LOGINEva's POV Those words struck me, but he just resumed walking, he was serious?"Why? Why can't you let me go?""It's dangerous. Letting you go means putting your life at stake.""But I was safe before you kidnapped me. It's my life, and I don't like it here. Why did you take me away from my home? My experiments, god! I'll fail my exams. You need to send me back before tomorrow!"I yelled, clenching my hands behind my back."Forget about your exams. You weren't safe. Your life was under the mercies of werewolves in that crap you call your home. You also knew that you weren't safe. That's why you frequently quarreled with your dad about his choice of house and always glared at it as though if it were a human like you, you would have killed it. And here you are talking as though you loved your home."He said, scoffing silently. "You were spying on me, weren't you?"I asked with wide eyes."I was just trying to ensure your safety."He said and shrugged."I knew it. I knew I was being watc
Eva's PovI sat in the dining hall all alone with heaps of numerous meals around the table, I sighed and continued glaring at my meal. I couldn't eat any. For the past two days, I had been on drips after fainting in the room. I wondered if I was really abducted because it didn't feel that way.It looked as though I was a princess or something. But what I knew was that I wasn't treated like a captive.I got up from my chair and checked if anyone was around. When I confirmed that there was no one, not even the guards who were at the entrance door when I came in, I sneaked back into my room.Switching on the lights to my room, I screamed when I saw a figure seated on the bed, legs folded, and eyes closed in meditation.I sprinted out of the room as though I had just seen a ghost, and at that moment, I spotted a maid in the hallway, immediately, I ran to her and began asking questions."Please, excuse me. Do you know me?"I asked, my voice laced with panic, startling the maid whose inten
Eva's PovI shot out of bed and turned on my bedside lamp, panting heavily. My whole body was covered in sweat as I stared into the darkness of the room, frightened. Even my bedsheet was affected."It's just a nightmare."I whispered to myself, trembling like someone sick with fever. Despite it being a nightmare, it felt real. Just like when it had happened in reality.It kept replaying every day. It haunted me. The night I had encountered on the day I thought things were turning out to be good. It had traumatized me. Only to be woken up and told I was involved in a car accident.I knew it was real. I hadn't even seen a taxi that night to take me home. That was the main reason I had encountered the disastrous scene. And my phone, which I had used to take a picture, was ruined during the accident.No one believed me. They all believed I had an accident and managed to call 911. Even Rapture didn't believe me and said I was losing my sanity.Ever since then, I've been alone and barely sp
Eva's PovI ran deep into the woods. And they were catching up.I was human. Prone to getting tired. But then I reached a glade in the woods where nearly all the trees had been felled. As if some force had acted upon them.I stared around in shock. It looked as though chaos had occurred here. Could this be the result of bad weather? Or had something else happened? And why was there thick smoke rising in the distance?The snapping of twigs pulled me back to reality. My head whipped around. Only to find myself face to face with the men in strange clothes.I tried to convince myself it must be Halloween. And I just wasn't aware of it because I never had any interest in it. But the woman they had burned couldn't be part of any staged scene. They had truly burned her. And they could burn me too.This was no Halloween.I crumpled to the floor. Too scared to cry. Just staring up at them while my breath quivered.I kept looking at their dangerous faces as they stared at me. Their red eyes glo
Eva's Pov"What child are you talking about?"I stuttered, examining what she had coughed out onto the floor."You're the only one who can help me. Please, save my child."She said, taking my hands into hers. Fear gripped me completely, like the hands of fear had already cupped my face."Please, let go of me. I'll get help. Just let go of me."I summoned all my courage to speak, already drenched in rain.I attempted to call the police with my phone, given the emergency, but to my shock, she swatted it away.My face paled as I stared at my phone, which had fallen some distance from me. Was this a trap?"They're close. If you call anyone, they'll find me. Just save my child."She pleaded, snapping me out of my thoughts.What was she saying? I found it difficult to swallow the lump in my throat."How? Where's the child? I'll help them."I began stuttering, but froze when her eyes turned from blue to black. And she began chanting as if suddenly possessed.Fear overwhelmed me as I stared w
Eva's PovI should have seen the signs trying to warn me of impending danger. But I failed to understand and kept hurrying home. The illness was spreading fast and everywhere. I had almost been hit by a truck on my way back from the interview. And I guess that was also a sign for me to slow down. But, ignorantly, I was in a rush to share the news with Rapture.We had settled to Willow Creek a month ago. Finding a job here wasn't easy. But it was better than where we lived before. Willow Creek pays their medical workers well. And after hearing about it from a long-time friend, we both came as graduates looking for employment.I had been attending different interviews. But strangely, they all rejected me. While Rapture was accepted on her first day to work as a nurse.I didn't give up and kept attending interviews. Finally, today, I was hired to work as a nurse at one of the biggest hospitals here. It was a great shock to me. It was truly worth the wait. But I never expected this after
Chapter 6 Eva’s Pov The manager looked like he might faint. Victor Salieiri took the tray from my trembling hands and set it on the table beside him. “Careful next time,” he said quietly before walking away. My brain struggled to process what had just happened. I was… alive. My knees s
Chapter 5 Eva's Pov “You?” He wiped the counter lazily. “Work here? You won’t last an hour.” Two girls behind the bar turned to look at me. Their eyes moved slowly over my blouse, my jeans, my tired face. “You’re too old,” the bartender added with a laugh. “Too old?” I repeated. He grabb
Chapter 4 Eva’s Pov When I returned from dropping Mum at her check-up, the first thing I noticed was the open door. I stopped in the hallway. My apartment was small. If someone was inside, there was nowhere for them to hide and the lock wasn’t broken. That somehow made it worse. Slowly, I r
Chapter 3 Adrian's Pov “If Eva doesn't want the car, get rid of it." I said to the housekeeper as I stepped into the Riverside apartment. The first thing that hit immediately was the silence of the place. It's been three days since Eva walked out of the main villa in the rain. I told mysel
