CHAPTER 12: PART 2

Melisa’s P.O.V“I'm worried. Who was that girl in our son’s room?”“Michael I'm talking to you” I repeated, he seemed to be lost.“I don't know” He shrugged his shoulders going to our son’s dresser.“Maybe we can find something that can tell us who she really is, and how she knows our son” He continued rummaging through his drawers.“Enough!....” it was too overwhelming.“I can't take this anymore”“I don't know what's going on too” Michael exclaimed embracing me.“Why do I feel so empty inside?” A question I didn't see coming pondered my mind making me jittery.We had been sitting on the sofa for what felt like forever. I looked at Michael, he wasn't the best husband, but he was there for me. I shook my head and stood up, and left for my room. I didn't know why but I felt really

CHAPTER 12: PART 3

THE NEXT DAY The next day felt different. Hopeful, so to say. We had been sitting in the lunch tables for what felt like forever. My eyes were scanning each and every one, taking in information. I was a good listener, just a weird one. No one noticed, but I could focus on so many things at a time. I was deep into multitasking. “Yo, you good, you look dead tired, like you haven't slept for days?” Suddenly I was taken by that simple act. It seemed she noticed how I would zone off from time to time. ‘Why is she nice to me?’ “Dude, you are my friend now, for better or worse” she shocked me more, like she read my mind. ‘She looks genuine enough to trust her...’ TWO YEARS LATER “Hey…..you know you do that a lot” “What?” I acted oblivious. Cie just shrugged her shoulders and started walking. It had been two years since I’ve known her, and she still asks what’s bothering me, every time I go silent. ‘I think it’s about time I tell her everything’ ‘Are you sure?’ my conscious barge

CHAPTER 13: PRESENT, ME?: PART 1

Max's P.O.V ‘You ever wonder why you, because I do!’ I huffed. ‘I am sitting here, wondering where to next. I mean, Cie practically threw me out of the window. Maybe it was her father, he got the best of her, as usual, but eventually she will show up, I'm sure’ I was still worried though. ‘I need to stay out of sight for now. I mean, those men, they can find me anytime. I need to find a place to lay low, until Cie comes looking for me, or maybe I’m just lying to myself, and she won’t come’ I strolled to the next big tree I saw, to lean on it. ‘...but, I have to come back here, to make sure she doesn't miss me’ I turned and looked at Cie's bedroom window. She wasn't there, I could tell. I waited for a minute, just hoping I to see her pop up at the window, but she never did. ‘Mmhh...I need to leave a message for her then. She’s probably just busy’ I crouched down and took a stone that was small, and turned to a log that looked like it had been there for decades and wrote on it

CHAPTER 13: PART 2

Max's P.OV‘In my mind, it feels I'm constantly running. Like today. It never stops. I know it seems meaningless to wonder now, but I’m sure things could have been different if he was around. I forgave a long time ago. I didn’t want to hold on to hate, that might end up poisoning me. The way my mother treats me, how my father left, the residue left by their treatments, they were my scar, and reminder of how lonely my life is’‘Wonder how my mother is right now! Why do I bother anyway? She denied me as her daughter the last time we saw each other, but where will I go? I don't know who to turn to. Well, I know there is God, but didn't he give us people and family as companions?’ I shook my head realizing I have never felt anything but responsible.‘…so why do I feel that they are rather my responsibility than companions?’‘Ohh, how it hurts when someone doesn't see nor act oblivio

CHAPTER 13: PART 3

Maya's P.O.V “So tell me, what I am missing Sebastian? What is it that I don't understand about you showing up, here?” He looked troubled and in deep thought. “Are you sure you want to hear this?” He asked giving me a wired look. “Look, you are wasting my time. I'm sure you think telling me a story will make me want to go back home, but I'm sorry to say I'll disappoint you on that one” “I know why you left, and I understand why you don't want to go back there but....” “Sebastian, just cut to the chase, Ok! I don't want my life's history, all I want to know is why you are here, if not for us” His demeanor was confusing, and I wasn't ready to invade his mind yet. “Alright! “Thank you” I sat down next to him. “I'm all ears!” I motioned he went on with the story. “First of, I must warn you. This is a fable, but I feel it might to be true” I laughed at his seriousness. He seemed surreal about

CHAPTER 13: PART 4

PRESENT DAYMaya's P.O.V“Sebastian, I was there remember? I wasn't even young to forget” he was dragging the whole story.“Yes, but you were never outside that day. You do not know what happened next”“What do you mean?” he caught my attention.“When the Oracle got outside, you remember my great grandfather left to monitor the dining?” Sebastian inquired creasing his eyes together.“Yes, father asked that he foresee if food was prepared” he was consistent with dragging me along with him. It was taking forever.“Indeed, but surprisingly when he got to the feast he found out that the oracle had told some of the people of Redland the same story” “What story? This is dreading Seb...”“Patience!” He hushed me.“The story was about a child who would be born touched by God. T

CHAPTER 14: SO IS LIFE: PART 1

Max's P.O.V My mind was fuzzy. I had been waiting for the elevator to open for minutes. ‘Why can't it open?’ I arrived at my destination, not sure how I got there though. “Oh, Max. Jeremy says hi...” “Johan, nice to see you, hey Jeremy” I waved “He doesn't get it does he?” Johan inquired looking at Jeremy, then back at me. “Nop!” I waved one last time, then shifted my gaze back to Johan “He too desperate. It's not cute” “I know! Can you occupy him while I try running away from his stare. You know if I don't leave he'll come here, and he will start talking nonstop, until...” “…until you reach your destination. I know. Anyways let me help you with the elevator” Johan took out his card and opened the elevator. Only to find a couple inside the elevator making out. “Mmhhhh!” Johan murmured. I just laughed and felt bad for them. ‘Johan can be crazy at times’ “You two out!” He pointed to the couple. “...you in!” He pointed at me. He was authoritative like that. Too nice

CHAPTER 14: PART 2

Maya's P.O.V “Ummm, where are we going now?” Sebastian kept glancing outside the window as we passed the streets. It seemed he wasn't sure about the destination either.“There are some flats they said I will encounter up the heel” he confirmed my thought dismissively. “Who said?” I was still pressing matters. He was glaring ahead not giving me a second chance, not even a glance.“I think this is it” he motioned as he packed his car.“Shall we?” He asked as he tilted his head outside to look at the building.Yeah! And I didn’t forget that he ignored my question, I just chose to let him be. I wanted to see if his story was going to pen out.“Yeah, I think this is the place” He locked his car after we got out, and tossed the keys to his jacket pocket.Suddenly I felt dizzy. It was like I was about to puke. I held my waist as my other hand leaned on his car. “My Q....Maya are you alright?” Sebastian questioned as he held my back rubbing it a bit. It wasn’t helping in any way, ins

CHAPTER 14: PART 3

Max's P.O.V We were rushing through the corridors. Sam had decide to follow me, for some reasons I didn't know about.The moment he saw me leaving he followed.“Why are you following me? Damn!”I was agitated by his presence. I didn't know him that well. I had so much to deal with, than to deal with him too.For all I know he could be with them.“Ding!” The elevator opened.“Wha…” Maya's P.O.VThe elevator doors opened revealing a unique face. A face that intrigued me more. “There...”Sebastian took off running chasing after them. I just stood there dumb folded. It was like I couldn't move. My whole body felt heavy and warm. Max's P.O.V‘It's them. Wait, Miss Johnson!’“Run!” I turned to Sam to give him a heads up.

CHAPTER 15: THE BEGINNING? PART 1

No one's P.O.V “I. need. To…” Sam was trying to catch his breath.“Listen, I need see your boss” Sam tried getting attention from the lady in front of him, but it was no use. She was too engrossed to entertain him.“I’m sorry Sam, your father is busy right now. He's with someone important” The woman pointed at the door to the chief police’s office.“Listen Wonder....” Sam tried reasoning, but the woman in front of him wasn't having it. She was adamant on her responses.“Sam...” She huffed looking tired, realizing that Sam wasn’t going anywhere, nor was he promising not to bother her.“...you should take a seat” she finished, clearly not interested in what the young man had to say.Sam decided to obey and take the sit he was offered. Whilst sitting, he was busy fidgeting with his fingers, like he was about to break them. As he sat, his nerves got the best of him. He looked down, his right hand rubbing his palms. It seemed they were sweating, he was suddenly rubbing them on his trouser
