Chapter 21: Underground Tunnel.
Ana tore her gaze away from the monsters outside as her grip on her bag handle tightened. She glanced at Nova, and the latter nodded, patting Natalie on the shoulder as they took large steps towards the door.If only Ana had spare time, she would have checked out the quality of wood the door was made of, for the surface was rough and dusty. They weren't going to stay here long so there was no need to bother about a dusty old door.Elias and Ana made a team, and Nova and Natalie made another with Lucas as their guard.As Elias gripped the door handle, Carson didn't forget to say. "Be careful.""We will," Ana answered, giving him a long look before she glimpsed at Christopher. She beckoned Spiky over, ignoring the worried look plastered on Christopher's look."You…" Before he could make a full sentence, Elias had gently flung the door open and Ana just picked Spiky up as she made her way out of the room.Elias immediately followed by her side, surveying the area while Nova and Natalie e

Chapter 22: Where Is Spiky?
"Enough. Let's get out of here." Elias said, glaring at Lucas. He stared at Lucas for a while before turning away and marching forward to the entrance. They had only gotten to the entrance when they heard faint sounds."What's that?" Natalie asked, frightened. Ana listened for a while and then said. "Quick. Everyone into the tunnel."They dashed out of the mart, and from their right side, Ana could see a faint shadow of a tiny ball. She didn't even bother to look twice, she immediately went to the tunnel, took off the cover and pushed them inside. She was the last to enter but before she closed the tunnel, she gave that vague shadow a last peek before closing the lid.Inside, Elias asked. "What was that?" Ana had been the only one who saw what it was so she was the right person to ask."Shh!" She signalled as she raised a finger to her lips. Everyone hurriedly clamoured up. The sound was getting closer and clearer. When it sounded a few distances away from the tunnel, everyone knew in

Chapter 23: A Tale.
"If you say so." Carson patted his shoulder as he walked back to his spot in the room, ignoring the rest.Meanwhile, Nova was still adamant in following Ana as she argued her point. "I can really protect you." She repeated."I'm strong enough to keep myself safe, remember?" Ana lifted a brow, smiling.Nova opened her mouth, attempting to speak when Ana interrupted, cutting off her last resort. "Plus, I'm stronger than Lucas.""Fine," Nova gave up, flinging her arms up in defeat. "Do whatever you want but I want you and Spiky to return safely, can you do that?" She took Ana's hands in hers and looked directly into Ana's dark eyes. She could obviously see her reflection through Ana's dark orbs, pretending to be calm when she was worried.Knowing how easily worried Nova could be, Ana assured her until Nova was finally willing to let Ana go."Alright. Let's go." Ana said as she faced Christopher. She was shaken at the thought of going back outside, especially with someone whom she doesn't

Chapter 24: Will They Be Okay?
Back at the building, Nova wouldn’t stop pacing and Elias had gotten dizzy from watching her.“It’s enough already.” He said as he rose to his feet. He added, "They will be fine."“How sure are you?" She snapped, her last bit of restraint broken. "What do you think will happen to Ana when she's with a stranger?" Looking at her, Elias felt that her round adorable pair of eyes wasn't adorable anymore, it was scary and alarming to look at that he dropped his head slightly."Are you worried about their safety? Or are you worried about Ana being with Christopher?"Nova turned around, away from Elias as she faced Natalie with a questioning gaze. "What did you just say?!"Natalie boldly walked over, “I said, are you worried about their safety or you’re just worried about Ana?” Natalie said, placing her fingers before her face as she blocked away Nova’s glaring look. She was so focused on her fingers that she didn’t notice Nova’s lips twitching in rage.Inhaling and exhaling, Nova finally spo
