I walked into the house and the first thing I could notice was that it was completely empty. The house was massive, the emptiness was really obvious. “Where is everybody?." I dared to ask. He turned to me with a raised brow. “Everybody?." “Yes... You don't have family? Staffs?." “Some staffs come, they go when they're done with their jobs." “Oh." Was all I could manage The house was very masculine and majestic. Like the man. He walked out of the room and I wondered if I should follow him. He did not ask me to, did he expect me to follow him?I ran after him and saw him walking to another section of the house, the deeper we went the more demanding and fierce the decorations were. “I don't know your name." He did nothing to show that he heard me. “Did you hear me?... I said I don't know your name." “Hunter." “That's your name, Hunter?." He nodded just once. " You must be Thirsty." I was about to say yes when I remembered that I was drugged through water. I did not know H
FELIX I turned the door knob of the room Khan and Juscain was staying in. It was locked from the inside, kicking the door down would be a great idea but not the right approach. I did not want to end up being aggressive, over the years I found out that the best approach was to be calm.I was trying my best to keep my cool and doing something as much as kicking down the hard Lantharn metal door down would trigger my aggression. I could feel a furnace burning in my soul, it was hot and swallowing everything in it's path. I knocked on the door, tap tap tap.... More like bang bang bang bang. I heard footsteps drawing nearer.The door opened and Khan's red hair was all I could see since I was trying to see past his head, trying to catch a glimpse of what was in the room. I pushed the door open and Khan groaned and muttered something. The living area was mildly dark because all the curtains had been shut. The blinds were also down but I could see. Juscain was not in the room. “Where i
The door bursted open, temporarily breaking me from the trance and Vinx walked inside. I turned to him, his eyes scanned the scene, they were angry and filled with rage. He frowned when he saw the girl kneeling in front of me but the expression did not last long because he charged towards Juscain. A golden bubble wrapped around Juscain, khan and Ayana. I was still too shocked from Ayana's words to process what was happening in real timeA very loud bang and it was Vinx's fist crushing Juscain's shield, maybe I could not beat Juscain but Vinx would definitely take him down, he would tear him to pieces.The pounding stopped.“Where is Rainee?. Where did you take her you mother fucker!." “I don't know why you're accusing me of her disappearance." Juscain said“There was a back of security system installed by Nax after Cynthia escaped, we checked it and saw Khan drugging all the bottles of water in the fridge, sneaking into Rainee's room and turning up the heater, minutes later she wo
I watched Hunter walk out of the main door. I had been waiting for him to leave for almost an hour now. I put on my shoes and ran after him. I could see the back of the carriage and i intended to follow it, it was going a little bit fast but I could trail it. I was planning to walk with the carriage into the woods to find out what Hunter was doing in the woods. Whatever his business was, he was really defensive about it. It got to a point and I could not run after the carriage any longer. My exhales were coming in short bursts and I could hardly drag any oxygen from the air. I stopped running and the carriage started shrinking. I started walking instead, it was not very effective but it was the only way I could follow the carriage. There were many questions running around in my head, was I doing something stupid? What if I get lost here? How dangerous are my actions? I know that these woods were dangerous, I was literally brought here to be killed, the thought of the men nearl
NAX“She's dead." The moment the words left Juscain's lips, I ran towards him but the shield he created around himself was too strong, it cracked on impact but it would take continuous punding to shatter it. “She was killed yesterday. If only Felix decided to join us then this might have not happened. I said might because I would have killed her nevertheless for brainwashing my son into thinking that they could really be together" My heart was throwing itself against my chest. A hand was on the small of my back, bringing me back from the void I was walking into. “She's not dead Nax, I can feel it. She's not dead if not we would have known." My hands turned into fists but not because I was eager to break the shield but because they were shaking and I was trying to hide it. I crossed my hands over my chest and stepped back. Yoda was right or maybe I was trying to believe that Rainee was still alive.The golden glow of the shield got brighter and I understood immediately what was
We were still searching for what seemed like an eternity but sadly, there were no signs of Matt. Hunter turned to me and his shoulders slumped a little bit before he squared them again. “It's getting dark and we've passed our mark. Too many monsters come here to play with their prey, let's leave, I'm not in the mood to fight tonight." “I'm sorry we couldn't find him." It was really dark already, we've been searching for about nine hours now. “Where is your carriage?." I asked him.“Come." ***The house was far too large for only one person to live here. But, there were people that loved their own company and Hunter was just one of those people. I did not have any friends except for my family so I could not judge him for keeping to himself.“Your house is beautiful." I told him as we entered.He did not reply.“Tell me about your brother."“I'm not in the mood to talk, Rainee." I went to the bedroom he let me sleep in and took my bath. I changed into a top that belonged to Hunte
The house was basically empty, from the lobby to the living room. It felt as if I had entered into the wrong place. There weren't people walking around in their Blue uniforms, there weren't teens just casually strolling around as usual… where was everybody? It was still night time so maybe they decided to finally get some sleep?I went to my bedroom first, then to Kalum's, then Vinx before going to Felix's bedroom. It showed no signs that they had even used their beds. I went to Nax's bedroom and saw Nolaine laying down and scrolling through a phone.“Oh my gosh, Rainee?." I turned inhaled sharply and ran to Nolaine, it was so good to see her. “Nolaine..." I cried. “Oh my god, Rainee. How are you?." She asked pulling me away to examine my face. She looked like she was in shock, her eyes were round at the corners and her lips were open wide. “I'm fine.." She lifted my arms and examined my clothes. “Whose clothes are you wearing?." “The—" “Where have you been?." “I wa—" “A
“I am at no one's mercy, now get off me!." He released my hands and pushed his hair away from his forehead but it ended up falling over his eyes again. “You're fiesty…" I could hear just a sprinkle of amusement in his voice." Whatever." I muttered acidly knowing very well that he was close enough to hear it.“Why are you here?." He asked moving away from me as if I was a plague. I felt disappointment and relief at the same time. “Where is my sister?." “I don't know. She left." “Where did she go?." “I didn't ask." He turned to the wall clock that was chiming. “Time flew so fast, it felt like like just ten minutes ago but actually it's been hours." He turned to me, his eyes scanned my entire body. “Why did you two look so alike?." “We don't really look alike, in my opinion.... How did you find her?."I was praying that he was a good person and that he did not hurt her, I felt like he was a good person but I couldn't trust my judgment right now.I could not trust my judgment
