All Chapters of DARK MYSTERIES: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

  Daniel listened intently to the deep voice of the dean of his faculty booming over the mic. It had been almost three hours since he started his introductory speech and it didn’t seem like he was going to stop anytime soon. So far, it was talks of welcome, rules, how to excel in the university and of course, the old days speech of how he suffered in his youth and was able to breakthrough with determination.  Daniel sighed for the thousandth time in annoyance, wishing the old man could just get it over with. Another thing he regretted was not eating before entering the big hall as the results began to manifest in form of a growling stomach. He glanced at his watch: it read 2:30pm.Throwing his head backwards, he let out a frustrated groan which caught the attention of his friend sitting beside him.“Dude, just try and endure,okay?"Daniel turned to him. “ Easy for you to say,Jake. My stomach is killing me. You know I didn’t eat before l

 A hooded figure walked along the bushy pathway in the dark hours of the morning.His aim only known to him alone. Stopping by a large rock underneath a cashew tree,the figure sat down,leant his head against the tree and relaxed. Pulling out a cigarette from his pocket, he lit it and sighed in pleasure as he inhaled the smoke, a smile of relief on his face. Drumming his fingers on his thigh, he began to ruminate on the latest events that had transpired so far:The boy was finally here and moments away from being in his grasp. The one he had tracked for years was finally within reach and all he had to do was get him to be alone and that’s all.The problem? An irritating obstacle in form of a certain person kept on getting in theway and it was beginning to piss him off.Speaking of obstacles….“I know you are here.” He growled as he sensed the presence of another being nearby.“You can come out now. It’s pathetic.”A few feet from his left, anot

“Make yourself comfortable.” Mystery girl said as she entered her apartment, Daniel following close by and shutting the door after him.She had invited him over and being driven by paranoia, he accepted. He didn’t want any further run-ins with Luke on his way back to his hostel.He paused to look around her apartment.It was well furnished and quite spacious.There were two armchairs, a couch, and a flat screen TV with a bookshelf beside it. A large glass table stood in the center of the room with lots of books piled on it. By the far end of the living room was a door which probably led to her bedroom. Few meters away from the couch was a large dining table.“Wow?” He thought. “All these for one person?" Glancing at her, he took in her appearance. If he deduced correctly, she was not older than 17. Then again it was more difficult to tell a girl’s age than a guy’s.“Nice place.” he said as he sat on the couch.“ Thanks” she

     ~ THE PAST~“Honey, what do you think you are doing?”  A man asked as he entered the kitchen to meet his wife cooking.  He was in his early thirties and he was quite fit with no sign of protruding belly and he stood at an average height. He had well groomed raven black hair and a bit of stubble on his chin and he was currently wearing a red robe.The question was directed to his heavily pregnant wife who was by the gas cooker, making their breakfast.“I’m making breakfast.” She replied, giving him a look as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.She was met with a disapproving scowl on his face.“Come on, Joe” she whined. “It’s just cooking. Besides, it’s only a light breakfast I’m making.”He shook his head and moved towards her, collecting the spoon from her hand  and ignoring her protests.“Light or heavy breakfast.” He said  as he gently nudged her away from the gas cooker. “

..A bat hung upside down at the branch of an oak tree. It’s wings covering it’s body as it snoozed peacefully. A sudden movement below startled it and it quickly snapped awake, eyes glaring .Below, a white rabbit hopped around, it’s nose twitching as it sniffed around for food. The bat adjusted itself and stood upright on the branch, excited at the sight of a new meal. It bared it’s fangs in excitement as the rabbit continued moving about, unaware of the imminent danger about to occur.With a sharp snarl, it swooped down and  the rabbit suddenly, seeing the approaching predator, took off. It was a short chase as the bat was gearing closer, it’s feet close to grabbing the rabbit by the neck. Then it happened.Before it could lay it’s claws on the poor animal, a growl was heard nearby and a grey wolf jumped out of the swiped the bat away with it’s claw. The bat landed roughly against a tree bark and quickly regained it’s balance, flying to perch on the branch a
