At that moment, the building came down, knocking Xander down with its debris."Xander!"Xander's eyes shut open, he was sitting behind his desk in his large office with his forehead covered in sweat."Nightmare?" he turned to the direction of the voice. It was Hunter, he looked closer and saw that he held Hunter's wrist tightly. He released the wrist in an instant as if it was on fire."I'm sorry, I wanted to wake up but you were muttering some words, when I got closer you squeeze my hand, you have a strong grip" he explained and joked at the end sensing his discomfort."Oh, sorry" Xander apologized"No worries, it's time to leave for the auction"***The huge hall was dec

The ear muff did little to block out the whooshing sound of the helicopter, and it was even more distressing when he could hear his heart raging against his rib cage after what Hunter just said."What did you just say?" Xander asked, clenching and releasing his fist. Hunter found it surprising and somewhat amusing to see Xander, who usually presents himself as confident in public, displaying such anxiety in private."You have an award ceremony to attend today, and from what I gathered from Max, the media doesn't know of your disappearance." Hunter said, mildly irritated, as he closed his eyes and folded his arms over his chest, feeling more annoyed by the whooshing sound of the helicopter.Xander stared at his assistant with his mouth jarred open, at lost of words.This all started after Hunter informed him about going home.

It revealed her hooded eyes and dark irises.She watched the seven guys at the shore splashing around in the water, totally missing the doorbell ringing when someone came in. The cafe was usually deserted during this period of the day because most people preferred to eat their meal under the sun.She wished she ran up those seven men but her lazy bones made no move."Uhm uhm" a deep voice cleared his throat, startling her to conscience."Oh my God, you scared me" she gasped holding her hand to her chest. "Do I know you?" she asked and picked up the menu which had fallen on the ground."You don't recognize me?

"Alex, wake up, Alexander wake up!" Xander heard a childlike voice called his name with such urgency.He forced his eyes open to see someone hovering over him. The image of the person was blur until he rubbed his. It stung like he rubbed all night."What?" he groaned and sat up before opening his eyes again to look at the person disturbing his sleep."We need to leave" The person stated. Xander's image of the person cleared and he looked at the teenager that disturbed his sleep.He was taken back. It felt like he staring in the mirror. The person looked so much like him the only difference was his mismatched eyes.He looked at his surroundings, it was different to what he remembered before passed out. The room was small and it almost empty of belongings. An old lamp sat on a make shift table made from bunch of books. Something felt wrong, this was not what he remembered. He remembered the Hunter, fire and the snake bite.Snake bite.He recalled and reached for his pants legs to inspec

Xander sighed for the nth time and it visibly worried Hunter who was beside him."Can you stop sighing? You are making everything hopeless" Hunter complained and Xander halted and turned to him.The anger and sadness he had kept down since they enter the woods rose up again."Hopeless? Everything is hopeless. We have been wandering woods with no sense of direction and you keeping calm like everything is alright. But guess what, it is not. We lost! Hunter, we are lost in the woods and would die from starvation without anybody to find our dead body. That's so bad because Emily is going to live thinking I'm out somewhere but I would be dead" Xander ended his rant breathing heavily."Nobody is dieing, Do you hear me nobody is dieing" Hunter said and placed his hands on Xander shoulder."This what I'm saying you are calm when we are danger" Xander said calmly and looked into Hunter eyes. His face was stoic but there was a feeling his eyes, Xander couldn't pinpoint."Look" Hunter said and t

She opened her white leather purse and took out her phone. The caller ID read Mike and she sighed tiredly before she answered the call."Where are you Hermia? I hope you didn't forget about our post honeymoon date" Mike said annoyed."Oh, I forgot" Hermia replied calmly. She had forgotten about the date when she was busy making plans for the day. "I would have to rain check something came up in my company""I'm at your company and you aren't there, quit lying and tell me where you are" Mike said, anger present in his voice."I would tell you everything when the time comes" She said and hung up without another word from his side.She couldn't get interrupted by her attention seeking husband.

"Very soon" Trente said for the fifth time and was also worried.He picked up his phone to call Max and heard a loud thump on the door."Stay here" Trente told Emily and covered her with a blanket before heading for the door.Carefully, he open the door and saw a body laying on the pouch. The sharp of the body and clothes were awfully familiar. He complained about the leather clothes being hard to breath in."Randy!" he shouted and rushed to her.
