Porsche's P.O.V:

I opened my eyes and sat up slowly then looked around.

The place was unfamiliar at first then I remembered that we were in that Chinese temple.

"Are you feeling better now?" Kinn asked.

"Yes" I said.

"The priestess said that your fever went down so you should be up and about in no time" He said.

I nodded and he sat down next to me.

He sighed heavily and nodded to himself then took my hand.

"Porsche...I know that this isn't the right timing but I just want you to know that I'd like to see you again after this is all over" He said.

I looked down at our hands then opened my mouth to say something but Mile walked into the room.

I looked away then removed my hand out of Kinn's hand.

"I'm tired of all this ok? I just want to live my life normally that's all" I said.

Eversince I met Mile it was one disaster after the other...

First he showed up out of nowhere then messed up my life then Kinn appeared then I got possessed by the ghost of my past life...

My hair stood on ends at the last one.

What else would happen after that?

Kinn looked at Mile then put a hand in front of me as he glared at Mile daring him to come close.

"I'm sorry" Mile said.

I frowned.

"I'm really sorry" Mile said again.

"I think it's time for you to get back to where you belong" Kinn said.

"I want to go back...I just don't know how" He said.

I opened my mouth to say something but we heard something break.

I turned to the door and saw Pete.

"Go back?" Pete asked.

Pete's P.O.V:

I was feeling strangely unhappy at the fact that we'll have to go back home anyway.

I don't want to go back...

"Are you ok?" Porsche asked.

"Y...Yes...I'm fine" I said chuckling awkwardly.

Then looked at the floor where the shards of the broken glass were scattered.

"I'm sorry...Ummm...I'll go bring more water" I said.

Then left the room hurriedly.

Is that what people call a grim reminder?

I started crying as soon as I saw Vegas then walked over to him and hugged him.

He started patting my back.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

I only held on to him tightly and continued crying.

"Vegas...I don't want to go back home" I said.

He stopped patting my back.

I knew what he was thinking and I can't blame him.

After all...I don't belong here.

I let go of him and wiped away my tears.

Young master Bible always said that I should stop being a crybaby.

But how am I supposed to do that when I only cry when I'm unhappy?

I'll never be as strong as my master after all.

I chuckled awkwardly and wiped away my tears.

"What am I saying? This is really stupid...I'm sorry to bother you...I'll get going now" I said.

"I feel the same Pete...I really wish you could stay too...But you know as much as I do that it can never happen" Vegas said.

I looked at the floor and nodded.

"Yeah...You're right" I said.

Then smiled and raised a hand for him to shake.

"I hope you can live happily and that you'll be cured of your sickness" I said.

He looked at me then at my hand before nodding and shaking my hand.

"And I hope that you'll continue being who you are now...Kind and always carefree and smiling" He said.

Then let go of my hand.

"Don't cry anymore...I don't think that your young master will be happy to see you cry" He said smiling.

Then he took off something from around his neck and gave it to me.

I looked at it and saw that it was a thin chain necklace.

"You should keep it as a reminder" He said.

I nodded and put it in my pocket.

(Later that night)

Kinn's P.O.V:

I was sitting in front of the shrine looking at the two urns.

One of them was red coloured and the other one was grey.

I noticed that there were beautiful flowers planted around them and scented incense between them.

"Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat and Bible Wichapas Romsaithong" I read the names carved on the stone along with the date of death for each of them.

Then turned when I heard footsteps coming from behind me and saw that it was that woman.

"One can never go against fate don't you think?" She asked.

Then knelt down in front of the urns next to me.

"Do you know how to pray?" She asked.

I nodded.

"You should pray for their souls then...Because I don't think they'll ever be at peace unless this is all over" She said.

Then put her hands together and closed her eyes and started murmuring a prayer in a low voice.

I closed my eyes and did the same.

After sometime we were done.

"Give me your hand" She said.

I gave her my hand.

But frowned when she started tracing her fingertip on the palm of my hand forming a word.

"My magic isn't a gift like both of my masters were so I can't help you much...But at least this charm will keep you safe" She said.

"Safe from what? Pim?" I asked.

"So that's her name in this life?...Yes...If she's your fiancee in this life then you must be careful of her" The priestess said.

Then she stood up.

"Why are you helping me though? I thought you loved Apo so you should hate me too right?" I asked.

"Your past self is not you...And the future shouldn't go to ruin because of past mistakes...I might hate your past life but I don't hate you" She said.

"How long have you been alive?" I asked.

"Three hundred years...And I've seen enough to tell you that nothing is as chaotic and trivial as human feelings...The best you can keep them under control the better" She said.

"You never loved anyone or had a family?" I asked frowning.

"I wouldn't be here if I had don't you think?" She asked.

Then cleared away some of the dust off the stone with her fingertips.

"As I told you...Nothing is as chaotic and trivial as human feelings...I don't want to be tied down to a family when I have a bigger and more important purpose" She said.

"What purpose? You lived three hundred years for..." I started.

"I lived three hundred years to gaurd their souls and make sure that Wik isn't mislead" She said.

Then turned to me.

"In order to put their souls to rest I have to make sure that they're united with their loved ones...Which means I have to protect you and make sure you're unharmed even if I have to kill that woman myself" She said.

She's been waiting for Mile and Apo and Bible to be reborn all this time?

This is really too much to take in...

"Then how come you're still here? Didn't you say that your masters died?" I asked.

The explanation of feeding on other people's souls can't be right...If she really did that then people would have easily figured out that she's a witch and shunned the temple.

But the temple had people so she can't be doing that.

She looked at me and blinked twice then sighed heavily.

A woman like her...What happened to her too?

"You're not as stupid as you were in the past...I must say I'm impressed" She said.

Then poured water on the flowers.

"You're right...I don't do that to stay alive...And the reason I know magic isn't because I practiced it...The only way for a living being to get the gift of magic is by drinking the blood of a gifted person...I drank Wik's blood when he died" She said.

Then smoothed some of the petals with her hands.

"Thanks to one of my masters spell Wik's reincarnation is gifted with magic...I'm only here to supervise Wik and guide him on how to use his magic since I'm the only one he knows capable of magic as well" She said.

I sighed heavily and nodded.

I still didn't get much of what was going on but I suppose that it doesn't concern me as long as Porsche is safe and sound.

"Then...If Kim is capable of doing magic then he's the one who summoned Mile and Pete here right?" I asked.

"And he's the only one capable of returning them back" She said.

I opened my mouth to say something else but my phone started ringing.

I picked it up when I saw that it was my friend Time.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Where are you? And why haven't you been answering your phone?" He asked.

"I'm at a temple in China and I shouldn't be really using my phone you know" I said.

"Your father had a heart attack and got transferred to a hospital and your fiancee took over the company claiming that you agreed to give her a share of your assets" He said.

"What?" I asked shocked.

Then turned to the priestess who still had that usual look of indifference on her face.

"What you said was true priestess...Pim is really trying to destroy me" I said.

"Then...It's time for me to leave the temple" She said.
