“Elaine!” It was Asher, and his chirping voice sounded strangely happy to see me.
Was he that happy to see me?
Maybe not. But...
“Oomph!” I was pulled into his arms in a tight hug. The two of us began to sway when he rocked my body as he hummed happily, as if, all the other students who gave him a strange look as they passed the school gates weren’t even exist.
“How was your sleep last night? Did you sleep well?” He leaned in to level his head with mine. In a distance, I saw another figure silently coming closer behind Asher’s back.
I nodded in hesitation, perhaps a signal that Asher seeks as he nodded while heaving a relieved sigh after my response.
“Alright, thanks guys. I’ll contact you later.” Asher said while he stood straight again, eyes gazing between the two unknown guys who safely escorted me all the way to the school gate.
The two of them grinned sheepishly, before out of nowhere, one of t

While it was normal for most young people to hang out and have fun after school, Asher’s trip with Elaine felt like bringing a restless child for her first sightseeing. Asher kept his eyes on Elaine who kept drifting apart from him and began touching random stuffs inside the arcade the two of them visited.“Asher, what’s this?” Elaine inquired excitedly, pointing at the crane machine with stuffed animals as the prize.Asher snickered and shook his head before stepping towards Elaine. “This is called crane game. It lets you keep any prize you get from that pile.” He pointed at the colorful and cute stuffed animals which were scattered inside the closed space of the machine.“Wanna try it?”Elaine nodded fast.Asher then pardoned himself to buy some tokens. Returning, he gave Elaine all the token for her to try the game.Surprisingly, in two tries, Elaine managed to obtain a cute, pink colored st

AsherAsher felt his heart clenched in pain. Just a few minutes ago, those stiff lips were forming the most wide and beautiful smile he had ever seen, now all that’s left were a thin fine line of her lips, unmoving although her eyes were drenched from her own tears. He pulled Elaine into his arms and ribbed her back, a few moments after that, Elaine buried herself as she sniffled, her small body trembled greatly, perhaps from the sobbing, or perhaps from the unwaning fear.The young teenage boy heaved a sigh. His mind is a blend between tired and also concerned about her. It feels muddled yet he don’t want to do anything about it, as if his energy is already depleted.He again heaved a long sigh, before sauntering to the bed. Then, with all his might, he fell on the bed and enjoyed the sinking sensation he felt as he sank on the thick and cold duvet. Having a duvet with dual function really helps with the season~At the same time, Asher didn&r

ElaineThe memory of the young teenage girl named Elaine Ozark was a bit hazy. She couldn’t remember much except for the loud blaring of guns and people shouting, and also the warmth of Asher’s hands that cupped her ears.Those hazy memories felt like a dream to her, like an illusion that her panicked self probably imagined, like what she did most of the time. But if what she experienced—those anxiousness and those fears—was a trick on her mind, then…“Is this place a trick of my mind too?” She mumbled, one hand at her chin as she pondered. The amount of blood gushing to her ankle didn’t faze her anymore, much like the sensation of thick blood spraying on her body and face. The most she did when that metal scented liquid sprayed on her face as it poured down filling the membranous floor was a gasp, because some of the liquid entered her mouth.“Ugh…” She wiped her lips with her clothless

Asher“Bro…” Ryan gazed at Asher as if he just saw a circus animal performing weird tricks in front of him that he’s not impressed of. Meanwhile, Asher hissed for him to shut up.The two of them were walking to their classroom after sending Elaine to her classroom, which along the way, gained more than a handful of staring eyes due to Asher’s fashion.He was dressed in a rare clothing; matte knee length long coat with black denim and black v-neck as well as a pair of lumberjack shoes matched his coat. His outfit is definitely a high tailored casual style that fit the cooling down season.He himself wasn’t really sure why Elaine’s private maid and Ezra suddenly barged into ther house, wearing cotented look on their faces as if children being given freedom to dress their dolls however their like. Due to that, Ezra enthusiastically spent almost one hour mixing and matching his outfist, which, was an activity he didn

(Asher’s POV)My mother, looked strangely estatic. After retrieving me and Elaine from the school, the three of us enjoyed the dinner in my late father’s restaurant. Just like me, Elaine was shocked to see the presentation for the dishes, and the amount which was surprisingly tremendous. We ateand chatted lighthearted topics, topics I knew wasn’t actually the reason why my mother ordered our servants to tend to us and brought me and Elaine to this high end family restaurant.After a fulfilling dinner, I began my interrogation to my mother.The first question goes simply like this, “Did something happen that you’re so happy?”My mother received the question well. Secretive and informative at the same time, she replied, “Indeed. It was something victorious to me, but it’s probably insignificant to the both of you.” My mother shot me a knowing smirk, a signal she would give me when she wanted only m

(Elaine’s POV)“Uhm, Mister?” With her thin voice, Risa called while checking up on her sharp light blue nails which were decorated with shiny golden claws. I don’t remember seeing that earlier.“Can I be honest with you using the kindest words I can utter? You’re a pain.” She stated while giving him a scrutinizing half glance. “And besides, with that children like damages on your face?” She sscoffed. “I can do better with mine don’t you think?”Bragging, Risa displayed her hazardous looking claws.Evan scowled. “You son of a b-!”“Alright students, get back to your seat.” Mister Liam interrupted by entering the class.“Evan, I don’t know what kind of cat caused your face to look like that, but you go take your seat.”Some of the classmates giggled.Snarling at them, Evan indignantly returned to his seat, wher

NathanContrary to the ambience of the bright and cheerful summer evening, the secretarial office of the Chadwick’s firm emits a slightly gloomy aura. It came from none other than Nathan Michaelis himself, whereas, people could see his sorrow filling the office, and it came from him alone.“Mister Michaelis?” Abigail the assistant secretary for Mister Gary inched closer to the gloomy Nathan.“Yes?” Nathan dithered, obviously sucking the sorrow he was feeling in his heart.“Uhm…” Abigail became uncertain. Hesitating, she fumbled the edge of the work file she’s holding.“So, how is Miss Nikita?”The assistant secretary saw his eyes glinting again with sorrow, yet Nathan didn’t cry, he just bit his lips.“I…She still didn’t wake up, not yet. But, the doctor said that she’s stable.”“That’s a good news.” Abigail

(Asher’s POV)“Just how on earth did you get that battered up?”I asked Rufus after the end of the second last class. The teacher is suddenly absent for the last class so it means self studying, but I guess it’s a good cause for me to calm my nerves down for the meeting later after school.Rufus grinned from ear to ear like a proud dog, his face is screaming with a praise-me look as he said, “I successfully fend off Evan and his group when they’re about to bully Elaine during recess hour. And also, I got a homemade sandwich from Elaine!”“You lucky bastard.” Ryan nudged him jokingly and gained his giggles.I snickered and shook my head. I commented Rufus’s energy and enthusiasm of wanting to protect Elaine although I only paid him $200 and a free meal in Chips n Charm. However, I sometimes wondered what bullies like Evan had in mind to persistently made one’s life miserable.&

(Asher’s POV) “This place is…” Elaine gaped for a bit as she looked at the night sky in awe, the two of us were standing on the apartment building that acted as the witness to my first encounter with her that changed our entire life. “You remember this place, right?” I stepped beside her and glanced at every corner of the roof of the old apartment building. Now that I have seen my surroundings with clear eyes, the apartment block really looks brittle like it’s going to fall off anytime. Meanwhile, at the corner of my eyes, I saw Elaine nodded slowly, though her eyes still looking at the sky. It’s probably because of the clear sky that I am seeing Elaine’s eyes sparkled more than usual, but I couldn’t help myself from staring at her. Unwittingly, I let out a scoff. “If I didn’t jump to save you I don’t think the two of us wil be where we are right now.” Elaine turned to look at me and chuckled. “I know. I still wondered how we survived

(A few hour after Asher woke up)“Uncle Gary called me yesterday.”Elaine began, trying to break the awkward silence between her and Asher that came out of nowhere. Asher who was still in a daze flinched when she suddenly spoke, his eyes rolled to the exit door for a few minutes to register the fact that his mother just left to finish work and took the next few minutes to muster his courage to reply her.“…What?”Elaine heaved a sharp sigh. Given how he delayed his response, Elaine knew something was wrong with him, yet she refrained from asking. Despite Asher’s vital and his response is normal and all, he must have still be in shock after waking up from the coma.“My uncle called me yesterday. He asked to meet me for dinner.” Elaine stated while adjusting her knee length pleated grey skirt to cover a margin of her shin. Plus the air conditioning of this VIP ward room, the chilly weather outside didn

(Asher’s POV)It was the day after I woke up from coma. The chill from the fall season is really been getting into me lately. In spite of me telling myself I’m cold, nature’s weather is better than the coldness coming from the air conditioner of my ward. Because of that, I have been wasting the hospital’s electric bills by opening the windows and basking my face in the evening air and sunlight.“It’s so cold…” I mumbled to myself.“Of course it would.” A voice appeared from behind me, followed by the sound of a door sliding.I turned around to see Ryan and Rufus entering the ward, each of them was was holding a bag of their own.“Whoa…” I snorted, trying to not cry because honestly, I missed them two even though it’s only about a week.Ryan sighed. “I might as well apply for membership in this hospital because of how frequent I’ve been visiting

(Asher’s POV)The first emotion after I regained my consciousness and stayed dormant for a few seconds was shame. The clips of scenes when Elaine was saying the words I have said to her inside The Flesh previously haunted my mind in a repetitive cycle that I slowly mustered the strength to one of my arms just so I could cover my face in embarrassment.I was definitely shocked to hear those words. “We’re in this together.” Was the last words I said to her when we’re inside the poison region of The Flesh. If she remembers my words, doesn’t that mean she heard my confession?“No way…” I croaked, ignoring my scratchy voice from just waking up.Apparently my voice is loud enough for this deadly silent room, that Elaine was awoken even by the subtelity of my voice.She blinked her eyes as her head tilted up. Seeing as I was lying down with my eyes open, she immediately shot up and exclaimed my name.

(Elaine's POV)The two of us stopped at the side of the lake and he sat down. He waited for me to sit, before finally uttered a word in a form of random conversation.“This place looks beautiful, isn’t it?”I was absentminded for a few moments, before I agreed.“Indeed. Do you know where this place is?” I asked the oddest thing I have ever asked. It’s obvious that this is just a dream, a realistic dream at that, but most dreams felt like this one.Asher shot me an undecipherable look, his eyes looked quite empty even though the orange hue from setting sun glinted on the glassy surface. Then he stated, “This is my inner consciousness.”I thought he was talking gibberish for a second, yet the look on his face speaks the truth. He wasn’t lying.“What…” I breathed. “What are you talking about?”His facts were too hard for me to process, yet I have

(Elaine’s POV)Currently, I am in a pretty inconvenient situation. I blame my gut feeling for coaxing me to follow it’s orders, as right now I am walking through a long way of inside some woods, of somewhere I didn’t know. I just suddenly got transferred here like magic.I gave up on wondering where I am the moment these ivies and vines began moving on it’s own and attacked me. It might be just the trick of my mind, originally, but that doesn’t matter anymore if the plant literally tried to pull you back into the bushes. Only God knows how terrified I am at that time, which actually happened just a few minutes ago.Right now I am trascending through the path of the woods. With the entrance of the woods already closing behind me, there was only one way and that was to go forward. I really wondered why am I sent here when I was visiting Asher.Suddenly memories of him flashed through my mind as I trudged the gloomy path. That&r

ElaineAfter school, Elaine decided to visit Asher at the hospital. She was informed by Madam Rhea that Asher just escaped a life threatening condition—by dodging the bullet from getting straight through the heart. That being said, Asher still won’t wake up despite his condition, as if something is holding him down from coming back to life.The young girl avoided going to the hospital at first because of the fear and trauma of seeing Asher being shot like that. Even though Rose Chadwick is already as good as inside a grave, that wretched woman still managed to inflict trauma even at the end of her life. What a cunning woman.Falling in a daze, Elaine didn’t realize that she had already reached the hospital. She went out from the car and thanked the driver before telling him that she will call when she wanted to get back. After that, she entered the building with a heavy heart.‘It would be better if Ryan and Rufus is here.’ T

Unlike her surroundings which were pretty loud and chaotic; siren coming from the ambulance bellowing through the air from the distance and the paramedic doing their job, security and defense team securing the peremeter and the other spectators who were bustling into chattering among each other, Elaine felt her senses pretty numb for someone who just witnessed someone close to her being shot right in front of her eyes.Her daze lasted even until the ambulance went away. Only her guardian, Rhea Ildian’s voice managed to shook her out from daze.Elaine shot her gaze up to meet Madam Rhea’s.Despite adam Rhea asking her condition, the middle aged woman was trying haard to not show any sign’s of trauma or discomfort for this young girl who probably faced many more fears than her. Yet her feelings still spill out to reflect upon her eyes. Still, she picked

(Asher’s POV)“H-Hello?” I don’t know why I’m stuttering, probably feeling nervous now that all the tension that’s building up just because of Elaine’s case had cleared up most of the space inside my heart, I now am able to think about something else involving us.“Hey.” Elaine chirped.I then unknowingly rubbed the back of my neck as I fell silent.“Oh, sorry. Did I call at a wrong time?”“What? No, not at all. It’s just…” I pursed my lips. “Anyway, what are you doing right now?”“I just took a bath and was on the bed.”“Oh.” I chuckled. “It’s still about 8 and a half in the evening, yet people are so tired.”Elaine replied my statement with a chuckle. “No doubt about it.”The silence between us ensues. Elaine suddenly thanked me, saying that she is just a random st
