Elaine
The memory of the young teenage girl named Elaine Ozark was a bit hazy. She couldn’t remember much except for the loud blaring of guns and people shouting, and also the warmth of Asher’s hands that cupped her ears.
Those hazy memories felt like a dream to her, like an illusion that her panicked self probably imagined, like what she did most of the time. But if what she experienced—those anxiousness and those fears—was a trick on her mind, then…
“Is this place a trick of my mind too?” She mumbled, one hand at her chin as she pondered. The amount of blood gushing to her ankle didn’t faze her anymore, much like the sensation of thick blood spraying on her body and face. The most she did when that metal scented liquid sprayed on her face as it poured down filling the membranous floor was a gasp, because some of the liquid entered her mouth.
“Ugh…” She wiped her lips with her clothless

(Asher’s POV)My mother, looked strangely estatic. After retrieving me and Elaine from the school, the three of us enjoyed the dinner in my late father’s restaurant. Just like me, Elaine was shocked to see the presentation for the dishes, and the amount which was surprisingly tremendous. We ateand chatted lighthearted topics, topics I knew wasn’t actually the reason why my mother ordered our servants to tend to us and brought me and Elaine to this high end family restaurant.After a fulfilling dinner, I began my interrogation to my mother.The first question goes simply like this, “Did something happen that you’re so happy?”My mother received the question well. Secretive and informative at the same time, she replied, “Indeed. It was something victorious to me, but it’s probably insignificant to the both of you.” My mother shot me a knowing smirk, a signal she would give me when she wanted only m

(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

NathanContrary to the ambience of the bright and cheerful summer evening, the secretarial office of the Chadwick’s firm emits a slightly gloomy aura. It came from none other than Nathan Michaelis himself, whereas, people could see his sorrow filling the office, and it came from him alone.“Mister Michaelis?” Abigail the assistant secretary for Mister Gary inched closer to the gloomy Nathan.“Yes?” Nathan dithered, obviously sucking the sorrow he was feeling in his heart.“Uhm…” Abigail became uncertain. Hesitating, she fumbled the edge of the work file she’s holding.“So, how is Miss Nikita?”The assistant secretary saw his eyes glinting again with sorrow, yet Nathan didn’t cry, he just bit his lips.“I…She still didn’t wake up, not yet. But, the doctor said that she’s stable.”“That’s a good news.” Abigail

(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 heaved a sigh, laying silent with my limbs sprawled on the wet and soggy ground of The Flesh.“I can’t believe I fell for that witch’s trick.”What’s more, I got irked every time I remembered that wench’s face when she laughed at us dying. But of course, she wouldn’t expect my comeback after I resurrected from my victory inside The Flesh.“Alright.” I steeled myself and sat up, taking off my jacket and t-shirt which was soaked in blood.I realized that I don’t have my hockey stick with me. Damnit, if only I have enough time to reach the bag.But fortunately enough, I still have the belt Kaiser gave me. While brushing the kitchen knives—I added one more because having two knife makes me look like an assassin holding a pair of daggers—and also checking the nails placed in the holes of the belt, I glanced at my surrounding.The region of The Fle

(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

(Asher’s POV)The sound of my breathing was unnaturally loud, and my hearing is mixed with a ringing sound and a blend of muffled voices as I felt my body being lifted. In my bleary view, I saw myself being carried by the stretcher. Some of the people near me kept telling me to keep myself together. I can simply say that my whole surrounding is a mess. Shortly after entering a vehichle, which I assume was probably the ambulance, my field of view became black.I woke up at the sound of the ECG bleeping. Halting my movements as to let my view sharpen so I can see better, I look around the room and saw the IV pole first, before I saw the silhouette of a woman sitting on a chair.Slowly I croaked, “Mom…?”My mother paused from what she was doing, as if freezing. Then, turning her head to me, I saw her swollen eyelids rose a bit, her expression is mixed with happiness and the want to cry.“Asher…” She stood up
