" Mira wait... Mira wait up... " Kian ran after her as she stormed her way out of Yvonne's place. " Leave me alone... I don't feel alright. "Mira yelled. Her tears were big and they fell relentlessly. " Mira, I know how you are feeling... " That was a mistake. She suddenly stopped and turned around, colliding on Kian's chest. " You could never possibly understand how I am feeling Kian. " She poked at his heart. " I feel like dirt. People have been telling me how I was a big mistake that my mother made... I mistake that she was forced to love... My father.... oops sorry... they call him my birth giver... they call him Devil.... tells you what they think of me doesn't it? They don't say it because of my mother... but they say it with their eyes.... Do you think I am blind? I can see it Kian... I can see it alright. "Mira was panting so heavily, the air around her began to heat up. Kian noticed the moisture from the land around them evaporate. He knew he needed to act quick. Mira'
At Rozelle and George's place -" I thought we were taking 'days off'! We just got back home... Why are we packing our bags again? Where do you plan to go? "George asked as Rozelle scurried through the secret vault in their basement. She understood that it would be difficult to get her desired kind of a response from the Elder Watchers. She had Robert's coordinates jotted down. He was the only one who would understand what she meant. " You have the details of those kids... don't you? "Rozelle turned around at George who was still comfortably tuckedon his recliner. " Kids? Oh, you mean 'those kids'... yeah... yeah... of course I do... " He was taking his sweet time getting up but Rozelle literally got up on him and demanded he sat up. " Good. I need to know everything about their private lives and their families. Hand me the papers. "She extended her hand. George gave her a high five and sat up, putting on an innocent smile. " Papers? Who uses papers anymore? I have it in the s
" Kian... Do you hear me? I am scared. They have me tied up... My hands have bruises, my leg hurts...They won't let me go until you come here. "A very squishy voice came through the loudspeakers. Kian was up on his toe. The rest of them looked around but the other passengers or officials were unbothered. It seemed like they didn't hear that voice or they heard something else. " Good Lord! I swear that's Betty? What's happening? " He looked around at the others. Just then there was a shuffling sound. It seemed like a mic was passed around. The voice that spoke in it made Kian grab his hair and sit down on the airport floor. " Kian, I am so sorry my lad. Betty is just scared. Don't pay any attention to her... no matter what you do, don't come here. We will be fine... (smack)! " A loud punch disrupted Kian's grandfather's speech. The group hadn't recovered from the initial shock of it when another voice yelled in the microphone. "Braze, listen to the old man. Don't come here no m
***At some distance***" What? Is that Rozelle? Did I hear that right? "Robert turned around at Quill and asked him, amused and surprised at the same time. His brother had his hands and legs tied up as he lay in his back. Robert went around him in circles as they talked. It had been like that for days. That was how Robert forced-fed Quill to keep him alive. He was absolutely resilient. Robert had no choice but to act that way since his brother would not believe otherwise. In front of them was the body of Layla. Even though it had been days at a stretch, there was no decomposition or decay in it. But Quill was unable to see that in his madness. " How dare you do this to me Robert. I am your own flesh and blood. Was it not enough that you killed Layla for your stupid ego? You stoop so low as to disrespect the dead? Why would you not give her a proper burial? What do you want from me? You took her away from me forever. At least let me bid her a proper goodbye. "Quill had sobbed l
At the Mafia's den -Xen eyed the helicopter stationed at the helipad through the tiny holes in the worn out warehouse. His old boss wasn't in town, he had just flown in. It was his private chopper right there. It seemed like the Watchers had tried reaching him for collaboration, which he turned down in hope of higher profits. Like they said, these scumbags are used to selling their souls to the devil for money... all the love he professed for Xen was gone when money dangled in the border. " You know what, there is something that I have been keeping from you... " Xen whispered, his voice almost inaudible as his hands morphed behind his back. " Come again son? " The boss brought his ears close to Xen's lips when suddenly Xen pulled him under him and grabbed him with his giant limbs. Shouts and yelled went about as stray gunshots hit here and there. " No shooting. Ask your men to drop their weapons or I rip your head off . " Xen ordered. "Screw you.... you son of a b*tch.... wha
Robert and Rozelle were deep in conversation when the commotion outside caught their attention. Both of them ran out. Rozelle looked at her brother walking in with one hand around the shoulder of a Chemorian lad , instead of arresting them. " George! What are you doing? " Rozelle yelled. " What do you think? He is injured... knocked out... I am trying to help him. " George was too innocent to be Rozelle's brother from the same mother. " You should have helped yourself instead and arrested him while he was out. He is an alien, George. Gunshots will not kill him. " She walked up to him, probably to take the custody of Xen, herself. But something terrible happened in the next few moments. Both Rozelle and George suddenly froze in their tracks. Their eyes started turning black as their hair started to turn all white. " What's happening... "" What's going on? "Whispers and astonishment started filling the air. Mira was only half way down the ladder and she watched them, while d
Outer space -As they pulled her past Earth's atmosphere, Mira noticed that her captors were pixelating and slowly vanishing piece by piece. She thought they would take her down the same route that she used to travel to the Chemorian borders. However that was not the case. After crossing the earth's atmosphere, it started to feel like they had entered a different dimension. It's matrix was not the same. Mira could feel it. Even her own body started to feel heavier and strange. " Where are you taking me? Why? " She tried to utter but no word left her mouth. That same feeling of helplessness that she often experienced in her sleep, was back. Mira felt like she was getting sucked back inside her nightmares.The space around them was unusually dark even for the outer space. The further they went the weaker her captors became. Mira thought it might be her only chance but she was mistaken. She tried to summon her fire but nothing happened. Little did she know, she had already entered t
"Sacrifice who? "Braze forgot all about his mother. His hands were around Robert's collar and he demanded an answer. " That girl they took... that Chemorian... She... She isn't a normal girl... we cannot let her die. Her death will usher in endless darkness. A Darkness that no one will be able to ward off. "Robert was shaking so much Braze had to let go of his collar and hold him instead. "Mira? Are you talking about Mira? I thought you were a Watcher... why do you look so concerned about her? "Kian came forward. " I think he knows something beyond what we know... look at his eyes... "Robert's whites were gone when he had had his vision but they were gradually returning. " Kian, we don't have any time to lose. Let's get that Heartstaff and find Guardian Yvonne. Every second we lose, puts Mira at risk... "" They are waiting for the right time... "Robert murmured. " What? " Braze turned around to look at him with irritation. " They are waiting for the stars to align... with
