In his room on the second deck of the cruise ship, Kaspar put blue eye contact lenses in his eyes. Next, he picked up the black curly wig and placed it securely on his head. After a few minutes of fixing his appearance in the mirror, he was finally satisfied.Even if he bumps into the couple, they can't easily recognize him because his disguise looks authentic. As long as he doesn't talk to them face to face, his charade won't be discovered. Clarice may remember his original voice, but if they accidentally bump into each other with no choice, he will just use a fake voice to talk to her.For now, he would just follow the couple around at a safe distance. He doesn't want them to notice that he is following their every movement.He preferred to throw Clarice into the sea if he spotted her alone without her husband around.Putting poison in her food would be difficult because that would need perfect execution and her husband was always around to complicate things, and he had no weapon th
Days passed by quickly.On the fourth day of the couple's wedding anniversary, they had a romantic candle-lit dinner inside their suite and made love all night long.On the 5th day, the couple spends their time in the pool area of the cruise ship and enjoys the jacuzzi along with other couples.They watched skaters on the skating rink for one hour. They also tried bumper cars, bikes high above the ship, and skydiving simulators. Then they proceeded to try a roller coaster ride, took the plunge and loved the adrenaline-pumping, exhilarating experience.They were having so much fun.The couple also went to watch a show in the theater.That night, the couple watched movies in their room and after finishing watching the movies, they left their suite and went to their favorite spot to enjoy the lovely night.They settled comfortably in the sun lounger and admired the star-filled sky."I want to drink chocolate coffee," Clarice said.Alpha Callum stood up. "Alright, let's go and buy coffee.
He couldn't stand the tense silence anymore. The agony of losing his wife was creating havoc in his system, making him desperate. It's either Clarice fell into the water or she was held captive by someone and held in their cabins.He needed to know what truly happened to her, or he would go crazy.He left the room and went to find the captain of the cruise ship."I want to find my wife. I want to know if there is a killer on the loose boarding this ship, or if she has fallen into the sea. I want clear answers!" he demanded angrily.The captain fell silent for a moment, then spoke, "What do you want to do, sir?""I want to search every single room on this ship to make sure no one is keeping my wife in his or her room. That's the only way I can be assured that she was not taken advantage of and not imprisoned in someone's room and held against her will," he said accusingly.The captain scratched his head in dismay. "Um, I have to warn you, sir. Not everyone will allow their rooms to be
Alpha Callum arrives at an empty farm house. No one was around, so he put his bags in the corner and settled on the sofa, waiting for his grandfather to arrive.While waiting, he re-imagined what happened to his holiday vacation with his wife on the cruise ship.No matter what others said, he didn't believe Clarice had jumped into the ocean willingly. Someone had thrown her into the water. His wife was happy with him. She would never resort to suicide because they were blessed with a loving and peaceful marriage and had a son together.After searching the ship from top to bottom, he finally gave up on his suspicion that Clarice had caught a serial killer's attention and was abducted on board.Clarice definitely fell in the water because there was no way she could vanish from the cruise ship without leaving any trace behind.He was in deep thoughts when the door opened and Grandpa Eliezer entered the house. He was surprised to see Alpha Callum in his house looking distraught. He knew i
Kaspar finished his one-week-long holiday on the cruise ship, making sure that Clarice is already buried in the deep ocean with no chance of coming back to the land of the living.He watched in satisfaction as Alpha Callum desperately searched every room and cabin to find his beloved wife. But he failed to find her.Kaspar was lucky that heaven favored him because the CCTV camera in the couple's favorite spot malfunctioned on the same day he succeeded in completing his evil plan.Since no evidence can point to him as the culprit of Clarice's disappearance, he enjoyed his remaining days on the cruise ship, unbothered.Aurelia and Viviana were ecstatic after he informed them that Clarice was finally gone and would never come back again. He told them that Clarice drowned in the deep ocean and her body had probably been eaten already by sharks and other dangerous animals inhabiting the deep blue sea.Carrying his travel luggage, he left the ship in high spirits, happy with his accomplishm
Two months later...The distraught Alpha Callum arrives at his Grandpa's farm, broken hearted."Gramps, I don't know if I still continue searching for Clarice in the ocean. We still can't find her no matter how hard we try," he said miserably."I know, son, it's very tough on your part. I wish I could help you. I'm also sad and devastated by Clarice's disappearance. You have already run a missing person ad in every major newspaper in the whole country but no one has found Clarice's body yet. The worst thing I can think of is the reason why we can't find her body is because some sharks found her first and we both know what it means." Grandpa Eliezer said sadly, patting his grandson's shoulder to comfort him.Alpha Callum wept quietly. "I don't know if she's already dead or alive. If she drowns, I just want to find her body and give her a proper burial. Is that so much to ask?" he asked dejectedly.Grandpa Eliezer sighed heavily. Watching the misery in his grandson's eyes filled his hea
A thousand miles away on a secluded island far from the city and towns, Clarice was wide awake, sitting on her bed in total darkness. She trembled in fear when the door opened. The light coming from outside flooded the dark room.There she is...Demetria, the bloodthirsty vampire, enters the room to feed on her blood again.Clarice trembled in fear. This vampire will feed on her blood again and again, leaving her fearing for her life. She fears that one day she will die and never be able to escape this room alive because this vampire will drain her body dry.Although Demetria saved her from drowning in the dark ocean, she was also feeding on her blood thrice a week.Demetria snapped her hand and light flooded the room. "How are you today, dear?" she asked, coming closer."Please let me go home. My husband and my son are worried about me. They think I have died. Please set me free," Clarice begged desperately, tears flooding her eyes."Dear, I just want to let you know that your husban
She was transported back in time when she was alone sitting on the sun lounger, enjoying the lovely night, waiting for her husband to arrive with their coffee.Then came the stranger, intentionally dropping his wallet on the floor and her nightmare began...Clarice felt her heart beat frantically when she realized that the stranger was no other than Kaspar. He took her off guard, froze her and lifted her body, throwing her into the water without mercy. When she hit the water she thought she would die. She can't do anything to help herself.She screamed, trying to ask for help, but no sound came out of her mouth. She felt her body falling deeper into the water, but to her surprise she resurfaced in the water again and, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the cruise ship sailing away without her.Nobody saw her when she fell into the water. No one could help her, even her husband.Horrified by her hopeless situation, she will die alone in the freezing water. Her dead body will be eat
Clarice glared at Demetria. "Are you pressuring me? Is this your way of forcing me to kill bad people by going after those kidnappers who abducted the missing children and women?"Demetria nodded her head. "Yeah. You have a reason to kill because you are going to save lives!""No, I'm not going to do it! I'm not some kind of superwoman that saves the weak and punishes the bad people. This is your scheme, not mine!" Clarice argued fiercely.Demetria sighed heavily, disappointed with Clarice's unwillingness to do the right thing. "Sometimes I really wonder if you are fit to be my successor? You are too stubborn, too difficult to convince, dear," she said in a frustrated tone.Clarice refused to be swayed. "Forget it! I'm not going anywhere today! Why don't you go and save them yourself?" she suggested indifferently, but deep inside she knew people's lives were in danger and only Demetria could save them."Where is the fun in that? We will go there and save them all. You and me," Demetri
The two women stepped outside the house, facing each other.Demetria asked Clarice, “Are you ready, dear?”Clarice nodded her head. “Yes, I’m ready. I’m excited to go to the city and see other people,” she replied enthusiastically.Demetria smirked. “You will see a lot more today, both the good and the bad,” she said cryptically.Clarice’s brows furrowed. “Huh? What do you mean? I want to see the good only, not the bad,” she said, frowning.“You will know soon enough,” Demetria said. “On going to the city, what do you want to try this time? Teleportation or floating in the air in invisible mode?” she asked.“I like to go to the city, hovering in the air, not seen by others,” Clarice replied excitedly.“OK, your wish granted, dear,” Demetria responded with a smile. She waved her hand in the air, wielding her power, creating an invisible structure, enveloping them.Clarice felt the changes in the air. She poked her hand at the invisible jelly-like barrier surrounding them. “I can touch
A few hours later.Clarice was sweeping the floor in the living room and kitchen when Demetria arrived, holding a box.“I have a surprise for you, dear,” Demetria said, showing her the box.Clarice's brows drew together, wondering what was in the box. “What’s that?” she asked curiously.“It’s a camera. We will install one in the basement room so you can see and hear what your enemies are talking about,” Demetria explained.Stunned, Clarice’s ears tingled. “Huh? Who did you kidnap this time?” she asked.“Who else? Of course, it’s Kaspar and Aurelia,” Demetria replied.Clarice’s heart beat faster in her rib cage. The thought of her enemies imprisoned in the basement filled her heart with anticipation. For a second she had a mixed reaction to it. “Are they already in the basement?” she asked.Demetria smiled after seeing the reaction on Clarice’s face. “Are you excited to kill them?”Clarice takes a deep breath. “I honestly don't know what to feel right now,” she answered, astounded.Dem
Viviana refused to give in to the nun’s mind game. She must not lose her focus on begging for mercy. “Sister, please have mercy on me. I want to go home, my baby daughter needs me!” she said in desperation.“Dear, have you been good lately? Did you not commit any sin?” Clarice asked.Viviana was confused for a moment. Why is this nun asking her about private stuff like this? Ah, because nuns served God, the divine entity that humans served and obeyed. “Yes! I’m a good person. I mean, I didn't harm anyone! Please believe me!” she said convincingly.“Dear, you should strive to be a good person. Don’t hurt anyone. Never venture on the bad side or else karma will catch up with you. Do you understand?” Clarice asked.“Yes! I will never hurt anyone. I will never do bad things. Please help me leave this place. Have mercy on me and my baby daughter. My little baby needs me,” she pleaded fearfully for her safety.Clarice fell silent for a moment. She couldn’t bring herself to harm Viviana. She
The last thing Viviana remembered was that she fainted in the arms of the hideous-looking guy from hell. When she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the bed in an unfamiliar room. She scanned the room, panicking because there was no window, but she saw a door.Her mind rapidly recalled everything that had happened to her before she lost consciousness. She remembered the guy from hell. That scary guy abducted her!When she thought everything was just a dream, she was shocked that she was still wearing her red lingerie. She’s not dreaming at all, everything is real! She trembled in fear.Her eyes landed on the door.She leaped from the bed and ran to the door, grabbed the door handle and tried opening it. Her heart stopped beating when she realized she couldn't open the door. Is it stuck or locked outside?Realizing the danger she was in, she kicked the door with her feet and punched it with her hands. “Anybody there? Let me out! Please help me, anybody? Let me out!” she
The whole day, Alpha Callum was bothered by his dream. It seems so real! The way his wife begged him to teleport her to Grandpa Eliezer’s farm still rings in his ears.Since he couldn't do anything that day because he was restless, he teleport to the farm to have a talk with the old man.Grandpa Eliezer was feeding the chickens in the backyard when Alpha Callum appeared in the clearing.“Pops, how’s your day?” Alpha Callum asked.“Good, son. How about you?” Grandpa Eliezer asked, putting the feeds on the chair, facing his visitor.“Um, I dreamed of my wife last night,” Alpha Callum replied.“What was the dream all about? You looked anxious,” Grandpa Eliezer commented.“In my dream, my wife and I are lying on the bed in our bedroom. Then she begged me to teleport her to your farm instantly because somebody is holding her in captivity. That’s how I understand it. She sounds scared and anxious. Then the dream ended abruptly,” Alpha Callum explained in a tensed tone.“Oh, it’s just a drea
A deep frown appeared on Clarice’s face. “Huh? What are you talking about? I don’t get you,” she said, confused.Demetria smiled. “After searching for someone to replace me, I finally found someone who was worthy of my power. I’m now willing to give it to you, but with several conditions…"“Huh?” Clarice’s confusion grew deeper, but she was intrigued as well by Demetria’s offer. “Tell me, what are the conditions, so I can inherit your power?” she asked.“You must kill three bad people, part of your initiation rite. You must never abandon this place. You will protect it with your life and the most important thing is, you will never release those vampires imprisoned in the forbidden rooms upstairs. Once they wake up, they will unleash hell on earth and life will never be the same for all living things in this world.” Demetria ended her lengthy reply.Clarice gasped, stunned.“Dear, there are two types of vampires in this world, good and bad,” Demetria added.Clarice’s eyes widened in sh
Clarice tried her hardest to get back to the dream she shared with her husband a few minutes ago.Suddenly, her body relaxed, and she drifted into a deep slumber. She found herself in the master bedroom, gazing at her husband’s face lovingly.Her dream resumed where it left off. This time she tries to go with the flow.She was staring at her husband’s face, waiting for him to open his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, she smiled brightly.Alpha Callum gazed at his wife’s pretty face. “How long have you been awake?” he asked gently.“A few minutes ago,” Clarice replied with a smile. “What do you want for breakfast? I want to cook for you today,” she said.“The usual… pancakes, bacon, eggs, coffee. What else?” he said, planting a kiss on her lips. “I’ll need more sleep. Come back later if you are done cooking, my love," he said, kissing her lips and closing his eyes again.“Okay, I’ll head to the kitchen now and prepare our breakfast,” Clarice said happily. She left the bed and exite
Hours passed quickly.Clarice was reading the book, yet her mind couldn't concentrate. She went to the kitchen and prepared her food for dinner. After eating delicious noodles with eggs and herbs, she went outside the house and stared at the horizon.Demetria told her that she would bring her husband at 10:00 in the evening. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It’s still 5:45 p.m., too early.She’s getting nervous as time passes by. Anxiety is killing her.Her success in escaping tonight depends entirely on her husband’s action and cooperation. As much as she is confident that she can escape tonight, she also can't ignore the possibility that her plan will fail.The night is getting late. Clarice's nervousness rises to the roof. She felt restless, pacing back and forth in the living room, at a loss for what to do. Should she just go to her room and rest and wait there or stay awake and continue watching the wall clock like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode at any given m
