ANGER, CONFUSION, AND frustration were not a good combination that Nina felt during that moment. And she doesn't know how to react to Hayes' revelation.But she was also not a fool to not understand what he meant. She was able to gradually patch everything up and it just made her suffer even more.The door opened and two men entered carrying a large object that was covered with gray cloth. They put that on the side before they immediately left.Hayes held out his hand to Nina but instead of accepting it, she stood up and walked towards the object then removed its cover. The word surprise was not enough to describe what she felt when she saw the painting of a beautiful woman.Maybe if she didn’t know the history of her family she might think the woman was one of her ancestors. They're not identically look alike but they have the same eyes and lips which make them have a resemblance to each other. The woman in the painting had straight and golden brown hair wearing a simple dress yet it

"THE WORLD WILL take us apart."Nina hears Hayes utter but she wonders why she is in a dark place and surrounded by fog. She could also see the tall and slender trees surrounding her and she could no longer hear anything but only Hayes' voice."Your mind will forget me too but my heart will always be yours."Hayes' tone of voice was also a bit hoarse and it echoed around her.Nina looked around, she starts walking. She was trying to find Hayes, trying to follow his voice."And if ever we meet in our next lifetime, let me love you more than love itself."The evening wind deepened her skin but it was strange that she didn't even feel cold while she was only wearing a thin dress and she knew that the shape and the delicate parts of her body were pretty evident. And she's barefoot too."If ever we can't recognize each other."Nina turned around when she heard the man's voice again. It just seemed so close to her. It felt like Hayes was just whispering in her ears."Hayes Xavier!" She trie

NINA FELT THE glances of Safiya at her from time to time. She's sitting beside Safiya who was driving the car and she had no intention of talking to her until they reached the place where they took Argus. Safiya exhaled violently and exaggeratedly as if she was making sure that Nina would know how bored she was and she doesn't like the silence. Maybe even the idea that she was the one who is driving."If you're not going to talk to me or say something, I hope I'm not the one you forced to accompany you, right?""As far as I remember, I didn't force you," Nina said flatly."But you suggested to Hayes that I come with you even though he already volunteered."She had to avoid Hayes first. When she is with him, she cannot think straight. He seems like he can control not only her body but also her heart. It's scary how easily she forgets about her worries and problems every time he is with her."But you didn't refuse." Nina still insisted."Whatever! But still, we're not friends.""Don't

"IS THIS REALLY the place, Soleil?" Nina asked as she got out of her car and looked around.It was in a secluded and remote area. The building she saw was tall but old and it's giving this strange feeling."This is what was written in one of Argus' notes, Miss Nina so I'm sure we are in the right place." She said while adjusting the flashlight they will use. "Are you sure about this, Miss Nina? What if you're wrong? We've been with Argus for years, do you think he can really do that?""I hope I'm wrong, Soleil but if it's all true then I don't know how I can forgive Argus."They looked at each other after they heard a series of frightening howls as if it was calling for help or calling someone. They started walking but they were still not far from her car when they heard a howl again and a man suddenly appeared in front of them, his eyes were very red and glowing in the dark."Soleil." Nina held her hand tightly.She grabbed her and they quickly ran away from there but the man immedia

"YOU CAN'T SLEEP, Miss Nina?" Soleil asked her.Nina lightly nodded at her while reading a fantasy novel in her bed. That has been her hobby lately to divert her attention to other things and she is also at the climax of the book."Looks like you've not been sleeping well for a few days, miss Nina." Soleil noticed. "Do you want me to ask your doctor for medicine so you can sleep anyway?""Don't bother, Soleil." She immediately shook her head.She's already problematic and she doesn't want to end up addicted to those medicines and drugs."Where's Argus by the way?""He informed me that he will be gone in a few days, he said he has something important to do but he will be back soon." She fixed her blanket. "He said he couldn't talk to you because you've been taking care of a lot of things lately."And Nina didn't know why her chest was throbbing so violently, she also lost her attention to what she was reading and remembered her last conversation with Argus.But she also immediately era

BEASTS. SHAPE-SHIFTERS. MONSTERS.Those are the things that are written on Nina's laptop that she has also read several times. She thought that finding the truth and explanation of what happened to her this past week would help her but no, she felt that her problems had only worsened.And she felt like she was going crazy.The third time she still tried to call Hayes Xavier again but just like the first and second, he did not answer her calls."I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt you jerk." She gritted her teeth in annoyance as she massaged the back of her neck and almost threw her cellphone.She immediately closed her laptop when she heard a knock on the door of her office and Argus peeked at the door."You've been here for an hour now, Nina."He got inside and she just smiled when she saw that he was carrying a glass of milk."It's almost midnight too."Sometimes she also likes his thoughtfulness and his once in a while restriction on her. She felt that she already had a father

NINA SHUT HER eyes in anticipation as she felt Hayes' lips on her toe and slowly rising on her knee up to her legs and thighs leaving small and sweltering kisses on her skin.Natutop niya ang bibig para pigilan ang pag-alpas ng anumang ingay dahil sinipsip na nito ang balat sa loob ng kanyang hita, malapit na malapit lang sa kanyang pagkababae habang ang mga kamay naman nito ay parehong hinihimas ang binti niya.Hubo't hubad na siya at malamig din ang cabin dahil sa aircon kaya dapat lang na lamigin siya pero ang init lang ang mas nangingibabaw sa nararamdaman niya. Gusto niyang humiyaw, isigaw ang pangalan nito. Gusto niyang malaman nito na kung ano man ang ginagawa nito ay gustong-gusto niya iyon pero ni hindi niya magawang umungol dahil baka marinig sila ng mga nasa labas. But she didn't want him to stop.Nina's chest is heaving while her eyes are closed. Her hands mindlessly start sliding down her stomach to reach the thing between her legs, to release some tension and relief. But

HUMINGA NG MALALIM si Nina.Ayaw man niya pero nakaramdam siya ng pagkahabag sa mga pinagdaanan ni Rosemarie kahit sabihin pa na siya din iyon. Ilang beses pa ba siyang makakaranas ng pagdurusa?Para sa kanya ay nakakalungkot ng naging buhay niya. Noon man o kahit ngayon. At ayaw na niyang isipin pa ang mga naging buhay niya bago pa ang buhay niyang ito. Pakiramdam niya, tila siya isang patay na paulit-ulit pang pinapatay."Come." Hayes held Nina's hand and pulled her inside the library.Pagpasok do'n ay may bubungad agad na malaking mesa na may holographic map."This is the map of Mysticshire. The old Mysticshire. We called it Arlan and Ariston, two of the most powerful place back then along with Psicadiasis."He zoomed in on the holographic map and it showed a detailed castle that she's sure it's in Arlan. Ipinaikot ni Nina iyon hanggang sa tumigil sa Psicadiasis. She had one of their lessons about Psicadiasis when she was in college. Some students even wrote an essay and thesis abo

ANG ISANG DAMDAMIN kapag pinipigilan ay mas lalo lang sumisidhi, tila isa itong sikreto o katotohanan na kahit anong pilit ng sinuman na itago o labanan at pigilan ay siguradong lalabas at lalabas pa rin ito.Iyon ang napatunayan ni Rosemarie.At paano niya nagustuhan ang isang taong kinamumuhian niya ng sobra? Kahit anong gawin niya ay hindi din niya alam ang sagot sa katanungan na iyon.Nagtaka siya ng hindi gantihan ni Damascus ang kanyang ngiti, dati ay ito pa ang unang bumabati sa kanya. Ramdam din niya ang malamig nitong pakikitungo sa kanya samantalang si Greige naman ay hayagan ang ipinapakita nitong disgusto kanya na hindi niya alam kung bakit. Si Sergei lang ang hindi nagbago pero dati naman na itong tahimik.Mayroong pagpupulong ang mga ito at nagtataka man si Rosemarie kung bakit siya nando'n ay masaya pa rin siya na pinagkakatiwalaan siya ng hari."Naghanda ho ako ng tsaa at tinapay para sa inyo. Ang tsaa ay siguradong makakatulong sa inyong mabilis na metabolismo—""Wala

"HINDI NAGKATAON LANG ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanya. Siguradong pinagplanuhan niya ang lahat ng ito, Kamahalan." Galit na bigkas ni Damascus habang nakakuyom ang mga kamao nito. "Kasalanan ko ito. Ako ang dahilan kung bakit siya nakapasok ng palasyo. Hindi ako naging maingat, ni hindi ko inalam ang lahat ng tungkol sa kanya. Naging padalos-dalos ako at pinagkakatiwalaan ko siya.""Parehas silang taga-Psicadiasis, siguradong magkakuntsaba sila ng lalaking iyon. Iutos mo na ang pagdakip sa kanya, Kamahalan, habang wala pa siyang ginagawang hakbang para saktan ka." Suhestiyon naman ni Greige na halatang kaligtasan lang ni Hawthorne ang inaalala nito.Kanina pa nakatanaw sa kadiliman ng kalangitan si Hawthorne. Umaasang makakahanap doon ng kasagutan sa isang bagay na ilang araw ng bumabagabag sa kanya nang oras na mapagtanto niya ang lahat ng mga nangyari simula ng bumalik sila ng Arlan.Nakangiting nilingon niya ang mga ito. "Maari bang kapag tayo-tayo lang ay ituring n'yo ako na parang

NAPAATRAS SI ROSEMARIE nang makita na si Salem ang pumipigil sa kanyang balak na patayin ang hari. Isang malakas na sampal sa kanyang pisngi ay nabitawan niya ang hawak na patalim sa sobra pa ring gulat. Tila ba namanhid ang kanyang mukha at nabingi din siya dahil sa sobrang lakas no'n."Hindi ka ba talaga nag-iisip?" Pabulong na sigaw nito saka siya patulak na binitawan. "Hindi ba at binalaan na kita? Ilang beses pa ba dapat kitang pagsabihan bago ka magising sa katotohanan na hindi mo na maibabalik ang buhay ng iyong amain?""Nasasabi mo iyan dahil hindi ikaw ang nasa katayuan ko.""Makinig ka sa akin." Madiin nitong hinawakan ang balikat niya. "Ang mga magulang ko hinatulan ng kamatayan ng bata pa ako. Si ama, pinagbintangan na pumatay sa isang maharlikang pamilya samantalang si ina naman ay pinagbintangan na magnanakaw. Para lang may makain kaming magkakapatid ay nagnakaw siya, para sa amin ngunit binawian pa rin ng buhay ang lahat ng mga kapatid ko. Ako lang ang natira at kahit k

"DINIG NINYO NA ba ang usap-usapan tungkol sa mahal na hari at kay Rosemarie?""Totoo ba talaga iyon?""Kung totoo ngang may pagtatangi ang kamahalan kay Rosemarie, paano na tayo? Paano na kung maging babae siya ng hari o 'di kaya ay maging reyna siya?""Kung magiging reyna nga si Rosemarie, hindi kaya gantihan niya tayo sa mga pang-aapi at pang-aabuso natin sa kanya? Naalala n'yo ba iyong sinandya natin na matapon ang kinakain niya?""Ikaw lang naman ang nagplano no'n tapos binuhusan mo pa siya ng tubig sa ulo niya kaya siguradong ikaw lang ang paparusahan niya. Tapos inutos-utusan mo pa siya, kahit ang mga nakatokang gawain mo ay ipinapagawa mo sa kanya."Iyon ang mga narinig ni Rosemarie sa kusina kaya hindi siya tuluyang pumasok dahil hindi niya alam kung saan nakukuha ng mga ito ang ganoong usapan.Ilang minuto pa ang pinalipas niya bago siya tahimik na pumasok at ng makita ng mga ito ay agad siyang nilapitan ng mga ito."Rosemarie, kami na ang magbubuhat at gagawa ng pag-iigib n
