Hunters: Rise of a Dragon Demon 14. Ready to meet family
For a minute, Kevin was dumbstruck by the wonderful sight of the living room. The interior was more beautiful than the exterior. The first thing he felt was the cool air from the air conditioner. Then his eyes fixated on the grandiose sparkling chandelier and colorful bulbs on the clean white ceiling. The floor was tiled with marble that glimmered as it reflected light. If he had known they had such a beautiful floor he would have walked in barefooted to avoid staining it.Gray couches of different sizes arranged in a square order without one side, furnished the living room. A center table made out of glass and brown clean wood stood at the center of the square. It had a little flower vase on it. On the wall facing the couch, a big television that nearly occupied the whole of the wall was stationed, connected to circuits. But it was switched off at the moment. In a corner of the house was a bar with a large refrigerator with a transparent door. Kevin could see varieties of wines, bee
Hunters: Rise of a Dragon Demon 15. Family
The chairs of the dining table were occupied by the children of the Jones family. Some were teens while the others were tweens and kids. The dominant hair color of the people was brown while some others had black or blond hair. They all stared at Kevin as he descended the stairs with Finn. Kevin could feel a lump in his throat, feeling uneasy with the stares. Different negative thoughts ran through his mind. Will they like him? What if they don't? They kept their eyes glued to Kevin until he reached the table. His hands felt clammy. "Would you guys stop staring? It's creepy." Finn glared at them, sensing Kevin's nervousness. "Having one of you around is a problem already. Now there are two of you? I'm gonna go crazy." A mischievous-looking boy commented. He must be the same age as Kevin."Yeah, watch out Connor. You are gonna go insane." Finn conceded.The boy rolled his eyes. "Ignore him." Finn wavered his hand. "Anyway Kevin. These are the children of the Jones family. I'll intr

"Hey dear." The woman walked in and sat next to Kevin. "Sorry to disrupt your fun time but I have to make sure they always do their homework." Kevin nodded. "I understand.""In case you are wondering, I'm Gwen, Finn's mother." "Hmm. Explains why you like Arianna." She laughed softly. "You inherited Noah's look so much. People will think you and Finn are twin brothers. I just hope I won't mix up the both of you." Kevin chuckled. "Are you settling fine here?" "Yes. Everyone has been nice to me. I like it here." "Glad to hear that. Sorry again for ruining your fun." "It's okay." "If you say so. I have to go now. Have fun." She stood up and left Kevin alone in the game room.***"Hey cous." Finn announced his presence as he entered Kevin's room. Kevin, who had just stepped out from the game room after playing till he was tired, lifted his head. "You done with your homework?" He nodded and sat on his bed. "I don't have much homework today. Lucky me." There was a brief silence b
Hunters: Rise of a Dragon Demon 17. Father's death
The floor felt cold and the scent of kerosene lingered in the atmosphere. Kevin opened his eyes and stood up to take a look around. He was in a small room with only one wooden door. The walls were brown, bare and had lots of cracks on them. The floor was made out of concrete which explains why it was cold. He traced the smell of the kerosene and saw that it was coming from a lantern on a small wooden table. Four old brown couches surrounded the table. The lantern was the only thing providing light as it was dark outside. Someone was sitting on one of the couches wearing a black gown. Kevin walked closer to the person. He contemplated before saying. "Hello." His voice echoed in the room but it seems the person couldn't hear because she didn't look up. Kevin went closer and discovered it was a woman. Due to the dim light, he couldn't see her face clearly but she looked familiar. She held a sleeping baby wrapped in a shawl on her arm. Kevin was still trying to see her face clearly wh

"Is he going to be alright? He has been unconscious for an hour now." "He will be fine. Nothing bad happened to him. He just lost a lot of energy. Quit worrying Dad."The voices were indistinct but Kevin could make out what they were saying as he awakened. Everything was blurry at first but with time, it came piece by piece until the room became clear. He was on bed in a room that looked like a hospital ward. It had almost everything that a hospital ward needed. Just like the hospital in the Hunters Base. By the brown door, Leo talked with a young man who had his back faced to him. He was in a lab coat with a stethoscope hung around his neck."Oh, he's awake." Leo said as he saw Kevin sit up. The other guy turned and walked to the bed. "How are you feeling?" "A bit weak. How long was I out?" "An hour.""An hour?" "Since you aren't used to your ability, your body is still... adjusting. Abilities take energy to act up and let's just say your body is...lacking in sufficient energy

"OMG! Kev. Wow." Darrin exclaimed, gazing at the devices inside the box. Inside the box were two laptops, three phones, two tablets, and three headphones."Kevin, do you realize all of these gadgets are the latest version?" Darrin noted."Oh my. You are right." Kevin took one phone and examined it. "I'm gonna kiss my uncle's foot whenever I see him again. This is... wonderful.""Awn. I'm jealous." Darrin pouted. "Hey don't be. Here have one." Kevin took one phone and handed it to Darrin. Darrin gawked. "Um...I didn't really mean I'm jealous...""Oh, if you insist I'll keep the phone." "I never said I didn't want it." Darrin quickly snatched the phone from him and Kevin laughed. "Oh, I see you have been given your Welcome Home present." Finn's voice sounded in the room and they turned to look at him at the door. "It was my idea." Finn added as he walked in. "Really? Thanks." "I would have come sooner if I didn't see my elder brother. I had no idea he was at home. Oh, have you se
Hunters: Rise of a Dragon Demon 20. Comforting a mother
Kevin was shocked seeing his mother in tears. The mother that took care and nurtured him alone for sixteen years. He had never seen her shed tears. "Mum, why are you crying?" He rushed to her."It's nothing." She tried to wipe her tears but more kept pouring out. "I'm fine." "You are obviously not fine. What is it?"She sniffled and said nothing. "Mum, it's okay." He gently wrapped his arms around her, hugging her. He was almost as tall as her so he didn't have to stretch. Lisa sobbed more in her son's embrace. "Your father died because of me." "What?" "If not for me, he wouldn't have run away from home with me to Texas. He would have never gone for that mission. He would still be alive." "Don't talk like that, mum. Dad loved you." Kevin said, breaking the hug. "Exactly." She sniffled. "His love for me made him do all of that. Maybe...if we just left each other then..." "Mum, stop." Kevin covered her mouth. "It wasn't your fault." "I don't know." Lisa said as Kevin slowly rem

"Ok, Kevin. The time has come for me to go. I hope you still remember all the advice I gave you. I won't be here to scold or protect you for about a month. So please be a good boy." Lisa advised and kissed her son's forehead. Two luggage stood beside her."Mum, I've told you before. I'm not a child anymore. I'll be fine." "No matter what you think, you are still my baby. I'll call you every day." "Thanks, mum." The two of them hugged themselves."I'll miss you so much." "I'll miss you too. Ok mum, if we continue with this further you'll miss your flight. Seriously, I'll be fine." Lisa left him and rubbed his cheek. "Lisa, you'll miss your plane. You have to go now." Leo reminded. "Don't worry, we'll take care of him. He's part of our family, ok?" "Thank you, Leo, for everything.""It's alright Lisa. Now go." "One last hug?" She pouted at Kevin. Kevin sighed. "Ok."He spread out his arms and wrapped it around her. "Goodbye, mum." "Goodbye. I'll call you when I arrive." They br
