The place outside of the Frost forest had many weeds growing, and bone of various species laid around the place. Everyone assumed them to belong to creatures that entered the Frost forest. The magical beasts threw the remains outside after done playing around with the people.
Thinking about it caused Seraphine to chills. Seraphine and Joseph only had to look around for a while to see what type of weeds had grown, and after that, they could leave.
Bile rose in her throat while a negative emotions took root in her. Her intuition was most of the times correct, and she knew something bad was going to happen. This made her want to almost want to run away from this situation.
This was when Seraphine’s eyes fell on something, and her eyes widened at the blue-green plant. She kneeled down to touch it. Even though this was just a bud, this was Settyx. This place was dangerously close to the Frost forest.
But seeing how the Settyx
Chills ran down her back, making her turn her back. Seraphine felt as if she was being watched intently by something, leading to further fear settling inside her chest. Rather than being also murdered, these type of situations that directly came out of the horror movies frightened her more.Just as she was trying to figure out, the surroundings lit up. However, that barely led her to feel comfort. In fact, it only caused her to be more terrified.Red eyes were watching her from all directions before switching the color of their eyes to different shades and then returning back to red. The sensation was bone-chilling.Then, she noticed the countless insects crawling up the tree— each of them having multitudes of legs— and the sight made her feel instant disgust. Creatures resembling worms swam at the swamp, and at the look of this, she only got closer to the barrier.Closing her eyes, Seraphine waited for Kayden to arrive. At the same time, she
Befuddled, Seraphine pointed out, “That can’t be it. You are not Kayden; Kayden would never hate me.”The man kneeled down in front of her. Extending his hand towards her, he gripped on to her chin, causing her eyes to widen. The pain was very much real.“What do you even know about me? Do you think I will be stuck in gratitude for you? That’s the reason I want to kill you off. You’re my humiliating past.When you look at me with those condescending eyes of yours, acting so arrogantly, I wish to dig out those eyes of yours. I hate it how you act as if you’re the reason I am like this. You pathetic bitch!”Staring at the man with tears in her eyes, Seraphine’s bottom lip quivered while she brought the question to her mouth, delivering them in words.“Then, why did you do all of that?”“Well, that was repayment. Didn’t I pay you back enough? Now, you can just die. Be
A groan escaped from her mouth while she fended off the beast that attacked her. Just a few minutes into walking further in the Frost forest with the little squirrel-like creature when she was invaded by these wolf-like creatures.They had the face of a wolf. However, their body structure closely resembled that of a human’s. They appeared to be severely dehydrated and had their blood vessels popping out. Their skin was in a shade of gray-blue, and saliva popped up from their mouth.The advantage they had over her was their great speed. Due to this, she wasn’t able to run away and face the countless number of them that came in her direction.Although they weren’t particularly strong or smart— primarily working on their instincts— they had a leverage over her with the numbers, and even if she cut off tens of them, more just comes popping up, making her realize this wasn’t the end of them.Being ripped into pieces by these
Following that, something in her path caused her to stumble, and before she could help it, coupled with the ongoing burning pain inside her, it was enough for her to collapse on the ground.Knowing that, despite her strong desire to be alive, there was no way out for her, and this caused her to sigh. Staring at the claw that was about to make its move towards her, she closed her eyes, waiting for the impact.At the same time, she had been wondering on how many times her life have been endangered within these short period of time. It truly made her want to curse out for getting a while of peace was impossible for her.But as she was drowning in her deep thought, the pain she expected hadn’t come, and opening her eyes, she was met with the sight of a man standing in front of her. It was Clayton who killed off the creature.This caused her eyes to widen, surprised, not expecting him to save her the last minute. Her luck— once again, she didn&rsqu
“Just what were you doing out of your room? In this state? Do you know how you nearly died!? Ah! You are making me frustrated! Seraphine, are you asking for a beating? Do you have a death wish!?” he yelled at her.Seraphine’s emotions were a mess indeed. One second, she was hardly away from crying her tears out, and now she was holding in a laughter that was threatening to break out.It was due to how her brother hadn’t changed slightly over the years. This brought back countless memories she was fond of, making her chest constrict painfully.“I-well…”Seraphine stuttered, not knowing what to say at this moment. Her mind was malfunctioning, and she was able to make anything out of the situation. What she wanted to do the most in his moment was to hug her brother.But she was left wondering whether or not that would be her being too forward and making him feel uncomfortable as a
“Aren’t I caring for you enough? I am not beating you up,” he pointed out before continuing to chew her up further. At this point Seraphine turned a deaf ear to all of his nagging.Of course, her chest was filled with various complaints. She wanted to shout out at him, asking why didn’t he acknowledge her before this. But finding it humiliating, she held it in. Although he called her by her name, he showed no signs of rekindling their relationship, and again negative thoughts began to fill her mind.A pout appeared on her face at that, and grabbing on to the blanket, she covered herself with it before dragging her body under it, intending to ignore her brother completely.“Seraphine, are you listening to me? Don’t you dare show me this attitude! What the fuck were you even doing at that place? That is nowhere to play around.” A groan escaped from his lips.Seraphine took her head out an
The changes in Eugene was blatantly obvious, and she wondered how he suddenly had high EQ. Did puberty lead to this happening? However, what brought her embarrassment was that she was being comforted by her younger brother.Seraphine scoffed.“You have turned lame. I totally wasn’t worrying about it. I am cool with everything. You all are just making it dramatic,” Seraphine expressed, “Do you think those matters would get to me?”Even if Seraphine said that, her chest was filled with joy, relishing the moment. In her mind, she called herself silly for having those pessimistic thoughts in the first place; she was indeed a fool!At that moment, the door to the room was pushed, and entered in was Kayden. Panic was written on his face while he stared at Seraphine, and noticing his presence, Seraphine flashed him a bright smile.However, that only caused the look in his eyes to darken, making her gulp visibly. She could onl
“I did expect you to catch on,” he stated, “This was sooner than I anticipated. You must be hungry. Wash up. I will bring the food up for you.”To say Seraphine was baffled would be an understatement. She couldn’t believe how the man was acting as if this was a casual matter, holding on importance. If she could, she truly would have delivered a punch to his face for treating her this way.“Is that all? You’re not even going to apologize to me. Heck! Even if you do that, I am not going to buy it. You’re not even being sincere in the first place,” Seraphine expressed, “I must have looked like a fool in your eyes.”The man remained silent, and unable to bear it, she thought of the way to hurt him the most— physically. Knowing a hit from her would barely affect him, she moved closer to him and bit into his shoulder, hoping this would cause him pain.Using all o
