Glancing down at the blood trickling down my leg, I could not help but snort at my own misery. Darren looked guilty, and after a moment of thought, he promised, "I'll bring you your favorite roses when I get back tomorrow." With that, he zoomed off in his car. Holding the mate contract release form in my hands, I let out a relieved breath.

Ryan sits on another side both are facing each other and look into each other eyes and slowly they reach on top but suddenly lights went off and the Ferris wheel stop. Emily scared and get up from her seat to hugged Ryan, he calms her but suddenly there were beautiful fireworks in the sky. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY" it's was written in the sky with fireworks lights. Emily eyes wet with tears of happiness and a smile wide. Ryan saw every action of Emily and after some time there was another word written in the sky, which makes Emily's heart beat faster. "I LOVE YOU, EMILY" Emily didn't believe what she saw.

Until I flashed the bright LED beam down the stairs. “Back off, Kujo!” I called out from the doorway. I moved the beam, trying to spot the thing down there. “Where is it?” I whispered. The tablet wasn’t handy in this situation, so I carried only my phone. “The light stopped it.” So Price was right about the LEDs. “Good news,” I muttered, starting down the stone steps.

Feeling more confident, I crossed the basement up to the central pillar, careful to keep the light aiming always a little down, between the corner and me, like drawing a limit.

As she finally grasps it, she clicks it on, its beam of light piercing through the obscurity and offering a glimmer of reassurance. The flashlight's feeble glow dances across the room, revealing only fragments of her immediate surroundings, leaving the rest shrouded in shadow. Every creak of the chalet and every gust of wind outside sends a shiver down Elizabeth's spine. The symphony of raindrops against the windows melds with the rapid thumping of her heart, creating a disconcerting harmony that echoes through the kitchen.

Yuki grabbed something out of her scarf that looked like a necklace with a tag and gave it to the young man. “Thank you very much.” The young did something behind his desk for a while before giving the tag back to Yuki. “Here you go. 1000 Bytes has been deducted from your account.” Yuki accepted back the tag and wore around her neck again while saying, “thank you.” As they walked towards the designated room, Matthew had to ask. “What is that thing around your neck Yuki?” “It’s my Hunter ID tag.

Standing in the middle of it all, I get a powerful whiff of flesh decaying and think to myself, "Not again" before pulling out my phone.
