The evening sky, a beautiful sight to behold.

The setting sun, the golden hour. The neon lights being turned on one after another.

A beautiful combination of rush hour and the beginning of the rest period of the day.

It's calm and rewarding after a long day, that is except Kathleen and the rest currently sitting in her truck.

The rickety truck cranked and groaned as it drove through the highway on it's way to Noah's apartment.

Kathleen's brows were furrowed, her hands gripping the steering whe

  • The Shadow Pact: Bound to the Demon    Chapter 16 - Silence in the Middle

    Noah stood still, letting the lukewarm water from the showerhead pour over him.He tilted his head back, eyes open, letting the spray sting his retinas and fill his mouth.His taste buds struggled to categorize the flavor, metallic, flat, like old pipes and city chemicals but he made no effort to wipe it away. He just wanted to feel something that wasn't the dull, magnetic thrumming in his chest.He sighed for the nth time, trying to let the feeling out.Finally, he stepped out, the bathroom air feeling unnervingly cold. He glanced at the man in the mirror.Sunken eyes, pale skin. He looked like a sketch of himself draw by a blind five year old.Another sigh threatened to rattle his ribs.He knew Kael was sitting just on the other side of that thin wooden door. He could feel him. A heavy, localized pressure that made the air in the bathroom feel heavy.The apartment had become a tomb of awkwardness after the police had finished their sweep and left them with a broken door and a millio

    The evening sky, a beautiful sight to behold.The setting sun, the golden hour. The neon lights being turned on one after another.A beautiful combination of rush hour and the beginning of the rest period of the day.It's calm and rewarding after a long day, that is except Kathleen and the rest currently sitting in her truck. The rickety truck cranked and groaned as it drove through the highway on it's way to Noah's apartment.Kathleen's brows were furrowed, her hands gripping the steering wheel so hard her knuckles turned white. Each time the truck shook and her eyes panned to the back where Noah and Kael sat, her eyes hurt.The energy around them was so strong and dense now they sat close to each other.She sighed and rubbed her brows wondering what her life has turned into.Noah on the other hand felt uncomfortable, his brain felt wrong. Like there's something he's forgetting.At first he passed it off as a side effect of falling into a coma but as he looked at Kael that nagging

  • The Shadow Pact: Bound to the Demon    Chapter 14 - As the Mind Shatters

    A heavy, exhausted silence covered the room.The room smelled of burnt sage and copper. It felt heavy, it clung to the skin like a dumbbell.Kathleen arguably, felt the most weight. Nothing made sense but did at the exact same time.Mama had long stood up to clear up the room whilst Kael and Kathleen sat on the floor in silence.But unlike Kael's fixed, stern gaze, Kathleen's was erratic. She didn't know what or whom to focus on.She pushed herself off the floor, her legs trembling so hard she had to grab something to stabilise herself."Explain it," Kathleen said. Her voice didn't shake, but it was thin, like a wire stretched to its breaking point.Mama didn't look up from the clean up she was doing. The rhythmic gentle sound of her broom against the wooden floor boards was the only sound in the room. Kael, however, flinched. He was slumped against the far wall, his knees drawn to his chest. To Kathleen’s new eyes, he didn't look like all that calm ; he looked like his was a step a

  • The Shadow Pact: Bound to the Demon    Chapter 13 - A Sight to Remember

    Silence.Not just a sound but a feeling as well. All Noah could see, could feel.The darkness stretched on and on and on, Noah felt himself going insane. The charred herb scent he had clung to had long faded with the light.He felt truely alone.The sound of his heartbeat was the only sign he's still alive but as time went on he began to doubt if it is even real.He had let the darkness take him. But a gut wrenching cry broke through the silence and his ears perked up, desperate, following the sound.He found himself on the group, bleeding. His body felt battered, his voice broke as he screamed, his throat felt dry and sore but he cried out anyways.The dust of the earth flew erratically due to the biting wind, flying into his eyes and down his throat the sky looked red as if it might rain blood.All he could do was watch Kael get dragged in to the mouth of a portal by a man he couldn't see.Each time he tried to reach out to stop the man, he felt a hot sensation in his throat. He fe

  • The Shadow Pact: Bound to the Demon    Chapter 12- What Should not be Spoken

    Mama stood over the man laid out on the table before her.A chill crawled up her spine, raising goosebumps along her skin.Something about him was wrong.Deeply wrong.Her gaze flickered to Kael.He sat hunched over, face buried in his palms, his foot tapping relentlessly against the floor.He looked like a man barely holding himself together, like one more push would shatter him completely.She exhaled slowly.Her beads and chains clinked softly as she lifted her hands in quiet surrender. The sound was almost melodic… as if something unseen acknowledged her decision.“I’ll heal him.”Both Kael and Kathleen snapped to attention, relief flashing across their faces“But,” she continued, her tone sharpening, “I need to protect myself first.”“Protect yourself?” Kathleen frowned. “He’s unconscious, he’s not- ”“What’s wrong?” Kael cut in, his voice tight. He shot Kathleen a warning look before turning back to Mama.Mama didn’t answer immediately.Her eyes lingered on Noah.“Tell me exactl

  • The Shadow Pact: Bound to the Demon    Chapter 11- On a Healer's Doorstep

    Noah could feel and hear, yet couldn't at the same exact time.It felt as if his senses were covered by a fog only letting little slivers through.The occasional slimy warmth at the back of his throat and the feeling of it pouring out his mouth onto himself, he felt it.He could also feel Kael pace round the room, Kathleen's warm hand on his skin and, though muffled, the sound of their argument."We need to get him to a hospital now, why can't you understand that" Kathleen raged, her hand squeezing the sofa so tightly the fabric wrinkled beneath her grip.She understood she can't fight him off and make a run for it with an unconscious, constantly vomiting Noah. She needs his help to move Noah but for some reason he refuses to help her take him to the hospital.Kathleen made up her mind, consequences be damned, she needs to get her friend to the hospital.She rubbed the tears away from her eyes and grabbed onto Noah to hoist him up but as she did so more blood gushed out of Noah's mout
