He sighed hard and after a brief pause, said, "No, it's okay." "I'm grateful for everything you're doing for me."Matteo consoled him with a grin and a hug. "We have to preserve her," Matteo reassured him, "and it's not done yet." Professor Beth burst into the room, panting, with a jerk of the door.

MATTEO POV With a sigh, I awoke and looked around for Sylvie. The last thing I recall is that we were involved in a car accident."Matteo, don't move," urged my pal Reed."Where is Sylvie?" I asked. I'm attempting to ignore the discomfort of my wounds. He remained silent and his eyes was drawn to the ground. I stood up after removing the syringe from my wrist."Do you know where she is?" I questioned him again, panicked."She's in a life-threatening condition. Outside the room, her parents are waiting for her," he informed me of this. Hearing about her precarious health made my heart twitch with pain. I hurriedly exited the room, hoping to get a glimpse of her. As I approached her chamber, I noticed an elderly couple crying on the bench. They were Sylvie's parents, who were supporting one another after seeing their daughter's condition. Looking at Sylvie's outside the room, I maintained my hand on the window glass. She had an oxygen mask on her face, as well as numerous medical cable

When my gaze fell on Sylvie, I couldn't help but smile, as joy flashed through me like a comet."Matteo," she whispered, a tear streaming down her cheek. She wanted to take a seat, but her parents insisted that she lay down."How are you, dear?" my father inquired. Her parents were scowling as we stood at her bed."I'm fine, Uncle," she told us, a slight smile on her face. My father’s introduction broke the uneasy silence in the room."Good morning, Mr. Peter Thomas. Alex Lockwood, Matteo's father," he sa

Reed's phone rang as he received a call from Matteo."Yes, Matteo," sighed Reed as he awoke from my bed."Please open the door. I'll be there, "Matteo said goodbye and hung up the phone. Later, Matteo entered Reed's flat and presented him with the book."Professor Beth wrote The Untold Phenomenal Living.""Can you tell me about this book?""He wrote it after conducting research because it is about spirituality and witchcraft.

After returning from the hospital, Sylvie was resting in her bed. She still bear the scars of the accident, but the thing that hurts her the most is the end of her relationship with Matteo. She was unaware of the curse and had no idea that she would be separated from him one day. The door to the room unexpectedly opened, and her mum and dad entered with a tray of meals. She was enraged by them, so she averted her gaze. Her mom sat next to her with the tray on the side table."Please don't get furious at us. We're simply doing this for your benefit," Her mom stroked her face and tugged at the strands of her hair behind her ear. Sylvie averted her gaze from her once more, and this time her father took a seat beside her."Have you ever felt as if we don't love you or have failed as parents since you were a child?" He interrogated her. She was ashamed of herself for being angry at her own parents, who have been there for her since she first breathed in the world."No way, Dad. As parents,

With a mischievous smile, he says.Matteo nervously rubs his sweaty palms on his black jeans as he walks up to my front door, saying, "You simply roll your eyes and get in the car."

Third Person POVMatteo entered the dungeon's left route, which was lined with green branches and stems, and as he moved deeper into the road, he noticed a woman with long nails, protruding eyes, curled black hair, a scarlet robe, a ruby necklace around her neck, and a black stick with a skull on its head."Greetings, Matteo. My name is the Dungeon witch spirit, and I am your examiner." I'd put you to the test by posing three separate questions to you. "The first two would be riddles, and the third would be a choice between two possibilities," she stated with a smile. She tapped the skull of her stick with her index finger. He was examining her looks when she spoke up in the middle of his thoughts. "You may gaze me later, Matteo," she said, her eyes rolling in a circular motion. Though she was amusing, her features sent shivers down his spine."Should we begin?" she asked, raising her brows and focusing her pinner gaze on him. Matteo responded with a nod of his head, his gaze falling

He had to go through a lot of pain."Please, Reed, take a deep breath gently," Matteo cautioned. He found himself in a guest house room after a quick search. Reed inhaled deeply and reached across the table for a glass of water."The graveyard sweeper brought you here," Matteo grumbled. Matteo sighed deeply.

Reed POV(Flashback)Beep. Beep. Beep. I woke up to the sound of my alarm, 6AM. I had an hour before Matteo came to get me for school. Matteo and I go way back. We've been friends since first grade, ever since Bobby Keegan dumped his chocolate milk over Matteo's head and then I stepped on Bobby's foot and he cried. After that Matteo thought I was the coolest kid ever. I mean what other first grader would do that right?I rolled out of my bed and turned on the shower. The warm water ran over my body and I slowly began to wake up.Mia, Sylvie, and I finished our breakfast. Sylvie and I took turns taking showers and getting ready to leave. Mia decided to stay home and work on some songs. I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom and shook the water out of my hair. Sylvie looked up at me and her eyes widened when she noticed I was only wrapped in a towel."Oh, s-s-sorry, do you want me to leave?" She was stuttering."No, everything is OK.

Reed's point of viewI was rushing to get near the river before 3 a.m., so I was driving fast. When my car came to a halt in the middle of the road, Mia stood in front of it. When she blocked my way, I was already in a hurry. "Are you insane?" "What's the point of standing in the middle of the road?" As I stepped out of the car, I muttered. "I'm sorry, but I realized I should have assisted you with this technique as well." "I don't want to lose my best friend," she conveyed her displeasure with a gloomy tone. She may have changed her mind after realizing Sylvie's worth. I couldn't afford to waste any more time, so I grabbed her hand and dragged her inside the car. I was turning the car in each lane with a strong drive, and the darkness in the forest was already pumping my adrenaline. Suddenly, a cat appeared in front of the car, rescuing it from being hit by the vehicle. My automobile was spun 180 degrees and violently collided with the tree. My skull was struck, and the agony was

Matteo's point of viewStars twinkled under the dark blue sky, owls hooted, and the chilly wind's voice added to the eerie atmosphere. Professor Beth, Reed, Mia, and I stood in the centre of a heavenly circle, which was made of white powder and candles."These are all bullshit. I'm not going to get engaged in this nonsense "Mia's face was wrinkled up. Instead of assisting us, she was screaming tantrums because she was unwilling to collaborate with us. Has she forgotten that Sylvie was once a sister to her? Because of her unwillingness to cooperate, I was on the verge of exploding with wrath."If you want to leave, please walk out," I murmured, my lips twisted in disappointment. She didn't waste any time and stomped her heels hard.This is what she refers to as friendship; having an adversary is preferable to having a friend like her. Reed kept a slight smile on his face as he rested his hand on my shoulder. I returned his smile and hugged him tightly. Reed is a great example of loyal

Matteo POVI woke up from a familiar voice as I had urge to see Sylvie once. So, I walked out of my room and sauntered towards Sylvie room. I knocked on the door, but there was no response." Sylvie, are you there?" I called her but did not get any response. Therefore, I twisted the door knob, and opened it. As I entered inside the room, it was empty. Neither Sylvie nor Mia was there inside the room. I got panicked because Sylvie had already been trapped by the witch servant once. Without thinking, I started searching the entire guest house."Sylvie, where are you?"I yelled, raked my fingers in my hairs. Reed and Professor Beth come panic striken and glanced eachother."Why are you calling Sylvie?" Reed asked me. He furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at her room. He walked inside her room and came back with tightened jaw."Where the hell they are?" "I don't know. I came to check on Sylvie but both of them are not there," I gasped.

Sylvie POV"Please open your eyes, Sylvie," said a voice near to my ear. My head throbbed as I groaned in pain, but I gently opened my eyes and saw Matteo's face close to mine."Are you all right? Why were you screaming so loudly?" With concern, he inquired. His gaze lingered with anxiety and tenderness as he caressed my cheek."We have to get out of here as quickly as possible. In the storeroom, I noticed a clown. Matteo, he attempted to kill me," I sobbed. Matteo silenced me and encircled my neck with his arms. He ran his finger over my back in a circular motion, attempting to calm me down."Are you certain?" Mia said, her brows furrowed. How could I persuade them that it wasn't my nightmare after all? She drew nearer to Matteo and began rubbing his arm in circular patterns. Her proximity to my boyfriend bothered me."Did he say anything to you?" Professor Beth enquired, drawing my attention to himself. I attempted to recall the events and told him about everything that had happened
