Kyra couldn’t answer right away, but she felt her blood rush to her face. Tyler stared at her, unblinking and serious-faced.
“Are you serious, or are you just kidding?” Kyra asked.
It surprised Kyra when Tyler stood up and approached her. He placed one hand on the table and the other held her chin to lift her face. Tyler leaned over without hesitation, without thinking that most of the customers might look at them, and the employees of the restaurant might watch them. He kissed her on her lips. It was a passionate, yet sensual, kiss. She could feel Tyler’s tongue swirling inside her mouth. Kyra felt like she was in the cloud at that moment. She felt her knee soften. Thankfully, she sat up. And there was something that tickled her in those moments. Tyler even sucked her lower lip before he pulled out. As if nothing had happened, Tyler walked back to his seat and sat there while Kyra’s reaction was still sho
“Ahm, who is that woman earlier? I didn’t think she was your auntie.“ Kyra said.“She’s just a friend,” Tyler said. “I called her auntie because she is way older than me.““Ah okay,” said Kyra. “Have you known them for a long time?”Tyler smiled. He could read Kyra’s mind. Kyra wanted to know how he met the woman? Why those kids were close to him and why the neighbors were afraid of Tyler?“Yeah, about two years, I guess,” said Tyler.Kyra nodded but didn’t ask, even though there were many questions in her mind. Tyler didn’t tell the story either. Moments later, they arrived at the restaurant. Before getting out of the car, Kyra asked Tyler again.“Are you okay with this?” Kyra asked.Tyler smirked. “Why are you so worried? Should I be nervous because of your reac
“What took them so long? What are they talking about?” Kyra asked Hugo, Damon, and Beatrix.They were looking out of the glass wall restaurant. They see Tyler and Luke talking seriously. Kyra was restless. She did not know what the two were talking about.“Kyra, can I ask you?” Hugo asked.Kyra turned to Hugo. “About what?”“Have you ever had feelings for Cael, you know, other than being a friend?” Hugo asked.Kyra was stunned by Hugo’s sudden question. “W-why did you ask?” Hugo just shrugged. “Well, I don’t know. We’re super close and it didn’t occur to us to have another relationship aside from being friends.”“What if you’re really in love with Cael and not with Tyler?” Damon asked.“How can I know? Also, it was impossible. Cael has no feelings for me and he’s my friend.” said Kyra.“They&
Kyra woke up that she was already home. She was lying on her bed. She sat up in bed and held her head. What happened earlier flashed back at her. After they defeated the demon, he seemed to have lost himself. Spontaneously, her mouth opened to eat the energy from the demon that had died. But something was preventing her from doing that. Kyra didn’t know who and why, but it didn’t succeed. Whoever that creature’s defense weakened, and Kyra ate the energy she wanted.“You’re awake ...” Luke said.Kyra looked at the door. Luke was standing and carrying water. Luke handed it to Kyra, who took it and immediately drank it. Kyra finished a glass of water in just one drink. She felt her throat dry out. Luke took the glass from Kyra.“Do you remember what happened?” Luke asked.“Just a little dad ...” Kyra said.“What do you remember?” Luke
“Cael!”The next day, it surprised Kyra to see Cael sitting on the sofa when she came out of the room. He turned to her, then smiled and stood up. Kyra immediately approached and hugged Cael.“Haist, have you taken a bath yet?” Kyra asked.“Of course,” said Cael. “How are you? What happened? ”“I’ll tell you a lot later,” said Kyra.Cael frowned. “Really?”Damon and Hugo looked at each other. “It will hurt you when you find out ...” Hugo said.Kyra and Cael turned to Hugo and Damon. “That the project you submitted you worked hard for a few days and your prof says it is wrong,” said Hugo.Damon bursts into laughter, and so does Raven. Cael and Kyra smiled. “Are you guys ready? Let’s go. The traffic might catch up with us.” said Cael.Everyone
Kyra and Cael stopped just across from Kyra’s classroom. Cael stared at Kyra, and the girl noticed it. Kyra lightly punched Cael in the chest.“What’s your problem? Why are you staring?” Kyra asked.“Nothing. It seems like something just changed in you,” said Cael.“Changed?” Kyra asked, frowning. “Is there?”Cael smiled. “Yeah, you seem blooming.”“Am I?” Kyra asked.“Yeah.“ said Cael. “Maybe I just missed you.”Kyra chuckled. “Seriously?”“Of course. Anyway, I just want to tell you something,” said Cael.The bell rang, and students rushed into the classrooms. Cael pulled Kyra and then slightly shielded the body from the passing students. Cael looked at Kyra. It stared at passersby as he bent down and stared at Kyra. When Kyra fe
“Cael, what are you doing?”“Are you looking for something?”Damon and Raven meet Cael in the hallway. They noticed him looking around as if he was looking for someone or something.“Did you see Tyler and Kyra?” Cael asked.Raven and Damon looked at each other before answering. “Y-yes, just now. Why?” Raven asked.“I saw them earlier as I was going down the stairs, but they suddenly disappeared,” said Cael.“Hey, what’s up? Why is there a meeting going on here?” Hugo asked as he came down the stairs and saw them.The three of them turned around and looked at Hugo. “Hugo, did you see Tyler and Kyra?” Cael asked. Hugo would have answered when he saw Tyler and Kyra walking toward them.“Why are you looking for us?” Tyler asked.Cael turned around and saw Tyler an
Hugo took them to the rooftop of the university building. They stand facing each other while looking at each other. No one speaks to them because of the tension between Cael and Kyra as well. The two did not talk, but stared at each other. They also look at Tyler, but Tyler doesn’t seem affected by that.“How do we know the second victim?” Raven asked.“Let’s just wait,” said Cael.“Wait for what?” Hugo asked.“Beatrix’s update,” Kyra said.“What if Beatrix doesn’t have an update right away and then someone dies again?” said Damon.“I think it’s like a chain message or something like that,” said Tyler.Everyone looked at Tyler. “What do you mean?” Hugo asked.“If it’s just a demon, how can he kill or persuade a person to commit suicide in just seconds? It’s a curse. We need to know the origin of ev
“Hey!”The vengeful ghost turned toward the hunters. They noticed the shock on its face; it didn’t expect they can see him. The hunters quickly split apart, and they surrounded the ghost. Damon let out a fire and crawled over it with the arrow he was holding. Raven did the same with her Katana. They can see the electricity sparking throughout its blade.“Who are you?” the ghost asked in a big, scary voice. It seemed to echo throughout the grave.“We are the hunters, and we will stop you from your plan,” said Cael.The ghost laughed. “Why? What do you know about my plan? ”“We will not let you open a tunnel from the underworld,” said Cael.It surprised the ghost, by what Cael said. It does not expect the hunters to know his plan.‘Tyler was right, it plans to open the tunnel.’ Cael thought.Cael pressed on his bracelet and pulled out his boome
