GiannaMy eyes slowly unwind to an unfamiliar room. I could feel the weakness down my legs. I tried to lift up my body but the pain the visited my head made me revert my back on the bed. “Your body is still weak” I heard Adelaide’s voice from the door. The dropped the tray by the side and squatted on the bed. “What happened to me? Why am I here?” I asked. Last time if I could remember I was sleeping in my room after Cindy left with the plates. I don't recall anything else. “You’re here because you're sick. Master Valen brought you here. They can't handle you there” More pain visited me as I managed to lift my body up to look at Adelaide.“Why? I was fine earlier” My eyes followed her action towards the tray. “Here. Drink this” A confused expression danced on my face. Just the smell of it is making me want to vomit. “What is it?”“No question. Do as I say if you want to get better” With my hand covering my nose, I took a sip of the liquid substance. However, it didn't finish digesti

GiannaThe plan was to clear out the weed from the farm and tidy up the farm. I know she told me Valen doesn't like anyone touching his farm. I don't know what's the reason. It's not like we're going to poison the plants. To be honest, I brought up the topic of the farm so I could check around the places. I know I'm not supposed to poke nose in matters that doesn't concern me. I can see how angry he was when I suggested he look for another person that will find a cure. Like, why would someone waste his life like that. I know sometimes it's hard. You might want to give up, let go of everything. I did the same when I realized I won't be able to get out of the place. I lost all hope and wanted to disappear from the world. But later realized something. Life doesn't always threats us good. We are bound to experience tough situation one way or the other. I'm sure deep down he has the hope of getting free from the curse. I feel like I can relate to what he's experiencing. Having to let go

Valen. I was the first the battle of staring that we ventured. I had no intention of telling her. It's better if she doesn't know much about what’s going on around. “Eat first” I said. Her eyes widened. “What! I though you're going to tell me something” She said following me up. I stood on mid stairs turning around. “Are you going to follow me to my room?”“Yes. I mean no but you will tell me about it right?” She said. She's still hell bent on knowing. I don't know why she wants to know about me so badly. Only if she knew not knowing about it is better. I heaved out a sharp breath. “Yes. Don't pester me” I turned around to walk away when she spoke up. “I’m not pestering you. I'm not some bug” Mu mouth was left open as I watched her walk away. As I crashed on my desk, I intertwined my hands on the table and went into a deep thought. Basically, about the pearl. If I can recall, Adelaide once spoke about the black pearl being a strong item. How did it get to Gianna’s hand? I know she

ValenThe words penetrated from my skull down to my body. I felt her words deep down. We locked gaze. For the first time my heart beats abnormally. Not like how it normally do. "I'm sorry I don't mean to trouble you or poke nose in your personal life. But I heard it all from Vito" She said casting her head down. I wasn't able to grab what she mean. "And I'm sorry for troubling you all these while without knowing what you're facing" Something was pulling me to touch her but I stopped myself. I don't think it's appropriate for me to do that. I don't want to give her the wrong impression. But then something about her eyes is pulling me in. Just like that I moved my hand forward and grabbed her cheeks. "Now you're admitting you're a troublemaker" A frown spread on her face. She jerked her face away rubbing off the place. "Must you pull my cheeks" It's not like I assert too much grip on it. A chuckle escaped me. "I felt the need. It's looking soft" Her eyes widened at my statement. "

GiannaMy hands slowly made their way to his face. As my hand got in contact with his skin, it went together with the escalating of my heart. His eyes slowly opened and we locked gaze. Our eyes were fixated on each other without blinking. Some part of me was warning me to pull back another part of me was pulling me in. I was about pulling my hand when he held it our gaze still locked. "How are you feeling?" The way he said it made me melt in his touch. "I'm fine" I muffled out. "No pain anywhere?" He asked stretching his hand to touch my neck. I was quick in shifting back coming back to my senses. We shouldn't be doing that. "Yes. I'm fine. No... Pain" I stammered moving away on the accord discarding the covers from my body. "What's happening to me? This is second time I'm having that seizure?" it's surprising how I lost all control. And when Adelaide apply something to me, then I will be back to normal. I will first fall into a deep slumber. That isn't something ordinary. "You s
