ANMELDENThe figure moved closer to the eastern perimeter, unaware that several people were already watching from the shadows. Darius stood behind one of the nearby structures, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure. He could hear the faint sound of footsteps against the ground, but he remained still, waiting for the right moment. Chloe was positioned a short distance away, while Caleb and two security members waited on the opposite side. They had spent hours preparing for this, and Darius wasn't going to allow impatience to ruin their plan. The person stopped near the section of the fence they had deliberately left looking vulnerable. He glanced around, seemingly checking whether anyone was nearby, before crouching to inspect the damaged section. Darius watched him carefully. The figure reached towards the fence, then paused and looked over his shoulder again. That was when Darius raised his hand. The others immediately prepared themselves, their attention fixed on the man who still
“Evie!” Adam lowered her carefully to the ground, supporting her head as the others hurried towards them. Nana was the first to reach her. “What happened? What's wrong with her?” Adam called Evie's name again, but she didn't respond. “Evie, open your eyes. Can you hear me?” Nana knelt beside her and took her hand, her face pale with worry. “Why isn't she answering?” she asked, looking between Adam and the others. “What happened to my granddaughter?” “I don't know,” someone answered anxiously. “Get out of the way,” Darius ordered as he approached. He crouched beside Evie, checked her condition, then looked at Adam. “What happened?” “She suddenly became weak and collapsed.” “Was she complaining about anything earlier?” Darius asked. Adam hesitated. “She said her body was sore, but she insisted she was fine.” Nana looked at him sharply. “And you allowed her to walk around like this?” “I told her to rest. She wouldn't listen.” “Then we need to get her inside,” Da
“Evie, wake up!” Adam shook her shoulder, but she only let out another groan. Her body jerked beneath the covers, and her hands tightened around the bedsheet as though she were desperately trying to hold on to something. “Evie, can you hear me?” She suddenly arched her back, a strangled cry escaping her throat. Adam pulled the covers away, his expression changing when he saw how violently she was trembling. Her face was twisted in pain, and beads of sweat had begun to gather along her forehead. “What’s happening to you?” Evie couldn't answer. She pressed both hands against her stomach, struggling to catch her breath. Then another scream tore from her throat. Adam immediately reached for her, but the moment his hand touched her arm, she jerked away. “Don't... touch me.” Her voice was strained and barely recognizable. “Evie, look at me. Tell me what's hurting.” “Everything!” Another wave of pain seized her, forcing her to curl forward. Adam stepped back, unsure of
Evie stared at her reflection, barely able to believe what she was seeing.She leaned closer to the mirror and parted her lips. Her canines were noticeably sharper than before. She touched one carefully with her fingertip, then quickly pulled her hand away.For a moment, she simply stood there, staring at her reflection in disbelief. This couldn't be happening.She opened her mouth again, turning her head slightly as she examined her teeth from different angles. Perhaps she was mistaken. Maybe it was the lighting, or she was seeing something that wasn't really there. But no matter how many times she looked, the result remained the same.Her body was changing. She could feel it, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.A few days ago, she had noticed the changes in her sense of smell. Yesterday, things had become even stranger when the smell of raw meat stirred an unusual hunger inside her. Since then, her gums had been itching, and now her teeth were changing too. What was hap
“Oh my God!” Iris stared at the water spreading across the floor, momentarily unsure of what to do. She had only stepped away from the shelves to investigate the sound, but now she could see that the water was coming from the drainage area. “What's going on here?” She hurried closer, careful not to step into the growing pool. The water wasn't draining properly, and as she bent down to examine the opening, she noticed something stuffed inside it. Iris frowned and reached towards it. When she pulled out the obstruction, her expression changed. It was a pair of socks. For a moment, she simply stared at them, trying to understand how they had ended up inside the drainage. Then her eyes shifted towards the running water. Someone had turned on the water and deliberately blocked the outlet. “Who would do something like this?” she muttered. She quickly stood and followed the water supply pipe until she found the valve. After turning it off, she hurried back to check whether the water h
“One of the camera feeds has gone down.”Darius's words immediately caught Chloe's attention. She placed the photograph on the desk and moved closer to the monitors, trying to see what had caught his attention.“Which camera?” she asked.Darius pointed towards the screen. “The one covering the eastern side of the property. It was working a few minutes ago.”He switched between the available feeds, checking the surrounding areas for anything unusual. The other cameras appeared to be functioning normally, but the affected screen remained blank.“Could it just be a technical fault?” Chloe asked.“Possibly.” Darius leaned closer to the monitor. “But I want to check something first.”He pulled up the system records and began going through the camera's recent activity. Chloe stood beside him, watching as he navigated through the settings and examined the information displayed on the screen.After a few minutes, Darius's expression changed.“What is it?” she asked.“Someone tampered with it.
