So I try to see if I can move any other body part, anything at all. Toes, nope. legs, nope. arms, still nope. Damn it! I'm going to be a fucking vegetable for the rest of my life! That's just fan-diddly-fuckin-tastic. Fingers, nop- wait. Holy shit! I lifted my right index finger! Finally progress! "MILLIE GET IN HERE!" Alpha yells.

“What the hell is happening?” My eyes widen while Queen Fara chuckles beside me and splashes a bit of water at me. “It’s saying hello.” Her genuine smile was wide as she looked down at the gentle waves, and I could see that she didn’t seem to fear it at all.

In the video, she wore her old school sweatshirt and held up her state ID, her eyes red as she announced that she was reporting her mother. "My mother abandoned me.

I did not expect him to wait for me downstairs at my dorm that night, his face red as he handed me the hair clip. Back then, he was bright and handsome. While he was dressed plainly, he had the clean look of an innocent young man. I had heard rumors about him before. Everyone said he was stingy. Even when his roommate accidentally used his shampoo a few times, Jason made him pay for it. But now, he was willing to give me such an expensive hair clip.
