“Come on! I need more pillow here.” Amilia ordered like she was the boss of the place to a Stray. Well, maybe she is, or Elena is. The Steward left her saying to just relax for a while and he will just check the progress on the Upper Ground with the Shades. They will collaborate with their plan since they need to eliminate the biggest hindrance of all, the Fallen. “More to the left.” It was evident that Elena was enjoying the luxury she was now experiencing with Amilia’s body. She was loving every minute of being free. But that doesn’t stop her from feeling she wanted more. Since it’s not every day that she would possess a body that was so inclined with hers. Why not make the best out of it? With that, Elena had thought of a great plan. No! Don’t even think about it. Amilia laughed loudly making a few Strays look her way curiously. She ignored them and straightened her back. “What? It was only a matter of time before I would be able to consume you and by that time, I will be able

“Have you seen her? How was she?” Senna giddily asked the Fallen as soon as he returned to the apartment. The little girl, Zephyr, and Lizzy were still staying at the apartment and every day worried about Amilia. They know that she had been taken, but they did not know by whom. When the Fallen told them that it might be his old acquaintance it didn’t still sit well with them. They knew the Fallen, by an old acquaintance he might mean a lot of entity. Angels and demons, or maybe a Shade. None of those choices seems to be a good pick since the Fallen was not always on the good side as they see it. “I guess you can say that she’s fine.” The Fallen said vaguely. “What do you mean?” Lizzie stood up from the couch and stalked towards the Fallen. “She looked okay. But she was not the one who was controlling her body. She might still be inside there somewhere or…” The Fallen let the word hang in the air cruelly. He need not mention the other possibility. They all knew it. They’ve been st

“Zephyr!” Lizzie called out to Zephyr but the latter was not responding. She was just staring at his black orbs that seems to be sucking the life out of her. Zephyr was changing. He looked just like how he is when Stacey’s incident happened. He looked creepy with that void eyes and the shadowy figures that were advancing toward him. Zephyr’s arms shoot out. He grabbed Lizzie by the neck. Senna was shocked by the movement that she quickly let go of Zephyr’s legs. Gasping, Lizzie tried to pry herself away from him. But he was so strong that her attempts were futile. “Found you.” Zephyr opened his mouth and a sinister voice came out of it. It was low and papery. A shiver run down Lizzie’s back and her body froze. The shadowy figures are not entering Zephyr’s body and as the minutes passed, his hold on her tightened. Black spots are now swimming through Lizzie’s vision. She can also feel the tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Her hands were trembling and limping. She was losing h

A hurricane hits Vegas for the fourth time this month. Everyone was in panic and nobody even expected this to be happening. The government was doing its best to do some damage control but it was still not enough. People are dying and many victims had lost their homes. The evacuation centers are full of the elderly, children, and pregnant women. All in all, everything was in chaos. “Dear citizens, we have everything under control! There is no such thing as scarce resources. There is nothing to worry about,” the mayor calmly announced the day after the fourth hurricane hit. “What are you talking about? Do not sugarcoat everything. We know that the government can no longer handle the situation. We are all going to die!” That statement made people in the evacuation center fell into a frantic panic. The marshals did their best to calm the people down but it was futile. They were so worked up in their life. The mothers were clutching their children close to their bodies while the men were

“Editha? What happened to her?” Linda, Lizzie, and Amilia raced towards Editha’s ward following the nurses. They were fetched by one of the nurses when they were alerted of an emergency in Editha’s room. They all rushed inside and found her empty bed. The nurses were quick to check on every room where Editha might be. But she was nowhere to be found. Amilia walked over to her bed and felt it. It was still warm. “She must still be around,” she muttered out loud. “Check on the security,” they all looked when a doctor came in and took charge of the situation. The nurses run outside to do what they’re told. The doctor went inside and face the three women standing there. He introduced himself briefly as he extended his hands toward Amilia. “My name is Doctor Baron; I was in charge of Mrs. Gerald. Who is the family?” “I’m her granddaughter,” Amilia answered politely. “Well, your grandmother wasn’t in some kind of immediate danger. She was also just resting but the alarm goes off when
