2:30 AM,C H I E F D I R E C T O R ’S O F F I C E.Mike's group had left, leaving Ameira alone in the office.Mike didn't prolong their conversation. His ears were closed to hear any explanation from their leader. He also knew that the Chief Director would not listen to his grievances.Despite her group's rejection of her, Ameira was complacent because she knew she didn't have anything else to worry about. The chief decided and nobody could break that."Don't mind them. No matter if they want you to or not, you are part of their team. Even though Mike is stubborn and reluctant to obey, I know he will choose the best part of their team. Additionally, he will surely enjoy your participation in the group when he sees your skill in solving crimes. Maybe you will be even closer." The chief laughed a little at the last thing. When he didn't receive a response from Ameira, he sighed and fixed his seat."I know you have nothing to do with the deaths of the victims. I'm sure of that because I
Y E A R 2009, M O N D R A G O N H O T E L. Rebecca Sebastian is temporarily staying in an exclusive hotel room. She is twenty-four years old and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and is now an excellent writer. She has participated in literary competitions and debates; she is skilled in the field so her parents are proud of her. She's a kind-hearted woman. She puts everyone first before herself and treats them as a priority. Donating to charities became her hobby even during her college days. Rebecca never fails to warm anyone's heart, which is why she is envied and loved at the same time. She has spoon-fed compliments even from men around her age; after all, she has the look that could steal any woman's heart. She's an ideal girl, wife material. Almost perfect. Rebecca's life is also prosperous because her father will soon be promoted to chief director. She added that he's a very handsome and true law student whom she loved especially because he has never been gre
It never crossed her mind to do evil, especially to kill. And now here she is, the one who blew up the car carrying her boyfriend's family. Not a single member, only Leandro. She laughed out loud, along with a tear dripping down her cheeks. You can never blame her, they're the ones who pushed her to be like this. She thought it was all fine, even though she knows that she'll never be their priority. There will always be somebody else that is more significant than her. 'No one knows what I've been going through all these years.' She stopped dancing and looked up at the sky full of twinkling stars 'Oh, God. Don't hate me, I just don't want to fake it anymore. I am sorry if I committed a sin. I gave my all to you but why... Why am I still suffering like this? Why do I feel so inadequate? What did I do to make you not treat me fairly? I thought you were everything; you helped us to survive; you helped us in everything. But—I'm sorry... I shouldn't doubt your grace, I'm sorry... I cou

Ameira looked up at the Chief Director's question. "I will give the full report later. So far, we have a lead on where Leandro is. I have gleaned information from people close to him. They can find out where he is," she replied. "And ...?" The director seemed to be waiting for the next response. "It's Okay Not to Be Okay Hospital, he's confined there," she added. The Chief Director's eyebrows met. "What do you mean? Is that why he's been absent for so long because he's ill?" Ameira sighed and shook slightly. "No, in fact, it's even more awful. When his family and your daughter died, he lost himself. He went crazy." Chief Rolanzo was unable to believe what he heard. "Since his family was dead and his remaining relatives had abandoned him, the only one who remained by his side was Shane Rivara. She married Leand
Silence echoed within the corners of the room, not until Ezecarl let out a burst of lunatic laughter. Tears clouded his vision as he laughed harder than usual. And the three stared, mouths shut, heads full of thoughts about this man as he went insane right before their eyes."That is just why I'm even more interested in that kid! You three are such timorous people! Why are you so afraid of a kid? An ill kid!" he almost screamed.S P E C I A L D I V I S I O N.DO NOT ENTER. DANGEROUS AREA.Those words were posted above the driveway to the Special Division.The 5th Special Division is where five children are considered the most dangerous in the country.They are aligned based on their ability. They are also often used as specimens in-hospital studies and experiments. These children are hidden in aliases following the alphabet where A leads.Dark Snake, also known as Ameira.At the age of nine, A is already a very dangerous threat to human life. Other children also hate her very much bec
She turned to the young man and frowned when she saw that he was no longer breathing even though his eyes were still wide open. She continued what she was doing while still humming a song. If other children at her age were playing with leaves, it was really her entrails. Often without emotion, sometimes serious, and then suddenly giggling. Gumdrop Snoogums-Boogums You are the Apple of my Eye — She stopped when she heard a knock. She picked up the beating heart first before standing up and walking towards the door. At every step, it seemed like she was acting like a robot, even with limited emotions. When she opened the door, the edge of Ameira's lip automatically curved as Ezecarl's female secretary almost gasped. With that smile, she seemed to have found a new toy. She passed by looking at the secretary. A black pencil skirt hugs her waist. She was wearing a gray blouse on top. Ameira and the woman met their gazes. She held the secretary's hand with her right hand as the o
Ezecarl looked up at the secretary. The woman almost squeezed herself against the wall she was leaning against. Both of her legs were shaking and her hands were restless. "I wanna ask you ... What kind of medicine do you feed those children like me in their quarters?" Her head tilted as he gazed at Ezecarl. "You told me not to trust anyone, so I assume you're referring to yourself for me not to trust you," she stated. "You're already ready for your changing environment, A," he said, an answer far from the answer the kid wanted him to hear. Ezecarl smiled, proud like a father, as he tapped her head. She was nicknamed A because she never failed. Every experiment made on her was successful. A, because of her name Ameira. A is also significant since she is the most influential. For a child, the very first letter is always in the lead. P R E S E N T T I M E "So did you come back here just to let me know about it or is there some other reason?" Ameira came back to reality when the
SITTING on the pallet, Aleja looked up and watched how the moon, together with the stars, illuminated the sky. It's past three in the morning but Hypnos has not visited him yet. Maybe because he's thinking too much, insomnia is attacking him again.Inside the prison, his eyes were always wide-open as he stared in emptiness. Doubt filled his head as he wondered whether he would keep fighting or give up.He would always wonder why he would pursue his desire for freedom and justice when the person he expected to believe in him turned her back and left — with his best friend.He loved the girl and she loved him back. However, when things go wrong, she chooses to trust someone else rather than her own boyfriend. He could only wonder if what he was doing made sense or if he needed to stop crashing into the wall.The flesh of his mind was tangled.Men should not cry, that's what they always say, but could he cry now while no one sees?He is very tired, more than physical body fatigue. Muscle
Episode 26.3: Continuation the last part... Ameira put her ear to the cell door and listened to her. "No. This is not true. Everything that happened was just a dream. Right. I'm just dreaming. I just need to wake myself up. Not everything is real. That's right. Let's wake up from these dreams now. They have already died, and I am already done with my revenge. I can start over with my life." That's the phrase she keeps mumbling to herself.The same goes for the two criminals. In spite of her best efforts, she is unable to talk to them normally, as if they have gone insane. She was about to leave since she already got what she wanted, but one of them said something that made her freeze at her place."Ameira. The name of the woman who gave us the medicine is not human, but our greed. She's our demon side." She slowly turned her head to the side, looking at the rusty iron door."What did you say?" She asked unimaginably, almost dropping her jaw."She's going to come to us and kill us all
A N H O U R L A T E R.Casya and Derek have already left after sharing some information and discussing the cases they have been investigating for years now. Only she and Tony were left in the hideout, and it's not new. It is so close to the point that Tony and she can't live without each other.Ameira was the one who was maintaining their medicine so they wouldn't lose their minds, and she was also the one who made Tony's candies. If he doesn't take it even for a day, he will lose himself. The same goes for Casya and Derek, yet for her, she never takes medication at all. She's just solving it by herself and has to cope with her situation.Her and her friends, yes. Secretly, deep in her heart, they are important to her cause; after all, they have known each other for years now. They help her solve crimes so she can find a lead to Mr. Alejandro's murderer. Outside, her friends have their own lives, in which Ameira never intervenes, but while they are here, she's in command.She was busy
Episode 26: Continuation... "Wait!—Did we hear it right? Did Ameira just laugh?" Derek couldn't believe what they heard; his eyes widened unbelievably while he grinned."No. It was amazing to hear her laugh for the first time in history. Wait! I'm gonna grab my phone to record this moment—Ouch! That hurts Casya! What's that for?!" He growled when Casya hit his head so hard."Stop it," she scolded."Why? It is wrong—""Let's go to business. Let's see what information everyone has gathered about the murder case." She gets down to business with her usual look of being as cold as ever, walking towards the long table. She drew the chair to the center of the table and sat down. The three followed her, and they started sharing information about what they had found, and the clues left at the scene."As you can see, on the bodies of the victims, there was no forceful injury on them or any wounds, and even in the autopsy, they did not find anything on their bodies, and according to the report,
Warning: This chapter contains violent and sexual content and is not suitable for those readers. Episode 26: A, C, D, E “This really looks like suicide. Like in previous cases, there was no sign of harassment or murder. I’m afraid we won't ever find any leads about those dead bodies, and now another cold case has occurred. The plaintiffs have already pleaded guilty, and the victims' families want them dead too. So there is no way they can escape.” She examined their bodies one by one as she took pictures. Her thoughts wander, and she wonders if they truly committed suicide out of guilt. It's too suspicious. She remembered when she visited and investigated them personally. When she also watched the recording where they monitored those sinners inside the jail, they seemed to be dreaming.They thought those events were just a dream and none of them were real; even the jail they are staying in is only in their dreams because, in reality, they are innocent and have never been there at the
Ameira was about to leave and just ignore them, but her team leader blocked her way. She looked up to meet his eyes and saw his snobbish face. 'What with his attitude? Tss. Forget it. I don’t have time to bicker with him," she whispered to herself in the back of her head. She was about to walk on the other side when he blocked it again. She sighed between her nose and her mouth. “Do I know you?” she asked in a low tone.“Stop your act, Ameira. I told you; you can fool anyone but not me. You can change your face, but your eyes cannot lie. Next time you disguise yourself, try to cover your eyes as well. You aren’t good at all,” he hissed.Ameira wasn’t bothered at all by him, despite having revealed her real identity. No matter what disguise she wears, she will be discovered because, as the saying goes, there are no secrets that are never revealed. She walked by and passed him. She’s too lazy to quarrel with him, and not to mention she needed to investigate the three suspects' deaths. T
“Primary care?” Ameira crinkled her forehead upon reading the words written on the notepad. She looked up to see the name of the department. She scoffed. "Are they fooling me?" she bitterly asked at the back of her head. Do they want her to work in this department? Do they even know she hates crowded people and is surrounded by sick patients?She was about to step back to leave, but before she could make any movement, the tinted glass door opened and called her. Ameira left no choice but to turn around and stare at the person in front of her."I told you you'd need my assistance." Aleja was smirking, saying those words, staring at him with that annoying look. “Come in,” he added before walking towards his workplace.She took a deep sigh. "This old man is really persistent, isn’t he?" she asked, rolling her eyes. The more this old man showed her interest, the more Ameira wanted to avoid him. With this kind of act, he is definitely up to something.When he saw her still standing outside
AMEIRA stared at the upper corner of a frameless glass door where it was written that the owner of this office is the hospital director. A young nurse wearing a blue uniform approached her and asked, “Excuse me, Miss. Do you have any appointments with the director? I mean, I’ve been watching you this whole time and you don’t even speak or tell me what brings you here. Therefore, I was wondering if you have business here. I’m afraid I might call a guard to escort you out. This place is strictly prohibited and you might scare the patients. ""Sorry to disturb you, I’m looking for the General Services Department to apply as a cleaner. I’m lost. Can you point me the way? " Ameira answered directly, looking her straight in the eyes.“You already passed it. It’s on the second floor in the left corner. You will find it there, " the young nurse pointed out.Ameira nodded, despite knowing which floor it was. She’s on the tenth floor, where she intends to meet with the director of the hospital
Episode 25: Investigation. Ameira was silently watching Dainiel, the young woman who jumped off the rooftop and was saved by an air cushion. The patient was peacefully sleeping in bed and a dextrose was injected into her right hand and, according to her beauty standards, she just had a normal face. An average beauty.“Here, eat some more, father.” Her gaze shifted to the young man and an old man who was feeding his father. Since they weren't the only ones in the room, eight of the patients were confined. This is probably because it was a public place and more crowded, unlike the private and VIP rooms. When the patient awoke later, Ameira glanced at her as she moved forward to the patient and heard her moving and soft gaps. She had her usual cold face and both hands in her pocket. "I see you're awake," Ameira said. The patient softly coughed and slowly opened her eyes as she looked at her. “You haven’t left?” she asks in a low tone. Ameira nodded. “How’s your feeling? Do you fee
Ameira didn’t stop her because she wanted her to figure out for herself if that’s what she really wanted by jumping off the tall building. Her phone rang. In an instant, she grabbed her phone from inside her pants pocket. When she saw the unfamiliar number, her forehead knitted and she slid to pick up the call. She waited for the caller to speak, but her eyes grew wide as she quickly stood up and became alerted to her surroundings.Her eyes roamed the area where she was standing in search of the person who was in the other line. "You saved someone this time. I wonder if you could still save someone again." The caller's voice was deep like this person came from hell, and so Ameira already knew this person was using a voice changer to hide his/her identity.“Who are you? What do you want from me?” she asked in a deep tone. [Don’t rush. We will be there soon. The game has just started. So, if you wanna find me. Be part of my game, Snake. Let’s play hide and seek. You are the bet and I
