32 The Silver and Black
As the night wind touched her face, the view of the serene sea, she knew that they were driving farther away from the city. Taking a glance over his handsome face, Barrett thought why Faera must have been nagging at her all the time.
She was a butterfly caught in the web.
When she was five, the only fairytale she remembers was the Fairy goddess saving the poor child and blessing her for being so kind-hearted to all beings. It was her object of admiration, until she turned nine and started to hate herself after knowing the meaning of being named as “Barrett”.
The Fairy goddess, whom she thought a kind and loving person, blessed the child, the gift that their lineage will never perish. At first it was like a fulfilling promise, that no matter what happens, a descendant w

Barrett: Heart of Promise 32 Party at the den
The night is still young, the night before she was informed that the party will be held at one of the clubs owned by Agatha’s family , the place itself is a private establishment and it is an exclusive place for their kind only. “Ma’am we’ll be arriving soon.” Said by the driver sent by Agatha at Barrett’s apartment, of course it would stir a rumor among their acquaintances if Irvin and her would come together at the party. Far from her expectations, as soon as they exit the city border the road seems to be farther and more trees appear alongside the road scenery when the driver spoke once again, “Ma’am did you know of the road we enter just now” he said. “No, what of it?” She has never explored the town and is not familiar with it. “It is owned by the Yngvirds, only a few with permission can enter.” She wa

“Oh look we have here! Hello Maynard!” James who was having a conversation with her and Mielle stands and approaches Maynard to greet him but a silent glare is returned to him. It is like a threat. “Whoa! Easy, i’m with a kid so don’t be too tense.” he pointed his younger sister Mielle who is stuck with Barrett “Maynard here!” Myrvinne called his twin brother and he is seated near Barrett and an empty space is reserved for him. With this, his temper calms a little. “Whew! Thanks to my brother Myrvinne he calmed down a little.” Mielle whispered to Barrett so she looked at her. “Why?” she asked the young girl what she meant. “The men of the Yngvirds are too possessive of Sister Barrett, not only them but all of the members
Barrett: Heart of Promise 35 There is a human scent
Maynard held Barrett closely to his side as they went in, the music stopped and the atmosphere was tense. She saw James, Irvin and Myrvinne running down from the stairs and approached him. “Who’s on patrol, James?” He asked, as soon as he neared them. “I have Watson's group watch over the borders tonight.” He replied, later on Agatha and Mielle went to them. “Hey, was it Gary?” Looking back and forth with the conversation, Barrett knew that there was something happening. “Most of the children here are either just coming of age and some cannot shift properly yet.” It was Myrvinne who spoke. “How dare they on the day we got the kids for fun.” He looked painstakingly annoyed as he clasped his temple. They continue the
Barrett: Heart of Promise 36 Escape and Opportunity
Their appearances aren’t of normal humans, Barrett shivered at the sight of the two men, she clasped hard on the memento her mother gave her and closed her eyes. Praying to let those humans, no they are creatures, not notice her presence. The closest one step in front of the cabinet that she is hiding at, the creature slowly inspecting the door he was about to touch when the loud knocking of the door caught them on guard. The two immediately run out of the bar. Barrett let out a sigh of relief but still being careful not to make any sound, observing the surroundings and making sure that both creatures had run out. She carefully brought out herself, crawling her way back to the VIP room where she left Mielle. The wolves were running, keeping the prey on their sight surr
Barrett: Heart of Promise 37 Her first task
“I have the report done by Thursday evening.” He replied while sorting out the documents that Denzell has to sign, “I’ve heard that one of the employees is on leave?” he asked his assistant regarding one of the employees that is supposed to deliver the attendees to him. “Ah right, I’ve dealt with it, I’ve found a reliever to her position, also I have notified the human resource department on that matter.” His face clearly shows the dissatisfaction as he remembers how hard it was to debate with the HR Manager as he requested to rush the hiring. “We have a process in the company, it doesn’t mean that you work under the CEO, you will have to overlap ours.” Samantha, who happened to be of the same kind as Gerard has been keeping him outside the box. “It’s an e
Barrett: Heart of Promise 38 A helping hand
“Why did you just tell me now? It’ll take hours to do just a single page of this one!” One of the employees yelled at the other, it seems that the junior employee did forget to remind the Senior secretary of a presentation. Barrett and the rest of the department looked at the scolding Senior employee so early in the morning, it was then the arrival of Gerard the head of the department and asked what the commotion is all about. “It is your negligence as an employee for not keeping things in check, however we see to it, both sides have a fault, as a Senior employee how could you trust this to your subordinate alone?” He did solve the problem but did not let them off the hook by scolding both sides. This is how he managed things, he never took the side of any employee to bring fairness and no favoritism. “No matter how much I
Barrett: Heart of Promise 39 To see you the soonest
“Gerard, who made this report?” Denzell put down the folder at his table, Gerard looked over it and checked the document. “It was Miss Borton who made this report. She passed this early in the morning.” He informed the CEO who is thinking deeply. “I checked it before submitting, this is quite neat from her reports before, I think she improved.” He added, but still Denzell is not satisfied. “Asked their team and inquired who helped her do the report.” He ordered him again, so Gerard got curious, “May I ask why? You look troubled.” “There’s just one thing I need to confirm. That’s all.” It seems that he doesn’t want to explain further so Gerard only nodded and went out of the office. On his way, he saw the team he sc
Barrett: Heart of Promise 40 My boss is my suitor
“Denzell?” It was a first name basis and Gerard inches an eyebrow upon hearing it, who dared call the dragon king and CEO by his first name? However, as he looks at Denzell, he is amused at the current situation and quickly gets it. She is the woman of the rumors, the girl who has knocked off the hard stone heart of this cold dragon. “So you happen to know each other?” He quickly asked, the way Denzell looks at him could cut him into half already but he immediately refutes. “I didn’t do any research.” He mouthed to him. Denzell cleared his throat and immediately turned to Barrett, he had been missing this face and wanted to embrace her but he needed restraint. “So… Barrett, you actually applied here at IIC?” He confirms.
