SELENA'S OR ARIA'S POV
I was thrown into the dark and stinky dungeon with only a small window barely wide enough for my hand to pass through. My body was hurting severely but that wasn't my main concern, it was the betrayal from those I called family all these while. I was so angry that i yelled and punched the wall crying out all my sorrow and anger. I was thrown in without any medication for my wounds that was an eye sore.
I remembered all the fun time and things I shared with Nicole and when I first met her. She was being bullied by some boys from the upper grade. I used my martial art skills to give them the beating of their lives although they were much older than me. After that day, I literally became an Idol to her. She adored me and accepted to be my disciple and then my backup singer. So it had all be staged?
I laid on the ground and screamed in fury that the dungeon guards had to cover their ears. Suddenly, the dungeon door swung open and Nicole walked in, looking beautiful and scenting beautifully. On seeing her, my anger overwhelmed me and I lunged at her. But the guards with her just flung me away and I hit the wall with a loud thud.
Nicole stepped on me and with a domineering smirk, stomped my face to the ground. "Who are you to my Song? Tell me the truth you b***h" she shouted removing her leg from my head and raising me up with my hair. I smiled bitterly but decided to play along with her but I swear, once am out of here I will make sure I revenge in the most painful way.
I smiled looking eeire with my blood stained face from being smashed on the ground. "I am his bloody sister, hasn't heard told you before?" I asked disgusing my melodious voice to look like that of a normal girl. Nicole left my head and walked out without a word. I scoffed to myself. Why is she feeling insecure? She has everything now, why will Song cheat on her?
SONG'S POV
I drove crazily through the streets ignoring all the red lights and road signals. Finally, I arrived at the sharman's place. He is my most trustworthy soothsayer. I met him when I was a garbage collector collecting garbage from house to house to survive. He predicted that I will meet a very great person and be rich and it actually came to pass.
Agitated, I walked in to meet him. He was meditating, sitting by his divination table with his eyes closed lightly and his lips moving gently. Seeing him in this posture, I slowed down and sat down opposite him patiently waiting for him to finish. Slowly, he opened his eyes, on seeing me his lips curled into a sinister smile. "You are here because of Aria?" He said his eyes starring into vacancy. "Yes" I replied nodding vigorously. He began to chat and brought out an ancient string of beads.
He carefully looked at the beads and suddenly looked up sharply his eyes blazing. "Go back son! Go back! The information you seek is very powerful and more bitter than the truth" he said in a very urgent tone. I was stunned "Powerful truth? What truth?" I asked cold sweat breaking out of my forehead in fear. But he became hysterical "GO GO GOOOOO……." he shouted his voice weavering and i ran out quickly in fear.
As i settled into my car, I patted my chest to calm down my fraying emotions. My heart was beating fast and widely. I stepped on the gas pedal and speed away. I know something is not right but I don't really know what it was. I picked up my phone
"keep a close eye on the girl in the dungeon. Don't let her out and don't give her any food, water or medication" I said and hung up. That person can't be Aria. It must be someone cloned as her to cause trouble. Its better if she dies. With this thought, I felt better as i laid down to sleep.
One week later………
SELENA'S OR ARIA'S POV
I laid weakly on the dungeon smelly ground my eyes closed and my breath slow and laborious. My face was pale and lips white and cracked, bleeding. I didn't have an ounce of strength left and almost qll my wounds were now infected and swollen. My swollen left eye was almost closed completely. I knew if I didn't get help soon enough, I am going to die.
I slowly opened my eyes looking pleadingly at the guard. "Please I need a glass of water" I begged with a croaked voice. He looked at me in pity "I am sorry miss, I can't. I would have loved to but I have been ordered not to." He repled. I nodded not blaming him because I was the one that ordered any disobedience to instructions is punishable by death.
Suddenly, I saw a flash of light pass through the window into the dark dungeon and vanished. I didn't pay much attention and just closed my eyes in dispair. I felt a warm hand running over my forehead and a warm breath fanning my face. At first I thought I was already dead, but it felt so real and my eyes flew open. I saw the most handsome young master I have ever seen. His dark brown eyes were looking disturbed as he softly caressed my forehead.
"Who are you?" I croaked weakly my heart pounding in fear. "Sssshhh" he said placing his finger on my lips. "I need to get you out of here" he murmured and hugged me. That was all I remembered before I passed out. When I opened my eyes, I was in the most biggest and beautiful room I have ever seen. I was connected to a drip and all my swollen wounds have reduced and were bandaged.
I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself to confirm I was really alive. "Where am I?" I asked softly aloud. "At my house" a masculine angelic voice replied. I turned sharply to see the same guy that hugged me. He sat by my bedside and took my hand in his. It was at warm as ever. "How long have I been out?" I asked again. He held up two fingers.
"Huh?"
"Two days"
Oh s**t! I was rescued and had been out for two good days? I tried standing up to go get some water from the refrigerator nearby because I was shy to ask. But as soon as my legs touched the floor, I felt dizzy and fell back. I fell into his arms "easy tigress. Where are you running to? You just got here. Do you need something?" He asked gently lying me back on the bed. I nooded
"Water"
"Sure! One water coming right up" he joked and we laughed softly. He brought the water and sliced apples in a tray. "Eat this, you need them" he stuffed two apples in my mouth as soon as I finished drinking the water. He took a slice and began to eat slowly and deliberately. I couldn't help but look at him, but slowly this time for more details.
He has the most beautiful finger nails I had ever seen. The nails were pinkish and his fingers were white and smooth as jade. So was his skin too. His dark brown eyeballs was the most rare. His lashes were as long as an artificial one, and his face was perfectly a work of art. He has a perfect pointed nose and his thin lips can make any girl squeal, like I want to now. His jaw line is simply the hottest I have ever seen, even as a singer who had seen many male models.
As he ate the apple, his mouth moved slowly, and purposefully. As I studied him, he just sat still like he was waiting for me to finish. But who could take a break from looking at this demi god? I unconsciously began to drool. But what he said next threw me off balance
"Do you remember me Aria?"
