Novel & Cerita Pearl X Marina

“Pearl!” Nagmadali kami ni Kuya. Hindi tumitigil sa pagtahol ang tuta kahit noong sinubukan ko itong kargahin. Nagpupumilit itong kumawala sa hawak ko. “Kuya? Tuluyang nakawala si Pearl. Mabilis nitong tinakbo ang dulo ng boardwalk kung saan nakatali roon ang fishing boat. Malakas ang kahol ng tuta kaya’t nagkatinginan kami ng pinsan ko. Sinilip namin ang bangka.

Selena asked, her voice low as she double-checked the surveillance blind spots. Ava nodded grimly. “If they’re smart, they will. I need every trace of La Rosa buried before that search warrant lands.” Selena zipped a black duffel shut, but before she could speak, a small voice drifted in from the hallway. “Why’s he still gone?” Both women froze. Pearl stood in the doorway, her pyjama shirt rumpled, hair sticking up from sleep. She held her stuffed lion against her chest, but it was the look in her eyes, big and wet and confused, that shattered Ava.

Marina did not answer immediately. That was its own kind of answer. She was not afraid of danger. She had walked into the Shadow Keep alone.

She frowned to see the bruised left on her right-side neck. It reminded her of Taggart. It was the first time that Taggart bite and sucked her blood. But this time, he left the mark. Sadly, Pearl couldn’t let someone acknowledge the mark. She was looking for something to cover it up. The makeup drawer was so complete that she could take any complexions or concealers.

She was silent for a good minute and then spoke up. "I used to have a friend in my old pack. I was around seven when I met her. She was wearing this kind of necklace, and she told me the tales about it." she started explaining with furrowed eyebrows. I listened to every word she said. "Her name was Charleigh. She was the same age as me. She said when she was born. Her mother put a necklace on her neck. It was a special necklace that was made out of 'disappearing pearls'... means it won't be shown to outsiders but will be visible in certain events. But I don't know when exactly... and you are wearing the same kind." she broke the news.
