I dedicate this chapter to ValeriaChukwuma and semyart. They are really good friends. You can also check out her story "Hidden Tales Of Sabrina

Emerald's POV

The lessons were fun that I could say each and everything but I prayed silently for lessons to end. I was really hungry.
Soon enough, the automatic bell sounded alerting us that it was break.
My eyes widen in excitement.

"Hungry?" Drake asked me

"No."
But my answer said otherwise because of the growling and rumbling of my stomach.

"You are. Why did you have to lie?" Drake looked curious.

"Because it's a talent". I shrugged and ran off.

On our table, it included Drake and Melinda.
"Drake, don't you have male friends?" I asked munching my sandwich.

"I do. Just two". He answered

"Where are they?" I ask looking around like I knew them to know where they are.

"Can I join you guys?" Melanie cut in.

"Maybe". I answered. I just didn't like Melanie.

She sat.

"Emy, you eat fast. Faster than before". She detected.

"Emerald". I corrected ignoring the rest.

"Emerald, you might have indigestion". Melinda looked concerned while Melanie scoffed in disbelief.

"Thanks". I appreciated her concern.

"I'm done". I said leaving.

"Emerald, you know I'm sorry".
Melanie apologised.

I didn't want to look like I was lost cause I definitely was. I composed myself.

"For what exactly? I'm sure you're must be sorry for so many things". I tried playing along.

"Yes I know I did many things to you. But I didn't mean to post that picture and shredding your project work". She explained.

I wondered what picture. I decided to ask.

"Hope you don't still have the picture?" I asked in a domineering tone raising a brow like I could beat her up. I really could.

"Unfortunately".
She seemed like she wasn't sorry at all.

I quickly walked off. The conversation was so boring. I didn't even know anything going on in my stupid life! Not that stupid.

I went to the studio. That was the best place to go to.
I entered to see Darren playing the guitar. The song came to an end eventually.

"Wow". I exclaimed causing him to turn.

"Oh. Hi." He greeted welcoming me.

"You play well". I complement him.

I sat on the piano.

"You play?" He asks.

"I even play the violin. Do you play any other instrument?" I ask him.

He nods.

"The piano". He added.

"That's good then. You play the piano and I play the violin". I suggest heading to carry a violin.

He sits on the piano stool.

"Let's play let it be by the Beatles". He suggests.

I loved songs even as a demon. Everyday I sat playing the violin for my master since I knew how to do nothing.

It was such a beautiful combination.

The day at school was over. So exhausting.

It was night. 8 pm to be exact. Mum just got back from work.

"Hi mum!" I greeted cheerfully.

"My dear. How was school?" She asks looking stressed.

"Great!" I exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I can see". She said with smiles as she walked up the stairs.

"Drake, can you tell me how I was before?" I ask Drake when mum was out of sight.

"You know... Amnesia! Amnesia is what I'm suffering from". I added. But it's true. I'm suffering from amnesia. How can I not know what happened to me and all I know is that I'm a demon that doesn't even know her job.

I must find out. Must!

Drake abruptly stood up from the couch.

"What's wrong? Tired of action movies?" I mock.

"Never. I'm thirsty". He went towards the fridge but something weird happened.

Time stopped.
There was a twirling wind forming in the middle of the sitting room.

"What's happening?" I thought aloud.

If humans freeze, wind blows, what does this mean?

I finally got an answer to what was going on in my head. Elder stood in from of the TV like an almighty.

I would have rolled my eyes out of their socket but I won't.

"Elder! You found me!" I said a little but excited.

"I did". He nodded

"What happened? I'm human?" I asked expectantly.

"No. You're not. You have 100 days to live. Neither living nor dead. You're in between. A wanderer would be the best adjective". He explained in a not so detailed form. What was he even talking about.
A spirit, not a spirit, a wanderer blaa...blaa...blaa...

"Would you want to see what I'm talking about". He asked holding out his right hand.

I nod and locked my hand to his. The next thing I'm in a room.
A hospital room.

"Why am I here?"  I ask walking around the room.

"Oh my!" I gasp in horror.

"Why am I lying here? I'm dead". I ask staring at myself on the bed.

"No you're not. The doctor assigned to you refused to declare you dead. That's why you can see restricted room on that door". He said pointing to the glass door.

What's this. I'm having a headache.

"But I have a body". I say referring to present self.

"You don't. You'll fade after 100 days if you don't come back". He said mercilessly.

"How can I return? Besides, why should I return without a memory of my life? That's cheating". I ramble getting annoyed.

"You know the rules. Here." He stretched me a book that was like a thousand years old.

Don't mind me, but it looks really old.

I collected it.

"Place your right hand on it seven times in seven days".

I place my hand on it and a very bright light shone from it that I thought I would get blind.

Later, the light dimmed and went off.

"That's it. Remaining six days and you'll return".
How does he know I want to return cause I can never remember saying that.

"Out of the 100 days how many days left?"

"91 days, 20 hours, 10 minutes, 30 seconds".

I think I have up to three months.

"The more curious you get the shorter you live". He warned.

"How wicked!" I exclaimed.

He took my hand and next thing, we are at the gate of my house.

I wanted to ask him why we are outside and not inside but he disappeared in the same way he came.

What a show off.

I went inside to see Drake heading out.

"Where were you? I wanted to search for you round..."

I interrupted him cause he's such a talkative.

"Went out for a walk".

"Okay! Good night!" He blew me a good night kiss.

"Night".

We both headed to our room.

What a day!

A/N:
Finally! I'm so so sorry if this chapter is weird and boring.

It was written in a rush.
