Kylo’s Point of View
We followed Vitton and entered another door. My eyes glittered in awe when a marvelous sight welcomed us. They led us inside an enormous mansion.
There’s a mansion underground? It’s unbelievable. Indeed, there’s more than what meets the eyes.
There was a grand staircase at the center. The furniture was vintage, like they created the place a long time ago.
The Demis were roaming around the area. They dressed them up like royalties. They gathered in circles and chatting, some were alone at the corner while reading a book. People were cleaning around, wiping the frames, and sweeping the floor. I smiled when I felt safe because somehow we were one of them.
Vitton faced us and said, “Feel at home.”
I raised my hands as I surrendered.“What do you want from me?” she asked.I know she’s Niah.“Is this how you welcome your guests? With a knife on their back? Quite peculiar.”I have proven that I’m not a righteous judge of character.“I’m sorry to tell you I’m a better actor than you are. So, tell me. What do you want?” she said with agitation in her voice.“I never know that Demis are violent without a reason… Put that thing down while I’m still being nice.”I heard her sarcastic chu
Vad’s Point of View Pieces of chips crackled as the girls munched the fried potatoes and licked the cheese on the tip of their fingers. The crispy fried chips may look the same as what we have on Earth, but it tastes better. We circled all over the round table as they exchanged sassy conversation. They sat with their legs crossed and chin up like a well-groomed lady. It’s something that the current generation on Earth lacks.The girl with curly hair delightfully spoke.“Are you ready for tomorrow’s event?”The girl with round glasses smiled at her.“Yes. I’m so excited.”“I can’t wait to see the fascinating firewor
“What have you discovered so far?” I asked.I crossed my arms as I gazed at her, waiting for valuable information. We went farther away from her chick named Niah. Although I couldn’t bear to think about the physical attachment that they had earlier while she’s using my body, this is not the time to argue about how much I dislike it.“I can forgive the disrespect that you did for my personal space, as long as you tell me the things I need to hear,” I added with a tone of dismay.Her brows furrowed as she exhaled. The magnitude of her irritation was oozing.“Personal space? Sojin held your hand,
When Niah was crowned as the newest Watcher of their kind, they danced the ceremonial coronation. They formed a circle on the sand and placed six candles around it. Niah stood inside the circle with a wide smile. The Animies and Demis surrounded her as they chanted the ritual. They performed a tribal dance with the rapid beat of the drums.It was like watching a musical show in a theatre. The full moon shined the brightest, but red spots crawled over it like bloodbath was about to happen.The feast began at 1:00 am. It was the weirdest time to eat dinner, and I don’t have an appetite. Kylo and I have separate cottages because she chose to stay beside Niah, while Sojin sat beside me. They set a variety of dishes on a long and narrow refectory table,
Kylo’s Point Of ViewNiah was delighted after her coronation. Every day, she was bubbly. Seeing her happy about a misfortune that she doesn’t know bothers me. The demis bow down to her every time she passes by and smile at her. She has gained their respect and gratitude.I can’t tell her they’re going to kill her, especially that I don’t have any evidence to prove our claim. I have a bad feeling about it.“Kylo!”It shocked me when Niah appeared out of nowhere. I dropped the book that I was reading and it fell to my feet.“Aww!” I ached in pain as I shook my left foot.Niah laughed at me.“Why are you so surprised? And what are you reading?” she asked.She walked towards me and grabbed the book in my hand.“Dating 101? I never knew you like this stuff,’ she teased.“Well, the books here are limited to l
Ever since the beginning, Wagner despised the idea of love. He’s the arrogant type who never lays a finger on women like they’re the most disgusting creature in the world. At first, I couldn’t understand why. But his reaction today made me realize maybe he can’t find love in women, because he’s into men. Seeing how he wants to protect Sojin from our mess, answers all my doubts.“What’s wrong with liking Sojin? He’s our leader. He’s a great man, and I saw how affectionate he was towards Vad. I’m a little envious of it,” Niah said.Wagner massaged his forehead with the fingertips of his right hand as he closed his eyes. I could sense the tension flowing from him.“I will not force you to do as I say, but you have to come up with an idea to distrac
Niah tightened her grip on my shirt. It was not my first time seeing an awful sight of mounds of skeletons, but I guess it’s her first.“Do you know this place?” I asked.I gulped as sweat soaked the back of my shirt, though the humidity was freezing. The place felt like poltergeists haunted it for a very long time.“I-I do not know…”Why is there a basement under the library? Who else knew this place? Who are these corpses?I looked intently at Niah as I held her cheeks. Her eyes were on the verge of crying.“Listen. Pull yourself together. We have to get out of here as soon as possible before anyone notices our disappearance, especially Luxferre and Vad,” I said.I hugged her and caressed her back.“Calm down. I’m here, you’re not alone. Remember that you are the chosen one. You need to be strong for your people.”Her heart
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
