I followed her frantic gesture, looking at the window again. I looked at the glass, but I didn't see her reflection. I saw mine. But the reflection wasn't mine. It was the face of the portrait.

Instead, a sound tore out from deep within his pressurized chest: a horrific, wet, mechanical screech, like a steam whistle blown through a bucket of fresh blood. He lunged.

Scott said quietly, nodding at me. And just like that, they vanished before my eyes. They had already suffered enough in life. How could they die all over again because of me?

Modern, furnished and beautiful and looking new everyday although the house was five years old already. Juana's coffee was transparent, lot of water,lot of sugar, no milk.

Garden. Branch. Third branch. Corpse dripping with blood. Loose. Screaming. Empty House. Dream. "Oh my goodness" she sighed, dropping her half empty mug. She tried to make meaning out of it, but it was a little creepy..

One that doesn't just rake its claws through flesh, it scrapes against the soul. The machine strapped to my chest hums like a predator, its silver gears whirring in time with the pulses of torment it feeds into me. Every time it surges, I feel something being pulled from my core, like muscle torn from bone. I bite down hard, swallowing a scream that claws its way up my throat. My back arches violently, involuntarily. My breath hitches.

That familiar dryness hit my throat again. My eyes felt glued to his face. I couldn’t look away. I’d experienced this before. There was a dungeon once, Rose Manor. The feeling was exactly the same as when I ran into Zero and Jackson back then. The moment I lock eyes with an anomaly that fits my taste, my stupid love-struck brain starts overheating on its own.

"You. Come with us, but don’t get too close." "The leader seems like a decent guy. At least, he didn't abandon her." "Aaron Meyer is our guild's ace and has always been a great guy."
