"Ramona Phillips! " Principal Sudley yelled into the microphone. Ramona stood up from her seat and walked to the stage as a dazzling smile formed on her face. "Congratulations." Principal Sudley said as he shook hands with Ramona. They exchanged smiles and took some pictures. Ramona walked back to her seat and nodded at the congratulations being thrown at her. She had managed to snag the best graduating student of the year and she felt very happy since all her hard work and sleepless nights. After the graduation ceremony, a group of her friends came to her side to congratulate her. "Mona!! You did it!" Jules, her best friend, exclaimed as she pulled her into a hug. Ramona chuckled as she wrapped her arms around Jules. "I know, Jules. I'm so happy. " Ramona said. Her other friends had left and now only the both of them remained. "I'm happy too. Hey, how about we celebrate later tonight?" Jules asked. "Hell yeah! Let's–" Ramona began b

RAMONA'S POV Contrary to what everyone thought, I didn't abort the pregnancy. After I ran back into the room that day, Aunt Farah marched into the room and forced the truth. At first she was startled and a bit vexed that I lied to her but she later calmed down. Together, we all went through the nine months and then I got my precious gifts. Speaking of my gifts, where are they? It's been 5 years now since then. I now have a boyfriend and 2 kids. "Mom!" Maha and Aiden yelled as they ran into my arms. "Naughty children!" I greeted my tiny twins. I had come to pick them up from school since I was free from work today. Maha stretched her puny arms up for me to pick her up. I chuckled as I grabbed her and steadied her on my hip. I grabbed Aiden's hand as we walked to the car. "How was school?" I asked them. Aiden kept quiet as he kept walking. He was the quiet one out of the two. "Mummy, school was wonderful. We did a lot of things today." Maha replied as she went on to give me an in d

Ramona gasped as she stared at the figure before her. Her hands found the light switch and she put it on. "Where are the rest of my family?" She asked, glaring at Dimitri. He put up his hands in an 'I surrender' way. "They're at the back. Something about grilling." He said, nodding off in the direction. Ramona walked to the backyard and glanced outside. She sighed in relief when she saw all of them standing beside the grill, laughing about something. She turned around and without sparing Dimitri another glance, walked up the stairs to her room. "You really think I'm a criminal?" he asked, following her. "Yes. A serial killer, to be honest." Ramona replied, shrugging. "Please. If I wanted to kill you don't you think I'd have done it since." he asked as he stood beside her bedroom door. Ramona walked to her closet and pulled out a t shirt then answered him. "Well, you could have other plans." "Rape? Please, red. You're definitely

In two different rooms, different events were happening. Secrets were getting revealed and suspicions were being awakened. But there was only one room that was paid close attention to. The strange figure that laid against the door suddenly disappeared immediately it heard footsteps from the other side. Now he was sure. Now he knew what to do. It was a Sunday. Most families go to Church on Sundays but Ramona's didn't. They weren't such a religious family. They preferred doing their own stuff inside. Ramona groaned and rolled on her bed as she tried to force sleep on her. "Ugh!" She screamed into the pillow. Ramona tugged at her hair then sat up against the headboard. All her aunt had told her yesterday was replaying in her head over and over again. Her hands found the crystal shiny pendant around her neck and she rubbed it. "The earring is meant to awaken your powers. The pendant is something passed down from generations. It helps to control and grow your

'Push... Push harder' the voices in Malina's head screamed. Malina slowly opened her eyes and saw a translucent light ahead of her. She stood and walked towards the bright light. So bright was the light that even royalty as pure as her couldn't bear to see it. For sure if Batista came near it, he'd burn. Malina looked around her and listened to the chirping sounds of the birds. A rarity in the current Xanthoria. Malina sighed and sat down at the stump of one of the trees. "Hello there." a male voice said, calling out to her. Malina looked up and squinted her eyes at the passer by. "Russell?" She asked, standing up quickly. Tears formed at the base of her eyes and she blinked them away. "What are you doing in Xanthoria?" "Dear wife, you're confused. This isn't Xanthoria. It's Xanthoma." Russell said, wrapping his masculine arms around Malina's small frame. Malina's head snapped at this. Xanthoma was the hereafter. Where all dead Xanthorians go. "Am I dead? I can't be!" Malina yelle
