Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Midnight Luna: Kabanata 191 - Kabanata 200

MIANighttime eventually came and even though I had been looking forward to it, now that it was here, I didn't want to anymore. The fact that I didn't know what exactly we were dealing with scared me. “Come on out, dear. We have a lot to do tonight. You don't have to be worried. Back in the day, this was sort of my expertise. Elara can testify.”Well, Elara wasn't here so I just had to take her word for it. “Magma, do you think it will work? I mean this thing, what's the guarantee? I can't live with this thing on my arm forever.” She nodded. “I know. This is the only way I know how to deal with something like this. Asides this, there is no other option. I had to go search through my books to make sure we got the steps right. We have only one shot at this. Let's go.” She walked behind me as we left the room. Everyone was already seated in the living room, the look on their faces, an affirming reminder of what was about to happen. They were nervous about it too. My father stood

MIA“Who did that? Who cursed you?”To the best of my knowledge, I didn't have the audacity to do that so he couldn't be talking about me or anybody I knew. “Your mother. I saw her. She said you have to forgive me first. Please, forgive me. I won't do it again. I was forced to, please!”My mother? That meant she had eyes on me? She knew what was going on with me? Her spirit was still here? “What did she look like? Tell me, I don't believe you. My mother has been dead for almost as long as I've been alive.”He was too distracted, itching all over his body and making sounds that didn't seem human. “I don't know. She told me she was your mother and she looked just like you. She said I shouldn't have messed with you. Please forgive me. Take this thing away from me, please.”That meant she was really still here and she had her eyes on me. She was protecting me. Despite being in this situation, it made me feel a whole lot better because it had to be the closest I felt to her. This conv

MIA“What were you expecting?”“I don't know, to feel different.” The sun was already high in the sky when I woke up, it was pouring into the room heavily and made me sweat. Seeing that I slept till this late, I was just telling Xavier that I was happy that I could get sleep but now that I was awake, I didn't feel any different. “Did you feel different the last time you had it?”Well, it had truly been a while since then but thinking back, I don't think I did. “No.” “There you have it. Come on, stop thinking about silly things and eat.”The maids brought chicken soup, perfect for a morning after a very cold night out. It must have been past midnight when we entered the house. It was starting to drizzle a bit but we were finally done with everything. The soup was really good and as it travelled some my lungs, it burned and took the cold away with it. It felt so good and coupled with the fact that the soup tastes really nice, it brought comfort to me. I was too busy engrossed in t

MIA“How much longer is this damn class? My stomach feels like it's about to implode.”Despite having most of my attention in the class, I heard what Mia whispered to me and it made me giggle. “You just slept for the first thirty minutes of this class and now you're hungry? Why did you even come?” I knew the answer to that question, she didn't want to come. I had to drag her with me. This class was always three hours long because for some reason, the professor thought that his course was the most important in the whole curriculum. So he thought instead of teaching us things we'd understand, the best solution was to go on and on for three hours, repeating the same thing in different contacts and using vocabulary too bogus for us to understand. I could swear that eighty percent of the words he used, we were all hearing them for the first time in our lives. “You know I hate this class. I always skip it. Why did I listen to you?” Truth was, I hated it too but we had to attend it in o

XAVIEREvery time I practiced,I had headphones in because it helped me focus and lock in. This time around, the music was on the highest because I needed to block some things out so I didn't hear anything going on around me. Not until she touched me. “Esme?” I dropped the ball, taking out my earphones. “What are you doing here?”I took a closer look at her and that's when I really saw her. She was crying and sweating and she looked very disoriented. Something was wrong. “What is wrong? Where is Mia?”It took her some time to calm down but she steadied her breathing. “Mia is still in class.”She told me everything that happened down to the point where she was sent out. My mood changed immediately and I glanced at my watch. “Did you say the class was three hours long and he told her to stand for an extra two?”She nodded. It was still ten am when I texted her. The time was now six pm. “Why are you just coming now? She's been standing for almost ten hours!”“He sent me to the
