Midnight Howling

ADY"Dad, I can't see the road, and it's raining too hard!"It rained heavily all night, and no streetlights could help people find their way. If Dad had stopped the car, we would have been stranded."There's no way we can go back, Ady. If we do that, there will be a landslide, and the river might overflow."Then, a frightening-looking creature and a woman approached our car. Then everything happened quickly. I don't know what happened after Dad turned the steering wheel to the left, but the car went to the bridge and fell off. Before I knew it, water slowly got into the car, and I saw our car stuck between two giant rocks. My asthma attack is acting up, and I can't catch my breath. No, I don't want to die yet. I don't know what happened next, but someone was calling."Miss, wake up, Miss!"I heard a man's voice and tried to open my eyes. I could barely see the young boy until everything got dark.***Present Time'Oh, how terrible! I really can't bear Kuya's scent,' I thought.I don't

ADY"It looks like you overslept."My grandmother was already making us breakfast in the kitchen. I haven't had much sleep since the party. I drew until late at night. It's been over a week since I pulled at the last minute, and I still haven't had a chance to unwind. I also thought about Damon, someone I met at the party who suddenly left. I haven't seen him since that night, even though Elsa says I have. I thought he was trying to avoid me.I stayed up late to tell my grandma what had been bugging me for a few days and nights. Because I didn't want her to worry more, I didn't tell her about my dream. She knew I was having a nightmare, but I stopped telling her that I was pretending that it was gone. There was no way I would say to her it came back. Grandma made me coffee and sat it beside my plate while I ate."Ady, how are you?" Granny asked. "It's been difficult to have a proper conversation since we relocated to the city, even during meals.""Sorry, granny, for being unable to spe

ADY“Hey there, granny! Good morning!”After finishing my breakfast the following morning, my grandma heard a knock at the door. As I was getting ready for school and brushing my teeth, I suddenly heard Jasper’s voice coming from the living room.Jasper told Granny, “Yes, Granny, we’re both going to school.”“It’s good. Your kindness will help me worry less about my granddaughter,” said Granny.Jasper grinned and rubbed his head. “I just want to clarify, granny, that if your granddaughter were to develop feelings for me, it wouldn’t be my fault, right?”Granny laughed at what Jasper said, but I frowned.“Shhh, what are you saying? Who could fall for you?”The sight of my hair falling over my shoulder startled Jasper. I like how this hairstyle suits me. He couldn’t help but flash a mischievous smile.“Hey, are you trying to get my attention?” Jasper said it cheerfully and kept a smile on his face.I raised an eyebrow curiously. “Um, sorry to bother you, but I wondered why I should get y

ADY ‘Aah, geez, I have goosebumps...’ I felt a cool breeze on my back and absentmindedly scratched my neck. I suddenly felt a tingling sensation in my hair, causing me to quickly turn around in search of what was causing it. The air conditioner sprang to life as soon as we entered the room. It’s interesting to note how impeccably tidy and well-arranged that room is, giving the impression that it belongs to someone with a meticulous personality. “Waah!” I heard Elsa’s voice coming from the bathroom, causing me to look in that direction quickly. I casually dropped my backpack and made a beeline for the restroom. “Oh my goodness!” Elsa let out another scream. “Wow, just take a look at this amazing bathroom and...” I let out a small breath. I felt a sinking feeling in my chest at that moment. I never expected Elsa to be so fascinated by the bathroom. I turned away from Elsa and made my way over to a couch. ‘Why isn’t there a bed here? Isn’t he sleeping?’ I thought. I glanced at the

ADY “Where on earth is he?” I kept searching for Damon, but I always returned to the Ruins. I casually hopped over the fence and entered. The ruins are shrouded in an eerie silence, with darkness enveloping everything. I heard some unusual sounds coming from above. Out of nowhere, a hand landed on my shoulder, instantly sending a wave of warmth through my body. Damon casually stood in front of me and effortlessly switched places with me. I witnessed the boulder narrowly miss Damon’s back, causing a surge of shock to course through me. The boulder shattered upon impact, yet he remained utterly composed. How did Damon manage to surprise me and enter without my knowledge? How was he supposed to anticipate the rock falling in the darkness? “Uh, h-how’d y-you do that?” I stutter. Damon glanced at the boulder, then again shifted his gaze towards me. “We should probably go before something falls on us.” Damon gently grasped my hand and suggested, “Shall we go?” He guided me to a differen
