Chapter 16
Lucas led us through the dimly lit forest in sure steps with Adrianna walking beside him intentionally sashaying, she was obviously proud of the fact that it was her man that was bold enough to take the lead.
Lucas walked like he had been in the forest before, like he was used to walking through dimly lit and scary forest probably full of shadows waiting for us to come near before they devoured us.
As we went deep into the forest murmuring started to rise, people were starting to get less scared because we had been walking for at least 2 hours and nothing had happened yet.
The only sign of living things were rabbits running around the thick bushes at the sight if us.
Adrianna still stayed stuck at Lucas's side and I wondered how long she'd do that before she actually gets bored and move to talk t

I shivered so bad that Lucas had to pull me closer, he glanced down at me in his arms and raised an eyebrow, quietly asking if I was alright to which I nodded.I looked back to the spot where I had seen the weird creature, the thing I saw couldn't be human.There was nothing there but it felt like I was being watched,like we were being watched."Are you sure you're okay?" Lucas's question pulled me from my thoughts. I was probably behaving weirdly and I could see he starting to worry."Yeah, it's just-- I'm cold. Yeah cold." I lied. It wasn't actually a lie since I suddenly felt chilled to the bones."Oh, hold on for a moment then, we should set up the camps soon its dark after all and this place keeps getting creepier but no worries okay? I've been in forests even late at night and there are no such things as witches or wizards or vamps." He chuckled.He said that to calm

A sudden chill started from my spine and worked it's way up my neck. I sat up from my stiff position on the ground disturbing Irena in the process. I was too preoccupied with the apprehension that something bad was about to happen to apologize to her. I looked around slowly, not to fast to warrant an attack in case there were some things waiting for a movement to attack. And I saw them. A tiny gasp, which I barely caught left Irena's mouth and I could see them stir. The forest around had plenty pairs of red laser like eyes. I could guess that the creatures probably thought they were well hidden while keeping an eye on us but they must be some dumb creatures if they didn't think their eyes would give them away so the only way out for us is to try to outsmart them or we become fast food to them. I turned back towards Irena who looked about to pass out and motioned for her to stay quiet. I gestured with m

The sun was setting. People were rushing, rushing to get home.To people who they haven't seen for the past 8 hours.Some rushing back to the kids waiting for them at home. And others rushing back to their spouses at home.Some to their friends who lived with them. Friends like families.They were all rushing back to people who loved and cared for them.A family who would welcome them back home with open hands and smiles and probably would have a dinner set for them.But I?Nah, I'm not that lucky.Well it's not a surprise, I've always had bad lucks. The people around me have always made it their job to remind me that I'm a bad luck.Even my own mother died after my birth, I guess my bad luck affected her too.She should have just aborted me.My father tells me that every

Miss, wake up'.'Madam says you should come down for dinner'.I woke up to the sound of my door being banged accompanied by the shouts of the maid, Zina.'Miss, please wake up or madam will get angry'.'Okie, coming I'm coming. No need to bring my door down'.I heard her giggle and I rolled my eyes.'Zina?'.'Yes ma'am?'.'How many more times do you want me to tell you not to call me miss or ma'am before you'll actually listen to me and stop calling me that?'.'Err-- I'm sorry ma'am. So sorry'.'There you go again'.She giggled once more. Sometimes I wonder if I'm that funny or she just finds everything funny.'You should get ready,--- Maya'.'That's better. Now go tell 'Madam' that I'm coming right away'.&

The hall was bustling with people. They were all hurrying about. Trying to do their various works.I made my way the receptionist sitting behind the desk. She looked in her early twenties.'Good morning'. I greeted.She looked up and surveyed me. She scrunched her nose up in disgust, probably not satisfied with my dress. But I've gotten a lot of that so it doesn't affect me anymore.'Good morning to you too'.'How can I help you?'.'I-uh' I cleared my throat.'I'm here for an interview for the post of an accountant. Can you kindly lead me to where it's supposed to take place?'.'This way please'. She led me through a narrow door I didn't notice before and it led into a bigger room where at least fifty people were seated waiting for their turn.I turned to thank the last for her help but she was go

Then I went to cupboard area to change my clothes.

Yawn! Splash!That was me splashing water on my face and trying to wake at 6 in the morning.I just don't get why life has to be so hard.I don't have a particular place to go for an interview but I just couldn't give up. I had to keep searching if I don't want to end up with James.Thinking about that made me shudder.I don't know a fate worst than having to end up marrying James.Except from the fact that he's a spoilt brat. He is a popular womaniser.I still don't get why some women are ready to be in a bed with someone that looked like that all because of money.I looked at myself in the mirror imagining how we'd both look on the altar, swearing to be by each other's side forever.Geez, I don't even wish that for my greatest enemy which happened to be Sadie.Ar

I've been trying to locate the building but all my efforts has been in vain.Maybe the job ad was fake and was put there by an insane person.Why the hell would they put a fake ad on a bill board?Was it a trick? Maybe they thought nobody in their right senses would want to apply for a job that makes it clear that what they're doing is dangerous.I shook my head to that thought. Surely I can't be the only desperate unemployed graduate.Did they move to another location?But the ad looked new.And even if they moved to another place at least the old building should be there.They didn't move the old building too. Could they?Definitely not.The only building I've see so far since I've been wandering this particular street I didn't even know existed is an old manor with pealing paints and gates that looked like that of
