Alex hadn’t returned for quite some time. I had finished my breakfast and taken a shower too. Opening the wardrobe I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the clothes neatly arranged.
Taking out a shirt, I lifted it to my nose. It smelled of lemon. Inhaling deeply, I put on a pair of trousers and a shirt. I had to thank the one who had done this for me. It felt heavenly to wear fresh clothes.

EVA’S POVMy heart came into my mouth when I saw Alex fall down, through the window. I couldn’t let him fight the monster alone. His blows seemed to not affect the creature even the slightest bit. I looked around the room. They all stood still like statues. No one stepped forward to save Alex. I extracted my hands after a struggle, ran to the door, and pushed Michael away.

Shouldn’t he have been inside Dixonville?He took the device from Alex’s hand and said, “I have been working on this for a year. I have developed software that uses AI to decipher languages. I can scan this page and upload the data but I need some clues. Even if we can get meanings of a couple of words, the software can decipher it through common patterns.”Alex looked at me expectantly while I tried to rack my mind and come up with some clue. I felt adrenaline course through me as I recalled the prophecy. I remembered the picture with the prophecy well and I k

I was just worried that Alex would get mad at me. “Alex, I don’t want to stay here any longer,” I said grasping his arm.

Unfortunately she sprung this plan on me like an unexpected shock. I didn’t even get an opportunity to react.I was so furious that I felt like dragging her away that very moment. I clenched my teeth and took deep breaths to calm myself. I would have rather knocked the cop down to escape. When she signalled me to run I was tempted to go and break the cop’s neck.

EVA’S POVI walked as quickly as my legs would allow. My hands and legs were full of minor scratches from stumbling several times.

I grabbed the nearby tree for support. Luckily I hadn’t falle

One moment I was applying force on the doors and the next moment the door was wide open. I was rendered dumbstruck by this. I hadn’t even tried hard.
FROST and FLAMES THE COLD VOICE
LIAM'S POVI sat alone in the hall while Eva and Alex went to get the manuscript.

I sat at the edge of the sofa tapping my foot and looking at my watch every two seconds. What was taking them so long?My mind veered to the day I saw that dream. It was as if someone was urging me to wake up. Maybe urging was not the right word, that voice had practically commanded me. I found myself unable to ignore the command.
