Dark tree trunks, shadows, overhanging limbs across the path seen at the last second, clumps of bushes, barely visible black trails snaking through the undergrowth. The moon shone through a lattice of leaves, patchy sky and stars seen in glimpses through tree breaks, tall shadowed pines stretching up like arrows into the sky, streaks of cloud against the earth, Wind slipping through leaves, cracking undergrowth with each step, creaking tree trunks, the flutter of wings unseen, snapping twigs, grass. Heavy pants could be heard through this dangy wood as a man could be seen covered in blood while holding a little child in his arms. His torn outfit, bruised face, dangling hair could tell he was escaping. His feet never gave a halt to the impending danger behind him as surviving from his raging foes was all that matter. He curdled this petrified child tightly, groaned in pains and tottered deeper into the woods. His only energy was the child he vowed to keep alive despite the pains and

Gerald smiled and began a speech by saying it was an honor to be seated with kings and queens of the upper hands. He had only seen them in TV and they look cute in real life. Furthermore, he praised them a bit to lighten up the mood mostly the ruthless looking emperor who let out a sided smile at the young man's adornment. Grace was troubled that he wouldn't win her father but it seems like he would because the emperor loved praises. The only people who were against them were her brothers. Gerald had to lie about the companies he had and awards won as a distinguish businessman. The emperor went further to ask how much his assets worth and Stacy answered that on his behalf. The only man was someone who loved proof and couldn't be bought easily. The prepared grace had that with her which left Gerald stunned. The emperor was impressed by that as only a wealthy man, posed and perfect could be accepted to the family as though his were perfect because from Ryan's observation, this family

His heart skipped as his hands trembles.Blood trickles down his face which made him flinches.His hands were trembling and he could barely stand erect. Void of thoughts, all he sees was death.Paused at a place, He could hear their whispers loud. Rolling his eyes, he found his father staring from the glassy wall.The heart rate machine beeps so loudly that it could explode the walls.His father shut his eyes and walked away."Henry Wales, died 12:00pm" a feminine voice sadly echoes. She was nurse Nora and three more doctors including him was staring at the patient.They were all wearing their scrubs, nose mask and their equipments for surgery was still in their hands.What would they all say? Another life lost because of a doctor's carelessness? It was becoming unbearable.To worsen it, he keeps getting promoted, awarded, just because of his father's influence while those who dedicated their time and passi

Gerald woke up from that nightmare and realized he was still at the hospital. All he needed that moment was to leave and get drowned again, intending that he would return back to the future which he had corrupted.He also discovered that he was alone, hence, that could be an easy way for him to take his plight. Alex was pained however, nothing was more heartbreaking than leaving Natalie alone without rectifying his mistakes. However what was the need of returning when those he had hurt wished him death?That thought didn't click his mind, if everyone was against him, his Natalie would always be for him and he was fine by it.The young lad rose from the bed, pulled out the drip, leaped towards the door, opened it and peeped if perhaps anyone was there just not to stop him from escaping. It was tough sneaking out of the hospital unseen by family members, however, he succeeded. He was still confused though at how friendly and welcoming his family who disliked him so much had become over
