CHAPTER 21: THE UNEXPECTED
Devon walked me home. I didn’t know that it was already midnight. The street is quiet and the neighbors are already sleeping. I feel so tired and my head is aching and until now I still can’t believe what I saw. I feel like I time travel to the past because I see what happened to them and why can’t they rest in peace until now. We reached home and the lights are already off and the door is closed but I know it is not locked because I am not yet home. I slowly opened it and looked inside. I am right they are already sleeping now. I looked at Devon who was waiting for me to kiss him goodnight but I feel like I don’t want him to go home because until now I can still see horrible scenes in my head that make me scared.
“Can you stay with me even for one night?” I asked him. I want him to sleep beside me because I am scared.

MORTEM CHAPTER 22: THE UNINVITED
Starting from that day, we want to look for an answer to my question about the girl. Things changed and I feel like I am not alone anymore. Not because I have Devon but I feel like there is someone who is always following and watching me. I feel like we opened a door from the past even though it was already three days ago. It is still fresh in my head and in my heart. The cries of the Olson and the girl; I heard it every night or even when I am alone in a silent room. The eerie sound of the car crash irritates my ears. The whisper of the mother that keeps on whispering in my ears and the laughter of the rapist while they are raping the child before they killed her. Makes me sleepless and restless. I feel like it will break my sanity if I do not solve her case as soon as possible.I stood up and took the incense from my cabinet that Luna gave me. I lit it up to calm my head even for a while an
MORTEM CHAPTER 23: THE FIRE
WE REMAIN SILENT. I am waiting for him because I know what he means and I feel nervous, excited and I can’t explain. I have this euphoric feeling because his sweet but flirty stare makes me sexy. The whole room feels hot and steamy. My sweat is coming out one by one. I can’t look at him directly because I feel uneasy and excited at the same time. He didn’t say a word but his silence and the way he stared at me says it all. I noticed that I was facing him with my panties showing up. That is why I immediately closed my legs, which makes him laugh and shake his head. He continued staring at me because he knows that I am melting by his stare. I am getting high because of MJ and I know he is high too. I can see it in his eyes that energize me by his stare. He makes me feel sexy, he makes me feel horny, he makes me wet but I need to hold it because I know this is not the right time. The smell of MJ filled the room and he stood up to lock t
MORTEM CHAPTER 24: THE RESEARCH
After what we did, now it’s time to focus on our project. We need to research our subject and document it. We went to Luna’s house because we wanted to do it there. We want to ask Luna’s help with our subject. I know it would be easy for her because she is an expert in connecting to the dead. We brought our cellphones, laptop, pen, papers, and anything that would help us in our research.“Yes?” She asked when she opened the gate.“Oh the love birds,” She said and she was surprised to see us because she didn’t expect that we would come.“Can you help us… again?” Devon asked but she just looked at us and “Please” Devon begged.“
MORTEM CHAPTER 25: THE HOUSE
Our gorgeous friend Luna, let us borrow her car. Good thing that her car is orange and I don’t have a fear of riding in it. I didn’t know that Devon could drive. He cannot just drive me crazy but he can drive a car too and he will be more handsome because of that. We prepare the things that we need and I bring cash for the gas. I sat in the passenger’s seat. I buckle up and Devon does the same too. He turned on the engine and he turned on the radio too. The song matches us. A beautiful song by Stephen Speaks, “Passenger’s seat”. He started driving and he started singing too. It became more beautiful when he started singing it. I didn’t know that he had such an amazing voice. His voice is so relaxing when he sings. I close my eyes while facing the window when I suddenly remember Jayvee.
MORTEM CHAPTER 26: THE MEMORY
I told Devon everything that I saw when I was inside the cabinet. I know it might sound weird to him but I understand even me, I found it weird too but I saw what I saw. I also told him that the girl’s name is Cassandra and she is not dead but I am not yet sure about that, because I just saw someone take her away from the burning car and that’s it. That’s the end of my vision. Devon is silently listening to me while driving back home. He didn’t have any reaction to all that I said. I don’t know, maybe he is too focused on driving me, while I am facing the window while telling him everything about what I saw. I feel so tired and I feel so down right now like I have an emotional need after everything. I told Devon about the group of men who raped Cassandra, that their faces are familiar to me because I saw them clearly now, but he doesn't have any reaction about that too. Maybe because he is driving that is why it is not si
MORTEM CHAPTER 27: THE REVELATION
I went out of my father’s room to ask my mom about my whole life because I want to know the whole details of it. I want to hear it from her since I already know the truth. I put my notebook and the cutter inside my pocket because she doesn’t need to see it. I am ready to know everything now because for all my life I have been living a lie, and it is hard for me to believe in what I saw. I thought it was just my visions but it is my memory. MY LOST MEMORY.“Mom” I called even though I am not sure if I have a right to call her mom, because I know she is not my mother. She looked at me silently but I know deep inside she is asking “If I need something”“Mom” I called again while holding my tears, not to fall.“How did you fi
MORTEM CHAPTER 28: THE ORPHANAGE
I went to the Carmelian Nuns Orphanage because I want to know my life there. I want to know who brought me to them to complete the missing pieces of my life. My second mom and Devon don't know about it because they don’t need to know. Especially my mom; she is not part of my past and I don’t want to involve her. It is enough that she answered some of my questions and it is my obligation to figure them out. That is why I am standing at the Carmelian Nuns orphanage, where they adopted me.I took a deep breath and stared at the orphanage. This is it because I am now standing in front of it and in a moment I will know the missing pieces that I want to know, for me to connect it together that will make me complete. I searched for the nun who manages the orphanage and her name is Sister Carmelita Deus; she will be the one who I will look for because I know she knows something abou
MORTEM CHAPTER 29: THE BUS
I cannot erase in my head what the Mother Superior said about Jayvee. I am surprised to know that I have already met him since we were little and we have the same orphanage. Well I didn’t know that he was adopted too. Mother Superior is not going to lie to me that is why I believe in her. She also showed me a photo when we were little and yes, she is telling the truth because Jayvee showed his photos to me when he was young and it looks exactly the same in the photo that Mother Superior showed me. I regret knowing about it. I feel like if only I could turn back time I will never let him go but that is life. It is meant to happen because it was meant to happen.I rode in a bus and I sat near the window. I am going to my old house and I want to stay there for a moment. I want to recall everything that I missed because I really want to complete my life. This is my first time riding in a bu
