"ARE WE SURE we are in the right forest?" Jamie asked as they had been ruminating the forest for more than an hour now.

"Yes, we are. I can feel it but it's like the ship is not visible. Like it's abstract," Jared replied.

"We'd find it, don't bother," Jamie encouraged.

"Wait, something is wrong. I can feel it." Jared suddenly paused.

"In what way was the fortress protected? The ship is here, we just can't see it. Let's see if we can feel it." Jared shut his eyes for few seconds then opened them again before moving, taking calculated steps.

After few seconds of walking, he stretched out his hands and he felt something. He traced it further with his palms and realized it could be the ship they were looking for.

"I found it already," Jared said softly.

"Are you sure," Jamie asked unsure of what he felt but he kept a smiling face anyways as he approached Jared.

"You don't necessarily have to come to where I am. You can stand at the other side and feel it," Jared said and his friend und

    "WHAT MAKES YOU think those kids are not coming or making a plan," Michael asked. He had been engaging in a conversation with Henry since forever and it was reasonable so far."They won't," Henry replied, shutting his eyes and tilting his head to the back slightly to lean on the cushion sofa in his room."They would use today and tomorrow to come up with a executable plan, we move tomorrow morning. Just because I was disconnected for few minutes doesn't mean I'm no longer in control. Or don't you trust me?""I do," Michael replied. After thinking for few minutes and observing the silence, he started."How do you plan on getting Zoe and Evan out. Probably, capture Ruby again?" He asked.Henry smirked before replying."After bringing Virion back to life, things are going to change Michael," Henry was looking directly into Michael's eyes.Michael found his voice, few seconds after pondering on the statement."What do you mean things are going to change," he asked, confusion was evident

    ALFRED SLAMMED A leathered-back book on the huge table in the laboratory that was surrounded by the guardians except for Jared and Ruby. It was late at night and Jared was nowhere to be found since he decided to try talking Ruby out of leaving the Fortress."Did you guys even take a walk around the ship to see how it looks like? How large it was?" Alfred asked, raising his face from the book on the table to Jamie's face."We couldn't even see the ship but I suppose it was very large. It would have so many rooms and the interior was cool," Jamie replied."Ruby will help us with that. She knows the ship pretty well, it's the same that was brought here to carry out their operation," Jared's voice was heard through out the laboratory and a flurry of wind swept through the room. Everyone in the lab threw their face to the exit door of the laboratory to see who owned the voice.Jared was seen walking into the laboratory briskly while Ruby ordinarily lingered behind him."Jared!"

    SARAH UNCONSCIOUSLY SQUEEZED the masculine hand that was placed on her hand before she woke from her long sleep of recovery. Her involuntary action of gripping Michael's hand was as a result of the nightmare she had. She had no full memory of the dream but she knew she was falling from somewhere very high and was letting out an horrific scream. But, before her body reached the ground to be shattered to pieces, her eyes opened in slits and a blurry figure was standing before her. She shut her eyes and opened them slowly feeling a new surge of energy. The figure before her was no one else than her lover Michael. A faint smile escaped her lips at the sight of him.Michael smiled back and gripped her hand. She had not even realized they were holding hands until Michael squeezed and her eyes moved to the side of the bed where their hands were interlocked."I'm glad you are back," Michael said as their eyes met and with immediate effect they dove into a sensual kiss."I thought I had lost

    "WHAT! WHAT'S HAPPENING?" Jared said as he jolted awake to his king sized bed in his room. His mother was the first person he beheld as he jumped from his sleep.She was staring in surprise, wondering what kind of dream would have made her son react the way he did from his sleep."What's wrong? Are you okay?" Joanne asked, sitting beside her son on the bed."No, yes..I mean..no," Jared stuttered in confusion trying to understand what happened and how he arrived home."How did I get here?" Jared asked after realizing he had no memory of returning home from the fortress."What do you mean? This is where you have always been, your home," his mother chuckled, hiding her confusion. Deep down inside, she wished she understood what her son was saying."No, no way," Jared said, holding his head with his hands in disappointment. He jumped from his bed to his feet and paced before replying his mother's confused gaze fixed on him."I mean yes, this is my home," Jared quickly said after noticin

    "ARE YOU SURE you'd make it to work with all of these stuff storming the city," a red haired woman was asking her husband who remained adamant and chose to head to work that morning irrespective of the scrawnies storming the city and it made her worried."Yes daddy, you shouldn't go. They look scary, like monsters," a boy of about ten years old voiced out, suddenly turning from the television he had been watching to chip into the conversation between his dad and mom.Ian adjusted his already knotted tie that seemed to be of discomfort to him at the moment."Come on, it is only happening at one side of the city.

    "AFTER BRINGING THE scrawnies under our control then what next?" Henry asked, intruding his father's privacy even though he had said he wanted to be alone.Virion chuckled as he laid on the bed before speaking."I must say that I am really impressed with you. You've grown to be a very smart, charming young man," he teased."Answer the question," Henry blurted. He was not having it easy with his father. The only reason he had not opposed Virion's plans was because he was his father and furthermore, he wouldn't want to do it in the presence of the rest of his crew. This time around, Virion must let him in and expose all his cards to him if he wanted his support. Henry had his plans also and the only way his father could buy him over is if he let's him know his plans.Why would he decide to hurt thousands of innocent citizens?How was he able to bring Zoe and Evan to the ship with just a spell?!"Then we enter a diplomatic relation with the government.

    IT ALL BEGUN like a dream. You know that type of dream that seems to have emerged from nowhere even though you have always been aware of it's existence. It could be felt, it could give a sense of direction, unconsciously at first, till it becomes a reality."The fortitude". Jared had muttered under his breath that morning while simply replying with a nod."It's going to be the best for you baby, I've done all the necessary findings on the institution and they specialize in taking care of people who have situations like yours, we can trust them honey". Jared's mom said to her son leaning closely to him and stroking his hair in an affectionate way.Jared on the other hand, had a lot going on in his mind and so many questions unanswered. It had been approximately five years, twenty six days he lost his father to a fatal accident which almost had him traumatized as he was in the same vehicle and witnessed his father being ripped in half—a sight he wished he never beheld.Barely two years

    SARAH WAS PETITE, tall with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She was in her mid thirties but still looked twenty-five as a result of her round babyish face.As far as she could remember, she had been writing and she grew up with the dream of covering the most insane, mysterious, mythical and unbelievable stories and reports in her writings. Before the last two years, she had been doing researches on different gods and their mythical stories, coming up with captivating writings in forms of articles and short stories. In the last two years, she realized that there seemed to be gods among humans and wanted to cover a writing about them but she had not really heard anything about them or gathered solid facts regarding their existence. But she knew, she could feel it that they existed. Now, finally, there is a stepping stone for her.She grabbed her Jacket and made her way to the scene.As Ian climbed the iron railings with a huge back pack strapped to his back, he grumbled.

    THE RAYS OF blue light that emanated from the large metal halo scared Sarah who was laying on a stretcher in front of it. She flinched on the soft foam she was on."Are you done?" She asked turning her head upwards, uncomfortably so she could know what was going on behind her back.She stared at the blue lights that radiated the halo and the wires connected to it. The connection wasn't something deep. The wires were directly placed on the halo as it radiated with energy light rays in it's large round center. And the wires were connected to her head directly as a passage to her brain. It just stood there on several parts of her head. The light blue spread laid on the stretcher was complementing her light blue round-neck shirt.Without looking up, Henry replied. He was squatting in front of the halo and was placing the wires on it.The energy rays that radiated the halo in blue looked magnificent and the most beautiful sight to behold.The next thing on his mind was to get the spell bo

    RUBY'S HEART WAS pounding with every step she took but she was determined to make it out of the ship. All the time she had spent there, she had felt nothing but worry and regret. She wondered if she had been charmed by Henry. The only thing she cared about at the moment was getting back to the guardians, especially Jared.It was in the early hours of the morning and the sun was not up yet. As she sneaked out of the ship, the rush of cold wind that hit her gave her goosebumps immediately. She shivered a little before picking to her heels.The early morning sun was unforgiving as the intensity of the heat increased. Ruby wiped the beads of sweat off her face as she ran. The temperature of the sun was not in her favor at all. Nevertheless, she held her pace. There was no way she could have guessed that the ship was located in the open forest, one she was familiar with. The same forest outside of the city she had met Alex.Everyone else was given the freewill to leave the ship except fo
