❤Kayla’s POV❤️
.
A warm breeze rustled on my forehead, sending the hair on that s₱0t away.. It stopped for a brief moment and then it came again and my eyes flung open.
It met, first with the bright eyeball of a white haired woman and getting a bit alarmed, I immediately sat up and moved from her..
“Easy, easy my child” she cooed. I look away from her, staring around the room.. I sight Melvin at a corner, his gaze on me. My gaze gradually came back to the lady which was starting to get familiar. I immediately felt a pang of pain stabbing at my forehead and my palm flew to it, my eyes shut as I rubbed my forehead in an effort to sooth it.
I suddenly remembered how I passed out and my eyes flung open.
“Belle,” I stuttered, fear clouding my voice “Where’s Belle?”
“She’s gone” I tilt my head to see Clara walking in.. My gaze stayed on her as she reached me and stretched a cup to me.
“She’s dead?” I asked, taking the cup from her, though still confused.
“Not yet but we won’t be seeing her around us anymore” she said, urging me to drink..
I gave her a small look and set it aside.
“It’s a good thing you didn’t give her the necklace, Clara” the old lady said..
“She seemed really persistent on having it, I wonder why” I said, drawing the cup content to view, it was coffee. I took a light sip and looked back at Melvin, his gaze was no longer on me, he was staring into space and I had a hint that the wh0le Belle stuff was still perplexing to him.
“It’s a powerful necklace” she said.
My gaze moved back to Clara. “You’re involved in this too? I mean you know Melvin is a-
“Beast?” She asked and I nodded. “I knew even before you did” she said and I was about asking how when I remembered that I had seen her lying in the box next to Melvin’s.
“Oh” was all I could mutter before drawing the cup back to my l-ips.
They all must’ve been in this together.
Melvin was still staring out of space when my gaze unconsciously moved to him
I sighed and gave the cup back to Clara.
“How do you feel now?” She asked.
“I’m okay, Clara. Thanks” I said.
“You’re welcome and oh, I’m not Clara. My name’s Jolita” she said and I gave her a small frown. “I had to answer Clara and use your face to be able to get close to you and Melvin, my real name’s Jolita and that’s my grandma Priola” she said..
“W-what?” I asked, laughing nervously.
“Yeah and watch this,” she said and almost immediately, as I left my gaze on her, it was as if I was looking at a different person. The resemblance we once had was completely gone, her hair color had changed too and she looked like a complete different person.
I gasped. “Whoa!” I mumbled.
“See? I’m someone else. Granny only asked me to wear a camouflage so she can be able to communicate to you guys through me and make Belle’s real intention known” she said.
I heard a small crack sound and when I looked, Melvin was standing up and heading out, I brought my gaze back to Clara.
“Oh.. Well um I don’t know what to say” I laughed awkwardly.
“I know it’s a shock” she said, smiling. I nodded and looked away, my gaze landed outside and I saw that the sky had become thick and dark..
“Oh My Goodness! It’s night!” I exclaimed, standing up. “I-I have to go now” I told them.
After a brief bye which carried a very strange atmosphere, Clara or rather Jolita, decided to see me out.
As we walked I could swear I felt a bit cranky and uncomfortable around her; it’s probably because she wasn’t whom I thought she was or the fear that she had worn my face all this while and had also known Melvin as a beast, I couldn’t pick the right option so I simply settled for both. The walk was silent, although Clara did talk but I mostly nod or act uninterested but gradually, though with a different face, I was starting to grow a sort of familiarity at it, she acted completely like Clara and I was somehow trying to get used to it.
We got to the end of the wood and reached a road, the road that led home.
“I have to stop here” she said, as we got to the road.
“So..I guess I won’t be seeing you at school anymore?” I asked.
“I don’t know about that yet, granny’s the only one that can answer that but personally, I guess not” she said and I sighed with a small nod..
“But we’ll not stop seeing each other, you can always visit if you want. I’ll love to introduce you to my other friends too and besides you and Melvin aren’t done yet so, we’ll see” she said and my face twitch..
Oh right.. I still have his necklace and Lucinda still haven’t been defeated, you know for a moment I almost thought all this is over but then.. It isn’t.
“Yeah right” I said lowly.
“Don’t worry Kay, you’ll be fine. I strongly believe that the curse will be broken and both Melvin and you will be free” she said and I nodded.
“Okay Clara,” I moistened my l-ips with my tongue. “I should go now”
“Yeah and it’s Jolita” she corrected and I laughed, rubbing my nape.
“Yeah right. I’ll try to always remember that” I said, she laughed.. “So bye” I tell her and she nodded before walking away.. I began my journey home.
Today has been one pretty long day. First, I’ll have a brief shower and a long night.. Good thing, it’ll be weekend tomorrow.
I tuck my palms into my jacket pocket as I journeyed home..
Look like not only Melvin got fooled, though his was pretty hurtful but I’d never have thought that Clara was a different person, I mean all along I’ve been trying to hide Melvin’s identity away from her but she knew it from the scratch.. She isn’t even human as I had thought.
I do hope to get out of this mess soon..
I hailed a taxi, my feet completely worn out, I hopped on it and it started moving.. I stick my head out through the window, letting out a long sigh..
Suddenly, the horrible sight Melvin was in back in Lucinda’s secret room hit me and I shivered, I honestly do hope that whatever it might’ve meant, both he and Clara should get out of it soon and then it hit me..
But..Clara isn’t Jolita.. They’re two different people. But the Clara back there had carried my exact looks..
**.. both you and Melvin will be free** Jolita’s words rang back into my head and with a snap I sat up..
If Clara isn’t Jolita and she looks very much like me then is Clara .. me??
I gasped!

Geez.. So here it is.. Do well to drop your thoughts, like and comment.
