"How is she doing?" Alex asked Peter as they both glanced at Elizabeth who was asleep on the bed. She was currently inside Alex's room.

Peter narrowed his eyes as he stared at Elizabeth. "She's fine but it seems she exhausted herself way too much. She used too much of her strength while she is not supposed to," he replied.

Alex did not understand some parts of what Peter said. "I don't understand," he said. "What do you mean she isn't supposed to use her full strength during fights?"

"Because she's frail," Peter replied and then sighed before continuing. "You don't know, right? Fine, come with me, let's talk outside."

Alex furrowed his brows and then followed Peter outside after glancing at Elizabeth who was yet to open her eyes.

"So what is it that seems so important?" He asked his friend once they had gotten outside.

"Elizabeth is not truly the child of Victor Blackwood," Peter said. "She was just adopted because the wife of Victor could not give birth to her own child. There are ci

On their way, just before going into the building, they saw a boy standing by the entrance door."Hey, look, it's Alex."They all turned their attention to the boy who was oblivious of the fact that they were talking about him."I hate him for so many reasons," the girl named Elizabeth said and scoffed. "Everything about him speaks bad of him; the fact that he is so weak, poor, stupid, and not-so-good looking. Makes me wanna puke each time I see him.""I wonder if he's going to pass tomorrow's test," another girl said. She sounded worried about the boy but then Elisabeth hissed."If he fails, h

    "Hero Steven?" Alex mumbled and tried to jump out of the bed but Pter quickly grabbed him, holding him on place. Alex turned to Peter, staring at him with shock written all over his face. "What do you think you are doing by holding me here?" He asked him. "Hero Steven is my father and I need to go see things for myself!""No, you can't," Peter said to him. "Your leg hasn't completely healed, you can not be moving it around.""I dont care about my leg, it's my father they are calling a villain, I need to go warn them! They can call me names but not my family, not those I love!" Alex yelled and tried to move but Peter was firmly holding him, not allowing him to leave the bed. "Peter, please I need your help.

    "How am I supposed to know?" Alex asked David. Some of the students got killed from the attack, he somehow managed to survive, so what exactly did David mean? "Are tou indirectly saying I have a hand in their deaths?" He asked him. "That is not what I mean to say," David said firmly. "But you can't expect me to let it slide, do you?" "I dont care," Alex replied, causing David to become angry. "I am only alive because it's a miracle, I don't know what else you want me to say." Alex had to hide the fact that he's aware that his father was among the villains that had attacked the students. Besides, there was nothing else that happened during that period. He remembered he was under attack by a monster but David came to save him, and that was all. He remembered nothing else. "You—" David clenched his fists angrily. If not for the fact that the school had strictly warned them to hide the truth from Alex, he would have continued. "Fine," he mumbled and left the room. After he had le

    Alex opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by a sea of dead monsters. As he raised his hand, he noticed that it was covered in a thick, black substance that seemed to be pulsing with a strange energy. He tried to shake it off, but it only seemed to spread further up his arm.Confused and a bit alarmed, Alex looked around at the sea of dead monsters surrounding him. He had no memory of how he got there or what had happened. The last thing he remembered was...His mind was a blank. He couldn't recall anything.Suddenly, a faint humming noise caught his attention. It was coming from the black substance on his hand. As he watched, the substance began to glow with a soft, blue light.Alex felt a strange sensation wash over him, as if the substance was communicating with him. He could sense its power, its energy, and its hunger.The humming noise grew louder, and the blue light intensified. Alex felt himself being drawn into the substance, as if it was pulling him into a vortex.H

His breath came in ragged gasps, his heart racing with a mix of emotions: shock, anger, and a deep sense of betrayal.He didn't know where he was going, but he couldn't stay still. He had to keep moving, had to burn off the excess energy that was building up inside him. The contents of the letter still swirled in his mind, the words seared into his brain.As he ran, the streets became a blur, the buildings and houses nothing more than fleeting shadows. He didn't notice the curious glances from the few people who were out and about, didn't hear the distant hum of a car driving by.His world had narrowed down to a single focus: the truth. He had to know what had happened, had to uncover the secrets that had been hidden from him for so long.The streets began to blend together, and Alex found himself running through a part of town he didn't recognize.

  • Trouble

    Elizabeth did not understand why Alex prefered to run away instead of fighting back but the moment she saw the blood that had stained his shirt, she grabbed his hand and ran out of the bar.She ran with everything she's got, her mind racing. Occasionally, she glanced back to ensure that Alex was fine and each time she didn't see any sigh of pain on his face, she felt somewhat relieved though she wondered why.When they got far away from the bar, Alex stopped, causing her to abruptly stop. She thought something must have happened to him but when she looked at him, he was fine."That's enough," he told her.Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, still catching her breath. "Enough?" she echoed, her grip on his wrist tightening. "You were bleeding, Alex. What part of that is enough?"Alex glanced down at his shirt, the dark stain spreading slowly across the fabric. "It's not as bad as it looks," he said, his voice calm—too calm for someone who had just been bleeding."Not as bad—" She bit back her

    Alex's fingers tightened around the glass as he placed it firmly on the table. His sharp gaze remained locked on Lilac. "The water you gave us has a fishy taste," he said, his voice calm but cold. "Why's that?"Lilac blinked, a flicker of surprise flashing across her face before her usual, enchanting smile returned. "I happened to add a substance," she replied sweetly, brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear.Alex's expression hardened. "What substance?""I can't tell you." Her voice was light, playful. "It's our shop's top secret."He glanced briefly at Elizabeth, who still seemed caught off guard by the suddenness of his actions, then returned his attention to Lilac. "If you can't tell me, how do I know it's safe?"Lilac's smile didn't waver, but her eyes sharpened with something colder. "I never said it was safe," she murmured. "But it won't hurt you. Her, though…" She let the words hang in the air, knowing Alex would understand.A tense silence stretched between them befor

    Just as promised, Elizabeth's uncle was able to get information regarding Lilac and it sent to Elizabeth.After the first class, Elizabeth called Alex and handed the envelope to him."It didn't take you long," he commented as he collected the information from Elizabeth."My uncle's ability is to gather information regarding anyone as long as they within in this country," Elizabeth replied.Unlike before, she spoke nicely to Alex and Alex though aware, pretended like he didn't notice anything and continued in his usual tone."I see," he mumbled.'I might as well use her uncle and gather some information'. "Did you hear me?" Elizabeth suddenly asked him and he glanced up and looked at her.For the first time, their eyes met and it felt as though time slowed down for them. The two stared at each other, both having their thoughts but it seemed as though they were thinking the same thing."What did you say?" Alex who was the first to break free from whatever was happening asked her.Embar

    After Alex had left, Elizabeth stood, staring at his back in anger but then, she somewhat came back to her senses and she began to wonder what was really happening to her.She had never felt this way before. She began to feel strangely angry the moment Alex told her to watch the new girl for him and she did not know why.As much as she did not want to care about anything that has to do with Alex, she could not help but wonder why he was so much interested in the new girl.'He feels he knows everything, right? Why don't he do it himself!' She angrily thought and stormed out of the library.It was approaching noon already and Elizabeth was supposed to be heading back home, although part of the house had been destroyed due to the confrontation, she still had to return but instead of following the route that led to her house, she found herself heading towards a different direction.After walking for a while, she stopped at our shop and pushed open the door before going in.Hearing the so

    The next day, Alex walked into class, his thoughts lingering on the night before. The feeling of being watched still gnawed at him. Whoever it was, they weren't a friend—that much he was sure of. He made a mental note to stay more vigilant.As he stepped inside, his eyes swept the room. Elisabeth sat in her usual spot, gaze fixed on her notebook as if he didn't exist. Her cold shoulder didn't surprise him. After last night's confrontation, he expected nothing less."Alex!" Peter's voice cut through the room as he strolled over with his usual easy-going smile. "You survived another day. Impressive."Alex let out a small chuckle, shaking his head. "Barely."Peter leaned against the desk beside him. "You seem tense. Still thinking about last night?"Alex didn't answer, but the flicker in his eyes was enough. Peter dropped the subject with a shrug just as the door swung open.Teacher Martin entered, his sharp gaze sweeping the classroom before briefly resting on Alex. It was quick, barely

    He charged, slamming Victor into a marble pillar. The entire structure groaned under the force. Victor struck back with a brutal uppercut that sent Alex sprawling.Pain exploded through his jaw. His limbs felt heavier and slower. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand, but his breaths came harder.Elizabeth stood frozen by the table, her face pale. "Stop this!" she shouted, her voice cracking.Alex wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, glaring at Victor. But deep down, he knew that his strength was fading. He hadn't gotten used to his new power so everything was still new to him. And Victor? The man wasn't done yet.Elizabeth's voice cut through the chaos once again like a whip. "I said stop!"Her scream echoed through the shattered dining hall, freezing both men mid-motion. Victor's fist hovered inches from Alex's face, while Alex's hand curled into a tight fist, ready to strike again.The silence that followed was heavy and thick with tension and the sound of labored

  • A Visit At Night

    It's been days since Alex and Peter decided that the both of them would join hands together and fight their father, and all those behind the evil schemes.They concluded that Peter would keep eyes on his father, going about his daily stuff while Alex will keep eyes on their homeroom teacher, the Dean, and the others.It was better this way because by so doing, their enemy would not know that their secrets have been made known already.Alex had other plans in mind as well — Elizabeth.During these days, he had not set his eyes on her and he was beginning to wonder if she thinks she can play with him.'Well, tonight... I'll pay the family a visit.'-----Night finally arrived and Alex got dressed in a black hoodie. He dragged the hoodie over his head, covering his long sky-blue hair that he inherited from his beautiful mother.Once done, he set out, leaving his hostel in the heart of the night.The night air was crisp as Alex approached the towering iron gates of the Blackwood estate, h
