Chapter 4
LEENA'S POVI sat over the fire with Dad. My Dad,I've so missed him that it makes my heart ache right now.
"Do you want bacon Dad?" ,I asked and he looked up from the paper he was holding.
"Bacon?,since when did you know how to make Bacon?"he asked looking at me strangely.
"I....i....emm...emmm...Rick taught me",I lied,a very stupid lie but don't blame me,Rick's the only name I know here.
"Rick?,and since when did you become friends with him?"
"Dad....we're not friends,but I mean,I'm just em.....uhmm..",i shuttered not knowing what to say.
"Are you alright Ariana?",he asked softly.
I smiled,a little tear flickee from my eye,I've missed this fatherly voice. I've missed my Dad carrying me fondly,I miss having a parent.
Dont even talk about my mom,she's worst,really worst."I'm fine daddy.....I'm really fine"I said smiling."Here puff in some",he said handing me a stick of cigarette.
I almost jumped up in shock.
"I....I don't smoke Dad!",I half yelled surprised at him.
"You don't?,since when Ariana? You've always smoked to stay calm since your mom died,so what's wrong now?",he asked.
"I smoke Dad,but I'm not in the mood,I'll just go make bacon",I replied quickly getting up and moved outside.
" Ariana?",he called out.
"Yes dad?"
"That's not the way to the kitchen".
I froze,i don't even know where the kitchen is around here.
"I....I forgot the way,I'll just go left",I said turning to go back into the house.
"That's not still the way",he said.
I turned to look at him and I could see confusion in his eyes.
I exhaled softly."Dad,could you show me the way to the kitchen?,I'm emmmm....having a little headache".
He nodded and pointed towards a direction of the house. I quickly got there and exhaled deeply.
I need help,I need someone to educate me about who Ariana is,what type of person is she?it's really hard being someone else.There's only one person who can help and that's Rick,it has to be him. He's the only one who understands.
ARIANA'S POV
"You still don't believe you're Leena Rashford?",the guy asked."I'm not Leena,what's there to believe?"
"Follow me then!",he said and started walking away.
I gently followed went after him.We got into a large roon,computer filled,this mansion is big indeed.
"What's this place?",I asked looking around.
"Identity room. Here,I have prove that you're Leena Rashford",he said.
Then he spoke a code and the computers activated.
"First we'll run the voice print,say anything into the computer,it will identify your voice to be Leena's voice".
"What do I say?",I asked confused.
"Say anything"
"I miss my mom!",I yelled into the computer,it beeped.
"PRINT CONFIRMED",the robot voice said.
Maxxy or Rick,whoever he is looked at me and I shrugged.
"Two people could have same voice",I said defensively.
"We'll run the hair print",he said simply.
"Hair print?"
"Yeah,lower your hair into the computer",he said and I did.
" PRINT CONFIRMED ",the robot voice said again.
"Now the eye print",he said and I gave him a funny look.
"Eye print?",I asked suppressing a laugh.
He flashed something into my eyes and it still confirmed the goddamned print.
"Now the finger print",he said.
Two people can never have same finger prints right? That means I'll prove him wrong here.
I put my index finger on the printer,fully assured that I wasn't Leena Rashford.
But then...The robot still said"PRINT CONFIRMED?!!!!!"
A short information appeared on the computer screen.NAME: Leena Rashford
AGE: 20OCCUPATION:MusicianORIGIN: Zino cityCOUNTRY CODE NUMBER: 00210GFF.I stared at the computer screen,scared and shocked,I know I'm not the one,but how could our print be identical?
Where am I?Am I Leena?,but....but...i.."Still don't believe?",the guys voice jolted me back to reality..
I looked at him softly and shook my head in confusion
"The truth is.....I don't know who I am anymore".
(Author's POV)...SIX YEARS LATER..."Get back here Ariana!",Leena yelled at her 4 year old daughter.Little Ariana laughed nonchalantly and ran off making her mother go after her laughing too.She was every inch just like her name sake Ariana Williams.Max and Leena had gotten married after two years of being separated from Rick and Ariana.They both lived at a far away town,where Leena was not totally recognized as a musician or super star.Their marriage was what you could call a blessing,with a beautiful daughter.But Leena was never totally happy. She wanted more than anything to get a chance to see Ariana and Rick again.She wanted Ariana to meet her goddaughter who they had named after her.Above all, Leena missed her father.Leena still didn't know her mother's way about and she sincerely didn't want to know. To her,life was better now,at least she could live according to her own will.
Chapter 28 ARIANA'S POV It was finally departure time.We had spent the past two days together. Laughing, joking, talking, making plans.And we knew it was the last time. We had to depart seeing how dangerous it was if someone discovered us. Last night,Max had proposed to Leena in front of us. It was the loveliest proposal I ever saw and she agreed had to marry him. They both looked at Rick and I in expectation but we simply shook our heads,'No'. "You both have no plans of being together?", Leena had asked surprised. "No!",Rick and I chorused. I smiled and held Rick's hands. "We've been through a lot together Rick" "And we've been such stack enemies for a very long time,it'll be hard to develop a romantic relationship between us",Rick concluded. I nodded in agreement. "But we both have decided to be the best of friends. Being held together by these in
Chapter 27 RICKS POV As I watched Ariana cry,I couldn't stop myself from being thrilled at the turn out of events.Here I was, standing in front of the one person who had hated me all these years for an accident I wasn't responsible for. Someone who hated me for merely existing.For going to that blueberry forest on that single day.Someone who hated me for being me. It was hard now to finally let go, I've always wanted this to happen but right now,it's turning out to be hard.But I knew I had to let go, what's the use letting her cry? Non of this was her fault, and those dark years we spent as enemies was nearly my fault.If I hadn't gone to the forest that day to hunt,I wouldn't have shot her mom by mistake, even tho she was dead. I moved closer to her taking her hands, sincerely, meaning it. "It's alright Ariana,I'm not hurting anymore", I said a
Chapter 26 LEENA'S POVThe door burst open!Max ran in accomplished by armed men.I didn't know if I was to be relieved or even more anxious."Don't move!",they commanded.I looked at Zuoka,the monster was smiling at me,the gun still pointed to my head.Slowly I turned to Max and shook my head. He'd shot if they moved an inch."Dark.....it's all dark...",he whispered on.Max stopped the men from moving to avoid him shooting me."Desires...dark Desires brings dark death!, and dark death leaves u with Everlasting torture, your soul ruled by unending sorrow and hatred for the life as a mortal", Zuoka kept whispering incoherently.I couldn't make out what he was saying at all,untill I heard the gun shot. I thought I had died. I waited for the pain to come but it didn't.Slowly,I opened my eyes to see Zuoka on the floor,blood stained on h
Chapter 25 ARIANA'S POVIt was almost an hour gone.We lay low waiting patiently for her to come out,but she didn't.I began to panic seriously."Do you think she's alright?"I asked scared."I don't think so anymore",Max answered picking his phone."What are you doing?!", I yelled."Calling the cops of course",he replied."Ask them to come undercover and lie low for now. I don't understand what's going on",Rick said.Max nodded and soon,the cops would be here. LEENA'S POVI couldn't believe what I just heard. He killed Ariana's mom?It was him all these while,I was yet to come to a perfect understanding of what was happening. The revelation was just too much.I opened my mouth to say something but he signaled me to keep quiet."The story is still longer child",he said smiling devilishly at me.
Chapter 24 ARIANA'S POVLeena has been strange. She hardly stayed with us while we made plans on how to catch the traitor.Throughout the past 3 days she was locked up in her room counting time as tho waiting for some thing terrible to happen to her.After a while we made plans on how to get to know what her problems were."Guys, we've got to find out what's happening to Leena", I said over breakfast.As usual,she wasn't with us and this was the very third day of her strange attitude."I'm getting scared for her",I muttered."She might be going through a lot""If she's going through anything,why can't she confide in us?", Max said.Rick was quite for a while before snapping up suddenly."Look, she's escaping through the window!", he yelled.We rushed and saw her making to run out of the gate, I opened my mouth to yell her
