All Chapters of Daughter of the Damned: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Mira's POVThis new hostel was no joke, I must insist. I honestly felt, I was at a hotel when I tried getting my room number at the reception. I mean, what hostel even has a reception? They have warden rooms and the main office, right? Or am I just being a low class naive? Anyways, I learnt that I was going to share a room with a roommate.I patiently carried my baggage up and knocked on the door, even though I had the keys. If there was someone already residing in that space, I was only intruding. I was trying to be as less hostile as possible. After all, I had come to the place for a little peace. " Did they not give you those damn keys? "A half awake voice, flung the door open. She was wearing a t-shirt and matching shorts. Her hair was silver and tied up in a messy bun. She was at least a few inches taller than me and she stood there, staring me up and down, from behind a half rimmed glass that she was wearing. " Ummm, Hi, I'm Mira. Ummm, well I do have the keys but I didn

" Is it necessary for you to leave? We have already arranged for a representative for the exchange program. You don't need to waste your senior years for something like this? You can go on a vacation if you need a break. Why are you insisting on going for the Exchange Student Program? "Braze's mother had no knowledge that he was applied to be on that list, even though she was the principal. It was primarily because it was a trivial matter and things like these were handled by her subordinates. It was when her son was about to leave, that she knew about the matter and she definitely didn't look pleased. " I just want to go for the ESP, Mama. What's the big deal about it? "It wasn't like he and his mother were particularly affectionate. Besides, he too needed his time away from Mira. He knew he was running from his reality. Those dreams that were haunting him lately, those urges that were telling him that he didn't belong where he was, those voices that were whispering in his cons

Braze's POV" Stop. Please stop. Please don't shout,I am not here to hurt you. I need help. "I was trying to tell her through my gruff voice but my words drowned when I accidentally pressed the hot water button in the shower. It didn't feel much when it fell on my back but the moment it touched her fair, naked skin, I could see scalding , instantly. Nobody could blame her when she went out yelling again, and screaming as I fought hard to stop the water that had caused all the mayhem. Within the next few seconds the guards were at the door, ringing her bell. She grabbed her bathrobe and ran towards the door knob. I don't know if it was the urgency of the situation or my new found abnormality, but I literally flew past her and held the doorknob before she could unlock the latch. " I am not here to hurt you. "This time I articulated perfectly. I fell on her feet but she jumped back, possibly thinking I was a perverted being. I should have been faster than my body and told her mor

Mira's POV" What's with these hot boys Mira. I thought you were like me. But you seem to be like so 'happening'. "Stella's nose zoomed in, in front of my eyes. I was lying on the grass, at the campus. The lawn was at the back, so I was just trying to get some fresh air, privately. The day was lost, trying to explain the incident at the police station. Our principal, Braze's mom, got involved and things took a little time to settle down. I, got dragged in the spotlight, along with him, for no reason.I was trying to peacefully watch the white butterfly hover all around me. These things never seemed odd, like the thunder whenever I was sad or the butterfly, whenever I was anxious. It was what I was used to, ever since I was a baby. What I wasn't used to, was Stella. She shoved me so hard that my poor butterfly flew away. " Come on. Tell me Mira. What's your secret. "" Leave that girl alone."I pulled my head up to look at who was speaking. It was my roommate. She was towering ov

Mira's POVI had no idea at this point if I was sleep walking or awake? I knew I was outside the gates of the students' residence, but I had no idea where I was headed. My eyes were glued on that fluttering light, my guardian my little butterfly. My legs kept crossing one milestone after another. I had no idea about my speed or direction. It was like I was in a hypnotic trance. I had no idea, I was standing on top of a hillock, overlooking the entire town. It was at this moment that my senses came around. Panic flooded in like ants around a honey drop. It was overflowing and getting out of hand. " Wh... Where am I? Why am I here? "I began questioning the chilli air. I pulled my phone out to dial Razzak's number but my phone was switched off. As soon as I pressed that button to switch it on, the wind snatched the phone out of my hand. Or was it the shadow? Was it even possible. It was at the edge of the hillock and I jumped to catch it, but fell. I caught hold of the phone but ha
