"Ahhhhhh!" I shouted at the top of my lungs but then covered them as soon as I remembered that I hadn't brushed my teeth yet.

I angrily looked at my friends, Seki, Teri, and Ryuu, while I covered half of my face with my hands.

A burst of great laughter can be heard all around the van. I just realized that we are now inside a van—well, to be exact, it is not just an ordinary van. This was purchased by Hinsen from a great researcher who created the most innovative and convenient van that contains all the necessities inside it.

To simply state it, it's a van that looks just like a small house. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

"Now, look at our dear princess. That's what you've got if you are a sleepy head," Seki said as she hugged the pillow on the sofa she was sitting on.

I sigh as I know that I don't have anything I can do since they already brought me here. So, what are we going to do?

I look at them, and they just point to the area where the toiletries are. So I get there, brush my

    My head hurts. What happened? Ah... "Is anybody out there?" I heard my voice echo. It is dark—too dark that I can't even see anything. Ahhh, I hate horror, you know? If this is a prank, well, this is not funny! It was as if I were walking in an endless corridor. I have been walking for a long period of time. I decided to stop for a while, but then... A tiny bit of light suddenly sparks from afar. I didn't hesitate to run and chase that light. Ahh, finally, there's a light. As I get nearer and nearer to it, it suddenly turns dimmer and dimmer until it doesn't resemble any light at all. "No! No, no, no... please don't." The light was starting to fade. It then explodes, making a green-colored light. Green... I suddenly remembered that it was his favorite color. I laugh at myself. Why have I been thinking of him up until now? He doesn't even care about me at all. I closed my eyes. Kianna, when can you be freed from this illusion? When can you accept the reality that he isn't mean

    I can't help but laugh. I tried to collect myself and hold my laughter, but I just couldn't! Right in front of me is Kieffer. I mean, Francis. He is just... covered with mud. From head to toe. What happened to him??? He looks just like a... grasshopper that jumps in a muddy puddle. Pffft. I looked at him, and he was glaring at me. I raised my right hand and made a peace sign. Wait.. What am I doing? Ever since... I fell unconscious. I can say that my body feels lighter than before. Just like... a yacht finally letting go of its anchor and setting sail in the sea. Ahhhh, I love what I'm feeling right now. Francis finished wiping his face using the towel given to the staff earlier. I just continued eating my meal—okay, fine, I faked eating. Fine? I can't focus on eating while someone is in that state, right? I wonder why he looks like that. The staff from earlier came back hurriedly, saying, "The bath is ready. This way, sir." I sipped my coffee and tried to avoid his gaze,

    It was Warren. I smiled and nodded. "Yeah," I replied. We walked to the area where they put the tents. On our way, we talked about things like "You still paint?" I asked. He is still holding his drawing book. Yes, he does have tablet computers, but he still sticks to the old-fashioned way of drawing things. "Yeah, but I focus on my w*****n work. They already approved the contract, and we just signed not too long ago." I smiled. In no time, his works will be known all over the world. I can't wait to see him achieve his dreams again. Still, I can't help but be curious about the thing he is holding. I was about to ask him if he had already met the girl she had always draws before. But maybe I should save that for later. Eventually, I will be the first person to know who she is, so I'm not that curious. On our way, we saw Patrish waiting for us. Her hands are placed on her hips. "My my, you are late," she said, as if I were her person who was late for her work. She then giggled. "

    "Who's that?" I asked as I stood up from my seat. Again, I heard the old man chuckle. Huh? What is funny about that? "Youngsters nowadays are really such scaredy cats. Don't worry, it is not something dangerous. It's my pet." A small cat came out from the bushes. So it is. a cat. I feel at ease knowing that it isn't something horrifying. That aside, when will the old man continue his story? Er, wait, I haven't asked what his name is yet! "Um, grandpa—" I was cut off in what I was saying when I realized that the old man was gone. He was just right here a moment ago; where is he? I looked around, but I still can't find him. "What a mysterious person!" I mumbled. I went inside and saw the others. Seki, Teri, and Ryuu. They are sitting on the hanging bench in the lobby. "Eyy," they called me. I was still in my dress, and yes, I still feel so cold. I would want to borrow any jacket or clothing they have, but, to my luck, they don't have any. Ahhh, I want to go back to the tent to ch

    She has pale skin and bruises on her body. Her dress is soaking wet and her hair is a mess. Kianna was found lying on the shore, covered with rocks. Her hands are serving her head as a pillow, while her knees are bending together. "You scared us to death! What happened to you?!" Hera shouted with her relief yet worried voice. She is confused. After the scenario that happened last night, Kianna was nowhere to be found. In the quarrel between Francis and Kianna, all of them were in complete silence. "Who are you?" Kianna's voice was filled with confusion. "Guys!!! They are here! We've found Kianna!!" A loud shout was heard nearby. It is Kyler. After shouting and informing the others, he rushes to where Kianna and Hera are. And soon, others came. Filled with questions in her mind and a state after sleeping on the shore, Kianna closed her eyes and lost consciousness. *** "What are you saying? Is the contract more important than the life of your boss's daughter?! What the hell?" Yse

    "Man, that is so ridiculous. Why did she sleep on the shore? And with that kind of dress? It would be a miracle if she didn't get the flu or what." Letting out his thoughts, Railey was scolded by Terrieza. "Can you just shut up that mouth of yours?" She is confused. Thoughts are wandering in her mind. Gazing in the air, Railey can't help but notice. She is sad. That's what she feels. Trying to lessen Terrieza's worries, he wanted to say something. But with his mouth slightly open, he closed it immediately. 'No, I think she doesn't need my cheer. Knowing Terrieza, I know she can handle it.' That is what he thought. The staff knocked at the door. "Please be ready; in 5 minutes we will start." She then leaves in a rush. The make-up artists made their way to Terrieza and the others. Adding some finishing touches, Terrieza stands up. Like a diamond receiving its final retouching, she walks, catching the attention of everyone who sees her. It's not new for Terrieza since her life is

    "Well then, let's continue our discussion later with your parents. Rest well, Kianna." Dr. Hinsen gave a smile and then went out of the room, as did the nurse after bowing her head slightly. The man at the door was covered with sweat on his face. Maybe he runs all the way here? But why would he do that? And.. Who is he? Is he someone I know? Ahh... I have too many questions. I should ask all of them about my 'parents'. The doctor said they would be here. I didn't notice, but the man who was at the door a while ago had his way beside my bed. He is kneeling, his hands hold mine and put them on his lips. "They say your case isn't that bad, but days and weeks have passed, and you... don't wake up. I... I was worried. Kianna, don't do that again, okay?" I don't know, but somehow my heart feels like it is getting squeezed. I don't know him, nor do I know my identity. If I really am the Kianna they are talking about, and this person in front of me... Someone I know of... "Sorry," I u

    A knock on the door was heard. A girl entered while holding a basket of strawberries and other fruits. My parents aren't here, and my mom is busy getting stuff I can use during my stay here in the hospital. While my dad , he said he had a business meeting he should attend, "Hi," she greeted me. "Who are you?" I asked. "Patrish Raven Hinsen, I'm your cousin." She lowers her gaze and sighs. I opened my phone and looked at the gallery. My mom created a gallery containing pictures of those who are to be trusted; of course, it also has names. "Patrish," I utter. And voila, I saw her image. 'Patrish It is indeed her. "Hello," I greeted. I don't know what to say. Is she someone I am close with? She sits in the corner of my bed. "So... you indeed lost your memories." I couldn't hear her crying, but I saw her wipe the tears from her cheeks. "Don't cry" I was confused. Why is she crying? Because I forgot about her? I don't even know who I really am. I sigh, "I... don't have any me

    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?

    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!!
