Chapter 1 ( short novel that I’ll never finish )

" I now announce , Courdillia Edmonton and Ruth Clive as the official survivor of The Carrera ! "

Look at her . Just look at how filthy her face looks .

I gripped my hands hard , feeling the my nails sinking into the palm of my own hands . Guilt was what built up in me . Ruth pushed me forward to the platform facing the public as he too , stepped up beside me . I can feel it , this stranger beside me , a 6ft tall and muscular man , was also feeling what i felt . Everything seemed to be tensed up .

Killer . Killer . Killer . Killer .

Mumbles came from the crowd , and gazes of malevolence fell upon me and Ruth . I looked down to the crowds as that abominable woman , Lady Abella put on a blue crystal pendant on me . Among the crowds , I saw the familiar blue eyes . Clearer than any blue sky has ever been , enchanting , as the blue pendant that was hanging between both of my collar bones . I froze , Luke .

" The symbol of survival . The testimony of being the one who knows no fear . Bravo ! " Lady Abella gave me a last glace and gave out a sinistrous laugh . The crowds cheered as her silhouette disappeared into the darkness of her Castillo .

Castillo L'Abella was where every survivor of The Carrera would be . And that I am , no exception . Once you're in , there will forever be no way out .  


" Lia , let's go . " Ruth puts his hand behind my back , ushering me into the rustic entrance of the Castillo .  


I look back and saw Luke , emotionless , both blue eyes peering into mine .

I shivered .

Understanding the unspoken words written in those blue eyes of his .

Hatreds . Sorrow . Exasperation .

He mouthed the word " You killed her .... " , as he grabs the silver stiletto hitched on his loose leather belt and stabbed right on the heart .

" No ...... No ...... Luke .... What are you doing ? "

Luke looked at me and pulled out the stiletto from his heart . Blood gushed out from the wound 

where the stiletto had been , dying his whole body scarlet red .

I shook off Ruth's hand and leaped to the entrance . I could'nt remember why I did'nt managed to run out . Just vague pieces of memories of Ruth dragging me into the Castillo .

" Help him ! Someone ! "

No one seemed to make a move . They just averted  their eyes . All of them stood there like lifeless statues .

Shit , heartless beasts . But who am I to call them heartless ?

Luke gave me a smile with satisfaction before he collapsed onto the ground . The horror on my face , was what he wanted .

I screamed with all that was left in me . I knew this was coming and I thought I was prepared for anything coming my way . No fears . No regrets . No feelings . No nothing . I vowed not to feel anything so I could survive . For all the walls i built up for the passed months , Luke was my only weakness . Luke , was all I had .

" Luke ! "

Hello there !
I hope you enjoyed reading the first Chapter of my novel .
I'm not sure how I would continue the story but I'll figure things out .
First ,
I'll apologize because in the future I might not be able to update this continuously or maybe I won't update at all .
It all depends .
Hope I could think of new ideas soon .
Have'nt even thought of a name for this yet .
Any suggestions ?
Stay tuned .
XOXO .

( Story based on my ridiculous dreams . HAHA .)
