I glanced down and saw what appeared to be thousands of bones. Some broken, some intact and some that didn't belong to a person. Are these from all of the demon’s victims? I carefully tried not to break any of the bones while not tripping. It’s like it goes on forever- As far as I can see.

Within seconds, he had managed to pin Amber between his body and the carpeted wooden floor. "Don't you see? My hands are just bones covered with skin! Your teeth will fall out if you eat them!” the woman exclaimed as she could no longer think normally. Whatever came to mind just slipped out of her mouth. She was really desperate. "That's exactly my favorite part. Human bones," Mister Cold replied, holding back a laugh. He was happy to see the stupid woman suffer. “Now, say goodbye to the world. You will soon become my delicious meal.” "No," Amber sighed while glancing at her hand which was getting closer to the man's mouth. When Mister Cold gaped wide, she screamed at the top of her lungs.

The cold air hit Robert as soon as he stepped outside. The gust gnawed at the flesh of his face. This is what the cold seasons felt like every year in these dreary hills, but he was no stranger to it anymore. Caine was already waiting for him outside the structure, just as his messenger had said. Robert glared at him through the columns of breath that escaped his nostrils. Caine absorbed his look and shot it right back at him. He opened his mouth to speak but was suddenly cut off when Robert put his hand up.

It glared through twisted branches like an eye that had seen too much, then stopped judging. Cold. Eternal. Familiar. Its light caught the ragged edges of the ridge and silvered them. The stones around us cast no shadows, like even they were afraid to interrupt the stillness. Smoke curled from the remains of the fire, thin and pale as old ghosts.

Then Ding Hao noticed that the hand bones on the cyan-gray skeleton moved slightly. Then, something strange happened. The cyan-gray skeleton suddenly seemed to have melted.

The cyan liquid kept surging to the center.

The caption read: "Someone spent all day cooking so I could have a taste of home. Love you." I stared at the screen. In the corner of the photo, part of a hand was visible. It was Kian’s hand. The watch on his wrist was the one I’d saved up for months to buy him last year. The table was overflowing with food. Braised short ribs, garlic butter shrimp, and a steaming pot of Tuscan white bean soup. Even through the screen, I could almost feel the warmth oozing from the dishes. Then I looked down at my own table. The frozen ravioli sat there in its plastic container, frost still clinging to the edges from the grocery store freezer.

"Fix it. Send someone here now." "Yes, sir. Right away." I hung up. The cold worked its way under my jacket, crawling along my spine. My hands shook once before I made them stop.

My wrists looked like brittle twigs, ready to snap at any moment. "I'm trying," I whispered. The spoon clattered against the bowl.

So in their eyes, I was nothing more than a tool to be completely drained of worth. The storm felt as though it were freezing my organs solid, but I summoned the last of my strength, curled my fingers and pushed the car door open again. My stiff limbs gave way the moment I stepped out, and I fell hard into the snow. Hearing the noises from my end, Zachary scoffed, his sneer almost visible in his voice.

She hesitated before answering. “Hello?” A familiar voice slid through the line like oil. “Good evening, Miss Solche.” Her blood turned to ice. Caldwell.
