In a dark room, someone is sitting on a swivel chair. He smirked as the phone beside him reported what happened.'Yes, boss, we shoot the propofol to Mendes. He is now unconscious.' (Propofol is the most commonly used IV general anesthetic. In lower doses, it induces sleep while allowing a patient to continue breathing on their own.) "I didn't know that Kianna would be there too. What a great chance to kill them." His smirk is turning scarier."But... That is no good. I shouldn't kill them yet." His tone suddenly changed. It's as if he has a new personality in him.(Dissociative identity disorder is previously known as multiple personality disorder. It is thought to be a complex psychological condition that is likely caused by many factors, including severe trauma during early childhood. usually extreme, repetitive physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.) "Yeah, that won't be good. I should trick Francis more and then see Kianna go miserable. Fufu..." His smiling face turned into an
"Kianna, I feel like someone is following us," Ysekiel whispered in her best friend's ears. They are on their way back to the exit of the forest. Kianna knew for sure that something seemed wrong. Maybe their timing is bad. "Keep it cool. Don't act as if you know their presence." Kianna tried to keep her cool. To analyze the things and check how to escape from them. "Why do things always turn like this to you? Ahh, my heart is beating fast. Kianna, are they a dangerous person? Will they kill us?" Worried, Ysekiel asked as she tried not to look back to avoid any unnecessary action or problem that may arise. "Seki, remember the thing that I gave you before we entered the forest?" Kianna whispered loud enough for Ysekiel to hear. "You mean the ballpoint pen-like gadget?" she asked. Flashback "Here, hold this." Kianna put the pen-like thing in her best friend's hand. Ysekiel is confused about why Kianna suddenly gave her a pen. They are heading inside the forest, not a classroom th
Drake was surprised to see Francis reveal himself. He didn't expect this to happen. With a worried face, he looks at Kianna. He knew that the very moment he looked into Kianna's eye, pain and sadness would creep into his face. He may try to hide it, but someone will see it and realize it the moment their eyes meet him. All this time, he tried his best to show Kianna how much he loved her. How true his feelings are for her. Yet, one can't deny the fact that sometimes showing your love to someone isn't enough for them to love you back. Even if you shout it on top of the world, if she doesn't love you, she doesn't. The moment their eyes met, Drake couldn't help but have teary eyes. He snickers, as he can't help but have a smirk on his face. ''What?! '' Kianna asked jokingly. She smiled as she fixed her eyes on Drake. Not wanting to have any gaze in Francis's direction. Her smile is carved into Drake's mind. It's as if her eyes are telling him not to worry about it. It's as if her
"What?! You encountered an incident in the forest?!" Scott can't help but scold Kianna. She was sitting in the living room while eating a cup of strawberry ice cream. The reason why Scott is there is because his uncle called him and Patrish but for some important matter, Patrish can't go with them. So, Scott is the one who was left in charge to scold Kianna and give her a piece of words that she'll probably not put in her mind. "I don't know why I'm even doing this. Ahh, I gave up." He raises both of his hands while his face is covered with dismay. Scott is well aware that he can do nothing about how stubborn his cousin is. Sitting in the empty seat beside her, Kianna offered him ice cream. Looking at it for a second, he grab it and took a spoonful before giving it back to Kianna. "Ahh, what is that?! It tastes like medicine. Ghrr," "You hate medicine? No wonder you change your course after a year in studying medicine." He drinks a cup of water placed on the table and as soon a
"What a luck. First, I met Mazie, and now Drake is not there. It is my first time looking for him of my own accord, and yet... Maybe fate is playing fun at me." Kianna decided to go to the pet shop that her friend Ryuu is handling. She had already submitted the paperwork she finished and was now waiting for the response to the proposal she passed. The chimes hanging at the front of the door were heard as she entered the pet shop. ''Ryuuuuuuuuuu! '' She shouts, calling her friends names. ''Kia?? Wah, it really is you. Hello! Have a seat here.'' ''Thanks, Ryuu,'' ''Is that Thoma? '' ''Yup, he grew up so fast. Bet, Granma, and Granpa fed him tons of food. Pfft.'' ''Hello, Thoma Thoma. How are you? Good boy, good boy.'' Talking with Kianna's dog as if he were a little baby, Kianna giggles at the sight she is seeing. A faint sound of feet landing on the ground was heard. It came from the upper corner of the wall. ''Meow'' A cat with white fur and deep blue eyes showed itself and p
"Why are you here?" "You shouldn't ask questions while knowing someone is following you." Francis said it with an annoyed look. "What are you talking about?" Kianna asked as she calmed down her dog, who was barking in a direction that contrasted with where Francis was. "Can't you see? Someone has been looking in your direction for so long." "Just what the hell are you talking about?" He grabbed Kianna's hand, and that didn't make Thom bark. Kianna wants to say that Drake is on his way to get her, but she heard some noise on the dark side of the sidewalk. She remembers the feeling she had when she first met Nikolai in front of Ysekiel's family's restaurant. That very same gaze that she didn't mind before. Who is the owner of that? She has no idea, but one thing she is sure of is that, no matter what happens, she must find out who that person is. Her heart is beating faster, giving her strength to be released into Francis's hands. She runs as fast as she can to see who is follow
"What?" Drake asked, as the words written on the screen were incomplete and had become codes. He shook his head in displeasure. 'Maybe I shouldn't have slept for an hour. Who knows? By now, Kianna's words wouldn't be like this. Ahh, I only knew this time would come...' It looks like it isn't time yet. "Kianna, what do you mean by that?" Drake asked Kianna about what she meant by those words. He was curious about what Kianna had said. ''You think you like who? " Kianna's face turned red as she heard what Drake said. "Nothing. Whose fault is it for not doing their best with this item? Maybe you should do better next time." She knew very well that Drake was doing his best in everything he can and that he gives his time and effort to do the things he wanted to accomplish. Even so, she can still see the efforts that Drake makes every time she needs his help. He always finds time to help Kianna, even if he knows that his hand is full of work. She thinks of how she expressed her grat
It was late at night already. They didn't notice this since they were busy having fun with each other. It looks like both of their plates are empty and clean. The steak that Drake prepared is already in their stomachs. "Wahh, that was a fine dinner." Kianna compliments the food that Drake prepared. "Next time, can you prepare dumplings? You know, the ones that can be sold in Japan. I heard it's Japanese cuisine. They have fluffy meat inside and their outside is crunchy, and... hmm, I like that." Drake smiled not because she complimented his food but because she said, 'Next time'. Knowing that she looked forward to that moment, he was delighted. Kianna notices it and giggles as she asks him. "What, why are you smiling? Is there something funny?" He shook his head and laughed. "It's nothing. I'm just happy." "Hello, about what? Would you mind sharing it with me? "I'm happy because I'm with you." Their sweetness was interfered with by a phone call. They look at where it came fro
The television turned off as Drake pushed the power button and put down the remote. “The food is ready! ” "Yes, love, I’m coming. Woah, that smells nice.” “See? I told you I could cook a dish, but... It is nothing compared to what your food tastes like.” The delicious aroma of my recipe filled the air. “I will still find your food the most delicious among anything else.” Drake hugs me from the back as I turn off the stove. Yes, I am now living with him. “You know what? We should celebrate." He mumbled and whispered it into my ears. "Yes, everything goes according to our plan.” “It was you who thought of it; that is why it is effective. “ “But it wouldn’t work without you, Drake," he said, brushing his nose into my cheeks. He is still courting me, and I am planning to answer him the exact same day as I answered him back then. I hope he proposes to me the same day he did before. Isn’t it amazing and wonderful that it did happen? The plan I created happened just as I wanted it t
“So what you mean to say is, he is someone connected to me?” ‘Yes, I think… we shouldn’t talk about this on phone’ “Shaun, send me the location” ‘Sure. See you’ I put down the phone and look at Serena who was sleeping in my bed. After we ate food that we made ourselves, she lay there and play some games on her phone and yes… she now sleeping soundly. I don’t know what I should do about the maid who put a poison in my drinks.. if I haven’t stop Serena from drinking it… who knows what is bound to happen. I shake my head and took a deep sigh. Holding a usb drive in my hand, I clench it and smirk. Who would have thought that all this years I never use my mind for my sake. I went out of my room silently. Trying to not make any sound that can wake Serena up. I texted her to let her know where I am. With that, just like a feather falling in the water, I make no sound nor ripple as I go. This time, I will make things right. *** “What? That thing happened? Dare who?” “A old maid wh
“Why are you pushing yourself like this? Thought you hate doing works? Even a sketch of a dress was a big hassle for you… but now look at your room Kianna. It is full of this mess…” Serena just put her palm in her face as she was tired of picking up tons of papers scattered in my room. What am I doing? I am investigating Marco. Drake seems to be wary of him and regarding what happened in the past… when I came back and tried to redo things… I now notice that something seems odd. There are relationships about this future and the past I recreate. People who is not suppose to meet each other met because I change the flow of things. Then… if people will still meet I they are meant to meet each other. People who are meant to die will die… just like Rocco. People who aren’t meant to die will be saved just like Exequiel. Why? Because his death was because of me. It has connection about my actions. With that said… even if I didn’t do anything now… even if I escape my first death… I will s
I want to ask what is happening but then I realized that it is not the right time to feed my curiosity. I look around as I sit in the chair that Drake pulled for me. He sat beside me and wear his usual smile. “This place is nice… isn’t it?” “Yeah, it sure is.” I look at the corner and saw different shells that serves as a wall decoration. I can see that this restaurant is a buffet but it feels like it is a seafood bar. There is stool and a bar seat on where you can get cocktails. Maybe it really is a seafood bar but the twist it is a eat all you can buffet. How nice… “We will go get some food now, “ “I heard their specialty is the cheesy baked oysters. I want to try some of it.” “I think I will choose the buttered shrimp" “The lobster monster is also a good pick. That is too big for me to handle on my own, baby share it with me okay?” “Sure sure, if that makes you happy" “Cough… ehem… um.. babe, would you want to share a love-ster too?” “You know what Warren? You know
We head in the direction of the stadium. While the others is asking about the things that are needed for us to start fishing, I and the others who is left wander around the big and wide fishing area. It was so massive that makes me feel that the depth of this area is un imaginable. Thankfully, there is a fence pole that serve as safety measures. It also contain different boards who says where that certain fishes are abundant. Milk fish? I never saw one of that kind I wonder if that fish is big as the book about it says. I look at the water who have different rocks and somehow visible water. “But, I can’t see it clearly…” I can barely see those fishes, maybe I can get near it to have a good view? Hmm… looking around, I saw that everyone is busy. Some are looking at the fishing rod they would use, some are looking at the instructions and some are already fishing. There is no board saying you can’t enter the fence, its height is also small that it is barely reaching my legs. Just a
“Kianna, I know we just met again after a long while but… would you like to go out with me?” “Silly, do you think we are still children to go out and get to know each other?” “But I don’t want to make things fast…” I smiled, is that why he ask me first to be his girlfriend? I remember that our first date was also the first time we met since I travel in the past. He treated me dinner back then. I wipe my tears as I turn my back at him. Smiling as I face Drake, he give me his genuine smile. “Yes, let’s date” The group date that was suppose to be me and Scott hanging out since we don’t have any relationship or sort turns out to me one of the memories that I will build with Drake. I can’t help but feel happy. He is like a medicine in my sickness. When he is around I always feel comfortable. He really is my comfort zone. “Drake… why didn’t you greet me when I graduated. You was there, right?” He was startled for a short while. So he is indeed there. That happened in the past I
“Sister beautifuw wady? You are here too?” I saw the son of Drake hugging the turtle designed neck pillow. I bend my knee a little just so I can face him comfortably. I hate it when I look down to someone, even if it is a child. “Hello Mavrick~ why are you here?” “Dada bring me here~" He said while hugging the turtle neck pillow. It looks like he really like it. I pat his head and smiled. I’ll buy this for him. But… wait, he said that… Dada? He mean… Drake? So they went here… is that so? I feel sad. Not that much but, I still miss Drake. I don’t want to be a burden in their life. Drake is happy now with his own family. He have a sweet little kid and a wife… that isn’t me. I smiled bitterly. “Wosh" Mavrick mumbles as he let the turtle touch my nose. Did I just zone out? “What’s with that?” “Mr. Turtwe wiw wosh bad bad" I giggled. How cute!!!!! “Thank you Mavrick~ “Mavrick? Ow, there you are. You shouldn’t run and leave like that.” “Dada!” As soon as I heard his voic
As what Patrish said, we had a group date. Thankfully, Scott agreed since he is not busy. My parents let me since the culprit of that incident was caught. I thought it was Francis who shot the painting causing the vase to shatter. My conclusion is wrong. I had a hint about that since I saw a bullet hole in the wall glass of that building. Before I fell out of my consciousness, I thought it is just my memories who created that. Turns out it is right. Now, I find it odd since, the day I died… I saw him holding a gun. That is why I thought that it is him who is the reason of my death. I hurt his fiancé and that is the thing he respond. Killing me with my own hands. If that is the conclusion that the police said… then…. Does that mean it isn’t Francis who killed me? Did I think wrong about him? If it really isn’t him… then who? “Kianna, let’s go?” “Ah… sure.” Scott drive me to our destination. While on our way… “Why are you still single?” “Because I choose to be?” he answered c
“Kianna?” he utter in surprise. I can’t say any more words as I feel different emotions flowing in my heart. I want to hug him… and tell him how much I miss him. I want to kiss him and tell him how much I love him. I want to put my hands cupping his cheeks and ask him if he missed me. I want to feel his embrace that is telling me I am safe in his arms. Yet… I can’t say anything. My head turns blank and my voice won’t work. I went here not exactly hoping to see him yet… here I am… standing in front of the man who I am looking for. Here right in front of me… is the man who treated me as his princess who he wanted to be his queen. “Kianna…? Um… I don’t know what to say. It is nice meeting you!” I replied with a smile. Kianna… wake up! Say something! You… have to… answer… “Yeah… it is… nice meeting yo-u” Did I stutter? Ahhh why do I feel as if I am a teenager who was meeting his crush for the first time!! For me… we may have shared lots of memories together but in his mind… in this
