Evans closed the door behind him as he stepped in. He had boarded a bus home, and Ophelia drove off in her car, leaving him to find a ride home. The kitchen door opened, and Jane peeped at him.“Evans? You’re here?” she asked as she came out, a small apron around her neck.“Hi, Mom.”“What’s going on?” she asked, her tone laced with concern. Then her gaze fell to his eyes, and she noticed he wasn’t wearing his glasses. “First of all, why are you not putting on your glasses, isn’t taking them off dangerous, and secondly, why are you home? You left for school not too long ago, right?”Evans reached for his glasses and put them on. “I just took it off when I got to the porch, I wanted to know if my sight was better, but I was wrong,” he lied, but she did not look convinced. “I had to come home from school because I was not feeling too well. I came home to rest.”Jane’s brows furrowed as she stepped closer. “Not feeling well? But you left this house in perfect health.. “Mom,” Evans inte

Ophelia studied him carefully.“What do you feel? Whatever you feel could lead us there.”“Pain,” Evans replied immediately and kept walking. Ophelia’s expression hardened, but she followed him.Evans reached the clearing, and the sight was unforgiving. The trees formed a circular shape around the clearing, as if they were silent witnesses, their branches twisted.The air that hit Evans was harsh, and then he stared at the floor. His breath hitched. The ground was darker, and even the grasses did not grow on that spot. The more Evans looked at the darker ground, the more unsettling it became. The soil had something reddish buried in it, even though it had soaked in it all this while but refused to leave.The air suddenly stopped passing through the clearing, and Evans’s breath hitched. His heart pounded, and he felt like he could pass out any moment, but he remained decisive. Even birds kept their distance from the clearing; no chirping or rustling of living leaves.Everything was sti

“I will become stronger. You said it yourself that I’m unrefined and I need training,” he proclaimed firmly. “You will train me more properly than you’ve done.”Ophelia stood up, her expression changing. “The last time I trained you properly, as I should, you lost control. You think I should push you harder than that?”“Yes.”Ophelia noticed that there was no hesitation in his voice. His words were firm, and his eyes gleamed with determination.Ophelia laughed then rested her hand on the arm of the chair. “You are actually oblivious to what you’re asking of.”“Make it clear to me. That’s your job.”“That’s enough,” Jasmine declared, and both of them looked at her. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to stop their argument. “This won’t do anything. Arguments won’t make him stronger. We have to join hands instead of fighting each other.”“Why don’t you train him, Jasmine?” Ophelia inquired, stepping forward slowly.Jasmine furrowed her brows. “He was assigned to you. You are the be

“What do you mean?”“What do I mean? You know what I meant very well.”Ophelia scoffed. “Are you just paying attention now? It's too late, Evans.”Evans furrowed his brows. “And what's that supposed to mean?”Ophelia relaxed in her seat. “I’m just focused on getting you home safely.”Evans looked at her for a few seconds and said, “You have been acting strange ever since Jasmine showed up. Wanna share why?”Ophelia’s jaw tightened. “She is obviously distracting you.”Evans blinked, unsure if he heard well. “What?”“Your focus should be on training and finding the people or person who murdered your father, Evans.” She replied, her tone sharper. “Not sitting in the backseat and staring into someone’s eyes. You know how many times we have wasted?”Evans moved forward slightly. “That's not what happened. You heard our conversation, didn't you?”“Of course I did, but are you sure that's not what happened?”Evans’ expression changed. “Why do you care though?”The question lingered in the ai
