With the beeping sound of her alarm echoing through her room, the eyelashes of a young girl subtly trembled as her consciousness was starting to wake up from the dreamland. The noise of the rustles caused by her movements under her bed was one of the sounds that filled her room.
At the same time, her lips moved in mumble, while a certain vision within her dream had affected her in real life. Though her muttering was soft and faint, if one put their ears right beside her mouth, they would be able to hear her words clearly.
"Mmm… No more studies…"
Although the ringtone of her alarm was still ringing for a while, it seemed to not affect the
As the door of the bus opened, a young woman was getting out of the transport vehicle while she was looking around her surroundings and mindful of the people who were passing by to board the bus. The wide hat on top of her head was blocking the blinding light of the sunlight. At the same time, she could be seen to wear one piece of dress with a short skirt that reached out to almost her thighs.She was quite a beauty, that's for sure. Her smooth, silky long hair was striking to the opposite male who happened to see her. Although, it wouldn't be enough to make them fixated upon her figure, still, some man would take double glances to her to check out her womanly features.Even though it was rare for her to dress up like what sh
"Oh! This part is talking about the hierarchy in society. When the people still in the dark age and industrial revolution was at its peak, they were a lot of discontent and the crimes skyrocketed. It was truly a fascinating age!""I know right! Also, this one chapter is talking about the struggle of the woman's circle back in the olden days. The author compared it to the advanced industrial age. However, the status hasn't advanced by much for the commoner as sexist still deep rooted within people's minds."Merrily chatting together and discussing what they found in the book they read, the scene of Elizabeth smiling in excitement with Kevin could be seen by the nearby people. They have been talking nonstop about George J Northt
"There's… Nothing?"Looking at the man before her in disbelief, the young girl widened her eyes in shock as their thought of misheard what the person said quickly flashed in her mind. Trying to hide her nervousness, she asked once more to make sure of the other party's words."I'm sorry, but did you just say there's nothing in there?"The middle aged man who sat across the girl nodded slightly while his eyes were squinting in suspicion. Both of his arms crossed, he leaned his back to the chair and spoke calmly, "There's nothing in the place you've mentioned. Moreover, if it's an esper, we would be notified immediately by the inform
'Should I go to Ellie's place right now?'Recalling Aaron's words who said that he would visit her made Elizabeth wish to not get back to her own house. She feels like staying overnight somewhere else that's more secure and safe.'I mean, he said it should be today but he didn't state the specific time for it. Seeing the remaining time, it should be tonight, right?'It was almost evening time and Elizabeth was still walking around the street near her neighborhood. With the current distance, she would be able to just walk to her home, even though it would take forty minutes walking time at the very least. Yet, there's no way for her
Putting down her bag at the nearby table, Elizabeth dived into the soft, bouncy bed and let her tiredness be taken away slowly. Both of her legs feel a little sore after walking for that long. As she stared at the ceiling with a blank look for a while, Elizabeth then stretched out her body and yawned. Faintly smiling to herself, Elizabeth then cast her glance upon the bag on the table, with the image of a certain book coming to her mind. Rising up, Elizabeth strides to the chair and takes a seat in there. In the next second, she reached out her hand to her bag and took out a book that seemed to be a little thinner than the usual book she would read. Opening the book and seeing the first page in there, Elizabeth couldn't help but recall an image of a figure whose face and body were hidden behind a thick mist.
While pushing aside the unnecessary thoughts, Elizabeth continued to read the story. Slowly but surely, time passing by before she knew it. Previously, she had read through the chapter when she was at the public library. But back then, she skimmed most of the parts of the story in order to search for her strange symptoms. Now after the meeting with Aaron, this story made Elizabeth see it in a different light. When it was an hour later since she began to read the story, a soft rumble could be heard from her stomach. Even though Elizabeth had missed the noise it made, the gnawing feeling in her stomach has nagged her mind and caused her to be aware of it. Glancing to the clock on the wall, Elizabeth saw that it was already eight pm and already time for
"Are you trying to run away?"When those words escaped the young man's lips, the tip of Elisabeth's fingers shuddered for a second. Subconsciously, she moved that hand behind her and awkwardly smiled. Aaron's commanding tone gave her a surprise, but that didn't mean she had to act uncomfortable so as to not further provoke the young man."No! Not at all. There was an assignment from the college, about the hotel's rooms and stuff. So that's why…" answered Elizabeth while she shook her hand. At the same time, she thought, 'Assignment excuse… Even twelve year olds would notice such a lame excuse, urgh.'Surprisingly, the young man replaced his previous frown with a few innocent blinks. Then, his eyes wandered the room as he murmured, "I see&helli
While Aaron was sitting on the chair, Elizabeth settled on top of the bed as she observed Aaron's features more closely. The young man's pale complexion and that eye of his was still eye-catching in Elizabeth's view. But now, she just noticed another peculiar trait of the young man. Aaron… Didn't have a shadow. Whenever and wherever the young man moved or stood, there wouldn't be any shade of his figure. The moment she realized that fact, the notion of Aaron being only a holographic image crossed her mind. But that idea was quickly discarded, considering how real the person in front of her feels. Not to mention, she didn't think that the latest holographic technology would be so smooth as to project someone's image so naturally. "So…" shifting her eye
