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
"How are you doing fellas?" Kevin said to them, trying to act casual. ‘Don't act weak. It will attract bullies.’ Finn's words resounded in his ears. Seems like he was already attracting bullies."How come you didn't attend our school for so long? Finn never told us he had a twin brother." Their leader snickered after blowing a bubble. Kevin noticed that one of his upper incisor tooth was missing."We are not twin brothers."They laughed and he asked. "What are you then?" "None of your business."He snorted. "I'm Gabe by the way. These two guys behind me are Maverick and Chuck. We own this school. Everyone respects us and no one would want to get on our bad side. How about we become friends? We'll offer you protection, grant you popularity in this school and in return you will give us some goodies and cash. That shouldn't be a problem for you. After all, you are from that rich family of Jones." Gabe reminded Kevin of Scott. Well, at least he wasn't some demon seeking to destroy him.
After they entered the elevator, Celia tapped number two and pressed the green button, making the elevator move to the next floor.The elevator stopped and dinged, then opened. "This is the Control Centre." Celia announced.They had just stepped into what looked like an office department. Long rectangular desks were arranged in rows with several swivel chairs arranged along their longest sides. People dressed in suits were seated, each one of the typing on computer systems. Everyone looked focused on their activity. Several bulbs hung on the white ceiling giving out light. There were some doors on the wall and a water dispenser stood at the corner of the room. "This is where the activities of demons are being checked, emergency calls are being taken, and other activities like that." After taking a look around and a little more explanation, they went back into the elevator and lifted to the next floor."This is the Weaponry Centre." Celia said as the elevator door dinged open. The
"A long time ago, in the ancient days, there were wizards. Wizards were respected as they kept magic in Kingdoms in check. The wizards provided magic for day-to-day activities and the days were peaceful. But as they say, good things don't last. "Some wizards started becoming greedy for power. They saw themselves as superior and wanted to rule. Among these wizards was Lim. He took his ambition far to another level. He searched and searched until he found a ritual to make himself the most powerful wizard. He informed his friend, Aidan who is another wizard, about this but Aidan wasn't greedy for power, so he refused. That broke their friendship. "Lim ignored Aidan's warning about the ritual involving strong dark magic. He went ahead and prepared everything, then performed the ritual on a full moon. It was almost successful and he felt the magic energy surging through him. For a moment, he was the most powerful wizard on Earth. But it was too much for him to handle and couldn't control
Story no longer updating. Do not Unlock.****"Yes, I made it. Woohoo!" Kevin screamed loudly which made students around glance at him as he emerged from Mr. Avery's office. They shook their heads, thinking he was going crazy. Yes, he was crazy. Crazy with excitement. If only they read the paper he was holding, they would have screamed with him. If they read the paper, they would understand that Kevin is one of the nominees in the Best Students Awards, held in Anderson Boarding School every year. But this year's own was special. The prizes of this year's award was bigger than the last ones because Jones Tech Company is a beneficiary of the awards. So the prizes were definitely grand. He was also excited because he had never won the award before. This was his time to shine."Hey what's with the shouting?" His best friend, Darrin, walked up to him and asked."You are not gonna believe this." Kevin shook his shoulder. "Whoa. Calm down. What is it?" Kevin handed the paper to him. "I
Two hours past midnight.Kevin's sleep was disturbed by intense heat. Hot nights had become a common thing in the dormitory ever since the air conditioner was damaged last two weeks. The students were used to it, but not when the heat was this intense. Although Kevin was awake, he kept his eyes closed, trying to ignore the heat. But it kept increasing on his body, forcing sweat out of his body. Because he easily perspired, his pajamas were already drenched with sweat. He rolled to his other side.To make the matter worse, a choking scent filled the air, replacing the fresh one. The scent became stronger every second. Suddenly, a scream echoed which forced him to sit up and open his eyes. He sneezed due to the choking scent. All he could see was large blurry orange color around. He rubbed his eyes to clear his eyesight. He looked again and what he saw nearly made his heart break free from his ribcage. He gasped, turning his head around swiftly. "Ah!" The person screamed again. Studen
Kevin's heart was still racing even after taking deep breaths in a bid to calm himself. But how can he be calm after the strange dream he just had? It felt so real as if it happened just a few moments ago in reality not in a dream. This thought made him wonder if he actually died and was a ghost presently. Then where was his body? That can be it. It was just a dream. No, a nightmare.The image of Darrin being dead and of Scott in his devilish form kept replaying in his head. Perhaps, he had overthought this hot surprise thing that Scott mentioned and that prompted him into having that dream. Scott can't be that dangerous to the extent that he would set the hostel ablaze just for vengeance, can he? All he needs to do is to calm down and everything will be alright. He assured himself with this thought and laid on his bed. Then his bladder felt full. He had to pee.Groaning inaudibly, he hopped down from his bed and made his way to the door carefully as the dormitory's light bulb was swit
