Jake looked at the arm that had been reattached for him and he gave a small sad smile at it.Who would have thought that he of all people would need a fake arm."Is it going to be okay doctor?"Aubrey looked at the doctor and noticed the way the man's eyes flashed past her boobs. It had been quite some time that she had experienced that now. Not the fact that someone was looking at her, people always looked at her, but the fact that someone could be so subtle about it, that was what really fascinated her about it.The doctor was young like herself and Jake, and the fact that she was looking at him and that she was also looking for someone else to fill in the space that Jake's absence would soon bring, the doctor seemed to be a very good alternative.Jake wouldn't keep her for long and she knew he would find out that she didn't like him anymore.He would come to realize that she wasn't as loyal as she had made him believe and then he would try to get rid of her. She would have to fin
"This person called you Daimon?"Con nodded his head and looked into the distance again."I'm pretty sure that's what he called me, or was it Darion?"Xavier sighed and Lisa found herself rolling her eyes at the sound of that sigh. Con was messing with all of them and he seemed to enjoy doing that regardless of the fact that he had been asked to stop a number of times now.It was a very funny affair, but it was also a serious one and the tension in the air could cut a piece of paper. "Are you being honest Con or are you just joking with me?"Lisa could hear the dangerous tone her father's voice had taken and she gulped at that. It was never a good idea to try tricking him when he had not gotten his full amount of rest. Even ten percent of the rest he should have taken would be enough for her father to function at full speed the rest of the day, but from the look in his eyes she could tell that he had skipped sleep all together.He was looking cranky and it showed in his voice.Con c
Con stared at the information being displayed in the space in front of him and he frowned."What is this?" Xavier simply dropped a file on the table before him and he moved it closer to the other man. They were in his home office now and so far nothing had settled at all.Con had become more agitated and it would soon be nightfall. He was scared of having that dream again but that was the least of their problems ,Their major problem now was Lana Caswell. She had almost finalized her divorce to Jake when Orion city collapsed and she had been taken by that strange hand.Now Con was back, and she just happened to show up at the same time.It was fishy, and not comforting at all. He was happy that they were both back, but he didn't know what that would mean for all of them together. There were still a lot of mysteries they had left unsolved and new ones were popping up everyday.It would be enough to make anyone feel disconcerted.Con could feel the anxiety radiating off Xavier. He was
The ice was fairly easy to thaw with Lisa's help and soon Xavier found himself free from the table he had been stuck at.Lisa leaned back with the flaming torch in her hand and she lifted the visor she had used to protect her eyes from the flames up. Her father's table now had some mild burn marks under it, but at least his hand was free now and that was all that mattered.He could follow her now to go check on the purple-haired lady, and maybe on the way, he could also narrate how they knew a celebrity.It had taken her some time before she could realize who was really under her care, but the moment she did, she almost screamed.Lana Crawford had been a megastar ten years ago. Her face was everywhere and she was known for her great acting skills. Now that the lady was back, it was almost like a dream for her. The purple hair and added features she seemed to have gotten weren't helping matters too and that was exactly what she wanted her father to explain to her.What was actually hap
Con walked down the hallway of Xavier's home and for the fourth time in one day, he passed the room where Lisa was being kept and he avoided the door again.What would he go in there to do?He had failed all of them.He had failed Mark and he had broken his promise to protect his sister. He didn't even know where Adeline was anymore and the last he had heard of Nurain was the fact that it had crashed with the collapse of Orion city. Adeline was nowhere to be found now and he had made a promise to her brother to keep her safe. And not only had he failed his friend and not kept a promise he had made, he had failed a lot of other people too.He carried out his own research from time to time and he could say for a certain fact that he had caused destruction in the lives of all the people he had come into contact with.Aubrey had to go through hell after he disappeared. She had been heavily injured and also under the assault of her husband who seemed to have gotten even more wealthy and
In the test room, Lana opened her eyes to see a whole new world in front of her.A frown crossed her face and her eyebrows creased together. The feeling of the soft bed under her caught her attention at once but it failed to keep it. She had the mind of a child now.And the mind of an ancient creature that lived thousands of years but yet fell into a deep sleep somewhere along the line. Memories that weren't hers began flooding her brain, and for a quick moment, Lana felt like the world was something else.Something like a thought, or the creation of someone's imagination. These thoughts flew through her mind like they were hers but she could tell they were not. The feeling of something else living in her body became clearer with each passing second and as she stared at the ceiling one more time,A mechanical voice sounded in her ear.~Destruction of worlds system, activated.~~Current status, host of the demon god, Trin~~Requirements to live, none~ ~Have a nice life~The crease on
Jake stared at the older man in front of him and gave a small bow of his head.The time for delay was over. Things were being set in motion faster than he had thought and he had to be at the helm of those affairs if he knew he wanted to be taken along/.Horizon would soon make its entrance and appearance in Destiny's island. He couldn't fathom why they had not announced themselves all this while. They would have been unstoppable in the city, and he as their lackey would have been the most powerful among his peers.He could stand up to some people now, but those people didn't know a thing about his powerful backer. They always tended to doubt him and it annoyed him to no end that they would keep on doubting his credibility.In the case of what had happened to him a few days ago, that could have been avoided if the fool that had pulled off his arm knew he had a force like Horizon backing him up, but that person did not know and he would have to kill them after this for it.As Jake thou
Con frowned at the information he was being given and he tapped on his table.He had forgotten all about the old man he had locked in his room and now that man was dead. His only link to getting to know more about the man he had called his father suddenly dead and there was nothing he could do about it because he had been the one to cause it in the first place. He had locked his half uncle in the room and he had forgotten about the existence of the other man completely.He wasn't only a bad nephew but now he had actually managed to kill the man.Well the caretaker said he wasn't dead yet, just heavily starved and somewhat maniacal. Like a cat on the hunt for lost mice.Con found himself chuckling at that and he almost laughed out loud to himself. That man was the same one who had forced him to touch that star, killing millions in the process and making a ruin of the lives of most on the land of Orion city. The man deserved a worse death than starvation.If not for anything then for
