Zayn and I arrived at the house on the hill. It was a manor that was said to be owned by a benvelot count and his family many years ago. But the main reason why no one has moved here since I purchased this land was because of its history. The history of the Weeping Woman. Before this area became fishing mined, other people had lived here under the rule of the Count and his family. The Count had a wife and one daughter. His daughter had been said to be the most beautiful and elegant woman. It was said by the old man who used to work for the Count and his family the daughter was pursued by wealthy and noble men in hand in marriage. There was one man who had set her eyes on.Not noble, not wealthy, but a fisherman. The daughter and the fisherman love each other so much they would meet at the beach and watch the Rainbow Whales together to commemorate their love. A promise to be together forever. One night, the Count’s daughter decided to elope and leave her title after hearing she
"You have a lot of nerve showing up here, Pendleton," the menacing ghost woman glared her pale white eyes at the old man.The angry spirit doesn't look white as a ghost; her skin is dark, and her eyes are pale. You can't see pupils. She spread her menacing ghost powers to frighten the old lord. Pendleton took a step back. His face was pale as the white dress of this angry ghost. If I'm right, this angry spirit is none other than Count Everlot's daughter and this man's wife, Viola.“Please…don’t…I just…”"Just what!" Viola screeched. "For my dying wish to come here and mock me!""No!" Pendleton cries and drops down to his knees. "I-I just wanted you to leave me alone. I thought coming here and performing a ritual would ease your spirit. Please, Viola, let me be."Viola glared. "This wouldn't have happened if you let me leave with Tomas." Her angry tone shifts to a sob. "My love…"Viola clenches her hands against her heart as she calls out her lover's name. "I wouldn't have killed my
After solving the problem involving Pendleton, I arrested him for the murder of Tomas Fren. I sentenced him to Pandora's State Prison for life after all the crime at Baltic Sea Port occurred here.We learned that Pendleton's businesses had a downfall crisis with his partners. Nobody wants to work with Pendleton because his warehouses are haunted. It seemed Viola did make her husband lose everything. She made him lose his title and wealth. Viola had her revenge already and wanted to pursue more by killing him.It's a good thing I talked her out of it. If Viola did kill Pendleton, she would turn into an evil spirit who would never rest and move on unless exorcist by a priest or killed by someone with magic. Someone like me. But that wasn't the only thing we found. It seems he also does business shipping cargo of Happy Dust. Zayn found travel logs and shipment slips in Pendleton's office. It's proof that the Happy Dust is being produced at Velasco, a city where the rich gets richer an
My first thought… I'm not too fond of it. I hate big parties such as a ball. Fancy gowns, buffet table of finger foods, classical music, and everyone is in fancy attired! I hate the dress I have on right now. Mavelin designed a black and red dress. But luckily, I get to wear my leather pants underneath. Megan Jacobi has outdone herself with the party. I thought she would go wild and out since she's such a partygoer, but I recognized some people here. Influential people from all over the world are into crimes and illegal activities. I have to maintain myself from taking down some of the crime lords. I'm a distinguished guest looking for a source of Happy Dust. It was easy to enter the party with Pendleton's invitation, especially since Pendleton isn't Pendleton. Zayn had to impersonate me as I was his partner. It's a good thing they don't check for facial recognition; otherwise, I would have to use magic to conceal Zayn's face, which wouldn't be an issue. "Lady Alice," Zayn whis
The man had fully transformed into something not human. He arched his back, started growling like an animal and started charging at the Howler. They fought violently. I've observed the drugged human as he was pierced by the Howler's nails but did not feel any pain. "My lady," Zayn whispered as I nodded. "It seemed they added a new feature to Happy Dust." Megan Jacobi had upgraded the drug. "What are we going to do?" As much as I want to capture the human and bring him back for Prisca to examine. I can't expose our identities just yet. "We wait," I tell my companion. I eye Zayn and then watch how his hands curl into a fist on his lap. He's more hesitant than I am. But I can't let a rampaging alpha beast be involved in a fight. The crowd went louder when the man jumped on the Howler's shoulders. The creatures tried to grab him and throw him off. The man firmly crossed his legs around the Howler's neck while his hands held the head. The Howler struggled to break free, b
I fought hard against one powerful monster who was considered to be second under dragons. Though wyverns and dragons are in the same family, the only difference is wyverns have two legs while dragons have four. The red wyvern swings his spiky tail as I dodge, causing the crowd to go wild. They have been cheering for the damn lizard since the start of the fight. That was thirty minutes ago. My battle with the wyvern has been going on for this long—longer than the other rounds, where it only lasts under fifteen minutes. The lizard is playing with me like a cat and mouse. It wants to play with its food before eating it. The audience and Megan wanted to see my death. They wanted blood splattered on them as if it rained. It sickens me that such people like them love to witness blood. After dealing with the wyvern, I'll take down Megan and everyone else in here. I don't have the right moment to see how I'm occupied fighting the lizard, but that is because it entertains the criminals an
My whole body is warming up. My insides are boiling; I feel like dying. What is going on? Why am I feeling this way? Did Megan poison me secretly? Did she use some hidden technique and inject Happy Dust into my system?I may have a bit of magic in me and appraise my surroundings to know any hidden weapon. I would have dodged it. "Oh, what's wrong, Ace? Are you sick? Getting tired? You know the game isn't over until the dead man or woman sings," Megan continues to taunt me creating the whole coliseum in laughter as if it's a comedy club and I'm the comedian telling jokes.But I'm no jokester.I look Megan in the eye and can see she has nothing to do with me feeling like shit. Another impulse rages through my body as I let out another aggressive groan. I fell to the ground, rolling on my sides as I clenched my chest. My heart was racing at a rapid speed that I could not control. I could hear my heart ringing—the taunting voices from my past and the audience screaming for the wyv
I landed safely in front of Zayn as he rushed towards me with such worries on his face and hit me with concerned questions. "Lady Alice, are you alright? You're not hurt anywhere. The ground shook, and everyone was in a panic. There was a lot of thing happening and- Lady Alice, you-"He is stunned by his new appearance, but I have no time to explain. "Where is the child?""Safety hidden, but my Lady, why do you look like this?""I'll tell you later," I said. "Get the child and meet me at the other side of the docks. Now, Zayn."The worried alpha wolf wanted to ask, but I cut him off as he ran back to the direction where he appeared. I felt Nagini slither around my shoulder. "You got the documents?"He shook his little head and hissed."And what of that woman?"Nagini hissed then burped as I understood since he is my familiar. "Okay, let's-"I felt an impulse against my chest. Another hammered strike had me lean against the walls for support."Shit, this hurts," this power is too mig
