Chapter 14
RICK'S POVIt's been raining recently and Leena has escaped like a mad woman under the rain as usual.
I went in search of her,combing the streets and walking towards the blueberry forest. Maybe she saw that man again and followed him.
Suddenly there was a thunderbolt,and its dangerous to be out when its bolting so I hastened my footsteps.
There were no trails or footsteps for me to follow so I resorted to calling her name but she didn't answer.
I kept searching till I saw something that made my heart skip.There were blood trails on the ground,but the rain was washing it out slowly.I quickened my steps and followed the trails till I was almost at the edge of the forest,that was when I saw her,in a pool of her own blood. She looked lifeless and when I checked her pulse,she wasn't even breathing.Still shaking out of fear, I picked her up
Chapter 15 ARIANA'S POVMax was so upset that I wanted to go alone into the blueberry garden to find 'answers'.We both had gone together to the garden but I wanted to go in alone."You can't go there alone lunatic. Who knows, whatever happened to Leena might happen to you"."I'm Ariana Williams and I'll be fine",I insisted."Have you also forgotten?, same thing happened to you in your world"I sighed,he's right. Same day,same time, almost same venue."I should come with you""No!,you can't Max. This is my problem and I'd like to fix it alone. I need to think straight, maybe I'd remember exactly how I got here""Ariana...",he began to insist but I interrupted him."You just wait for me Max,if I stay just too long, you can come along""Will you be fine?",he asked concerned."Why not?, I'll be good. Just wait ok?"He nodded and I ran off into the ex
Chapter 16 ARIANA'S POVLeena was here?,in Zino village?Is that why nobody searched for me?Why was Rick looking for her?,did she get familiar with him?Where is she right now?I ran home to find answers to the questions buzzing in my head.Getting home I ran straight into my room.What I saw made me believe Leena was certainly here.The whole room smelt of her rosy scent, just like in the room at Zino city.Not even a pack of cigarette was in sight. My bed was well arranged but there were some drugs neatly tucked beside my bed.So she really got hurt?I turned to the wardrobe and gently opened it.pieces of paper fell from it and I bent to pick them up.Opening the first one,what I saw shocked me.She and Rick had been writing to each other and from the look of things, they get along
Chapter 17 MRS RASHFORD'S POV(LEENA'S MOM)My phone beeped early in the morning. I was still on bed trying to enjoy the calm sleep so I didn't want to pick it up.The beeping got even louder, I stretched my hands and took it up annoyed."Private number",was the tag."Who is this?", I asked upset."Me",came the calm reply.I froze at the voice, I didn't need to be told who it was,the familiarity rang in my ears stinging me deep in the heart.It was him, wasn't he supposed to be dead?,how did he even get my private line.I hate him so much. Can't he just die?, I wanted to break free from him,to free myself from this dark past,but it wasn't just working."Wh...what... do you want again?", I asked stuttering in fear."You think I'm dead don't you?",he asked and I heard him chuckle."How d
Chapter 18 MAXXY'S POVI stared at Ariana's picture wondering where she is at the moment. Did she find her way home?Was she really from another world just like Leena said.She wasn't looking any different from Leena,same eyes,same face,same body like twins but their vibes were totally different.She was the craziest girl I ever met.I miss watching her smoke and chew chocolate.And the kiss we shared was different from anything I ever experienced before.I caressed her pictures gently."Where in the world are you Lunatic?",I said to the picture.Suddenly the door burst open and Leena walked in looking distraught and crazy.She's been emotionally down since she got back. Visiting the garden on rainy days and returning with puffed red eyes. She cries just a lot these days.The other day I had carried her away from the garden,she was sitt
Chapter 19 ARIANA'S POVFor several minutes,I felt lost in her eyes, like I was staring at myself.There was just no difference between this lady and I.I've seen her pictures and heard her voice, but seeing her here, physically was quite scary."Le...Leena?", I asked trying hard to stabilize my voice."Uhm, Ariana?", she asked back.I gently loosened my grip on her,looked around again to ensure no one was in sight."What the f**k are you doing here?", I yelled."How's Dad doing?", she asked back again."Dad?, whose Dad?, I'm asking you what you are doing here. Why didn't you just stay right where u were?",I fired at her."Just answer me. Is Dad alright?",she pleaded."If you're asking after my Dad, specify!Remember he's 'my' dad not yours,get used to that idea first"She looked kinda hurt but I didn't care,the truth hurts.
Chapter 20 ARIANA'S POVRick had found an inn at the end of the village and that's where I stay disguised as a nun.I and Leena took turns to staying at the inn.Today Leena was meant to come exchange with me, but she was taking too long to arrive and I knew Rick was the one delaying her,those two were just so anonying.The door suddenly opened and the inn keeper walked in giving me her usual suspicious look,the old woman was full of cranky creepy attitudes and I don't like her much.This time she walked in and still looking at me,she began sniffing the room.I just lay on the bed staring at her drama."I smell cigarette",she finally said turning towards me.I quickly stood up and getting ready for the scene about to play I too began sniffing around."Did you say cigarette?",I asked sniffing around too."Yes!,I'm certain of the smell""Holy Mary
Chapter 21 ARIANA'S POVI woke up with start as my head buzzed with new memories.I was going to the blue berry forest,I saw a man,a body and it was raining.For a moment I held my head tight as it was a bit painful. I thought I was going nuts,but then as soon as I calmed down,I figured my half lost memory was back.Throwing myself up from the bed,I flew to the palour where Dad sat beside his usual fire place."I remember everything dad!!, every bit of it!", I yelled without caution."You remember what?",he asked gently giving me an unsure look.Then I got hold of my senses,Dad wasn't supposed to know about this."It's nothing actually Dad. Emmm.....I ghat to go.... please!" And throwing the door open,I ran off.I heard Dad yelling something at me but I didn't care to stop,I ran all the way to see Rick.When I got to his house,I knocked impatiently
Chapter 22 LEENA'S POVIt's been three days of waiting for the rain. And today it finally rained.The three of us set out to the forest and soon, we were at the garden in my world.Rick felt like he was still in Zino village,I didn't blame him though,I felt the same at first.Anyone could feel like that."What do we do now?",Ariana asked."I'll call Maxxy. He's our hope now", I said picking my phone up.I did and soon,he arrived with a car.The moment I saw him approaching I ran towards him.He engulfed me in a tight hug."Where have you been Leena!,I searched for you",he muttered."Max...I'm sorry I left,I had to",I whispered disengaging from the hug.He looked behind me and looked back at me."She... Ariana...You both.... you both came here?",he stuttered.I nodded."Wait, who exactly did I eve
