Doris waited a bit lot anticipating her husband's return, and slowly, the feeling of worry began to creep into her mind. What if something bad had happened? Will he be alright? Would she end up being all alone as her series of nightmares had painted? Series of disturbing question, and neither of them seemed easy to reply. What what worst was the feeling of confusion. Being left in the dark was such a scary feeling for one to feel. She remembered the words of her aunt; Fear is natural and there to keep you alive and happy, yet where it has been weaponised and fashioned into a cage, one is honour bound to break free.How could she not be afraid? After all the series of nightmares she had seen for the past week, and especially the one she had that particular morning. Soon, she began to call. Twenty calls later and Nathan was still out of reach... No reply. "Fuck. Nathan, are you okay?" She muttered to herself, then realized that her husband was probably doing alright. "Yea Doris, do

Kevin was not high, not low, just a happy feeling that was a bit elevated.His good mood wasn't bright sun, yet the kind of rays that awakened the colors of the day at dawn. It was a soft happy vibe, gentle and steady.Who wouldn't be? With his mother finally soon to be discharged from the hospital, he couldn't be any happy! He was walking on about his normal day on his way to work, until he received the phone call. A young lady had been meaning to see him, from the company where they had bought his art. Kevin had been desperate, and so, because he needed the money, he risked his identity from secrecy. It was true that he could draw. He could make art like no other person else. He was talented, no doubt about that. But his mother's words still resided in his head,"we have to protect ourselves. And to do that, your identity must be kept secret." When he had asked what she meant, she explained to him that she had been born into a ruthless family and that she was put into a coma becau

"Alright then, I will be sure to contact you later," Manuel said on the phone to a business partner. "Alright then. Thank you very much." Then he hung up. Drawing a heavy sigh, he threw the phone across the bed and bloodshot red eyes stared into nothingness. He was cooking up a new plan, a selfish one at that. Evelyn could always tell. "Is everything okay?" She decided to ask, even when she knew clearly that he wouldn't even give much of an audience to her. Manuel had been acting strange for some time now. It was true that he got accepted as a member of the Dragons not too long ago, barely two weeks ago. After all those long years of pleading. But that was certainly not enough reason for him to have grown cold to her and everyone around. It was certainly not a reason to act cold at all to her. She had stood by his side all those weeks now, and what was he rewarding her with? Silence and awkward behaviors.Manuel stared and nearly jumped out of his skin. "You're still here?" He asked

For the next few days, Nathan and to remain with the young lady beside him who called herself Doris. What interested him the more was the fact that she called herself his wife.He had been married?"Thanks for always being here with me," he said calmly to her, and she smiled in return."Anything." Doris said to him, then returned to the files of documents she had been filling.She had mentioned that they were files for his discharge. Of course he hadn't thought about it, but he would have to leave with her if truly she had been his wife! A feeling of uneasiness began to settle in his stomach.She smiled so calmly and when she spoke, she ordered the aura of confidence around. She was exactly the type of person he would be drawn to, he couldn't argue that much."So I get to leave here today?" Nathan asked, feeling bad for having to disturb her with his redundant question. The young lady replied him nonetheless. "Yes Nathan, we get to leave today." her eyes lit up in excitement, and for

"What are you talking about mother, father?" Owen asked again, stepping further closer. They were only staring like they'd just seen a ghost. "Why isn't any one of you talking?" Evelyn suddenly thought of what to do next. Then she acted like the normal way she would whenever she was being just herself. "What are you doing here, shouldn't you be at your sister's?" She frowned.Owen wasn't buying her lies. "Answer me first." He demanded. "What were you busy talking about?" Thomas stepped forward. "Well it must be none of your business then, don't you think?" Evelyn frowned. "Oh come on now, Thomas. No need to act all formal. We were discussing nothing serious, Owen. Really." She said, a fake smile following. "Now hurry up and be by your sister side, okay?" Owen gave them one last glare before turning to the direction of his room. He knew they were up to something and it must be something no good. He couldn't find out just yet, but sooner or later, he would their secret. At the mom
