The Midnight Heir LAST TEST
"What's it going to be Cass? All three of us already lost so it's basically decided at this point? You still want to have a go?" Queen asked and they all looked at Cassandra to know what her answer was going to be. Satyre from where she was standing listened to the discussion they were having. She wanted to know if she should remain standing there and waiting for a test that might or might not take place or regroup with them so that they can leave. Cassandra took a good look at Satyre, thinking about the feats and skills she's showcased the last few minutes and there was only one answer she could come up with. "Win or lose, there's no shame in trying," Cassandra said and the others didn't react negatively to her answer. They more or less expected her to be curious enough to want to challenge Satyre as well. If each of them has a defining personality then Cassandra's would be curiosity. "That's what I like to hear!" Johnny said laughing as he pats Cassandra's back "Go get revenge o
The Midnight Heir FIRST EVER LOSS
While Satyre was perplexed and fixated on how could she have possibly ended up losing the test, the others aside from Cassandra were all shocked that she won.“After winning the first two rounds I couldn’t predict what hand she was going to make again. I lost five times in a row but how? I’m Satyre, I never lose” Satyre mumbled, looking at her hand and contemplating what happened.She ran the whole thing again and again in her head but it didn’t make sense. Anytime she would predict what hand Cassandra was going to make it always ended up being wrong.Suddenly, Johnny started to laugh before hugging Cassandra and raising her body a couple of feet then dropping her down.“That’s our Cass for you, always doing the unpredictable and somehow you managed to do what none of us three could. You beat the white monster” Johnny said.Queen who was observing Satyre break down mentally from having lost so badly, grunted.“Is this your first time losing something Lady Satyre?” Queen asked, pulling
The Midnight Heir OPTIONS
"What's that supposed to mean?" Satyre asked as she turned to face Pluck."You're smart Lady Satyre so you should know exactly what I mean when I say walk out those doors and it'll be the end of any relationship we've formed," Pluck said.Satyre observed Pluck very intently, looking around him and noticing the difference in how he stood, sounded, and other things and it only meant one thing."I've seen the master of the mansion enough to know what he's like. So which is the previous rulers are you?" Satyre asked and Pluck smiled."The second king of this nation. I've been told that I have a way with words and my prowess in persuasion is high up there" Pluck smirked and Satyre sighed."Like I was about to say, wherever your master is, if what he's facing right now is that big then it'll be too late before you get to him. However and for the sake of argument, let's say you do happen to meet up in time and you managed to protect him like the Dallihand that you are, the problem is that wh
The Midnight Heir SATYRE’S AGE
“Lady Satyre, does that mean that you’re staying?” Cassandra asked hurriedly.“Since options one and two weren’t things my master would want, option three turns out to be the best. Thanks for showing me a path I didn’t think of, Cassandra” Satyre said, making Cassandra blush bashfully.“Huh? Why’s your face all red? Are you sick or something?” Pluck asked Cassandra, placing the back of his hand on her neck to check her temperature and the others started chuckling nervously.Queen pulled Pluck's hand “Let’s go, Master, I’m sure it’s the heat from lights shining on her face that’s making it red. Right guys” “Right, that’s it,” The others said haphazardly until Pluck gave up his assumption of what the cause of Cassandra’s red face was.Queen, Pluck, and Ruby went to meet Satyre by the door and Johnny who was behind Cassandra placed his hands on her shoulder and leaned closer to her ear.“Listen, Cass, this is only a temporary arrangement so don’t go getting attached to the monster, or e
The Midnight Heir HEARTBEAT
The elevator doors opened on the final floor and Tessa stepped out, practicing what she was going to say to Anthony when she sees him.She hadn't actually forgotten to drop her half of the access card when she and her siblings were moving out but she had purposely taken it with her.She even made sure to move out when Anthony wasn't around so that he couldn't ask her for it.She did that so that she would have an excuse to come back and see him since they might not see each other that often because of how far from here her new place is.To go from seeing someone you're interested in every day to only hearing from them via phone call was a quick change she didn't like. Even though they didn't stay together for long, not even a week, Anthony still left an impression.Why wouldn't she when he protected her from multiple armed men, gave her a place to stay, paid off her debt, put the people who were after her in jail, and helped save and reunite her with her younger siblings?Anthony had
The Midnight Heir EYES
"Fuck!" Tessa exclaimed then turned to the door in a rush."I should go get Cain, he would know what to do," she said then started to drop Anthony's body on the floor so she could rush out.However, she thought that if she leaves Anthony now then would they be able to revive him by the time she and Cain come back?She has no idea when his heart stopped so it could have been a second before she checked or an hour but one thing she knew is that if she leaves now then there was definitely no hope of his heart beating again.Tessa's heart was racing but there was only one option she saw right now. She had to do it herself.Tessa went down on her knees beside Anthony and started giving him CPR."Come in Silver, wake up. Do it for me and if not me then do it for Annabelle. You can't just die like this, you don't deserve it" she said while doing the CPR and counting in her mind.After a whole minute of CPR and Anthony's heart still wasn't beating, she got frustrated and so she started poundi
The Midnight Heir GETTING HELP
Tessa whose curiosity got the better of her leaned closer to Anthony’s face, regardless of her better judgment because she wanted to confirm if what she saw was real.“Open your eyes Silver, I want to check something,” she said.“What do you mean my eyes are glowing? Is that what you want to confirm?” Anthony asked as he slowly opened his eyes to look at her.Once she saw what she was looking for, Tessa grimaced and was speechless for some seconds.“Tell me, are they glowing or not?” He asked her.Tessa smacked her tongue confusedly then said “Umm, they are not. I guess I was wrong, maybe?”The room was dark so if they were glowing it would be obvious but there was nothing.It left Tessa even more confused because she had no idea what was going on or why she would imagine Anthony’s eyes glowing. It made no sense.“The intensity of the lights from the bulbs before they exploded must have temporarily damaged your pupils. Why didn’t you close your eyes when it was happening?” Anthony ask
The Midnight Heir DRIVEN TO ANGER 2
Parked along the road of Vintgate District, just in front of the restaurant and bar Anthony took Tessa’s siblings to which was also Vinny’s favorite place to hang out with his gang, was a taxi.The taxi driver was on a call and from the face he was making, he wasn’t in a good mood.“How many times am I going to tell you that I’m still looking for money for the bill? Stop hassling me!” The taxi driver yelled into the phone.[“Oh really? Then why can’t I hear the sound of the road if you’re working that hard?!”] the person on the other side yelled back.“What do you mean the sound of the road?!” [“The sound of the road, stupid! The sound of other cars driving by. You’re not driving are you?!”]“Of course, I’m not driving! How would I be answering your call if I was driving? You just want to yell at me and take out your frustrations don’t you cause this isn’t a reason to be angry!”[“Oh really? That’s why I divorced you in the first place. Our daughter is in the hospital and instead of
