In this gripping mystery/thriller novel, Damien and Bethy's love story transcends time, fueled by faith and bound together by fate. But their destiny is entwined in a sinister gam...
The next day, I was strolling through campus with Mandy when a student came running in our direction.
"Mandy!" A short boy who looked 5'4" called out in a panicked tone.
Mady looked worried about the boy as he looked all sweaty and was breathing really hard. "Yes, Brooke?" She said
"I...it's...he....his." Brooke said while trying to catch his breath
"Chill, why don't you calm down first." Mandy suggested, but the boy looked so frightened and frozen on the spot
"It's Milo," he finally said after getting a hold of his breath.
Mandy's features were that of a confused person when her brother's name was mentioned, and she seemed lost for a minute.
Quickly regaining her composure, she drapped her arm over Brookes shoulder and asked.
"Where?"
Brooke got the question and led us to where Milo was, while we followed him in hurried steps.
We arrived at a crowded area, and we had to push and squeeze to get a clear view of what was happening.
There, in the middle of the crowd, was Milo, who looked no different than a psychopathic killer. He was armed with a knife as he held a naked, lifeless body of a girl who had blond hair.
I stood frozen in shock as I analysed the scene before me.
Blood was dripping from the girls neck as Milo licked it off her neck, and her clothes were torn to shreds, scattered all over the floor.
"Milo!" Mandy screamed in fright as her eyes bawling out of it's sockets, she looked more frightened than everyone present, while Milo had an evil smirk plastered on his face
He crooked his neck to the side and eerily stared as Mandy as he started laughing manically.
For a minute, I could have sworn I saw a shade of red in his eyes.
Tears were rolling off Mandy's cheek with her still lost expression as she looked at her brother, whom she couldn't recognise. He didn't look like he felt remorseful or regretted his action.
"What have you done!" Mandy screamed as her knees gave out, and she fell on the cold morning grass as her body trembled tremendously.
"Less than 24 hours." Milo said in heavy breaths.
"Less than 24 hours." he kept on chanting
His face was painted with the girl's crimson blood.
Milo took large and heavy steps towards Mandy, but she crawled back in fright.
Other students were murmuring, some were in shock, others looked disgusted while some were taking videos of what was happening.
Milo then grabbed Mandy by the hair, which shocked everyone. He still had that maniac look on his face. Mandy looked so broken that she couldn't react or move a limb when Milo smacked her on her right cheek, and she only reacted with a loud whimper.
What is happening?
Her face was covered by her hair once he slapped her, but she looked up, and everyone was in great shock because her cheek was suddenly so swollen and was bleeding.
The slap didn't seem so bad, but the effect was horrible.
He was about to hit her again when he was held back by two large veiny arms.
Max looked furious as he grabbed Milo by his wrist.
"What the FUCK dude!" Max screamed in anger as he looked at Mandy and what Milo had done.
"Less than 24 hours!" Milo said while aggressively tugging his hair.
Less than 24 hours, why did that seem like the only thing he could say?
Milo stepped away from Max as he went to grab the knife he kept on the floor.
He leapt forward, aiming to stab me in the chest but suddenly he was pushed away by Austin, who ended up punching Milo on his cheek, and I swear I heard a loud crack.
I was stunned for a minute. Who would have thought that Austin would be the one to protect me?.
"No!" Milo screamed in frustration as his arm moved towards his neck. He seemed to be in a dilemma as he struggled to keep his hand away from his chest, which held the bloodied knife away from his neck.
It was almost like he was being controlled.
It seemed like he couldn't stop his arms anymore as he stabbed himself in the chest and slit his throat.
His loud screams vibrated off the school wall and echoed into the distance.
His head fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"No!" Mandy screamed in denial.
She ran towards her brothers lifeless body. She kept on crying in muffled tones, almost like she was in a state of denial and acceptance based on what her brother just did.
"Mandy." Max called out in a soft voice.
"You shouldn't be here." He said as he gently approached her, but she was quick to push him away.
"No..." her cries died down as she looked at us, all of us.
Max once again approached her, and this time, she didn't fight him off as she looked into space.
He carried her while wrapping her arms around him.
"This can't be happening." Was the last thing she said before she blacked out.
