Kara stared at her ceiling hoping an answer would just appear mysteriously on it, but it was a joke.She wondered if she could avoid it, but then she knew she just can't. That curiosity spiraled in her to know. To just know.Makes her wonder exactly who professor Kenneth Hall is. The things he knows. And the answers she's really seeking seem to be in his palms.He happened to know more about her life, and it kinda sucks. But for some reason, if she wanted to know the truth, the whole truth, then going to him will be the next act.He was just so specific, especially about the fire monster that killed her parents. He was so specific.She narrowed her eyes suddenly beginning to try, and remember what her parents called the monster. She was sure he was called something.She sighed and decided to sleep. There's a long day tomorrow..."Don't face my wife, Gordon. Face me instead. Don't face my wife, Gordon, face me instead."Her dad's voice and her mom's cries kept going on and on in her

Hunter shook his head in anger at the man he came to meet. "What on earth are you yammering about?"The man gulped, let out a breath, and nodded. "Dos niñas. Vinieron aquí. Nos estaban mirando. Los enviaste? (Two girls. They came here. They were watching us. You sent them?)"Hunter shook his head in confusion. "No, no lo hice.(No I didn't.)""Creo que estaban investigando. (I think they were investigating us.)"Hunter furrowed his brows wondering about his statements. He wondered who, and somehow he got a thought. It was random cause he wasn't sure, then he brought his phone out, did something with it, and show it to the man. "¿Esta chica es una de ellas? (Is this one of them?)"The man immediately nodded. "Si. Si. Ella estaba. (Yes. Yes. She was.)"Hunter sighed. "Hmm. Okay. So, cuantas pruebas tienes? (So, how much evidence have you gotten?)""Todavía no he visto a tu padre, pero... (I haven't yet seen your father, but...)" He brought out a document and handed it to Hunter. "Robé es

"What did you get from your mom?" Emily asked curiously.Kara looked at her. "Did you know Layla was pregnant?"Emily furrowed her brows in obvious shock and shook her head. "No single idea, and she wasn't showing any symptoms."Kara sighed. "Well, she was. And whoever killed her knows.""They took the fetus?" Emily asked in disbelief and with a frown of disgust written on her face."Believe me, I was as disgusted as you," Kara told her.Zoey sighed. "I just...I just can't believe it. Layla just died."Kara looked at her. "Well, you better. We just need to find who murdered her.""To use to boost yourself at work, or because she was a friend?" Emily asked.Kara looked at her. "A friend she was indeed. Somehow, whatever got her dead, she was responsible."Emily looked away noticing her sarcasm about the friend part. "Well, she was my friend. I need to help.""Just do your thing, Em. Just don't go kill yourself." Kara retorted in a warning gaze."This isn't a joke, Kara!" Emily attacked

Nora blinked, her eyes teary, and her face pouted in sadness at Layla's dead body."By the look on your face, you know her." Her partner, Evan Griffin noticed.Nora nodded. "Layla Gates. She goes to Cap. U with my daughter. They're friends."Nora frowned at the disgusting sight and squatted in front of Layla's dead body. "Who..who the hell will do this?""Rogers, Griffin! I got an ID. Layla Gates." Officer Ross came to them with a purse.Nora stood up, and they nodded. "By the looks of that. Nothing was stolen."Officer Ross nodded. "Nothing at all. The coroner will be taking the body to forensics. Something was taken from her, we just don't know what."Nora let out a brooding sigh looking at Layla. "I guess that's one way to start the investigation. Who found her?""Let me take you to her." Officer Ross offered and walked.They followed him and went to the lady standing with other cops."Hi." Nora greeted. "We're detectives from the CCPD police department." They showed their badges.

"What if they find it, and find her, Ava?" Ken asked, worry laced in his voice.Ava shook her head. "They won't. It'll be hard to detect in her body.""But they'll feel it."Ava nodded. "They'll feel it's close if a searcher is used, but what they don't know is the inhabitor is not just any human. She's half among the dead, and half among the living, and it can only be found in her as a phantom."Ken blinked. "So, you mean it can only be clearly detected when she's a ghost?"Ava nodded again. "Yeah, Ken. If they have rights over the other side, then they can get her there. Luckily, it'll take time for them to realize that, and begin to figure out a way to get her to the other side, cause you can't kill what is already dead."Ken sighed. "I just...I still don't get it. How did she live?""I can only say she was split, but the story will be til when she comes. I told you I don't want to narrate it twice."...Emily looked at her roommate and sighed. "I don't really know why you're bei

Percillia frowned looking at her eggs. It was meant to hatch, but it hasn't. What's wrong?She blinked beginning to fire a million worst scenarios in her head.But then she shook her head. "It is impossible. They should know nothing can be done. There's no use. What is happening?"She looked back at the eggs with looks of worry evident on her face.What's happening?...."Thank you so much, Draco. You saved those dragons."Draco looked at Trick and shook his head. "No, I didn't. I just postponed their hatching period until I find a way to do what you want."Trick smiled. "You believe it's possible, right?"Draco nodded. "With a lot of incantations, I should be able to reverse the curse Glenda made on her babies. The dragons will live, and work for you."Trick nodded. "Good, 'cause I gotta go." Then he left Draco with the eggs.Arriving at the gathering, he walked to sit in his seat after bowing to the king."Why so late, Trick?" Gordon asked."Just taking care of a business.""From

RIELE'S POV.Blank, blank, blank.I'm devoid of thoughts, probably because I'm tired of thinking. I don't even want to think.Being here for five days, my thoughts didn't help. No matter how I tried to console myself, it won't matter, cause I'm still in jail.I'm trying incredibly hard to get used to my current situation, cause after all if you can't beat them, join them.But don't misquote me, cause that's just my brain's defense mechanism whenever I'm not seeing hope around me. That's the only way I can get used to this place without breaking out in a cry.It might seem I've given up, but there's always an ounce of hope, and when it arrives, I'll grab it, but when it doesn't, I'll just make it seem like I've given up.After all, everyone has their own ways of adapting to new surroundings, and that's mine.Sitting down with my legs crossed on my usual spot, which is on the floor, close to the bars, I looked to my left to see a girl staring daggers at me. Something she's been doing fo

DONALD CARTER POV.As a detective, I've never found things easy before. Every murder case is hard to crack which is the way it should be. But this Vida case comes too easy, that it alone is suspecting.Everything just seemed so connected, perfect, but suspect at the same time.Vida storming off. Vida kidnapped. Vida dead. Three things connected so perfectly, but still didn't seem right.Vida stormed off, and Riele followed. What happened between the two of them that Vida ended up kidnapped? How could Riele kidnap Vida? What did Vida really do to Riele that Riele decided such a fate for her? What's her reason? What's her purpose? It all just doesn't seem right.I only wish hope is on her side. Riele has no evidence that can at least counter one evidence against her.The message she said she was sent wasn't even found, but for some reason, I know she couldn't have lied about it.Although, it's unrealistic when she said she saw Vida alive. That would mean she's crazy, but one thing I kno

DEAN'S POV."Wow. So, this is the place you guys had fun." I said looking around in awe."Yeah. The place is very big. Jordan's family rented it." Dennis replied.I nodded, then looked at him. "Back to business. Did you notice anything that night after Vida left?"Dennis furrowed his brows. "What thing? I only saw Vida left, and I sure as hell didn't follow."I sighed. "Honestly, I don't even know where to start in searching for clues. This place is big." I confessed looking around again.The place is a huge land close to a beach, and I was told a really huge tent was built upon it. Jordan's family really did it this time.How am I really gonna find clues when they've completely tidied the place up?"But you must have come for a purpose. There must be something in mind." Dennis said.I looked at him and nodded. "Yeah. I wanted to know if there would be a piece of evidence that proves someone saw Riele with Jules the night Vida stormed off."Dennis chuckled. "Why not ask Jules?""Jules

LIZ'S POV.Nov. 10th. Tuesday.It was after school now, and all my mind could ponder on is getting to Riele's house in the hope of helping her. My curiosity kept my heart beating fast and impatiently.There are just a lot of things I wanna know. What can I possibly find out? To be honest, Jules's secret isn't the only thing I wanna know.I sighed and looked up to see we'd arrived at Riele's house."We are here," Karen stated the obvious.We walked closer to the door."Knock. Knock. Knock." Ashley knocked.We stood there without words as we patiently waited for an answer, but believe me, I'm not patient. I really wanna see the truth. Every truth that Riele carried on her head as a crown even though I know it's supposed to be hard, cause, after all, heavy is the head that wears the crown.I know it'll be hard though to deviate since the sole priority is to discover what Riele holds against Jules.Maybe if I was the only one, I'd have been able to deviate and look for other things.The d

3RD PERSON POV."Knock. Knock. Knock."He saw the door knob twist, then the door opened, revealing who he came to see."Mrs. Ortega." He said."Detective. You're here."The detective nodded."Come in." Mrs. Ortega opened the door widely, and he entered.Walking in, he stopped in his tracks and turned to face Mrs. Ortega.She furrowed her brows. "Aren't you gonna sit?"He shook his head. "No. I didn't come to sit. I just came to inform you of all that's going on." He told her."Is she finally going to court, so I can hire a prosecuting attorney on her?" Mrs. Ortega asked expectantly.Mr. Carter sighed. "Not yet. There are still more to follow up on. We need witnesses to prove if she's been weird since your daughter disappeared.""But she is weird. What are the odds that Riele is seeing my daughter's ghost? It is because she killed her, and is being hunted."Mr. Carter nodded. "That could help, but where it'll end her is in a psychiatric home."Mrs. Ortega shook her head disagreeably. "

RIELE'S POV.I couldn't help but stare at the man in front of me.Mr. George Black. A very famous lawyer, and Dean's father.Unbelievable, but I feel so lucky."I need to know all there is to know about your case, so I can defend you." He began.I nodded."Did you kill Vida Ortega?"I sighed. "I didn't.""Before coming here, I sought out all the information, and I was told about you claiming you saw Vida. Is that right?"I nodded."Do you know that could make you crazy?" He asked."But it's the truth.""You really saw her?"I nodded. "I won't lie if I didn't.""Do you have anyone to prove your statements?" Sadness overwhelmed me at the question. "No.""And there is no evidence to prove where you were on that Halloween night?"I sighed. "There is, but she lied.""You mean Jules Simmons, right?"I nodded."Why would she lie?""She doesn't like me, and I never liked her. We were actually quarreling that night." I said truthfully.He narrowed his eyes. "She hates you so much that she wou
