Isaac walked down the empty imperial castle. He hummed a song, walking in a fluid movement as though he was dancing. His hands were kept lower, one circling half way and the other spread wide away from his shoulders. It almost appeared as if he was dancing with an invisible partner. He continued to close his eyes, walking down the staircase as in his head the song had began more intense. His feet moved faster and faster, his hand swinging his partner in a deeper curve as though he had let his partner down only to suddenly pull them back up. He only stopped once the music in his head had stopped moving. His eyes then turned to look at the bottom of the staircase where his left eyes had turned completely purple, unable to turn back to black which was his original eye color. “You are still insane,” spoke the creature standing right in front of him. “But that what makes you fascinating Isaac enough to gain my attention.” “Fascinating?” Isaac chuckled, “I gave you half of my soul, Nezu
Raindrops fell like diamond on top of his carriage. Dominic who had left the mansion to investigate the news he had just heard from his men was greeted to come back to today’s sky mourning on top of him. He sighed as the coachman jumped down from the driver seat of the carriage. He pulled out the umbrella and hovered it over Dominic before his master would get wet and ill. Dominic looked at the mansion, finding his room had been alighted, signaling that Rose was there. Dominic took the umbrella and looked behind, finding the unconscious Cain who he had just found. The man who is also his most trusted assistant had disappeared for weeks and was only found today as Dominic’s men finally reported to have found the wounded man. “I guess he does has a strong body,” spoke the man who had appeared beside Dominic. The young man’s eyes were silver. He is the man who his cousin, the King of Agios had lent to him. The man, although appearing younger than himself, was in fact the second best
It was a nightmare. It is a nightmare. There was no way this wasn’t a nightmare! Dominic felt his surroundings blur as he processed what Mona and Starvos told them. They both looked confused, wondering what Dominic meant by Rose and who she is. There was no way that they would suddenly play such an unfunny joke on him! But then everyone forgetting Rose wasn’t funny at all. “Where is Mr and Mrs Maury?” Dominic questioned for Starvos and Mona to look at each other. Anyone else would have forgotten Rose but there was no way for Rose’s own parents to forget her!“Didn’t you told me that Mr and Mrs Maury already left to Lady Victoria’s house?” Mona inquired for Dominic to sigh. Indeed, he recalled that two days ago Mr and Mrs Maury had left to take care of Josephine who had been found and kept away in his cousin’s house. “You two really don’t remember Rose?” Dominic’s face had gotten pallid which worried the two elders in front of him. They both shook his head, sinking his heart lower
Raindrops continued to cover Essex. Even though Essex rarely become a home for the raindrops, the past three days after Rose’s disappearance, the rain continued on as if it was mourning for the sudden turn of fate. Starvos sat out from the door, watching Dominic who appeared soulless as his back faced him. His son had locked himself in his room for days, as if to punish himself and Starvos didn’t know what to do as he couldn’t understand the reason why he had suddenly became sorrowful as though he had lost someone close to him.“If I have to guess, this must have something to do with the woman named Rose,” Mona whispered beside Starvos. The two people had taken a peek at Dominic from the gaps of the door, discussing the changes that occurred in Dominic in a mere night. At least, a night to them. “What? Are you telling me that he met a girl, fell in love with her, bring her home, and she suddenly disappear?” Starvos began his wild guess for Mona to shake her head. “I don’t know sill
Dominic who heard this creased his eyebrows. He took a moment to think of Mona’s words and finally saying, “So this person knows a lot about magic, right?” “Yes he does,” Mona confirmed at once, thinking this might be helping Dominic as immediately his face lit up. “How do we meet him?” He immediately questioned. “I have questions that I want to know from him.” “I can arrange for you to meet him. Not long ago I went to talk to him to discuss about the curse you were burdened with. He is an extremely kind person who can be talked with,” she spoke, turning around to see Starvos who tilted his head. “Although werewolves can’t really enter that place easily, so I would advise only one of you to come.” “Then I will stay,” Starvos said, knowing that Dominic is desperate to find this man who knows about magic, possibly for the woman named “Rose”.“Thank you Starvos,” Dominic responded at once. “I’m sorry that I would be leaving the burden to you as I leave the mansion.” “Don’t worry pro
The Master couldn’t blame Dominic for his suspicions. He could tell well how there was no one who had been good to Dominic without asking for a payment. This must be way he was on guard ever since he had entered the mansion. “I don’t need those,” The Master said with a small sigh of sympathy, “I could tell many people would ask you for a payment after they had helped you but I wouldn’t want to do that. At least not when you have suffered enough.”Dominic thought of how suspicious it was but didn’t have many people to ask for help as the master was the only person who could help him now. He asked, “I want to know about a magic that could erase one’s existence.”“The forbidden magic,” the Master said at once as if he had expected it. “Why do you want to know that?”“The person that I know have used it. Everyone had forgotten about her and I want to know if there is a way to reverse the magic,” He said in reply, clenching his hand under the table tightly. The Master settled his arms t
Shawn who had slipped into the room looked again at how Josie was indeed sleeping but she had been sleeping for almost a month now. He had tasked Isaac to search for Josie but the man had failed to do his task which he knew was a lie as the man was only pretending as though he was searching for Josie. Shawn could tell that there was a sense of dependence that Isaac had with him, wanting Shawn to always be alone as they were similar. Isaac was also afraid that kindness from others would turn him into a kinder person which he thought was foolish.Shawn looked outside the door, hearing the footsteps as Mrs Maury decided to leave the room for good. He then finally pull a chair near him, taking a seat beside the sleeping Josie.He reached out his hand towards her only to hesitate when their skin was about to come in contact. He decided not to touch her and held his hands together.“You know, I was the one who had prepared so that you would come after your sister to the castle. I planned
Shawn looked into her eyes but his thoughts didn’t waver. He shook his head firmly and replied, “I will not take back the choices I have done. I would do them again at any time.”“Even hurting me,” Josie noted, smiling to herself and asking what had she expected from the man standing in front of her. She should have known what kind of a bastard he was and stayed away from him! She should have known he wouldn’t regret what he did even if that means hurting her. “Go now,” Josie said, turning her face away. She pulled her blanket and rolled away, resting her head on the fluffy pillows. Yet even as she had told him to leave, he didn’t. Shawn remained where he was and sit next to her. Feeling annoyed, her eyes snapped backward and she glared at Shawn who was staring at her. Although she flinch at first when their gaze met, she hardened her heart, saying in anger, “Leave! If you won’t apologize or reflect on your mistake then you might as well think of me as dead.” Shawn’s jaw tightened
