Daniel woke up feeling very energized and positive. Why shouldn't he? He had been through several frenziedly situations, tiring himself out both mentally and physically. Now that he could finally find rest why shouldn't he be happy about that? Only a bunch of masochist would yearn for more harmful situations like that.Man, it's been such a hectic year, Daniel thought to himself as he yawned loudly as stretched his arms and legs. The shirt he was wearing rose up slightly above his tummy, revealing well chiseled abdominal muscles which could only belong to a pro gymnast."Finally, everything has returned normal," he muttered to himself and turned around only to lie face-to-face with Bloody Mary who was staring at him with her red eyes."..."Daniel became blank. Whatever had happened last night was gone and this was a new day. He couldn't count himself a lucky person today and try seeing the Specter as some lover. It was practically impractical and disregarding of a high born Specter!
After meal Mrs. Stark cleared the table and immediately rejoined her husband and child in the dining room. They had finished eaten but couldn't stand due to their stomachs being overly full so they sat on their chairs and waited for time to pass so that they would be able to get up again.Mr. Stark stared at his loving wife and son for some moments, wondering whether he should tell them what he had in his mind now or later. They should be able to understand me, won't they?"What's on your mind, Darling?" Mrs. Stark asked. She had noticed her husband's worried look. They had been out of all their troubles so what was there to fuss about?"Actually, I wanted to tell you this earlier," Mr. Stark said to them, "but I didn't know how to go about it."Don't tell me, Daniel thought inwardly as he glanced at his mother. Don't tell me he's gonna go on another adventure. This was exactly the same words he used last year when he went on the adventure to the Abyssal Zone. Now he's using those sam
I've never wanted this life for myself—this life filled with perils and evil. It's like a dream I can never escape from—a dream which I'm forever stuck in. Heh, no one ever wanted this life or ever wished for it. You'd be either insane or extremely evil to wish for this kind of life—the life where you don't have a choice over anything—the life where you're bound by your deepest desires.I never wanted to enter into the supernatural world. I never wanted to come across the Crimsones[1], Lycanthropes[2], demons and the rest. I never wanted to be involved in anything pertaining to the dark and supernatural world. I had always yearned for freedom and not servitude. But of course I was wrong all along. I had been delusional, thinking I'd be able to escape it all—to escape from fate. I never knew I would be pulled into this mess, becoming one of those dark creatures which roam about in the ungodly night. I never wanted to be a merciless predator who was also a prey to another predator (what
Ouch!So much pain!Am I dead?Daniel cracked his eyes open slowly as he groaned, taking in his environment. He immediately began shivering in fear after remembering what had happened, his pupils dilating as he saw himself still lying in the woods. He could see the brown glowing eyes of the Lycanthrope glaring at him, its claws ready to bear down on him."Don't kill me!" he yelled in fear as he broke down in fear. "Don't kill me!""It's okay," a feminine voice said, warm arms wrapping around him. Slowly he recovered from his trauma and didn't see the Lycanthrope anymore. He then realized that he was no longer in Crimson Woods but was in his own room. He realized that he was shivering at a corner on his bed, his mother's arms wrapped around him in a comforting manner. There were two cops standing in front of them, both dressed in starchy grey uniform."It's alright, son," Mrs. Stark, his mother said as she stared into his eyes with her brown comforting eyes. At one glance you would not
That morning Daniel woke up earlier than usual, his eyes puffy as if he had not had a good sleep. The truth was, he didn't actually have a good sleep throughout that night. Every time he slept he would have a nightmare, jolting up instantly in fright. He still remembered the incident from yesterday and it was plaguing his mind.Calm down, it's only a delusion, Daniel told himself as he stood up from bed in order to prepare himself for today. He was a 16-year old kid at Grade 10 in Crimson High School, the biggest school in that city. He was well-known to supercede his peers in the classroom. In the aspect of academics, he was considered excellent and very intelligent, always topping the class. He has also made a mark for being one of the most punctual students in his class so he had to maintain that image.He hurriedly tied a white towel around his waist and dashed to the bathroom to take a bath. In no time he was done with washing up and went to dress up. It was at this point he noti
After several minutes students began trooping into the class, filling the twenty seats. Those who came on their own silently made their ways to their chairs while those who came in groups chatted noisily as they giggled to take their seats. Everyone avoided Walter and his gang who were already seated at the far back of the class, their eyes fixed on Daniel as they awaited the coming of Felicia. They wanted to see if this idiot would dare foolishly act lovey-dovey with that girl.Daniel sat on his chair which was near the left wall of the class, the position of his chair standing between the front and back rows—he was among the people who sat on chairs arranged in the middle row. A novel was on his desk in front of him, his eyes looking in between the words written with a feigned interest. The book he was reading was a werewolf novel and it was titled: Werewolves. Although he loved reading novels like this, he was very much distracted and couldn't even read. He had to put up this act t
Around 11:45am, the bell rang for lunchtime. Students who had begun yawning due to hunger (and boredom) immediately trooped out of the class like ants without being told to do so. At least, this was the only thing they could do without being told to do.Daniel stared at Felicia, looking up from the novel he had been reading. He saw the hot noble girl wink at him with her left eye, a warm smile appearing on her face."I'm off to eat," Felicia told Daniel as she stood up. "Aren't you coming?""Uh, not right now," Daniel stammered. "I need to finish at least three chapters of this."Felicia stared at him for some moments before saying, "Never knew you were such a bookworm."She then walked out from her seat towards the door. As she reached the door, she added, "And a scaredy cat.""..."She saw through my timidness? Daniel was momentarily at loss. He had actually been afraid to go out with Felicia and it was because of two reasons. The first reason was because of her mean looking and dom
Orpheus walked along the dark street, his hands placed in his pockets. His pace was calm as if he owned the street and no thief would be able to turn up on him. He walked to a part of the street where street lights were lined, shining radiantly. The street lights illuminated his figure, exposing his looks and all.Orpheus was a tall and slim 16-year old with taut muscles that gave him the bearing of a perfect gymnast. His hair was as red as blood, curly and long that it rested on his shoulders. His eyes were also red, hypnotic in nature with the ability to compel everyone they stare out to submit onto him. His face was extremely gorgeous like a model's, having a hint of feminity in it. It was the kind of face one couldn't get off his mind even after hours. Moreover he had the demeanor of a noble child, calm and composed. Dressed in a red pyjamas and a pair of red flipflops, he looked like a casual person walking about in his bedroom.In reality his father, Luther Rodolfo was a well-kn
