After the ecstasy that I felt during the dance, Sojin led us to a door. It was an immense door made of stones with intricate patterns. It has a shimmering crystal at the center.
As Sojin pressed the crystal button, the glow of the crystal flowed down to the patterns like a stream, but something colored it green. My eyes sparkled in amusement. The door creaked as it opened.
A cozy room welcomed us. It surprised me to see something normal in their place. The tile of the floor was radiant. They placed a king-size bed at the center, and a lampshade to the left side.
“Suit yourself. Tomorrow, you need to wake up early,” Sojin said.
“Wait. May I ask why you have this kind of room?” I asked.
“We built it especially for humans.”
I gaze from side to side to look for the three pirates.
“Where are the pirates?”
“They escaped.”
“What? I didn’t notice.”
“They brought some emerald stones with them, which w

Wagner’s Point of ViewSojin’s emerald eyes pierced through mine like the eyes of a poisonous snake. He commanded the dinosaur to stop without looking at it. He can’t take his eyes off me, and it’s the most irritating thing I’ve seen. I told him to get out of my sight, but he heard nothing.I flung his arms and rolled over. My death stare wasn’t enough to shake him when I made it on top of him.“What a wild girl. I like that,” he said.That was it. I lost control and punched him in the face.“Pervert! Do you think you’re cool? Geez. You’re below average.”I stood up and wiped away the dirt on my clothes. The dinosaur growled like thunder. Its sound echoed through the dark tunnel. Without the shimmering emeralds splattered all over the path, it wouldn’t be nice to stay there.“What? Do you want to fight? Come on. I’m not a s
Sojin led me in the middle where there’s a wide space, and everyone looked at us with little emotion. Among them, Kylo has the brightest smile. Deep inside, I want to punch her until her teeth fall from her gums.I’ve been telling myself that in everyone’s eyes, I am a girl. I have to get used to this scenario when men approach me and flirt. Seriously, I’ve never been good at this. Maybe I have to learn from Sojin because someday, a goddess might come after me. I do not know how to flirt because women usually do the chasing, and I’m just chilling while ignoring their stupidity.
“Have you seen the library of congress?” I asked.“I haven’t.”“It’s the largest library in the world. But I guess this place is larger.”The ceiling of the library was so high that it almost reached my pride. Hanging from it were five gigantic, ancient chandeliers with the brightest light I’ve ever seen. Its diamonds glitter as light touches it.We stood up and walked toward its bookshelves. I traveled my fingers through its edges to feel its texture. The curio cabinet with glass doors screams elegance. Master artisan constructed the wood with an antique finish. It contains three drawers of various sizes and six shelves for storing books or display decorations. It has a stylish accent for each living room.
Without hesitation, I flipped the next page.Lights gleamed from the book as it opened so wide, stretching its pages. My fingers almost got burnt, so I immediately threw it away. It floated above us while glowing so bright. I raised my hand above my forehead to shade my eyes from its luminosity.Something suddenly came out from it. It was a colossal creature. It has the body of the largest black horse in the Guinness Book of the world record. His upper body was a human form with the face of a man. He has two gray horns and magnificent golden wings. He flew above us in a circular motion.Kylo fell to the floor while staring at the weird creature. Her jaw dropped and her face marked a terrifying sight.The creature landed on the floor and walked toward us. His
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,
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
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
