“Luna…” Kaden scratched his head, contemplating whether or not to ask the question in his mind. “Ermm… How exactly did Gen get back home?” Kaden finally found the courage to ask as he moved to stand beside Eva, who stood in front of a large painting hanging on the broad wall before them. The room was poorly lit, making the painting blurred due to the shadow cast over it. But whatever was on the painting… it seemed essential to Eva as she stood ever so still in front of it, staring like it had some connection to her past. As if she was trying to decipher a hidden message. The longer she stared, the more her mind raced with memories and emotions that seemed to be triggered by the artwork.About three feet from them was Karla. Eva sighed, not missing the confusion in Kaden’s tone. “Honestly, I am also clueless about this matter. I have been trying to wrap my head around the fact that just as she showed up unconscious in her room, Monica lays dead in front of my car a few minutes later

“So here we are, the city park. What do you think about the place, Gen?” Eva asked with a huge smile as she rested both her fists on opposite sides of her waist. "I think it's absolutely stunning and it certainly is large," Gen replied, gazing at the picturesque scenery that surrounded them. "Also, the view is breathtaking, and the fresh air is so invigorating." She stayed silent momentarily and then asked, “But what exactly would we be doing here?”Eva placed her right thumb and index finger on her chin, looking around for signs of fun. As she rotated her head, she saw that the people there were either playing board games, tennis or volleyball. There were plenty of activities to choose from, which was a relief because this meant the girls wouldn’t get bored during their time here. Observing the area some more, she spotted a small wooden cottage standing at the far end of the park.Eva stared at the cabin briefly before s

“And where exactly have you been?” A male voice sounded as Ashley walked into her house, holding her bag and shoes in her hand.The room was dark and shadowy with only small glimmerings of red light hanging from the ceiling. The person the voice seemed to have come from was sitting on a long round couch in what appeared to be the living room.“How's that any of your business Dominic? I'm old enough to go out wherever I want,” Ashly replied a little irritated.  Dominic got up from the couch and let out a long sigh. “There have been recent sightings of Rouges around the hotel and in different parts of the city. My duty as your elder brother is to protect you from harm, but you're making it really hard for me by sneaking in and out of the house whenever you feel like it.” He continued, “I understand that you want to have fun and explore the city, but please be cautious and stay away from areas where Rouges have been spotted

“So, what is it you want to talk about?” Genova questioned as she trailed beside Noah towards the school gates. “Nothing much. I only want the chance to know and be close to you.” Noah placed his arms behind his back. “I am just being a good pupil wanting to introduce myself and officially welcome our school’s brand-new addition.”“But I've been here for a few weeks now; I’m not so brand new anymore,” Genova rolled her eyes, intentionally trying to make things difficult for the dude.“Trust me, Lady, this school has much more to it than that which meets the eye.” Noah grinned.Genova’s lips formed a thin line, pondering his words as they walked toward the car parked outside the gate. “Not bad,” she complimented as soon as she spotted Noah’s black Dodge Viper.  “Thanks! Fan of cars I see.” “You could say that agai

~SIX YEARS AGO~“State your business here or so help me, Goddess!” Eva snarled. Her battle teeth elongated as thick fur started to replace her once smooth skin. “Hahahaha...” A cloaked figure standing in front of her laughed and slowly raised her left index finger toward her. “I've only come to pass a warning, child, for only through you will this world become what it is meant to be...” The cloaked figure said."WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON ABOUT?" Eva scowled as a bolt of lightning struck the clouds, followed by a loud rumble of thunder.The cloaked figure laughed once more. "Those who dare to defy Fate's predetermined course. Fangs and claws will tear apart flesh from bone and soul from heart. Her path is paved with both joy and adversity. With loss and gain, through tears and smiles. And on the day she closes her eyes, death will be the end of the world."With that, the cloaked figure vanished into the darkness, leavi
