My eyelids felt heavy as I opened them. The brightness of the room attacked them and I shut them back again. After some time, I opened my eyes once more and looked around.

It took me almost a minute to figure out where I was. The drip fixed in my hand and the clothes I was putting on, made me realize I was at the hospital.

It was then I remembered I had fainted. The door to the ward opened and Rebecca walked in. She looked drained. It wasn't hard to tell from the dark circles that had formed under her eyes and how she had suddenly aged overnight. I instantly felt bad for her. This was the reason I didn't tell her about the nosebleed that morning

“My God Mirabel, you are awake. I was so worried about you”. I watched as tears gathered in her eyes. "Are you alright now?”

Apart from the throbbing pain I felt in my head, I was doing perfectly well.

"I'm fine mum” I tried to speak without groaning in pain because the pain I felt was excruciating.

  • The Other Half Of Me     A blood sucking beast

    Kira's POVI found it hard to believe when he blurted out the words. “I am a vampire, Lindsay. A blood-sucking beast" I kept quiet for a while. I had no idea those things even existed. I heard they were extinct.His eyes were different as he looked at me. It was softer and remorseful like he had done something very terrible. I wasn't even judging him. I was just stunned that they existed. I had met werewolves, witches, and wizards, but I had never met or seen a vampire. No wonder I found it very hard to decipher him. He was like a closed door I couldn't find the keys to. “You don't have to say anything," he added when he realized how much I struggled with that information. “Now you know I am not good for you"“What is that supposed to mean?"“We are more like animals Mirabel. We feed on blood and we can't control it" “You told me they don't exist" I finally found my words and that was the first question I could ask.“Did you expect me to spill out such a huge secret like that?"“I

  • The Other Half Of Me    Too hard on her

    Austin's POV.It was hard to take lectures and at the same time, think hard about something else. The news was everywhere. A girl passed out in the foyer. That girl was Mirabel and I couldn't stop thinking about her.I wanted to see her but I was drawn between staying and not going because I didn't want her to get the wrong idea. And actually going to know how she was feeling.“Are you even listening?" Derek asked, snapping me back from my thoughts“The lecturer is teaching, why the fuck would I listen to you?"“You are not listening to any of us"I sighed "True. “What's the problem?"“I feel suffocated. I'm leaving" I couldn't stand it anymore. I was going to go and see her. I pretty much damned all the consequences.I left class and so did Derek. I could hear his footsteps behind me, running to meet my fast strides.“Okay what was that all about?" he asked.“If you weren't so sure, why did you come with me?"“I was curious and that class is boring as hell. Talking to you was an esc

    Ken's POVI thought I had had enough that day until I came back home and found Bella sitting on my couch. She knew the perfect way of getting on my nerves. The exhausting part was how good she was at it.“Bella how the fuck did you get in?"“Marcus is back" She stood up from the couch she was comfortably sitting on and walked towards me.“That doesn't answer my question” I kept a stern look on my face as I addressed her.“Are you kidding me? Our major problem is in LA and you are worried about me getting into your apartment?"I pointed my index finger at her. “You led him right to us"“How is this my fault?"“The order was simple. Stay in Ohio. you just had to show up here" I snapped at her and she rolled her eyes at me.“It's crazy down there. I needed a break from everything. I wanted to come back”“And you decided to bring Marcus along with you?"She glared at me."You know I won't purposely do something like that. Marcus is just smart as hell. I didn't even know he was in Ohio. May

  • The Other Half Of Me    Marcus' selfish purpose

    Kira's POVI watched as Rebecca's lips curved into a smile. I didn't know what the amusement was all about until she parted her lips and announced. “The doctor said you are free to go"“So soon? I thought he said I needed to stay for another week or so?"“Well apparently, the nurse ran some tests and realized nothing is wrong with you after all"I was taken aback. No wonder I haven't been feeling any pain in my head lately. But how was that possible? It felt too good to be reality. Then I remembered Ken and his promise to heal me. But he didn't even do anything. We talked throughout his stay with me. Not that I was expecting him to lay his hand on my head like a pastor or something. I just didn't see him do anything.“This is great news. So I am not dying after all" I squealed and Rebecca frowned at me."You weren't dying. The doctor just said you should slow down the stress and all”“That's great, so when am I leaving"?“The doctor should be here any moment from now. They did say I s

  • The Other Half Of Me    Christine might be missing

    Kira's POV.“Hey Kira, you are back?" Phoebe jogged to where I was while I walked to class.“Yeah. I got home from the hospital yesterday" I replied bluntly.“Aren't you supposed to be resting?"“Well I am fine apparently, so I don't need that"“Sure," she smiled. “Have you seen Christine recently? She didn't show up for class"“She didn't?"“No, and she's with one of my books. I need to get it back"“It's alright, I'd just call her"“Yeah, thanks. Just tell her to bring it over to my house. Right now, I've gotta run" She tapped me on the shoulder and walked away hastily.Something wasn't right. Christine wasn't the type to miss class and I had been calling her since her date night with Xavier, she didn't pick any of my calls.I tried calling her again, hoping she would take my call, but she didn't. Now I knew something was up. The only person that had the answers to my questions was Xavier.I turned away from where I was going and began my search for Xavier. I searched basically ever

    Ken's POV.“What's this I'm hearing about you and Christine?" I asked Xavier.He sighed as he leaned back on the couch. “Mirabel told you I took her?"“Of course she did. Did you?"“What am I supposed to do with her? She left my house that night. I have nothing to do with her disappearance"“And I don't get what sort of funny relationship you are having with her. You are the one who's always concerned about the balance of nature. Why are you messing around with a human?"“She's just a fling. But we both know whatever's going on between you and Mirabel is more than that"“Of course it is. I don't see her as a fling”"“That's not the point"“Well keep your opinions to yourself" I warned him. And he stopped talking" I met with Marcus” I blurted out and watched as Xavier's eyes widened in shock."What did he do?”"Nothing. Turns out, he isn't here for us. He is here to start up an army”"What?“ Xavier asked, staring at me in disbelief. "How does he intend to do that?”"Turn as many peopl

    Christine's POVI groaned as I opened my eyes. I had expected to see myself in the same dark place I was in before but this time, I was in a different place entirely. It was just a regular room with proper lighting and a comfortable bed.My mouth felt dry and I felt great thirst. I didn't know why I felt like that. I stood up from the bed with great force. The urge was too strong. I felt thirsty but I didn't want water. I wanted something else, but didn't know what. It felt like I was going insane.I rushed to the door to get out of the room. The room felt hot all of a sudden. I grabbed the doorknob to open the door, but I found it was locked. I almost lost my mind.“Ahhhh" I screamed as I dragged the door handle, trying to force the door open, but it wasn't budging.“let me out!!” I yelled out as I banged my fist hard on the door. The surprising thing was how my hands didn't hurt no matter how hard I hit the door.I groaned in frustration when the door didn't open. I was losing my mi

  • The Other Half Of Me    Christine's sudden change

    Kira's POV.Christine was back and I knew that because I was staring at her seated comfortably in class as she looked at the lecturer with keen interest. She didn't give me a call that she had gotten back. She didn't even step out of her locked room when I visited her house. Something was most definitely not right. Since she got back from God knows where, she had been ghosting me like I didn't matter. She attended classes every day, but I hardly got the chance to speak with her because before the class gets over, she would leave the class as fast as possible. I asked myself; was she hiding from me or was she avoiding me? I had done absolutely nothing wrong, so there was no need for that. I had had enough. I was going to speak with her and it was either she punched me in the face or she tells me what is wrong. I waited for the class to be over and I rushed outside, waiting for her yoShe was surely going to get out of the class and she was going to tell me the reason for the childishn

    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

  • The Other Half Of Me    Was I being selfish?

    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
