The Last Flame

The world stopped moving when a beaming light in the middle of the road appeared. A man came out from the light and he looked around. He was not even surprised that no one’s moving, even the wind can’t be felt. The man went to the side of the road and as soon as he snapped his fingers, everything went back to normal as if it didn’t stop functioning for a few seconds.    The man started walking on the sidewalk and every woman he passes by, has their eyes glued to him. It’s a man’s dream but it’s not part of his. He has a different intention in walking the earth. As he strolls through the busy town, he gets satisfied.    ‘It’s a good thing that I didn’t ban visiting the earth. It feels refreshing.’ he said in his mind as he took a turn. “Hey, mister!” He looked at the kid from hi

Maddie yawned when the customer left. She hasn't gotten a good sleep because she’s constantly waking up. She feels that someone is with her in her room but she can’t see anything. She wanted to think that she’s just being paranoid but her gut feel tells her that what she’s thinking is real.    Theo sat in his usual spot with a newspaper in his hands which he can use to cover his face if ever Maddie looked at his place. He feels guilty seeing Maddie tired for not getting enough sleep. He couldn’t help himself but to watch Maddie rest. It’s the only time he can be close to her.    Maddie felt she’s being watched again so she looked around but no one had direct attention to her. She shook her head before she tried to focus.    ‘It’s just in your mind, Maddie.’ sh

Theo kept pacing with Jonah just watching him. A day has passed but Maddie hasn't woken up yet. Flora, the goddess of healing and childbirth, had already assured Theo that Maddie is just fine and needs some rest but he is still uneasy.    "Have you found Felix?" Theo faced Jonah and he quickly stood.    "Philip and Samuel and some of the soldiers have been hunting him down. Do not worry, Theo. They will find him." Jonah patted his shoulder but Theo just shrugged it away and walked towards the window.    "And if they don't, I will hunt him myself and end his pathetic life with my bare hands." He gritted his teeth before sitting next to Maddie who's lying in his bed.    Jonah left to give them some

Theo quickly went after Maddie. He even pushed Ingrid out of the way that angered her more. He immediately dived in the lake and swam as fast as he could to the middle part of the lake which is the deepest. Maddie, on the other hand, doesn’t know how to swim. She screamed due to panic so water came rushing into her lungs. She started to sink quickly despite her efforts in thrusting herself up. Maddie’s lungs started to fill with water and she’s already out of breath that is why she stopped trying to surface and just chose to face her end.  As soon as Theo spotted Maddie, he swam towards her but she’s sinking fast and already unconscious. He gritted his teeth before reaching for her. He wrapped his arm around Maddie's waist then they surfaced. Theo glanced at Maddie and she's still unconscious so he hissed in anger and immediately swam to the shore. He carefully la

"What do you think you are doing, huh?!" Maddie slapped Arthur's chest but it only made her hand ache.  She hissed while shaking her hand to ease the pain. Maddie cursed Arthur in her mind as he caused her hand and foot numbing pain within minutes. She glared at him but he just chuckled at her as he found her adorable.  "Put me down." Arthur followed Maddie's order and gently put her down to his bed.  Maddie's eyes travelled around the room and that's when she realized she's not in Theo's garden anymore. Her eyes widened and looked at Arthur who's now sitting beside her. It surprised Maddie so she quickly scooted away from him.  "Where am I?" She looked warily at him in fear that he would hurt he
