"His disappearance was untraceable. It seemed he was helping a larger system," Simon announced. He strode nearer to Dominic and resumed, "All the souls he gathered for Mrs. Hamish were duplicates, unknown to her." He paused his speech, "Hunting him might guide us to our goal, don't you think?"Dominic waited. He thought for an instant, "I think it's time to stop by an old friend." He said, and Simon turned his head. It was dark, so Dominic took a cloak and stepped out of the room.___"The officials aren't performing their duties? What's the use of keeping them?!" An irritated voice yelled. The shivering young man before him could only nod his head as he strived to avoid the wrath which wasn't ceasing anytime shortly."Make sure awful reports don't show themselves, now go and correct them." The young man nodded instantly and recklessly walked out of the door.A few seconds laterThe door opened."Better make sure those reports are corrected before entering, 'cause if not-""Still hot-
Still startled, Lexi spun gradually to peek at Dominic. His appearance ceased changing a few years back which was odd, and as funny as it seemed his style of dressing hasn't changed.She gulps softly,"Ah, That's- I mean I didn't know you were back." She laughs a little, nervously. She wasn't supposed to be afraid of her guard, but Dominic was different. A call from outside tugged Katherine's scrutiny and she went outside, Robert, the recreant, just took the jar-ed flower and left, but after throwing her an insignificant smile.Old Traitor!"The mistress, why didn't I know I had one?" His voice was deep and intimidating, something a guard shouldn't be showing to his Master.And as if receiving the courage all of a sudden, Alexandra held up her chin,"Don't leave before me again, Mr. Lambert, I could get you fired for your incompetence." She said with composure, raising her gown with her hands she stepped out of the cabin, leaving Dominic behind.Dominic just smirked, coldly. He shuffl
𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑴𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑰𝑺 𝑼𝑵𝑫𝑬𝑹 𝑨𝑻𝑻𝑨𝑪𝑲!!!Katherine ran towards Robert's cabin, she was terrified and bothered."Robert! Robert..." She blurted as she stepped into the cabin. Robert was working on something and appeared oblivious to the happenings outside."Robert... The mansion is under attack! The people...they- they had no faces.. no body..they were like air... and-""They are the spirits of the forgotten," Robert said interrupting, he put his hand on her shoulder calming her down. He walked towards the shelf and pulled out a big dusty book. He opened and turned pages and finally stopped at a specific page."Is this what it looked like?" He asked, pointing at a ghostly image on the book page."Yes. They can't be eliminated, two guards are already dead and their faces were blue.. icy blue. Samuel is attempting to hold them off but I doubt he can,""They are cathas, spirits of the forgotten. They were offended. Someone must have done something to wake them, cathas don't a
"This way, Mr. Cole," The maid directed him toward the refreshment room. He ambled behind the maid and observed the Mansion, it was really big and decent."Miss Alexandra would be down in a minute." The maid told.Alexandra kept looking at the mirror as she arranged her hair, she wanted to look pretty, not for Oliver but for Michael.She walked downstairs and caught sight of Oliver. She then walked toward him."Hello, Mr. Cole," She greeted formally. She and Oliver weren't familiar with each other, they only met five times throughout the years, but that was due to him traveling too often."I'll prefer you drop the formalities, Alexandra, you can call me Oliver," he requested. His tone was sweet and gentlemanly. Alexandra knows his type, he's the all gentle and soft guy, just like Michael.She smiled, "Ok, Oliver. Shall we?" They both walked out to the back garden.The Mansion has been rather silent since King Magnus, Thomas, and Katherine are away; it's been many days now."What do yo
"Let me walk you to your room," The pleasant gesture from Oliver warmed her heart. They had been out all day keeping each other company, she wouldn't lie, he was funny and warm. But her heart was already set on someone else, Michael.He walked her to her doorstep, it was late. Robert was going to talk her ears off tomorrow for still pinning her heart to Michael instead of Oliver, he had seen them today and he had been giving her 'the eye'. Perverted Robert."So, are you busy tomorrow? Your tutor hasn't been feeling well, so no tutoring for you in the meantime. I would love to spend time with you." Oliver said. His eyes were looking directly at Lexi's. He shuffled closer to her, his eyes fell on her lips; so tiny and soft looking.Alexandra felt the change in atmosphere and gulped. She didn't know how to react, she wanted to move back but her back was already on the wall. She quivered negligibly when he brought his lips down to hers. But a voice stopped him,"Isn't that too early, Mr.
"Stop!" Someone shouted causing Damien to halt, "They isn't just any toy, it's a weapon." It was an elderly man.Weapon?A tiny vibrating object?The man walk closer to him and picked the toy off the ground. "Here isn't a play ground for a teenager," He shoved Damien out of the room.Damien almost stumbled as he was pushed. The old man was damn strong."Let's go," Roman appeared out of nowhere. He had an object in his hand. He sounded anxious even though he tried to hide it. "The shop isn't safe,""What do you mean?""What do you think the toy production was about?" Roman asked Indifferently as he stared ahead. It was hard to tell he couldn't actually see."I donno, to play with?" He recalled what the succubus had said about playing the toys with her."The toys were made from spells," His voice came as a whisper. "Weapons." Then he took a quick glance around before continuing. "We better get out of here."Roman took long strides towards the entrance door with Damien besides him. As th
"I was hinting to ask you, Ava, how did you recognize that I wasn't your King?" Dominic inquired as he lowered food on the ground for Ava and Marleen. The food was plain and unappealing."King Dominus wouldn't have abducted me. He's decent.""Decent, huh? Wait till you've glimpsed the actual him. We are the same, just with two bodies. I'm just another side he wishes to obliterate, but it's still there.""I-"Boom!The audible commotion rendered them all alert. The abandoned house was distant from other buildings, and it was nocturnal.Dominic glanced around him and his orifices snagged Marleen's apparent gaze. She wasn't frightened."You led them here," Dominic asserted. "How stupid of you." He let out and shook his head in disapproval."Let Ava go," Marleen announced firmly. Her eyes held determination and his eyes glowered."Sure," he dwelled, "But you'd have to stay in her place.""No!" Ava shrieked. "Let her go and I'll stay."Dominic whiffed and sat down. "You're too late Ava, sh
Inside a remote forest."She's of age now." Announced a woman.The women were inside a large room crammed with portions and weapons. The room was gray with a big pot on the crest of a burning fire. The pot was filled with fluid."I heard Sasha wants her," Another woman asserted.There were seven women inside the compartment, they all had similar traits and appearances."Third sister expects us to wait, the girl might be of age, but she's at a crucial phase right now." A woman near the first woman said.The seven of them were known as the Seven Sisters of Estein.Nobody knows their real names, they always operate in the dark."Sasha won't be able to, if she was wise she would have allowed the Ginnak to settle down a little." The first sister, Ammie said.The seven sisters were known for their different specialties."We need the Ginnak in its final stage, we've waited a long time for this." Mia, the sixth sister said."Natasha," Silvia, the second sister, called. "Don't tell me you're f
