AsherAsher felt his heart clenched in pain. Just a few minutes ago, those stiff lips were forming the most wide and beautiful smile he had ever seen, now all that’s left were a thin fine line of her lips, unmoving although her eyes were drenched from her own tears. He pulled Elaine into his arms and ribbed her back, a few moments after that, Elaine buried herself as she sniffled, her small body trembled greatly, perhaps from the sobbing, or perhaps from the unwaning fear.The young teenage boy heaved a sigh. His mind is a blend between tired and also concerned about her. It feels muddled yet he don’t want to do anything about it, as if his energy is already depleted.He again heaved a long sigh, before sauntering to the bed. Then, with all his might, he fell on the bed and enjoyed the sinking sensation he felt as he sank on the thick and cold duvet. Having a duvet with dual function really helps with the season~At the same time, Asher didn&r

Asher“Bro…” Ryan gazed at Asher as if he just saw a circus animal performing weird tricks in front of him that he’s not impressed of. Meanwhile, Asher hissed for him to shut up.The two of them were walking to their classroom after sending Elaine to her classroom, which along the way, gained more than a handful of staring eyes due to Asher’s fashion.He was dressed in a rare clothing; matte knee length long coat with black denim and black v-neck as well as a pair of lumberjack shoes matched his coat. His outfit is definitely a high tailored casual style that fit the cooling down season.He himself wasn’t really sure why Elaine’s private maid and Ezra suddenly barged into ther house, wearing cotented look on their faces as if children being given freedom to dress their dolls however their like. Due to that, Ezra enthusiastically spent almost one hour mixing and matching his outfist, which, was an activity he didn

(Elaine’s POV)“Uhm, Mister?” With her thin voice, Risa called while checking up on her sharp light blue nails which were decorated with shiny golden claws. I don’t remember seeing that earlier.“Can I be honest with you using the kindest words I can utter? You’re a pain.” She stated while giving him a scrutinizing half glance.  “And besides, with that children like damages on your face?” She sscoffed. “I can do better with mine don’t you think?”Bragging, Risa displayed her hazardous looking claws.Evan scowled. “You son of a b-!”“Alright students, get back to your seat.” Mister Liam interrupted by entering the class.“Evan, I don’t know what kind of cat caused your face to look like that, but you go take your seat.”Some of the classmates giggled.Snarling at them, Evan indignantly returned to his seat, wher

(Asher’s POV)“Just how on earth did you get that battered up?”I asked Rufus after the end of the second last class. The teacher is suddenly absent for the last class so it means self studying, but I guess it’s a good cause for me to calm my nerves down for the meeting later after school.Rufus grinned from ear to ear like a proud dog, his face is screaming with a praise-me look as he said, “I successfully fend off Evan and his group when they’re about to bully Elaine during recess hour. And also, I got a homemade sandwich from Elaine!”“You lucky bastard.” Ryan nudged him jokingly and gained his giggles.I snickered and shook my head. I commented Rufus’s energy and enthusiasm of wanting to protect Elaine although I only paid him $200 and a free meal in Chips n Charm. However, I sometimes wondered what bullies like Evan had in mind to persistently made one’s life miserable.&

(Asher’s POV)I pulled a nail out from the belt, the glisten on it’s shiny silvery surface tinged with the color red. Then, I set my aim anterioproximally to the ground so it hit directly to one of the larger pulsing roots.My first attempt was great. The first root that my nail hit was the middle root; the largest among all the other roots. Upon contact, dark purplish liquid sprayed out and the tree monsters cried in an ear ripping sound. That also caused it to lose focus and halted it’s poison bullet production.I darted to the tree and spun my body. Then, I slashed the tree bark with a loud grunt. My attack managed to scratch the tree’s flesh skin, but that’s just it.“Damn…” I leaped back to the cocoon’s perimeter. If my spinning attack that would usually slash a regular flesh monster into two only inflicted a small cut to the tree, I might have to figure a combo.While I assumed my battle
