"What do you know about the Royal clan?" she asked, eyeing Cerulean and Sovine intently.
We were in the secluded place this place has. Just like the hospital back there, this headquarters has an underground base.
"They were the ones who started this mess."
Constant gasps fled from their mouths but the arrogant woman hushed them.
"How can they do this?"
"They were hungry for power. Hence, they want to dominate the world through this." Sovine honestly spilled the truth.
"The rain..." Lieutenant William muttered before our eyes locked at each other. He avoided his gaze from me and stared at Sovine. "They ignited their desires through that, did they?"
Sovine nodded. "Yes because it's the most convenient way. The virus can spread widely throughout the whole world by fabricating an artificial rain that consists of a deadly virus."
"So the rain wasn't a natural phenomenon at all."
"You're right at that. They want their greed to

However, when I was about to stab her skull and end her life through that, a familiar voice halted me from doing so."Xiomara..."When I turned my back to confirm the sprouting suspicion in my heart, my lips parted instantly after seeing him bare and breathing alive in front of me."Herofus..." I whispered and my eyes almost drench with tears if I didn't stop myself from crying."Y-you're alive..."He paces closer to me and I can clearly notice the rippling of his tears in the corner of his eyelids. There was a joy flickering in his orbs while looking at me without bothering to trouble himself from the aground shrouding us.Before I knew it, he was already hugging me tightly while sobbing in my arms. I gaped at the thought that maybe he was so scared from this chaos resurrecting in a wink. And perhaps, he also thought that I'm dead, worst, one of those zombies hovering around."I-I finally found you, Xiomara. I've been looking for you

There was sudden tranquility behind the doors. The stillness was deafening but I know that the igniting chaos was stirring beneath the hush.The moment my eyes fluttered wide, I can feel the shifting hues of my orbs, like a beast that knows how to camouflage throughout the course.It was also further bizarre that my senses heightened that even a drop of sweat on the ground, my eyes can follow its ebb of dipping."Xiomara... what's happening to your eyes?"But I couldn't answer him when a spray of strong force tore through the line of the front pavement, shattering the frigid foundation.Everything was ravaged, spewing cement shards everywhere.I loosened the pack of my brisk fists. I took a deep breath when my head swam and I felt my stomach twitch, and I almost throw up by the dizziness surging in every fiber of my being. I stayed that way for a bit, on my hands and knees with my head hanging, like a winded horse.I heard voices but

The wind howls, like a beast declaring the ownership of the territory. Stretching my arms upward, the gust of breeze was snapping the entire space, lifting the paving bullets in the air, and hovered around me with a rigid stance raging to penetrate anyone.They were already running, afraid that death was welcoming them in open arms. Then, I took another step forward, crowding them with the imperceptible force I gathered in a flick."She's one of them! A devil in human's clothing!""Fuck! Somebody, kill her!"My rage doubled when that phrase was like a poison held with so much grudge ran through my hearing."Yeah? I'm a demon, huh? How about this!"Like a wave rushing in the surface of the water, the fury of the flying bullets dashes through the flow of the wind towards them.They kept running but the shots were chasing over them whenever they go. And to those who were stagnant with their pace, the doom was ruffling at them already.

I woke up with my head suffering from discomfort and pain. A grunt rebelled from my mouth before I kneaded my temple to alleviate the pain somehow.However, some footsteps came rushing towards this dim room. Gazing in the direction from where the sound came from, I saw a tall figure approaching through the shadowy hallway. He was obscured by the dusk but when he entered inside, I saw the face of the man who intruded this cabin.All my meandering thoughts drove into an abrupt halt as he ceased in front of me, placing something on the small table near the bed."Lieutenant, how many days I was out?"He hands me a bowl of brothy soup. Then, he pulled the chair over and settled down.My attention darted to the bowl of soup. The smell is amazing and my stomach is grumbling at me to hurry and eat it."Before I answer that, fill your stomach first."I nodded despite the query I have in mind to ask but I tugged it aside and concede to his stat

I could hardly remember what took place after I put myself into a deep sleep. Yet the uncertainty was bugging me. I never felt this kind of lightheadedness as though I might pass out again any second.I pushed my body to lift from laying but the unsteadiness of my balance and my muscles that are out of shape was a sense of disorientation of space that affected the range of my senses, making me woozy on the spot.I could even say that a slight movement to leap out from the bed will make my surroundings spin. I can tell that I'll faint any moment if I'll try my luck to drag myself further."Don't move. You still need to recover your strength."My whole body felt weak and exhausted and when I tilted my head to glance at him, my head throbbed."W-what happened before I passed out?" my hoarse voice denoted that I just awakened from my deep slumber. It was slightly raspy and crooked."Here. Drink some water to ease your throat."He handed m

I brushed off the quilt from my body and hopped out from the bed. My body was strangely fueled by Sovine's blood. Speaking of him, I glanced at his side."I need to hear some explanation from you regarding this matter.""I thought you wouldn't ask. It's a relief that I'm prepared for this before doing this kind of deed."I sat back on the bed and listened to him thoroughly. I don't wanna skip any information if I don't take notice of his every word."We've also gone through that. The awakening of an Eleanor's power was overbearing. Hence, when the Sovereign discovered that he can ease the suffering through drinking the blood from his own kin, he took advantage of the Eleanor's blood. I just thought that this method same applies to you and my guts didn't fail me."I breathed sharply and my eyes cast downward. "Is the Sovereign you say was the ruler of the Royal family?"When he nodded, I confirmed my suspicion."A Royal family that was

"The truck has been loaded. We're off to go."I was in deep thought when Sovine gathered my attention.Looking at him, I tilted my head a bit, gesturing to him that I'll talk to him for a while. He nods and we strode to the niche where no one can hear our conversation."What do you want us to talk about?" he said and I notice the hint of seriousness in his voice.My face grew grim and my brows were slightly pulled down."My instinct never failed me but there's something off that I'm having a bad feeling about this trip. I'll leave the Aardwolves and the Black Vultures in your care. Do tell this to Cerulean before we left."He was silent and I took that as a vestige to continue my narration."I want you and Cerulean to protect these people when things go wrong. And if I fail to do my task, leave before everything mess up. There's a lower chance that I can get out but I'll squeeze my way in. I'll take it from there, don't wait for my si

"Stay closer with each other. There's a lot of undead lurking around, ready to pounce at any of us. Be vigilant."Sovine and I lead the way while Grande was fixing her troop to gather together with the things we needed if something came up unexpectedly."You don't have a gun? Why?"My attention bounced to Lieutenant William. I'm slightly irritated because he stuck himself to me like a leech.I lifted my dagger. "This will do. I'll prefer this dagger than to run out with bullets."This dagger was handed by Cerulean which he saw from the basement way back. He says that this dagger suited me. Its tip was sharp, that one contact with it, it can penetrate in someone's skin.The stillness of its shape was a guise that anyone wouldn't know what's lurking beneath the surface. Wielding this, the dagger flickered dangerously more than its contour.I was driven by my deep recalling, hence, when I peeped at him, he was looking at me with strange
