The Rental is a Thriller type three-book series about two husbands looking for a car for two different reason and the last book about the little boy who helped bring Mr. Gee’s evil activities to the police.

Lewis wasn't sure why, but he felt a chill. Looking over at the girl, he shook his head, trying to rid himself of his paranoia. He watched as his parents left. Turning to face Annabelle he smiled. 

"So, do you want to watch TV? Boardgames? Or do you prefer computer games?" He paused. "Or would you like to read a book?"

'What even are those things? TV? Games on a board? What even is a computer? If I say book, there's no reason for me to talk to him.' She ended up thinking for a while. 

"Um, if you can't decide should we just watch TV? If you want to do something else later just let me know." He moved to the other room, waving at her to follow. 

"Okay." 

'Thank goodness for impatient kids.'

She followed him, upon entering the room she saw a large rectangular screen hanging on a wall.

'Oh, so TV is like a hologram? I hope he doesn't ask me what I want to watch…'

"What would you like to watch? We have a lot of movies, and a couple of series to pick from. I can also turn streaming on, and you could pick from that list if you want."

'I give up… Screw it.'

"I'm cool with whatever you want as long as it's action." She had watched a lot of action adventure movies when she was growing up. Though she hoped that earth had the same classification system.

"Are you sure? Is it okay if we watch Aliens?"

She raised an eyebrow.

He realized why in a few seconds. "It's not a dig, I swear!"

"Sure. What's it about?"

"It's a really great action thriller about alien monsters."

"Really?" She wasn't sure what to say.

"Yeah, if you don't like it or get scared, we can turn it off." He smiled as he put the DVD into the player. "It's kind of old, so give the CGI some grace alright."

'I'm just going to pretend I know what that is.'



About two and a half hours later Annabelle was thoroughly amazed at what humans could come up with.

'There are actually creatures like that. There's no way some human came up with that storyline…' She had been so engrossed in the plotless film that she had forgotten to mine information from Lewis.

"So… What did you think?" Lewis spoke up from beside her on the couch.

"The concept is interesting, but it lacks plot…"

"Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to watch Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. They kept killing off any plotline that semi-developed during the first and second movies. Though the new ones do kind of have a plot!"

'Oh no. I need to stop him before I get to hear all about this series…'

"Lewis what do your parents do?" She blurted.

"Dad acts as the clan head and mom helps him as deputy. They had a meeting clarifying clan policy about humans…" He stopped, realizing what he had just said. "About how we as humans should treat animals. Clan is just the name of their policy creation team."

"Okay." She accepted his explanation.

'Yeah right, brat. That means whatever they are, they're part of a clan. I know for sure they aren't human now thanks to his slip-up. Though it still doesn't clarify what they are…'

She was interrupted in her thoughts by Lewis.

"Hey, do you want anything to drink?" He was nervous and wanted to distract her from his earlier words.

"I'm good. By the way… You have a tail."

"Oh sh**, mom and dad are going to kill me…" 

"Because you lost control of your transformation in front of me?" She was grasping at straws.

"You're not freaking out, does that mean you aren't human?" He hoped against hope she answered yes. If so, his punishment would be less than if she were.

When she didn't answer he started freaking out. "I'm going to lose everything. They'll take away my phone, TV privileges, I won't be able to hang out with friends… PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE." He was beginning to sound desperate.

"I'm not human. But I'm not telling you what I am." She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Thank goodness."

"What exactly are you?"

"A dragon."

"Really? Interesting, I haven't met a dragon before. Can I touch your scales?"

"Sure, there isn't anything interesting about them though. Since I'm immature they haven't glossed over yet or gained their color."

"How old are you?"

"A thousand. You?"

'Hmm, so a thousand is still considered a child. Approximately around the age of thirteen or fourteen maybe? And they seem to think I'm younger than him. Jeez, it's just one frying pan to another. I hope I don't end up in the fire anytime soon…'

"I'm not too sure. I got abandoned in an orphanage, and I don't really have any memories before that. All I remember is that in the last five years I haven't changed, and they started treating me like a monster, so I ran away."

"Please don't let your dad send me back. They might kill me, or worse experiment on me." She tried to look terrified, as if she had been in that situation.

But her acting sucked… It helped that Lewis was also a kid and a naïve one at that.

"I won't, if we explain your situation to him, he'll understand. He'll help you. I promise, when he hears your story, he won't ever send you back there."

"Thank you, Lewis!" She threw herself into his arms. Not having to act the feeling of relief she was experiencing. Hopefully she wouldn't have to re-enact the 'play' in front of John or Shelly. They'd probably figure her out in an instant.

"Can you explain it to them. I really don't like thinking about that place." She had moved away from Lewis. Trying to act timid.

"Sure. Don't worry about it I'll talk to him for you." 

'I feel bad doing this, sorry Lewis. But it's important I'm not found out. Please let me take advantage of your naivete since I can't act worth crap.'

“What do you mean it’s year *****?! I just took a nap, how could fifty-thousand years pass!” 
Fifty-thousand years ago Earth was evacuated, having slept though everything Annabelle must catch up to the times, find her lost brothers, and take revenge for her planet.

«I'm a patient man. I will always wait for you, no matter the time, distance, situation, even for a thousands of years-I will. I promise you». 

Yusuf POV 

To say this lady in front of him, was not a beauty, it'd be a lie.

"Finally, she was mine-all mine! She took my breath away. Am I even breathing?" He thought.

She looked like a princess and he would always treated her like that.

He knew that she did not like him, but the way she was looking at him. God!
He was fifty percent sure that she would love him in a matter of time with the way she was looking at him.

She was already attracted to his physical appearance.

***

Wifey was angry. 

Wow!

"My feisty lionesses " he grinned cheekly .

He liked it. Wifey. She didn't even know her way around here. He laughed, she would come back soon enough.
He wouldn't mind waiting for a thousands of year for her to love him.

Well hatred was also a feeling, and she had that for him. What a lucky guy he was?.

Walking to the bar to have a drink, he popped the bottle and poured it and sat down as he sipped it.

"You drink," he heard her sweet, angelic voice around the bar. He was startled. Her melodic voice calmed him down. 

"I never drink and I'll not drink. I'm just having a cup of fruit wine." he replied while having a gulp. "You can have a taste if you don't mind" he pushed the glass forward her. She looked at him skeptically, eyeing the wine before collecting it from him.

"Wow!, it's delicious" She giggled while taking another gulp.

"Do you want more?" He asked. He stared at her lips before shaking his head away from his bad thought.

Wifey wasn't ready. 

When wife is ready, I'm going to take her to the heaven and back. He thought. 

She coughed to gained his attention, little did she knew that all his attentions were always on her from the moment he saw her.

"Um, you know everything about me. Don't you think I should know you, too, as I'm going to be living with you," she said softly putting the cup down.

"Okay."

"What's your favorite colour?" She asked.

"Black" he replied while she giggled, clapping her hands.

"Why colour black?, boys are very obsessed with colour black" she furrowed her brows.

"Boys?" I asked her incredulously. 

"Yeah boys" he shrugged his shoulder. "Don't tell me you aren't a boy" She teased softly while he chuckled. She was relaxed on the chair. He was enjoying the moment, he prayed silently to make the time long because he was comfortable and happy. 

"Well black shows strength" he smiled at her.

"How?" Her eyes widened while her nibbled her lips.

"Because when everything is dark,you fight your way to the light. It's shows strength of not giving up. Even in the dark your shadow leave you, it remains only you." He shrugged his should.

"Woah" she beamed excitedly while jumping up and down. "This is the first time I'm hearing that but I think blue is the best" she scoffed dramatically. 

"Why?" he inquired. 

"Because blue shows the nature. The sky is blue, the ocean is blue..."she muttered looking down casted while he smiled at her. 

" Then blue is the best "he agreed with her, so that he could that smile and he rewarded him with the fullest of her smiles which made him happy. 

"Your favorite food" She inquired, cutting her fingernails. 

"Any homemade food" he replied, he didn't care if she knew how to cook or not. He didn't marry her to be his cook or maid. He would cook if she she didn't know. He grinned at the thought. He would be the chef and served her on the bed and dinner room. 

"Your favorite book?" 

"ARB101 and Adiya Amir by Um_royhan" he replied. 

"Awww, who could take you as a romance sucker" she snickered. 

"Well, I love fantasy, action, thriller and suspense books but those book were different" he spoke with excitement. He liked talking about his favorite books. 

"Why?" 

"Is this an interview questions?" he  chuckled while she smiled shyly at him. 

"Answer, maybe I can read it" 

"ARB101 book is a short story but  I love the begin of the book, it started with whatsapp chat while Adiya Amir is the sweetest of all. The book inspires me a lot"he finished. 

" How? "

" Because it shows the struggles, challenges. It talks about suicide. Everything in life is a challenge, don't give up because surely, you will pass through and I quote the writer, 'Everything that happens in our lives are challenges that we need to conquer' " he added. 

"Woah" She beamed with happiness, "I can't wait to read it" she screamed happily. 

"Yeah". 

"TV series or music?" 

"I do not like movies or watch TV and listen to music" he shrugged his shoulder. He didn't see anything bad in it. 

"OK, old man" she scrunched her nose, "Coffee or tea". 

"I'm a sucker of black coffee". 

"Rainy or sunny?" 

"Rain because it is always weather for two" he wiggled his eyebrows while she turned away embarrassedly. 

He has no shame. She thought. 

"You are perv" She muttered but he heard. 

" I'm not but if it is with my wife then I'm a perv" he winked at her. 

"Your favorite place to be?" she asked. 

"Library" he responded Immediately. 

"Hehe.. Who could think a man like you can be in the library" she teased,wiggling her brows.

"A man like me?" He frowned.

"Yes,a man like you - I mean a beautiful front page model like you...." She gasped and clamped her mouth shut then she ran away.

He laughed out with his body shaking. When last has he laugh hard.

He enjoyed his time with her, how flustered she was when  he was adding some innuendo to her questions. 

"We are already one step forward" he thought.

"I don't know but I know Allah will give you your own spouse. Someone that will love you more than I will ever love you. Someone that will never leave you. Your joy and happiness. She'll be your queen and you will be her king." I sobbed profusely. 

"No" he shook his head, "I can't agree to this, you are my wife" he growled.

And I was lucky enough to grab an opportunity in this library", she answered his doubt. "Ok. I would like to borrow this book...", Alex continued and took a few minutes to leave the library.

I guess I can't keep you away, can I...? Oh well since that's the case I might as well tell you how I got trapped in a book. 

First things first, my name is Dequan DeSilva and no I'm not black. I'm 22 years of age and a world-renown Author. I wrote the thriller, "Within the mind?" After writing it, I gave the unpublished notes to an Editor I know, Stella Bianchi. She is a close friend of mine, truthfully it's up to her to decide if we can ever be more... Anyway, she fixed all my mistakes as grammar and I aren't best friends. Then I self-published the book much to my friend's disapproval. I was told that self-publishing is a mistake but a month after I published the book; it rose in fame and then became the best seller. A month after that, I was on famous talk shows, podcasts, tv series, the works. My book was hailed as the scariest book of all time, in fact, some people called it borderline psychotic; the way I made the protagonist go through hell and back, literally.

Nobody could get enough of it. Everyone wanted to know where I drew my inspiration from.
I loved that question, it allowed me to make my book seem deeper than it was... You see, I drew my inspiration while smoking weed. Drew inspiration for a thriller while smoking weed? Yes, I know how that sounds so I'll explain. I belong to the small group of weed smokers called The Schizophrenic Smoker. While everybody gets good trips, I always and no matter what get bad trips. You see I believe weed traps you within your mind and my mind is not a place anybody wants to be confined in. Anyway, going through one of those trips served as inspiration for my book. Despite the good outcome, it was one of the worst days of my life. So on that day, I vowed to myself that I would NEVER smoke again. 

At least that's what I thought... About a year later, I was hanging with a few friends at my party. We were outside in the garden with a dim light shining above us and the music blaring. We were all inebriated but my oldest and best friend Dylan Valentine lived this lifestyle daily. So he had a higher tolerance and wanted to feel a buzz of a higher level. He stood up from his camping chair and took a blunt from the back pocket of his jeans. Then he lit it, took a puff and passed it on in the circle we were now standing in. Of course, when it came to me, I refused so it went past me. However, when it came my way again, Dylan convinced me to take one puff, "What's the worst that could go wrong?" he, said smiling innocently. In the end, I accepted, we were all here to celebrate my books first movie adaptation, I didn't want to ruin the fun. I was inebriated so I wasn't in the best condition to make logical decisions. Anyway, holding the spliff in my hands, I put the paper to my mouth and pulled on it until my lungs were full. Immediately, I coughed as a burning sensation filled my lungs. Over and over I coughed until I didn't anymore... Instead, I found myself laughing for no reason. I laughed so hard my sides were hurting. Not only that but I was feeling amazing. Everything felt so calm. The world slowed down. I felt warm and cosy as if my body was a heater. The wind was caressing my face. The music playing came alive in a way I have never experienced before. And the food! Ah, the food was bliss! I sat with my eyes clothes bitting into the meat as the flavours my mind couldn't comprehend danced on my tongue. Throughout the whole process, I grinned. I know how weird I must have looked but I didn't care. This was heaven.

But then things began changing. Abruptly and without warning my dopamine enriched state vanished. It was then replaced with absolute terror. My heart began pounding as a cold sweat secreted from my body making the warmth I felt disappear. I began shivering because it was cold and because I was scared. Immediately I opened my red eyes, forcing them open. I wanted to see what was happening in the outside world. 

I am a lowkey a chuunibyou, so I'm convinced that the THC is giving me a heightened 6th sense. That this is my bodies survival instinct telling me that I'm going to die soon. So I kept looking to the left and then to the right. Using my heightened senses as a call of duty gamer, my eyes kept watching. Sometimes I could swear I saw something but it would vanish as I looked in its direction. I was terrified and my heart was pounding. Then suddenly the temperature dropped. Upon this realisation, I gulped as I sat dead still in my chair. Fear patterned all over my face. I shut my eyes tightly and held my breath. And after a while, the cold sensation went away. I heaved a heavy sigh of relief. 

Seeing what just happened, I decided to go home. I couldn't stay here anymore. I wanted to be in a safe environment, 'This feels like hell,' Sigh, honestly I wished I never thought that. You see, I'm not Christian but I was raised in a Christian household. So somewhere deep down I believe that heaven and hell exist. Because of that, I'm was convinced that I was in hell. That this is the devil's way of playing mind games with me. That somehow, I had died and this was him showing me my mistakes. As I thought that, I fell into the darkness of my mind. Then I stood up and walked to Dylan, "Bruuuh, I'm having a bad trip. I'm kak scared (1)!" However, Dylan just laughed, "Bro, you got to relax. Enjoy the trip," Seeing that he wasn't taking me seriously I gripped his arm tightly, "How do I make this feeling go away!" 

When Dylan heard I wanted the feeling to go away, he looked at me and furrowed his eyebrows. He glared at me and then he told everyone it was time to go. They all got up and went inside leaving me outside. Now that I was alone my mind began wandering even deeper, "What if I am in hell and my friends are actually demons? And instead of leaving they preparing a way to kill me." Again my heart began pounding as the sense of impending doom towered over me. When I felt my 6th sense activate, I knew I had to get out of here before they came back. Immediately I yanked my phone out of my pocket. In my hand, the phone was bouncing as my hands quivered. Then I tapped the taxi app and called one to my current location. I looked at the arrival time and it was 2 minutes. Seeing it, I almost felt giddy with relief, "I just need to wait here a bit and then I'll be safe... " After 30 seconds I realized that I didn't need to wait here. I could just wait outside. 

So I made a break for it. I might not be black but I wasn't white either. I wasn't going to let my curiosity kill me like in the movies. Holding my phone in my hands, I ran to his house's front gate. But as soon as I touched the gate, Dylan came outside and stood 4 meters behind me. Then he smiled at me, "You weren't in the backyard so I came here. Don't leave so soon we threw this party for you." He smiled again.

I listened to what he said and then turned around to his smile. No matter which way I looked, the smile seemed sycophantic. I took a deep breath and then I saw a shiny silver object in his right hand.  I gulped at the knife in his right hand. A wave of fear washed over me as my body tensed, trapping the air in my lungs.

Dylan saw me looking at the knife and smiled, "Oh this thing, haha. It's to cut the cake. Come to the back with me so we can celebrate." He said with a smile while he was waving the knife in the air and walking closer to me.

Seeing him walk closer to me, the colour drained from my face. I immediately turned around and tried to put my key into the lock. My hands were shivering so it was difficult. Dylan was getting closer to me too still waving the knife in his hands like a mad man. After a few tries, I finally get the key in the lock then I twist the key unlocking the door. But Dylan was right behind so I ran right through the gate. Luckily it opened outward and not inwards. I ran but I didn't get away cleanly. On my jacket was a cut from the knife. 

While I ran outside I heard Dylan scream, "Sorry I didn't mean to cut you. I'm drunk as fuck."

Of course, I didn't buy that so I ran down the street until I saw my taxi. Immediately, I waved my hands trying to get him to stop. The taxi stopped and I climbed inside, "Are you Dequan?" He said looking at me with a puzzled expression. I could tell he thought I would be black but I didn't have the energy to entertain the idea. I had just escaped from being murdered or I just made a fool out myself. Nonetheless, if If I ever had to face this situation again, I would do the same thing. Actually, instead of listening to Dylan at the gate, I will make a break for it, asap! But for now, I was safe. I heaved a sigh of relief and sunk my back into the chair and closed my eyes.

After I had closed my eyes for a few seconds, I felt a familiar cold wind on my face. I furrowed my eyebrows, 'This driver better close his damn window!' I opened my eyes fully intended on letting him have it but the scene before my eyes gave me the chills! I was no longer in a car, instead, I was sitting in a camping chair, in a backyard. I gulped inwardly, 'What am I doing back here? I was just in the car, I was in a safe place! I am in hell aren't I!?' I looked to the left and then to the right. My eyes kept seeing things but they would disappear when I laid eyes upon them. Then out of nowhere, a bone-chilling coldness stood over. My body tensed up and I shut my eyes tightly. But after a few seconds, it went away and I sighed in relief. 

By now I was a hundred percent certain that I was somehow living the same event again. Everything was the same. The things disappearing when I looked at them and then the spectre that was on top of me. I was certain but somehow I knew this wasn't me travelling back into time. I knew because I didn't feel in complete control of my body. It was almost as if I was a spectator in the first person. Like I was having a stronger form of Deja Vu. I've never been a fan of Deja Vu. When it happens I always think I'm going to die soon and that was the last glimpse of my life flashing before my eyes. Naturally, after thinking this, I began panicking. I stood up and then I went to Dylan, "Bruuuh, I'm having a bad trip. I'm kak scared!"

Dylan just laughed, "Bro, you got to relax. Enjoy the trip," But just like before, I didn't leave it at that instead, I insisted that he find a way to make it stop. He then glared at me and called everyone inside his house. After that the paranoia gripped me and I wanted to make a clean break. I called a taxi and then as I stood by the gate, Dylan came out, "You weren't in the backyard so I came here. Don't leave so soon we threw this party for you." He said smiling ingratiatingly.

I had yet to try and take control of this body and this time I wanted to but then I wondered. The last time this happened, I never died. What if I try and change that and then I tip him off that I'm scared of him and then he kills me? Yes, the normal way is scary but if I do exactly what I did before I at least won't die. Coming to this conclusion, I did just that. I let the story play out just like it did last time and before I knew it I was back in the car. I heaved a sigh of relief. However, I noticed that I didn't resume full control of my body. My heart began pounding again. If I was following what happened before wouldn't that mean once I closed my eyes, I would find myself back in the backyard? I was currently in a huge bind. I didn't want to go back there. Yes, if I followed the same events, I would stay safe. But if this was hell wouldn't that mean that they already know that I know? But if I were to keep my eyes open then maybe this driver would be the one to kill me. So in the end, I know of one surefire way that doesn't kill me and that was to close my eyes and sink into the seat of the car. I did just that and just like before I was back in the backyard. 

Opening my eyes, I wanted to cry. Was I ever going to escape this nightmare? Would I always be confined to this moment until I broke time just to get killed? Was this the devil's way of wearing me down mentally until all I wanted was to die? This repeating event happened another two times before I broke free from it. I didn't break free because I tried something new but because I was a coward and followed the same route. 

Coming out the loop I found myself at home. All the lights were off and I wasn't going to turn them on either. There was no point, I was going to go to bed and then sleep. Hopefully, by tomorrow the THC would have worn off and then everything would go back to normal. I walked past the dining table and then on it was my book, "Within the mind," I wondered what it was doing there because I can't remember putting it there but I eventually wrote the thought off. I must have put it there somehow. It's not like it just magically got there so that I would see it when I came home tonight. 

I walked into my room and then switched on the lights. In front of me was my bed. I had one nightstand on the right. I snuggled into bed leaving the light on. But before I went to bed I wanted to read the last part of my book. I was scared but reading about how someone had it even worse would make me feel good, "Nothing a bit of schadenfreude can't fix." 

I paged to the last four pages and began reading. Seeing the absolute peril the mc was in was hilarious. I had to admit, I was a savage to him. I didn't even give him a decent fighting chance... I shook my head and continued to read as the fear began to leave me. Once I finished reading the book, I looked at the synopsis of my book. I was proud of mine. Most authors just slapped a review there, I actually had a good one. It made people want to know what was going to happen without spoiling anything. Feeling proud of myself I decided to read it again, "Mc speaking over here. You are one twisted fuck you know that! You didn't give me a fighting chance. You only kept me alive just so that I could go through more scary crap much to your amusement! But I'm done! Every time someone read this book I was forced to live the same thing over and over again. As a bestseller, how many times do you think that was!? But I'm done now. Now it's time for you to experience this nightmare. Haha! You already had to experience a time loop right? Now you going to have it so much worse!"

As I read those words I furrowed my eyebrows. That was not my synopsis. Was this some kind of joke!? Anger started welling up inside me. Someone was clearly playing with me! They put this book in my house for me to get when I came home. How they knew I would read it immediately I don't know. Maybe they didn't they just hoped I read it sometime. Thinking about the new synopsis made my nose flare. So I threw the book down and then I went to sleep. Tomorrow everything would be normal...

BOOM! 

I woke up with a jolt at the sound of a bomb exploding. I immediately got out of bed and went to my living room. I had an ugly feeling in my gut but I wouldn't dare think it true until I saw it. When I got there I saw that section of my house up in flames. My walls were scorched and the debris was falling from the roof and walls. The heavy smoke was burning my eyes and my lungs. I coughed a few times and then rubbed my eyes. A few fires were burning on the ground but nothing that couldn't be controlled.

Looking at the aftermath of the explosion I gulped. It looked just like how I envisioned it when I wrote the book. I had designed my house like the house in the book. It was my dream house after all. Anyway, looking at the aftermath my heart began thumping... Was I really in the book? No, it can't be because if that was true then after this explosion another explosion will ring out but in the house next to mine, killing everyone inside. Since that hasn't hap-

BOOM!

Hearing the explosion in the distance I struggled to swallow the air as I gulped. It's just a setup, you aren't really in the book. Someone is trying hard to recreate these events, I tried to convince myself. If this really was in the book then the next thing I should hear is the screech of that beast. Since those creatures don't exist in this world their little charade ends he-

SCREECH!

I hear the screech of the monster and my heart dropped. As much as I didn't want to believe I was somehow in my book, I couldn't deny it was plausible. And if it this was the same as the book then that meant the creature was coming after me. Normally any sane person would run after learning this. But for me as the author, I know that if I run I will definitely die. You see, in this creature is something that I have to obtain otherwise I will not survive. 

Realizing what I had to do, I went up to my room and fetched my gun. I only have three bullets so I have to make them count. But I am as ready as can be. Now I just have to wait for the monster. Moments later the monster bursts into my house breaking the walls as it walked. I look at it and I almost throw up. It is a monstrosity of monstrosities. But it's something I have to kill if I want to survive!

Don't read me, please! Unless you want what happened to me to happen to you.

I said don't read me! Sigh, don't say I didn't warn you.
