Slave runner
Alina's pov I have no idea how long I lay beneath the planks of wood and heavy clay tiles of the crumpled breezeway. Looking back, I realize I must have lost consciousness, if only for a few minutes.All I can remember is something sharp hitting me on the head, and the next thing I knew, I’d opened my eyes to consummate blackness, and a feeling that I was being surpressed.A favorite trick of some poltergeists is to sit on their victim’s chest while he or she is just waking, so that the poor soul feels he or she is being suppressed, but can’t see why. I couldn’t see why, and for a second or two I thought I’d failed and that Hayley was still in this world, sitting on my chest, torturing me, getting her revenge for what I’d tried to do. Then I thought, Maybe I’m dead.I don’t know why. But it occurred to me. Maybe this was how being dead felt. At first, anyway. This must have been how it was for Heather when she woke up in her coffin. She must have felt the same way I did: trappe

The Greens
Alina's pov My phone pinged, it was a message and it read, "The Greens, 08:00 hours,I have something for you" It was from a stranger. I wasn't, of course, going to meet him. I mean, despite ample evidence to the contrary, I am not stupid.I have, in the past, met various people at various appointed times and found myself, hours later, either tied to a chair, thrust into a parallel dimension, forced to don one-piece swimsuits, or being otherwise cruelly mistreated. I was not going to meet Paul Slater after work. I was so not. And then I did anyway. Well, what else was I supposed to do? The lure was just too great. I mean, actual documented evidence about mediators? Something about people being able to take over other peoples bodies?All the nightmares about long, fog-enshrouded hallways in the world were not going to keep me from finding out the truth at last about what I was and what I could do.I had spent too many years wondering just that to allow an opportunity like this

Jon
Alina's pov "Hello beautiful" A voice greeted. I had decided to go to the Greens as the stranger kept sending messages to her. I felt the blood in my veins run cold.I knew that voice. Knew it only too well. The man who owned it had tried to kill me once.“It’s him,” I whispered. Unnecessarily, of course, since Jon obviously knew perfectly well who it was. Jon stood up and moved from the shadows that had cloaked his face. He wore an expression, I was relieved to see, of intense distrust. He was starting to believe me now.“Who’s there?” he called, lifting the lantern and turning a knob that brought what had been a tiny flame to a more powerful one.The man below said something in Spanish that I didn’t understand. Except for the last two words. And they were easy enough for even me to decipher.Felix Diego.This is it, I thought. There was no going back now.Jon said something in Spanish to Diego, who replied in tones that, though I could not understand the words he spoke, sounded

Felix Deigo
Eleanor's pov Diego. Felix Diego, the man who’d killed Jon, because Jon's fiancée, the heinous Maria, asked him to. She had wanted to marry Diego, a slave-runner and mercenary, rather than the man her father had picked out for her to marry, her cousin Jon.But Jon never made it to the wedding. That’s because he was killed on his way there. Killed by Felix Diego, though no one at the time knew that. His body was never found. People, Jesse’s own family, even assumed that he’d chosen to run away rather than marry a girl he didn’t love and who didn’t love him. Maria had gone on to marry Felix, and they’d produced a whole bunch of kids who later grew up to be murderers and thieves themselves.And, not too long ago, the pair of them had paid a little visit to me, at Paul’s behest. He’d met Diego’s ghost. In fact, Paul was the one who’d summoned him.Now Paul was going to stop Diego from killing Jesse… probably by killing Diego himself. It’s easy for shifters to kill people. All we have

You have to remember
*** *** ***Trish rushed into Jonas' apartment, darting furtive glances everywhere, making sure she wasn't being followed.She could crash at Jonas' place till she finds a solution to her predicament."What are you doing here?" Jonas asks her, muting the TV, "And why do you look like you are running away from someone?" "I'm in trouble." Trish breathed out, rushing to his side, "Big trouble."Jonas frowned at her, Trish was never the one to get in trouble, infact, she has never been in trouble. He studies her, her face was puffy, her eyes red and baggy, evidence of lack of sleep. Something was really wrong."I know you don't believe me, but I swear, it's more than you can imagine.""What's it?"",I tried selling off the headquarters since there was nothing special about it and it laid on ruins.""Okayyy...." Jonas frowned, not liking where her conversation was leading to.Trish blinked at him, taken aback, "huh... Are you not surprised or angry??"Jonas glared at her, trying to keep

Here for revenge
*** *** ***Ryan stared at Alina, she was obviously avoiding his gaze. Since she came back from the hospital, she refused to tell him what led to her accident.Ryan gave her a cup of coffee, taking one for himself too."I heard you know Olivia too.""Olivia?" Alina echoed, confused for a second."Yeah, Olivia.""I remember her. We worked together in my family's Media company.""You do know she's in prison right?""Prison for?""Killing a Doctor Thomas." Ryan replied, watching Alina. He didn't know if she was pretending or she was really clueless about what happened."Are you serious?""She killed someone?""Does she strike like someone that can do it?""No." Alina shook her head, "What's your deal anyway, how do you know her?"Ryan shrugged, "call it fate.""Oh..." Alina nods.

New revelation
*** *** ***Thomas open an eye first, then the second. The knife had impaled the wall, just one inch away from him.He sighs in relief and turns to confront Ryan bit finds the room was empty, it was almost as if a ghost had visited him. The knife was the only proof that someone was in the office with him.Barely minutes after he settled down and reduces the volume of the music playing, cops barged into his office, followed by the Head of Diagnosticians. "What's going on?" Thomas asks, a bit confused."As of this minute, your license is in the process of being revoked." The Head of Diagnosticians said, glaring at him. "You are the least person I was expecting this from." "And you are under arrest Mr Thomas Jnr." A cop finished.Thomas noticed how his title was ripped off him instantly. The cop should call him Doctor, not Mister."I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on!" Thomas yelled indignantly, "What did I do so wrong?""You are under arrest for threatening you
