Dark Journal Chapter 110 No Friend, No Foe
Idris stared at Alistair.The black eyes. The bodies scattered around him. The silence that had settled over the compound after the last wave of guards had been thrown aside. He took a careful step forward.“Hey, man.” Alistair didn't move. “Remember why you came. Can you….”He never finished. Something struck Idris with enough force to lift him off the ground. He flew several metres before crashing into a pile of rubble.“Fuck!”The entire compound had descended into chaos.Workers who had nothing to do with the facility's secrets were running in every direction. Some abandoned their vehicles. Others fled towards the gates without even knowing what was happening. Guards shouted orders that nobody followed.Underground, the situation was no better. The explosion had damaged several sections of the facility. Alarms screamed through the corridors. Scientists and technicians ran from their stations while security personnel rushed towards the surfac
Dark Journal Chapter 109 The Thing Beneath
Elias had barely slept.The room was still quiet when he heard movement from above. He looked up at the man from the bunk.They had spoken a little during the night. Not enough to become friends, but enough for Elias to piece together that he was a total nut job.“Hey, are you awake?” Elias pretended not to hear the first time. “Hey, you. Elias. Wake up. Hey you.” He whispered.“Any reason why we are whispering this morning?”In a normal voice. “No, I just wanted to know if you were awake. I was trying not to wake you.”“Right.” Elias replied with a hint of sarcastic mockery.“But, you're awake now.” Elias shifted, laying on his right. His eyes met with the guy's eyes whose head peered from above.“Gezz, you gotta stop doing that.”“Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.”“Damn it.” Elias sighed. He decided to indulge him since he was already awake. “So, let me get this straight,” Elias said. “You're here because they’re observing you?”He
Dark Journal Chapter 108 The Silence He Noticed
A Few Days Earlier Alistair was leaving his study when he heard footsteps. Someone was coming down the stairs. He stopped, simply stood there. Then he saw her. Caelith. She walked down the stairs, unaware that he was watching her. He said nothing. He didn't ask where she was going. He didn't stop her. He simply watched as she left. Then, after a few seconds, Alistair turned away and proceeded toward the elevator. _____ Second Day, night The dining table was quiet. The maid placed his meal in front of him. Alistair picked up his fork. He took two bites. A servant arrived with the fruit. He looked at it and swallowed the food in his mouth Then asked casually: "Has she eaten?" The maid paused. "Miss Elara or Miss Caelith?" Silence. For a moment, Alistair didn't answer. Before he could say anything, the maid continued. "Miss Elara, yes. She's upstairs." A pause.
Dark Journal Chapter 107 The Things We Protect
Idris looked at the time.12:53 a.m.He leaned back on the couch and sighed."Judging from what she said..." He calculated quietly. "Considering the time difference, she should already be back between nine and ten."His eyes moved toward the window. The city was still awake. "But that's a long time. What should I do until then?" He looked around the room. Then his eyes landed on his bag."Oh." A pause. "I forgot I had to do that." He stared at it. "Work."He sighed dramatically."Come on. Who works when they're distressed?" He pointed at himself. "I'm obviously distressed." Silence. Then his expression softened. "Just be safe."The words left his mouth quietly. Then he frowned. Something bothered him. He had focused so much on finding Caelith that he hadn't considered something.Who had taken her? And why? He leaned back. It's always one thing or another."No." He shook his head. He definitely wasn't going back to Julies’. He should have asked her for more details. “I'm not going bac
Dark Journal Chapter 106 The Distance Between
It was supposed to be a three-hour drive. Somehow, Idris made it in two.By the time he arrived at the location indicated by Caelith's phone. A small cafe. Normal. People walking by. Cars parked nearby. Nothing about the place suggested that someone had disappeared there. A man approached him as soon as he stepped out of the car."Sir."Idris looked at him."Tell me."The man held out a phone."Her phone."Idris took it."That's all?"The man nodded."I went inside and asked about her. I described her and told them I was her brother." Idris glanced at him. "They didn't say much. They only gave me this."His expression tightened slightly."Did you find anything else?""Her car." The man pointed toward the parking area. "It was still there. It already had two parking tickets on the windshield."Idris looked toward the vehicle. Then back at the phone in his hand. For several seconds, he said nothing. Finally, he sighed.
Dark Journal Chapter 105 The Message
Three Days EarlierIdris was halfway through the meeting when his phone vibrated. He ignored it at first. The discussion continued around him. Numbers. Reports. Decisions that needed to be made. Then it vibrated again.Idris glanced down. The name on the screen caught his attention.Caelith.A small smile appeared on his face. He shook his head slightly. Of course. He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned the phone face down and continued listening. He would reply to her later. Lately, she had been filling his inbox with tagged locations and details of her move. Caelith can wait.By the time the meeting ended, Idris had already forgotten about it.He made his way through the building and eventually reached one of the familiar rooms. The same room where Caelith had first come looking for him.Aldrich was already there. And he looked irritated.Idris stopped."That expression usually means something went wrong."Aldrich sighed."My date failed."Idris stared at him."Your date?"
Dark Journal Chapter 5 A Deal Made in Blood and Silence
Can you trust someone who tried to kill you?Zara got up slowly.Not because she was hurt. Because she was being careful, the way you are careful around something you don't have a category for yet. She brushed off her knees with a practiced gesture that seemed more like muscle memory than actual co
Dark Journal Chapter 4 An Unlikely Threat She had one job. It should have been simple.
It had been six days since the road. Four days since she had woken up on that bench with birdsong and a submitted essay and no explanation for either. Four days of going through the motions of her regular life, lectures and shifts and text messages she answered on autopilot, while underneath all of
Dark Journal Chapter 3 You're Not the Target… You're the Key Key to what exactly?
The chant had found a new rhythm.Softer than before but somehow more suffocating for it, like a hand pressing down gently but with the full intention of not lifting. Caelith stood in the ring of unflickering flames and breathed and tried to think past the pressure building steadily behind her ster
Dark Journal Chapter 2 The First Attack Wasn't the Last Who sent them… and why her?
She almost didn't go.That was the thing she would think about later- how close she came to just calling in, pulling the curtains back down and spending the day in bed with her headache and her unease and her half finished essay. How different everything might have looked if she had. The essay had
