Chapter 8: Undetectable Armor
Win carried Ela downstairs to tuck her into bed. She fell asleep, crying on his chest surrounded by his embrace. He fixed her comforter and sat beside her. He smiled seeing her at peace. He gently stroked her hair.
"I badly wanted to tell you that you're the reason why my heart beats, but..." His voice trailed off. He let out a chuckle and touched his left chest using his free hand. "But this already stopped beating. I just hope... I hope I was able to make you feel how much I love you," he said with a sad smile.
"Faye Elanise... my heart might have stopped beating, but it never stopped loving you."
"It's you. It would always be you... my star."
He kissed her forehead and stood up. He headed to the door and switched the light off before leaving.
FOUR o'clock in the morning and Win is finally ready to visit Mount Maiking. He snatched the map he found inside Ela's bag last night. His trip went well, thoRelated chapters
What Lies Within You [ENGLISH] Chapter 9: His Monsters Inside
ERA found her sister in the living room watching on the television while eating her boel of cereal. Ela looked like she just woke up. Her blonde hair is a bit messy. She quickly turned her gaze to Era who went near and sat beside her. "Uh, N'Faye?"Ela stared at her which made her wince. "I am with some acquaintance," she awkwardly said before shouting at the door. "Hey, uglies! Come inside!"Black and Mijo were still debating who would enter first so Yuri had to forcefully push them inside. Flute and Yuri entered after them. They roamed their eyes around the living room, their mouths left in awe. The house isn't a mansion, but is large enough knowing only 3 people live there. Brown, White, and Black were the only colors you could see, and their portraits weren't an exemption. They were given vintage feels."It's nice here. Classic," Mijo commented. He was amused and even felt envious that their house isn't like this. He c

"I'M not sure if he'll agree with this, so start calling all the saints you know," she said with a serious face.They were inside Ela's room in her study corner to prepare some documents. Mijo's tapping his fingertips on Ela's table beside her bed as he watched Black preparing their documents and Ela with Flute, setting up her laptop for the video call later. He then rested his chin above both of his palm and frowned at them, getting bored. "Why do we have to do this?" he asked.Era heaved a sigh and turned her phone off. "Shia! How many times do we have to tell you?" she asked and shook her head lightly."We're his children and we're both ladies. He's protective to us. I swear, we have to do this. We've done this before. And take note! The people we took for an overnight were all girls! He was so hard to convince, yah know! Especially that you'll be staying here for who knows how long. That makes it complicated.
What Lies Within You [ENGLISH] Chapter 11: The Masked
"THE Masked?"Everyone is staring at Black, wearing puzzled looks. They've been thinking if he's near to totally losing his mind that he's blabbering things out of their topic so much. It didn't brush his smile off though. He let out a chuckle, darting Ela a look."Do you know the Four Horsemen?""Sounds familiar," she answered. She squinted her almond shaped eyes as she tried to remember where that name came from. Her face brightened. Right! She remembered watching it on YouTube just two years ago. "The group of illusionists on the 2013 movie, Now You See Me?" she said, more like becoming a question, sounding unsure. She cannot trust her memory. It sometimes fail her. But no, that movie was a masterpiece! She can't forget it! That movie blown her mind away thinking about how they rob—Her eyes widened and abruptly turned her head to Black whose smile never faded, completely entertained at h
What Lies Within You [ENGLISH] Chapter 12: Maggie
They were peacefully eating the breakfast Ela cooked. Almost everyone seemed to have a really good mood after getting enough sleep. The sound of the utensils clashing at each other could be heard in the dining.Mijo shoved his last strip of bacon and a spoonful of rice into his mouth. "Oy!" he suddenly yelled, making them flinch. The twins eyed him sharply. He was taken aback, wondering if he did something wrong.Ela rolled her eyes. "Don't you know that it isn't nice to talk when your mouth is full? Manners please," she said shooking her head lightly."Chai! If Dad was here, he'll surely kick you out," Era added.Mijo raised both of his hands in defeat as he swallowed his food. He drank his water and cleared his throat. "I just wanna say that we won't sleep here tonight. We'll go home and get some clothes," he said, pointing at himself, Black and Yuri.Black nodded. "We're bother
What Lies Within You [ENGLISH] Chapter 13: The Plan
"Crashing into a concert isn't easy, do you know that?"They were gathered inside the nipa hut located at the Garcia's house rooftop. Finally having a free time to settle their plans on getting people's attention through their abilities. Wearing serious faces... except Era who smiled widely, facing her phone as usual, saying she couldn't miss any of her free hours without maths so she had to finish the series she's been watching and Mijo who seemed to be waiting for a time where he could drop another of his puns. The rest took this matter seriously. How could you not anyway when it's a bigtime K-Pop boy group's concert they will be messing with. Not to mention the security they'll be encountering and the staffs.With Black's question, everyone nodded, saying they knew how dangerous what they're going to do is. Black stared at each of them, sighing deeply, seeing Era and Mijo both grinning despite their serious auras. Era frowned when she f
What Lies Within You [ENGLISH] Chapter 14: When in Korea
"GOSH! I still can't believe we had to skip classes just for this!"They've been wanting to cover their ears, getting tired of Ela's never-ending rants since yesterday. They were forced to skip classes for their trip into Korea, aiming to fulfill everything Black planned.Ela swayed her blonde long wavy hair frustratedly. "That Korean is so unfair!" she almost shouted, remembering Black's smile while watching them leave their own house. He insisted to stay because he was already crossed out in the list of choices who would be disguising. He also used his scholarship at their school, saying he can't skip classes. Ela obviously disagreed with that, telling him if he think they're still in high school where they can freely skip classes without the thought of failing. She's grade conscious even if it doesn't look like it. Another thing is she won't be seeing her boyfriend! She's worried! Not because she's thinking he would find another girl, b
What Lies Within You [ENGLISH] Chapter 15: Concert-Crashers
"REMEMBER to hit them at the back of their heads, Mijo and Ela. Flute and Yuri, keep your senses alert in getting rid of the bodies."Black glanced at the unconscious bodies of the security personnels assigned here in the control room where the monitors connected to the CCTV cameras around the area where located. They're not yet dead, so it isn't really a big deal, but he isn't sure when will this last. They can't be awaken. Not now that Era is still busy taking care of the manager and the big people behind this concert. He returned his gaze at the monitors and touched his earpiece connected to their phones which are in call as of the moment."Yuri, 8 o'clock from from your standing point," he informed, still watching the footage where he saw Yuri simply looked behind, at her left side, catching a sight of an armed personnel. They were in one of the hallways at the backstage. Yuri walked towards the wall on her left and slowly, she disappe

"NONG Fayeee!"I automatically sat on my bed from lying when I heard Era's loud voice, screaming. I glared at my door and hold my pillow tight."N'Fa-"The moment she opened the door is also the moment my pillow hit her face. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh."I'll let this pass for now. You've hit me too much already with your pillow since yesterday!" she attempted to threaten me with her widened eyes and her finger pointing at me. I just hissed at her and lied down on my bed again, covering myself with comforter."Hey! I'm still talking to you! Just in case you forgot, I am 22 minutes older to you! But anywaaay," I felt a movement on the side of my bed as she sat beside me."Ouch!" I shrieked and sat again. I glared at her and rubbed my arm which she slapped."What is it again, Era? You got one heavy hand, are you aware of that?""Yes, I am. But, nevermind! Listeeen! I have a date todaaaay!" she informed me while holding both of my shoulders and shaking me.I took her hands off
