(Asher’s POV)After Elaine opened her eyes, she was scheduled for a few rounds of examinations to check the remaining poison inside her. Because of the difference between our stamina and such, the doctors need to be a little extra careful on her. This afternoon too, after a round of examination after breakfast, Elaine was sent for another examination before lunch.I was lying on my bed. Albeit I did say there’s difference between me and Elaine’s bodily constitution, I still feel exhausted. My stomach is strangely churning although I am not too hungry, I felt pain similar to heart burn and some part of my body feels like the veins are being burned. Was that the effect of consuming a poison?Elaine probably felt worse with that small body of hers. Imagine consuming a poison but  your antibody is slow to react, it will result in you suffering a bit more.I heaved a sigh.A knocking sound on the door snapped me from my sleepy daz

(Monday morning…)Rose Chadwick almost lost her sanity. Since a few hours ago, she had been receiving calls from many media centers asking about her case and her phone just couldn’t stop ringing. Other than that, a few reporters was outside her house waiting to surround her if she go out. Because of that, she had to stay inside her house while her husband went out to work. She was lucky that all of her children weren’t here at home. If not, it’s obvious that they will also be frightful for all the sins they have committed.Madam Rose put her phone in silent mode as she paced to and fro in the middle of the living room. Biting her nails, she pondered for ways to put an end to all this. Be it influencing the media with money and completely changing  the story with her powers—much like what she did to Elaine—she had the ability to do either way, yet this time she’s in a dead end. It feels like there’s no escaping anymo

(Asher’s POV)Because of the overwhelming feeling of what Inspector Heinz just stated, I was struggling to fell into  my comfortable slumber. However, my perpetual abhorrance ended mysteriously, and when I woke up, the gentle bright ray of sunglight rising from the horizon greeted my eyes.  I was engulfed with comfortable warmth, my body seethed with something I’ve never felt before; something that heals myself, something that gives me strength.As I moved my body and was in an attempt to open my eyes because only God knows how fatigued you’ll become the next day when you literally slept late the night before, I felt something soft brushing against my arms. One of my arms felt like it touched a number of fabric, a lot more than just a single hospital robe I’m wearing and the bed sheet, while the other one rested above something warm and supple which strangely is not to my disliking. Upon transitioning between a squinted almost closed e

(Last night)‘Horrendous’, that’s what the half blood Inspector Karl Heinz concluded while seeing a headless body lying in front of him. After receiving the news of the lost of Nathan Michaelis, or, that was what Hans stated after the tracker he mysteriously managed to place inside the evil Madam’s secretary’s phone lost it’s signal. A dead battery was what Inspector Karl Heinz thought at first, but suddenly the phone moved towards un unplanned direction then suddenly died? Not so.The partner in crime of the Inspector thought the exact scenario of what happened to the secretary; with evidences of his damaged car being driven to the warehouse area, blood spraying in places, and claw and bite marks on the neck of the six lifeless body detected by his group.Inspector Heinz sauntered to his partner, who just got up from crouching beside a severed head. Because of acute damage to the face, the perpetrator’s identity is almo

(Two weeks later…)Based on the number of squirrels and birds going outside and begin collecting nuts and berries, and twigs for their nests, the seasons have displayed their apparent change. From the smouldering hot summer to the chilly cold weather of the autumn, time passed by Maplewood, like many other places. Yet, a figure is looking at itself in the mirror restlessly, hopping at one place while huffing and puffing as it tried to calm itself.Not too far from the jumpy figure, separated by a wall, there was a sound of people talking briefly, followed by the sound of knocking on the door.“Elaine?” A muffled male voice asked from the other side.The jumpy young girl separated herself from the mirror to turn her head towards the door.“Come in.” She heard her voice skidded a bit, indicating her nervousness. While she swallowed, a male clad in a three piece suit and tie entered the room. His emerald pair of eyes sta
