Brient frowned."I don't know who this person is," he said sadly and they became blue."The good news is that we've gotten hold of some useful information," Brient tried to sound positive."Yes, " Helia agreed. "We now know that Danica once worked at the company as a cleaner. She's no longer a worker but someone who might know her location works at the company.""We just have to find this person," Rendall added and sighed in frustration."How are we going to find a coworker that ‘might know where Orenda is’?" Danica said, air quoting the ‘might know where Orenda is’. "We have thousands of co-workers. At least, we knew Orenda’s first name and that's why we could find something about her and it even took a long time. Now, we have to find another person whose name is unknown to us. Where on earth do we start from?"Her words gave a negative vibe and in no time, all of their spirits became low.The waitress brought drinks for them and when she got to where they were, she missed a step, an
"You made the new IT manager Helia's guide on purpose, right?" Selene smiled cockily at Brient who sat on the floor of his living room. He was playing a game of chess against himself."I just want Rendall to have a taste of his own medicine," Brient grinned and Selene chuckled.She closed the door and left the entrance of the living room to the couch opposite Brient."Did you see how he was during lunch on Monday? He obviously likes her. I wonder why he isn't making any move."Brient smiled sadly at Selene's words."Rendall and Helia are very different from each other," Brient's voice was flat. "They can't be together.""But just like me, you want them to be together, right?""I should not want that.""But you do," Selene smirked and Brient sighed. "By the way, why can't they be toget—" Selene paused as soon as she heard footsteps. Rendall was walking down the stairs. Brient and Selene gasped as they saw him.His hair was no longer white. It was as dark as night. His haircut was diffe
"Rendall!" Brient thundered before Rendall could say any more words. Rendall snapped his eyes shut in frustration. His mouth was shut too. Brient maneuvered his way to Rendall, avoiding the broken glasses that littered the floor of the room.As Brient got to him, Rendall opened his eyes and sat on the bed behind him and Brient followed suit. Brient looked at Helia behind Selene whose worried eyes moved from Rendall to Selene. Rendall had almost revealed their identity in front of Selene and she was scared that Selene might suspect something.Brient smiled and then he mouthed to Selene: "He sucks at expressing himself."Selene nodded in agreement and Helia heaved a sigh of relief. At least, Selene had no idea of what was really going on.Brient looked back at Rendall and as he opened his mouth to talk, he looked at the door again at Selene and Helia."Can I talk to him in private?"Selene gave him a nod and then she beckoned on Helia to follow her. She closed the door and they both lef
Rendall winced in pain at the sharp pain across his chest. He only felt the pain for a moment and afterwards, he felt nothing.His eyelids flapped open and as he looked around, he realized that he was not lying on the soft bed of his glass littered room, but on a grass bed of an open field. He sat up straight to have a better view of his surroundings, and he began to have memories of him running through the place while hunting. It dawned on him. He was back to the wereworld, and he wondered how.He looked at the strange tree opposite where he sat. Rendall had never seen a tree like it, and it was unlike the other trees of the forest he was in. The leaves of the tree lacked chlorophyll completely. They were as white as wool.A strange woman sat on it with her legs dangling freely under her white gown. Her long hair that was as white as his once fluttered freely in the wind, that moved about as it liked. His eyes met hers and he froze. He had never seen someone with the color of her ey
He kissed her and she kissed him back. As they kissed, Helia wanted to push him away from herself badly. She should hate him, but here she was, immersed in a kiss with him. No! She had to stop this. She bit his lower lips in panic. He winced in pain and drew his lips back from hers. "What the hell!" Rendall cursed. "I almost stopped but you led me on." "I didn't," Helia denied and Rendall frowned at her. She moved away from him and headed to the door. "Brient asked you to keep me company until the doctor arrives," Rendall called after her as she placed her hand on the doorknob. "I think I've entertained you enough," Helia said flatly and as she pulled the door ajar, Danica's face popped in. Danica pushed the door and it opened widely. "Rendall!" She shrieked happily as soon as she saw Rendall and rushed into the room. Helia watched in disdain as he opened his arms for Danica to run into. She rolled her eyes as he engulfed her in a tight hug. She walked out of the room and slammed
"Flight 194 to Ocean Ville boarding now through gate five," the speaker blared and the Hispanic man that sat between Helia and Rendall beckoned the both of them to follow him and they did so until they got to the plane.Rendall and Helia's seat numbers were 4c and 4d respectively so their seats were next to each other. As they got to their seats, they both rushed for the seat next to the window. The other passengers watched in amusement as they fought for who would sit on the seat. Their fight attracted one of the air hostesses to themselves."Sir, Ma'am, what are your seat numbers," the air hostess asked."4c," Rendall answered."Mine is 4d.""The lady's seat is the window seat," the air hostess said and Helia stuck her tongue at Rendall who sneered at her.The airplane took off and both of their ears began to hurt."I think I'm going deaf," Rendall muttered as he placed his hands over his ears and Helia snickered."Don't you feel it?" Rendall asked."Feel what? My ears aren't hurtin
Helia watched in contempt as Rendall chattered happily with Danica a few feet away from her. She frowned. He had promised her pork but immediately after Danica arrived, he deserted her."You're jealous," Nalea pointed out."I'm not.""Why then are you angry?""I—" her voice trailed off."Hehe!" Nalea snickered. "You can't defend yourself.""I'm neither angry nor jealous. I'm just annoyed," Helia huffed. "He had promised me pork a few minutes ago but immediately Danica arrived, he forgot about his promise.""The she-wolf is truly a thorn in the flesh," Nalea remarked maliciously. "You always give her a chance and it's really disappointing. Why do you always stand by and watch her snatch her mate?""I don't care about whatever she does and he's not our mate. We would reject him soon anyway.""Then, why did you kiss him?" Nalea said in scorn and Helia frowned."He started it and you must have pushed me to do what I did not want to.""You kissed him voluntarily. I had decided to watch wh
Rendall watched at a hidden corner in dismay at a beaten and battered Helia. He frowned. He had warned her about wandering into the community without an invitation, but she had not listened. She got beaten up because of her stubbornness and despite the pain the two burly men before her had caused her, she refused to kneel at their command on the ground before them. She stared at them defiantly instead.Furthermore, she stubbornly rushed toward one of the hefty men with her fisted hands pointed at him for the hundredth and for the hundredth time, he disappeared immediately she got to him to throw a fist at him and reappeared behind. Rendall winced as he watched the hefty man whip her back.Helia roared angrily. She spun around and went after the man who had whipped her."Leave this place," The other man bellowed."NO!" She roared, and he lunged at her and whipped her at the back again.She shrieked in pain at the impact, and she spun away from the previous man to him. She raised her
