The ride was slow and quiet. Diego couldn't help but glance at Nora now and then to see if she was ok. He heard her sniffing and sometimes wiping her eyes with her hand. He turned the car around and found a spot to park the car. Nora looked at him wondering why he stopped the car all of a sudden. "Why did you stop?""I can't watch you crying and pretend like it means nothing." He said."Don't worry about me, I am fine." She forced a smile on her face."You can't fool me with that fake smile.""This is not something to discuss now Diego, please just start the engine and drive." He was about to say something when his phone rang. He saw who the caller was, instead of picking up the call, he started the engine and drove off."just know this discussion isn't over." Nora turned to look at him and he also turned to look at her. "I am serious." Nora rested her hand on the window. She has had a long day already. How she wishes she could just skip the whole shoot today, go home, get some rest a
They looked at each other for a long time. Nora didn't know what she was going to do but she didn't want Kelvin to think she was that fragile girl he knew her to be besides he could be the reason for her misfortunes. She cleared her throat and walked up to him. "Hi, Kel..." She paused. She turned to look at Diego waiting for a signal if it was ok to call him by his name. Diego shook his head."It's okay to call me that," Kelvin assured her with a smile."Ok um...I just really want to say thanks for this."Kelvin smiled. "Don't thank me, thank Diego." Although I was the one who wanted to bring you here Diego beat me to it. Nevertheless, I am glad you are here.She turned to look at Diego whispering a thank you to him."It's late now so I will advise that we move the shoot to the following morning."Diego and Nora nodded in agreement. "I will take you home." Diego offered. Nora tried to refuse his offer but he held her hand and pulled her out of the office.Kelvin turned to face the win
Kelvin came home a bit early because he had a lot of questions to ask Diego. He was shocked to see that he wasn't home yet. He took that as an opportunity to shower and prepare dinner. His father joined him in the kitchen looking at him like he could sense something was wrong. "Did anything happen at work today?" He asked."Uh?" Kelvin pretended not to hear what his father said."Why isn't Diego with you?" Owen changed the question. "Shouldn't you guys be home together?""He had other matters to attend to." Kelvin concentrated on the spinach he was cutting.His father was about to ask another question when the door opened revealing Diego with a smile on his face. Unknown to Diego his uncle and cousin were watching him, he danced, turned, and threw his hands up in victory. Kelvin had to stop what he was doing to look at the drama his cousin was acting. His uncle on the other hand just stood still, watching him with folded arms."This better be good," Owen said. Diego turned around. He
The way Nora treated Michael made him feel so embarrassed. He couldn't remember a time a lady treated him that way. He was at home with White, drinking. Michael had already had four bottles of vodka but still, yet, he refused to stop. White tried talking him out of it but every time he tried, Michael would lash out at him, so all White could do was sit there, watching him drink to his fill."How could she do that to me?" asked Michael with a glass of vodka close to his mouth."Come to think of it Mike, you treated her pretty bad, why are you upset?"Michael glared at him, "And what's that supposed to mean??" he asked."you broke up with her, you ruined her life, why are you the one affected now?"He moved closer to White and pulled him by the collar almost choking him. "if you don't have words to say, just shut up!" he released the collar of his shirt and pushed him back a little. He grabbed his drink and continue drinking. "What about Kelvin? have you heard from him?" he asked."You
The shock on their faces when they saw Michael made him give a smile of victory. Kelvin walked up to his dad and said, "Dad, why did you come here without letting me know. You know you should be resting.""I know that son but don't worry, I am fine and my health is ok." His dad reassured him.Kelvin turned to look at Michael who was glaring at him. "Why is he here?" he whispered to his dad."Oh! I am officially making him a model here.""What?" Kelvin and Nora asked.Nora looked at Kelvin wondering why he would be surprised his friend is becoming a model, wasn't this part of their plan to humiliate her? why then is he acting surprised? she asked herself."I thought you'd be happy to have your friend around with you." his dad said surprised to see his son didn't have the expression he thought he would."I am happy dad, just surprised that's all." he smiled.His father was ok with the response. "Make sure to treat him well and teach him everything he needs to know." Mr. Owen left before
Michael moved closer to Kelvin and asked him what he meant by that. Kelvin pushed him back a little and said, "Don't try to pretend, Michael. You and I know who is responsible for Nora's scan..." before he could say anymore, Michael covered his mouth."Shut the f**k up, Kelvin, just shut up.""No, you shut up." Kelvin retorted in anger. "You..." he poked Michael's chest. "...destroyed her life and now you are here? for what exactly?""I want to have her back, Kev. I was a fool back then but now, I want...""I can't let you have her.""I am not asking for your permission, Kev. I am letting you know what I am going to do.""I won't let you hurt her, Mike."Michael looked at Kelvin and asked, "Since when did you start caring about a lady?""Since the moment I saw what a jerk you are."Michael smiled. "You love her, don't you?"His question shocked Kelvin that it rendered him speechless. Michael was shocked because he knew Kelvin hardly falls in but here he is, in love with his girlfriend
Nora froze. What did she mean by she reconciled with Michael? "Which Michael?""Who else?" Sara asked. "He told me that he has plans of getting back to you but I told him you will not be stupid to do such a thing.""Thanks a lot, Sara. I have no idea what Mike told you but we ain't reconciled or anything.""Promise me you won't think of getting back together with him.""I promise.""Good. Would you like a sleepover?" Sara asked while tapping her feet to hear her response."Can we do that tomorrow night? I need to spend time with Andrew and give him the notice too.""Alright! see you tomorrow night."Nora ended the call and went to meet Diego. "Sorry about that.""It's fine," Diego said with a smile."So where were we?" Nora asked."You were about to answer the question I asked you.""No.""No?"At first, she considered giving him a chance if he came to apologize but with what she heard from Sara, she wasn't sure she would want to do that mistake of accepting him back. "Yeah. I don't w
Nora arrived Sara's house late and Sara was a little bit worried. Seeing her at the door, she quickly rushed to meet her. "What took you so long?" Sara asked. She took the groceries she bought and some other things from her and set them on the table while she waited for Nora to sit down.Her sad countenance made Sara realize that something was wrong. "What happened to you? I thought you'd be happy we are having a sleep over. I wasn't expecting this kind of expression." Sara sat beside her while waiting for Nora to talk but she didn't say anything. "If you don't want to sleep over, you could have told me and we would have postponed it to another day..."Sara was still talking when Nora looked at her and said, "Kelvin kissed me." All of a sudden, Sara stopped talking with her eyes opened wide."Wait! What?!" she asked."Diego saw it and he didn't talk to me." Nora added."Double what?""Kelvin was drunk and he was asking some weird questions and...""Wait! What kind of weird questions?"
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
