Anna wasn't really good at hiding her emotions. She wasn't the type to feel one thing and show the other. Especially when it comes to emotions that really cut deep into her feelings. "I mean, we can all remember what happened with me and him." Sheiley continued. Anna thought that Sheiley was done with the torment, but it seemed as though Sheiley had more coming. It would seem like Sheiley had been waiting for this moment all her life. One would think that Sheiley had come to this restaurant in search of Anna just to make a big ridicule of her. Anna definitely was not prepared for this. She was still caught up thinking about what she saw on her phone. She was not prepared for that too either. There were a lot of things she didn't prepare for that were happening to her today. It was only right for her to come to the conclusion that she would have to deal with whatever comes her way whether or not she was prepared for it. She sighed. "I can't imagine how he would agree with breaki
Anna wanted to concentrate, but she couldn't do so. She had her mind flying everywhere. She just couldn't put a leash on it. Although she had been able to get Sheiley and Harry off her back, yet it felt like they were still right there with her. She knew that she had eventually put the couple in their place, yet she couldn't help but feel that they were still on to her. Sheiley's words were still fresh in her mind. Especially Sheiley's words about what Cory might be doing on the island. She didn't know whether or not to be sad or mad. Well, she knew that being mad was not even her right. She was the one who asked to break up with him. He never proposed such a decision. So she didn't have the right to be mad at him whether or not he chooses to date someone else. Her mind quickly zoomed back to the person who was close to Cory. She recalled Stephen. She had told him to relay her message to Cory. Didn't he relay the message to him? Why didn't Cory call her back? She knew that Cory m
Anna's brain froze for a second. She had been up in her head thinking about the possibilities of things for a moment now. The first thing that came to her mind when she opened her mouth was to try and ease herself of the pent of emotions she was feeling. She had set out trying to vindicate herself and not be run into the corner by an emotional blackmail but all of a sudden, things changed. When the brain regained its pace, all Anna could do was just stare at her father with no words. The man was not looking at her. He was staring at the front. Her gaze had tuned to the extent that, if there was a way, her eyes would have drilled holes in his face. At a point, it would seem as though the side of his face was an outlet where Anna could comfortably plug her eyes. She heard Lord Theo sigh very heavily. Then he turned to the door and pushed it open. He climbed out of the car. Anna's eyes suddenly turned red again. She couldn't even count the number of times she had been forced to get
Cory didn't stop for once as he walked briskly in that direction. It was hard to tell why he was now walking when he could use time to contract the space and zoom through in order to get to where he was going as quickly as possible. Not long after, he saw a white bunny standing at the front of a pond. He didn't for a moment stop to catch his breath. He neither increased his pace, too. At that same pace and with the same demeanor, he walked in the direction of the bunny and halted behind it. He zoomed at once and grabbed the bunny before it could even think of escaping. As soon as he grabbed the bunny, he reached for its head, curled two of his fingers around its neck, and added some pressure. He snapped the head off at once without even thinking twice. Snapping the head off, blood was splattered in several directions. Some of the slabs of blood fell on his face, plastering in the corner of his face. Some slabs hit the nearest stones. After the did was done, Cory shut his eyes and
Irmais was taken off guard by what Cory had just said. Irmais took two steps closer. He turned his ear towards Cory. He was a little bit clueless on top of the load of confusions he already had. He didn't know what to decide. He couldn't tell for a fact whether Cory was asking a question or making a conclusion. "Huh?" He further tried to ask the question. He was not ashamed to ask a question when he was concerned. It seemed like he knew whom he was talking to. He wasn't looking at the body of the man in front of him. He was looking at the essence of the man standing in front of him. He was looking through the eyes of Cory and was seeing his master. "My parents are dead." Cory continued. Cory didn't seem to care that Irmais did not have any clue. He didn't care that he wanted to get the answer to the first question. He was not here to please Irmais. He was here to get this over with as soon as possible. Irmais could also read the reactions on his face. He could tell that much th
"What did you just say?" Irmais really didn't care that he sounded very vulnerable at this point. None of his emotions mattered to him. What Cory had just said held a huge significance to impact everything he had always held on to, everything he has believed. He was on his feet this time, walking even closer and closer to Cory. At this point, it would seem as though he was thinking of walking straight into Cory's body and getting dissolved in the aforementioned. Cory, on the other hand, looked quite unfazed as he stared blankly at the lad in front of him. It was still Irmais, of course, but to Cory Irmais was a lad. "It's been over ten thousand years since you lived in the realm. You've been living in the realm all your life! How come What you have just said?! It does not make any sense to me." Irmais was struggling really hard to get an answer to these questions flying around in his head. He was also trying to do his best to contain the questions, but all he could do was get the
Irmais collected the gem and tossed it down his throat. He had a hard time swallowing it at the first try, so he pushed it back out and chewed on it for the next few moments until it was safe to swallow. Cory didn't stop or wait for him after he collected the gem. Cory was walking away with an urgency. Irmais quickly picked up the pace and started racing after him. "Master." Irmais called eventually. Cory stopped in his tracks. It would seem as though he had just been shocked to his core by the title with which Irmais had just addressed him. He turned around slowly to look at Irmais. Irmais still looked as confused as ever, but this time, there seemed to be a ray of hope lighting up the corner of his face. Cory didn't want to read any extra meaning to this unless he had gotten the exact information he could work with. "Do you believe now that I am your master?" Cory asked, turning fully to face Irmais. Irmais let out a deep sigh. That was a very good question. He was still hav
A couple of girls were gathered in one of the rooms in the villa. Amongst the girls were Rachel, Aine, and Lila. They were four in total. They were all staring at the scroll, which was hung up against the nearest. The scroll had been pressed to the wall with some removable cellotape. The girls would not even exchange gazes, let alone break their sight from the scroll on the wall. It would seem as though they were using the scroll as an aid into another realm. Perhaps it was a portal through which they could see something else. The silence continued for another few seconds until, "Turn it around." Aine suddenly said to no one. When she made that comment, some of the girls nodded to what she had said. It seemed like it was something that the majority would agree on. Lila got up on her feet and rolled over the bed to where the scroll was being hung. She removed the cellotape and then turned the scroll to the other side. "Don't hang it this time. Just hold it up. That should be ab
