Pearl's POV

As I walked hand in hand with Eden to the cafeteria, I felt an indescribable sensation wash over me. It was as if I was floating on air, my feet barely touching the ground. My gloomy mood had vanished, replaced by a cloud of happiness that surrounded me.

I glanced up at Eden, my bright blue eyes meeting his piercing blue gaze. His chiseled features were relaxed, his refined nose and sharp jawline accentuated by his calm expression. His dark hair fell across his forehead, framing his face.

I felt a flutter in my stomach, a strange, exciting feeling that nudged and hit me like waves. My cheeks flushed, and I looked away, trying to compose myself. Eden's silence gave me the opportunity to appreciate his lovely scent and admire his beautiful face.

As we walked through the empty hallways, the few students we encountered couldn't help but stare. I felt shy, my slender face growing hot with embarrassment. But Eden maintained a straight face, his expression calm and collected, lik

    As the twin hunters emerged from the shadows, Eden's expression transformed in an instant. His eyes darkened, and his jaw clenched, as he swiftly positioned himself between Pearl and the hunters."What do we have here?" Eden growled, his voice low and menacing.Gracko sneered, his eyes flicking to Pearl. "Eden, and it seems he has a little snack with him."Dracko's smile was pure evil, sending a shiver down Pearl's spine.Eden's gaze never wavered from the hunters. "I'm sorry, Pearl, that I brought you here. I didn't mean for you to be harmed."Pearl's confusion was evident, but before she could ask any questions, Dracko's voice cut through the air."We're going to kill her, and then you'll lead us to your brothers."Pearl's eyes dilated in terror as she realized the hunters' intentions. Eden's reaction was instantaneous."Over my dead body will I allow that," he snarled, his fangs bursting forth from his gums.Pearl's gasp was audible, but to her surprise, she didn't feel fear. Inste

    Pearl's POV As I stepped into the musty darkness of the old house, a shiver ran down my spine. We used to call it the Ghost House when we were kids, and the memories of our childhood fears came flooding back. Kaleb, however, seemed undeterred, his flashlight casting eerie shadows on the walls as he searched for the mysterious package sent by his uncle."Why would your uncle send a package here, of all places?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The house seemed to swallow sound, making me feel like I was speaking into a void.Kaleb shrugged, his eyes scanning the dusty floorboards. "I have no idea. But I'm going to find out."As he continued his search, memories of our childhood adventures came flooding back. We used to dare each other to knock on the door, to see if the "ghosts" would answer. Now, as I looked around at the cobweb-covered chandeliers and the faded wallpaper, it all seemed kinda silly. There were no ghosts, just a creepy old house that seemed to have been left

"You're still asking me that? After all these years? I don't know any brothers! I swear, I don't know what you're talking about!"Gracko sneered, his face twisted in a cruel smile. "Save it, Maxwell. We know you're hiding something. You're just not remembering yet."Maxwell's frustration boiled over. "I'm telling you, I don't know any brothers! You have to believe me! I'm not lying!"Dracko chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound. "We'll see about that. Gracko, why don't you help refresh Maxwell's memory?"Gracko's eyes lit up with sadistic glee as he began to inflict pain on Maxwell. Maxwell's screams echoed through the car pack, but Gracko just laughed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.Finally, unable to bear the pain any longer, Maxwell begged, "Please, stop! Just tell me what

I asked and Kaleb just smiled.“To get the package my uncle sent to me, remember?"He answered in a smooth manner then came down off the vehicle.I also came out of the vehicle, slamming the door shut in a civil manner.“Yeah, I know that but why will your uncle have a package delivered to an unoccupied and abandoned building?" I was really trying to figure that out.Kaleb laughed softly, “Guess you don't know my uncle that much. He lives for the crazy things but he always has a reason for doing anything he does."“Really?"“Yeah, come with me." Kaleb said then started walking towards the building and I walked to meet up with him...I can't actually believe I am here again.
