"Hey" He wrap his arm around her waist as she straddle him, his friend said an husky good day striding to his game room,his girlfriend pull Michelle leung."your hands off,Natalie"
"Get your pawns of my girlfriend,go wear something the time will pass us by"Natalie sy,the Belle of the sy's of Average height,baby face,Long lashes,her body senescence than her age,continue holding Michelle arm, reluctantly Stuart get off the bed earning a quick pout from Michelle.
"Nat" Jason li called from the game room before appearing,he was a tall straight out of the magazine handsome with broad shoulder like his friend and a always furrowed brow,she went to him to ask what's wrong making Stuart pull Michelle towards him again.
"What's up?" He kiss her.
"Nothing,you didn't answer my question earlier" Stuart chuckle.
"You know you're the only one right?No girlfriends only you"He take a swift of her lavender oiled hair,Michelle was a beauty surpassing Natalie.
Unlike Natalie who had her hair dyed green,her hair was black and in fringe,her face oval and with the touch of cute on it,she was taller than Natalie and her body was full grown exactly her age type.
"Stuart please stop this, you're stinking go take a bath" This time Jason snap.
"Haters what's your problem today?" He scowl letting go.
" The problem is the college already start the match and we all need to practice before we kick those Amenthyst college ass"Michelle sit on the bed,taking his tablet.
"Yeah now go,or do I've to join" Jason mumble taking the remote,Stuart shake his head.
"Behave big ass you're in my room" he snarl at Natalie who's already inside his private library,Stuart sigh to himself before withdrawing to the bathroom.
Sy xue send the last email on her laptop and clap congratulating herself for passing through today requirements, She's smooth skin and gorgeous lady in her forties,Average height with long velvety hair.
She's a blond always with a big smile and a figure to the eyes not only because of who she's but because of her weird gold hair,the room she was in was decorated in baby pink her specialty because she have always wanted a girl.
Two grey armchairs stood by each side of the king sized bed,Two large tv screen one at the wall not far to the bed board and another opposite the bed,a long Grey and black long stairs leading to a private gym,sturdy,and a well equiped kitchen.
She's the CEO of Drewen Entertainment industry,known for recruiting new models everyday and bringing out the top famous Models, actors and actresses every year.
Sy xue stop clapping when her husband Liu zhixin walked in,his head hung low.
"Honey,are you okay? How's work?did you lose the case or won?have Stuart left already?"She bombarded him with questions, Liu zhixin sit on the bed,on of his leg bent.
"Stuart is leaving soon and I'm down with worry xue,I don't know what to do"Sy xue walk to the bed sitting adjacent her husband.
"I told you not to worry,Stuart will be fine,he always is and...."
"I kidnapped the girl today but she escaped I want you to know that the girl is real,hope is real"With raised brow Sy xue stare befuddled completely.
"I feel guilty dear but Stuart condition is worsening, it's worrying me,he wasn't able to sleep at all last night I'd to personally do everything to make him get just one hour sleep and it was 5am by then"he let out a groan "I followed jang Lau's word, I know she's crazy but i feel she's right after Stuart dreams"
"You're the crazy one zhixin,what the hell is wrong with you?"She scream " I agree whatever jang Lau said is right,but I don't agree with this,you want our child future to be set right Don't ruin someone else live"Sy xue stood up.
"We can talk to the girl but I won't go with you okay?until I'm sure she's not going to be affected in anyway,My son is gonna be eighteen soon,spare him"He held her arm,lifting his gaze solemnly.
" I'm sorry, I'm a father and i...."
"Been a father won't reverse the situation nor will your apology, I'm a mother but not a selfish one"She jerks his hand away angrily and amble to the door it opened itself startling her.
Stuart walk in embracing his mother chuckling when she smack his Back and winking at his father who only nod away.
"Take care of yourself and make sure you don't get into trouble,one more thing my love"She comb his soft wet hair with her fingers "Call me every morning"
" Sure mom,I know I left a heart patient behind so I'll surely call"Stuart mouthed,Sy xue pinch his cheeks earning the chuckle made for only her again.
"Who's the heart patient huh?bit still call always, I'll try to message and get in touch with you,I love you son"
" I love you too Mom"He cock his head facing his father "you too Dad"Liu zhixin smile wryly,his heart pumping any time he thinks about the trip.
"I love you my boy,take care of yourself and don't only always call your mom I'm alive too"
" I heard everything,no troubles" He kiss Sy xue cheek "I'll be leaving mom,take care..love you"Sy xue held him,kissing him on the cheek on last time before waving.
Jason,natalie, and Michelle embrace her,kissing her cheeks and waving goodbye, happily but a little downhearted the parents wave back,praying their kids stay safe.
Stuart made a stop at Jang Lau door,his instinct telling him to just check on her, Although he didn't like her and always feel weird whenever he was in the same room with her,he still cares a little,she was a woman who'd come knocking for help.
Made his parents still remaining sane due to the weirds things happening to Stuart and she as In more than one occasion pat him to sleep, Something his mother does but still makes him end up sleeping for 3hrs.
"Stuart" Michelle voice sent him out of his reverie "Where are you heading to?" Stuart step back looking up at Jason,Jason shake his head mouthing 'No'.
Jason from childhood had been the one to notice Stuart weird illness on a sleepover,not that his mom wasn't always there,Sy xue was the best mom to him,she was a friend as well as a sister,she would always sleep in his room,work there and only sleep when he's asleep.
But before Jason,Stuart was quick to figure out what's happening at the age of 8,he would lie to his mom he found her typing disturbing and she should stay in her room for the day so she wouldn't know whatever is going on.
When Jason became aware he told his parents who went to detail it all to his parents,he still smile whenever he remembers Jason oval face pouting like a girl when he ask for apology from Stuart about the incident,and since then Jason was always informed about everything.
He knows everything about how Jang Lau became a resident of the Mighty Liu mansion,he never disliked her because he always steers clear,she never acknowledged him and he doesn't either but his concerns were for his best friend.
Stuart step backwards,motioning for them to continue down the living room, straight to the large golden carved door.
A wide smile Grease Jang Lau lips, ricketing forward and backward like the rocking chair she's sitting on as she watch from a circle made with colors of candles.
She suddenly felt dizzy but still she kept her eyes open,then faintly she heard the voice,she always hear.
"A hill-full.....a hole full"
"You cannot catch a bowl full"
Frowning she close her eyes and the candle disappeared opening it back with dissatisfaction she stood up and squatted beside a candle shaped like and angel,she place it on her palm waiting for it to lit up itself.
And at long last it did,The only message she could read from it was "DANGER" Jang Lau tilt her head to get it more clearly and she saw the blue hair,Jang Lau clench her free fist.
It wasn't time yet she vanished,it wasn't time to go, she still had a lot of things to do,a lot,The room went darker,a big dark hole twirling at the center of the room,Jang Lau tried not to get swallowed by it,chanting spells upon spells to save herself,but the energy suddenly surrounding her engulfed her into the hole.
Hope hug her best friend Si jie and later on helped in arranging the things they're both going to need into their backpacks.
Si jie hair are short in ring bobs,her hair beyond silky when you touch it,her face portrayed no nonsense with her V line brow,but nevertheless she was a beauty queen.
Si jie is the young princess of one of the wealthiest family......Si family,consisting of only her and her medical doctor elder sister,her oval face but the small mark around her eyebrow and her curvy body made her the miss beauty of the area with a crown.
And a goddess at the Amethyst college even though to the others she barely form two words and was reclusive still she was the topic on the girls lips.
Though she's well off,si jie didn't let it get into her head, She's one of the nicest person one could ever come across. "I thought I would die" Sir jie blurt out. " Why?"Hope ask but already knowing the answer. "You know why so don't ask,sis isn't home for the week and you know I can't just spend my days with lan yuan"si jie fake a yawn. " Why not? she's your governess" "I know but it's gonna be boring and that will absolutely be a free ticket for those men to visit" "Yeah right"Hope shrug understanding where Si jie is coming from "Will you tell me the main reason you're scared of the opposite gender now?"Seeing there's a chance Si jie tells her she press in. "No and I don't hate men dummy, I'm androphobic" Hope squint her face " It's the same thing buh relax I'm just kidding,let's just go" The two drag their feet out of the gate,the college bus halted and the two exchange look "What?" Hope was the first to speak. "You said 'let's just go'like you already knew the bus is he
"希望" The word brighten on his skin and daisy squint knowing the pains he must be feeling "Xiwang, it means hope" Daisy could only inhale and exhale to keep her rapid breathing in check, she had the same mark infact they all do when may zhiang came, it was the dragon scale choosing who's going to be the protector of the magic guardian. It'd all come as a surprise to them then because such thing as never happened before and may zhiang at that time wasn't pregnant or chosen one, so how come?. The mark had stopped when May zhiang died and not in her wildest dreams had she expect to see this same mark on someone else, someone much younger, she'd scent him, his intentions before he came in, she'd known he was here and that could only sum up to the fact that it's because of the scale. But now she didn't know how to explain to the innocent young man, No! she didn't want to be the one to explain so as usual she hope Albert would arrive soon. "That's why I'm here....for answers" As soon
"Oh I'm sorry hope" Si jie apologized standing up to turn off the alarm "I sleepily set it to 3am....hold on what're you doing there?" hope turn to her friend " Why are you glaring?" "Because you just..." She stop herself"Just go to sleep and please don't make this kind of mistake again"She turn back to the window and to add to her dejection there was no longer the Moon in sight,Sir jie crane her head to see what got hope attention but quickly lower it when she saw hope turn to walk to the bed and drop on it like a pillow. "Babe are you sleep walking?" Sir jie ask worriedly. " I'm not"Hope yell " Go back to sleep please" Si jie wondered what she could have done to make her friend angry "I'm sorry" Hope groan in reply. Stuart stood in daze when he saw there was no Moon in sight again,he pull his hair. "Darn,I was close...too close" he mumble to himself. "Close to ejaculation?"Jason piped in, Stuart roll his eyes "You should have slept with mich...." "Wi
"See those ferns, pineapple bushes..." "I love the sunset here, see how glowing everywhere is and the sand"Si jie sit on the ground playing like a kid, hope turn akimbo, taking some sand into her palm"Those tall palm trees are beautiful" Si jie and hope sleep on the sun gleam on them and the abundance of sand surrounded them,excited them. "Wow the sand is rough on my skin" Hope half smiled "It's stinging"She chortle, Si jie turn to furrow her brow at hope. " What's happening hope?" Si jie,belly knitted, her fear making her breath come out ragged. She saw hope surrounded by circles of light like in trance hope stood up and came face to face with an old man in a white robe, bald head with a big smile on his face. **** Daisy raise her finger to lift the candle but it remained where it was, she palm her face, she's used to this trying out the techniques hope taught her. She was a human, Albert was a human but from the first time they cradled hope their lives
Michelle and Natalie crept behind her scouting the vast island "There's no one there,is this some kind of a sick joke?" Natalie chirped. "Shoo, quiet down, the girl is a crazy kind" Michelle warned. Si jie ignored the two girls and ran with all her might back to the their guest house,open the door with her shaky hand and lock it behind her. "Where is it?"She rampage through hope bag and start to wail when she didn't find anything, depressed she check a small pocket opening at the backpack then felt something drop into her palm,she bring it out,herself and the talisman radiating. "Si jie,there are times when I don't feel like using this thing" Si jie recall hope telling her,she do what hope usually does and delved back into the memories. "Why?" "You're always up for why?"hope pout "I feel too confident sometimes,it kills but I do become over confident I won't lie" "That's unreasonable and reasonable in some ways"Si jie shrug. " I'm just trying to tell you this bland brain diet
"First it was the amphithere whatever and now the moon Goddess, oh I hate you dad" She mumbled, stepping back. " Hail the pure precious stone of hope" Hope couldn't help rolling her eyes heavenward, 'stone of what?!'She thought 'are this animals nut? okay rephrase that are this things nut?' "We're sorry goddess"She almost went deaf from the noise in her ears "We're sorry queen" The ground began to shake underneath their feets, spinning around, hope guards went up. "The draco's are coming allow us to protect you goddess" " Protect yourself because I'm leaving"Hope scream and dash to the entrance of the cave. " Please forgive us deity" 'oh c'mon'Hope lost her balance and roll out of the cave,Her body succumb to weakness and acheness as she stood up,she limp through the valley and half when she saw some student. She hid behind a tree, puffing hard,she squeeze her eyes shut and open it,her eyes swollen with tears she noticed the mist around her,strong but comforting the ur shie
"What?"Stuart mutter in surprise. "How?did you guys say anything to her?" " I wouldn't want her gone for anything else, she as been of great help to our family but we looked for her everywhere, she's no where to be found" " Her room,she could be hiding" "We checked,she was conducting a spell when she disappeared into thin air,her candles are still lit same as the blue daggers and it won't off no matter how hard we try"Liu Zhixin sigh dejectedly. "Ned said we can't find her" " Brother is home?"Stuart heart flutter in excitement. " No,I called" "Oh" 'hope isn't here anymore'Natalie and Michelle story session resurfaced "Dad um...can I ask you about something?" "Go ahead" "Who's hope?I mean the girl who's she exactly?why and how does she have the power to help me recover?"Liu Zhixin got strucked like lightning by the question,Jang Lau never told them anything except the girl as some kind of power to save stuart. "My nightmares....I see her in my dreams" "What? Stua
As usual Stuart found it difficult to sleep, it doesn't bother him anymore but the fact that by the time they went back to the cave the animal wasn't there but a shaped Ash of the creature. His friend were surprised they didn't see anything, no traces of the beast but Stuart did see the ashes, his heart race thinking he's slowly starting to become a patient.... a patient of madness. He told his friend the beast must have escaped to sound sane, they must have doubted him because Jason frown... his face wrinkled like an old man before he nod. 'How did the animal or whatever the thing is burnt to ashes without anyone noticing in the island? no one at all knew... only he, Stuart sigh he really need to start his therapy again. Jang Lau thought... he curse her, she's the reason he couldn't even dose of , the thought about her kept creeping in his heart 'She escaped, how? 'This is the twenty first century, modernized days so how could she just vanish? maybe someone
"I can see the mistake I made those years ago,I kept asking myself how I could fall in love with that disgusting maniac" "Hey,it's not..""No,let me let it out,how dare she come into this place and talk to me about a stupid child?" "The child she clearly said wasn't mine,yang did she forget about everything or what?" She intertwined her hand with his "She is just here to torture me again" "I'm here with you baby,yeah you're right,she doesn't have the right to barge in here" "Really?" He pull her close pecking her cheeks. "Tell me baby" "I mean it and we're both going to fight her" Ned bit his lips and tug it with a cheeky smile. "Hey I'm not here for that" He tickle her and laughter filled the air releasing the tension in the once broody room, Ned carried her over his shoulder and ignore her struggling,he kick the door of his large room and drop her on the bed. The room is extremely large and bare but with enough furniture and
She looked up and the two girls smiley face hover on top of hers. "Great punishment for coming late" "I didn't" she push the girls. "This is stupid" "What? The correction?" "No"Si yang look at Hope noticing she isn't talking instead her eyes on the gate. "Hope" still her eyes were fixed in that position. "She's wondering how you came in without your car or the guards also noticed that" Si yang smile nervously praying Hope interfered but the girl eyes was still glued on the entrance. "I...I shu hui drove the car out...um back to the clinic to...to pick up one of my important patients" "You're stuttering" Si Jie roll her eyes. "We both were in the pool before you came,change into your bikini and join us" Happy her sister dropped the interrogation,she tug Hope arm. "Are you okay?" "Yes...oh,I was...Is that your man?" Si yang nodded. "Never mind,let's go" "If there's anything bothering your mind,you can tel
"Ned I want to be with you for now,will you come in?" "I have to be at the field marshal house but I'll come to pick up" He kiss her swiftly and help her alight from the car. "I love you honey" "Love you too,and please don't think much about her,think about me don't let me get jealous" "I'll surely do that" Si yang glance at the blue automobile driving towards them,Ned got out of the car and straighten his shirt,he walk to the driver seat and kiss Si yang again before waving to both her and Stuart. "Hey Si yang" "Hi Stuart,acting like you don't know me?" Si yang smile as Ned drove off and fix her gaze on Stuart. "Nah,just wanna tell you a little about Zoe,I'll be leaving immediately,I got a message from Jason" "Oh,so how about the Zoe? Even her name doesn't sound good,though she's beautiful" "Very,and she haven't changed,be...be careful,she's dangerous,if she can make that strong brother of mine to try to do away wit
Ned scoff at his brother stupidity"When I was your age I already knew what I want to be" "Duh,I forgot"Stuart said sarcastically,Si yang shake her head. "How about Yang?" He reach for the jam. "You know there are many ways people find themselves,being a doctor wasn't my dream,I wanted to be a writer,I'd write short stories and show them to my dad for more praises,I was happy showing off my skills but there is something that some people say that isn't really TRUE" "What?" Stuart sit up. "When a mother dies your dreams are shattered but mine was when dad died" Si yang smile brightly recalling when her dad called her his pride,she in her purple gown,him in his truck uniform,both dancing and singing,him reading her stories line to line,words to words not missing a bit,taking it like his lifetime job. Kissing her forehead,laughs filling the whole house,happiness brimming all around them. "I'm a doctor because of someone,I'm living someone else
"I'm sorry for whatever I said in the room,I know I shouldn't have said that and that I should accept you for who you are because a lot of women does...they accept their man wholly but Ned when you brought up the topic about kids,I couldn't help feeling scared..." "You finally thought about moving the relationship forward and trust me I'm happy but that didn't stop me from having those strange thoughts,what if I lose you so untimely Ned? I don't want that"Ned ignore her and walk to the kitchen,she followed and met him standing and staring at the fridge. "Ned" She hug him from behind. "Please don't hate me." "I can't and...I can't leave my job yang" He turn and wipe her tears,Si yang felt his words squeeze her throat. "I can do everything you want,I will but not this,I understand how you feel but I can't consider it,that job is my responsibility,why do you think I left my own country to be here?..." "I wanted to be able to live my dream,nothing ma
"Like I said earlier I'm sorry,there's nothing I can do to help,I introduced myself to you trying to tell you I'm not the one here last night,it's my colleague Chin ming" "So you guys work shift?" Nora nodded. "Oh nice, Nora when is your colleague going to be here?" "Tomorrow evening,we're four" Si yang bite her lips hard. "Are you okay?" "Yes,please what's the name of this hotel?" "King's Steward five star hotel" Si yang thank the woman and went back to the elevator,she stomp her feet on the ground and suddenly recalled something,she hurried back to the receptionist gasping. "Hi Nora" "Ma'am you're back" Nora said in surprise. "Yes,one more question" "Hold on a minute ma'am"Nora point at the checking out cue and she could see a lot of people waiting in line,she sigh and move out of the way. "Sorry for the delay" Nora address her again when there's no longer a cue and those that are left are with the other recept
"You'll only get a day but if you talk to him now we can make Stuart come back" "That's not possible" Ned protest. "But it is,now darling talk to him,Goodnight baby boy" "I am a man" "Goodnight baby man"Liu Xue said and drop the phone on her husband lap. "Mom" Ned rub his chin and sigh. "Dad,are you there?" "Hmm" his father hummed. "Is the phone on speaker?" "No,go ahead" "Stuart is unconscious" Ned break the news in sobriety. "What?" "Hey dad calm down,the doctor is with him as we speak,I just wanted to inform you,don't let mom get a whiff of this" "What happened? Ned this is the reason why I told you not to take Stuart" "He's Okay" "I'm not going to assure you of anything,I don't think I can keep this from your mom" "Please dad,It was a mistake,I failed to protect him and I'm sorry" "Get Stuart to video call me once he's awake,I need to know if he's
"Ned, I'm a doctor" "I'm your boyfriend,I've responsibilities too" Ned curse lowly and kept staring at her phone. "So I don't?"Si yang glare at him,hating when he's being stubborn,she pick her phone,checked the caller I.d and sigh before switching it off "It's Hope video calling,you're childish" She glare at him when his lips curved. "But you love me for that" "No,let's switch off the light" "Yang"He exhale when she stood up,she glance at him for minute before opening her mouth to talk. "I'll go with you to California" He raise his head up and cock it to the side. "What now?I agreed" Si yang smile and took a key from the table. "You've an extra room" Ned said his eyes fixed on the keys,she nodded and turn the door knob. "You never told me"She switched off the lights and open the room. "Come in" "I won't" "Ned...okay,I lied because I didn't wanna tell you about it just yet" " 'Cause I'm alw
"The scroll"Stuart said recalling everything about his weird dreams and his heart grew heavy in excitement,Hope smirk"You're beautiful,captivating,why're you hiding from me?" "I don't know,I......don't know perhaps because we're destined to meet this way"Stuart smile, Hope tilt her head and smile sadly."But I'm sorry,we can't meet this way,right now I've to find out who you really are" "What..." In that instance the blue stone and dagger in Hope eyes became visible big,and rolling, Hope stare straight at him,chanting something under her breath,she made the student in the hall freeze wiping out the 5minutes incident memories. It's exhausted her but she did and after that she focus back on the frozed Stuart then wipe out is last ten minutes memory,she close her eyes,fighting the energy Stuart is trying to get from her to fight the power in him. She remember not to use her powers and nodded happily to herself before dashing out of the hall,the minutes she lef
