Elvis eyes sparkled while looking at the foods that were arranged on the table.
“This is so awesome, I’m really glad to have come here” he smiled and took a chopstick and began putting different kinds of food on his plate.
Once he was done,he used hands to take the turkey wing and began eating it as fast as he could.
“Hey eat slowly, you might choke” someone said beside him and he turned to see Gianna looking for what to eat too.
“I’m sorry this chicken is just so delicious, you know where I came from…
He said and li-cked his fin-gers then took another chicken wing.
“I only eat fruit and wine” he replied.
“Just fruit and wine??, Where did you come from?.. heaven?” Gianna scoffed and took some rice with the chopsticks.
Elvis gasped at her reply and immediately looked at her.
“You guest so right, I came from heaven but it’s a kind of different kind of heaven, it’s called…” He looked left and right and moved closer to her.
“The Jade heavens” he whispered.
“So you’re a prince then, the Jade heavens I do read in novels are for royals” she replied.
“No I’m a bo-dyguard” he pouted and Gianna shook her head.
“I’m not lieing, I might look handsome but I really am a bo-dyguard” he said.
“Did you drink that black beer?” Gianna suddenly asked, pointing at a beer that was on the table beside the foods and he gave her a confused look.
“Why are you asking that?” He asked
“Because you’re talking like a drunkard” she replied and stood up then went back to the dance floor.
“A drunkard?” Elvis muttered and ru-bbe-d his cheeks lightly.
His eyes searched for the beer and he finally saw it.
“Hmm” he shurgged and opened it then began drinking.
Zachary got board of drinking and doing nothing so he decided to excuse himself outside.
He stood up and walked out of the house then went to the compound.
The compound was also field with few students talking and laughing, some ki-ssing, some chatting and some holding hands.
He just shook his head and sat on the stone outside.
Since he can’t make any move for now so he decided to relax here till everywhere is a bit free.
His relaxation was going great till someone came to sit beside him. Turning to see who it was, it was none other than…
Lucy.
“Hey” she smiled but he faced his front and acted like he didn’t see her.
“You look so lonely, not having fun at the pa-rty?” She asked, pla-ying with her hair but Zachary still didn’t say anything.
Seeing that he wasn’t answering Lucy bit her li-ps slightly and brou-ght her hands to get thick jacket.
“Just when I thought that I’ll be cold here, I was wrong.. it’s so hot in here” she muttered and began taking off her jacket slowly.
Now, she was left with just an armless dress that was expo-sing all her cleavage.
Zachary suddenly stood up and she smiled.
It was working already.
“Wanna hang out with me alone?” She asked, slowly standing up to.
Instead of replying, he began taking off his jacket and once he was done, he moved closer to her and covered her bo-dy with it.
Lucy stared at him confusedly and he stepped away from her, his face didn’t show any form of emotions at all.
“I’ll tell you just one thing” he started, staring at her with those empty eyes as usual.
“What?” She asked slowly.
“Don’t ever try to show your bo-dy off to me or any other guy. It’s for your own good because you’ll just embarr@$$ yourself if you do so” he replied and began leaving.
“Why’s that?” She asked and he paused then stared back at her.
“It’s not attrac-tive” he answered and left completely.
Lucy became ashamed of herself immediately.
Was her bo-dy really not attrac-tive??
“You see Lucy, I told you not to go for him” Isla said, coming to meet her from behind.
“He said I’m not attrac-tive” Lucy replied in tears.
“He’s lying” Violet rolled her eyes.
“He’s not, that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend, no guy has ever even asked me out, that’s also why Colton broke up with me just after a month of being together” she cried.
“Colton is a bastard” Isla replied.
Lucy just covered her bo-dy properly and continued crying.
“Stop crying and remember that you’ve lost your bet” Violet smi-rked.
“Yeah, you’ll have to go on your knees and apologize to Gianna on Monday” Isla added.
“No!!” Lucy screamed and ran back into the pa-rty.
Isla and Violet looked at themselves and shook their head before going back in too.
BACK TO THE pa-rtY
“Did you hear the gist?” Nevaeh asked when Gianna came to join her at the lounge chair.
“What news?” Gianna asked.
“The se-niors said that it’s okay for us to sleep here” Nevaeh smiled.
“So we’ll have a sleep over here, cool!” Gianna smiled.
Harmony suddenly came to join them with a bottle of drink in her hands.
“Hey girls” she smiled.
“Hey” Gianna waved and Nevaeh secretly rolled her eyes.
“Are we all having fun, look I got us some drinks” she smiled, showing them the bottle and three cu-ps she was holding.
“Oh I love peach juice, I’ll have some” Gianna smiled and Harmony nodded.
She sat beside them and poured the jui-ce in the three cu-ps.
“Cheers” she smiled as she took hers.
Gianna took hers and Nevaeh took hers too then they all cli-cked the cl@$$.
Nevaeh began drinking while Gianna was about to drink hers when a voice screamed on her ears.
“Don’t drink it!” The voice ordered.
“Huh?, Why not?” She asked and Nevaeh stared at her confusedly.
“Who are you talking to?” Harmony asked.
“Nothing” Gianna shook her head and drank it up.
She smiled at the sweet taste and took the whole bottle then began drinking.
“Hey save some for us will ya, I’ll go get us some food” Harmony smiled and stood up then left.
She stopped at a corner and an evil sm-irk began appearing on her face then slowly her eyes started changing colours to blue.
“She seems strange, why didn’t she drink” Nevaeh muttered.
“Who knows” Gianna shurgged and made to drink again but paused when she began seeing a girl in an historical rope.
With the way the girl was dressed and how she looked, she looked exactly like how her novel describe-d Xia Meilin.
“Xia Meilin?” She called.
“Come with me” the girl said and Gianna stood up immediately.
The girl began leaving the pa-rty and Gianna started following her.
“Anna where are you going” Nevaeh asked.
She wanted to stand but her legs suddenly wobbled making her fall.
“Anna” she called again and held her head as it suddenly began hurting.
She began seeing the picture of a someone coming to attack Gianna from behind with full speed.
“Anna” she whispered and closed her eyes, falling asleep on the couch.
***
Gianna kept walking to only God knows where, she didn’t even un-derstand what was happening, all she knows is that she was following that princess at her front.
Speaking of the princess, where is she??. The princess is gone already and she didn’t even know where she was.
Suddenly she began feeling like someone was coming at the back of her with full speed, she turned back and saw nothing then she faced her front back.
The person got to her and it was Zachary.
His hand was stretched forward, coming with a hu-ge for-ce as he made to attack from behind when a golden light appeared from no where, pushing him back.
He flew backwards and came back forward again and Angie appeared.
“I’m really for you this time” he muttered and moved to Angie and the both of them began fighting immediately.
Gianna paused on her movement when she felt something was going on, she turned back confusedly but the two immediately disappeared.
She shrugged and faced her front back then crea-sed her brows.
“What am I doing here, I better go back in” she muttered and began going back to the frat house, staggering as she walked.
As soon as she was out of sight, both Zachary and Angie turned visible at the same time.
They started glaring at themselves.
“What is your problem?” Angie asked.
“I should ask you that angel of light, you better go back to your Jade heavens and let me do my thing” Zachary frowned.
Angie smi-rked and moved closer to him.
“This mission is mine, I won’t let you or anyone sabotage it so go back and serve your princesses, general Kia” Angie replied and disappeared off.
Zachary scoffed silently and his book appeared to him.
~ Maybe you should just forget about killing her for today~
“What??, You want me to forget!, Don’t you get me… I’m sick of staying here” he said angrily.
~There’s still a lot of time, so what if you fail the mission, are you afraid of the punishment you will face~
“You know I’m not afraid of anything” Zachary muttered.
~ that’s it, instead of trying to kill the girl,you can try finding out about yourself~
Zachary twitched his li-ps and closed the book.
“I’m going back to the hostel” he muttered and began leaving.
He got to the main compound that was field with students and accidentally bumped into a drunk guy who was staggering and coming out of the house.
The bottle of beer that the guy was holding hit Zachary’s book and poured on it.
Zachary’s eyes wide-ned and he immediately bent down to pick it.
“Look what you’ve done!” He said angrily but the guy kept chewing on his li-ps.
“Dum earthling” he muttered and left the frat house.

NEXT DAY, BLISS COLLEGE**
The bright early morning sun ki-ssed Gianna good morning.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at everywhere confusedly.
This place doesn’t look like het room, it looks like… She doesn’t even know.
The sweet scent of something made her open her eyes clearly, what is smelling this way…. It smells like a sweet shampoo.
“Bestie you’re awake”…
That voice made her eyes wide-ned and she immediately looked up to meet Angie coming out of the bathroom with just a towel on.
She immediately blocked her eyes with her hands and he smiled.
“How did I get here?” She asked.
“You were drunk at the pa-rty, you fell asleep on the floor and I brou-ght you to my hostel room” he replied.
“Oh okay, can you please go back to the bathroom?” She asked and he moved closer.
“Why?” He asked.
“I wanna leave” she said.
Angie smiled and brou-ght his hands to her face then for-cefully removed her hands from her eyes.
“Hey!!” She yelled and shut her eyes ti-ght.
“Open your eyes” he said.
“It’s inappropriate, we are not dating so I can’t be cought looking at your bo-dy” he replied.
“Oh really, should we date then?” He smi-rked and her eyes wide-ned.
“What??, No please” she replied immediately.
“Why not, am I that bad?” He frowned and she shook her head.
“Open your eyes or else I’ll ki-ss you right now” he said and her eyes went open instantly.
“That’s more like it” he smiled and sat down on the be-d.
Gianna cleared her throat a little, she was putting on a hu-ge white T-shirt and a long stockings.
She saw her cloth in a laundry basket, she must have vomited on it and he had changed her.
“Thank you for bringing me here last night” she muttered and cleared her throat.
“It’s normal, hey look at my tattoo, remember I told you I’ll get one” he said, showing her his arms.
It was a written tattoo that says ‘Gianna’ on his arms.
“Woah” she smiled, staring at it.
“When did you draw it?” She asked.
“Last night at the pa-rty, I saw some people that were doing theirs so I joined them” he smiled.
Gianna gaze moved to his face and she began staring.
He had such a pretty eyes and cute dimples.
“Smiling looks good on your face” she said.
“Thanks” he smiled again.
“Cute dimples too” she added and he blus-hed.
“Oh m gee you’re blus-hing, I made a guy blus-hed” she laughed and he shook his head at her childishness.
Despite having an ancient spirit living in her bo-dy, she’s still acting so childishly.
Gianna stopped laughing when she saw him staring at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that, is something on my face?” She asked and he nodded.
“Oh my gosh!, Where?” She asked and he suddenly peck her right cheeks.
“There” he replied.
Her cheeks went all red and she shyly took her li-ps in.
“Now I made you blus-h” he smiled and she immediately hid her face with her palms.
Angie made to remove her hands from her face but someone knocked on the door, making him stop.
“Who’s there?” He asked.
“Highness it’s me and Rick, we have arrived with the breakfast” Elvis shouted.
“Come in” Angie sighed and Elvis stepped in with Rick.
“Drop it on the table” Angie ordered and Elvis dropped the takeaways on the table.
“You can leave” Angie said.
“Yes high.. I mean Angie… Let’s go” they both left while pushing themselves out and murmuring somethings as they tried not to stare at Angie and Gianna.
“How can you be ordering your roommate to do stuffs for you?” Gianna asked.
“They aren’t my roommate” he smiled.
“Then what are they?” She asked and he cu-pp-ed her cheeks.
“I don’t think there’s any nee-d in keeping all these from you again…” he started and she stared at him quitely.
“Remember when I told you that I’ll explain everything that’s happening to you?” He asked and she nodded.
He smiled and released her cheeks.
“Now is the time” he said.

ROOM 150**
Zachary kept shaking his book but it won’t open or do anything.
Eversince that drunk guy bumped into him and poured the beer on his book, his book had refused to open or do anything.
“What’s this!” He said frustratedly and threw the book on the table then sat on the be-d.
“It won’t open, I’m not really used to living here” he muttered and closed his eyes as he recalled the last thing his book told him before it stopped working.
He slowly stood up and walked closer to the dressing mirror.
Maybe his book is right, maybe he should find out about himself first, he doesn’t even know if he’s going the right way or not.
He sighed and slowly took of his shirt and began staring at the dragon tattoo on his che-st.
“Where did I come from” he muttered.
He doesn’t remember much about himself, all he knows is that he grew up as an army in the Ouze palace.
Because he was the most progressive one among all of them, the crown princess Chuyun decided to make him the leader of the generals but who was he really??
His head began hurting again and he held it ti-ght as he began seeing some blurry imagined of a palace burning.
He could hear the cries of a small boy but he doesn’t know what was happening, the more he tried figuring it out, the more his head continued hurting.
Shaking his head, he went back to the bathroom and turned on the shower, allowing the water to drip on his bo-dy.
*****
BACK TO ROOM 149**
Gianna stared at Angie without blinking as he narrated the whole story to her.
“Are you saying that, you’re a supernatural, a prince from Jade heavens and your roommates are your bo-dyguards?” She asked and he nodded.
“Then I was chose-nto be a spirit recan-alization so that means, the Xia Meilin I do read about in books was real?” She asked and Angie nodded.
“That means the historical princess I’m always seeing in the mirror is Xia Meilin, she’s living in my bo-dy and she’s trying to take control of my mind?” She asked.
“Yes not not just your mind, your bo-dy and soul too… Her bo-dy got destroyed when she got betrayed by her sisters so she’s looking for a way to take control of your own bo-dy and when that finally happens, you’ll no longer be Gianna Dawn anymore” he explained.
Gianna gasped and covered her mouth slightly.
“But you don’t have to worry, that’s why I’m here, I’ll make sure to train you so you let that happen” Angie added.
“But I’m scared, how can I se-nd her away from my bo-dy I don’t want to be her” Gianna muttered and Angie sighed.
“That, I don’t know yet but I can @$$ure you that you’ll be fine as long as you try to control yourself,try to be more of yourself. If you notice that you’re trying to act out of your way then call me” he said.
Gianna looked at him and pouted.
“I want to be myself, I don’t want to be controlled by a spirit, maybe if I haven’t gone to that forbidden zone then I’ll still be me” she muttered.
Angie smiled and moved closer to her then hu-gged her ti-ght.
“I un-derstand you a lot but don’t worry you’ll get used to it” he said softly.
Gianna slowly hu-gged him ti-ght and relaxed her head comfortably on his shoulders.
Weird how she feels so comfortable beside him.
“Anna” he called slowly and she hummed softly.
“I know I shouldn’t be saying this but I think I….
Angie didn’t even get to complete what he wanted to say when the door kicked open and Rennie stepped in looking furious.
“Ancient prince we already told you that you can’t…
Rick tried talking to him but he used his powers to push him back and walked closer to Angie.
He waved his hands and a strong for-ce separated both Angie and Gianna away far away from eachother.
Then he used his powers to pull Gianna closer to himself and hu-gged her wa-ist ti-ght.
“Den!! How dare you touch my woman!!” He growled angrily.
