Chapter 8 - Cursed Name
When love was blissfully exhibited in the last seat between Aaron and Mrtyu, the bus driver, Cherry Hornworts, blinked his eyes at the road to wipe his sleep. Mr Alex took the Thermo flask he had to pour some hot coffee to Cherry.
“Drink this, Cherry. Destroy your creepy idea of killing us.” Mr Alex mocked Cherry.
“No, not at all, Alex. Dozing is normal for all humans. I will be careful in my way.” Cherry apologized to Mr Alex.
“Tell me, Alex, how are your days going?” Cherry opened his talk.
Alex sniffed at Cherry to look outside the bus to gather his all past thoughts when Cherry continued, “Alex… I am happy that you are a respectable lecturer in HIS academy after that incident…”
Alex exhaled while sipping his coffee, “Let bygones be in past, Cherry. Don’t bring it up. It was the horrible nightmare ever to be dreamt of. Let me, how were you? The elder Cherry…?”

After a few minutes of discussion in a whisper, Cherry Hornworts broke out, “No, Alexander, I can’t sacrifice my life for your experiment. You are putting the risk on everyone’s life. I am not helping you.”“Don’t run, you coward. We have to face our destiny.”“Destiny!!! I have escaped my destiny in the size of thread half a century ago. I can’t invite my death. I am not too old to be dead. I have many businesses to run. Oh, Alex, you have the potential to make a businessman as your driver.”“Hold your tongue, Cherry. You never accept my call for free, you called your price and I have paid it in advance. No bus driver has fared in millions, you idiot.” Mr Alex took a deep breath and persuaded him, “We started it and so we have to end this, stick with my plans.”When Mr Alex was convinced to stay rather than dropping the idea of return, the eyes of Cherry Hornworts were fi

Mrtyu bite her lower lips to control herself from uttering any words, the elevator door dinged open to the floor after a few seconds. Aaron escorted her to the room where Mrtyu had stopped him. "My room number is written in the key. I can transport my belongings. Thank you for directing me to the correct floor..."Aaron came to a halt as she unlocked her room door, entered, and before closing it, remarked, "You don't have any memory of what happened last night?"Aaron nodded his head negatively, Mrtyu analysed something in her mind quickly and apologized to him, “Mr Aaron, sorry for throwing tantrum on you. Hope you will forgive me.”Mrtyu flung herself in the hotel bed after closing her door and attempted to remember what happened the night before. "No, not now," she thought to herself as the light rays streamed through the window and landed squarely on her face.She stepped nearer the window, bewildered by the view. She has seen four m

Mrtyu again took the staircase to reach the dining area ignoring the elevator. On her reach of every floor, she admired the beauty of the Hotel Blue Moon.“This building is based on Greek and Roman architecture.” She soon picked her notepad in her sliding bag to take her notes.She stopped by every floor and wondered, “How did they build this each floor to look like... I am so confused and hats off for the architect.”She told to herself and stopped by the portrait of the masked man in standing posture. “This portrait is perfectly painted.”The nostrils of Mrtyu smelt the flavours of food and she scooted her legs to the dining area to feed her stomach.*****After everyone had fed their stomach, feeding for the brain started. As per the instructions taken from their colleagues, Mrtyu stayed back in the queue and was almost wandering lonely.Aaron gathered every student to the living area to address

Aaron pleaded with extreme excitement, “Granddad, what do you think of her.”Mr Alex trotted with a direct question, “Is this the correct question to ask me since she is one of my students?”“Nah that is not what I mean. Nevertheless, I have to bring her to you for your blessings.”Mr Alex hid his smile inside his lips and pointed his index finger at Aaron. “You got guts to ask me, huh?” after a pause for a few seconds, he asked again, “Are you sure about her?”“Hmm, I can’t explain in words that how I feel when I first saw her. It was like… how to explain this old man about the feelings of your grandson?”“If you can’t do it, then drop this as you are in the initial phase. It won’t be harder for you.” Mr Alex said those words purposely to witness the reaction of his grandson.Aaron looked at Mrtyu who was taking snaps of the Hotel Bl
HEXA : MERCHANT OF DEMISE Chapter 14 - Victorian Villa
The second villa was the epitome of Victorian architecture. The entrance and interior were too stunning, with perfection visible in every corner. The portrait of Hexa De Morte, as in the first villa, welcomed everyone. Hexa is seated on a throne-like chair, with a magnificent king-like expression and his different porcelain mask over his face in this portrait. The three girls, Gnetol Raspberi, the redhead, Nadira WhiteShadow, the greenhead, and Acantha Neptunewings, the bluehead, crushed everyone and went to the front to gaze at the portrait. "Oh, this man is majestic," Gnetol gasped. Acantha, a blue-haired girl, agreed with her friend about the portrait, saying, "He looks appealing with the mask on. Hook! Is there a portrait of him without the mask?" "I am worried," Host Hook said anxiously,he stopped as his eyeballs rotated from right to left and vice versa, "...there is none. Every villa has a painting of him wearing the mask. T

“Granddad, are you coming with us?” Aaron invited his grandfather, who denied his invitation.“No, you carry on with your craziness. Don’t bother me. I just wandered around... (Mr Alex paused when he looked at the portrait of Hexa)... here. “Mr Alex replied.Aaron nodded and scooted to look for Mrtyu. She was behind everyone else, wandering the place where all students waited before the big door, which had a naming board made of glass, and it stated, in etched words, “Laberinto de Espejos.”Everyone had fun articulating the word on the door. Mrtyu opened the translator app on her mobile and took a screenshot of the board, “Laberinto de Espejos,” the app publicized as, “Mirror Maze.”“The architect who renovated this building has purposely named everything in Spanish.” Aaron remarked, “It wasn’t freshly etched, it might have aged half a century.”Everyone
HEXA : MERCHANT OF DEMISE Chapter 16 - Domino Mask
The mirror maze was perfectly built, one needed to touch the glass surface to identify between the wall and the door as it reflects everything. Everyone enjoyed the maze and was amused to find the door to exit which was soundproofed. So no one can hear others except the people who are with them. After Aaron exited through one door, Mrtyu was left all alone in six walled mirror maze, she took her mobile and found a no-signal icon. “Damn this place. No signal. They have installed the signal jammer or what?” She clicked on the camera icon to photograph her reflection. To pass the time while waiting for Aaron's return, she attempted different positions and made funny faces. When she was taking pictures, she saw a scarlet butterfly was twirling around her head and landing on her left shoulder which was reflected in the mirror in front of her. Mrtyu turned her head with a smiling face to look at the butterfly and no presence of butterfly, “Where did it go?”
