Put that back in the car..act like you are confident for once.”Evans obeyed and then closed the door behind him. “What else do I need to do?”“Nothing. Just keep quiet and follow me.” She replied.Evans frowned then followed her silently. The cafe looked normal, like any other, but he knew it was not. She was right; her kind were present in the café. Their energy was unmatched and unmistakably strong. As they stepped closer, Evans felt something tighten in his chest but he ignored it. As they arrived in the doorway, Ophelia glanced back at him.“You feel it, don’t you?” “Not really. It’s faint.”A light smile crossed her lips. “That’s good. It shows that you are truly one of us.”She pushed the door open and the moment Evans stepped in, silence. He heard chattering and clinking of glasses but everything had disappeared. It was just silence and
Evans felt relief wash over him as he settled beside Jasmine. "I am glad... so how was today's class? I was thinking we'd present today. I was up all night studying."She beamed lightly. "Same here. Mr. Derek did not notify me... I would not have missed my beauty sleep."Evans nodded.The noise of the students reduced as they left the hall. Eventually, they all left Evans and Jasmine in the class.“How is Chris? I'm sorry that I could not visit him and apologize personally," Evans let out calmly.“Chris is fine. The cake was for his birthday, but the one we got at the supermarket was even better..“Hello, ladies and gentlemen."Both of them turned their gazes to the doorway.It was Ophelia.She was clad in leather pants, a black jacket, and her nose was newly pierced. She had a lollipop in her mouth, and her black heels clicked on the floor as she walked in.Jasmine widened her eyes as Ophelia walked towards them, while Evans had a look of indifference on his face.He had texted Ophel
Evans said nothing.Even he was at the verge of confusion.His jaw tightened as Jasmine looked up to him.“Do..do you care to explain?”He stood up.“You have been acting strange. First, it was Edward and his friends after you then the bakery where you were running from that creepy man. Now you're injured.. Are you okay?” She demanded. “I asked you earlier and I'm going to ask you again…are you into drugs..or perhaps..you are a gang member..“Stop.”“Come on..you can talk to me..“I said stop.” He yelled angrily, making Jasmine flinch. “I have asked you nicely to leave earlier but you just want to jump to senseless conclusions!” Her expression hardened as she stepped forward. “I'm not jumping to conclusions. I am concerned.”“To hell with your concern. I don't need it.”He paused. Those words came out harsher than he intended. He knew Jasmine meant well but he was not in a position to answer anyone’s questions. Silence filled the room. Jasmine’s face was filled with hurt. Evans did
She let out a relieved breath. “Oh my goodness. I was so worried. I've been calling you nonstop, are you okay?”Evans scoffed. “As if you care.”“Uh? Did you say something?”He hesitated then replied. “I have been sleeping, Mom. I must have been so deep asleep that I did not know my phone was ringing.”“Oh, great. How is your fever? I sent you a text last night if you had used the drugs you bought but you did not reply. Is everything alright? And are you even at school? It seems like you're home, are you?” Evans clenched his jaw. “You don't have to worry about me, Mom. I'm not a teenager or a baby, I'm twenty-two. I'm very much legal and I can take care of myself well.” There was a pause.“Did someone say anything to offend you, Evans? You..you don't sound yourself.” Evans exhaled. He knew he could explode with words anytime, he could feel irritation all over him.“Like what? What do I sound like, Mom?” “I don't know. You sound like you are offended and you need someone to talk to
"So you are telling me that... My parents lied to me? Was my past fucking fake? My sister's death might be connected to the strange things happening, and I'm a very important target. Isn't it?" Evans finally asked.Ophelia nodded.Evans shook his head. "This is insane!" He muttered, then pulled the chair closer to Ophelia until there was no space between the bed and the chair. "Tell me you are messing with me right now."Ophelia's expression tightened slightly. She crawled towards him, then yanked his shirt up, revealing his bandaged stomach.“What are you doing?" Evans demanded as he grabbed her hand.Ophelia met his gaze. "You have all the evidence in front of you, and you still don't believe it? You think that man came here last night to play chess with you?!"“Of course not!" Evans snapped back. "I could feel the aura from him. He... he looked devilish, but..."“Bring yourself out of denial, Evans. I know this is hard for you to accept, but you have to accept it before it's too la
“Are you okay? I heard your voice,” he said as he walked in holding a cup. She retracted her claws, and the pain that shot through her arm made her realize she was also bandaged on her arm. “I am okay… I had a nightmare,” she retorted as she settled back on the bed. Evans nodded, then walked in, closing the door behind him with one hand. He walked to his bed and handed her the cup of warm tea gently. “You should take that. I made an order for food… I don’t know if you’d like what I wanted to cook, so… the rider will be here any minute.” She nodded, then watched as Evans sat on the chair beside the bed. He had a black shirt on, so she couldn’t see his wound. “You almost died last night. Why can’t you obey a simple instruction?” “I will live… you almost died too,” he replied simply. “If I knew that man was so dangerous, I wouldn’t have called you.” Her eyes snapped back to his. “He threw you out of the window. You think you’ll live if you land on the floor?” Evans held her
Jasmine shifted uncomfortably in her seat, then broke the uneasy silence."What was that?" She demanded, then turned her gaze to him. "Why would you do that, and where are you taking me to?""Home," Evans retorted absentmindedly."Home? You just ruined my day, and you're taking me home?""Where els
Evans quickly looked away and then stood up. He walked to the front briskly but did not panic even though he heard the man's heavy footsteps behind him."Next stop, please." He said.The driver nodded.Evans' expression remained unchanged. He knew he had to stay out of sight from the stranger as so
Jasmine stared at him as he adjusted his glasses, then walked away. Her eyes glinted with unease as she noticed his indifference.Evans went to the parking lot and found Mr Charles talking on the phone. As he saw Evans, he made a gesture for him to come forward. Evans obeyed and waited till he was
Suddenly a dark figure ran past the window, it was not the shadow! It was something else.The figure's speed was exactly like the mysterious girl's. He rushed to the window but the figure had disappeared into the woods. Could it be the shadow? No. He always felt a strange sensation whenever the s
