Fifteen years later, the ghostly town was still haunting the residents of the town by the blood howling screams of the witch, which was burnt alive on the main square church.
Since she died, nothing beneficial ever happened to the town. Youngsters were committing suicide, children were died due to endemic diseases, the older ones were getting rotten but still roaming alive.
Everything was terrifying but what caught the attention of the town was the story of the ‘burned witch’ which was spread like a wild fire in the dense forest, to the nearby towns, and from there to the big cities.
People from different parts of the country visited the ghost town to capture the story and most of them to see the ghost of the witch. However, it turned out that it was a rumor of seeing a ghost of that witch but the town s
AlexisThe sun rays fell over me and I woke up from a late sleep. My head has been throbbing since last night and hasn't let me sleep properly. I wanted to run away and escape this hell but when reality slapped me, I came back to my senses and realised that I have to work for a living. Glad it was a day off and weekend. But from Monday, I have to teach Stefan again.To be honest, he creeped me out last night. That sudden change of behaviour was scary to me. I got used to his tactics and tantrums, but when was gentle and caring suddenly, I got more worried. People hide their intentions while pretending to be something else. Would it be the same with Stefan? Why am I even thinking about him? I had no time to think about useless people like him. It was a wonder that he was able to pass his preliminary exams. But I doubt that it will be the same in finals. Ho
AlexisAfter pouring my heart out with tears in my eyes, I felt lighter and better. Of course, the truth was harsh and unimaginable but it was true in the end and there was nothing that I could do to change the past.Anyway, what happened in the past will remain in the past and it shouldn't affect the future. I forgive Aunt Sol for what she did to me. Because she saved my life. She was an orphan and lost her family, and that moment she found a family in me. She nurtured me when I was in comatose after getting severely burned in the forest fire. The most toxic thing was that I had no memories of my past life.Since Aunt had admitted that she adopted me as her niece, there must be a possibility of having my parents or any family member alive. But I can't leave everything and search for them.
AlexisMy head was still throbbing and I couldn't breath inside this room. Sometimes, I wondered why I felt being watched when there was no one around. To clear the doubt, I have looked at the whole apartment for hidden cameras and didn't find anything. So, I shrugged that feeling off my shoulders and got ready for the lecture. Since this morning, I haven't been feeling well. Not that I was sick or anything, but I had an intuition that something wasn't right. Should I be more careful or just avoid idiotic thoughts running in my mind. All the time I walked up to the conference hall, I was busy talking to myself, of course in my head. I stood at the door, breathed in and out several times and mustered the courage to open the door.Again, it was a surprise to see Stefan in the room, earlier than me, but there was a smug face. He looked kinda pissed. But then, my gaze fell on Me Donovan, standing just a few metres away from him, studying one of my journals I left in the hall in last clas
AlexisMy heart was racing abruptly and i was suffocating. My lungs were burning when I gasped for air but my windpipe seems to be blocked. I rushed to the balcony and felt relieved when the cold blow of air passed through my lungs. This sudden accident, how did it happened and why? How did I dream when my eyes were opened? Was it a glimpse of a memory? Maybe that was my memory of the past? It was so intense that I subconsciously set the hall on fire. And the worst, Stefan knows that I have powers. What will happen now? First Elsa and now Stefan, I am afraid my secret will get revealed to the king as well. What am I supposed to do now? I can't run away or escape, or just leave this whole place and live somewhere where no one knows me. The trauma of finding out that I was an orphan and no whereabouts of my biological family, wasn't enough that I had to deal with these new issues.I kept breathing in and when I felt a bit calm, I turned around and went back to my room. Suddenly, my ey
AlexisIt was a beautiful day, if you were keen enough to look at the world outside, however, it took the mind of someone different to find out that it wasn't actually a beautiful day, just a normal day with different hues in the sky. I wondered how little things can change someone's perspective.But if you ask me, my perspective doesn't change because I know nothing has changed and it never will. It was the same day with a different shit to deal with. I was pissed when my eyes met with a brown pair of orbs. His big specs hanging over his ears and eyes darted at me. My night was wasted and my day started with awkwardness. My head was throbbing but he planted a smile on his face and greeted me politely."Good morning, Alexis. How are you?" I still recall the day we met and his eyes were cold but I could see him getting much friendlier and gentler. But why was he here?"Karl, what are you doing here?" I asked him instead of taking his greets."Oh… I came to check if the hall was furni
StefanStomping away from the hall in frustration, I barged inside the room and slammed the papers she handed me on the table. That was so annoying. She purposely did it. How dare she? All this time, I was suffering alone and found someone in her, someone I can call mine but she rejected me. She doesn't feel anything for me.Why, why Alexis? That girl who was supposed to be a human and hated me, now she ended up being a creature that I don't know. Infact, she doesn't even know who she is? But then, I remembered that conversation she had with father at dinner that night. She said that she lost her parents and memories seven years ago.Seven years ago, I lost my mother too. That storm which destroyed many villages and towns, it could be possible that she was a survivor. She also admitted that she has lived with her aunt since then. That woman must know something about her. I need to see her.Because Alexis is in danger. Yesterday, before the finishing team arrived to recover the damaged
StefanThe silence of the night was admired when it was the loudest in the dark. Sitting inside a warm house and sipping on a delicious coffee, I won't say that it would be one of the best nights out for me.Her eyes darted at me and observed each of my movements. The moment I saw this woman, I knew she wasn't ordinary at all but that doesn't mean she wasn't a human. She was blessed, just like her name, Solace.After the last sip of the coffee, I put the cup on the table and smiled at the woman standing near the couch."That was delicious, does Alexis make the same coffee?" I asked her."Heir of the Donovan family, I don't understand why are you here? Surely you are not here for a cup of coffee…" her suspicion rose on me."And that's what I call, humour mixed with intelligence. Of course, I am not here for a coffee, after all…" I started while looking into her eyes.She grabbed the tray and put it in the sink. It was late at night and she must have been tired from work but I will apol
StefanSilently, I went inside the castle premises and was about to take turns for my wing when I accidentally bumped into someone. I growled and glared at the person and was stunned to see him roaming in corridors at this hour. I never liked him. Though, I hated all the humans but he was worse than them all. I don't understand how he made it to become managing assistant of my father."What are you doing here?" I eyed him with suspicions.He was shocked and pale, I guessed he was roaming here on purpose but what could it be?"Prince Stefan, I was serving my duty at this hour. But I am amused to see you here. Were you out the whole night?" He crossed questions the same way instead of answering me properly."It's none of your business. And I don't want to explain things to a human like you. And next time if you questioned me like that, that will be your last day, Karl Ernest. And I remembered that your service timings end after ten o'clock so, what exactly are you doing here?" I crosse
