Chapter: Chapter 16 ~ Not every taleMeanwhile, Vladimir had led into the tent to seemingly have his fortune told.It was appalling on the outside, a dystopian sight that had broken bottle, piss wreaking and thrown out liquor kegs in its vicinitiny with a rat that might have been alive giving a thrown out ornament head. The smell was as breath taking in the sense that it would literally leave one short of breath and the air that irritated the nervous system only contributed to the outwardly guise of shrouded instruction. “Do not enter!” It felt errie and the disregard shown to it by fellow marketers was evident in the worn out aesthetic, but this didn't halt his procession or his sighting of the shaman that dwelled within."Welcome, my guest. I hope the ladies outside didn't rob you of your treasures." The shaman said.Vladimir strolled into the tent in awe at the variety of voo-doo insighting relics that constituted the decor of the entire interior."Do you always have these, 'trinkets' on display?" He asked."Well,

Chapter: Chapter 15 ~ The reason why“Even if you don’t, stay here then. Or at least tell me who Bruce Marcov is, or something at the very least. I’ve told you most of what I know already so why are you so hesitant to let me know if he’s going to strangle me or something.” Rayla said as she found much fault in his apprehensiveness and brushing off tendencies.It felt as if he had intentionally been trying to push her away and the feeling irradiated from his rough manner of speaking.“What do you want from me Rayla, you don’t even know me.” He said, in an alive tone that wrought confusion at her persistence to pry further.“Whose fault is that?” She asked.“I only ask that you let off Travis, you already have me staying in his house. Now, after I explicitly told you not to trust him or tell him about anything, you come here asking me for information concerning things in my past.” Higgins saidHiggins had now been backed against the wall and couldn’t proceed because she obstructed his path, he needed to let her off.“What

Chapter: Chapter 14 ~ I believe youRayla and Travis had made their way into the mansion as Higgins lingered in transit within the living area."what are you doing Higgins?" Travis asked, as he startled Higgins who had seemingly been scanning a framed potrait of what seemed like Travis' relative.Higgins stuttered, signifying that he hadn't been expecting to be interrupted so soon. "... I'm just looking at some frames. When I think about it, your father didn't seem like the type to own such wealth. Where did you…" Higgins replied, as he made reference to the underlying poverty that wreaked from the depiction of Travis' 'relative'.“My father... isn’t important." Travis impeded the thread of Higgins’ narrative, taking a breath, as well as a well deserved chuckle, then continued. "You can forget he ever existed, the same way you’re trying to forget your family ever did.” Travis spoke down on him, with a surprisingly erry smile etched unto his expression.“Why you… Gree!!!” Higgins dre

Chapter: Chapter 13 ~ What we know"He's..." Higgins tried to tell of who Travis was when the both of them were called out on."Are you both coming or not? I wanted to leave some scones out?" Travis asked. Their attentions had both been colonized by his single shout out. "We'll be right there!" Rayla replied out loud as she directed an unwavering curious gaze back at Higgins."We better get going." He replied, as he downed her hope at a reason to keep away from Travis's prying eyes.She became vexed for some reason as she had concluded within herself that Higgins was still unwilling to trust her as much.It was understandable if one were to judge the fact that she was undoubtedly still a stranger to him, although her efforts up till this point would tell a different tale.She brazenly stared him down before averting her gaze from him to focus and run towards Travis that called out on her."I'll be right there, Travis." She had concluded to igno

Chapter: Chapter 12 ~ An old friendRayla had persevered all the way through the forest path until she finally was brought to the scene of the capital of Nefario, some ways past the hold.A city ever buzzing during the day and famed for its prosperity but not so nocturnal prospects. She hadn’t been able to take in it’s full majesty as she was laid back, dragging Higgins’ weight in addition to hers. “Why do you have to be so heavy?” She asked his unconscious self. “The second time and I still can’t get used to this.” She added. Suddenly, her sighting of the city was halted by a boy that seemed to be in his early-teens. “Are you lost miss?” He asked. “I doubt it, because the Nefario Capital is right there. Where else could I be heading to.” She replied. The heavy mass she had been forced to pull through stressed her so much to instigate her speaking down on the boy in a blunt, harsh manner.Even though the pitiful state of poverty adorned itself unto his eye-sore of clothing, she only noticed the surface of disgust a

Chapter: Chapter 11 ~ Our own Ajé“Higgins!” Rayla rushed to his side as he slowly reverted back to his human form, nearly slumping into an unconscious state. “You’re alright.” She pointed out. Higgins finally had a taste of the blood in the woodling creature, his insatiable wolf finally relented, But was that the reason?He was completely naked but she didn’t mind, she reached for and cradled him on her lap, praising his tenacity. “You surprise me, you know right?” She said. Higgins led with a smile as a fading smirk crept unto his expression. “I proved you wrong.” He said. “What?” Rayla asked. “What are you talking about?” She added. “You didn’t tally any dead body, that gremlin doesn’t count.” He said, as his almost letting go invited a chuckle. “I love you, Eleanor.” He added. “What?” Rayla became flustered. “Higgins!” “He must’ve been seeing things.” She concluded in her thoughts, although with very little affirmation in her tone for even her to believe it. She was unable to pry any further as Higgins slowl
