FoundThey began the search early in the morning. The sun had not risen; hence, Colin and the men used their night vision. Early on, they had shifted into their werewolf form, for staying in the form of a human would make them easy prey.Although it may pass one's eyesight, there were many creatures that lurked in the darkness of the forest. Surrounded by nothing but trees, one could easily get lost, tricked, or fall into the traps made by cunning creatures. And for the three men, that is the last thing they want to happen to them.With careful, but quick steps, they try their best to be as quiet and as stealthy as a snake. Flynn, the one with the brown fur, was the one who went ahead, while Rider was in the middle; he protected each side, always ready to attack.Colin was the one in the back, rather than taking the lead position. Being in the back of the two men, he can survey and keep watch of Flynn and Rider. He makes sure he keeps an eye on the two. Although, yes, these friends
The Necromancer Ever since Colin left the estate, Elinor was always looking outside at every window she passed by, she would always turn her head to look, hoping and praying that she would see them finally returning with the twins in his arms.However, it was only yesterday when they left, but for Elinor, it felt like months had gone by. "There you are," she heard someone say, she turned from absently staring at the window to look who was it.Suzanne, in her scarlet dress, was walking towards her. "Tatiana was looking for you," she told her.The sight of Suzanne reminds Elinor of her position in this estate and in Colin's life. She could not help but compare her dull gray gown to her scarlet one, her messy hair to Sue's blonde hair, not one strand is astray as they all stick to her skull in a tight bun."What for?" she asked, turning her head to look outside the window again, watching the golden grains from afar swaying, the surroundings bathed in the afternoon sun."She wants you t
Doubt"Why is it that you're looking for me?" Elinor asked the rabbit again. She no longer requires sleep. She requires an answer. Her mind is beyond disturbed by what was happening.The little brown furry creature blinked. It stood on its hind legs and slightly bowed its head."I want to be at your service," it said.Elinor tilted her head, showing her growing interest in the creature."Because I brought you back to life?" she asked.It nodded its head subtly at her.Elinor assumed that is what a necromancer is. Someone who has the ability to bring a deceased being back to life. Indeed, it is something that is one of a kind."You said I am more than just that, more than just a necromancer, what do you mean by that?" she asked, her forehead creasing."Apart from your ability to hear every being's thoughts and can communicate with us, you have the power that can outnumber every creature, you name it, and still, you are above them.""Where did you know such a thing about me?"She picked
WorthyHis huge hand grabbed a ladle. He used it to stir the boiling pot, bubbling and smoke rising up as he took the lid. His other hand went to reach a bowl filled with sliced chunks of broccoli and potatoes.Sitting on the table were Emory and Cressida. Their bright green eyes followed his every movement, both are waiting for the stew to cook.“How much longer?” Emory said, she caressed her stomach, she can feel it grumbling.It was their first meal of the day. For some days, they do have a lot of food provided by their uncle Edgar. But today, and the day before, he had gone home empty-handed. Seems like there aren’t many sources for him to fetch them some food.“I am yet to find a new place for us, where there are enough food to fill our stomach,” Edgar said to them the other day.The twins cannot do anything. They are still small to even get their own food. And so, all they do is wait for their uncle to return and they do so sometimes with a grumbling stomach.“Three minutes,” Ed
Strange ElinorColin’s forehead was filled with cold sweats. His nose is flaring and his breathing is heavy.He could feel his heart beating loudly in his chest as he sees four witches walking close to him. One of them went to go after Flynn and Rider who took the twins and is no longer in his sight.He clenched his jaw when they all laughed at him, their mouths stretched into wicked smiles showing him their rotten teeth.“What a brave soul.”“Yes, indeed.”The witches are now nearer than ever. A breath on his neck was what did it to him.With every strength left, he grabbed one of them by the neck and flung its body to a nearby trunk.The ugly old hag’s body rolled and twitched in pain. She hunched over like a fetus on the ground, twisting in pain in her abdomen.His senses heightened like he had an eye in the back of his head. He can feel someone going to take a blow at his head but he quickly dodges it.His hands reached for the knife he had hidden inside his boots. Although it was
Elinor spun on her heels. She has been watching outside the window, her neck hurts from being in the same position for hours on end so she decided to take a little bit of rest."I think I strained my neck," she told Bonnie who was keeping her company.The windowsill now becomes their hang-out spot. She had laid soft bedding on it and a pillow for when she had nothing else to do but look outside and wait for Colin's return.But this time, she need to lay her back and head to rest. And then after that, she would repeat the same cycle she had these days: Wait for his return, have a little bit of rest, eat, and then repeat. Bonnie looked up from the book she had been reading, "Go ahead and rest." "Aren't you gonna do the same as well?" she asked her.She jumped from the crooked windowsill where she had been sitting in the morning, and now it is early afternoon."I will, soon after I finish a chapter.""Alright, then." "See you at dinner," Bonnie said before she left."I will," she repl
Losing HopeColin's body froze when he sets his eyes on a deer. His hands slowly went to the back of his boots where he hid a dagger. Pulling it out slowly, he was about to throw it out with the intent to kill the deer but he heard Rider's rattled voice.She took the twin! She ran away!All muscles in his body froze at the very moment he heard the dreadful news."Colin! Move! Let's move!" Flynn shouted near his ear. He had to slap Colin to make him snap out of it.And with the help of that, Colin came back to a reality he swears to never live on. He's back again to an even more terrifying reality of losing the twins.His hands gripped the dagger, he was ready to throw it to Rider instead who was the one to blame for what happened."I told you to keep your eyes on them!" he screamed, his chest bursting with anger.Rider stepped back, his cheeks flustered from being angry and nervous at the same time, and his chest heaving with a lungful of breath.Seeing Colin this angry is among his w
A MiracleThe man's face was drained of blood, and so was Ernest's. Almost everyone who came face to face with the Spirits would have the same look on their face, pale with shock, gaped mouth, and trembling lips.But for the husband and wives that stood before a cloaked member of the Spirits, knowing that they both had gambled their souls to them, they were frozen with fear. Breathing became a difficult thing to do, and they had been holding their breaths now since he entered."I am here to take them," the man calmly said. Janet's eyes watched its pale grey lips move slightly.Without saying anything, Janet, who was determined to keep the twins earlier that she is willing to fight her husband for it, stepped aside to let the cloaked man make his way to the twins.She must have recognized that she cannot do anything at all.Gathering her courage to find her voice and speak, she spun in her heels to face the man. She looked into its black, hollow eyes, and in a terrified voice, she aske
