School was finally over. The atmosphere was suddenly filled with cheers, loud talks and shouts of students trooping out of their various classes." Okay, Desmond, Paola, Bianca and I will take the lead. My dad 's driver is already in to pick us up. Or you'll like us to drop you at home ?"" Oh, no, thanks....I'll pick the school bus. I'll drop off at the grocery shop to get some things for my mum so you just take the lead. I'll be fine..."" Are you sure?"" Yeah, just go..."" Alright, see you later then, bye...""Bye...", he answered, packing his things into his bag.Gisella stood by her desk, starring at them as she pack her books into her bag." Let's go, girls....", Loretta uttered, gliding towards the door with Bianca and Paola behind.Gisella quickly turned towards her bag with her back facing them when she saw Lore and her f

OUTSIDE The bus was almost about to take off when Desmond and Martin got to the gate. " Are you joining the bus today?", Mr. Jesse, the school's bus driver queried." Yes, sir....", Desmond and Martin replied, rushing onto the bus. Desmond sat by the window, gazing outside nervously, reflecting on what occurred a few moment ago." Gosh, Desmond, you shouldn't have listened to Martin. You know he's not really on good terms with Gisella. ( sigh) I'm sorry I ignored you Gisel, hope you'll forgive me....", he muttered worriedly, plugging his earphones in his ears.Just then, he saw Gisella approaching from the compound, looking so down and depressed. He quickly adjusted himself on his seat as he stared at her. Gisella strolled past the bus, deep in thoughts as the bus slowly took off." Why isn't she joining the bus today too? what's she up to?", Desmo

THE ANTONIO'S MANSIONAgnes sat by the pool with Lola, elated, having a good time when Lizzy approached from the backyard looking all worked out." Agnes....? what's all this about? why ain't you working? Mrs. Natasha will be in, in no time and you already know how she is...."" Lizzy...(smiles), Don't you ever get tired with this nagging and bossy attitude of yours? ( sighs) Come on, sit here", she uttered holding her down on a seat by the pool." You look so stressed out. Have some rest...."" Cut this crab, Agnes....I'm not ready for your jokes. Get up, let's go and get dinner ready. Gisella and Mrs. Nat will be back soon...."" Gosh, Lizzy, you can be so irritating at times....(sighs), Okay, I forgot to tell you. Mrs. Natasha said she won't be back early so we shouldn't make dinner for her and with Gisella, we all know she doesn't take dinner usually at night. Her milk is already in the fr

"(sighs amidst chuckles), I'm sure by now you and your Desmond are being welcomed in the land of the dead ( laughs). Finally, my revenge is done and I can return home happily....", Natasha mumbled cheerfully as she drove to the outskirt of the town. After hours drive, she finally parked in front of the dark forest by the roadside and hurriedly got off, gliding deeper into the forest. LORETTA' S MANSIONLoretta, Paola and Bianca sat in Lore's hall celebrating. The table was covered with various type of alcoholic beverage. " Come on, girls, drink all you can......, Desmond is finally mine with that ghost girl , Gisella out of the way", Lore exclaimed, elated." This really calls for a celebration...Cheers to your victory, Lore....", Bianca called." Yeah, cheers, girl.....", Paola expressed." ( chuckles ), and cheers to you guys as well f

Catherina, Desmond's mother rushed into the hospital, tensed." Martin.... where is he..? Where is Desmond...?",she cried, approaching him." Mum....you're here....", Martin replied, hugging Catherine with tears in his eyes." He's still in the emergency ward...."" What are the doctors saying?"" Nothing yet, mum....( sobs)"Catherina hugged him, patting his back consolingly." Calm down, dear. Let's keep praying....."" Mum....?"" Huh?"" Hope he'll make it alive....? I don't want him to die..."" Don't talk like that, Martin... Desmond will surely survive, okay?"" Okay.....", he nodded with tears running down his cheeks.Just then he heard his phone ringing. He glanced at the caller and dropped the phone back." Hey, Martin, who was it and why didn't you pick it....

It was already midnight but Gisella was still no where to be found at the hospital while Desmond laid unconscious in his ward, battling for his life. Catherina sat by her son with her head on the bed, fast asleep. The doctors, nurses and the securities continued checking all the wards and surroundings but to no avail. The whole staff present stood at the corridor of the hospital, worried." Who saw her last ?", the doctor queried, anxiously." I did, sir....I went to drop some water in her ward....", Reina, a nurse at the hospital replied." And how was she? Was she behaving weird or did you see anything suspicious around?"" Um....Not so sure of what I saw but it seems she was kind of desolated and sat quietly in her wheelchair without looking up. She kept starring down, gloomy"." Gosh, Reina.....you should have alerted me on that.....", the doctor cried, nervous. Just then, the door slammed opene

HOSPITALLizzy laid on the chairs at the corridor, fast asleep. Jerry, a doctor at the hospital, trod out of the office towards one of the ward when he realized Lizzy was still there. He gazed at her, empathetically and sighed, shaking his head as he strolled towards her." Lizzy.....? Lizzy....""Huh.…...?"Lizzy drowsily raised her head, adjusting herself on the chair." Has she been found? Is she in?"" No.....not yet but I think you should go home now and take some rest. I'll update you if anything pops up, okay..?"" No, doctor, I can't leave here without seeing her..... You won't understand how I feel now..... "" I do dear......Just leave everything to me, I assure you by morning, she'll be found....."Lizzy starred quizzically at him with a pale, weary face." I promise, I'll bring her safely to you.....Go home now, I'll let our

Flashing the mirror in his face, Gisella shouted" Don't you dare come any closer....!". A ray of light emerged from it, tolling the spirit to the wall, some meters away from her." Ah.....", he groaned in pain, suddenly transforming into Natasha.Bemused and shocked at what her eyes just witnessed, she exclaimed " What? Natasha....? You again...? Don't you ever get tired....?"" Never will I get tired, Gisella....Not until I've made sure you spend the rest of your life in mystery....( laughs, approaching her).  Do you think I will let go just like that? huh...? "Gisella starred into her eyes, dumfounded. Natasha smiled with a quizzical look on her face." I don't accept defeat so easily like that Gisella especially not from a weakling like you...."" Don't be so sure of yourself this time, Nat. No one hurts my Desmond and goes scot free any longer

" Now, tell me, what really happened ", Lore exclaimed impatiently.Without uttering a word, Bello strolled past them, over to the chair he sat earlier on and settled down, ignoring her as he continued his drink, smoking.Loretta gazed at him angrily with a mischievous faint chuckle and stormed off towards him." I said what really happened? I told you to get rid of Gisella and not Desmond..!! What the hell did you do to him, tell me....", she shouted, thumping Bello's drinks to the floor.Bello starred at the floor  furiously, tilting his head with a smile. Seeing Bello's expression, Paola and Bianca nervously held Loretta, drawing her out of the room." It's okay, Lore, I think we should leave now"" Yeah, Lore, Paola is right.....is better we leave things the way they are for now......Okay?. Come let's go..."" Let's go off me.....!! ", exclaimed Loretta angrily, losin

" What is wrong with you Gisel? why are you acting all cold towards Lore and her friends. They mean no....." " No, Desmond.....you won't understand anything for now. Let me handle it ( turns back to Lore). Get out of here, Lore...I don't want to see you anywhere near Desmond ever again...." " ( smiles nervously), why are you talking like that Gisel? Desmond is also our friend. We just came to visit him....", answered Lore, astonished by Gisella's sudden change. Gisella furiously dragged them towards the exit" No need for that, just get out of here, now!!!" " Stop it , Gisela....Enough with this....", Lizzy shouted. " No, aunty not until I see this low life to the exit...." " Cut it, I don't want to hear anything from your end any longer. Let go off her..... When did you start caring so much about someone...... " " Enough, Lizzy!!
