There was nothing friendly about them, just severe looking with apparent danger edge onto their expressions.“State your business?”“Thomas Roman or Maya Asher please.” Gia said forthright.The man looked at her for a long time.

Slowly getting onto her feet she opened her hand, the ring still nestled in her palm.She slowly walked towards the door and turned the doorknob. It opened.

Maya was very worried about Thomas.

Once upon a moment in the year 2000…Thomas Roman kept himself quiet that it almost resemblance invisibility. He actively chooses to completely avoid the human population. Sometimes he would make a brief appearance to defend the exploited and misunderstood women. Throughout the ages he learned that society chooses to favors disrespect, like it was their right…“Billy, no…” the female voice travel through the pre-evening mistiness. Her voice trembles with fear; breathing harshly; feeling the start of the contractions.Thomas Roman slowly sit upright listening intently. He can hear the wild heart beat of the woman clearly in distress. His hearing in tune with the unborn baby. He can smell the fresh blood. Getting onto his feet he quickly opened the tomb that’s his home. His blueish eyes pierced through the mistiness.“Tell me Gia,” Billy Asher was furious.“It hurts, help me.”“I will once you tell me.”Gia groaned when a furious pain seared through her lower body. Her fear brittle…the o
William Asher opened the cottage door looking for Maya. He raised that girl to the best of his abilities; also knowing the Doom Cemetery environment wasn’t the right place to raised her. He once applied to get her into a school for girls but she refused pointedly. A quick search revealed Maya wasn’t home. “Hello Dad,” The older man stood motionless looking at his only son. He kept his face expressionless; being on guard. He doesn’t trust his son. “What do you want; Billy?” “I need your help.” “I don’t want to help you. Whatever trouble you are in; sort it yourself.” William need to get out of the cottage. He doesn’t want Maya to walk in on them. He grabbed the shovel he briefly placed against the cabinet. He pushed past his son. “Get out of my way.” “I need your help Dad.” He quickly grabbed hold of his arm. “Let go,” William pushed him out of the way. He walked towards the area where he needed to dig the new grave. He starts to work but kept his eyes on his son who seemed ve
“Maya…Maya…” She tried searching for the person calling her. The mist stayed heavy and the night dark. She wanted to move forward but she felt her body being held down. It took considerable effort before she managed to calm her body. Now she just stayed motionless. She slowly closed her eyes. “Maya…look,” said the voice softly in her ear. She slowly opened her eyes. Fragmented images of blood appeared on the white wall in front of her. She felt a kind of cloying wetness on her skin. Her breathing sounds labored; the throbbing of her heart beat loud in her ears. “Maya…feel the fear,” whispered the voice. “I am not afraid,” she admits her truth settled in the depths of her heart. Suddenly it felt like her head was shaking from side to side…memories clouded in mistiness. An awaited touch…electrified…possibility of an intended kiss; senses passionate protection…. “Gia…” the name slipped from her lips. She tried to open her eyes but something stayed dark in front of her vision. Anoth
It took a moment before Maya managed to get her run away emotions under control. The very presence of the man in front of her has her overwhelm but also strangely at ease. She slowly stepped away from him. She took a deep breath before lifting her head to looked into his face. She stood still just studying his expression.“Hi,” she said softly, while she kept looking.

Her immediate thought he looked like the models of the covers of romance novels.“Do you like what you see Maya?” he asked softly…teasingly.She said nothing just keep looking at him.
