I never thought the day would come that I’d look for a man suited for my daughter. If I were to decide, I would let no man touch her. But my time as her father was limited. It was the only opportunity I had to test whether Treyton was worthy of her.
I packed my things and went to school while Kylo and her mother stayed home. Her Mom applied for a temporary leave so she could bond with me after school. It was also a chance for Kylo to interrogate her Mom and know the truth.
The students stared at me as I walked down the corridor. I didn’t have the strength to look good in front of them. They could feel the low energy inside of me as I heard their gossips.
“What’s wrong with her?”
“She was missing for 3 weeks.”
“They thought she’s dead. She’s so creepy.”
I paused for a moment and looked at them. My keen eyes pierced through them as I walked closer to the t
Kylo’s Point of viewI watched my Mom slice each of the vegetables with a smile on her face. She took a break from work for the first time. She thought I was dead, and she has regretted the days when she couldn’t give much attention to me. When dad died, she felt like she lost everything when I was always there, trying to comfort her.I cleared my throat for her to look at me. It’s the right time to ask her the most crucial point of my life.“Do you need something?” she asked.“I have a question.”She looked straight into my eyes and stopped what she’s doing.“I just regained my memory recently,” I said.
Vad’s Point of View“Get one unbroken sheet of paper and answer the following questions on the board. You have 30 seconds to answer each item. You have 25 minutes to answer everything. One glance at your seatmate and you’re going out of this room. You know the rules. Ready or not, the timer starts now.”I crossed my arms while leaning my back against the wall. The students concentrated on their papers, making no noise. They fixed their eyes on the blackboard and on their empty sheets. They’re well aware of how I conduct punishments if they make one wrong move, and it wouldn’t be a splendid memory for them.It’s been three years. If you’re wondering what the great Vad Wagner was doing in a university, it’s simple. They assigned me to do undercover and catch the one who’s responsible for the missing students recently.A sound disturbed everyone’s
The police came to the scene and dragged the suspects inside the car with cuffs on their hands. When I went back to Kylo, she was already with Treyton. He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. Unfortunately, he wasn’t under my supervision.“Treyton? What took you so long? I can’t believe you left your girlfriend on this dangerous path,” I said in dismay.He bowed down his head with a faint smile.“I’m sorry, Professor,” he said.“It wasn’t his fault. It’s my idea to lure them.”I averted my gaze to Kylo.“What? What made you think of that, Ms. Morris? Something bad would have happened to you if I did not arrive on time. Aren’t you scared?”She looked at me in the eye, and I felt odd.“No, because I know you’ll be on time.”I was about to respond when someone hugged me from the back.&l
I walked upstairs to meet my class for the last time since I had caught the people behind the abduction of missing students. It was not a complete success because I haven’t taken down their boss, but the abduction would cease to exist in this university. The next thing they’ll do is to lie low and look for an alternative scheme to continue their business. I placed the pile of test papers on my desk and stood in front of them. “As you all know, today is my last day as your professor, because I’m only a substitute. Today, I’m going to let you have the privilege to ask me some personal questions. Take note, not everyone has the chance. What happens in the classroom, stays in the classroom. Got that?” The student nodded as they smiled and gossiped about some gibberish I couldn’t understand. “But before that, I’ll return your test papers. I’m glad you studied well because your scores are great. The highest score in the class is
Vad's POVMy head hurts as a lightning bolt struck in front of my handsome face. The accident immobilized me, and I have a hunch that a massive molten rock was on top of me. I shut my weary eyes, and I can't sense my adulthood. I clutched for air while my heart palpitated even without caffeine.Am I going to die like this? I'm too young, and heaven wouldn't be ready for my arrival. Could it even handle me? Satan would slam hell’s door in front of me. I'm not welcome there either. I'll put the demons in shame because I'm too hot to be in there.What I have in mind was my mission. I am the only one who can save humanity because I am Vad Wagner. I am the best in my craft. What will happen to them if I die? As of the moment, it's hard to find someone better than me. No one can even reach my level. I don't want to brag, just being honest.I can't lose track of Lambo, the one I've been chasing for quite some time now. He was the leader
Kylo's Point of ViewI opened my eyes, but I could only see darkness. Did I go blind after the ritual? I feel dizzy. I can't move my arms.I was right. Maybe it wasn't true, and they scammed me. What an idiot. Who would believe that it will work? Well, only a dumb kid like me. I was so desperate to eradicate my bullies, so I went in search of something that might help me get out of this misery.I tried to stand up... What is this? Who tied my hands?The lights blinded me when it turned on. I roamed my eyes. I was inside of an empty room. It was a small room where the walls and ceiling were all white. I sat on a chair at the center where they tied my feet. I don't have any idea what's happening.Maybe I am in purgatory because I feel hot. I should prepare myself. The angels would probably execute me for what I have done. I am a disgrace for doing such a mortal sin and having to use black magic for my advantage. I shouldn't ha
After an hour of walking, we arrived at a small village. It was a kilometer away from the forest. They carved the name of the village on top of its gate.“Welcome to Apostria!” The old man said with joy.Two men guarded the gate as we entered. The villagers were busy doing things on the sidewalk. There were vendors and kids playing on the street. There were beautiful murals on the walls.So these people like art. It’s clear in their clothing, which has intricate patterns and designs. One could identify that they belong in this village at a glance. They made their houses out of wood and straw hut.“Welcome to my humble home,” he said as he led me to one house.I went inside their not-so-spacious house. They divided their place into rooms which contain a kitchen, a dining area, and three small rooms. There was no chair, instead, there were mats around the small table. I followed him as he sat down on the mat.“I suppose
I was feeling better, so I went out of the house. As I roamed my eyes, I saw festival flags hanging on every corner of the village. They repainted the murals, so it became livelier. Kids were playing around; some were passing by while eating cotton candies and ice creams.I walk past vendors who were selling street food. I don’t even know how they made it, but I tasted it anyway. The smoke didn’t bother me at all. I don’t have money but the seller gave me the food for free since I have helped them eliminate the Changelings. I was ashamed because I’ve eaten lots of it. Their food makes me crave for more, so I walked out before I could eat everything.There were also statues which I assumed, Apollo and Asteria. They look heroic and true warriors wearing only clothes made of animal skin with bow and arrow in their hands. They filled their eyes with passion and courage.“You’re our hero, too.”I

The demon’s assumption froze me.“Daughter? That can’t be,” I said.Kylo gazed at me.“Yeah. That can’t be,” she added.She dragged her body to lay her back against the wall.“You just can’t remember it, Vad. Perhaps you had buried that memory as if it was a mistake.”The demon knew something. I think he’s also aware that our body swapped.“What are you talking about?” I asked with knitted brows.The demon chuckled.“Remember those good old days in high school when you escaped from school and went to a bar?”My mind was lagging as I tried to think deeply and looked back to my younger years.I remembered a nostalgic moment. I was with Stinger that time when we plotted a plan on how to escape from the deathly barricades. Outsmarting the Electrical Engineers was like overthrowing the agency itself. After that day, they became more strict, and no one could escape again. We also became famous.
I waited for the pain to penetrate my whole being as I closed my eyes. Dying in front of Kylo was torture. Dying before the eyes of someone who looks up to me and believes that I’m perfect. But unfortunately, perfect people die first before anyone else.“Die!” Vior said in a hushed tone.I heard someone groan close to me. Someone landed on my chest that made me open my eyes in a hurry. It was Sojin. His body fell to the floor as blood flowed from his abdomen. I bent down to look at him closely.“You, fool. Why did you do that? I was ready to die. You ruined the peak of the momentum,” I said.He smiled as blood came out of his mouth.“Because I can sacrifice myself for the one I love.”“Love?”I smirked.“You could have lived for the one you love. What will happen to the one you love if you left her alone?”“It’s alright&h
I gathered all of my strength and pushed Sojin to the ground. He groaned in pain and looked at me with troubled eyes. I flashed a sinister look and clenched my fists.“No one can stop me, not even the deity. Today, blood will spill on my hands. Do not intervene and call for help. Because when you come back, you will bury the bodies of your evil people.”I turned my back on him and entered the basement. As the door slammed behind me, the Animies averted their gaze from me with blood dripping from their mouths. There were four of them. I suddenly remembered what the angel told me.“They crave their own kind.”So this is what he meant by that. I was right. There’s something suspicious about their history. Someone must have fabricated everything
Vad’s Point of ViewI haven’t seen Kylo for 8 hours. My gut tells me they’re in trouble. Before Luxferre raised his head to enter the library, the wall opened, and I saw them. I saw Kylo and Niah hopped in a huge cabinet and it sank under the ground.I don’t know what’s going on. This place has a lot of twists and turns. Sometimes, the walls shake and a path reveals itself.I found Vitton sewing dresses with her bare hands. She’s a blond girl with deep blue eyes. Vitton looks innocent and harmless among others. She glanced at the window of her room where I was peeping and smiled.I opened the door and entered her room. Her shelf was filled with old books, almost worn out. An ancient lamp serves as light as she sews the dresses of
