Evelyn slowly opened her eyes, and the once blurry surrounding became clear. She could see Lisa sleeping on Vanessa's sickbed with her head on Vanessa's lap. Vanessa was half sitting and half lying on the king-size hospital bed, staring at the cute Lisa sleeping peacefully.
"She's such an innocent child. It's a pity that her uncaring father has ruined her. If I had such a father, I would have taught him a lesson. Poor kid, " Vanessa thought with a sigh as she caressed Lisa's head.
Evelyn sat up, and Vanessa turned to look at her with a smile.
"Vanessa?" Evelyn called out softly in a parched voice as she adjusted a stray hair strand that was covering her eyes back to its original position.
Vanessa shook her head and stared at Lisa, and then back at Evelyn.
"Lisa is sleeping. Please let's not wake her up"
Evelyn's eyes widened, and she gasped in shock, staring at Vanessa, who was still smiling.
"Sorry, I made you faint from shock. Don't faint again and let's talk. I dunno why, but I'm capable of telepathy now and I just felt like using it since, for the time being, I can't speak. Please do not freak out and try to reply to me... but not with your lips... I mean your mouth. See if you can reply to me with your mind."
Evelyn opened her mouth as Vanessa nodded.
"I..."Evelyn was made to shut up by Vanessa shaking her head.
"I don't know what's happening. This feels really strange," Evelyn thought in confusion.
"Yeah! It's indeed strange and I still haven't come to terms with it yet. I don't know why I became mute, " Vanessa replied to Evelyn telepathically, making her gasp.
"So... we can actually speak to each other with our mouths closed and I'm also capable of telepathy?" Evelyn asked in bewilderment.
"Yes! You and I can. I'll try to connect with Lisa. But if I can't, then it means that I can only use this means of secret communication with you."
"Then... we can still speak even when Lisa forbids me to? That's just great!" Evelyn exclaimed telepathically. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that such a thing as telepathy existed, "
"So now, about the fact that you are a monied girl. Why didn't you tell me? You know I don't chase riches," Vanessa asked telepathically, with a serious look.
"I... I'm sorry. Very sorry!" Evelyn apologized, with her head facing the ground.
"I forgive you, but don't you ever dare to hide things from me again," Vanessa said to Evelyn telepathically.
Evelyn held her ears. "I'm sorry. I won't ever do that again. Are we still best buddies?" she asked with uncertainty. Her friend was sometimes eccentric. All those bullies back in school were bullied by her with no way to rebuff. Those b*tches in school also had an earful of her scoldings. Ah, she would be so glad to be buddies again with Vanessa.
"You need not ask. You're still and will remain my best buddy, " said Vanessa telepathically, with a smile as further affirmation.
"And telepathy companion" added Evelyn with a chuckle.
"Yes! And telepathy companion."Vanessa said and they both smiled.
Y city,Theo's cafe.This cafe is the second-best in the city and is where Nelson Woodley has currently arrived in his car. It's obvious that he must have visited a boutique since he's no longer wearing the suit from earlier but denim ripped blue jeans, white converse, an oversized black t-shirt with a 'Bad boy' logo pasted at the front.He's also sporting a black cap which he turned towards the back and a gold long chain around his neck. On his left hand was a ring on his index finger and a chain bracelet. Seeing him like this, some girls and women screamed: "Handsome, marry me".Nelson smiled and shook his head. He looked at his golden wristwatch in his right hand and looked at the clouds."I'd better get in before my darling comes in, " he muttered to himself and smiled again at the women, causing some to fall to the ground. Then he went inside the cafe where he was greeted by a server (waiter)."Please, a cup of coffee," Nelson said as h
At the bottom of the ocean, in a weird, dark cave located in the deepest trench, is a statue of a beautiful lady overlaid with pure gold that glitters so brightly in the water. On her fingers were two rings, and a necklace lay proudly on its neck.The crown placed on the statue has three small gemstones, which also glitter. Outside the cave are seven scary fishes with horns on their head. Nothing could get past them.Suddenly, the gold on the statue scattered off and behold, there appeared in place of the statue, a beautiful lady dressed in a white skirt and pink bra covered in different gems. Her clothes clung to her body, revealing her figure. Her skin was so white that it shone and her purple bone straight hair reached her ankles despite being braided.She had a beautiful face that made one think the creator was biased towards her. Her striking green eyes could calm and enchant people. Her nose had a large nose ring and her chestnut coloured lips would make e
Perfect Specimen Gym house.This is the best gym home in Y city. Only the elites can afford to get in and it's owned by Jack's acquaintance. Hence, he took Nelson to the VIP section where he met with the handsome owner who was running on a treadmill. He's tall, has hazel brown eyes that could hypnotize, red lips, a chiseled jawline, broad shulders and biceps. His waist lacked any fat and silently spoke of the hours the owner had spent on making his body look fit always."OMG! Who is this hot pie, Jack? Where did you find him, and why did you hide him from me? Such a sexy darling. Look at the muscles, the biceps, the waist, the hips," Nelson exclaimed as he ran to hug the stunned owner."The waist is tiny yet solid. I LIKE IT!" Nelson declared with his eyes twinkling stars.Jack sighed and walked towards them. He held Nelson by his trousers and dragged him away."Hey Jackie darling, you can't do this to me. I'm just lauding him for all his har
The owner of Perfect Specimen was now doing push-ups but when he saw Jack he stopped what he was doing and went over to him."Who's that creepy fellow you brought? He nearly abused me! And you need to pay for the shock I went through," he whined to an unsympathetic Jack."Don't fret, he'll pay you 30 million as compensation for your pain. Now I'm free to go, right?" Jack heartlessly sold poor nelson to this money grubber."No, problem! Won't you have a try at any equipment? You ain't in good shape man," the man was beaming so much that it became creepy."Sorry, I'm penniless. I'd rather dance at home" Jack left without giving this man a chance to extort money from him. Nelson Woodley was the one who could baptize him with money.Jack, upon reaching his Rolls-royce, entered the car and drove away at breakneck speed, causing many to jump and get out of his way."These rich bastards! What are we to them? Fowls on the streets?" an elderly lady s
McDermott hospital."Vanessa, so much has happened since we separated. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. Now that you have me here, I'm going to make sure you live life to the fullest. Let this stupid buddy compensate, " Evelyn said emotionally."Nah, it's fine," Vanessa chuckled. "Look, the little beauty is waking up. She's so cute""Why now?" Evelyn whined. This little demoness is going to make things hard for her again. She won't let her stare at her bestie say less f talk to her. "If it weren't for the telepathy, I would be hopeless," Evelyn muttered. But she'd underestimated Vanessa."I can hear you, baby girl," Vanessa reminded."Even my inaudible words? Cool!" Evelyn screamed telepathically."Hold it baby, you're being too loud here. You don't want me to be deaf too, right?" Vanessa teased."Hmph! I'll not talk to you again" she turned over to the other side of the hospital bed. Seeing her throwing a child
While the trio was busy; two having a merry time and the other sulking out of jealousy, a majestic figure whose very presence and name called for respect and fear, had just stepped out of the hospital's VIP elevator. Behind him were 6 male bodyguards dressed in either grey or black suits and black sunglasses. Their faces were cold as ice just like their master.His very appearance caused many to shudder involuntarily. It was like they were seeing a good-looking Asura who would in the next moment chop off their beautiful heads! Ah, they wanted to live longer. So as expected, many got out of his way because they wouldn't be able to handle his anger. After he had left, an elderly lady asked her granddaughter in a whisper. "Who's that man, Liana? So scary!""He's Y city's ruthless business emperor, Jack..." the granddaughter chose not to say further. She didn't want misfortune to stick to them like glue."Liana dear, say something. You said Jack..." the grandma refu
The majestic figure from earlier had just made his final turn along the passageway and finally stopped at the door of female ward VIP 007. A cold smile appeared on his enchanting lips and he knocked on the door like a bandit.If you're wondering where the nurse, Regina was at this moment; she's with her colleagues at another ward. She didn't wanna meet this Asura who had come looking for trouble. She still wanted her nice head, ah! She also trusted Evelyn would handle the matter as she had known her for quite some time.Inside the ward.Vanessa, Lisa and Evelyn were alarmed."Who could be outside knocking like this? Has he no manners?" Evelyn spoke telepathically to Vanessa unhappily. If she weren't on a hospital bed, she'd have beaten the bastard out there whoever he is."I think it must be her relative. Most likely her dad" Vanessa replied telepathically with a sigh. She had forgotten something important all this while- that this kid had a father
"..." the bodyguards wanted to shake their heads in pity but didn't dare to. One of them held Lisa gently by the hand and followed behind the others."Mummy, save me. Mummy..." Lisa wailed as they took her away but Vanessa pretended not to hear or see anything. She knew that if she didn't, she might actually fight over her custody.Evelyn got down the bed and made for the door. She closed it after making sure that they had left."So you're happy that Lisa is gone?" Vanessa telepathed to Evelyn, almost causing her to trip."Could you be a little more gentle? I almost died just now" Evelyn complained while pretending to wipe off invisible tears."Stop it! Only a beggar or blind man would believe you" Vanessa spoke coldly before hiding under her blanket."..." Evelyn was tongue-tied."Choosing to ignore me now, eh? Probably a little tickle would do the job" Evelyn inched closer to Vanessa with a wicked grin plastered on her red lips, her
"Andre, will you obey me or not?" her hair had become a long green adorned with a golden headpiece. Her long, forked tongue came out when she hissed. Andre felt goosebumps. "I... Let's go somewhere secluded and release Annabelle first. Then I'll be yours to enjoy." he thought this was the only way for Annabelle to be free. He was the cause of this pain she's eating and it's enough. Let him take it from here. "Why do you want me to release her?" Seline asked and hissed again. "I.. Your matter is with me. She's got nothing to do with it." "She stole you from me." "Aren't I yours now, Seline? Please have mercy on her and let her go." he pleaded. "Alright." she rose and glided towards Annabelle. She removed the neck shackle and untied her hands, which had several bruises. Now that her hands were free, Annabelle quickly covered her exposed melons. Seline forcefully removed the tape, causing her to yelp. Andre gritted his teeth at her action, but when she looked at him, he smiled.
Oirana hotel.It was a 30-minute drive from Milestonz village. Jack got alighted from the bike and headed to the gate. He knocked three times and the security guard came out after opening the smaller section of the gate."Hello, sir. How may I help you?" the security courteously asked.He wasn't blind. This man before him was worth a lot. This was a giant. The famous Jack Oliver Reynolds!Deep inside, he was excited to meet him face to face. He could boast among his peers now. Haha!"Is my grandpa here?""Please, sir, what is his name?""Out of my way." Jack pushed him aside and stormed in.The guard looked at him, dumbfounded."How rude!" he thought. But then, what could he do about it? Cry out to the public about the injustice? Would his outcry even get to the public? Sigh.He arranged his tie, locked the gate and sat on the chair that was at the front of the security building.>
Cloudlike bar. This place was quite busy, even though it was still daytime. Aarti sat at the counter pouring herself some strong wine, burping sporadically."Miss, you are quite strong. This is your 13th bottle." the bartender praised."Hehe. You don't know me. I could even finish 20 bottles of stronger wine." she laughed and drank from the wineglass. "This is really fine wine, dude. Want some?" she extended the glass towards the male bartender."Sorry, miss. I'd rather watch you drink. Every inch of you, every move of yours is art." he replied with a smile."Hahaha. Are you flirting with me? Do you know that I'm already taken?" she showed him her left hand but there was no ring on it.He raised an eyebrow."What's with that look? You don't believe me? I'm taken by a rich man. My handsome boss! I really... really.... liked him. Who knew he was that.... (burps) that form... but he was... (burps twice) he was... very majestic. Hahaha." she poured wine into th
The first question was 'Where does my fairy tribe live? And also show me the way the ruling system is like.'Collen sighed, and the images changed. Now they could see a place full of ice all year round. The residents wear a white coat on whatever outfit they chose. Their hair was at least knee-length and they had pale skin. This fairy tribe kingdom was called 'Frost blade'. Their powers are mainly ice and water. But there are select few who can control blood. Such people are a great asset in war.Being a royal doesn't mean one can have that ability. Even a peasant can possess it. It is a divine gift! When found, such people are taken to the palace and given the rank of a noble. It comes with a nice abode on a blessed mountain. Such mountains are very good for improving one's power level. He will first practice on various sacred beasts of different ranks- both cold and warm-blooded. Later, he'll practice on worthless criminals caught over the years.They can
Milestonz village, Y city.Jack stopped the bike at the entrance gate of a bungalow. He took out the ignition key and put it in his pocket. Then he got off the bike.The security guard opened the gate upon seeing it was the boss' grandson.Jack ran in, saying nothing to him.He pushed open the main door of the home only to see a bunch of elderly men and women having a good time eating, drinking and dancing to music. It was a big party!Jack was baffled. What the hell was going on here? Or maybe he's in the wrong house?He stepped outside and looked at the surroundings.Yes, this was definitely his grandpa's home. Why then was there a party? Where is the dying old man?He entered the home again.He attracted their attention this time."Young man, you are really as good-looking as the old man claimed. This is good. Very good. I approve of you, my son. Welcome, welcome!" a slim, elderly man (of average height) dressed in casual
Jack Reynolds home. "This lady dares hang up on me; how bold! Forget it...." his eyes widened as he realized something. Tomorrow was the full moon. Usually, he'd have feverish symptoms, but he felt nothing. Was it because of Vanessa? In any case, all appointments would be cancelled tomorrow. He couldn't risk it.His phone rang, and he picked it up."Hello?""Sir...""Ronaldo, what happened? Speak!" Jack said in worry. This was one of his grandpa's caregivers."He's very ill and demands to see you before he gives up." the voice on the other end said shakily."What? What happened?"The line went off.Jack quickly ran out of his study. He headed downstairs."Prepare me the Maybach." he said while dialing the number again.But no one answered.Jack felt like the world was spinning. His grandpa was on the brink of death. He had to get there in time.Soon, a Maybach Excelero appeared in front of him and a bodyguard opened the back door for him.
Vanessa and Lisa got up from their seats and ran towards Evelyn. Collen, who was closest to Evelyn, already took her in his arms.He pushed to the floor all the stuff on his table and laid her there."Did she faint out of tiredness or because of your news?" Vanessa asked with a serious face. "It could be either or both. But now's not the time to debate. Lisa, please come over!" he said in a hurried tone.Lisa walked to Collen after her scepter had re-appeared in her hand."Can you heal anyone other than yourself yet? I'm sorry for tasking you." he asked in anxiousness. "Nope! Besides, she's only fainted, not dying. Let her rest for sometime and she'll wake up. I'm off to start my lessons. Bye!" Lisa turned around to leave. "You..." he pointed at her, having no words to say.At this moment, Evelyn suddenly opened her eyes and changed into her fairy form.She looked at Lisa, who had stopped in her tracks, then at Vanessa and finally Collen.
"Miss, I don't even know you; what's the meaning of this?""You dare ask me? I will kill you today!" Evelyn spat and launched more ice lotuses at him and he fantastically used the spear. He shattered all lotuses to nothingness. Seeing this, Evelyn started launching wind blades together with ice balls.Vanessa simply dragged the two chairs to a corner where she and Lisa sat on to enjoy the show. 10 minutes later, Evelyn stopped attacking altogether and crashed to the floor like a sack of grain after transforming back into human form. She admitted defeat in Collen's hands. 5 minutes ago, he had changed from defense to attack. He sealed the room with soundproof magic so as not to startle anyone outside and then transformed into his fairy warrior form that comprised grey butterfly wings that were larger than Evelyn's and sturdier, a diadem on his forehead, multiplied into three and his spear multiplied into nine, so his two doppelgangers and his true body were in contr
10 minutes later, Lisa came out and walked towards Vanessa who was having a face time with Evelyn."Mummy?" Lisa called to announce her presence."Oh my! Is that Lisa?" Evelyn asked excitedly. "Please put her on screen. Let me see her beauty.""Hi, auntie!""Call me big sister. I'm not old!" Evelyn pretended to feel hurt."Auntie sounds better." Lisa stated."Forget it. How do the interview go? Did you pass?" Evelyn asked."Yeah. I'll be taking the dance classes now." Lisa said happily."Mom, you should practice with me today. You aren't flexible at all.""Eh?" Vanessa became speechless while Evelyn laughed."Way to go little bun. You told her straight in the face. Bravo, bravo!""Hey, you aren't helping!" Vanessa pouted.Aren't you a fairy? You need to dance. Look, you only know the gentle, charming dance. As a fire fairy, you must make people's mouth open for millions of years. You've got the body of a dancer, girl. Come
