Because of the overwhelming feeling of what Inspector Heinz just stated, I was struggling to fell into my comfortable slumber. However, my perpetual abhorrance ended mysteriously, and when I woke up, the gentle bright ray of sunglight rising from the horizon greeted my eyes. I was engulfed with comfortable warmth, my body seethed with something I’ve never felt before; something that heals myself, something that gives me strength.
As I moved my body and was in an attempt to open my eyes because only God knows how fatigued you’ll become the next day when you literally slept late the night before, I felt something soft brushing against my arms. One of my arms felt like it touched a number of fabric, a lot more than just a single hospital robe I’m wearing and the bed sheet, while the other one rested above something warm and supple which strangely is not to my disliking. Upon transitioning between a squinted almost closed e

(Asher’s POV)“Oh hey there, little girl.” I crouched down in front of her, still stretching my clasped hand a bit to my front to let her held my hand and to make sure I didn’t hurt her while I sit. I mean, I am 6’1 and she’s a cutesy pie- I mean about 3 to 4 feet tall, so I don’t want to cause any damage or scare her either way.“Hello.” Her tiny and cute voice greeted me back. She then let my hand go and began to fidget shyly while fumbling the end of her small hospital robe.I smiled. “What are you doing here, sweetheart?”She giggled, probably happy that I called her that way. I too am happy to see her smile.I paused a bit when I felt a hand caressing my back before I felt a subtle push. Then I saw Elaine also crouching beside me, using my body as a support as she bent down.“Hello there.” Elaine chirped in a soft tone.The girl immediately blushed and

(Last night)‘Horrendous’, that’s what the half blood Inspector Karl Heinz concluded while seeing a headless body lying in front of him. After receiving the news of the lost of Nathan Michaelis, or, that was what Hans stated after the tracker he mysteriously managed to place inside the evil Madam’s secretary’s phone lost it’s signal. A dead battery was what Inspector Karl Heinz thought at first, but suddenly the phone moved towards un unplanned direction then suddenly died? Not so.The partner in crime of the Inspector thought the exact scenario of what happened to the secretary; with evidences of his damaged car being driven to the warehouse area, blood spraying in places, and claw and bite marks on the neck of the six lifeless body detected by his group.Inspector Heinz sauntered to his partner, who just got up from crouching beside a severed head. Because of acute damage to the face, the perpetrator’s identity is almo

(Asher’s POV)“Mom, what is the meaning of all this?” I called my mother soon after I finished reading the news. Meanwhile, Elaine is in a daze on her bed.“It heightens my mood to hear you so energetic in the morning, son.” My mother dithered.“Mom…!” I retorted, getting a bit annoyed.My mother loudly cackled, entertained that she managed to irritate her son. My mother can be like this sometimes.“Alright, I’m sorry, my dear.” My mother finished her laugh. “So it’s like this, apparently our allies increased. I received a report from the police HQ that multiple reports and requests of arresting Rose Chadwick was received in just a short amount of time yesterday, which was why the police was able to apprehend her using the arrest permit.”My mother suddenly giggled again. “I’m just impressed by how fast things progressed.”&ldq

(Two weeks later…)Based on the number of squirrels and birds going outside and begin collecting nuts and berries, and twigs for their nests, the seasons have displayed their apparent change. From the smouldering hot summer to the chilly cold weather of the autumn, time passed by Maplewood, like many other places. Yet, a figure is looking at itself in the mirror restlessly, hopping at one place while huffing and puffing as it tried to calm itself.Not too far from the jumpy figure, separated by a wall, there was a sound of people talking briefly, followed by the sound of knocking on the door.“Elaine?” A muffled male voice asked from the other side.The jumpy young girl separated herself from the mirror to turn her head towards the door.“Come in.” She heard her voice skidded a bit, indicating her nervousness. While she swallowed, a male clad in a three piece suit and tie entered the room. His emerald pair of eyes sta

“Mister Nathan!” Elaine shot up from her seat. Asher who was sitting on the seat beside her turned to look at her, before his eyes shot up to see Nathan.“Mister Michaelis!” Asher paused a bit to look at his back. “Is Miss Jonas still not here?”Nathan smoothly shook his head and formed a half smile, saying “She had some matters to attend, so I will be the only witness for today.” As he still didn’t tell the two of them that Nikita is in coma.Elaine shot a worried look at Nathan, before giving it to Asher. “Will only one witness be enough to support the evidence?”“Probably.” Asher threw his gaze to the empty defendant’s table. “Let’s just hope that snake didn’t bring her wales inside the courtroom.”A few minutes after he said that, Rose Chadwick appeared from behind the doors with a couple of police who’s holding her restrained.

GaryGary Chadwick had never expected his own wife to try and kill him. In the morning of the trial, Gary received a call from Rhea Ildian asking him to go to the trial as one of the plaintiffs. The middle aged lawyer had always been wanting to expose his wife’s cruelty of her abuse, so he agreed. While the lawyer prepared to go to the courtyard, flashes of memories filled his view.In the beginning, Gary thought Rose’s abuse was a way for her to teach Elaine like how a parents would do to teach their children a lesson. However, his three own children never received punishment as harsh as Elaine’s. She was abused day in and day out while having to do the housework as well as studies. Gary ignored Elaine’s sufferings for the first couple of years all because his wife whipped up a lie saying that Elaine’s parents have done something terrible to her in the past.However, the sufferings continued, and mental abuse towards her began to g

GaryMeanwhile, Rose Chadwick flared in disbelief and hatred. There are reasons why Gary Chadwick wasn’t his wife’s attorney. The first one was to avoid biasing, as Gary and Rose is related, the second one was because Rose didn’t trust Gary anymore to be her attorney because he allowed her to be arrested, an the last one, was because her husband was supposed to be killed so he won’t be able to come to the court today to be a witness. Yet unscarred, Gary Chadwick came with his limbs still attached, as if the group of 20 people Rose Chadwick hired were never there to target him.“You want to make a statement for the plaintiffs?” The judge reaffirmed. At the plaintiffs seat, the Asher and Elaine couple looked at Gary unblinked. Asher then turned to look at his mother, and saw Madam Rhea nodded her head.“Yes, Sir.”“Hm.” The rightful head judge narrowed his eyes as he mouthed a short comment. He gla

NathanNathan Michaelis had been swallowing several times to ease the discomfort he felt in his chest. He felt like dying, but at the same time, he’s still alive and well. The recurring vibration of his phone shook him from his taxing activity.“Hello?” Nathan answered, ignoring the caller’s ID.“Nathan.”Instantly Nathan frowned. This voice at the end of the line sounded alright recognizable—a deep and smooth voice of Carson Dimitri, the person that he loathes yet he couldn’t seem to escape him. Carson’s voice would always bring a mysterious sense of peace whenever he heard them, yet this time, that one words leaving his mouth added more to the excruciating pain he’s experiencing. What is wrong with him?“What is it?” Nathan cleared his throat after that. The discomfort in his chest be really killing him slowly at this rate.Carson fell silent as if hesitant to tell. Su

(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.

(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

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.

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.
