"Your precious son raped my sister!" Noah said angrily.Master Bernard blinked his wolfish eyes. He seemed amused. "Is that why you're disturbing my work?" he asked playfully.Noah could not believe his ears.This man was making fun of the situation. This made him even angrier and his muscles tensed as he fought the urge to charge at the master."You should be happy that my son fancied your sister." It's her honour to serve our noble bloodline. Noah clenched his fists as his teeth clattered in rage, while Lilian tried her best to hold him back. "It's okay, it's okay" she recited as though it was a mantra. Noah wasn't sure if she was telling him or if she was trying to convince herself."Please let's just leave..." Her voice cracked as she said the words. Something about her tone made Noah to calm down."If you have nothing to say then leave my office. You should be punished for bringing this kind of trivial issue before me. the servants these days are so bold." Master Bernard said.

Noah took to his heels as the monsters chased after him. He didn't want to end up like that person they were just feeding on. Besides, he still had to avenge his sister's death, so he kept running even though it felt as if the mobsters were already catching up with him. He couldn't see very clearly because of the fog and didn't notice the log on the floor and ended up tripping on it. He hit his head hard on a nearby stone as he landed on the floor.He lay on the floor as he felt dizzy and watched as the monsters caught up with himHe held his head as he groaned in pain. He was already feeling very dizzy by now and could not continue running again. He saw the monsters staring curiously at him as he felt his eyes close and finally gave in to the darkness.**********************Noah let out a groan as he sat up. He opened his eyes and saw a strange girl around his age sitting next to him. He had no idea who this person was and was startled, so he instinctively threw a punch immediately

The sun woke Noah up the next morning. The others were nowhere to be seen but Gemma seemed to be packing up her stuff. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty" she said jokingly. The others will be back soon. "We'll soon set off but before that, how about I give you a tour." She said with a smile.The two left the camp and headed to the nearby woods. The woods seemed scary because it was too quiet. There were no singing birds or rustling leaves and there were no sounds from small animals either. It was dead silent. The both of them headed deeper before finally arriving at a river. The river was crystal clear and cool. Gemma pulled off her boots and socks and then put her feet in the water. Noah followed her lead and did the same."This is my favorite place in the world. It's so beautiful even though there isn't much beauty in what the world has become." Gemma said.Looking at the river brought back memories of his sister. They often played in the water together when they were younger. Lili

The man appeared in front of Noah as soon as he ran."Stay away from me!" He yelled and ran in another direction but the man appeared in front of him again. Noah was already getting annoyed by now and wished the man would stop appearing and disappearing in front of him."Can you stop doing that?" Noah said to the man in annoyance."Calm down" He said to Noah calmly but Noah wasn't ready to listen and ran in another direction again."I can help you, Noah. Just come with me and I'll teach you how to use your abilities." He said to Noah as he appeared in front of him again.Noah was shocked when he heard this because he didn't know he had an ability. All he knew was that he had this strange mark on his neck. He didn't know why or how he got the mark. All he knew was that he had a strange mark on his neck."What's my ability?" He asked the man as he suddenly calmed down to hear the man out.The man laughed as soon as the words left Noah's mouth. Noah just stared at him in confusion becaus

Noah made his way over to the group in a daze. His hunger scared him and he was scared that one day he would be unable to control himself and he would do something unforgivable. He finally joined the group. Very soon, Crane started up a conversation with him and it was as if nothing had changed however, Noah knew that everything had changed. For one , he was now a monster. He sighed and decided not to dwell on the negatives. Noah soon noticed that Gemma was unusually quiet. This was very unlike her. she would normally be chatting and laughing with everyone. Crane explained to him that it was because they were getting close to where Gemma used to live. Villages and cities outside of the divine pockets were never safe. They could be celebrating today and be dead tomorrow. This was because they did not have a barrier to protect them from the monsters so they were always at risk of a monster attack. The group quieted down as they approached the ruins of a village. The village showed s
