My head hurts. What happened? Ah... "Is anybody out there?" I heard my voice echo. It is dark—too dark that I can't even see anything. Ahhh, I hate horror, you know? If this is a prank, well, this is not funny! It was as if I were walking in an endless corridor. I have been walking for a long period of time. I decided to stop for a while, but then... A tiny bit of light suddenly sparks from afar. I didn't hesitate to run and chase that light. Ahh, finally, there's a light. As I get nearer and nearer to it, it suddenly turns dimmer and dimmer until it doesn't resemble any light at all. "No! No, no, no... please don't." The light was starting to fade. It then explodes, making a green-colored light. Green... I suddenly remembered that it was his favorite color. I laugh at myself. Why have I been thinking of him up until now? He doesn't even care about me at all. I closed my eyes. Kianna, when can you be freed from this illusion? When can you accept the reality that he isn't mean
I can't help but laugh. I tried to collect myself and hold my laughter, but I just couldn't! Right in front of me is Kieffer. I mean, Francis. He is just... covered with mud. From head to toe. What happened to him??? He looks just like a... grasshopper that jumps in a muddy puddle. Pffft. I looked at him, and he was glaring at me. I raised my right hand and made a peace sign. Wait.. What am I doing? Ever since... I fell unconscious. I can say that my body feels lighter than before. Just like... a yacht finally letting go of its anchor and setting sail in the sea. Ahhhh, I love what I'm feeling right now. Francis finished wiping his face using the towel given to the staff earlier. I just continued eating my meal—okay, fine, I faked eating. Fine? I can't focus on eating while someone is in that state, right? I wonder why he looks like that. The staff from earlier came back hurriedly, saying, "The bath is ready. This way, sir." I sipped my coffee and tried to avoid his gaze,
It was Warren. I smiled and nodded. "Yeah," I replied. We walked to the area where they put the tents. On our way, we talked about things like "You still paint?" I asked. He is still holding his drawing book. Yes, he does have tablet computers, but he still sticks to the old-fashioned way of drawing things. "Yeah, but I focus on my w*****n work. They already approved the contract, and we just signed not too long ago." I smiled. In no time, his works will be known all over the world. I can't wait to see him achieve his dreams again. Still, I can't help but be curious about the thing he is holding. I was about to ask him if he had already met the girl she had always draws before. But maybe I should save that for later. Eventually, I will be the first person to know who she is, so I'm not that curious. On our way, we saw Patrish waiting for us. Her hands are placed on her hips. "My my, you are late," she said, as if I were her person who was late for her work. She then giggled. "
"Who's that?" I asked as I stood up from my seat. Again, I heard the old man chuckle. Huh? What is funny about that? "Youngsters nowadays are really such scaredy cats. Don't worry, it is not something dangerous. It's my pet." A small cat came out from the bushes. So it is. a cat. I feel at ease knowing that it isn't something horrifying. That aside, when will the old man continue his story? Er, wait, I haven't asked what his name is yet! "Um, grandpa—" I was cut off in what I was saying when I realized that the old man was gone. He was just right here a moment ago; where is he? I looked around, but I still can't find him. "What a mysterious person!" I mumbled. I went inside and saw the others. Seki, Teri, and Ryuu. They are sitting on the hanging bench in the lobby. "Eyy," they called me. I was still in my dress, and yes, I still feel so cold. I would want to borrow any jacket or clothing they have, but, to my luck, they don't have any. Ahhh, I want to go back to the tent to ch
She has pale skin and bruises on her body. Her dress is soaking wet and her hair is a mess. Kianna was found lying on the shore, covered with rocks. Her hands are serving her head as a pillow, while her knees are bending together. "You scared us to death! What happened to you?!" Hera shouted with her relief yet worried voice. She is confused. After the scenario that happened last night, Kianna was nowhere to be found. In the quarrel between Francis and Kianna, all of them were in complete silence. "Who are you?" Kianna's voice was filled with confusion. "Guys!!! They are here! We've found Kianna!!" A loud shout was heard nearby. It is Kyler. After shouting and informing the others, he rushes to where Kianna and Hera are. And soon, others came. Filled with questions in her mind and a state after sleeping on the shore, Kianna closed her eyes and lost consciousness. *** "What are you saying? Is the contract more important than the life of your boss's daughter?! What the hell?" Yse
"Man, that is so ridiculous. Why did she sleep on the shore? And with that kind of dress? It would be a miracle if she didn't get the flu or what." Letting out his thoughts, Railey was scolded by Terrieza. "Can you just shut up that mouth of yours?" She is confused. Thoughts are wandering in her mind. Gazing in the air, Railey can't help but notice. She is sad. That's what she feels. Trying to lessen Terrieza's worries, he wanted to say something. But with his mouth slightly open, he closed it immediately. 'No, I think she doesn't need my cheer. Knowing Terrieza, I know she can handle it.' That is what he thought. The staff knocked at the door. "Please be ready; in 5 minutes we will start." She then leaves in a rush. The make-up artists made their way to Terrieza and the others. Adding some finishing touches, Terrieza stands up. Like a diamond receiving its final retouching, she walks, catching the attention of everyone who sees her. It's not new for Terrieza since her life is
"Well then, let's continue our discussion later with your parents. Rest well, Kianna." Dr. Hinsen gave a smile and then went out of the room, as did the nurse after bowing her head slightly. The man at the door was covered with sweat on his face. Maybe he runs all the way here? But why would he do that? And.. Who is he? Is he someone I know? Ahh... I have too many questions. I should ask all of them about my 'parents'. The doctor said they would be here. I didn't notice, but the man who was at the door a while ago had his way beside my bed. He is kneeling, his hands hold mine and put them on his lips. "They say your case isn't that bad, but days and weeks have passed, and you... don't wake up. I... I was worried. Kianna, don't do that again, okay?" I don't know, but somehow my heart feels like it is getting squeezed. I don't know him, nor do I know my identity. If I really am the Kianna they are talking about, and this person in front of me... Someone I know of... "Sorry," I u
A knock on the door was heard. A girl entered while holding a basket of strawberries and other fruits. My parents aren't here, and my mom is busy getting stuff I can use during my stay here in the hospital. While my dad , he said he had a business meeting he should attend, "Hi," she greeted me. "Who are you?" I asked. "Patrish Raven Hinsen, I'm your cousin." She lowers her gaze and sighs. I opened my phone and looked at the gallery. My mom created a gallery containing pictures of those who are to be trusted; of course, it also has names. "Patrish," I utter. And voila, I saw her image. 'Patrish It is indeed her. "Hello," I greeted. I don't know what to say. Is she someone I am close with? She sits in the corner of my bed. "So... you indeed lost your memories." I couldn't hear her crying, but I saw her wipe the tears from her cheeks. "Don't cry" I was confused. Why is she crying? Because I forgot about her? I don't even know who I really am. I sigh, "I... don't have any me
