Amelia and her dad looked at each other as they all wore shocked expressions on their faces. "Can someone explain to me what is going on here?" Andrea asked. He was surprised to see his daughter. He looked at Laura and said, "What has come over you?" He asked turning his attention back to his daughter. He was sad to see his daughter being tied down like an animal. "Release her right now!" He ordered but they all laughed at him. He was even more surprised to see his wife laughing at him. "Laura." He called."That's not mom," Amelia said."What do you mean?" He asked."Mom is dead." She turned to see her dad's reaction. "Mom is dead." She said again.Andrea shook his head. "That's not possible." He said still in doubt. "Your mom is standing right..." He paused as he took a few seconds to take note of the situation. After he was done speculating, he looked at Amelia. "How...how come?'"She was killed by a ghost," Amelia said. Even without looking at her dad, she could tell her dad was gi
"Dad...Just find a safe place to hide OK?" Amelia told her father touching his face. They were talking when Dalton came to meet Amelia grabbing her by her hair. Andrae used that moment to hide. He could hear grunting and shouting, but he couldn't see anything. Dalton carried Amelia up and toss her against the wall making her grunt in pain as she fell to the ground. "Go and save her I will handle this," Carlos told Xen. Xen looked at Carlos to see if he will be OK. Carlos nodded. Dalton was this close to attacking Amelia when Xen ran to shield Amelia from the attack. Dalton figured he couldn't move anymore and when he looked down he saw a sword in his stomach it was then he knew this was the end. Slowly and slowly each part of his body started vanishing until there was nothing there. Rose knew she was dead and there was no going back from it, she fell to her knees and they gave Carlos the privilege to kill her. "You were a thorn in the flesh," Carlos told her as he grabbed the swor
Kai Xen, eighteen years old, the son of Xen and Amelia attends Elite Academy which looks like a normal school but deep dark secrets lie within it. A secret no one knew about until six students mysteriously vanished from the school only to find themselves in a strange world. Kai, one of the students was used to disappearing and appearing all the time but the five people he was with looked like they had no idea what had just happened. He wasn't worried about how he got there, he was more worried about why he was there. "Can someone just explain to me what the hell just happened?" One of the girls- Livvy Elle asked. Kai looked around for something, a clue or whatever that could tell them where they were but everywhere was covered in fog and no one could make out anything. "We are probably in the land of the dead." One of the guys- Blaze Grayson whispered making scary sounds that were enough to make Livvy run up to meet Kai for protection. "I am already scared as it is...please don't
Today is their 1st anniversary and she hadn't received a call from Michael, not even a text message, which would have worked magic to the doubts she was feeling in her heart. Nora sat on the chair in her office staring intensely at her phone. She still couldn't believe she didn't have a picture of her boyfriend. She had tried severally to take his pictures without him knowing but for two years she had failed to. Michael never likes it whenever she tries to take his pictures, he always throws a tantrum when it comes to that. She pushed her phone aside as she tried to focus on her work. Nora works in a catering company known as Oak and Honey. She got this job because of her boyfriend although he didn't tell the boss they were dating in order to protect Nora and himself. Nora was grateful to him and his endless efforts to make sure she was satisfied with everything, this made her love him more but she couldn't tell what to make out of this. What would make Michael not to remember the mo
Arriving home with the groceries and a bouquet in her hands, Andrew, Nora's older brother looked at her. Andrew could notice the broad smile on his sister's face. "Who did this to you?" Andrew teased. Nora took a seat next to her brother as she showed him the things she got from the grocery store. "So, I am thinking of preparing pasta tonight. Have you had anything to eat while I was gone?" asked Nora. "Sitting in a wheelchair doesn't mean I can't do things with my hands." Nora smiled. She gave a big sigh as she looked at her brother. She wished she could turn back the hand of time and change so many things like stopping her brother and parents from coming to her school party. If only they had stayed back, her parents would still be alive and her brother won't be sitting in that wheelchair. If only I could go back in time. Andrew pulled his wheelchair closer to his sister. "I know that look." Nora faked a smile. "What look?" asked Nora as she kept a straight face. "That look that
The day is too sunny. Michael thought as he grabbed a bottle of whisky pouring it into his tumbler. A young lady walked behind him, placing her hands on his chest and rubbing his chest playfully. "Sweetheart, why did you get off the bed? I was looking for you." Michael turned to face her, kissing her on her lips. "You need to get going." He told her bluntly before walking away. "What's all this? You call me up anytime you need me to warm your bed and when you are done with me, you push me away like I am some kind of trash." "Gina, do not start," Michael told her, glaring at her. "Go back to your boyfriend." "It's because of her, isn't it?" She asked him as she folded her arms across her chest. Michael moved closer to her pulling her by the neck. "What do you know?" Regina started coughing. "You are hurting me." She told him. Michael left her neck and waited for her to spill the beans. "I followed you last night and I saw you kissing her, you even got her a bouquet. Is she your gi
It was 8 pm Sara and Nora decided to go somewhere to talk. "What about the Franklin Guesthouse? I heard his guesthouse is quite lovable," said Sara with her arms around Nora's arms. Nora wasn't interested and Sara could tell from the way her face squeezed up in a frown. "Come on Nory, It's going to be fun besides I won't leave your side for a second. What do you say?" She asked. Nora was feeling very reluctant but with a friend like Sara, it won't be very easy to tell her no. "I don't know Sara. Can't we just go somewhere not fancy and just look for a quiet place to talk?". Nora whined, poking her best friend in the cheek. Nora was trying her best to make sure her best friend said yes to her request. "Not this time, Eleanora Bell. We are having things my way and that's final. We ain't debating on this issue at all." Sara said with all seriousness and Nora could tell she wasn't going to have her way this time. Anytime it involves going out and stuff, Nora always tells her no or she w
Michael was still sitting at the bar waiting for Kelvin when a call came in. He dropped his glass of vodka on the table and picked up the call. "Yo! What's up??" "We've found her." The voice on the other side of the phone said. Michael didn't understand what the guy was saying so he stood up and went somewhere remote and quiet. "I didn't get you before. What did you say?" "We've found Nora Bell... Your girlfriend." "What?" asked Michael with his tone rising from low pitch to high pitch. "Where's she?" After he got to the room she was in, he ran to meet them, and to his greatest surprise, Nora was there sleeping soundly. Michael shut the door after him as he paced the room to and fro. "Check everywhere and make sure no one is here," Michael ordered as his friends went to carry out the order searching every nook and cranny of the room. Kelvin overheard their conversation and thought of how he was going to hide from them without them seeing him. He looked up at the ceiling and he wa

Amelia and her dad looked at each other as they all wore shocked expressions on their faces. "Can someone explain to me what is going on here?" Andrea asked. He was surprised to see his daughter. He looked at Laura and said, "What has come over you?" He asked turning his attention back to his daughter. He was sad to see his daughter being tied down like an animal. "Release her right now!" He ordered but they all laughed at him. He was even more surprised to see his wife laughing at him. "Laura." He called."That's not mom," Amelia said."What do you mean?" He asked."Mom is dead."

Amelia and her mother walked to a certain area. She was becoming uncomfortable because her mother hasn't said a word to her which is weird. "Mom," Amelia called but her mother didn't listen to her. She walked closer to her mother tapping her on her shoulder she called again, "Mom." This time Laura turned to face her with a smile on her face."We are almost there," Laura told her daughter."Almost where??" Amelia asked feeling uncomfortable in the area. "Mom, let's go back. We have wandered far too long, they must be waiting for us right now." As Amelia turned to leave, Laura grabbed her hand making her turn to face her. Immediately Amelia turned, Laura pulled her close and hits Amelia's head with her head making Amelia stumbled and faint.Laura pulled Amelia by the leg and dragged her to a remote area where Dalton stationed them to be.~~~"Where are Amelia and her mother?" Tamara asked."They have been gone for too long." Devon with a worried look on his face said."I will go and loo
Xen and his friends came up with an idea. "I feel this is going to work," Jason said. The others nodded in agreement."I guess we can handle this," said Carlos."I knew with Xen this thinking stuff will be amazing." Everyone chuckled at Devon's remark."I better start going now before Riele-Rose finds out I am gone." Xen stood up and was about to take his leave when Amelia stood up to meet him."Be safe okay?" She said. Xen nodded touching her cheeks. "And my mom, can you help me find a way to get her here?" Amelia asked.Xen nodded and bade them goodbye.Amelia sighed. It was like there was this empty void she was feeling inside of her but she doesn't know why she is feeling that way. Clarissa noticed and she came to meet her. "Are you ok?" She asked.Amelia placed her hand on her chest and said, "My heart feels empty...like something is missing."Tamara who heard the conversation joined them and said, "Maybe you are missing Xen, I mean you guys just shared a passionate kiss."Amelia
Amelia and her friends were brainstorming on the plans but nothing seems to be working out. "I don't think this is going to work out," Devon said as he gave up thinking."We need Xen. He is the brainbox of the ghosthunters, without him. We are nothing." Tamara answered.Amelia looked around to see who else agreed to that and her surprise, everyone agreed.She stood in front of them and said, "Listen, guy, I know this is hard for every one of us but we need to accept the fact that we don't have Xen here with us anymore. The brainbox of the ghosthunters is on a break right now but at least we still have the heart..." She pointed to Carlos. "...without Carlos, we wouldn't be able to achieve anything and Tessa said something... We need to work together, two heads are better than one and the great thing about this is that we have more than two people in the group which makes it easier for us to come up with a plan."They all nodded. "We will come up with a plan then," Jason said as they we
They froze as their eyes met those of Carlos and Tessa. "What's going on here?" Tamara asked. "And don't tell me it's who I think it is." She said pointing at Carlos."Yes, baby...it's me," Carlos said walking towards them."He talks and walks??" Tamara asked hiding behind Jason.Carlos smiled as he continue walking toward them. "It's me. If I am a ghost, Tamara..." He points to her. "..You won't be able to see me and so will Jason because you guys aren't wearing my Ghost-revealing glasses." He stopped in front of them. "If you don't believe me, you can feel me." He stretched out his hands as the four of them slowly went closer to him to feel him and when they felt he was real, they pulled him close and hugged him sucking the life out of him."Um...guys...am choking..." He tried to find his words. When his friends finally let him go, he coughed as they all laughed."Sorry about that. It's so good to see you again." Norman said."It's good to be back," Carlos said. Tamara tucked her ar
Clarissa froze as she heard Carlos call her name. She poked Amelia by the side moving closer to Amelia. "Slap me." She whispered to Amelia. Amelia looked at her wondering if she was okay."Are you serious?" She asked."Just do it." Amelia nodded and immediately a hot slap landed on her face making her lose her balance."Ouch!" Clarissa yelled. Her cheek was feeling very hot from the slap, she rubbed her hand on her cheek as she turned to look at Carlos who was folding his arms and looking at her."Are you done?" Carlos asked. Clarissa ran to meet him as Carlos welcomed her in his arms. "I missed you guys.""We miss you more," Clarissa said as they all took a seat. "But how come??? How did you guys escape and do you know that girl??" She bombarded Carlos with questions."One question at a time sweetie uh?" Carlos said with a smile on his face."I am sorry. I just feel...like all of this...like I don't know how to explain it...it's..."Carlos raised his hands gesturing for her to stop.
Carlos thought for a while about what Tessa could mean, and after thinking so much, it finally hits him. "Dang it!" He said forgetting Dalton was next to him and giving him weird looks. I have to find a way to undo this before it's too late. He thought. But first I need to think of a way to get Tessa out, once she's out, I can think of the rest.~~~"What do you mean by saving Carlos now is a bad idea?" Amelia asked Riele.Riele looked at each of them before speaking. "If Carlos is being kidnapped by Dalton, believe me, it's either he is dead or Dalton has bundled him up and kept him somewhere. Looking for Carlos will be like looking for a needle in a haystack." She said.Everyone thought about what she said but none of them could accept it."We can't just assume Carlos is dead or in the land of no return.." Tamara said. "..we should find out that truth ourselves and not base this on assumption.""This is not an assumption...I was there so I know precisely what I am talking about."Am
