LOGIN"Why are you blaming me for this? They're yours, you know." Mimi asked."But u chose them.""Not really. I chose wrongly?" Their looks were top notch and their characters was really good too. What's wrong with a little childishness? At least there was the mature Adrian and the calm Ethan. Hmph! "No." Lila smiled raking her fingers through Lucas' hair. "They're perfect."Mimi rolled her eyes."Wait. Why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to go get the contract?." Lila asked. She had almost forgotten about it again. These days her memory was really messed up. Could it be her confusing dream with reality? She has been having some really weird dreams lately, so much that she thinks it's messing with her thought process."I'll do that soon." Mimi assured, but lika was unconvinced."You have to hurry. I'll be leaving for City K soon and I need you here in the house." After she left, only Mimi would be able to help the others leave the house and come back in without problems. Addition
Lucas was already awake when Lila stirred in his arms.One arm was wrapped around her waist loosely, his fingers absentmindedly tracing slow circles against her skin.Lila opened her eyes slowly, still sleepy. The room was warm and quiet.She shifted closer to him instinctively. "Morning..."Lucas looked down at her and smirked slightly. "You're awake. Good"Lila squinted. Before she could ask anything, he tilted her chin up and pressed his lips against hers.Lila froze for a second before pushing weakly against his chest. "Lucas- I haven't even brushed yet.""I know," he murmured against her lips, sounding far too pleased about it."Disgusting.""You still taste nice.""Shameless."He chuckled softly and cupped her cheek as he leaned in. Their lips met softly, pressing together in slow, lingering kisses. He savored the warmth of her mouth, brushing his lips against hers again and again. She sighed, her fingers sliding into his hair, pulling him closer as the kisses deepened.He caug
The cars slowly rolled to a stop in front of the gates.“Identity verified. Welcome to Queen’s place.” The mechanical voice sounded cold and clear.The gates opened slowly and everyone drove in. Some of them still weren’t used to that voice.Xiao Bai scratched his head. “Boss… that thing still scares me.”“No one asked,” Victor said.Xiao Bai shut his mouth immediately. No one knows what happened but since the ride back, Victor had a weird look on his face.I should have just taken the other car. Xiao Bai thought.After they settled down, the living room quickly became noisy. Those that were left at home were now sitted to hear about the things outside.“They’re a bit faster now and stronger.” Lao Hu muttered.“I swear that one almost dodged me.” Xiao Bai said.“That’s because you’re slow.” Mimi stated.“I’m not slow!”Lila ignored them.She brought out the cores and placed them on the table. They were small and shiny. But filled with energy.“Use these,” she said putting some aside i
At first, they thought it was just rain. Then the zombies started moving strangely. They twisted in abnormal ways and kept growling for what seemed like hours.After that, their movements weren’t as stiff anymore and their heads turned more naturally. Inside a supermarket, two men didn’t dare move all night. They had locked themselves in the storage area, surrounded by shelves and boxes.“I told you we shouldn’t have come out,” one of them muttered, pacing.“Then what, starve?” the other snapped. “You want to eat air?”The first man, Leo didn’t reply. He just peeked through the small gap again. The zombies outside were still wandering around. But they were not like before.“They’ve changed,” he whispered.“Obviously.”“No, I mean it. Look at them.”The second man, Jace hesitated, he moved closer then froze. “Yeah.”The zombies weren’t just wandering around. They were following a particular one. Like it's their leader.A loud sound suddenly echoed outside making both men flinch.“Did
Even though the men took turns keeping watch, Lila didn’t sleep deeply. Mimi was unreliable.At any moment, she could wake up to find the roof gone or worse, the house on fire.By morning, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still dull and heavy.Lila stepped out and scanned everyone. “Status.”“Water ability,” Lao Hu said, unable to hide his excitement. A small stream of water formed in his palm before dropping.Victor leaned against the wall. “Level eight.”Adrian didn’t say anything, but his gaze met hers briefly. Level eight too.Lila narrowed her eyes slightly. Although they didn't awaken they had skipped almost three levels and were now in level eight. Even she wasn’t there yet. Interesting.Breakfast was quick. The excitement in the room was obvious.They wanted to see what changed. What the zombies had become.Lila didn’t stop them. Instead, she stepped outside and waved her hand. Several vehicles appeared in front of them. Not the old ones, these ones were stronger and reinf
By the time they got inside, the rain had already soaked through their clothes.Lila leaned against the closed door for a second. The room felt warmer but something wasn’t right.“That wind was insane,” Xiao Bai said.Lucas smirked. “I handled it.”“Actually, you almost blew the house away,” Victor replied.Lila didn’t join in. Her head felt heavy. At first, she ignored it. But then her vision blurred slightly. She frowned glancing at the others. “Do any of you feel that?” she asked.Gu Yu rubbed his neck. “Now that you mention it… I feel a bit weird.”Victor’s brows pulled together. “Yeah… me too.”Lila’s gaze sharpened. Her eyes moved quickly and stopped on Ethan. His lips were darker. Not just purple, it was almost black. “Ethan.”He looked up. “Hmm?”“Are you using your ability,” she said slowly. He blinked. “No.”Lila stepped closer and the dizziness grew worse. “It’s leaking,” she said.Everyone froze.“What?” Xiao Bai asked almost jumping in his seat.“Your poison,” Lila said,
