All Chapters of I Saw You: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

SERRAI turned around but I couldn’t see a thing. I strode forward without any idea where my feet would take me. A rattling sound echoed every time I stepped. Darkness was everywhere but I could see my way as if I lived in the dark.as if I belong here.“H-Help...” a raspy voice whispered in my ear.I averted my attention at the side but no one’s there. I walked forward endlessly. My mind was blank but my feet knew where to go.“H-Help...” I heard the same voice however it wasn’t just in my ear.I don’t know where to settle my head. The sound bounced from one place to another. The owner of the voice sounded like he was everywhere. I tried to follow the voice but it lead me to nowhere. My heart beat fast out of excitement. I should be scared yet I felt thrilled.A light from afar suddenly surfaced. I leaped towards the light and revealed myself. I froze seeing a feeble and naked man tied to the chair.“H-Help...” he uttered once more.Bruce!I called but he didn’t seem to hear me. I yell

Her words made my heart throbbed. “About what?” “I am carrying a being in my womb for two months now. I hid it from Bruce and everyone else even the school nurse by faking my period that almost lead to miscarriage.” She gently brushed her tummy with love. “I told him once and the truth almost killed me. I reasoned out that it was a prank and it brought him back to his senses but he couldn’t remember what he did to me. Sometimes I would wake up with a pain in my belly and found Bruce squeezing it while blurting foreign languages. He was possessed but I don’t know which devil not until I heard its voice at the library. It was the only time I was certain that it was Mark, my ex-boyfriend.” Her voice cracked. I sighed in relief. Thank goodness my initial thought was wrong. Her choice of words especially the confess one made me nervous. “Why are you telling me all of these?” I questioned. “I need your help to find Bruce’s soul and I confessed to gain your trust.” Her sincere eyes met mi

“How could we find Bruce?” I racked my head the entire time but I haven’t thought of a place where he possibly gone to. The sun already set and a cold breeze embraced my skin. We are at the end of August, few days left and it would be ber months. As time passed by the wind was getting colder and colder an indication that December was fast approaching. I hugged myself to lessen the chills I was feeling. “We could track him down by identifying his grudge or his desire. Humans whose lives were forcefully taken away from them were most likely to have grudges while people who were not ready to die or have regrets develop desires. Grudges and desires are the reasons why souls refuse to leave the world of the living. Resolving of grudges or desires was the only way for them to cross the light.” He sipped on his coffee that appeared earlier from nowhere. “Bruce was murdered, for sure he has an intense grudge,” Gugu stated. I snapped my fingers. “Maybe he’s in the clock tower!” Grip shook

Every time she strode forward my heart skipped a beat. I gawked behind her. A shadow-like hand appeared and pushed her down the stairs. I caught her with my body but the impact was so strong and sudden that it made me yield backward. I closed my eyes and waited for us to roll down the stairs but someone clutched my shoulders and kept me in place. “Trying to save everyone will only put you in danger.” Grip’s toned chest pressed against my back. The man-like shadow revealed himself smiling from ear to ear, literally. A roar echoed behind him and a loud thud struck his back. He clamored in pain and knelt. His face kissed the floor and his body laid flat on the ground as if his leg was being pulled. He howled not letting go of the railings but not long after he gave up and removed his grasp. His claws dug deep on the floor as he resists being dragged but eventually failed. Grip helped us go down the stairs. Roars, howls, thud, shattering of glasses, and breaking of woods could be heard

“You should eat this.” I shove a slice of apple in Amara’s mouth. “You’re eating unhealthy foods. It’s bad for the baby,” I scolded her. “It’s because I’m craving for it. More and more of it,” she reasoned out and ate a fork-full of spaghetti behind my back but I caught her. “No more spaghetti for you young lady.” I snatched her paper plate and jabbed it on the trash can. “I haven’t finished it yet!” she complained. “What a waste!” She dropped her back on the bench. “Hi! Guys...” Victoria placed her bag on the table. “Hi, Ria. Now that you’re here I’d better go.” I picked up my things and put them in my backpack. “Don’t spoil her okay?” “I won’t,” Victoria assured and winked at Amara. The latter giggled. “I saw that.” I glared at them both. Amara frowned and Victoria chuckled. I bid goodbye and left them in the garden. It has been a week since Mark and Bruce crossed over. Amara looked a bit better now but according to Victoria she still cried at night. The issue about Bruce’s d
