Lying quietly on my bed, I flipped through the pages in the novel annoyingly. I no longer find the book interesting. I dropped the novel I was reading and adjusted myself well on my bed. The sounds of utensils can be heard downstairs. My dad is probably preparing dinner. It's not new since my mom is not always around to care for us. Should I continue with this game or just back away? I rested my cheeks on my palms and blew my hair. "No I can't continue with this game, it's a dumb game, it doesn't have anything to do with their death." I said breathlessly, trying to convince myself. The cheerful face of Zayn running around the room started playing in my memory. The weary face of Abigail drowning kept showing in my face. No, I can't let this continue. I need to put an end to this. I don't want any of my loved ones to die again. "Clarissa! Clarissa!! Are you okay?" I heard my dad calling behind my door I've been stuck In my room for the past two hours So it's normal for my dad

“I know you love movies!!” Nathan’s voice booms with bliss as we were standing before the gigantic building of “ROCK CINEMA”which was written in bold golden red prints. People was buzzing around the premises, couples holding hands, teenagers in pairs or groups, families and friends. Everyone on smiling faces, gisting and giggling. Rock CINEMA is a very busy centre and the most fun place to be. “So I brought us here,” I and Nathan both turned in sync to meet each other’s gaze. Time seemed to slow down as I found myself sinking deep into his forest green eyes, his eyes sparkling like emeralds. The smile on his face was like a beam of sunlight illuminating the darkest corners of my soul. He suddenly looks so beautiful than ever before and that brought tears to my eyes, once again my fear crawled over my body, prickling my skin. Fear for the realization that I love this guy so much, so much that the love is gonna make him a victim of that deadly game. Fear that the person I claim to love

Chapter 15Due to the stress I went through in school I couldn't think of anything other than my bed, my feets located the stairs and I climbed up to my room totally ignoring my dad who was resting on a sofa, he knows too much to even lay a complaint.Who would want someone to follow their shadow?Not my Dad, he had seen hell the day before and he wouldn't want to experience such again.I got to my room and fell on the bed, flashes of what happened in school coming into my head in round circles. Thoughts clouded my mind and I needed a breathing space, my eyes fell on my phone and I knew just who to call.The cell ring for a minute and it went off, I redialed it again and she finally picked it up. "How are you, Bethel?" I asked immediately, changing my sleeping position as I lay on my side."Just here, how are you?" Her voice was faint, I doubt she's ever stopped crying."Great!" Pftt! I shouldn't have said that, how can I be great at this moment, after.."I'm the only one at home and

"Clarissa!!!" Xavier yelled my name rushing to Royce's side."Royce! Royce!! Wake up, open your eyes" Xavier kept calling Royce continuously with fear in his face."I can't believe you actually did this to your friend Clarissa" the slut who was with Xavier said with a sad tone more like a pretence as she approached the unconscious body of Royce."Clarissa, what did you do to him?" Xavier yelled with fury in his voice.God what have I gotten myself into? How do I explain this? I asked myself trying to control the emotions surging through me.I didn't plan to harm him, I was just defending myself."I said,'' What did you do to him?"I shivered when the thunderous voice of Xavier echoes In the room making me let go of all the emotions I have been holding.Right now my face has been soaked with salty tears. I really don't know how to explain this to Xavier"I.. i... I...." I tried to let the words out but I'm too shocked to comprehend everything that happened a while ago."What is it, Cla

Chapter 19My eyes were already going inside their sockets, I wish I could crawl into my skin right now, the stares and rush of guilt feelings keeps washing creeps into my head.I would have don e worse if I were the parents but the slut's don't have any excuse whatsoever to put me in harm's way, I mean she was fucking there! Did she really have to spill it up on me this way!I am losing my mind and nothing is helping. The case is heating up in a whole new big chase and I fear I will end up in prison but that will only worsen issues. More people are going to die if I don't play that fucking game, I have just one level to complete and I'm all done, we are save!!!Can't they just think about that? How would they, when they know nothing about the unbuckling mystery."You evil child, you will rot in jail!!" Royce's mom spat angrily. She even stood up and grabbed my hair, giving me wimps I've never had.The police rushed to get her off me and her husband tried to calm her down. She was m
