All Chapters of The curse: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

 "Breakfast is served." My mum yelled from downstairs as she always did but that was either when I was brushing my auburn hair or saying some one or two things to reflection in the mirror but today was different. I was still enjoying the warmness and comfort of my bed when the words finally hit some sense in my head" Breakfast? " I gasped and quickly made my way to the bathroom.If I hadn't crushed my alarm clock two days ago I wouldn't be in such a mess but then, it deserved it for the loud and unpleasant noise it made at four am. It helped though, I spent the whole Friday at aunt Kathy's helping to do some clean up which she really needed.She was old and weary and could barely walk.I made it my habit to help her clean up every Fridays but I didn't show up the Friday before last which explains the tiredness I felt when I returned home.Within the next ten minutes I was ready for college, I tied my semi dried auburn hai

I was running, away from God knows what, like my life depended on it. I made my way into the woods and ran past the gigantic trees. The night was cold and harsh, I could feel it on my bare skin like a thousand stabs. My heart rate increased as the steps of whatever or whoever got closer every second.Suddenly I heard howls and for a moment I thought I was hallucinating but the sounds came again clearer and louder. This was not about who was following me but what— something wasn't right somewhere wolves never existed, besides they could only show up during a full moon. At that point in time I didn't want to look up it wasn't so important, just one thing was on my mind I needed a hide-out. Nothing turned out the way I wanted, there was no fuckin' hide-out  and no stop to this nightmare. I was still running but this time I couldn't feel my legs anymore and later on couldn't feel body when I tripped on a huge tree root protruding from the ground fa

 Mr Booky is a chivalrous but very weird old man. I actually enjoyed my stay there and Jess gave me reasons not to be apprehensive. She kept on questioning the old man like she had known him forever but he never did answer all questions— he actually hasn't left this semi haunted house for over sixty years, no wife,children or relatives. How a human being can survive being such an island? I can't tell. He kept shooting incessant glances at me which didn't help me feel as comfy as Jess was and that — was creepy.Finally, the long awaited Friday decides to show up. I couldn't stop staring at my wrist watch, patiently waiting for the minutes to burn down. At this point in time the lecturer's words were like a ball constantly hitting against a wall. All I needed was rest right now. When the bell rung, Jess immediately made her way to my desk and began blabbing about tonight's party at Maggie's place. I watched her swing her manicured fingers

 Here I go with a new week, Everything went on so fast during the weekend— so fast and crazy. So many things happened at the party but I couldn't tell what, till date when everything came popping into my head this morning. They gave me a severe migraine which made me last longer in bed past my rise up time. I didn't want to tell my parents I wasn't sound because I knew what question will follow.What did you do while at Jess's? Mum will ask, as she always does in such cases.Usually I rehearse on the answers I'll give to that question but right now my head was at the verge of explosion. I could barely tell what day it was. I just knew it was a school day thanks to the alarm clock. So I struggled to get myself ready for school. I dawdled to the fridge to get myself a bottle of fresh milk.“You look sick Audrey, Is everything alright?” she questioned with a worried look on her face.“Yeah mum, everyth

Lucy Santaria looked at her reflection in the mirror as she watched Anna, her personal maid carefully knit her ginger red hair into a French braid. She slowly smiled at it.“You smile my princess, what brings about this lips concave nature if I may ask.”Lucy sighed and looked at Anna's reflection on the mirror.“I saw him today Anna, and for a moment I thought I'll stop breathing. You know, that feeling when you see someone you hold very close to heart.” she sighed again. “ Just can't explain it Anna.”She saw Anna smile. “ Tony must have stolen a big part of  your heart.”“No Anna.....he's got my whole heart.”The door slowly opened revealing Marla, Lucy's mum.“Anna, may you exit the room?”Anna quickly obeyed and bowed before exiting the room. My mum walked to the unfinished braid and began knitting. We were silent for a couple minutes before she brok
