บททั้งหมดของ The dark side of the moon: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"A blaring sound woke me up from my peaceful sleep.With a groan, I covered my head with the pillow hoping it would block some of the noise. After a while, there was silence in the room, the silence I was waiting for. But once again my peace got interrupted with the ringing of my phone. Without opening my eyes, I started searching for my phone and answered it, not bothering to check who was calling me at that ungodly hour."Hey, Eleanor. I know it is quite early and I really hope you are not busy or anything, but I was hoping...."I dozed off before I could process the words completely."Hello? Are you there?""Yes!" "Is it okay?"I frowned not understanding the words, I checked the name, it was Anna, "What is okay?""Were you not listening to me? I was saying something.""Anna it's 7 am for crying out loud, I can hardly manage to open my eyes."I heard the sigh from her side, "I am almost at yo

What happened two days ago never left my mind, a part of my brain was itching to find out more about that man and his work but another part of me knew better than to get mixed up in the mess, especially if he was doing something illegal.I tried to ask grandma about him but got nothing, the whole town knew almost nothing about him, it was like he mysteriously appeared one day out of nowhere. Anna was the only person who seemed to know something about him from all the people around me.I just needed to find Anna. It was a free period and I knew exactly where Anna would be, I made my way towards the last corridor of the ground floor. The smell of old books welcomed me as soon as I crossed the door, the library was nearly empty with a boy sitting on one of the tables, scribbling something furiously on his notebook. Then my eyes fell on the pin straight dark blonde hair of the girl sitting on the corner of the table with her head buried in the lar

My eyes wandered around the room searching for the man with hair like charcoal and eyes like an ocean. I was thinking the dinner was just for him but the room had around five people present already. I recognized a couple, my father usually did his business with them. The woman was tall and slim with a fake smile plastered on her burgundy lips chatting with my mother who had a similar smile playing on her lips.  Her husband was a buff man with a frown always glued to his face. He was chatting with two men I failed to identify. A tall man with sharp grey eyes, curly brown hair joined them with a glass of white wine in his hand. He passed a brief look in my direction with a soft smile, I gave a smile to my dad in return as well. I stood near the stairs awkwardly not knowing what to do when someone came in my direction.  A guy slightly taller than me was standing with a shy smile, "Hi. I am Adam." I smiled at Adam, "I am

I stared at the bright moon hiding behind the curtains of cloud at night, illuminating every cloud around it and giving it a distinct shape.  With a smile forming on my lips, I tried to connect the outline of clouds with my finger resembling a rabbit. I never felt alone surrounded by nature. I was too engrossed in my own world that the shuffling of leaves brought me back into the real world.  Thinking it was only in my head after what happened in school earlier I ignored the sound.  Not even a minute later there was another sound but it sounded like heavy footsteps.  Carefully I stood up and tried to get a better look without getting any closer. If it was an animal I did not want to become its dinner.  A gasp left my mouth as my eyes made contact with the shining blue eyes staring directly at me through the distance. There was something about those eyes that was making me want to stay. A low rumbling sound foll

My brain stopped functioning completely as the man said those words. I stood on my spot like a statue in the middle of taking a step forward. If that man caught us not only Damien would know everything but my parents would as well. Mom might ground me for the rest of my life. But if I ran the chances of outrunning the man were slim. I knew Adam was facing a similar dilemma as well. "Now, I want you both to turn around slowly and do not try to be smart with me," said the man. From his voice, I knew he was about ten steps away from us. "El," whispered Adam from my right side.  I hummed to indicate I was listening. "Run!!" he yelled loudly. It was all I needed for the motivation and I ran. I ran as fast as I could without checking if the man was following me or not.  The cold wind was slapping on my face but I moved my feet carefully so that I avoided the trees and everything on my way as best as I could.
