Chapter 23 (Part I)


3 weeks later....

*Katelen's p.o.v*

I snuggled feeling the warmth. It was comforting. Soon the faint sound of the water droplets only for it to get clearer.

I woke up to only find myself on the ground in an unfamiliar place. It was completely empty with only me and distance as far as the eyes can go.

The floor was completely covered in smooth plan black mirror. I could clearly see myself. I had my hair down my shoulders with an undeniable natural glow on my face. I had a plain dress on. It was completely white and reached to my mid thigh.

I stood up but I was really calm for some reasons. Like this place was unknown but not unfamiliar.

I look around searching for the source of the sound. Soon I realized the water was underneath my feet. It was probably a centimeter deep. The water was so clear and pretty.

I look around to only find an Apple tree appear magically. I ascend towards it. It was beautiful and very desirable. The apples looked so rip and delicious that would make you mouth water.

I go close to it and touch one on the Apple. But just when I was about to pluck it a voice stopped me.

"DON'T."

I turn around to see a woman dressed completely white, her skin as pale as white, her platinum long white hair reaching her mid thigh, her eyes to completely white.

But for some reasons she didn't creep me. I was comfortable.

"Don't go against the nature. It will only bring destruction." With that being said. She disappeared.

I turn around to see the tree burning. I stare at it with horror.

"Katelen." Someone whispered from back.

I turned around to see Kyle covered in blood, pain in his eyes, trembling and a sword pierced right through his heart. The blood pored out of his. My heart dropped.

Without thinking anything I ran towards him but till I could reach him he turned to ashes and disappear.

"KYLE!!!!" I screamed.

"Princess." I woke up to only find out it was a nightmare again.

"Princess. Are you alright?" Kyle cupped my face.

"Yeah." I whispered nodded.

"Princess you have been having these nightmares since we returned from our honeymoon. And don't tell me it's nothing. Is there something you wanna talk about. Or of you want I can talk to Sean, my friend he is a councilor."

"No Kyle I am fine. I am just-" Before I could completely I felt the liquid rush out of my stomach. I seal my mouth with my head and rush to the toilet to throw up and Kyle rubbing my back.

This has been going on for 2 weeks now. I have the same nightmare every time, I wake up and throw up every morning.

I have been a little dizzy and nauseous for the at least a week and a half. I lazily walk towards the sink and wash my mouth.

Kyle hold he close and guides me towards the couch. But on the way for some reasons I lost all control, my legs got heavier and I almost blacked out.

He cussed under his breath and picked me up and placed me on the couch. He poured a glass of water and made me drink it.

"You know what I am not listening to your shits anymore. I am calling the doctor. I am done with you making excuses about your health. For the past week and a half you have been throwing up every morning. You have been dizzy and weak. You are always tired. You need proper check up." He almost yelled.

"Kyle please don't."

"Don't what." He scolded me like I was a kid.

"Kyle. Please." I whined.

"No please. I am done with your pleads. You are going to a doctor and that's final."

"Kyle I have a very important exam in a week and I need to get good grades to keep my scholarship."

"Exactly. For that you need to be healthy."

"I am. Okay here is the deal. After the exam I will straight away go to the doctor and do my full body check up."

"What is wrong with going now?"

"You know I have to spend almost all my time in this and then library with Max, Matt and Bonny. I don't have time for this. Please. I will visit the doctor but not now."

"I-" I cut him off.

"Please." I pouted.

"Fine."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

~~~

"I am dizzy." I whined playing with my food.

"Babe. I already told you to visit the doctor." Bonny said in a duh tone.

"True." Both the twin said in unison.

"Not now." I rolled my eyes explaining this for the 6858493th time.

"God. This is heaven." Matt moaned munching the food like a baby.

"Eww." I murmured.

It was lunch time, Bonny, twins and I where on our table. We usually gossip (actually they), Bonny often copies homeworks and random crazy things that will definitely make people want to send us to an asylum.

Who would have thought that the soon to be queen as no sense of responsibility. But it's not like I asked for it.

Here I was, on another boring school day. And the chicken salad that I once loved makes me wanna throw up. But then again there are many things that makes me wanna throw up. I couldn't even eat the bread-butter that Kyle made for me couple of days ago, I ended up spilling it all out.

But the most weird part was Kaira has been more concern and caring than ever. And for some reasons you can see a little suspicious, like she knows what is wrong with me but is not able to say it. Honestly she was the one insisting to go to the doctor the most.

~~~

"What class do you have now?" Max asked.

"English lit." I shrugged.

"Maths."

"Biology."

"P.E."

"Damn! None of us have the same class as you. Your husband is gonna be pretty mad at us if he finds out that either of us left you alone even of 30 mins." Matt groaned.

"Oh shut up. He is not that bad." I laughed.

"Really!" The 3 of them said in unison.

"Okay he can be a little possessive but hey." I playfully defended Kyle.

"Right." They said rolling their eyes.

"God!" I huffed.

~~~

"...Julius Caesar was betrayed by the one he trusted the most...." the teacher continued. I love English lit. I loved books, it helped me disappear from this world to a whole new world where it's just the me and my imagination.

But that was until I felt someone poke me from back. I turned around annoyed for interrupted me. To my surprise the guy sitting behind me was Damon.

When did he sit take that sit?

"Oh Damon!"

"Hey to you too Ms. Stranger. Seems like you are avoiding me. I am hurt." He pouted like a kid.

"What? No. I am not."

"Of course you are. I sat right behind you but you didn't bother to take a glance."

"Oh! I am sorry Damon. I didn't notice you. I was just- I had alot in my mind right now. I am sorry." I wasn't lying when I said that. I did really have a lot going on. I had my studies going on, my illness and now that dream. I was too stressed.

"It's Okay. But I wish we could spend some time together like old times."

"Then why don't you come and join us."

"You think so? They look like they are gonna murder me. I think they hate me around you." He murmured.

"Hey it can't be that bad. I will talk to them."

"Nope. Not gonna happen. Willson strictly warned them not to let me anywhere near you. And I am too young and handsome to die."

"Kyle?"

"Yep. Seems like he hates my guts. But please don't say this to anyone or else they will know I told you."

"Don't worry I won't."

"Hey why did you move out of the dorm?"

"I-I moved in with a relative....yeah."

"You sure?" He looked a little suspicious.

"Yeah. Of course I am." I almost stuttered.

"You even haven't come to school for like two weeks."

"I was just a little ill. You know under the weather."

"Oh!...um...can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"When you said you had a lot in your mind, is everything okay. If you don't mind me asking."

"No. It's okay. It's just that I haven't gotten enough sleep lately."

"Why is everything okay?"

"Yeah just a little stressed. The studies and everything. I am trying you catch up."

"God. I hope you get well soon."

"Thank you-"

"Ms. Anderson. Please meet me after class." Our literature teacher said.

~~~

"Ms. Anderson, is everything okay?"

"Yes it is. Why?"

"You look really distracted. You have been really absentminded the whole time. And it's just not today but I have noticed it for a while now. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. It's just that I haven't been feeling well. I think that's why."

"I understand Ms. Anderson but the higher authorities won't. If you work hard it will show in your grades, that is their mentality."

"I know I am sorry. I will try harder."

"I don't want to pressure you but you to understand the depth of the situation here. One mistake and you can lose your scholarship, you dream. Dear, I have seen you, you are really hardworking and potential, any teacher would proudly say that. Don't let us down."

"I understand."

"And yes, the principal has announced that the new scholarship students have to get 90% or above in the upcoming exam."

"Wha-I understand." I sighed.

~~~

"Martha can I get some cheesecakes too." My voice muffled due to the food stuffed in my mouth. I literally had my books on one side and food on the other.

I too am surprised to find myself hungry and tired the whole time.

"Don't you think you are eating alot lately. And you seem to be growing fat." Matt taunted making mine and Max's eyes roll.

"Don't bother my daughter." Kaira said smacking the back of Matt's head.

"Here take honey. Your favorite cheesecake." She gave me the plate.

"Mmm." I moan because of the amazing taste of the cake.

"You like it?" I nod excitedly.

"Good. So I wanted to ask you some questions." She bit her lips.

"Sure."

"How exactly have you been feeling lately?"

"Kind of out of the weather, I guess."

"Like how?"

"I have been feeling this for like a week and a half now. I keep throwing up every morning. And the worst part is I throw up around certain food. But then again I am always hungry and tired. Midnight craving sucks, and I can't keep myself from drinking Kyle's blood. Like O don't know." I ranted.

"Okay!" She nodded hiding her smirk. She seemed to be trying to bottle up her excitment. I gave her a confused look.

~~~

9:00 pm

"Hey babe!"

"You are late." I said coldly not even bothered to spare him a glance.

"I know. I am sorry."

"I don't care." I still don't look up and pretended to concentrate on my books than him.

"Babe don't be like that."

Silence...

"Babe.."

Silence...

"Princess?"

Silence...

"What can I do to make you forgive me?"

"You can take the couch." I said flatly.

"What?!? You can't do that to me?"

"Oh well guess what I already did."

"I am not sleeping there." He refused.

"Okay you can go back to the girl you were with today."

"Girl? What girl are you talking about?"

"No one knows about our marriage so isn't it easy for you to present any girl infront of the camera and call your wife. I know you are tired of me already." I started crying. I myself was not sure about what I was saying.

I know he doesn't have anyone else in his like but I am just frustrated, angre and upset about nothing.

"What is really going on?" Kyle made me sot on his lap and asked.

"I don't know. I just don't. I want to cry, scream, I am mad and upset over something I have no clue about. And also because you are late." I sniffed wiping my tears off.

"Okay baby I am sorry. I will try not to be late from tomorrow. And I think you need something for your real bad mood swings."

"Shut up. I am still mad at you. And leave I have to finish my studies or else they will kick me out. I have to get 90% or above in the upcoming exam." I groaned.

"What? How dare they? You don't need to pressure yourself. I will talk to them-" I cut him off.

"No. You will do no such thing. Kyle this scholarship is something I earned myself and I want it that way. I want it to be all me. Please."

"Fine. But don't stress too much, okay?"

"Hmm." I nodded.

"Good."

"I want your blood." I murmured nibbling on his neck.

"You have really grown hungry, haven't you?"

"This doesn't mean I forgive you." We that been said I bit him hungrily.

It felt like I am starving. I couldn't help but go crazy it's like I could drink it forever. But for some reason my hunger just keeps growing, especially for the past week and a half.

~~~

God! Why does it always end up like this?

I sit up covering my naked body with sheet and Kyle's body all over me.

No matter what happens Kyle just can't seemed to keep his hands to himself. But then again once he touches me I can't help but touch him back too.

Ugh...

Now that I think about it I realized that it's midnight I am hungry, again.

"Kyle." I shook him.

"Kyle."

"Hmm."

"Kyle."

"Hmm."

"KYLE?!?" I screamed.

"What? What happened?" He jumped.

"I am hungry.." I grinned.

"What?"

Opps...
