The chain was adjustable, allowing Aqua to wear the pendant at just the right length so that it rested over her heart. As she wore it, Aqua noticed the stone's clarity, reflecting her calm and balanced state of mind. Whenever she felt at peace, the pendant remained clear and pristine. However, when her emotions stirred, the pendant would change. A slight hue of blue appeared when she felt sadness, while a warm golden tone emerged during moments of happiness. If anger or fear took hold of her, the gemstone would darken, turning a deep, unsettling black.

I was feeling the pain of the sprinkles of holy water being thrown at me, it's like glass cutting through my flesh. I was wailing with pain as every words written in that stupid bible cuts my insides, I can feel my bile rising up my stomach as I vomit brownish green fluids out. I can feel myself weakening. It's as if my soul is being cast out of Cassidy's body.

His mood changes in an instant. He looks like Sunny just asked one of the most dangerous questions that she could ask. The sweetness of the candy is already gone and his stares send shivers down her spine. If glares can do something to a person then maybe she’s dead and cold meat already. That’s how dangerous he looks right now.

Weapons emerged from the pool of blood, and finally, the skeletons wobbled before Chase, numbering more than a dozen. Chase leaped onto one of the skeletons' shoulders. The skeleton crumbled to dust under his weight. With a wave of his sleeve, a gust of energy swept over the skeletons, reducing them all to ash. Chase turned his gaze back to the woman behind the tent. She was now giggling silently while covering her mouth. Smiling, he wondered aloud, "Are there any real monsters or ghosts around here?" The woman's movements were stiff as she slowly raised an arm and pointed to herself.

Chapter 1: Atlas Atlas wakes up to the sound of his own teeth chattering. It’s not cold. Not really. The air in his room is stale, too warm if anything, the early spring humidity sticking to his sheets. Still, the chattering keeps going, mechanical and involuntary, until he clamps his mouth shut with the palm of his hand. Another dream. Another vision of his skin sloughing off in the mirror, leaving nothing but grinning bone and gristle. Every time, it feels more real. Every time, he wakes up half-expecting to find the sheets soaked in blood and rot. But it’s just sweat.

The cold stone pressed against my skin, but it was nothing compared to the fire coursing through my bones. At first, it felt like pins and needles—annoying but manageable. Then, the pins turned into jagged knives, stabbing deeper and deeper. My entire skeleton seemed to be alive, cracking and shifting in ways that no human body should ever endure. I clenched my teeth, refusing to scream, but a low growl escaped my throat as every bone screamed in agony.

Becoming an undead skeleton was a punishment brought about by angering a witch, not a blessing of eternal life like a vampire -- although, some would argue that vampires were more cursed than blessed. “I think I’ll start with a leg,” I said, lowering the bone saw to the skeleton’s femur. I let the blade graze the bone. “No! Wait!” the skeleton cried out. “I swear no one sent me. I was attracted to the girl’s scent.” I lifted the blade away from the skeleton’s leg and furrowed my brows. “What scent?” I said. “She has a scent,” the skeleton replied. “And a strong one at that. Strong enough to make me go a little… crazy.”

In this way, no one could tell from the outside that there was an extremely horrifying skeleton in the robe. After that, the skeleton turned around and looked at Jessica and Caspian. With just one glance, Jessica felt that her body could not move. Only now did she deeply feel the pressure from the skeleton. The skeleton stood there, emanating the pressure of the higher realm, making it difficult for her to breathe. Unconsciously, she had an impulse to kneel on the ground and worship the skeleton. Crack. Crack crack crack. The skeleton strode toward Caspian and Jessica.
