Dusk and Ice Chapter 28
I didn’t expect mom to readily agree to my leaving WhiSare, especially during the crisis going on, and truly she wasn’t ready to believe the lie I told that I needed a vacation in dad’s summer villa just yet. She stood over me like an overprotective mama bear watching me pack my bags later that night asking if Cara knew I was leaving, if it was necessary for me to go, if my leaving had anything that do with the missing persons and frankly I wanted to tell her the truth but what good would it do when it would only increase her anxiety and overprotective mama bear instincts? So I repeated the same lies over again. “I just need to go away for a bit. Yes, it’s a bit overwhelming being new in town with all this bad news about missing people.”“But you don’t have to leave. Weren’t you just worried about my safety after Tessa’s Candle service?”“The more reason I should leave because I don’t want to cause you any more worries than you already have. I know this sounds selfish but Logan is he

Silver took the lead and pushed the door open. We all stood in shock at the sight before us. The occupants in the room hadn't even noticed we were standing there.I tried to look away but my eyes kept coming back to the lady in an hostess uniform with her hair packed up in a very neat bun. Her skirt was bunched up around her waist. Her panty hose had been ripped at the bum to allow access for the cock of the man who she fucked. He sat on a small couch. His head was thrown back and he was the one grunting heavily, gripping the hostess' ass while she bounced on his cock laughing.Kayla drew Starlight to her side and quickly covered her eyes but Starlight was laughing. Once again I tried to look away. They didn't even notice we were standing there.Silver had a naughty smile on her face as she finally stepped into the office and knocked on the opened door."Shit. Oh, shit!" The hostess' exclaimed as she hurriedly got off the man's lap. His cock slipped out of her, silky, wet and rigid.

Miles carried our bags to the storage area. Two hostesses assisted him, carrying the bags through the center aisle to the back. Silver collected the keys. She left us for a few minutes and when she came back she was dressed in flying gear with a pair of headphones, to muffle the sound of the engines, tucked under her arm. She handed one to Miles as soon as he was done loading our things. Kayla boarded the plane with Starlight behind her. Starlight immediately went to the cabin to sleep leaving me and Kayla alone in the sitting area. She chose a sit at the other side away from me. Silver came to the back carrying snacks with a wide smile. She looked between me and Kayla with a knowing grin. "Is this your first time on a private plane, pretty boy?" I raised my brow at her. "My father is one of the richest men in the world. Do you think we don't have a set of our own?" Silver chuckled raising her hands in surrender. "Okay pretty boy, don't get too salty..." "My name is Shawn!" "

Here was Milani. Hot, humid and bright with the sun. It reminded me of San Frease with its large, green, summer land. It was a large bustling city. I've been here once. Dad had business here so I joined him on that business trip and spent some time lounging in the pool of the luxurious hotel we booked for our stay. I blinked my eyes to remove the last of the fog in my head and with it went the remnants of my strange dream. As the dream came back to me I looked back at Starlight who was making her way down the aisle. Her red eyes were downcast but she noticed my gaze and looked up at me.She waved."Are you getting off the plane or what?"I looked away from Starlight at Silver. She was watching me curiously. "I'm getting off.""Good."Miles was getting the bags from the cabin with the hostess. When I tried to collect one of the bags from him he shunned me off. "I'm a wolf, I don't need help," he laughed.Feeling useless, I walked out of the plane. I am surrounded by supernaturals an

I could barely eat a thing. I paced the room, sat, tried to sleep and quickly realized sleep was far beyond my reach. I couldn't stop worrying about Milani. About WhiSare and Down Hills. My room was large and it faced the city center where the mall was located. There was a movie opening so a large crowd had formed outside the cinema. From my point of view in front of the window, everything looked lively. Yet, everyone knows something is wrong with the city. I learned from the in-house room service girl a curfew had been set in place. No night movement was allowed and the city came to live at 8 in the morning, not earlier. She wouldn't tell me anything more than that because I was a stranger. Little did she know that I knew a lot more than she could ever imagine. The night curfew was a very smart decision. Daemons are known to move around at night, that should prevent more people from being turned into undeads. But tourists, stubborn tourists would be stubborn enough not to keep to t

When Silver came into my room later that evening to see if I was ready to leave, I still hadn't gotten Starlight's words out of my head. It was creepy. That was the exact way she said it in my dream. What did she mean by that? Who was coming for her? Where was she going anyway and who was coming after her?Silver was waiting by my door."Where is Kayla?" I asked her.Silver raised a brow. "I don't think it's time to say goodbye yet," she joked. "Silver this is serious, where is she?""Settling Starlight for the night, pretty boy, don't get too salty." She saw the worry in my eyes. "What happened?" "Starlight was here earlier. She said something.""Starlight talked? To you? What did she say?""She wants Kayla to let her go...she said something like 'When she comes for me, tell Kayla to let me go. I must go for him to come,' I think," I looked up at Silver. "Does that make any sense to you?"She had the biggest frown on her face. "What the heck was that? Was that a spell?""That was

It was a solemn 2 hour drive. We got to our destination a little after 10. It was the heart of town yet it was nothing like I remembered those years ago when I first came here. It was too quiet, nothing like the city prowling with tourists and college students up for a bit of adventure. I doubt college students would want to come here for now when the fear of not returning home is still very prevalent. So far we didn't meet any Daemons but it's not like they would waiting for us by the side of the road anyway. They know we are here and are probably keeping a safe distance. Either that or they are bidding their time while they build an army.Silver cut the engine and silence reigned. The center of town.The last time I was here I visited the Hotel Magnificent... the name is actually in French but don't ask me what it is, the is not the time and place for French. It's a reconstructed castle from Medieval times. Apparently, it belonged to a king's mistress and was given to her after the

A surge of power invaded the entire space. The doors banged heavily against their hinges, emitting a creaking sound that was terrifying and creepy. A low hollow sound like the howl of a ghostly forest escaped from inside the doors.The cold that had earlier swept through the hotel became even colder. Turns out I haven't become immune to cold, at least not this kind of cold. I hugged my arms around myself but it was a useless effort. My nostrils crusted with thin layers of ice, my throat became frozen. My teeth began to chatter, my top jaw hit hard against my bottom jaw uncontrollably. When I opened my mouth, vapor poured out, white and extremely foggy.Beside me Silver, Miles and Kayla weren't faring any better. Kayla was cold, I could tell from her grimace but she faced the cold doggedly, refusing to wrap her arms around her body. There was a look of pure anger on her face. "They sure know how to make an entrance," Silver said beside me. Her teeth chattered so badly it was almost
