My heart is throbbing. This feeling is unusual as I've never felt scared since I lived in this world. I can sense as though danger is near to happen. What possible risk could these men give me? They're just ordinary men, after all. I bit my lower lip to suppress the uneasiness I'm feeling. I know I look like a helpless chick in the eyes of these men right now. For the first time, I've felt repentance for getting engrossed with someone else's matter. A man with red hair scoffed while pointing to the small rectangular lock on the right side of the door.
"That door can't be opened with anyone unless his biometrics are registered."
Smart biometric door lock? I turned my gaze to the door and saw it. I didn't notice it a while ago maybe because it was covered by the chains, or I was too focused on opening the door. Fantastic and stupid at the same time! Why would they even put so many padlocks and chains in it if there's this modern lock? What was it for? I inhaled f
Thank you for reading my story. Feel free to leave your comment. 😊
I used the back of my palm in wiping the man's blood that was thrown unto my lips. I watched him while he's screaming and covering his face with both hands. My claws have made five, long incised wounds on his skin. "Ahh, you ruined my face! You monster! Keep shooting her!" He was screaming his lungs out while blood keeps on gushing out the wound and dropping down the floor. The other men attacked me simultaneously when they were left with no more ammo. One man struck me with his long gun. It would have hit me on my face if I was not able to block it with my right forearm. I heard my bone broke. I almost hold my breath because of the pain, but it's not important by now. I moved my forearm upward counter-clockwise and grabbed the barrel of the gun. I clenched my free hand's fist and punched his stomach. His body thrust in an upward direction and the pressure made him spat out his saliva. Gladly, it skips me and just dropped
Hunter was attending to a customer at the counter when Akira started mind linking. "Hunter." "Akira. What is it? Come over if you're done there. I have to discuss something important." Akira did not respond. "Akira?" He felt worried when there's still no response from the young lady. He could hear her heart rate getting slower. He exactly knew that this day would come. Akira is stubborn and it will not surprise him if she will end up messing out with humans. "Where did she say she went?"He asked himself trying to remember their conversation a couple of minutes ago."Was it Tucky Corporation?" He smiled at the customer and handed her the shopping bag. "Thank you, please come again." He said warmly. After which, he hurriedly went to their small living room at
The shooting incident was reported to the police station by some concerned citizens. So, the police are now on their way to the warehouse. "Go ahead, Prince of Terra Hella. Use your ability to make these men forget." Hunter persuaded again. "I will try." The young prince walked near the lying bodies and recited a spell. Soon, lights emitted from his hand. He extended his hand and the droplets of lights, like snowflakes, spread across the bodies of the humans. Their bodies lit up a second and then the lights faded. "How sure are you that it will work?" Melissa was not convinced. "Trust is important, princess." Hunter smiled at her with full assurance. "Excuse me, I think we have to wake her up," Connor said and started to step forward to the lying body of Akira. "Don't touch her. Let her feel the pain. She needs it. She'll be up on her own," H
"I'm afraid to give you my speculations, but the other young woman here is connected to the person who is suspected to have abducted Adele." He begun. I place the phone on my shoulder and tilted my head to clip it. "Which woman and what connection do you mean?" I put the pendant back into the box and started taking off my pants. "The one with shoulder-length hair. She's a daughter of the woman," Lucas answered. "Daughter?" I repeated and stopped what I am doing. It's Catherine that he is referring to. "Yes, Ms. Brown." He confirmed. "What else do you know about the daughter, Catherine?" I asked further. "She runs away from home when she was sixteen. Her mother always beat her since she was a kid. There's no information about her father. What's more interesting here is, her mother, Rosalia, is a half-sister of Rosemary." Lucas narrated. "Rosemary, the head servant of the Brown's mansion?" I clarified.
I went straight to the hospital after meeting with Lucas. I decided to visit Catherine and Isabel to see how they are doing. I was walking in the corridor of the hospital when I heard the news on the television in the nurse's station. It caught my attention so I stopped and watched first. "Good for you," I mumbled and smiled at the nurse on duty before continuing my pace. Ram Tucky and the other men I fought with yesterday got arrested. They couldn't explain what happened in the warehouse because of the spell cast by the mysterious prince. However, what was clear to the police was that they found illegal drugs in the place. The Tucky Corporation is now on its hot seat. I knocked before entering the hospital room where the two women are. There's no one inside except the two of them who are both lying on their beds. They are still unconscious and have not yet awakened since I brought them here yesterday. But the doctor, according to Lucas, said that they
The three Ehtrehtians walked back into the thick woods. They reached a small stream and cleanse themselves. The cold water helped them freshen up. They all sat beneath a shady tree. "I wish to go back to Ehtrehto Edis soon, I hope Lady Amara would agree to come with us." Peter started to speak. He was staring blankly at the leaves swaying with the wind. His hands are placed on the back of his head while leaning to the trunk of the tree. "I wish the same, Uncle," Connor replied with the same enthusiasm. "But, we have to be prepared for her decision. It will be hard on her side, especially that she grew up in this world," Conrad reminded them. "You are right," Peter agreed and sighed. "I don't know what Hunter did all of these days. He should have started telling her about her mission to our world, instead of just simply befriending her." He added with irritation. "Perhaps he has a valid reason," Conrad said with a sigh. "That's ri
The paper float again but this time it flew into the hands of Hunter. "Hunter!?" I didn't notice his presence earlier so I got surprised to saw him standing few meters away from me. "Time is getting near," He spoke strangely. His brown eyes are glowing, and his pupils are narrowed vertically. It's the first time that I see Hunter like this. I didn't know that he can transform this way. The moonlight on his face is making him look mysterious. "What time, Hunter?" I asked inquisitively. "Go back to Ehtrehto Edis. The Ehtrehtians need you," He pleaded. "Hunter, you knew I've gone through a lot there. My family was killed by the Aquans and they chased me! What am I? A fool that would go back to be slaughtered!?" I yelled furiously. "You still don't understand things, Lady Amara," His voice was weak and weary. He called me by that name again, twice just now. "What is there that I need to
Thankfully, my eyelids got heavy. As soon as my eyes were ready to close and fall back to sleep, the alarm clock rang again. It's only four in the morning. I forgot to reset it yesterday. I usually work during this time because it's the time when my mind works best.Without rising from my side sleeping position, I reached for the alarm clock on the bedside table and turned it off. I'm hoping to continue my sleep but before I could close my eyes, I caught a shadow on the wall. Someone is behind me! I teleported beside the owner of the shadow and clutched his neck, my claws are pushing deep into his skin."Isn't it too early for a visit?" I said in a hoarse morning voice."Sorry to disturb you," the man apologized in a low baritone voice."What do you want Prince of Terra Hella?" I said, not letting go of his neck."I-Um," he stammered. "Can you let go of my neck? Your claws hurt," he chuckled jokingly, but he was tensed.I removed my hands fr
