House In The Darkness
The Secret Door/Ukiyoto Publishing
Where are they? They couldn’t see anything. It’s like they fell into a deep hole. They try to feel their way around the darkness but they couldn’t touch anything solid. Again Grizzlebark never said anything about this abyss, or should there be a passageway here he forgot to mention? Van keeps his eyes open for a glint of light or something. “Ouch, Alice my foot,” Van groaned. “I’m with Don Van, I got his arm.” “That’s my arm Alice,” Cara retorted. “Well, it’s probably…” “Yeah that’s right, blame me Van,” Kirsten said harshly. “Wait, I have a flashlight here,” Don added. Don’s tactical light is powerful enough to illuminate the darkness for several feet. It’s actually Don who stepped on Van’s foot. Alice had grabbed Cara’s arm out of fear of being left in the darkness. Kirsten is on her knees and looking clueless. “This isn’t the school ground,” Don noted. “Are you sure your feathered friend is telling the truth,” Kirsten muttered to Van. “For your in

Living In A Dream World
The Secret Door/Ukiyoto Publishing
They feel as light as feathers when they wake up from their nap, like all of their earthly burdens are taken away. Everything around them has a different air now, and it’s like they are still floating in a dream world. The dreamy sensation is further enhanced by the overwhelming beauty of their surroundings, from the house to their stunning host. And they have to pinch themselves repeatedly to check if they are now wide awake. “Come and join me in the table,” the woman called them. “It’s already dinner?” Alice asked while flattening her dishevelled hair. “Goodness, we overslept,” Van said, mildly embarrassed for their excess. “How long did we sleep,” Don then asked. “Just long enough for you to be properly rested,” the woman replied, her smile ever sweeter. “You’re being generous but…”Van meant to say that we should go now, but his jaws seem to loose strength and freeze in mid-speech. “Now enough of that, everyone to the table,” the woman said to them g

The Glass Heads
The Secret Door/Ukiyoto Publishing
“Can’t you see Van that I’m cursed,” said Cara after seeing the disbelief in Van’s face. “But it’s hard to prove Cara,” Van replied. He stowed the mirror back to his pocket, and it continues to glow. “Van, the moment I saw her, I felt unnaturally weak. And when you’re not looking, she muttered something incomprehensible, and I fell ill!” Van meant to say he didn’t saw her do that, but he holds his tongue. Since he and the rest are simply too sleepy to be observant to their surroundings, he can’t disprove that either. And Cara is not the type of person that will just accuse someone straightaway. And his dream comes to mind. You can never go back to your world. That’s what the voice keeps saying. What if it’s not a dream but a vision? A warning he must take heed. The mirror in his pocket is again making a non-verbal reminder in his mind and it says listen to your friend. “The best thing we could do now is to get away from here. Let’s wake the others,” Cara suggest

Azazel
The Secret Door/Ukiyoto Publishing
Van can’t see how they will escape this time. They are cornered in a cramped room with the only exit blocked by the very person they are running away from. He doesn’t want to think that this is it and they are doomed. There must be a way out of here; he just has to think hard. “Oh, would you look at where we ended,” Kirsten said innocently. “You are really kind to us but we should go now,” Alice chuckled, a muscle shaking on her cheek.Van clenches his fist and steps forward. “Well, it’s really not polite to go running around in your house, after all the kind things you did to us. But we really need to go now,” he pleaded hopefully, though he knew all along that this won’t work at all. The woman’s expression brightens, but their surroundings seem to get foggy. Numb sensations began to spread from their extremities and their vision blurs. “Naughty are we,” the woman said, her voice sounding distant, “Let’s leave it here everyone, back to beds now.” “I can’t,

The Dawn Spirit
The Secret Door/Ukiyoto Publishing
“I see, you know Hanan, my mother,” Ana laughed, and only meaningless blabbers escape from Van’s lips. “She’s your mother?” Van managed to say. “Glad you still remember me Van,” Hanan said. And for Van, there is nothing stranger than seeing a mother that looks younger than him. “How can I forget how you almost caused me my school diploma,” Van muttered, as flashbacks of the Principal’s office replays in his mind. “You know her Van,” Don whispered as the rest try to relate to what is happening. “Remember when I was caught in the restricted hallway, and I kept saying I’m seeing an invisible girl?” “You mean that’s her Van…” “Yup, here she is,” Van answered. “And I didn’t believed you Van,” Alice said, her voice small and guilty.And their conversation is briefly interrupted by something grey and feathery. “Are they okay, I heard Azazel got them,” the Pigeon said in a panicky voice. “They are okay, don’t worry,” Ana answered as the Pigeon lands on Hana
