Dark Matter (Unknown Origins Book 1) 4 – The Blind Girl
A few minutes later, the best friends were on the unrestricted side of the river, splashing water on themselves, swimming about, and playing around the river. Later that afternoon, having exhausted their energy, the girls sat by the stairs at the riverbank, basking in the quiet serenity. “ Uh! Chesa, I almost forgot about your family, where are they?” Dolly asked. She had thought that they were traveling with her parents, but didn’t care to ask about their whereabouts till then. “Huh, you’re asking that right now?” Chesa asked, the smile suddenly disappearing from her face. “ Yeah! It skipped my mind.” “ Umm… Well…” Chesa stammered, “that was what I wanted to tell you in the taxi” “Chesa?!” Dolly exclaimed with a sinking feeling in her stomach. What incredibly stupid thing did Chesa do this time? “ It’s just us. They are not aware that we’re here.” Chesa said, flicking an imaginary speck of her arm as she stared out into the river. “ WHAT!!!!!!!” Dolly exclaimed, not wanting to
Dark Matter (Unknown Origins Book 1) 5 – Stay Alive
Halfway to the hotel, Dolly asked. “Oh my God, Chesa! I did give you my luggage, right? “Relax, I’ve got it.” Chesa answered, hands cupped under her chin seemingly deep in thought. " Thank God!" Dolly replied Onwards, the boat rode the gentle waves of the river, eventually exiting it through a tributary and beaching on the shore of an islet. By then the weather had gotten rather gloomy, as the skies became overcast and the waves broke on the riverbank. " What did that old man tell you?" Dolly asked as they got out of the boat with their luggage. " It's nothing," Chesa shrugged. They hurried through the concrete path surrounded by a lush garden to the main hotel complex. Approaching the receptionist, they were asked to show their booking confirmations. " We bought it online. But I'm not with my phone here." Chesa explained. " That's not a problem," the receptionist replied, with a smile. " Could you tell me the e-mail account you used?" She continued, typing something on th

Her heart pounded as if it wanted to explode out of her chest.“ Hi, good morning cuz,” Kent greeted, standing by the doorpost with a kind smile on his face.Althea gingerly lifted her head and stared at him quizzically.“ Wha….what are you doing here? ” Her weak voice asked shakily.“ Well, I just wanted to give my favorite cousin her breakfast in bed. It’s your favorite,” he said and sat beside her, showing her the beautifully made dish lying on a glass plate, her favorite, beef tapa.Not quite the answer she expected, Althea thought. But she was too drained to try and probe further. Sitting up, she hugged a pillow to her chest, and docilely allowed Kent to feed her.“ Aw… You should see how cute your fac
Dark Matter (Unknown Origins Book 1) 7 – Hope And Fear
The Mayor puffed heavily as he ran frantically into his home. Inside, the house was a complete mess showing all the tell-tale signs of a struggle. Around the living room, utensils from the kitchen was scattered. A knife with fresh blood that seemed to drip from its evil blade lay ominously in the center of one table.“ Maria!! Maria!!!” he called his wife in a great panic as he climbed the stairs, racing towards her room.Everywhere he looked, all he could see was blood and death. What looked like arterial spray covered the walls like a psychotic Jackson Pollack painting. Puddles of sticky red blood pooled around the bodies of his maids whose necks had been slashed indiscriminately.His cold, clammy hands shook as he gingerly walked towards the room’s door, blood splashing on his trousers.“ Ma…ria?” he called again, struggling to keep his glasses on his shivering sweaty face as he turned the door’s handle and slowly pushed it open. He hurriedly locks it while turning slowly fearing th

Dark Matter (Unknown Origins Book 1) 10 – Vicious Uncertainties
The sun settles on the horizon, slowly giving way to the unsettling darkness of the night. Chesa still hasn't told Dolly a thing. She couldn't bring herself to tell her friend about the dangers they were in no matter how much she begged. After all, she was the one that brought her here in the first place. Khent found himself a tree branch to rest on. His heart was heavy and he kept thinking about his cousin. There was no way that he could return home to her already grieving father without telling him the whereabouts of his daughter. He held his face in his hands and wept bitterly regretting getting panicked and abandoning her there. He would have carried her on his back as he ran.
