Where did she go to?Couldn't she just stay still and wait for me to get back?I thanked the lady from earlier, before running out of there.I need to find her real soon.Where do I even start from?There are alot of people outside the mall. At first, I wanted to get into my car and search for her, but kicked against it.There's no way I'll find her like that.Taking a deep breath, I started from anywhere, asking anyone and everyone I saw on the road" No...I don't think I've seen her" a young boy said.This should be the tenth person have asked, and they all keep saying the same thing" Ahhhh" I groaned in frustrationHow could I have been so stupid?Where do I go next to look for her?

ππ Beautiful Mystery ππ ( Oceana )By: Ukinebo GloryEpisode 48Noah's Pov;I gasped staring up at her on the stairs.Her long hair flowed down her shoulders, and her deep blue eyes pierced into our soulsAunt Adele went to Mario's back immediately. If it were to be in another situation, I would have burst out laughing so hard.She paused at the stairs, staring at us three. Her eyelids neither moved none did her eyes. They were fixed on our skin" Is that your name?" came Mario's voice, breaking the depth silence that was almost consuming us.She remained still, not saying another word." Are you okay?" Aunt Adele asked, walking out of Mario's backMystery girl...sorry, Oceana still didn't say anything" You don't have to be scared alright. We are not gonna harm you" Aunt Adele said againShe stood motionless, one could easily mistake her for a statue.Aunt Adele walked to the stairs, walking closer to her.

Mario asked.I nodded, sighed and went to take a seat on the dinning close to him" And why aren't you dressed for school yet?" he asked again, arching his brows at me" I'm not going " I replied grumpily.He scoffed, rolling his eyes alongside.It's been two days now since the incident and Mystery girl was yet to wake up.I watch her day and night but there was no sign of her getting up anytime soon. If worries me alot. I don't wanna go to school because I fear she might wake up in my absence and might run away.I would never let that happen, not when she came to me her self - on a platter of gold. I didn't even go to look for her." Don't tell me it's because of that girl?" Mario saidI kept mute." Noah. The contest was ruined. It only makes sense that it will be reorganized" he said,but I paid no attention whatsoever to what he was saying.I don't care about

God!!I gasped and watched as she fell slowly to the ground, and then the smoke went out - making the atmosphere clear again.I rushed to where she was, laying on the floor - with my heart almost jumping out of my chest." Hey, hey.Fuck!! Hey, get up okay.Are you alright?" I shook her vigorously, countless times but she was still as steel and hard as a rock.Her skin was whiter and her body cold, like...like she's dead; but she's not. I could hear her faint breathe, almost like she isn't breathing.I looked back and saw they were all looking down at me...at us.I gulped, and turning her to her side softly, I carried her up in my arms and walked out of the field**" What was that at your school?" Mrs Adele shrieked at her son in disbeliefThey had gotten home. The entire contest was ruined because of a mere girlMario itched his forehead severally, trying to figure out w

New York. What should we do?" He smiled and thought for a while." We visit of course. We pay him a visit. How about his friend?" " Brian....Brian has been on the run and no one knows where he is. He's like he vanished into thin air. Why do you keep on looking for him? He's not the one we want - it's Noah" " You won't understand. Find Brian also.

I want to know what you have in mind - what are you planning?" she asked againI heaved "Oh, Mitchell! Alright, what are you also planning?. I know you're trying to get back at his girlfriend" I said huskily" By his girlfriend, you mean that bitch" she asked and I nodded.She sighed and flipped her hair to the side."

Chelsea rasped after waiting for her mom to say something, but she never did" Uhm...whatt girl are you talking about?" Mrs Welch asked , when the atmosphere was already getting too tense" The girl at the window...we saw a girl at the window when we dropped by the other day" Beatrice said." And we know she lives here, because we've seen her before" Noah said also" Where? Where did you see her?" Chelsea asked dumbfoundedly" The first day we came to drop you off. Noah saw her at the window but I didn't. At first, I thought he was just bluffing and stuff like that, because of the way he was going about it and describing her" Mario said" Oh, that! She's not really her sister. I mean, she's just a friend's daughter" Mrs Welch said and gave a short laugh"Really? Is she still in? Can I see her?" Noah asked, looking so desperate" Oh, dear! I'm
