Chapter 10
Kim’s P.O.V ********* He's coming mummy Lydia, he's coming. I saw him. Little Annabel came running into my room. Really? That was fast I guess he is a strong man after all. Mrs. Lydia said Then a great idea struck me. I've been on the bed in pain praying that Kelly should return before the time I had here elapsed. But one thing that kept me surprised was why Kelly, of all the people I know, was the one who willingly volunteered to get THE HEALER to save me. So I told Mrs. Lydia that everyone should pretend like I'm dead and everyone outside should come inside and fake tears. What? What are you up to? Mrs. Lydia asked Nothing Mrs. Lydia I just want to find out why Kelly could do such a good thing as this for me despite the fact that we are rivals and he knows very well that the journey was a risky one. Kim? You are really crazy. What other reason could there be than the fact that you are dying and he wants to help you? The housekeeper said I know but something keeps telling me that there's more to this act. Please Mrs. Lydia, just this one time. Okay, I'm also curious but whatever happens after that is on you. No problem then. Mrs. Lydia did as I told her and not quite long Kelly came in after he heard that I was dead. What he said next shook me off balance. I LOVE YOU!! He said What? I couldn’t pretend anymore. I raised my head and looked up at him. What did you just say? Ummm…… I meant I love you as a friend and that you can’t die yet. But wait, why am I talking to the dead? Am I alive? Of course you are alive. What? Really? Mrs. Lydia, can you see me? He got up and touched Mrs. Lydia. He stood there for a minute processing all what just happened. Don’t tell me that this was a prank? Everyone in the room ran out immediately as he mentioned that he had been pranked. Emerald took THE HEALER from him as she ran out going to prepare the medication I guess. KIM!!!!!!!!! He screamed (Giggles weirdly) sorry Don’t tell me this was also your idea? Maybe. You are so crazy, he said and stormed out of the room. ****** Kelly’s P.O.V ***** I can’t believe I was just pranked. But really Kim is such a butthole how can she still be in the mood to prank me even in pain. I really can’t fully understand her sometimes. Her craziness is past 100% already, gosh! How can Mrs. Lydia and even Emerald agree to this. I was still sitting angry in my room when Mrs. Lydia came in. Son, you really don’t have to be angry with her ok. She was just feeling remorseful about the way she had been treating you and was surprised at the way you were still willing to help her. Remorseful? Kim can feel any other way but remorse? That definitely isn’t Kim? I know son but just don’t be angry at her for this one, please. Ok Mrs. Lydia but for the record I'm only forgiving her because you asked me to. Ok, my child, you have always been the mature one right from when you were little. Thanks, Mrs. Lydia Now tell me what was that you said, that you love her? Mrs. Lydia, I really don't think I should explain myself on that one. I already said I love her as a friend and that's all. Really, is that so? Yes ma Ok then I'll leave now. Let me go and check if She has been given medication. Yeah, I totally forgot about that, let's go together. ********* We got to Kim's room and met Emerald giving her the juice from THE HEALER. How do you feel now? Mrs. Lydia asked her I'm fine Mrs Lydia. I'm sorry but not so sorry for what I did Kelly. Kimm!! Mrs. Lydia screamed What? I'm only being truthful here Mrs Lydia Yeah right, you see what I was telling you Mrs Lydia? So much for being remorseful don't you think? Oh, so you both were gossiping about me right? Oh my Goodness Kim you're really a handful. You still want to pick up an argument with him on This too? I fail to understand you sometimes. I just stood there quietly because I was really not in the mood to do this with her now. Soon, her veins which were dark before were now becoming normal as her skin complexion became normal. She soon fell asleep and we left her to have some rest. She was looking so peaceful in her sleep that one would think that she was really peaceful. On my way out I remembered all that happened during my journey and wanted to talk to Emerald about it. Emerald, can I see you? I asked. Yes sure, I know you both are going to talk about something concerning your powers so I'll go with you also. The three of you have been too secretive lately, Mrs Lydia said. Ok ma, I don't think that there is a problem with that. We all went to my room as I told Emerald about my experience from the dream, to how the solve all bowed when they saw me to the mystery old lady. But she couldn't fathom any meaning out of it. But she believed that all these things happening are connected to maybe the last life of our parents one way or another. After that night’s discussion, we all went to our separate rooms and bid each other good night.
