"I think I'll drive you all to your homes personally," Smith said as he put away his note and pen. After taking their statements he felt a great pump within himself as he was going to solve another mysterious case spanning several decades ago. But there was something else that bothered him apart from the terrifying event. The other four students had seen Daniel's transformation. How was he going to make them shut up about what they saw?Pan on the other hand wasn't the least bit bothered about the other students knowing that Daniel was a Lycanthrope. Instead he was busy sizing up Orpheus and Selene casually, taking interest to their red eyes and hairs instead of their gorgeous looks. He didn't know why but his body spasmed momentarily when the boy turned to look at him. This almost made him lose his cool because he knew what that meant.He poses a great danger to me, Pan thought within himself. So that means he should be a Path two Cursed...Red hairs, red eyes and gorgeous looks, he n
That morning Pan drove the students to their various residences alongside Smith. They explained that Miss Pinmaker was involved in a human trafficking business and had successfully sold the other ten students people with unknown motives; only five students survived and Miss Pinmaker was nowhere to be seen.Felicia was the first to be sent to her residence followed by Samson and then Orpheus and Selene. Daniel was the last."I feel you two are ganging up to make life miserable for me," Daniel said. He didn't want to be insulted by Smith again.Smith smiled as he said, "Easy Dan. You're not the only person in this world with a low IQ. There are others as well.""Yeah," Daniel muttered. "Give me some hope."Pan chuckled where he was as he pulled over Daniel's residence, "There you go fella.""No one's at home," Daniel said as he patted Caroline. He had relied on his acute hearing to know that. There was not a single heartbeat coming from the house."Your mom seems to be busier than us,"
Daniel watched as Jackson approached him, his face showing no hint of fear. He was the killer of Jackson's father so he was very guilty. When then should he be afraid of revenge?Jackson clenched his right fist and punched it towards Daniel's face. He didn't care about anything now except taking revenge for his father who had been murdered by this Lycanthrope.Daniel didn't move as he allowed the punch to hit his face, blood spraying out of his mouth. He staggered backwards several times before stopping. Inasmuch he had been filled with guilt about killing Mr. Eden he couldn't help but feel shocked at the kind of strength Jackson displayed. How the hell was he able to punch him without cracking all his knuckles at least? He wasn't even supposed to stagger backwards or feel any pain!This isn't the ability of a Impersonal, Smith immediately turned vigilant as his blue eyes narrowed. Although Doppelgangers really showed powerful abilities in higher Cursed Paths, they weren't know for ha
That noon Daniel sat in the sitting room, his eyes glued on the television. There was a news currently showing and the headlines read: School Principal and Ten Students vanish Without Trace."...they were on an excursion to a haunted house and ten were captured by Miss Pinmaker who has been confirmed to be a human trafficker. Only five students managed to escape and were rescued by the cops," the female newscaster said."Interesting," Daniel said as he patted Caroline. "The Police sure knows how to handle things, adjusting the details. So this is how they've been doing for decades now."Caroline raised her head to look at Daniel before purring in complaint. Daniel had to stop patting her and allow her to watch the news in peace."The parents of the students are so aggrieved and demand that the 'wicked' school be shut down. The teachers and students are placed in a vulnerable state as the best school in the city is about to be shut down," the female newscaster continued as she brushed
The next day was Wednesday and Daniel was up very early in the morning to log in facebook around 5:30am. The last time he connected with his friends on Curious Mythologists group chat was on Monday when he was going for the excursion.The day was still dark and the atmosphere cold and damp. Cold wind slapped gently against the glass window from the outside, causing the surface to be wetted."Meow," Caroline complained as she sank deep into the bedspread, leaving Daniel who was seated on the bed. A large bulge appeared in the bedspread, causing Daniel to shiver involuntarily."Why is she so big?" Daniel thought as he sent the first message. Only Crimson Moon and Crying God were active."Hi, big guy!" Crying God typed. "You survived!🐈"Daniel had told them about the strangeness of the excursion earlier and had asked for their advices on how to tackle the matter. He would have updated them with everything that happened but there had been no reception at the haunted house."It's a miracl
Again the whole place became silent as if nobody apart from Daniel existed there. He could even hear his own heartbeat echo across the whole place before being drowned in the chasm before him, brought to surceasance.Daniel counted his heartbeat as he waited for Abyss to reveal everything he needed to know. While waiting he was also very vigilant, his entire senses working seriously to look out for any portentous threat.One thousand, Daniel almost frowned after counting up to this number. What was Abyss waiting for? Or was he trying to use him as a vessel?Having that thought he couldn't help but feel alarmed as he moved further from the chasm again. He couldn't be too careful with someone who proclaimed that he existed solely for absorbing the cosmos."Hahahaha!" a deep laughter echoed through the surrounding, causing the bloody sky to thicken. The bloody fogs around seemed to condense the bloods became coagulated. The smell of decay permeated the whole place, causing it to be fille
The sun peeked through the clouds which spread like draperies in the sky, smiling down at the earth vigorously. Birds could be heard chirping as they flew around, preparing for a new day—another busy day.Daniel wouldn't have woken up but he had to. Getting up lazily from his bed he yawned loudly before stretching himself like a cat."I don't know why but I feel I'm becoming lazy these days," Daniel muttered to himself as he stared at the cat which was sound asleep on his bed, "and quite chatty too."The incident earlier was imprinted deeply in his mind. He had seen Caroline devour the rat and had also sensed her malicious intent. He didn't know why but he felt he was in danger anytime he was around Caroline since they left the haunted house. It had never been so.Evil Buddha should reply to the question so I can get a lot of information from him, Daniel thought. I don't know why but I think he should be suited for a Wizard instead of a Doppelganger. He's got a whole lotta information
"Never thought Daniel would be a Lycanthrope," Orpheus shared his thoughts with Felicia who was seated beside him at the back of his car. This was her first day visiting his house and he took it upon himself to look after her safety. Of course her private bodyguard Owen had argued vehemently against it. Even when Felicia asked the other bodyguards not to follow them, Owen had stood his ground. Finally he had been allowed to follow them and he sat at the front near the driver who had a very pale expression."I never knew too," Felicia replied. "I mean we've known each other for over a month now and he's successfully hidden that identity away from me. I mean, he didn't trust me?""Well, I dunno," Orpheus said as he turned to look at Felicia. "There are some secrets that shouldn't be told even to the most trusted person you have."Felicia's blue eyes lingered on Orpheus for some moments before she opened her mouth to ask, "You can keep a secret from me?"You don't expect me to tell you t
