*** Still in the white van beside the chapel ***The executor's POV~I had waited out here for over half an hour. What in the world was she doing in there? I didn't have all day. I still needed to plan on how to get in touch with the lady from before. My eyes were kinda sleepy at this point. I had smoked almost ten cigarettes and I was starting to feel it's effect already. "What's taking her so long?" I muttered as I took a look at my watch to check the time. It was almost seven o'clock. How long did she plan on staying in there? Was she about to hold a night vigil or something? I didn't really take her to be a Christian. Well, at least she didn't give off the vibe of one. Clearly frustrated at this point, I contemplated just walking into the church and doing what needed to be done. I wasn't particularly religious, (in fact, I was more of an atheist) so I didn't really mind doing my job even it was gonna be inside the church. Just as I was about taking a decision, I suddenly saw her

*** At the executor's apartment *** It's morning already and rays of the morning sun sparsely penetrate the apartment, since all the curtains are closed. The executor seems to have been awake for quite a while. He gets off the bed lazily and heads to one of the windows to open the curtains and let some light in. The light illuminating the room quickly does a good job of exposing just how untidy his apartment is. He stares at it for a while and shakes his head bet heading to the kitchen counter............The executor's POV~Getting to the counter, there was some leftover beer....just the thing I needed. I flicked a tiny cockroach off the mouth of the bottle before gulping down the content."Ahhhh" I exhaled as I wiped off the beer from my mouth with my forearm. I didn't quite feel like myself this morning. The thoughts of what had happened last night kept on flashing through my mind. I had to do something about it. "I have to go see her at the hospital" I muttered as I took the deci

In Xander's hospital room, his body can be seen laying lifeless on the bed. It seems as though all is normal but in reality Xander is in a fierce internal battle. He is sweating profusely despite the blasting air-conditioner. What could possibly be going on? Xander's POV~Why in the world am I still stuck in this darkness? This was torture at it's peak. Nothing but absolute darkness. I couldn't move my body nor I could see anything. I couldn't even so much as imagine anything. It was like I was trapped in this heavy darkness, drifting through it like a bodiless consciousness. What could be more frustrating? Worse still was the fact that I could still hear everything. How that bastard David poisoned me, how the guards kept on gossiping about how relieved they were that someone else was going to be Alpha for a change, even how that bitch, my mom, was planning to get married to that jerk David! Everyone seemed to be acting like I was dead or something. How long was this ordeal goi

*** Still in the Astral plane *** Xander and his dad arrive at the edge of the cliff and stare at a splendid castle seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Xander is quite shocked at the sight of such a grand edifice in such an unlikely place. It has a medieval look to it, almost gothic actually. It is surrounded by a huge fence with lots of evenly spaced undead archers on top of the wall. Around the castle is a large moat teeming with large crocodiles. Where exactly is this?Xander's POV~"Screech! Screech!" The vultures circling us overhead screech as they search for carrion, which funny enough is still a rare sight in this wasteland. They look even more sinister when seen against the lifeless grey sky as a background."Alright, there it is boy. The place I'm taking you" Dad said as he halted at the edge of the cliff, as the wind ruffled his long white hair and beard. I paused almost as quickly as he did and was shocked at the magnificent sight. "Whoa!" I exclaimed in my m

*** Desert, Astral Plane *** After over an hour, Xander and his dad finally arrive at the castle. It's clear from Xander's eyes that he is extremely dehydrated and exhausted. His eyes stare lifelessly at the huge castle in front of them. Meanwhile, his Dad looks just as good as normal, totally unfazed by the daunting journey.....Xander's POV~Finally, we were here. I honestly had lost any traces of excitement at this point. I just wanted water and probably some rest. Just what kind of punishment was this? I needed to get the hell out of this hell!"Come on, wake the hell up" I muttered weakly as I pinched myself quite a couple of times. I wanted to wake up so bad. Even being in the abysmal darkness of unconsciousness was far better than being here. This place was literally worse than hell. "We here boy" dad said as the dumb mole-camel came to a halt. I absolutely hated this creature simply because of it's lack of drive. It was neither fazed by the intense heat nor cared
