•Juan's Home•
After school, Aaron went home without hesitation. He was really worried to know the reason why Juan didn't come to school.
Upon reaching the house, it was so quiet. It seemed like Juan and Alice were inside. He tried to open the door and enter but hesitated, withdrawing himself, and ended up knocking on the door gently.
Receiving no response, he decided to knock a little harder again but still got no reply. He then took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
Upon entering the house, he discovered that no one was in the parlor, and it still looked somewhat disorganized.
"Juan, are you home?" he called out with a soft voice, but no one answered. Everywhere was still quiet, so he headed straight to Juan's room.
He didn't find Juan there. He then checked Alice's room, but no one was there either.
"Anybody home? Juan? Alice?" he started calling out with a louder voice and searched all around the house but couldn't find either of them.
His worry intensified as he began to suspect that maybe Juan had issues with Alice because of him, or it could be that the gangs hunting Alice had come back for her. However, he wondered why they would take both Juan and her if it was really them. Aaron believed that something else might have happened.
He didn't know how to start looking for them, so he simply picked up his phone and dialed Juan's number. It rang, but the call wasn't picked up.
He called repeatedly, but his calls were ignored. He believed that Juan might be okay but was just mad at him about how things unfolded between them yesterday.
Still bothered but not as much, he thought they must have gone somewhere and would return home soon. He returned to Juan's bed and lay on it since he usually sleeps in the same room with Juan, so it wasn't a big deal.
As time passed and the day turned dark with no sign of them, he began to worry more and decided to call Juan again.
Dialing the number again, he heard the ringing tone inside the room, but it was faint and barely audible.
Following the sound, he traced it to the wardrobe and found the phone inside.
"So, she wasn't even with her phone? How could I have been so stupid!" he muttered to himself upon realizing that Juan wasn't with her phone.
This made him strongly believe that something was wrong. He stepped outside the house, contemplating what to do. He thought about transforming into his wolf form to help find them but dismissed the idea, knowing he couldn't control the wolf and might end up lost the next day.
While lost in thought, his phone started ringing. It was an unknown number, but he didn't hesitate to answer it immediately.
"Hello? Who's calling?" he said as he picked up the phone and held it to his ear.
"Hello, Aaron, it's Lucy," she responded, leaving Aaron with a surprised facial expression. It was an unexpected call since Lucy didn't have his number, and he didn't have hers either.
"Lucy...? How did you get my number?" he asked. Instead of answering that question, Lucy went straight to the point.
"Juan is here with me..." Lucy was saying, but Aaron quickly interrupted upon hearing that name.
"Juan!? How is she? Is she okay?" he asked eagerly, his posture changing as he grabbed his phone with both hands.
"Um... I can't answer that now, but I need you to be here shortly, at my place," Lucy replied. Without questioning or suspecting anything, Aaron readily agreed.
"Alright, give me a few seconds. I will be right there," he responded and quickly ended the call. He didn't even bother to dress up or take a bath; he simply jumped out of the house and got into Juan's car, only to realize that the key wasn't with him.
He rushed back inside, grabbed the key, returned and started the car, and drove straight to Lucy's house.
•Lucy's Home•
When he arrived at the compound, Lucy, who had already heard the sound of the car, stepped out of the house standing at the entrance, knowing it could be no one else but him.
"Where is she?" he asked immediately upon stepping out of the car. Lucy opened her door wider for him, and he saw Juan inside the house, tears already in her eyes.
He quickly ran in and hugged her tightly as Juan continued to cry.
"Juan, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left you..." Aaron apologized immediately, tears streaming down his face. Juan with a broken heart, remained silent.
"I'm sorry. I know I hurt you deeply with my words, but I didn't mean them. I'm so sorry," he continued apologizing, feeling responsible for Juan's condition.
"I felt terrible. I couldn't focus at school when I realized you weren't at school. I returned home to look for both of you to apologize, but neither of you were at home," he explained, but Juan remained silent, tears still falling.
Traumatized and upset, Juan acted as if she wasn't listening, even though Aaron held her hand.
"I tried calling you. I was so worried, thinking something had happened to both of you. I'm sorry, Juan. I hope Alice is here..." Aaron was saying when Juan interrupted him with a louder voice.
"Why do you want to mention her name now? You were mad at me because you saved her! You were angry because you didn't keep your horrible identity and let her die at the hands of those assassin!?" she yelled loudly.
Aaron was taken aback, seeing Juan in such a high state of anger; he hadn't seen her like that before.
"You chose to run away instead of protecting my sister, and now they have her! She's been kidnapped! Her life is at risk because of your selfishness! I hate you! Stay away from me!" Juan yelled at him, pushing him away and angrily leaving the parlor for the inner room.
Aaron was shocked to hear that Alice had been kidnapped. He was deeply sorry and heartbroken upon hearing that. He attempted to go after Juan but held back as she slammed the door almost in his face.
He quickly returned to Lucy, who was watching them from the corner. "Do you have any idea what happened?" he asked urgently. Lucy shook her head.
"Not really, but as I was driving home from work, I found her stranded on the highway. I brought her here. She didn't tell me much, just that she needed to speak to you," Lucy explained, stepping closer to Aaron and looking into his face.
"What really happened? There seemed to be more to what she was talking about. What identity?" Lucy inquired. Aaron silently stepped back, initially turning to leave but then halted and turned and returned his gaze to Lucy.
"Where did you meet Juan on the highway?" he asked, thinking he might be able to trace Alice from there and bring her home safely since that's the only thing that can make Juan forgive him for now.

The trees were waving and dancing according to the movement of the breeze that was blowing around. Juan's home was added in view as the birds that were flying over the trees were peeping. Although their house was covered with vegetation and that is why breezes are always reaching out.In no due time, Aaron was seen coming back home with his school bag.While his shirt was dancing with the breeze also when he reached out.He stands still and looks at the house "Home!" He said as he entered the house."Juan! are you there....! hello... is anyone at home?" Aaron shouted but got no reply from anyone."Okay no one is at home," Aaron said as he opens the door and entered the house and then pulls his shirt and freshen up.After that, he wears his shorts and a singlet at the top which he uses to stay at home.And then he relaxed inside the house as his memories started reflecting on the honeymoon of him and Juan.Those sweet moments between him and Juan most especially the love they made.A
Aaron was badly bleeding on the ground when the hunters came to cuff both his legs and hands.And then a black car ran into the compound and they carried him in and locked him up.And then Juan was shown as she was crying bitterly.In a minute she managed to get up from the ground where she was sitting and stepped inside the house.But she kept seeing her imagination of Alice, she just went to the bathroom and washed her face with the rushing tap.It was the worst night of her life, she feels so lonely and afraid.She couldn't sleep at home, she left the house and visited her friend and spend the night with her. ★The Next Day★... ★The GardNer's Highschool★Juan was seen as she was sitting under the flower tree where Aaron used to sit.She doesn't look okay at all, many thoughts were running through her mind.She sat so quietly and was like someone that is feeling cold.She used her hands to grab her legs closed as she puts her head on top of her lap.Everyone
"Say your last prayer!" they said to him.While Aaron was busy struggling on the ground as he was breathing heavily.And then he stares at them and checked the space that the cage has.And he discovered that the cage is too tight for four men to lie on.The hunter was busy bringing his dagger closer to his head.And Aaron used his last strength to grab his hand and turn it back to him as he stab him in his chest.The hunter fell down and then the others tried to rush in.He dived with his last strength and followed under their legs.And while they tried to turn back he kicked one of their legs and he fell down making others fall too.And then he moves backward as he stares at them and he can see that they are struggling to get up.And then he turned and started running but he was not too far when they came out of the cage.Two of them started chasing him while the other two quickly get their bow prepared as they climbed on top of the cage.Where they can be able to catch him with one
★The Gardner's Highschool★Juan was seeing as she steps out of her class and stared at the way that they followed."And where could Anna be going that she did not even bother to let me know?""She is even going with Teacher Emma," Juan said as she folds her arm.And then walks into Emma's office but someone was already sitting there.She stares at the person, although the person is a student as she can see.But she has never witnessed that face in Emma's office for once.Even in school, she has never noticed it, so this is her first time seeing the face."Hey, umm sorry who are you?" Juan asked."You are welcome have a sit please," the guy said to her as he points at the sit for her and she kindly sat down."Well... Am the one that will be taking care of this office for these past hours that Teacher Emma is not going to be around" The guy said to him.And Juan stares at him somehow because his behavior looks like he came for something else."But how may I help you?" He requested as he
"Audrey wait! please....!" Emma shouted."His heart is beating down slowly... he is not going to survive it...." Anna said with her eyes filled with tears.And then Emma quickly ran back to meet up with Anna.As she kneels down with tears and torched Aaron's heart.And noticed that the heart is dying, it was almost to death.And she quickly stands up and rushed to Audrey's house as she bangs on the door with her fist."Audrey please!" She was screaming as she was knocking on the door.And then Audrey was seen as she was inside the house as she was sitting down and there were lines of tears in her eyes.But the knock keeps coming over and over again."Audrey! Audrey! please I almost lose my life because of him!""I endangered my life because of him please do not allow it to be a waste" Emma shouted."Fine!" Audrey said as she stands up and moves to the door.Although Emma was still knocking nonstop till Audrey opens the door."Bring him in," Audrey said immediately after she opened the
"You don't know that he might still be under their chase?" Audrey said as they heard a hit on their door immediately.And Anna who was so afraid quickly ran backward...."Okay....!" Audrey whispered as they all moves backward as they stares at the door.But everywhere goes silent for a few seconds and then Emma decided to check what was wrong.She slowly opens the door just to see a bird standing out there.And then Emma and the others breathe down as she opens the door widely."Oh my God, she came to visit me," Audrey said as she rushed the bird and carries it up."Wow, it looks so beautiful," Anna said as she steps closer and stretched her hand requesting to carry the bird.And then Audrey handed over the bird to her, it was rainbow in color.Anna was slowly smooching the bird as it relaxes on her hand."That was my only friend," Audrey said looking at the bird."Oh yes, good!" Anna said carelessly as she walks out of the house.So as others joined her and they spent up to three
Calm down it is not them, I know the right car they use," Aaron said as Teacher Emma started trying to calm down.But she was never okay till the black car passed them while she stares at the car till it moves far away."Hmm, I almost fainted," Teacher Emma said as she relaxed back in her seat and closed her eyes.And while opening it she noticed that Aaron was already missing the way."Please that way!" She shouted pointing to the left while Aaron was already heading to the right.But is actually not too late so he quickly reversed the car with force without moving backward.But with the force he used, Teacher Emma fell to the side."Sorry" Aaron whispered as he was still so concentrated on his driving.And then Teacher Emma kindly stands up and stares at him somehow."What?" Aaron asked."I thought that you are supposed to be so weak, seriously...." Emma said as she swallows her saliva."I thought that you will beg for assistance because you are feeling pain," Emma said but Aaron se
Juan was so wondered how Aaron get to appear here.She couldn't believe who she was seen standing after her.She stares at Aaron without saying anything but tears were already flowing down from her eyes.So as Aaron paused and was also staring at her too."Aaron.... you are here...? how did you manage to escape the hunters?" Juan asked in a low voice and tears also."Well... all I can say is that it was a decision made by my fate""And I thank my fate for that, for making me the first person to ever escape the hunters after visiting their cave" Aaron replied with tears also.And then he spread his hands as he tries to step closer in other to hug Juan.But Juan moves backward instead as she points at Aaron."Stay away from me, after all the taboo you have done to me!"Am never going to forgive you" Juan said as she was slowly moving her head from side to side with tears."If that is why you come here, then don't bother, just go back because am never going to forgive you"And then Aaron
