It was while he had his attention piqued on what was on the floor, that was when Azura finally got a hold of himself. "You've got nerves, Arcade. What the hell are you doing here in broad daylight? I've always thought you were a nightwalker." She began but Arcade still has his back at her. "I guess I was wrong" She added.

Eric believed her without a doubt, and the next second, he took out a lighter and tossed it onto my pile of stuff. The flames roared to life in an instant. "Yvonne has a point, if you're going to leave, then leave everything behind!" As the fire devoured each item, my heart crumbled into pieces. 'Eric, our decade of love is now just ashes,' I thought. I climbed into the car by myself, gazing at the house I had called home for so many years as it slowly disappeared from view. I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed a number.

I asked. Andrea didn’t look up. “Raphael Moretti.” She said nothing else. I didn’t ask anything else. Inside Mathilda’s office - Cassius The room was all clean lines and expensive restraint. Mathilda sat behind her desk like she’d been built for it. Seventy percent of the city’s legitimate logistics infrastructure ran through Verizon’s network.

Sia soon excused herself to go to her other friends and that gave Irena the opportunity to question her. "What's wrong Mia? You look pale." "D-did you notice s-somethibg strange?" I murmured, reluctant to scare the poor girl but was desperate to let someone know. "You mean the strange red eyed man and how something blurry moved past the fire just now?" Irena asked and my jaw almost hit the floor. "You noticed?." "I'm not blind, Mia."

Chapter 7: Flickers of Light The arcade wasn’t much, not anymore. Once, it had been part of a strip mall that housed a diner, a video rental, and a hair salon. Now the diner was boarded up, the video rental long gone, and the salon windows caked with grime, a ghost town within a ghost town.

Hence, this part of the city was quiet compared to the buzzing main square of Rancid City.

Reyna- “It has been a week since the CEO of Wolf Tech has gone missing. For those that don’t know, he is the creator of the virtual reality game, known as Arcane Realm. The game has become exceedingly popular since it was first announced to be released a year ago. Many had lined up to purchase the gear needed to play the game. Since it was released the day before CEO Luka Alder went missing, it has been a popular topic. Arcane Realm was created as a fantasy role-playing game…” The lady on the radio continued talking, but I reached over and turned it off.

Doug/ /We need to get back now. Me/ /Alpha, look at the sky. Peadar/ /Shit, it looks like our Luna might be a tad upset. Niven/ /BACK TO THE PACK HOUSE NOW. ME/ Five of us broke off running full speed back to the pack house. The sky continued to darken as we grew closer. We tore through the rogues sliding to a stop as we reached the pack house. Fredrik was standing there beside Aerian as they held off the rogues. I let out a menacing growl when one of them lunged at her. I stood there mesmerized as I watched her nails turn into claws. Aerain dropped to the ground sliding under the rogue as he flew over her. Her nails raked along his soft underbelly disemboweling him as she went. He hit the g
