As soon as his lifeless body hit the ground, Kai led us to a sewer, this was not the one I had seen before, it was completely different from the one in the QGT. "We need to find the twins!" I grabbed his wrist."First, we have to get out of here!" Kai replied, and we started running.We could argue and risk getting caught, or we could return later to rescue them.Just a few steps away from the ladder that would take us out, a figure with a glowing outline appeared in front of me.As the mask came off, I saw Jarred's sister standing there, pointing her gun at me. Hatred filled her eyes, but there was also pain. She intended to kill me, but I didn't care.I ran toward her and embraced her, and slowly, she lowered her gun.Tears streamed down my face as I sobbed, and her heart softened.She allowed me to cry and release my emotions.Suddenly, a strange sound echoed, and she patted my back."We have to leave now!" she shouted.We had no other option but to run. We escaped the sewers and
Confused, I whispered, "What did I do?" before mustering the courage to request them to sit down.I had never felt so nervous in my entire life.Veronica, with a smile on her face, informed me that I was quite the hero around there as she handed me the keys.The receptionist then asked me to place my thumb on a small screen for biometric verification.Following that, Veronica guided me to an elevator, which had a vintage charm to it.Upon reaching the 6th floor, she led me to my room, unlocked the door, and guided me inside.The room was tastefully decorated, with crisp white sheets and a bed made of black wood.There was a simple yet elegant dressing table, and a window right beside the bed that could be opened to let in fresh air.In the corner, there was a bathroom with a shower. However, what caught my attention was a desk with a chair, and on top of it, a small laptop equipped with advanced technology."We've held onto it just for you, for ages!" she exclaimed. She then cast a qui
The video changed once more, this time revealing a closer view of the boy inside the pod.It was no longer a secret recording. He looked swollen, with thick pipes connected to his shoulder blades and smaller ones attached to his arms, ankles, and a mask covering his mouth with a thick pipe connected to it. His muscles appeared unnaturally strong."I'm not surprised to see Asher stoop so low," a woman's voice echoed through the wide room.She turned to her right and showed a screen displaying the scene where I had my hand around the scientist's throat in the prison.It was the day they forced me to kill Nina."They're subjecting him to this repeatedly," she said with a cold sigh."They're altering him in unnatural ways, making him strong and almost invincible.But the poor boy has no clue about what they're doing to him. I'm sorry, Zaria, I couldn't help you."I couldn't bear it any longer. I hurried to the bathroom and vomited. "You have to stay strong," I reminded myself as I looked
"So, did Asher really go through all of this just to make the vein explode?" I asked, still trying to wrap my head around everything."Exactly. The chemical inside you was causing your frequent nausea, but now that it's gone, you won't have to deal with that anymore," Veronica explained.Enzo, looking visibly scared, asked, "Is it some kind of poison or acid? Will it harm her?"Veronica reassured him, saying, "No, if it were an acid, it would have already caused damage to the vein and made its way out.This substance won't harm her in any way."Feeling confused and still searching for answers, I asked, "But why was it in my body? What am I?"Kai interrupted, suggesting, "I think you should talk to your mother about this.""I don't know how we're going to do that because the last thing I know is that the hidden city disappeared," I said, leaving the room feeling lost."You need to see this!" Ella exclaimed, running toward me.She took me to my room and replayed the last video, rewindin
“Who else is infected if not just human?” I awaited answers. “The jaguars! Their insatiable craving for human flesh is unimaginable, we need to escape before they come after us!" She was terrified, practically begging. Without hesitation, we hurriedly made our way back to the Whisper's Oasis. She was provided with clothes, food, and a room to rest in. She slept peacefully throughout the night, while the rest of us continued tirelessly, searching for any information we could uncover. It was a pleasant surprise to witness Enzo and Kai getting along so well. Amidst our work and conversations, we all eventually fell asleep in the same room. When morning came and I woke up, I noticed Enzo was not there. I quickly rushed outside, the sun just beginning to rise above the horizon. There, I found Enzo standing near a building, lost in his thoughts. I snapped my fingers near his ear, bringing his attention to me. "You're awake!" he greeted me with a beautiful smile. I couldn't believ
After a few hours of traveling, there was a strange tension between us.A Blizzard storm was just around the corner.We spotted a nearby cave as the temperature dropped.Seizing the opportunity, we found ourselves closer than we should have, considering the fact that we had just met.That evening will forever be carved in my memory. I had never experienced anything quite like it before. It was surreal.Somehow, I ended up falling asleep in the end in that cave but I woke up inside a pool, struggling to stay alive.The most surprising part was that the water in the cave wasn't cold at all. It was like a bizarre dream.That's when my eyes fell on a gleaming cyan crystal, but that was the least of my concern.All that mattered to me was to get out of the water.But to make matters even stranger, the guy who had brought me to the cave had disappeared without a trace. He and his car were nowhere to be found.It was as if he had vanished into thin air. I brushed it off as a one-night stand
"I'm really sorry, but I've been following you! I secretly placed a tracker under your vehicle because I was so curious about this place and I wanted to make sure if you were truly against Asher!" She nervously bit her lip. "I shouldn't have doubted you!" She then smiled. "Can you please take me to my biological mother?" I asked, and she nodded in agreement. I decided to bring Kai along with me, but I left Enzo behind because he needed time to recover. Also, I didn't want to risk exposing him to any more danger. We eventually found the hidden city not too far from where we had discovered it before. "It is right here!" I exclaimed. "We can't move islands or planets, but we managed to push it a little farther. But we cloaked it!" she explained. As we got off our vehicle, Kai was captivated by the beauty of this place. He couldn't take his eyes off it. With every gun pointed at him, Kai raised his hands in surrender. "I come in peace!" he exclaimed, still in awe. When I spotted m
It was past midnight, the VIPs had already retired to their quarters.Unlike any other night, this particular night had a chilling atmosphere.Asher was strolling on his terrace when a snowflake landed on the fence."I almost forgot what a snowflake looked like!" he exclaimed.As soon as he touched it, the snowflake disappeared."Why are you so worried, my love? We have artificial ways to create snow!" His wife appeared from inside the room and comforted him by rubbing his back."But do you realize how long it has been since it last snowed?" He asked, staring at her with wide eyes."Of course, I do!" she smiled. "Things are changing, perhaps for the better," she added."We can't let this happen," he said, sounding concerned."What power do you have to control the weather?" she asked, troubled."I believe I am the only one with the power to change the weather!" He clenched his fist.His wife, still troubled, rubbed his shoulder again. "You need to rest, my love! You have important thin
