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
DANIEL’S POVThe ridiculous contests they made us do, showed how dangerous this place was. Hearing that, I knew Kimberly would be worried as she had been losing most of the contests and was probably not even certain that she would win this one, either.“The contest is about to start now, so be prepared, because we can pick anyone from anywhere.” The first skeleton announced, looking excited to watch the death of people.The contest started and people were picked one by one and some people won and those who lost were shot dead, immediately. When it was my turn, I exhaled to relieve my tensed muscles. It was because death was the consequence of those who lose and that was the reason I was a bit tense because this isn’t something we can be unserious with as even our unseriousness could cost our lives. When the third skeleton kicked the ball towards me, I focused on the ball, with its unbelievably fast speed towards me. At first, it seemed as i
KIMBERLY’S POVI was bored and just wanted to relate with one of the neighbors who always attend the gatherings we have. “I want to see one of the neighbors today. I just do not want to stay indoors most of the time.” I said as I packed my hair into a messy bun.“I understand. It is also nice to socialize.” He replied, with a slight smile on his face.“Alright, bye then.”I visited a neighbor and her name was Lori I always enjoyed her presence whenever we all gathered. “Hi. I hope I am not biting out of your siesta?” “Of course not. You are highly welcome. I can see you are a lucky woman to have Daniel by your side.” She said, with a teasing smile.I only smiled, because I didn’t even know what to say to that.“So, where did you guys come from?” She asked, sitting up properly.~We had talked for a while and I felt it was time I went to rest, although, I had a nice time. “I think it’s time for me to go,” I said as I stood up.“Alright. See ya.”I left her room and walked down to m
KIMBERLY’S POVBritney and I had talked for a long while and I must say, I was beginning to sympathize with her. Although, I wondered why such a nice girl would have such a rude whore of a sister.Then I looked down as I smiled at one of her compliments and that was when I saw her wrist, looking like it was decaying and that look rang a bell. Suddenly, I matched it to one of the scary creatures that do serve us food and I was right.I gasped in shock and quickly ran towards our room, to be certain Daniel was fine and when I got there, I saw Katherine trying to seduce Daniel again and then I rushed in and pushed her away in anger.“Stay away, you ugly creatures!” I screamed at her as I stared at her sharply.“What the hell do you mean?” She asked, angrily as she stood up.“What’s going on, Kimberly?” Daniel asked, looking confused.“She is that creature that does serve us worms and other slimy things,” I said, pointing my finger at her.“What!” He exclaimed as he looked at her.“How da
KIMBERLY’S POVI felt excited at what she had just said. It was such a relief and joy that someone had decided to mobilize us to break out and the best thing was that she knew a lot about the skeletons and how things work here.“What do you say to it, guys?” The lady asked, looking at us all confidently.“I think we all are ready to be free from this bondage, even without you asking.” Someone said, giving us an expression that demanded our confirmation.Others began to nod and Daniel and I joined them as well. “So, what is the first step we take towards this?” Daniel asked out of curiosity.“That’s a good question. There is a ghost tube, located underground and that is what will transport us back to the place we have in mind. But one thing about this tube is that you have to be able to bear the illusions that will come to you. Once you can conquer, you will be transferred safely to where you have in mind.” She said, looking at us.Sweat broke out and I was uncomfortable with how she
DANIEL’S POVWe were ready to go into the ghost tube and to be honest, I feared for Kimberly because I knew that she usually found it hard to surf her way through difficult times like this. She was strong, but she had not discovered it yet and that was dangerous for a werewolf.I also hoped that I would be able to conquer whatever the illusion brings to me and I kept reminding myself that anything that happens there is not real. I just needed to wield through. I hid the fear that could have shown in my expression so that Kimberly wouldn’t feel fear as well.“Remember this, none of the things you’ll see or face there is real,” I said to her as I held her hand warmly.“Okay, I will try my best.” She replied, trying to look hard.“I think it is time we all enter our ghost tube. I will be the last to go, so that if anyone of you is having problems in entering or how to stay put, I will be there to lecture you.” The lady who enforced us all, said.She was a really good leader and it shows
DANIEL'S POV.As I heard her voice, I felt sick with worry and disbelief.What was she doing there? Had the giant captured her too?How were the both of us going to escape? I was so scared something was going to happen to these of us.I looked around for any sight of her."Daniel!" She called again and I turned and saw her running towards me. I turned to run totowarder to stop her from coming closer.The Giant laughed out loud as he could probably sense she was my weak spot.As I ran, she smiled and held her arms out to me and that was when I stopped. I stopped as the fact that everything in here, was an illusion, suddenly rang clear in my head.She also stopped and I watched as her smile ran down immediately and she looked hurt. Probably because I wasn't running to her."Daniel. What's wrong? Is anything wrong?" She asked as she began to walk towards me."You can't fool me anymore, I know that this is all an illusion. None of this is real and you also are not real." I said and Kimber
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
