It looked like a junkyard that had been reclaimed by nature and desperation. There were no stone castles or glass mansions here. Instead, there were shelters made of corrugated metal sheets, old shipping containers stacked like building blocks, and cabins constructed from rough-hewn logs. ‎ ‎But it wasn't dead. It was teeming with life. ‎

Father picked up a piece of steamed bass with his own fork—Matthew's favorite—and laid it gently on the empty plate. "Here, Matthew," he murmured. "Eat up. Look, I picked out all the bones for you."

It was getting dark already so we got settled in as Aunt Lora prepared dinner with mum's help. I could hear them laughing from upstairs,that's why I hated this house,it was in the middle of nowhere where you would see only farmlands and cows. Gosh.

Kai cleared his throat, nodding at me. "And Ayra," Nathaniel added reluctantly. We burst out of the woods, and the first thing I saw was a wooden gate. It was broken on its hinges, and wide-open, giving us a view of the front yard of the mansion. Bones and skulls littered the floor, alongside some dried blood. The blood looked fresh too.

The black motorcade rolled over the fresh snow and carried on toward the gleaming heart of the city, leaving behind forever the legless beggar sobbing in the drifts.

With his voice lowered, he said, "If you have something to say, say it directly. Beating around the bush isn't your style." Daniel replied, "What I mean is, Kristen is already dead. So, whose bone marrow are you planning to use to save your sweetheart this time?"

She asked. "Just trust me." Roman sounded happy and she felt his giddiness through their touch. Finally, they came into a small clearing and approached an old house. The paint was extremely faded and strands of spirogyra seemed to be crawling around the base of the house. The handrails were rusty and one of the weak wooden stairs to the porch was broken.
