Jennifer was playing with Prince Damon, giggling aloud when a familiar figure walked into the living room. She was so engulfed in the playing with Prince Damon that she didn't notice the man and everyone kept mute and waited for her to look up. Prince Damon threw his ball at the feet of the man, she got up to go get it. Picking it up and standing straight before him, she couldn't believe her eyes - it was Cooper."Cooper? Is that you?" She asked, shocked and surprised. "Yes. Who are you? Why do you have Jennifer's scent but look like Helen?""You should have your seat first, dad" Ignacio said and he he turned at his direction.He wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words so he sat and waited for someone to explain what was going on until his eyes fell on Amber."Yes, you. You have been to the hospital and promised to tell me what's going on. Why do I look this old? The man that followed me down here said this is 2023 and the nurse said that I had been in the hospital
Two years later (a week to Amber's wedding anniversary.)Amber laid on the bed that morning, sound of metal clinging together, aroma of different meal and the chattering of people filled the air but Amber could hardly hear them. Ignacio turned to her and poked her nose."Hey, pretty. What's wrong? It's too early to have that gloomy look on""I'm not in the mood for jokes this morning, please" She said, still not moving a muscle."Why? What's wrong?""You're asking me what's wrong? Really?" She shot a sharp glare at him."Wow! Calm down, babe. I know what's going on in your mind but you don't have to think of all these. Okay, let's look at it from this angle. What if you were diagnosed with a terminal disease and you only have five years to live of which you have only one week left, would you just do nothing and stay in bed all day?""No!" She hesitated"That's the point. I'm sure you're going to live your life to the fullest, explore things and places you want to. So stop this and let
The day of the anniversaryAmber had woken up a bit sluggishly that morning, she was not supposed to spend the night with Ignacio since they planned to retake their wedding vows - it was like they were just getting married for the first time. She got out of bed, her hair was a mess and she sat in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection as if it was new. "Am I still going to exist tomorrow?" She thought to herself.It was 8 in the morning and the make-up artists were at the door but she wouldn't allow them in. She cried for hours before words later got to Maya and she went to her room and knocked on the door."Hey, baby girl. It's me, your mom. Please, open up" Maya pleaded as her heart ached.The door lock made a clinging sound, she later opened the door. Maya grabbed the knob, opened the door, and went in."Hey, child." She called out and took a seat beside her on the bed."I know how you feel but it's going to be fine." She assured in a shaky voice, she wished she had kept
Amber found herself in a dark, small room, standing and seeking help."Is anyone there? Help me, please. It's too dark here." She yelled for help, but nobody came.She leaned against the wall of the room helplessly, sobbing as she slowly bent down to give up, when she suddenly heard a male voice."You called for me, my Luna?" The deep, masculine voice came from a figure standing in front of her, stretching out his hand.Though she could not see his face, she was happy someone came to her rescue and grabbed his hand, and he pulled her up."Who are you?" Amber asked, trying so hard to see his face."I am your Alpha," he said, moving some steps backward with his hands spread out as his voice reverberated the room."I am your Alpha." The voice echoed again.Amber woke up, sweating and looking scared from the nightmare, but the look didn't last the next second as she shook it off."At least this is like the hundred and one time I'll be having this dream." She mumbled as she took off her bed
The lady in yellow walked back to the platform, and silence fell upon the hall as she cleared her throat."You all just had your first lesson," she said, and instant murmurs filled the air."That's enough now! I know you're surprised at how you learned your first lesson when you did nothing. Here in the grand hall, we possess the purest of hearts, but it is obvious none of you here have that. There's an odd one among you, and nobody tried to accommodate her?" She was interrupted by a female student, who raised her hand."She would have been accommodated if she hadn't dressed like a mourner." She scoffed, emphasizing the last word, blowing the gum in her mouth into a bubble, and the other students laughed."That is enough. This is why you're here—to learn. Each group would be given a room to share, while the odd would have a room to herself." Peyton, the lady in yellow said, stressing the word odd as she gave the female student a dead look."These ladies would be your guides and help yo
Though it was late in the night, Amber could not get herself to sleep. She sat on the big bed with her legs folded against her chest and her hands gripping it tightly. When she saw the tree branches swaying outside her window, she decided to take a walk. She slowly opened her door, peeped through to see the desolated corridor. She tiptoed out of the grand hall and corned by the left, where her window is facing. She found a concrete bench in the middle of the small garden, and she sat on it, going through the day's activities in her head."Just so boring," she lamented."What about a cup of hot coffee, then?" A voice spoke, and she trembled as she looked back; it was Miss Peyton."Miss Peyton, I'm sorry for coming out this late. I'll just retire to my room now." She muttered words subconsciously with her eyes blinking behind her glasses, but Miss Peyton gave her a smile."It's fine; you already violated the rule, and some rules are meant to be bent." She took her seat beside Amber and g
It was lunch time, Amber sat on the second roll in the hall, waiting for her turn. A cool, handsome and gentle looking guy sat beside her and tried to strike a conversion with her."Hello, I'm Adrian" He said with a smile and stretched out his right hand for a shake."And I'm hungry," Amber glared at his hand."Yeah, I know your name already. I mean everyone does, Amber"Amber adjusted herself and looked at the guy, "Since you know my name, why don't you find something else to do? Like shutting that mouth of yours" she retorted.Amber got her meal, ate and went back to her room. The weather was hot so she decided to take a cool bath to cool her head, still dressed in her towel robe, she decided to take a nap but she heard a knock on the door and hit her feet on the ground."Wait a moment!" She half yelled as she rushed to her closet and wore a baggy gown.She opened the door, her hand on the knob and half of her body resting in the door. She rolled her eyes and slightly hit her head a
The next day was another lecture day but rather than heading to the hall, Peyton ordered them to go to the garden and she intentionally delayed them. She wore a purple off shoulder top and a pair of black pant and a black sneaker to match."Good morning, students. You must be wondering why you're out today. Today's lecture is treasure hunt, treasures had been buried in the whole garden and we need to find it. Whatever you find will be your purpose here so let the game start" she had barely finished her words when the students chorused for joy and started the hunt."No partner?" Miss Peyton asked Amber and she nodded.They paired themselves as a group and began to look for the treasure. Amber was able to find a treasure box after a long time of searching. She eagerly opened the box and she saw a red cardboard cut in a shape of love, she looked at Peyton who bent over beside her."What's the meaning of this?""It means you're here to find love" her lovely eyes blinked a couple of times.
