and he smirked."Just an old lady." He replied and I stood up."She forgave you because I helped her get her necklace," I said and my eyes widened as he looked shocked."You helped her what??" He asked and I fell to the bed and stood immediately."We're friends," I said and he shook the ink bottle."I'm keeping this, get ready for the ball." He said and left the room. He wouldn't understand. There
ANDRE'S POVI smiled as I realized Kimberly wasn't going to leave the toilet till I left. It was amusing. I went to her mirror and looked in it, it was then I realized I hadn't been that happy in a long time when she left, there were so many horrible things I did to try to fill the hole that she had left in my heart and now that I looked back, those people didn't have to suffer. I left the room thinking of the previous night, it had been something I hadn't experienced in a long time. This put the smile back on my lips, she had become shier than before.As I walked to my quarters, I saw Maya hitting her head on my door, I raised a brow, she seemed to be drunk.I walked to her and stood behind her and it took a minute before she noticed me."Oh, it's Andre! My love!! The guy who broke my heart mercilessly and was able to wander around having a romance with another lady. " She said and placed her hands on my chest looking at me completely drunk."Is that why you've been at my door? You
KIMBERLY'S POV"What's that?" Andre asked and I looked back at him and shook my head but the moment I looked back, there was just an old dark tree with bent branches.I sighed. There was nothing. It was just my mind playing pranks on me. Then I saw the flowers, those pretty flowers that I had seen Andre give me in my memory. Then I looked beside me and my mind made it so vivid it was as though me of that day was staring at those flowers with me and Andre came to my side."The flowers you loved." He said and went deeper into the garden and plucked them for me.Then I remembered everything about that day, I had been feeling sad but happened to chance on the flowers and Andre happened to give it to me."Here." He said putting some in my hair and I looked at him. He made everything feel so real like I was really in love with him."Why are you staring at me?" He asked as he looked at me with a smile.I shook my head slowly."Just recalling something," I said.~We walked hand in hand to di
KIMBERLY'S POVI hadn't even made it past the Luna's quarters when I saw him coming through the double doors looking at me and I looked at all the maids stationed there who looked away.How did they do it? How did they send word to him without saying a word here?He walked to me and turned me around."I'm leaving!" I said but he pushed me back the way I came."Save the drama for the four walls. Not with the eyes and ears all around." He said in a low voice."Oh really is there a place in this Palace where you don't know what's going on?" I asked in anger but he pushed me inside my room and locked the door. "There isn't." He said briefly and looked at the things I had packed. "I thought we agreed on staying till you regained your memory." He said and I looked at him straight in the eye."I simply decided I didn't want to stay with a liar," I said and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath."You have to explain yourself well." He said leaning against the door."Just moments ago, I
ANDRE'S POVI didn't think she thought she was going to leave just like that.If only she knew how I almost went crazy just searching for her and waiting for her, she wouldn't say she was leaving and where was she going to that was so important than staying here at my Kingdom with me. She was my Luna."You are my Luna., I told her and she replied sharply."I am not your Luna." She said and it got me shocked."You just do not remember, you are mine., I said and she shook her head and walked away.I didn't want things to start this way, I had tried my best for things to go smoothly, I didn't want a fight, and I didn't want it to be like before where I wasn't able to say how I felt, I wanted this time to be different, I wanted a new beginning but what was she saying?Was she given to some other Alpha? What was the note she received?"Kimberly." I called and went after her. She turned and looked at me. "Let's do it this way. At least till your memory returns, do not leave." I said and s
KIMBERLY'S POVThe footsteps didn't stop and I immediately went to the curtains and pulled them apart giving the room a little light I saw a pretty lady who stopped and raised an eyebrow."Really Kimberly. I shouldn't have underestimated you, you sure have a lot of things up your sleeve. How could you imagine something so sweet as losing your memory? So you'd escape disobeying him? Running away?" She asked and I took in her words.I had disobeyed Andre, I had run away. It only made sense. I didn't love him. The person I loved was Daniel. Andre had been lying."I truly lost my memory. Who are you?" I asked and she laughed out loud."Who am I? That's quite hilarious. So you came for your child but forgot the person that was with you all the times you were pregnant when? Nice. Nice indeed. Why did you return? I thought you were living fine. Why did you suddenly return after all these years?" She asked me and I looked at her and knew she was one of those jealous people that always seemed
