❤Kayla’s POV❤️
.
Melvin walked past me, I caught a glimpse of his red face and knuckles before the tears.
A pang of pity rushed throu-gh me.. Wow.. This must be pretty bad for him..
I wonder what he was talking about to Clara that made him feel so angry..
I walked to her, she was still on the sp©t where she had stood and talked to Melvin, her lower l!pwas su-cked in and she bit on it..
“Did something happen between you two.. Melvin looked angry” I asked her, not being able to hide my curiosity.
“No.. Nothing at all,” she smiled. “He just asked me for a favor. I guess he’s really sad about Ryan’s death and it’s ma-king him angry” she said.
“By the way, I’ve been searching for you. Work’s about to begin” she said.
I glanced back but caught no sight of Melvin, I sighed, nodded to Clara and followed her to clas-s.

🐨Melvin’s POV🐨
.
The street felt like h0t coal as I walked on it to the cave, I was invisible and I couldn’t even let myself think properly..
It was as if even the street had rejected me.. I could only see the hatred in the people I pas-sed by. I shut my eyes but no tears fell. My heart was shattered, that’s if I still have one but right now I knew I was tired and fed up.
I can’t continue this life.. It’s been eight years alre-ady, eight years living this disgusting and tiring life.. Eight years trying to get used to my new self and as-sure myself every single day that it’ll all come to an end soon.. Eight years of trusting in something that was never even there..
If this was how it’ll all end then why wait until it comes when I can just make it easier and brief. The first plan after I had my first kill eight years ago was to end it all myself but Belle had been with me, made me feel human and also made me un-derstand that none of this was my fault.. She had given me that hope and was always there to cover my trail..
But after this, after seeing all those anger and hatred, after experiencing it a second time, which is even more painful considering how close I’ve gotten with some of the students.. I don’t think I’m re-ady to take this in anymore.
“Melvin” I looked up to see Belle, she had a concerned look and without an offer I rushed into her arms and hvgged her..
I couldn’t cry but I was pained and she felt it.
“It’s okay son. Everything will be fine, I promise you” she said and pu-ll-ed away, she led me to the cave and we sat on a log.
“I can’t do this anymore, Belle” I told her and she gave me a small smile.
“I un-derstand,” she said. “But it doesn’t change anything. You can’t let Lucinda de-
“I know Belle. But it’s what I want. I can’t do this anymore. I just can’t, maybe this is really my fate. It was meant to end this way anyways” I said and she picked my palm, giving it a light squee-ze.
“Melvin-” she shook her head.
“No Belle. I have a short time left to live and I don’t think Kay will be helping anytime soon.. Not that I nee-d it anymore because I’ve alre-ady made my decision, I can’t continue this way. I can’t let more innocent people get hurt because of me..” I we-t myl-ips, giving it another thought, I shook my head. “I don’t want to exist anymore” I ruffled out..
“Thanks for everything Annabelle, I love you and I’m sorry for this. I hope you un-derstand”
“Oh.. son” Belle pu-ll-ed me into another hvg. “It’ll be fine..”
She kept as-suring.. As always but I’m done living in false hope.

❤️Kayla’s POV❤️
.
School ended early and Clara and I p@rt ways.. I walked to the station and used the bus home.. I got home and met an empty house.. Well, since the beast is involved, mom should be very busy on the case..
I thought about Melvin again, he’s been on my mind all throu-gh and I can’t help but feel really sad for him..
Heaven knows what he should be doing right now.
I walked to the table, heading to my room but I st©pped at it when my gaze caught a glimpse of mom’s open pad.. I picked it up and fli-pped throu-gh a page, almost immediately my gaze took in the content and my brows lowered de-eply at it..
What?
“Hey, you’re back-” mom walked out from the storage room and her eyes lingered on the pad in my possession. She snatched it from me and kept it away.
“You’re back early. How was school?” She asked.
“Dry and heartbreaking because of the student we lost whom we thought was killed by the beast,” I said. “Why did you lie, mom?” I asked her, holding my bag stra-ps.
“I didn’t lie” she said..
“You said Ryan was killed by the beast, it’s right there in your pad. You made it up” I said.
“It’s the truth” she said.
“No it’s not mom, Ryan wasn’t killed by the beast.. He was killed by a careless driver, I saw it happen.. It was me who called the paramedics from your zone” I said and she sighed lowly.
“I didn’t lie, hon. I just had to do what has to be done” she said.
“What has to be done?” I repeated “you just put a crime on someone, you framed an innocent person!”
“It’s not Innocent, okay? He has killed people too.. What difference does this make?” She said.
“Wow.. I can’t believe you’d do this mom? How can you make the whole town believe that Ryan was killed by the beast? How can you do this to a guiltless person?”
“Guiltless? He has taken lives too? He’s a terror and a beast.. He’s a heartless being! I have a motive for doing this” she said.
“Of course, And what if it doesn’t work?”
“It will. I have a good feeling, it’ll work” she said, ru-bbing her knuckles.
“And Ryan? What happens to him after that?” I asked and her gaze sh0t up to me. “What he nee-ds is justice mom, he’s the victim here.. What his family and his corpse should be getting is justice. What you should be doing is helping them get it not putting your interest before it” I said and mom sighed.
“What happened to the teachings, you taught me not to make anyone feel bad because of me, you taught me to always support the right thing no matter what.. What happened to it?” I asked.
Mom nodded and walked towards me..
“Just think about how Mel- I mean the beast must be feeling right now, think about Ryan too.. This is wrong” I said.
“Honey,” mom called calmly. “You’re right but if I catch this beast then I’ll be getting justice for everyone, not just your schoolmate. Think about everyone it has hurt and those it’ll hurt in the future, I’m doing this for everyone, baby. Think of Tracy” she said and I we-t myl-ips.
I was quiet for a moment, I raised my brows up at her.
“What if it Tracy wasn’t killed by the beast..
“What will you do about that?” I suddenly said and mom frowned.
“What?” She asked with a blank expression.

CHAPTER 33✏️

❤Kayla’s POV❤️
.
Mom look was questioning and confused..
I sighed.. Why did I have to say that out.
“What’re you talking about, Kay? ” she asked.
“Well I.. I was
A ringing phone cut into my words, I realized it was mom’s when she picked it up from the coffee table.
Glancing at it, she gave me a quic-k look before answering the call.
“Yes Rob?” She said and was quiet for a moment. She suddenly gave me a look and began walking away..
“Yes, what happened..
Her words died down as she quic-kly moved away from me. I immediately looked down at the n£¢klace to see if Melvin was I any form of trouble and fortunately, it was normal.
I bit my lower l!pin thought.. Geez, that was a close one.
I walked to my room, took off my bag and shoes and stood in front of my mirror as I undressed. My gaze went to the n£¢klace, the blue liquid had gone down again and I checked the scars on my b©dy..
The n£¢klace was really holding so much pain..
I wonder why mom will go this extra in the case, I mean I totally un-derstands how she feels but framing him and lying about the cause of the death of someone rather than getting justice for him and his family, is way too extreme. Plus, if this goes well and Melvin eventually get caught and killed then I die too. As much as I don’t really want to interfere in this whole thing, I have to. My life’s involved now.
I’m living both for myself and Melvin now.. I have to protect him to save myself.
I sighed again and walked into the shower for a bath. After a quic-k one, I dressed up and sat on my be-d.. re-ading and at the same time thinking about Melvin and.. Myself.
I thought about his words to me earlier today and I wonder what kind of help I’ll be offering.
I mean the story’s really hair rising and I don’t think I want to get involved in it.
I’m alre-ady in one and it’s this creepy but then again, he said I could get out of everything if I agree to it..
Well, should I just do it and damn whatever consequences. But what if I die in the process or get seriously injured and-
I sighed out loudly..
This is just so confusing.

Morning c@m£ quic-k without me having dinner the night before, I dressed up for school.. Made sure to eat a lot for breakfast before joining mom in the car. She dropped me off at school, gave me a quic-k k!ssand hit the road back. I walked into the school building and to the stairs, heading for my locker.
I picked my books and walked to clas-s. School was lively unlike yesterday though the sadness could still be seen hanging in the air. While lecture went on, Clara busied herself with eating lots of chocolate bars and I wonder how she didn’t get caught.
She eats a lot..
Lunch break c@m£ next and I followed Clara to the cafeteria, hoping to probably see Melvin.. Well, I didn’t know why but I just nee-ded to but he didn’t show up in the cafeteria.
As I ate I suddenly began having a strange feeling, I stood up and told Clara I nee-ded to use the bathroom; I walked out of the cafe, heading for the restroom.. I got there, we-t my face, took in de-ep and long breaths and walked out. I began my journey back to the cafe, looking around to catch any sight of Melvin.
I remember where I saw him sulking yesterday and felt my feet dragging me there and when I got there.. He was sitting alone on the bench and staring into space.. As I drew closer, he suddenly turned to me, as if s-en-sing my pres£nce.
His gaze lingered on me for a moment then he looked away gradually.
“I know I’d find you here” I said and he looked at me again.
“You were looking for me?” He asked.
“Well..yes. It’s about what you told me yesterday, I couldn’t st©p thinking about it and how it involves me being the one to break whatever curse” I said.
“I doubt that’ll be happening anymore” he said and I gave him a look, he caught it and we-t hisl-ip. “I’ve decided to end it all, I mean quic-ken my death and all. I can no longer do this” he added.
“By chance, are you saying that you want to die?” I asked, with a frown.
“Yes. At least it’s for the best, Everyone will finally live without fear of ‘the beast'” he emphasized on the beast..
“But you can’t do that, I mean what happens to me then?”
“Kayla, you-
“Die? Yes I know and that’s why I said you can’t die yet. Look, I un-derstand just how you feel but think about me too, my life’s at risk here as well” I said.
“Look Kayla-
“No, you’ll not do it. You once told me, we can end all this if I help and then this connection thing will break?” I asked and he we-t hisl-ip, looking at me.. I bit my inner cheek and gave it a last thought.
“Well.. I’ve agreed to do it” I said the word like stones we’re clogging at my throat.
“Just tell me what to do and how? I’m re-ady to do it, So I can get out of this” I said, looking at him and his brows narrowed instantly.
