"Wattpad Featured Author presents: 'One of Us Will Die (Who's Next?)'
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...
Fuck! This wasn't supposed to happen. And how the hell was the game summoned again?.
Is it because she's the chosen one?.
I snapped out of my thoughts as I felt her stirring on the bed. She was finally awake.
It's been two God damn hours since she fell unconscious, and it was hard for me to keep my shit together during that time.
I so badly wanted to strangle Elijah for giving her that dare, but I knew it was also not his fault.
"Austin?" She said in a hoarse voice as her eyes fluttered open.
"Yes, prescelto?, do you need something?"
"I can't feel my hand." She said weakly, and that made me crumble on the inside because I promised.
I fucking promised to protect her, I swore to be with her along the way, I took an oath to make sure that I won't fuck it up this time around, yet here we are.
I let her get hurt, I let her hurt herself, and I didn't do a thing about it.
"You're thinking too much," She voiced out as she used her good hand to hold my hand that was on the bed.
"I'm so sorry," I whispered lowly. I was so ashamed. What use was I if I was going to mess it up all again?.
"Why are you crying?" She asked, and that was when I noticed the tears dropping on her fingers.
I looked up to meet her gaze, Her gaze was so full of concern. And at that moment I wished we didn't have to face this all over again.
"Sorry something just got into my eyes" it was a fucking dumb excuse but that was the only thing I could think of.
She made it hard to reason or to operate properly.
I cleared my throat and built up my walls to hide all these horrid feelings I have for her.
Standing up, I reached to pick her up in my arms.
The nurse said I could take her back to the girls' dorm once she woke up.
All she has to do is keep her bandage on while changing it regularly. The nurse also gave me her medications and instructions on how to take care of the arm for it to heal properly.
"Where are you taking me?" She whispered softly, her face so close to mine, and I quickly looked away from those captivating eyes.
Dear Lord, I'm doomed. Just looking at her makes me crumble all over again.
I just pray that doesn't happen because she's like an addicting poison, and no matter how being with her killed me, we always end up together.
I carried her all the way back to the girls' dorm, and there I met Lily and Grace.
I told Grace all that the nurse said and gave her Veronica's medications.
I trusted Grace, so I knew Vee was in safe hands.
After settling all I needed to settle, I left for the boy's dorm.
I could see the question in Lily's eyes when we met. Everyone must probably be wondering why I lost my shit when Vee hurt herself, but only I knew the answer to that. And it has to stay as that at all cost.
