☆☆Mia POV☆☆ I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. I admired the ocean blue dress that hugged my curves and smiled happily to myself. I twirled around and watched the long skirt ruffle the ground. The princess cut sleeves exposed my shoulders and collarbone making it sexy and elegant. I couldn’t help the happiness bubble from exploding inside me. I was finally going out on the prom date with Kevin. I slipped into the silver heels and twirled one last time in front of the mirror in excitement thinking that it has been a month now since we destroyed the horseshoe and there was no sign of Kevin’s father or the syndicate. They might be lurking in the dark waiting for the right moment to strike but I would be ready for whatever they do. I wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin this night for me. “Stop twirling you will fall on your face” Diana’s sarcastic voice sounded in my room. I looked at her still not believing that we have joined forces and she has become my sleep witch.
Ch. 54 THE PROMISE ☆☆Mia POV☆☆ The sound of the slap echoed through the walls of the bathroom like thunder, and instantly turned her cheek red. It felt so good to finally repay her for the evil she did to me. Surprised by my move, she glared at me but I didn’t give her the chance to recover as I aggressively grabbed her hair, opened the faucet and dragged her head under the running water. She started squirming and held onto my arm trying desperately to free her hair. But I clasped onto her with iron fingers not giving any chance. “You bitch” She screamed loudly and I just wiped her face with more water. Her makeup was smeared and she looked hideous showing her true self. Satisfied with what I had done, I finally let her go. I watched her drop to the floor panting and wiping the water droplets off her face. I took a step back and decided to scare her even more, so I just flamed myself up and enjoyed the horrified look on her face. She tried to stand up but failed as she tripped on
☆☆Mia POV☆☆“Here he is. Late as usual” I thought to myself as I saw Kevin’s car approaching my front door. I was visiting my grandma for the weekend and Kevin insisted on coming with me this time.“Kevin being my best friend for years doesn’t give you the right to be that late every time we go out” I snapped at him as I slammed the door shut roughly to tease him.He hissed angrily and glared at me with his greenish eyes but swallowed it as I glared at him,“Miaaa, you look beautiful as usual” he said, flashing his sweet smile at me.“Flattery will not get you out of this” I faked a smile back and crossed my arms over my chest.“Okay, how about this?” he said, throwing a gift box at me. I looked at him in surprise. He never did that before: “hee, what is it” I said smiling back, I love presents.“Do you forgive me first?&rd
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆The moment I heard Mia saying that she was scared of the attic, I couldn’t hold the urge to tease her about it. However, I never thought that she would actually fight back and nail herself to the floor like that.The more she resisted, the more I wanted to take her up. For a while, l lost control and carried her up the stairs and forced her into the room.She was right about one thing for sure. The attic was indeed a cold and spooky place. But nothing to be scared about. I came back to my senses, when Mia held onto my arm and felt her icy cold fingers wrapped up around my arm .She was shivering; I was really surprised by her. I always knew she was a wuss but not like that.I wanted to make her face her fear. “What is so scary about it? It looks normal” I tried to assure her as I walked inside the room and looked around.The room was dark with a dim moonlight coming from the only window in it.
☆☆Mia POV☆☆The sound of the door creak that came from the safe made me lose full control over my body. I was shivering like I was standing naked in the middle of a snow blizzard. I didn’t want to turn back and see what was going on. I wanted to get the hell out of here.But again, Kevin was just being Kevin and insisted on going and looking. What the hell was wrong with him today.I wanted to call after Kevin and stop him from opening the box. But I couldn’t utter a word out of my mouth. I felt stuck, and Kevin didn’t give me the chance to object, he hurriedly opened the box and showed it’s contents to me.I picked up the medallion, it looked like a horseshoe but smaller in size and had faded inscriptions written on it. But the second I touched it I felt an electric shock pass through my fingers and into my body. As I inspected it, I couldn't understand any of the writings on it. It looked like some kind of an old
☆☆Mia POV☆☆As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw granny putting a tray on the table in my room in front of the La-Z-Boy. My head was hurting and banging like a hammer inside. The last thing I remembered, I was downstairs putting the things for Kevin on the couch and then I went back to my room.I jumped out of bed and bent on the floor, I saw the horseshoe here. I looked under the bed and removed the rug but found nothing. It was on the floor next to my bed. Was I imagining things? Was I that frightened that I was hallucinating?“What is it dear?” granny’s voice startled me. “Nothing granny, I thought I saw something” I replied and stared at the floor again. I think I was exhausted, nothing happened, I felt relieved with that thought.“Where is Kevin?” I asked. “He is in the garden attending some calls. You scared us yesterday, how are you feeling?” she cupped my face. I was surpri
☆☆ Kevin POV☆☆I sat down drinking my coffee and staring directly without blinking at the horseshoe placed in the middle of the table.While Mia sat opposite to me with her elbows raised on the table and both her palms on her cheeks also staring without blinking at the horseshoe.We were both separated from the world and immersed within our own thoughts. How did that thing come here and in my bag? What the hell is it? I thought as I sipped on my coffee slowly.“Mia” I called, she wasn’t listening. I called again, startling her as she responded, blinking her eyes a couple of eyes: “yes Kevin what is it?”“What’s next Mia? What should we do?” I said, putting my cup down and picking the horseshoe up. Again I felt the electric shock pass within my body.Mia picked up h
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆The second I heard Mia’s scream, my foot involuntarily hit the brake. However, everything went black for a few seconds; I didn’t hear anything nor see anything or even feel anything. I was totally numb.Then I started to hear a few distant voices: “call an ambulance” then, someone shaking my shoulder asked: “Are you okay?” “Are you hurt?”My vision was blurry at first, I felt fine, nothing hurt, no blood and no broken bones. I raised up my head that was resting on the steering wheel as I blinked my eyes a few times to clear my sight until I saw Mia next to me and I freaked out.She looked like she had hit her head against her side window and passed out. I unbuckled our seatbelts and reached for her head. I checked her head for blood which was clean. I checked her pulse as I called her name: “Mia, can you hear me?” I patted her cheeks a
