(Asher’s POV)
“Okay, heck.” I heaved a sigh and stretched my neck . In front of me, the flesh monster is taking its time to form to it’s fullest monstrosity. I can’t bet my luck to try killing it when it was forming as I don’t want to die again after just a week escaping The Flesh, so in the meantime, I rolled the white knitwear—which I know will turn red later because of how violent I’ll tear this creature in front of me apart—and then unzipped my hockey bag which I stored my modified hockey stick and my kitchen knife.
The completion of it’s formation was usually signaled with it’s outer layer hollowing into several medium sized holes to let the tentacles portrude outside, and that’s when I strike. I charged forward, before leaping to spin my body and land a blow which split its huge body into two. Although that blow looks fatal, that alone wasn’t enough to kill it actually. Based on my experience, these creatures functions like a golem, with a core hidden somewhere

(Asher’s POV) “I said let me in!” I shouted, trying to push through two male nurses who blocked my way to inside the emergency room. “Sir, please calm down. The patient is being treated by the doctor.” One of the nurses tried to calm my nerve. Under normal circumstances, I am an easily calm person, but this is Elaine we’re talking about. She’s not one to keep herself alive even if she’s told to, and I’m worried she might even be happy if she died. “Shit…” I gritted my teeth. While I’m still struggling, suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind me. “What is this all about?” The voice is smooth although a bit deep. I turned around to see two figure not too far from me. One is a male—looking like he’s in his mid 20’s and is oozing with sophisticated aura although he wore a casual outfit of v-neck caramel knitwear paired with a pair of straight cut black trousers. The other one is also sophisticated like him—but more so elegant with her ashen bl

The room fell silent for a few seconds before his voice broke down the stillness. “You’re not sitting?” He turned to me. I dithered for a bit—glancing at him before I sauntered to the chair he motioned me to sit on. Because of the incident where she jumped down the building, I noticed that she got relocated to a VIP room on the first floor. Luckily the two of them came and lead the way to her new ward room. If not, I might have to spend some time looking out for her new whereabout. After sitting down, I inadvertently yawned. I looked at the digital watch installed on the wall and it displayed a huge red 12 on the black slate. “Are you sleepy?” Mister Michaelis asked the obvious. I nodded slowly as a response. I mean, of course I would. I was resting at home when I suddenly got summoned inside The Flesh and I have to fight the flesh monster in addition of heading immediately to the hospital right after I returned to the real world. Luckily I to

(Elaine’s POV) “Treasure yourself more…” A muffled voice lingered inside my mind from my ears, accompanied by a gentle touch coming from a mysterious source. Somehow I feel like I’m free from my troubles and was reborn; as if I’m an entirely different person. I also felt strangely warm and… wet? I rolled my irises, trying to rip my eyelids open but My Lord, why is it so heavy? After a few moments of me literally struggling to open my eyes, I managed to crook it open for a bit. Immediately, a blinding ray of light enters my squinted view as I frowned. I tried to accostume myself with the light, which took a few moments for me to open my eyes fully. “…Huh…?” I breathed. Where am I? I calmed down a bit when I think that I might still be inside the ward room. But, shouldn’t I be dead already? I blinked my eyes several times to figure out my surroundings. This place definitely doesn’t look at all like the he

(Elaine’s POV) (Scene after Asher and Elaine were eating their breakfast) The surrounding air feels heavy I feel like choking. After they told Asher to go home, these seven people not far from me—my aunt and my uncle, Miss Jonas and Mister Michaelis, Mister Rupert and two other people who I’m not familiar with—all of them were having a staring competition of their own. Suddenly my aunt paced beside me and grabbed my shoulders as she broke into one of her fake smiles. “Gentlemen, I told you that she needs proper care at home. You know how she is when she’s out here in the community, right?” My aunt stated, as if strengthening the fact that I’m mentally ill. One of the unknown man—a male with a wavy golden hair and short beard, his blue eyes has a glimpse of crystal icy blue in it, and his fugure towers most of the people present inside this room—glanced sliently at me. Again the room fell silent, before the other guy beside the tall guy spoke,

(Asher’s POV) I tapped impatiently on the dinner table while my mind is filled with thoughts. Once in awhile I would grunt, and my deep thinking finaly ended when I couldn’t think of any solution at all. I got up from the dinner table and sauntered to the sofa to lie down there. Back in the hospital, unexpectedly, I got to listen the real situation as to why Elaine have such high suicidal intent in the first place. “Her parents’ death weren’t the trigger to her anxiety and depression. Instead…” The flashback paused and was now added with a new image in mind about a couple of corporate entering the ward room. I’ve seen her horrified face before but it’s the first time she’s terrorized she literally became frozen stiff. My gaze then wandered to the couple. Now wonder Elaine was so terrified of them, these two corporates in front of me… doesn’t have any feeling of love at all in their eyes. “…She’s traumatized by her own uncle and aunt who took c

Ryan pulled a long face while he strutted through the hallway of the hospital, a big sized eco bag filled with containers of food dangling on his right shoulder. Under such unbearable pressure to rant, plus the surrounding that smells nothing but antiseptic which made his head spun, Ryan mumbled to himself. “First you told me you can’t go to school because you’re sick, and now you want me to bring you some food to the hospital? What am I, your mom?” His rant ended—when he arrived in the entrance of the VIP ward which Asher had told him about—replaced with a calm face he tried so hard to construct. He spent a few minutes solely staring emptily at the lavish, dark colored sliding door which separates the room from the other common ward while wondering why his friend chose such ward out of all other ward rooms. ‘Oh, right. His mother is rich, so he might receive some kind of special treatment.’ Ryan thought while pulling the door open. What met his eyes the firs

(Asher’s POV) “Oh!” A female nurse with a metal trolley in front of her exclaimed softly as she covered her mouth. “Pardon me.” Her tone sounded guilty. “No no, it’s alright.” Asher frantically squirmed on his seat, trying to put Elaine onto the bed with one hand holding the food container and the other one holding a fork. Meanwhile, Ryan is holding to dear life, making sure he didn’t die from choking because he’s trying to stifle his laugh from looking at Asher’s awkward attempt. “Give me a few moments, Miss Nurse. I’ll get up from the bed.” Asher said in a restrained voice, his eyes widened when Elaine’s head was about to slip off from his chest and fell onto the floor beside the bed. “No, it’s okay.” The nurse raised both of her hand before waving them, signaling a no. “I’ll just place the food tray here. You can wake her up later, but please do so when the food is still warm.” She informed, her hands swiftly took out a metal food tra

(Asher’s POV) I froze on my seat, trying to register the sight I just see in front of my eyes. Meanwhile, Rufus made himself comfortable by sitting in front of Ryan, even nibbling the fries which Ryan just bought for himself. Ryan chuckled and pushed the large paper packaging of fries to Rufus’s front. “I’ve read your messages. You want to know about Elaine Ozark, right?” Rufus paced his gaze between us. Ryan nodded his head, followed by me. “Okay.” He finished the fries inside his mouth first before he began. “So, what you guys wanna know about her?” “Wait.” I raised my hand a stop, my forehead creased into a look of conflict. “I didn’t hear anything about Rufus the one helping us.” I said while shooting Ryan conflicted glances. Ryan blinked his eyes a bit, before he gave me an answer. “You didn’t ask?” He’s definitely trying to defend himself, this sneaky bastard. “Wait, Ryan. You didn’t tell him that it’s me?” Now it’s Rufus
