"There's good news and bad news. Helen didn't take the death of Mr. and Mrs. Carlton very well. She vanished on the same night. She hasn't resurfaced in almost six months. I think she has left Aldenvine. The Toxic Hive bases in Aldenvine have also been moved. "Ms. Miller … left with the others. The Black Ravens have yet to be seen. I'm not sure if the mission has been canceled or if they're just hiding." All leads had gone cold. Following the departure of Toxic Hive, a lot of the events from the past became shrouded in mystery, and the truth was also concealed. "The good news is that our research team has already finished the tests for the M-1 drug you brought back. We're able to formulate i

Skipping my work for the first time, I went for a bath. Before going to bed we played PS4. A game called Tekken, one-on-one, and went to sleep at 9 pm. Adam never sleeps alone. He's afraid of darkness and always tiptoed into my room, with the hope that I will be asleep. He then makes him comfortable under my blanket. Unaware of the fact that I always watched him crawling up my bed. ••••••••••••••••••••••• H. LOCKHART.

My mother dragged me out of my biological father's brutality, and I thought we had finally escaped. Then she married the Don of the Falcone family. The woman who once fought to protect me completely changed. To secure my stepfather's approval and coddle his beloved Sofia, she stood by and let them turn me into a servant in the house I was supposed to call home. Every time I pushed back, they pushed harder. Every time I begged to be seen, I was met with contempt. My biological father's fists left scars on my body. This family's marks went deeper—into my bones. So I stopped. If they never wanted me there, I would stop breaking myself for their hollow approval. I would take my own life back. In

“Okay.” The rest of the night went on without incident. We watched the bands and hung out with our friends. Z and I hung out and talked a little bit throughout the night, but mostly did our own thing. Once the last band finished, we were all finishing up our drinks and planning on what to do after. Hannah had shown up about 30 minutes into the first bands set. I had noticed her hanging around or all over Z a few times tonight. I tried not to think much of it, but I could barely contain my eyerolls at her overly friendly behavior. “You are heading home Ash?”

My assistant also took advantage of the commotion to slip me a cup of warm water, signaling with her eyes for me to step out and get some air. I felt warmth spread through my heart. After Grandma and Mom passed away, they were the first to show me what family warmth truly felt like. Just as I turned down the corridor, a voice called out from behind me. "Dawn!" The voice was all too familiar. When I first arrived in Haldon, it haunted me like a demon, trapping me in the memories of my tragic death in my past life. However, hearing it now, it was no longer anything to me. It was just a man I had long since crushed beneath my feet.

I did without a second consideration. Does she hate sleeping in the dark? I got it covered. Did she want space after our fight? I think the fuck not. I knew where she was the day she left, I had a Grayson watching over her but when I was informed that she was having a male company. I completely lost any sane brain cells. The ride back was brief due to my high speed, a few minutes later I found myself going up the stairs that threatened to break any second under my feet. It wasn’t the hard stare I received from the old lady that made goosebumps to appear on my skin, no, it was the thick smell of blood that came from Skylar’s bedroom.

My dad said. I was just about to argue, but my dad cut me off, "that's my final decision, Aaron, end of discussion, and you are going to move back to my place tomorrow. Good night I'm going home." My dad said and walked out of my house with my mum. ***

Mom and Dad took a step back in disgust, as if some plague was lurking inside. "Joshua! Get out here!" Dad stood in the doorway, unwilling to step inside. He simply shouted into the void. "Don't tell me that you're still going to act all prude and arrogant when we've already come here to get you ourselves!" Yet, no one answered. There was only the sound of the wind howling through the empty rooms. Karina pushed her wheelchair in and didn't turn on the lights. She struck up a match instead. The faint light flickered in the darkness, illuminating her pale face. Then, she lit two white candles on the table.

Except! 'Of course!' she shakes her head and went to his room using the divider door which is attached to her room. He walks inside the room and finds Asher already sleeping soundly beside Aaron. Boom! A clap of huge and loud thunder and lightning sound making all the electricity turn dark immediately around the house. Because of the shocked and afraid of the dark, Hazel jumped on the bed and sat on Aaron's body. Aaron also shocked from his sleep when suddenly there is someone jump on top of him.

Unsure of how long he had been asleep, he gazed at the moon shining outside his window, realizing it was already noon. He glanced at the damp spot on the bed where he lay. His sweat had soaked the sheets. “Come in,” he uttered in a low voice, and the door creaked open. Layla entered the room, her eyes briefly catching the dragon tattoo on his back before she glanced at the wet bedspread. “Are you having another episode?” she asked, but he remained silent. “Perhaps I should ask her to prepare your medicine,” she suggested, but he shook his head.
