"Shyne, what is the matter with you? We've called your name three times already. Are you alright?" I snapped out of my hallucination when Perry touched my arm a bit harder than expected. I felt like I was losing my mind, and I began to look straight at Brixton and Rex. "I'm sorry, I was in deep thought, and I thought I saw an insect near my leg, so I just froze, but it was nothing." Perry saw right through me and gave me a look that told me we would discuss the scenario later when we got home. I always tried my best to change the subject and focus on the task at hand, which is separating Rex and Brixton. "Why are the both of you so tense, Brixton? Seriously, you look like you don't even wanna try the white chocolate

"Hey sweetheart, did you miss me, my love?" I screamed, but my voice was stuck in my throat, and I felt a chill run up my spine as Rian walked closer to me. This time, I clearly saw the damage that the rope did to his neck. The flesh was bleeding, and it turned both purple and red. This time, I heard footsteps running in my direction, and I felt relieved when I realized that those footsteps were probably Perry and Kath's. They must have felt that something was wrong or that they heard Rian's voice.  "Now that you have her, Rian, make sure she doesn't get away from you this time. It will be a pity if you have to sacrifice more for her to be yours." The voice was demonic as if it was multiple men with hoarse voic

"Shyne, hey, you have to wake up, sis. Mom and dad are here, and they want to talk to you before dinner starts." I realized that I had fallen asleep while checking out my old stuff, and Izzy was now back and shaking me. "Okay, okay, I'm up. Sheesh, I thought there was an earthquake with the way you shook me. You could have just tapped my arms or cheeks gently." I had bed hair, and as my eyes scanned my bed, I saw that I moved a lot in my sleep. Based on my dream, it wasn't a surprise that the bed was a mess. "Well, forgive me, little miss sleeping beauty. I was too busy screaming your name outside your room to get your attention. Since you never bothered to wake up and respond, I already assumed I had the right to w

“Come home by tomorrow. I saw a note from Rian in one of your weird time capsule boxes. I think I know how you can fully, or at least partially get rid of your undead stalker." Izzy read Perry’s text aloud as I was waiting for her to help me decide what to do.   "I can't go home tomorrow because I promised mom and dad that I would go to church with you and Alister."   "Okay, sis, we are going to figure this out. However, right now, I need to sleep to figure something out properly. The Church has three services, so you don't have to worry about being late."   I relaxed a little at Izzy's nonchalant reaction. I decided to just decide in the morning and message Perry when I do.   "Hey, Izzy? I never thank you enough fo

I woke up with the sun shining brightly outside my room's window. I felt great for some odd reason, and I chose to ignore it."Well, looks like our sleeping beauty had no nightmares last night. I hope that this continues on throughout the entire day."Perry was smiling ear to ear as she brought me breakfast in bed. It was an odd thing, but I decided to believe that she might just be happy to get a good night's sleep for once."Well, I can't say that I'm complaining either. I feel like I haven't had any good night's sleep for ages."Perry gave me a plate of omelet, rice, a glass of water, and hotdogs. Everything looks appetizing, and I felt myself salivating."By the looks of it, Perry, I'm guessing you decided to cook me breakfast because you got the beauty sleep that you wanted. I hope you sleep well every day so I can get the perfect breakfast in bed from you every single day.""Well, I could do that a few times if I'm in a great moo
