“Good morning Madam, welcome to Nyhavn Hotel. A room for?”
Selene snapped from roaming her eyes and diverted her attention at the receptionist. “One,” she answered and smiled. The receptionist typed on his computer with such noisy keyboard. “Room for single bed overlooking at the canals, am I right?”
“Yes. And do you serve breakfast?” she asked, after a long second the receptionist turned to her with a key on his hand. He faked a smile, Selene could tell. “Yes, an exquisite breakfast will be delivered right at your doorstep Madam. This way, please.” The receptionist went out of the bar and guided her to the elevator. Selene was not really expecting anything particular in the hotel, just something that she could stay comfortably, somewhere she could picture herself just like in her dreams.
“Thank you,” she muttered, dragging her luggage inside the elevator. “I’ll be waiting for the

You seemed tired.”Selene forced a smile. “Yeah, yes I’m sorry what were you saying?”Calix sighed, worry still not leaving his eyes. “I said Rebecca’s here.” Calix turned to his side and pointed at a fine and elegantly looking lady talking with some guests. “I want you to meet her.Will that be fine?”“Goodness Calix, of course I want to meet your fiance! Come on.” Selene pulled Calix on his arm and dragged him closer to Rebecca.“Baby,” Calix called her, Rebecca’s eyes landed on Selene and she immediately excused herself from the guests. “This is Selene.”“Oh my goodness finally!&rd

I pushed the record button, and the little red circle started to blink. The timer on the top-left corner of the screen flashed the time elapsing inthe video. Ten seconds… Fifteen… I took a deep sigh and smiled. “Faye…” I muttered with a hoarse voice. “Are you watching this? I hope you do. I hope you somehow checked for your clothes’ pockets before throwing them out in the laundry, or else, I’m doing this for nothing.” I chuckled, finding myself silly. “And I hope your brain cells work to realize that what I’ve written was the new password of your computer. I’m sorry for changing it.” I cleared my dry throat as I began to feel the tears already filling up.I looked at the clock, and ten minutes from now Faye would be back at my hospital room.

“How many are still left?” he asked Zera, while massaging his temples as he sighs out of exhaustion. Zera scanned her tablet for the remaining people scheduled for today. “There are still four more,” she answered while looking at her wristwatch that tells it’s already 3:00 in the afternoon. “Do you want to cancel the rest?” she asked Lucas, who now seems like he will fall asleep anytime soon with his eyes closed. After a few minutes and multiple exhausted sighs, he rose and stretched out his arms and neck, showing he is going to finish all the remaining people for today. Without a word, Zera went out to call the next client. A knock on the door was heard and the door burst open. Lucas rose his head and there he saw a full-bearded man in his 30’s with a belly pooch sticking out of his red shirt, he has a full-sleeve tattoo of different kinds of snakes and flowers

His first stop is Cafe Ysabel. A famous coffee shop downtown where people crowd in like they can’t breathe without their coffee. It has a beautiful Romanesque interior design with a lot of different kinds of coffee and desserts offered. The owner of the cafe is a client of Lucas, who sold his life just so he could attain success in his business. Lucas entered the cafe and the owner, Aeron, approached him immediately wearing a big grin. “Well, well, well, to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence here? Name it and you’ll have it!” His smile annoys Lucas, he just can’t fathom humans’ level of stupidity when it comes to their desires. “Just the blackest and most bitter coffee you have, like your soul.” He winked at him and proceeded to the table beside the window, just right in front of a lady who looks like in her 30’s wearing a nude spaghetti strap dress loo

Have you ever felt like the clock ticking in every second feels like it is counting down on your last moments in life? The irritating sound coming from it feels like a drum roll on your way to death, mimicking your steps towards to an unknown end. Selene sipped her hot chocolate milk, the rain is pouring hard outside. The roads have been blocked by humongous trees that fell down due to the storm. Hayes decided to suspend work as most office works were canceled as well so there’s not much customers that would go out with this kind of weather. Selene hates the rain. Aside from being stuck in home doing nothing, Faye has been a little freaky about her condition. She wants her to just stay indoors, but when she told her she would not live long, she started to plan trips and set dates for vacations abroad.

“Well? Care to explain what am I missing here or am I just going to take this as my signal to fly away?” Faye said, looking at Lucas and Selene, still staring at each other.“You actually found my place, why are you already leaving without meeting me?” Lucas can’t hide his smile. He thinks that his charms already worked on Selene.“Because I did not go here in my own will,” Selene looked at Faye, glaring. Faye just shrugged at her.“I did not think that your infamous business needs an appointment to get your service, it’s actually a shame because my friend over here needs to wish something big,” Faye put her arms around Selene, “and as soon as possible.”“I can arrange that for you, I just need something in exchange,” Lucas’s smile grew bigger making Selene uneasy.

A knock came at the door, with excited steps and giddy smile, Selene ran towards it. She stopped for awhile to catch her breath and brush her long brown hair with her fingers. She heaved a deep sigh and twisted the doorknob, pulling the door open.“Do you know where’s the police station? Paparazzi’s been harassing me way too often.” A deafening silence took over after the question. Selene stared at her for a long time.“Pfft.” Selene cannot hold it anymore and burst into laughter. “Oh I’m going to throw you out and feed you to those baffoons!” Selene threw a big hug to Faye. She missed the warmth of her hug that was partially caused by her thick emerald coat and scarf tied neatly around her neck under the heat of May.“You look ridiculous,” Selene commented on her outfit. “You really came here wearing that?

A sudden loud thunder shook Santuario del Santo Cristo. The detective’s eyes roamed around the parish, meeting familiar gazes among the people. He realized that all of those people that Lucas want to put protection are all here. He gathered them all using a way he doesn’t want to know.“He invited all the potential victims here, while expecting the killer to visit him at the bunker?” the detective asked Sister Bella. They were sitting at one of the benches, patiently waiting for Lucas to follow them inside the church.“He knows what he’s doing. He put everyone here, because the devil knows he cannot enter in God’s home,” Sister Bella answered. “Is he going to be okay?”The detective cannot bear the anguish anymore, he suddenly stood up but the nun was quick to grab his arm. “Where are you going?” she asked.“I’m going

The smell of antiseptic combined with the metallic smell of the equipment made Selene dizzy. She was staring at the ceiling as the nurses push her bed along the hallways to the laboratory. Faye’s head popped to her sight, smiling slightly, she smiled back.They entered a cold room and she was transferred to a flat surface, a huge bright container waiting above her head. She tilted to the side and saw the doctors and nurses along with Faye and Calix, staring at him through the monitoring room. So much people watching her and giving her their full attention as her body started to move towards inside the MRI scanner.Faye lets out an anxious sigh. She looked at Calix who was beside her, also looking all uneasy. “Lucas better be here after her surgery or else I’ll be throwing hands.”Calix snickered. “Throwing hands won’t do anything. And you better let Selene d

“Good morning Ms. Madden, how are you feeling?” Selene’s doctor entered her room with a few nurses behind him. Faye and Calix stood beside her bed as they both helped Selene to sit up.“I’m feeling better, fortunately,” Selene answered with a smile. Her eyes were droopy as she just woke up from her daily needed nap. “Is there anything wrong?”The doctor smiled at her. “Good to hear that, and no. We are actually here to announce that I have received your request.”“What request?” Faye asked, frowning on Selene then on the doctor.The doctor took a deep sigh. “We are going to operate her brain. She made a personal request after I discussed the terms of her current state.”Selene lowered down her gaze. After she decided to be admitted in the hospital, she onl

She heaved a deep sigh and felt her lips tremble a bit.She made careful and calculatedmoves on her way to the lounge, slowly pulling the zipper of her bag open. Her eyes darted to the door of Lucas’ office but she quickly diverted her attention, fighting the urge to go inside. When she finally saw the Tree of Death, rotten and lifeless, she closed her eyes and did her ritual.This is where she begins.The detective was catching his breath as he rushed down the station, his keys dangling on his fingers.“I need more b
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 42 Zera's End
Lucas felt a sudden jolt on his chest and flew himself right up. He gasped for air but his lungs felt shallow, nothing on his body was pulsating with life. His eyes widened with agitation as his pupils constrict trying to see from the darkness.He pulled himself up after letting the dizziness subside. A familiar cold pierced his skin but it no longer hurt him, he can only feel the scentless fog around, brushing against his pale skin. He exhaled slowly as he took his first step. His hands winging in the air, trying to find something concrete that could guide him. Finally as he took big strides to what seems like a place empty in all matter, his hand touched a rough barrier, he let his hands wander on it until he felta knob. Lucas closed his eyes, readying himself to enter his home. He twisted the doorknob and pulled the door open.A room, with a fire inside a furnace on the side, countless bottle of alcohol o
