Unexpected drama arises as mysteries begin to unveil in Dark Hollow. Luna and Lydia on their quest to find answers and solutions find more than they expected and they must keep the balance between good and evil.
As I ran through the woods of nowhere, I could feel my heart thumping harder than a jack hammer about to explode. I wished I had stayed home that night. It was almost as if I couldn't breathe any longer but I had to keep running and running.
"Who or what was after me?" I asked myself as I sat at the right corner of my bed staring at the wooden ceiling, this was the fourth time this week I had this same nightmare. At first I saw it as an ordinary dream but soon it started to seem more than that, I could see flashes of the whole scene wherever I was.
I told my parents about it but they didn't seem to care much, a family friend suggested I see a sleep specialist and I even accepted the IRT (Imagery Rehearsal Therapy) I was given with hopes of sleep improvement, still nothing seemed to work out.
Then neighbors and other familial relatives suggested to my parents that maybe we should move, an idea I never fanned.I was speechless when I heard the news, with a mouth wide open like a bowhead whale and my eyes turned red. "Why would they make such a decision without letting me in on it" I felt cheated and my rights abused like I didn't have any, but I had no choice and besides it was all over the neighborhood that I was slowly going psycho, it was as funny as it was serious. I literally stopped going out. At least I didn't have to spend more than a week as my parents already found another house about three towns away and technically it looked heavenly enough to remedy my nightmares, but I'll just have to sleep past tomorrow.
"Wake up Luna", The voice said, I couldn't help but sleep more besides I haven't had any sleep in days and my eyes had swole.
The voice continued and I finally woke up to the troublesome look on Evie Presley's face, she was a fair skinned 5.7' inch tall teenager with blonde hair, she was what you would call Fidus Achates. She followed me wherever I went and we spent most of our times together. "What would she be doing here this early?". What else, if not to say a big goodbye, not like I was going to the land of the dead or something, I really am gonna miss her as much as she will miss me.
I got up after she finally pulled me off the bed and she helped me start my day in a very unexpected way, we both had breakfast and took a stroll to our favorite places and our favorite people.
"There he is" she said as we were about crossing the road, pointing at a dark skinned 6' inch tall fellow who turned out to by Ryan Belch, my high school crush. I though I was over him, but I just couldn't.
Before he could turn to see who, I pulled Evie to the back of a cab parked by my left and we both squatted till he's attention was taken away by his mom whom he seemed to be escorting to somewhere"Do you want to get me in trouble" I said scolding Ernie who had already bursted into laughter. I never liked talking to him tho I wanted to, I tried so many times but i didn't always get a chance and when I did I just turned into a doll, smiling all the way and now I was leaving, maybe we were never meant to be.
We both went to so many places, and had a lot of fun not knowing the fate ahead.
Nightfall, Evie had already gone home after helping my pack my stuff for the next day, I just layed on my bed staring at the ceiling as so many thoughts flooded my mind, I couldn't help but let a tear drop. All my life I've been in this city and just an incident was about to change everything, My twin sister Lydia was coming home the next week after her graduation and I was just starting my college life and now we're moving plus I'll have to go to a new school, make new friends if possible and totally become a new person, I could only hope things got better. It wasn't funny how only a series of reoccurring nightmares could just change so much.
I'll just have to learn to cope, beside what could possibly go wrong in a town that was said to be always quiet and it's residents were somewhat welcoming. I closed my eyes so I could easily fall asleep and I finally did.

On their wedding night, Rogelio wrapped his fingers around Marian's neck and spat at her, "Congratulations! From now on, you live in hell!" The reason for his wrath was that he believed she was responsible for the death of his elder brother. So, he married her but refused to touch her, determined to make her suffer for the rest of her pitiful life! However, due to an unforeseen accident, Marian was forced to sleep with Rogelio in order to save him, and she ended up getting pregnant. Concealing her pregnancy, Marian lived cautiously under Rogelio's watchful eyes. He hated her and relentlessly humiliated her, yet he would never allow anyone else to lay a finger on her— "Mr. Bailey, your wife got into a fight with someone!" Rogelio secretly took action, eliminating that person completely. "Sir, your wife claimed that all of your family's wealth belongs to her!" Rogelio quietly transferred all the shares to her. Unaware of all this, Marian only wanted to escape, but Rogelio pulled her into his warm embrace, whispering, "Mrs. Bailey, where do you intend to go with our unborn child?"
The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance.

"If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."
"I've warned you from the beginning. Don't marry him, but you won't listen." She stood close to me and smiled with concern. "You are not a woman worthy of a man as handsome, rich, smart, and virile as Blaze." My whole body trembled at her words. "Have you no shame?" I asked in a quivering voice. "Take a good look at yourself, Heather." She looked at me in the mirror. "You can't even look at your ugly face. Do you think Blaze can endure a lifetime of looking at that face?" Heather Bailey had a surprise from her husband that night: a divorce agreement. After a year of marriage and facing ups and downs, she couldn't believe Blaze intended to divorce her. But she was devastated when she saw him gazing lovingly at another woman because that person was closest to her. Shortly after she put her signature on their divorce papers, shock waves caught her up. Her flower shop was severely burnt, beyond repair. Her father's company collapsed, and her parents blamed her. She struggled to rebuild her life from the ground up and became more successful than ever. Having many customers who came from influential families, she started her action against Blaze. She won the very thing he wanted. But that was just the beginning.
6 years ago, Lydia suffered a brutal betrayal orchestrated by her own husband and step-sister, who drugged her and framed her. In a twist of fate, she ended up having a one-night stand with a stranger. Don't even remember what he looked like.

In the blink of an eye, she lost everything. 6 years later, Lydia returned with her genius son, vowing to exact revenge on all her enemies! Little did she know, she encountered an incredibly familiar man at the airport! *** The man was briskly pushing open the door to the restroom, heading to the urinal. Even with such a mundane action, he did it with unparalleled elegance and grace. Lydia, following him in a daze, saw his fierce lower body and suddenly snapped back to reality. She let out a high-pitched scream, instinctively covering her eyes with her hands, her cheeks flushed, and stood there stiffly, unsure of what to do. Lambert furrowed his brows slightly but remained calm as he continued to relieve himself. The sound of water hitting the urinal made Lydia's face even redder. She angrily shouted, "You pervert!" Little did Lydia know that Lambert, seeing her in this state, had a flicker of recognition in his eyes. Memories from many years ago flashed through his mind, and his heart couldn't help but stir. It was her!
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"
