Chapter 24 | His Potential
Hero's POV
It took me a few more puffs and the cigarette was totally burnt out. I threw that useless thing and stepped on it. I tightened my jaw in an attempt to suppress my unexplained resentment.
Alyana can ask anything and I'm willing to do it except for holding my hand. Sometimes I'm cursing this ability that I have. Sometimes, I don't.
This potential was something that I discovered in a bitter way when I was a kid: I can wipe out or erase any event in anyone's memory permanently by holding their palm directly. The amount of memory loss was according to the length of time interval I held on anyone's paw.
It's been twenty minutes since the ten years old me started wandering out in the forest. I and my dad are on a camping trip. Already at 5:30 pm and its st

It's 5:30 am. The fog on the window started to evaporate while the rays of light commenced to outcast the dark that covered the chirps and coos of the long evening.Alyana, who's set down whilst dress is loosely spread on the clean floor, had her head laid on the sofa. The man beside her was bruised but had no dried blood on the face was rested comfortably, his soft arms supporting Alyana's head. The lady made little movements as if she was so glad in the scene played in her head, faint smiles and groans are repeatedly plastered on her serene overall complexion.Their memories say that they don't know each other, but their heart says the other way.The ticks of the clock were all that occupied the space."Brylle?" Alyana moved her head, she was shocked to se
Between Then and Now Chapter 26 | They're Dead
It was a fair day, the strike of the clock and its continues swing didn't bother Alyana in combing her hair, she's taking her time in staring at the tired young lady who's gazing back at her in the mirror, light colors of makeup are laid on her porcelain skin. A forest of undeciphered mystery can be seen in her eyes, and in the middle of that forest was her, just her: ALONE.She took few deep breaths before laying her mint green hairbrush into the compartment of her drawer. She was just supposed to put it there but her eyes took her longer in a stare because she caught another glimpse at notebook she left unopened a few days ago, the notebook where she wrote the names.She ran her slim fingers to take the thing up when she suddenly heard someone hit his car horn outside, she was more than sure of who that man was, this day was basically assigned as the

"How did they die?""Who killed them?""Why?"Alyana, with hand tightly clutched on her bag, asked in succession. The breaths of Hero began to become heavy, he's staring at the road intently as if filtering the ideas in his mind before speaking out."Yna...." he closed his eyes while decelerating, after three seconds, he finally opened his eyes and continued, "no one knows how did they die. About your second question, no one knows. And why? Again, no one knows""Then how did everyone found out that they died?""Their things are left bloody and scattered somewhere inside the campus""And? That's it?"
Between Then and Now Chapter 28 | Art of Yesterday
"It's been two months since the last time that we went here and it became so messy already" Hero said in his relaxed voice while looking around.Alyana furtively slipped her hand inside the bag, when she pulled it out, her phone was tightly held in it. She directly clicked on the gallery and ran to view the details of the videos and pictures, yes, it was exactly two months ago.Finally satisfied, she put the gadget back to the bag quietly.The church was almost in the heart of the forest, everything is still, not even the sound of the leaves scratching each other's edges can not be heard, just plain serenity. The fresh and cool ambient was comforting but robes the ability to bring back the memories of a happy couple separated by death and time.Alyana was now staring at the a

The cloud appears to be heavy, but, oddly, it had not bursted out in tears. They expected it to fall in just ten minutes so they hastened each step to reach the house where the old woman lives, however, it seems like natural events are in slow motion, thirty minutes had passed, still the same grayness, no rain."Hero?""Yes?""About our classmates-""What about them?""I'm sure investigations took place, what did they found out?""You want an honest answer?" he asked, his eyes are plastered on the crowning glory of the huge trees whilst holding Alyana's wrist, as always."Of course""Police of

Alyana's legs felt heavy as she traversed her way inside the house, she decided to spend the rest of the day in her bed, the pendulum clock narrates that it's exactly 12:00 noon. As she climbed her vision began to blur and darken, raising higher, the old woman's image lingered in her head, and her voice kept hissing in her ears. Meanwhile, the cat was carried close to her chest. She put it down the moment that they reached the door.Before entering, her gaze was thrown in the direction of Rave's room, her sister's head was peeped, but she pretended not to notice it."Ava, what if you failed to pass an exam? Even just for once, what will you do?" Brylle asked, he gave up solving that one problem in their calculus, it's been thirty minutes but he comes up with the same answer, yet Vien keeps on saying that it was wrong.
Between Then and Now Chapter 31 | Little Rave's Inner Raven
Alyana’s POVI’m knocking at the door of Rave’s room, I’ve been hitting it for a couple of times but she did not open it yet, I just heard faint movement sound every now and then. What’s her problem?“Rave, can we talk?” I said gently, trying to convince her with calmness and sweetness. The barrier opened slowly, I looked low and my sister was geared up with a scared look in her eyes. “Can I go in, honey?” I added, she did not say a thing but she opened her room’s door widely.Her bedroom was as panoramic as mine, her bedsheets and curtains are enormously printed with feathers and thin lines, it emanates calmness. She pulled me to a soft cushioned black chair, she rotated it, allowing me to face a monitor, wait, she has a computer set in her room. I ditched a b

“I’m Rave Shekina Veneracion, your sister,” she said, the glitter in her eyes looks different.“What else?”“C’mon, Alyana. Let’s get to the real business, stop asking nonsense” she rotated back to the computer, now, she started printing the images. Each paper looks like horror pieces falling to the floor. I stooped down to pick them one by one. We said nothing but we are moving to help each other, it kept as that, not until we’re interrupted by a call coming from the first floor.“Alyana!” a stern manly voice shouted.I noticed that Rave stood up and opened the door gently, before talking, she gave me a serious look.“Dad!
