SCARLET’S POVI took in a deep breath as I didn’t want to destroy what we were having right now, especially as we just made up, but even the mere sight of her face kept getting me annoyed.“You know what? I’ll be right back.” I said, trying not to make the wrong step.I walked out of the living room, with thoughts of the best reaction in a situation like this. As I got into the bedroom, I paced around with my thumb in between my upper and lower teeth. What would mom do in this situation?Regardless of whatever we do, mom wouldn’t throw us out or say words that makes us feel rejected, but she would ensure we know that what we did is wrong. With Sylvia who has been seeming really difficult to control, I think I might have to find a way to put things in a way that it would sink deep into her head, and then she would feel sober.I also didn’t want something that would take days for her to be sober about it and then when she comes back, she would have done something worse than drawing tatt
SYLVIA’S POVRecalling all that had happened in the course of my journey with Brad, one memory I couldn't forget was how I felt after it all and how I couldn't hold back the anger.~flashback~I could see the look of shock on Brad’s face. Definitely, he didn’t expect that I would not succumb to his wish, especially when it had to do with my sight. But deep down, I preferred to have my sight, and feel free to do whatever goodwill I wished to do.But then, having my sight meant that I had to succumb to do evil things which wasn’t me. I couldn’t bear to do evil things. It’s more like I freed myself from a particular bondage just to get into another one. “Did you hear the words that came out from your mouth? You just said that you prefer to be blind, Sylvia. How can that be possible? How would you be fine with remaining blind? Don’t you recall all the sufferings you've been through, since the time you went blind?” Brad retorted, looking at me with disbelief.“I don’t care. I was still li

ELIAS’ POVI decided to go over to meet with Sylvia at her home as I needed to get to observe some things about her which was really necessary. I would have to experience her up close and personal before I can come to any conclusion that something is definitely off.“Hey, Sylvia.” I greeted her as she opened the door.She looked surprised. What can I say? It’s been a long while since I spent time with her, and even visited her, so she was probably not expecting me to show up, so that was understandable.“Elia.” She spoke softly, still looking at me like she had to be certain that she was really speaking to me, and I was the one who showed up at her doorstep and not anyone else.“Are you going to allow me in?” I asked, waiting for her to usher me in as it was already getting weird that I was still left, outside.“Oh, yeah, sure. I’m sorry. Pardon my manners. It’s just that…”“You’re surprised to see me.” I completed the words for her with a smile as I walked in and headed for the sofa
ELIAS' POV.Three days, and I hadn't gotten a word from the tracker. Each day, I had waited patiently for him to give me news concerning Sylvia, but I hadn't seen him at all. He seemed to have vanished completely.Dialing his number, and texting him proved futile, and I began to have an uneasy feeling. On the third night however, I tried to get news about the tracker through people I knew he had some connections with.“We haven't seen him in like three days. We thought he was busy. He doesn't take calls, and read messages. Naturally, he's not that way. We only thought his work made him that way. So, if it's not work, then…what could it be?” An elderly man informed me. “He doesn't act this way?”“Never. He checks on me every morning. I'm starting to think he's missing. Please, don't try to assume maybe he went off somewhere or something. I think you should try searching for him, before something bad happens to him.”“I'll… I'll try searching for him.” J promised and turned around to
SCARLET’S POVWhen I got to the hospital, I headed to Ralph’s ward and all that was on my mind was that I hoped I would be able to wake him up with my powers, because I so much needed answers on how to save Sylvia.I couldn’t possibly let my sister continue to be the host of a strange being. No wonder she had been acting strange as well. Certainly, she wasn’t acting like herself; just that I didn’t quickly suspect anything that has to do with possession.Oh, poor Sylvia. She must have felt so lonely, yelling for help before the thing possessed her; yet no one was there to hear her out. I pushed open the door to his ward, and then walked up to him. He was still in coma and hadn’t looked any better since the past few days since he had been here. I looked around me, then at the door to be certain no one was close by as I wouldn’t want anyone to find out what I was doing.I concentrated on my magic, and placed my hands on him as I closed my eyes for a while.“Shit! Why won’t it work?” I
Chapter 177SCARLET’S POVWe walked through the forest paths and I was the one who seemed to be leading us. It was like I knew it like the back of my hand, and I heard little steps, as Ralph tried to keep up with me. I was going way too fast. But then, I hoped the magic would keep him standing for a longer period of time, regardless of whatever happens.Finally, I got to a thicket, and looked around. It suddenly felt like I ought to stop. I had gotten to my destination. Like something had called me, and had called me to that spot. I bent and picked up a white stone, and began to make a pattern with more white stones. It was a pattern I had never made in all my life, but my hands were going faster than my brain. It was like my body wasn't mine, but someone else's, like I was fitting in bits of a puzzle. My pace became faster with each increasing sound, and I eventually produced a door. With stones, I had arranged an ancient looking door. “Be careful.” Ralph said, coming out from bet
SCARLET'S POV“We just need to get past them, and find the portal. They're not that hard to outrun!” Ralph said, turning, and running. “Alright!” I replied shakily, as we ran hand in hand, from the mass of black scorpions. They crawled over themselves, making strange clicking noises as they tumbled forth. My heart was crazed. If they happened to catch up with us, we would get stung by almost all of them, and that would mean getting filled up with poison, which would automatically mean death.“Damn! I don't think we can use our abilities!” Ralph shouted, and I realized we were running at the speed humans recognized as fast, but slow to Lycans and wolves. “Damn it!” I shouted, trying to run as fast as I could to avoid getting caught by the scorpions. I couldn't imagine what would happen if they happened to lay their nasty pincers on me. There was no way my wolf speed wouldn't kick in. Not when I needed it the most.“It doesn't work. Don't even bother.” Ralpg shouted, and I looked ba
