Beyond the barriers

💎chapter 9💎

Olivia's pov:

I wondere where is lay bringing me? Wait,isn't this his mum's flower shop. Why is he bringing me here?What on earth is going on here?

"Lay,why am I here?" I questioned him as we walk inside.

"My mum wants to talk to you about something relating to your situation..."is his only reply to me...

I sigh as I follow him into his mum's flower shop. I look around and saw bunch of different kind of flowers. It's so pretty in here. I was so amazed by the flowers that I bumped into lay.

"Oops,sorry lay. I didn't see you there,"I said sheepishly.

"It's okay but we're here. Let's go talk to my mum," Lay spoke.

We walk inside the office and I saw lay's mum at her desk, looking through some files. I'm guessing it's her clients that need her flower expertise.On her desk,is her computer, files and also, a picture of lay and Mark.Mark is friends with Jackson,I wonder how is he feeling after Jackson's death...

"Hello Olivia, I'm assuming that you're here because you wanted to know more about your brother and your friends,"his mum said without looking up.

Okay...that's creepy. I just nodded my head since she seem to know why I'm here in the first place.

"Excellent.lay, please grab me the book about our town's history," she said.

Lay nodded his head and went to grab it. Why that book though? I know at least every part of this town's history.

"Please sit,Olivia. I'm sure,you're very tired from school activities." His mum said as she gestured me to sit.

I sat down and began to look around the place again.

"Thank you,lay." She then grab the book from him and place it infront of me.

I was shocked, the front picture looks like my friends faces but how and why? And here I thought that this is the town's history book.

"I know you're confuse but your friends and brother are in very serious danger,and this is a part of history. They are playing a very wicked witch game. Hence, why there are stuck in that house. You did saw them in school,right?"

"No,I didn't. If I did I would have noticed them straight away." I state nervously.

"Oh, so those boys that was staring at you the whole entire day,wasn't them at all," she state matter of factly.

I literally hear lay's snickers from behind me.I turn around and shot him a glare.He immediately shut up after I sent him a glare.

"So, that's why they seem so familiar.But you said they were stuck in the house."

"That's what I thought. One of them must have found a spell for them to be human again but not for a long time,I'm afraid," she said sadly.

"Why are they in danger? what is this witch game,you are talking about?" I asked.

"They are in danger because they are playing a witch game that has been casted upon the house,itself. This witch made an enchantment on the house to make sure no one leaves and that they keep souls inside the house so that they could stay alive forever,"

"But how is it a game?"

"Its called a game because the witch is using them as players. As long as they kill people, the game continues until the witch has finish her revenge on the town. You are envolved too,sadly.Because you are related to one of them. To stop the game, you need to break the enchantment."

"How do I break it?"

"Here, read this."

I read the book. It stated that,To break this echanment, you need to sacrifice for love...

Love...sacrifice...I never fall in love with any of the boys to the point where I would sacrifice for them. How am i gonna save them now...

"I can see that you are a little worried but don't worry. You will know what to do when time permits."

"I hope so..."

"Well, you should get home. Please do take this book with you and read the history of the town because it will help you with everything that you may need and also,know about the history of the witch. Lay, please sent her home,safetly."

"Yes,mum. Let's go,olivia."

"Thank you and goodbye madam,"

His mum nodded and waved goodbye to me...

"Lay, did you know about this?" I asked him as we left the shop.

"Yes,Olivia. My mum told me and to not tell you until its the perfect time," he replied.

The rest of the walk was quiet but I enjoy the silence though.I have so much to think about. I didn't realise that we have arrived at my house already until lay told me.

"Thanks lay,"

"No prob. If you need anything,let me know," with that he left me in front of my house, alone......
