Dorian didn’t crash the car.How could he crash the car? This wasn’t even his own car! This was Dave’s.Dave would still need to sell this car if he wanted to raise enough money to start school with and how would he do that if the person he gave the car to for the day crashed it?Connor would never trust him again. Dave would never trust him again. The two people he had spent such a fun time with yesterday would barely look at him again and was that what he really wanted? To become a loner because his crazy system wouldn’t make him trustworthy around a car?Dorian turned to look at the car and asked, “I’m not crashing the car. Is there a second option?”The system refused to give him a reply, so Dorian gritted his teeth and decided he would do nothing.Yeah, he would do nothing about the people who were following him and trying to track him. He would do nothing about the fact that his and the system’s life could very well be in danger right now. He would do nothing because the system

Dorian frowned as he stared at the time go by on his watch. The letter he opened wasn’t from his father. It had been from the police station.His father had sent him a warrant, or something that he didn’t really know the name to. The basis of it was that he would be arrested if he didn’t come back home. The old man had given him 24 hours to come back, crawling on his knees, or he would be thrown in jail for the rest of his life.“Is he even allowed to do that?”Dorian let out a depressed sigh as he nodded. “The neighborhood police are in his pockets. He can do anything he wants and no one will say a thing. I’m sure he has some cubicle he’s planning to put me in at the back of the house.I don’t know why he hates me so much.”Connor was on the phone with him and Dorian felt thankful for that. The fact that he had someone who could be with him during these times felt… soothing a bit. This was nothing compared to some of the things he knew his father could really do.“How come he’s neve

The sky was dark and the road was busy.People were walking to and fro and the city was bustling as always.Dorian walked beside ordinary people with his hands in his pocket as always. People looked at him and he looked back at them, they smiled at him and he smiled back.He had managed to do something about his clothes and he didn’t look as shoddy as he always looked. He looked like any normal young person on their way to have some drinks or just to take a stroll in the parks of the city.Strolls were popular among the inhabitants of the city, especially night strolls where they could watch the sky and the stars, and just engage in mundane and happy things.Dorian felt something sharp sting his heart because he didn’t think he’d ever had the chance to enjoy the normal life he once had.It wasn’t even a normal life, it was a miserable life, and right now he wasn’t enjoying a leisurely stroll, he was doing his best to ensure his cursed existence didn’t become even more cursed.~Have yo

“How did you..”Dorian found himself unable to finish his sentence because Connor threw the pendant at him briskly. He had to stop speaking and catch it, and when he had finally caught it he finished his statement.“How did you get this? I’ve… been looking everywhere for it.”Dorian found himself hesitant to tell Connor that he had found his apartment mugged because the place was already bad enough as it was. The building looked old and dilapidated, it was bad enough without Connor knowing,“Someone probably stole it from you.”Dorian felt his breath get stuck in his throat but he didn’t show any indication of it, he simply looked away to stare at something else as Connor continued, explaining almost patiently.“I visit these ... places where I can find rare things, and I found this there.It was being held by a man who said he wanted nothing to do with it now. He was acting pretty crazy when I met him.”Dorian stared at Connor while he went through all the explanations, all the whi

The man who had been trailing Dorian stepped into the bar and Dorian felt a mix of emotions go through him.This was someone who had managed to spook him in the matter of a single day. Even the blacktips hadn’t been able to do that, and as usual, the man didn’t speak to him, didn’t even approach him, he simply walked over to one of the stools in the bar and he took a seat, casually ordering a drink and flashing a glance in he and Connor’s direction.Dorian felt that glance send a chill down his spine.“He doesn’t look like someone who would stalk, Dorian.”Connor’s voice seemed to echo in Dorian’s mind as he heard it.Dorian took one swig of his drink as he rattled off his reply, “He was waiting at the entrance to my house when you left. I don’t think you might have seen him but you could have, he was there. He was also at the store when I went to purchase some hair dye. He was also waiting in my backyard when I went to burn the package for the hair dye.He was at the gate this morn
