“What do you want her to say? You already said it all, have you not?” Jade spoke, and Chad looked taken aback. “I’m sorry but did I ask for your opinion?” He glared at Jade. “If I don’t ask you to speak, that means that I don’t want you to speak. Is that clear?” Jade did not reply, he only snorted a laugh. “That’s enough, Chad.” Sam finally joined the conversation. He stared at Jade’s stomach for a few seconds and then spoke what was going through his mind, “There should be a wound on your stomach.” He pointed out. Jade cleared his throat and wet his lips. I could tell that he was trying his best not to look at me or hint at me in any way possible. He just sat there and stared right back at Sam. “I’m talking to you, boy.” Sam’s voice was surprisingly calm and collected. He had a spark of annoyance in his eyes and I knew that he could snap at any moment. I know that I did not want to accept Sam as my father but the fact remained that he was. He was my biological father and I was

I stared at him adoringly. I had a small pain in my chest though. I did not like the fact that Jade did not feel too comfortable about asking me to heal his mother. That was something that I would have done for him in a heartbeat. He had helped me in so many ways that I did not deserve. If anyone deserved to be healed, it would be his mother. “I don’t get why you were nervous about asking me that, though. It makes me feel a bit sad. Do you not understand that I care for you?” The beating of my heart increased and I kept staring into his beautiful surreal green eyes. He chuckled lightly, a sound that I had grown to love. “No, no, I do understand that you care for me. Or at least I would like to believe that you care for me.” He continued to chuckle. “Well, Mr. Sanchez. Get it in your head. I care about you, okay?” He smiled warmly. “Okay, Mrs. Hill.” He laughed and I joined him. “As soon as I am done with helping Sam’s wife, if I can, our next stop would be at your house so I can

I did a double take and chuckled dryly. “Wait, what?”The beautiful lady continued to pace the room elegantly and slowly. Her entire attire was white, and a certain white glow emitted from her. She looked like an angel, but in reality, she was the Moon goddess. “You’re now ready, Lucia. You are now prepared. Everything you went through has led you to this exact moment. Your heart and soul are now stronger.” Her voice was velvety and it was like a beautiful siren. I scoffed lowly and then proceeded to sit on the floor. When I was comfortable, I asked, “Why do you think that I’m prepared?” She stopped pacing and sat on the floor too. “No, Lucia, I don’t think you’re prepared. I know you’re prepared. You were once this very fragile and scared little girl that was characterized by her illness.” “You were in a bubble that your parents placed you in for the sake of your protection. You wanted so badly to burst out of it but the truth was that you enjoyed your little bubble. Sure, you co

Hunger gnawed at my stomach as I tried to find a way out of the vast forest. There were so many trees and I had no sense of direction. Eeir noises rang through the night and the cold was picking up with each minute. I was not barefooted, thank goodness. I was wearing the same sneakers that I and in when I got killed by Sam. I continued to walk forward but feared that I was not making any progress when it came to getting out of the forest. I needed help. But there was no one within miles that could help me. No one that I could imagine. Who would be out in that kind of place at a time like this? “Hey!” A voice sounded from behind me, causing me to almost have a heart attack as I jumped away. When I turned in the direction of the voice, I saw that it was a guy. He looked like he was middle-aged. He had a cap on his head and some weak wrinkles on his face. His voice was deep and in his hand was a torch. He then directed it at me, blinding me with light. “Who are you, and what are

It was not easy and took some real convincing to finally get Billy to fully agree for me to accompany him to the pack of his daughter and love of his wife. We both did not know what we were going to expect but we were excited nevertheless. He later showed me the bathroom, which was very clean and even looked a bit fancy. I was impressed that this man lived in the middle of nowhere with literally no neighbors, and yet had a really nice place.But what did I know? I did not know much about people who liked to live secluded lives. And so far, what I have learned was that this man was independent, strong emotionally and physically, very wise, extremely kind, and also very clean. After taking a shower, I dried off and went to the room that I was shown. When I entered, I could not help but smile. The room was truly the representation of a girl my age. It was obviously the room of Billy’s daughter. It was so pretty and I was mentally taking notes so I could do my room just like that if I
