Nora has been home for the past few days, and she has refused to eat anything. Her heart is broken and it feels like the world has decided to frown at her. Everything that made her world beautiful suddenly made her world dim. How was she going to live with this new identity of hers when everywhere she goes, she is being tagged a whore and a disgrace. Her brother tried talking to her but all fell on deaf ears. She was lying down on her bed thinking when she heard a familiar voice downstairs. She recognizes that voice anywhere."Is she in?" She heard the voice ask."She's been in her room all day, I hope you can talk to her and make her get back to her senses. Starving herself or thinking won't do her any good." She heard her brother say as she stood at the door with her ears placed on the door. She listened to every conversation her brother and Sarah had. Andrew must have been pissed off with everything that has happened, he is even more pissed because he warned her about it but she wo
Michael and his two friends were chilling in an open cafe where they were discussing the ladies they had fun with last night at Kayla's party. Kayla is Austin's ex-girlfriend. She is a model and also the breadwinner of her family. The twenty-two years old lady broke up with Austin because of his cheating skills and broken promises. "But your girlfriend was really looking beautiful at the party," White said.Austin looked at White and answered him saying, "if you want her, you are free to get her. I heard she is still single." He grabbed the drink in front of him and gulped it down his throat with his eyes still fixed on White.Michael. chuckled at his two funny friends. "Any of you saw Kelvin at the party?" He asked. Austin and White thought about the event last night, after much thinking Austin answered, "I don't think he was at the party last night.""Yeah me too. If he was he would have come over to see us." White said. "Not to worry, I sent him the address. of our meeting spot
Kevin arrived home that day and he went straight to his dad's room to have a conversation with him. Mr. Alfred was sitting on his working chair with different paper works on the table, the bed, and on the ground. The moment Kelvin entered the room, he saw his busy father wearing his reading glasses, he helped pick the paper on the ground. He gathered them together and placed them nicely on the bed with other paper works since the table was filled with papers. "You seem busy, should I come back later?" He asked.His father turned to look at him, he removed his glasses and placed them nicely on the table. "You came on your own to see me that means you have something to tell me. I am all ears." Said the man.Kelvin moved closer to his father, he sat at the table and said, "I want to work at the company." His father was shocked."I heard when you said the same thing on the phone but hearing you say them to face makes me dumbfounded." Mr. Alfred said. "Why the sudden change of mind?""Noth
Nora and Sara left for the job hunt together after waiting for Andrew but he didn't show up. Few blocks away, they saw a vacancy at a convenience store. "Would you like to give it a try?" Sara asked Nora tucking her hands in Nora's arms."Do I look like I have any choice?" Nora asked as they went inside the store. They took notice of the store and when they got the feeling that it would be a good place to work, Sara asked some people about the boss."He is with a customer. I will alert him that he has a visitor." A young girl with brown hair and brown cute eyes said with a smile.Nora smiled at the young girl and thanked her watching her leave to meet the boss."This place is amazing. How come I never noticed a place like this?" Sara asked looking at the items in the store. Nora smiled as the two of them stared at the beauty of the store. There was this comfort the store gives and it's hard to find it anywhere; the silence and the beauty made it a best place to shop."Hi ladies." A ma
Kelvin was so shocked to see his cousin and this is because no one said anything about him coming. Alfred came out from his room and when Diego saw him, he went to hug him. "Uncle." Diego calls as kelvin stood there watching the scene."How was the trip?" Alfred asked.Kelvin was surprised it was like everyone knew Diego was coming except him."It was stressful." Diego whined as Kelvin scoffed. Diego and Alfred heard it and they both turned to look at him.Kelvin ignored them and went into his room to wait for his father's personal assistant."Doris." Alfred calls. A thirty year old woman with braided blond hair and grey eyes entered. "Show Diego to his room so he can freshen up and tell Lucy to prepare something for Diego to eat." Doris nodded. Diego assisted Doris in getting the luggage from the booth into his room.Diego jumped on the bed and slept off immediately. The trip from San Francisco to New York city wore him out and he has to rest in order to regain the lost strength.Aft
It's another day and Nora has been feeling good about herself lately. She and Sara was supposed to go on a job hunt today but Sara has things to do at the company which means she has to go on the job hunt alone. She got prepared for the job hunt, she prepared breakfast and went to Andrew's room to help him up that's if he is already awake. She entered his room while shutting the door behind her. She opened the curtains as rays of sunshine shone into the room. She helped him arrange his room and get his water prepared for bathing.After she had prepared everything she went ahead to wake her brother patting him softly on his shoulders. "Andy, It's time to get up." She told him.Andrew opened his eyes to see his younger sister standing next to his bed all dressed up. She helped him sit up while she placed a pillow at his back which he rested on. He turned to face her when she sat next to him. "Why are you fully dressed? Is there an occasion going on I should know about?"Nora smiled. "I
It was 2pm in the afternoon and Diego decided to visit Kelvin at the company like his uncle commanded. He was walking on the road when his eyes caught a particular scene. A man was harassing a young lady, the young lady happens to be Nora.Diego stood to watch the scene with folded arms."I am trying to help you. Do you think you will be able to get a job especially with your new label?" the man asked."I am not interested." Nora said as the man grabbed her hand. "I don't know you...just let me be." She begged but the man kept pulling her.Some passer-byes instead of helping, they were taking photos and laughing while some stood still watching the scene."Oh! It's that girl." A female passerby said holding her friend's hand as they walked closer to Nora."Which girl?" Her friend asked."The girl her video and pictures where taken when she was in a hotel." She reminded her friend.The other friend remembered and gasped. "It's her?" She asked glancing at Nora. "But she doesn't look like
Nora stopped looking for a job because she was scared to go through what she went through the other time with that man. If that Diego guy hadn't saved her only God knows what would have become of her. "Was I too harsh on him?" Nora asked herself. "Maybe I shouldn't have lied about my name." She thought as she shook her head. "Get yourself together Nora, don't be fooled." She reassured herself. She laid down on her bed as thoughts of her relationship with Michael came flooding in.***Flashback***Two Years AgoNora was reading a novel at the park. She was sitting on the green grass with her snacks close beside her. She was having a good time alone with just herself. She had plans to look for a job but she knew she had to enjoy herself before working or she might not have time for herself when she starts working besides she hasn't have that much luck in getting a job.She was still enjoying her time when the weather changed and it started drizzling. Everywhere became dark. Everyone was
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
"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
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
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
