It was only a miracle that I was able to run without getting pulled back. Maybe he spared me. But he wouldn't let me go if he wanted to get free. Was he giving me time to think about it or was he going to torture me until I finally gave in? The fear that took hold of me at that point was so much that even after I had successfully made it to my house, I was still trembling in fear. My phone was nowhere to be found. I had tossed it during the process of running away from the horror I had experienced earlier. “Mirabel have you…” before my mum could say what she wanted, I had already shut the door. I needed time to breathe and talking to her was going to further get me exhausted. What the fuck happened? I finally had the time to ask myself. I slipped to the floor as I rummaged my hand through my hair. Christine was the cause of this. I was trying to get her free and now Fredrick had noticed me. What was he going to do with me, punish me for defying his order? I knew he was powerful even
“Ken, where are you?” I asked inwardly as beads of sweat gathered on my forehead. It had been exactly 3 hours since he said he was going to be here, yet he was nowhere to be found. I kept tossing continually on my bed, trying to get sleep, but it was too far from me. I hadn’t heard Frederick’s voice for over an hour, but I was certainly still scared. At intervals, I glanced at my window to see if he was lurking around, but no. If he didn’t show up, my night was going to be ruined because I was certainly not going to get any sleep that night. He had earlier told me not to get Austin involved, but at that point, I was so desperate to even think. I took my phone that I had kept beside my bed. With my shaking sweating hands, I dialed his number and placed it on my ear as I nervously bit my bottom lips. “Austin” I yelled due to how nervous I was. There was noise in the background, so I was certain he wasn’t home. “Mirabel” he sounded surprised. Indeed calling him was one of the last th
I panicked while Ken drove at an insane speed. Poor Austin, he must probably think I was getting kidnapped. I wanted Ken to stop so that I could assure him I was okay. “Ken stop this madness” I called out. “I need to let him know that I am okay,” I said. “You can let him know some other time,” he said with determination as he kept on driving. “You know he isn’t going to stop following us. He probably thinks I’m getting kidnapped or something. Ken stop the car now I thought he was still going to prove stubborn and not stop the car, but to my astonishment, he stopped the car, but he didn’t for once look at me. “Mirabel if you leave this car, please don’t come back. Let him be the one to get you help” I scoffed. What the fuck did he mean by that. “Ken that’s petty and you know that” “No Mirabel I am being realistic. For you to call him, it means you have more trust in him than you do in me. What I asked for was a little faith in me, Mirabel. A little goddamn faith yet you called h
I was in a state of ecstasy, but it was cut short when I felt a sharp pain in my head. I groaned in pain as I bowed my head, holding my head with two hands .“Mirabel” Austin called out, but I didn’t pay attention to him. The pain in my head was too severe for me to even do that. It felt liked there was something on the inside, tearing apart every vessel present there. It went on for a while, but it eventually stopped. I brought my hand which I had placed on both side of me ear and I gasped. Blood! Austin stared at with eyes wide open due to shock. My heart went into a state of turmoil. What the fuck was happening to me.? I wasn’t even hearing his voice anymore. Yet he found a way to torture me. How long was it going to go on and what if he was immune to the vervain since he was dead after all? I knew Austin wasn’t sure if it was going to work. He just wanted to try out couple of things to help me and if it didn’t work, I was forever screwed. “It’s him again” I said with a lot of fea
KEN’S POV I tossed the phone to my hand to the wall, but that didn’t succeed in taking the anger I felt away. Maybe I shouldn’t have pushed her. It was an undying urge for absolute possession that made me make her choose. I regretted it especially when it was clear that she wanted him more than she wanted me. If I didn’t pull up that act, she would have been with me. But it was for the best. At least I knew I was all alone. It was what I had always wanted from the start right? Fuck no. I was concerned about her safety, but deep down I wanted her. I wanted to hold her and never let her go, but she couldn’t be mine because she was already his. I plopped down on the couch closest to me as I stared at my empty house. It was just as empty as my heart. How did I have to be so unfortunate? She was a girl I loved, but she just hard to have two mates. I knew the moon goddess hated me, but I had no idea it was too this extent. Was it because I was a hybrid for fuck sake. While I was still in
KIRA’S POVI wasn’t okay with the arrangement because I had little trust for Eliot. He didn’t seem trustworthy to me and the way he occasionally stared at me made me sick to the stomach. When we were finally done and had gotten the Vervain, I was more than happy to tell him goodbye.“How am I supposed to apply it?” I stared at the container in my hand. It had the powder in it. Austin took it from my hand as he examined it too.“I’ve never worked with vervain before”“And you are certain it’s going to do the job?” I asked.“Vampires don’t want go anywhere near it”“I thought it’s only harmful if they ingest it?” I asked and he scoffed.“And how would you know that?” he asked. I wasn’t sure. I just said what I felt made sense.“What?” I scowled at him “You made your assumptions too” I defended myself.“Would you at least try it out to see if it would work or would you rather prefer if Frederick continues using you as his test subject?” he asked and I sighed. I might as well try if at al
Kira’s POV “Where am I?” I asked myself as I stared around the gloom. It was dark, really dark. I looked around where I as sat and I saw nobody. Quickly, I stood up from where I was, still staring around. How did I even get here? Where was I before this? I asked myself too, but I didn’t know the answer to that.All of a sudden a light shone at a spot, just that spot. I was confused and scared. I didn’t know if I was supposed to follow the light or stay where i was .I didn’t budge. I chose to stay where I was and that seemed to have annoyed someone. “Move it” I heard the voice loud and clear. It held too much power. It wasn’t in the usual whisper which it normally was.Shakily, I walked towards the light slowly with my bare feet hard on the cold ground. I stood right under the light_ the light source I knew nothing about.Beads of sweat gathered on my forehead and they slipped to my face down to my neck and then to the white dress I was wearing. ““What do you want?” I asked in a sh
Kira’s POV I flipped through the pages of the book, searching for a spell to bring back the dead. I knew it was highly unlikely for it to be as simple as that, but I had to at least try the only way I knew. After searching every page of the book. Thoroughly and precisely, I found NOTHING. There was nothing about raising someone from the dead. I was officially fucked. How was I supposed to go on with it? I tossed the aside and plopped down on my bed. This wasn’t working. What did Frederick expect me to do? Maybe if I slept, he was going to tell me what to do in my dreams. I breathed out sharply. I was already tired so sleeping wasn’t a problem. As I drifted, the door opened forcefully and I jumped up from the bed immediately. My heart calmed down a bit when I realized it was just mum. I needed to let go of the mentality that Frederick was going to come out from nowhere. He was dead and couldn’t hurt me as long as I was awake “Mum” I groaned as I lay back down on the bed. “You almos
FinaleThe next morning I woke up to a text from Christine that read; “come online” I still had a lot of sleep in my eyes, but when I was able to check why she told me to come online, the sleep left my eyes. It felt as though I was dreaming, but I wasn’t. Behold, behind my screen was my older self and there was a caption that said missing.What the actual fuck? I asked myself. The last time I checked, I didn’t exist anymore, so there was no was no way someone who didn’t exist was declared missing.I called Christine again because it wasn’t adding at all. The worse thing was, it was all over the internet. They said I had been missing for 6 months and that was the duration in which I had lived in my new body.“Did you see the girl? Remember her right? She asked even before I had the chance to and that only succeeded in adding to my confusion.“Remember? Christine you were the one who said you didn’t know this girl” I remembered vividly when I asked her the first time I happened to find
The other half of me My leg was placed on the edge of the window, ready to jump out when I heard a beep from my phone and I stopped. I brought it out from where I kept it firmly in my pockets and answered the call. it was from Christine. “Mirabel” she called out the moment I answered the call. “ken is awake,” she said and my heart skipped a beat. What the fuck did she say. How was that even possible? I asked myself. Well, there was only one way for me to find out. I ended the call and was about to jump down from my window once more when the door to my room suddenly opened. My mind jumped out of my body, but it calmed down when I realize it was just Rebecca, but it picked up pace when I realize I was about to do something that she had warned me not to do. “what are you doing?” she asked and I knew it was already late. If I wanted to see ken, I had to make up my mind to go against her. “I’m sorry mum,” I said and jumped down and landed perfectly from a building as high as that with
Kira’s POV“I have to tell you something” I said to Christine, but didn’t realize I was yelling. She almost choked on the cigarette between her lips.“What the fuck Kira” she frowned at me, but I didn’t care. I was desperate at that point.“I need to tell you something” I repeated like she hadn’t heard me the first time. How desperate was I. but why I wouldn’t when I got the news of me leaving this body? I needed to let her know incise me bumped into her in my next life, she wouldn’t see me as a freak.I looked around to see if there was anyone lurking around because I was most definitely going to be called a freak if they heard what I was about to say. I was certain Christine was going to think of me the same way, but I had to tell her.“I am right here” the frown on her face hardened and I had to mutter a little sorry to make her be less mad at me for almost killing her seconds ago.“I am living this body” I said in the lowest tone possible” I said, but the look on her face didn’t c
Chapter 100I boiled in rage as I ran to where Xavier was. He could hear me calling but he chose to play deaf and pretend I was important at all and it pissed me off.I tapped him hard on the shoulder when I got to where he was and he turned to look at me in frustration. “Don’t you dare look at me like that? I am the one who has the right to be angry” I said and he rolled his eyes at me as though I was the one who had the problem. He was the one trying to take my mate away from me.“you can't tell me how to look at you” he shot at me. true, but there was countless way he didn’t have to act like a jerk. Why did he have to be so mean all the time, like I was the cause of his many problems?Where are you taking ken to?” I asked he replied plainly and tried to walk inside the car, but I stopped him by holding his hand. He turned to look at me with a lot of disgust in his eyes.“do you seem to realize you have no right to be a part of his life anymore,e,” he said and I scoffed.What
Chapter 99 “hey you” my feet went as fast as they could at the sight of the witch. I totally forgot I had to follow Christine home at the sight of her and I started chasing after her instead. The sound of shuffling footsteps gave me the clue that Christine was just behind me running as well. “Hey!” I knew she could hear me because she wasn’t deaf and had no earphone plugged in, but she kept walking as though she didn’t know I was talking to her. Why did she have to be a bitch all the time_ the kind that knew the perfect way to get me mad I increased my speed and surprisingly that bitch increased her speed? Before I knew it, she was running and I knew I would be damned if I let her run off like that. I and Christine also increased our speed. “Hey stop!” I yelled. It would have been better if I at least knew her name, but I didn’t and that made it weird for me. She kept running until she got into the school female’s toilet and she ran in. “what the actual fuck” said Christine who w
Chapter 98I didn’t sleep a wink at night. Apart from the fact I was angry at the witch for playing with me the previous day. I couldn’t also sleep due to the strong migraine I developed due the beating I received from Bella. I shouldn’t have concluded that I was any match for her.“Oh my God what happened to your face?” I heard a voice and I turned to look at Christine. I had no idea I had walked past her. My mind was only fixed on one person and that was the witch who I didn’t know her name.And yes, I had forgotten to put makeup on my face because I didn’t see the point. Life was almost meaningless because ken wasn’t there.“I got into a fight” I could tell from how her eyes widened that she was surprised. Yes I wasn’t the type to get into a fight, but with the overwhelming frustration and unvented anger, it was hard not lose my mind over a slight provocation.“What the actual fuck” she let out.“Ken’s sister” I let out a distressed air. “That bitch thinks I am the reason he didn’t
Chapter 97Bella’s POVIt was hours since I woke up and I hadn’t moved an inch from my bed. Life made no sense to me anymore. It felt as though I should lay in my bed forever and wallow in my misery for eternity. Maybe that way, I will be closer to my brother who was not awake anymore. I tossed to the other side of my bed as I heard a buzz from my phone. It was no doubt from Xavier. He was probably calling to check if I was still breathing.I ignored the text at first but when I became too much, I groaned in frustration as I tossed to pick it up. “Bella for fuck sake, if you won’t take my call, at least reply my text” he said and I rolled my eyes. Did he expect me to be okay when I had a brother that was prone to be lifeless for almost 20 years or even more?The moment I tossed my phone to the bed in anger, I heard it ring by my side. “Fuck you Xavier” I groaned in frustration, but didn’t ignore the call this time. I knew he was going to keep calling me until I finally took the call,
Chapter 96I turned to leave but he didn’t let me. He pulled me back to look at him. At that point, my cheeks where soaked in tears. I didn’t wipe it off before the sped he used to pull me back deterred me from doing so. His eyes softened the more when he noticed I was crying.“Do you realize how worried I was about you” he asked and I just sobbed. Not caring if we were being stared at. “I went to your house several times and your mother wouldn’t even let me see you”I placed my hand on my head as I sighed. Poor woman. She must have gone through a lot. Now I was planning of leaving her again. No wonder there was a lot of hurt in her eyes as she yelled at me. “She was just scared” I blurted out.“So where did you go Mirabel” he asked more worriedly because I wouldn’t give him a reply.“Can we talk outside instead? I am not comfortable with these stares” I said and I noticed how reluctant he was. Almost as though he didn’t trust me enough to stay put and have a conversation with him out
Kira’s pov“I am not coming to your boyfriend’s house” I made it clear to Christine over the phone.“Jace is not my boyfriend” she defended herself.“Oh that’s his name. Well whatever he is to you, I am not coming to that house” I said with all seriousness, but she ended up chuckling. It wasn’t as though I hated him. He just had a way of making me feel so uncomfortable. His eyes held a lot of hatred each time he gave up at me and I couldn’t help but wonder why Christine saving me pissed him off so much.“He is not home and he not coming back anytime soon, so you have nothing to worry about” she assured him.“I am not just not comfortable with him around” I said truthfully.“He is not always like this, inside he is just a cute bunny” she said and I rolled my eyes.“I knew you’d say something like that. Anyway imp almost there”“Alright” she hung up the call.After about 5 minutes, I was already at Christine’s house. I packed my car by the road side and made it across the street.Standi
