All Chapters of Pursuance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Bad Dream!      I got up from lying down. I’m running out of breath. Again, I dreamt of it, the same dream ... the same nightmare. I’m staring blankly at the wall. I once more drifted back.     I shook my head, trying to erase the dream in my mind while I let my body fall on the bed, bouncing me gently for a second. I spread my arms and stared at the ceiling for a few moments before turning my head to the alarm clock. The sound of it made me realize that it’s already eight o’clock in the morning.   I usually get up around 6 a.m., but whenever one of my nightmares comes to visit me, I wake up within two hours. It has

  Vesta silently sipped the wine while thinking about what her friend had declared. It melted her of how sharply Jillian’s gaze gave to her. “Don’t make a stupid decision, Vesta. Let Tita Elena just be on that thing.” Jillian was not pleased about it. Vesta presumed Jillian could help her, but as her aunt, Jillian was from the same perspective. Vesta placed the half-content wine glass on the glass table. Vesta scowled, it’s not the thing that Jillian averse but the reason that they don’t want her to go there. “Will you please tell m

Vesta tossed the tissue in the trash can before she opened the door of the comfort room. She looked in disbelief when Ashley left her. Ashley told her she will stay outside because Sean called. And now Ashley was not here. Vesta walked fast while looking at her surrounding until she walked to the stairs leading to the second floor.    Then she saw Ashley in the middle of the hallway.  Vesta approached Ashley, who was calling for someone. "Ash, why you left me in the comfort room?" she asked Ashley immediately. Vesta wanted to know the truth about why Ashley left her.     “Sad, he left,” Vesta heard what Ashley declared. The who?      “Who left?” Vesta was wondering what Ashley said.     “The new handsome guy. I didn’t get his name and phone number. Gosh, Vesta, if you only see him, you going to fall in love with him.

Vesta was watching the night sky, looking for the stars, but she saw nothing. She was on the terrace, leaning against the white marble bannister, looking up. She had been waiting for her cousin. It’s been two hours since she left to buy some books in town. Until now, she was not at home.The black sweater she’s wearing fits the curves of her body, paired with her favourite blue jogger pants with an imprinted word on the side, the colours. She turned her gaze to the garden below her. Through moonlight she could see the different colours of roses planted by her godmother and some flowering plants.The cool breeze was playing with her short hair. Her eyes moved at something moving in one tree of the mini forest, twenty meters away from where she was. Forming a furrow on her forehead, trying to figure out if someone is lurking behind. A sigh came out of her mouth, the coolness of the air she breathed

Vesta got up with dizziness, she sat on the bed, roaming her eyes to her surroundings. She was in the University's infirmary. She got up from the bed, there's no one in the room. Then Vesta noticed the cap on her head was gone, the white bandage could be seen, and her face felt so cold.Vesta knew any minute her cousin would be here, but before it happened she needed to get out of here, afraid of her cousin's reaction if she knew. She tried to remember what happened but the only thing she could was the tremendous pain in her head as well as the images of two kids and a young woman, that she could not understand. Irritation rose on her, why was it happening to her?The infirmary looks like a hospital where she had been, the white paint in the walls, and the white curtain that separated the three-bed in her back, and another three in front of her. The first thing she looked at was the journal, fear crept in her when she could not find it on the table beside the bed.
