The Inferno's Claim A Possible Danger
‘Forgive me if this might come off disrespectful to you, High Queen. But should there ever come a day I am required to choose between you and His Highness… I hope you know where my loyalty stands.’Dominic’s words played in the High Queen’s head as she watched his figure disappear behind the door. His statement clearly showed his unwavering loyalty toward her son and implied that she was throwing him into a difficult situation. She also knew Dominic valued their relationship but would ultimately prioritize his allegiance to the Prince should the day ever come when his stand would be put to the test. An incomprehensible emotion flashed in her eyes but was quickly gone before anyone could see it. Whatever emotions swelled within her that moment… whatever it was, she was a master at masking it all up as her expression returned to one that couldn’t be read. Her gaze went to the glass that was still half filled with red liquid momentarily before averting them to stare at the middle of
The Inferno's Claim Moira
“What do I owe this visit, Fae Queen?” The woman asked, then continued humming and rocking herself on the chair. “Did you know?” “You might want to elaborate on that question, Zelda. And hello to you too, long time no see.” “Don’t act ignorant now, Moira. Nothing goes beyond your knowledge in this world.” Zelda scoffed as she moved to make herself comfortable on the only available seat she could find inside the single-room wooden cottage. It was also a wooden chair like the one Moira was seated on, with a small wooden table standing between them. Behind Moira was a double bed for her to sleep in, and the fireplace was on the other end of where Zelda sat. These three things were the only furniture found in the room. Zelda glanced around the place that hadn’t changed since the last time she was there and shook her head. “If I didn’t know better, I would think you were banished from civilization to settle in the mountains. How else do you explain what a former Queen is doing living
The Inferno's Claim First Step
“Okay, all seems to be going well so far. I don't think the incident from room 100011 will affect my stay here...” Genova muttered and sighed as she stood in front of the door to another room with a cart handle in her grasp. On this particular cart was a bottle of wine she was asked to deliver to one of the rooms in the hotel.It had been two days since her first day at the hotel, and no one had aired out the event she had stumbled upon on her first day. This time, she made no mistake in knowing the exact room she was supposed to go to, as she had made inquiries on how the number system worked in the hotel.As she pushed the cart past some doors in the lobby, the memory of her interview came to her mind.The hotel was indeed a luxurious place. Everyone was friendly and minded their business, but something about the place felt a little off. Genova wondered if she felt this way because of how Ashley reacted to her working at the bar or if her guts were giving her signs. Warning signs,
The Inferno's Claim The Unsolved Mystery
“Luna…” Kaden scratched his head, contemplating whether or not to ask the question in his mind. “Ermm… How exactly did Gen get back home?” Kaden finally found the courage to ask as he moved to stand beside Eva, who stood in front of a large painting hanging on the broad wall before them. The room was poorly lit, making the painting blurred due to the shadow cast over it. But whatever was on the painting… it seemed essential to Eva as she stood ever so still in front of it, staring like it had some connection to her past. As if she was trying to decipher a hidden message. The longer she stared, the more her mind raced with memories and emotions that seemed to be triggered by the artwork.About three feet from them was Karla. Eva sighed, not missing the confusion in Kaden’s tone. “Honestly, I am also clueless about this matter. I have been trying to wrap my head around the fact that just as she showed up unconscious in her room, Monica lays dead in front of my car a few minutes later
The Inferno's Claim Zoe (2)
“Hurrr!” Genova yawned as she stretched all four limbs across her large, soft bed. “Finally… It's the weekend!” She exclaimed with a broad smile on her face.Quickly jumping out of her bed, she hurried for the bathroom as fast as she could while muttering, “Can’t be late. Can’t be late. Can’t be late” till she stood in front of the massive mirror inside the huge modern bathroom.She steadily passed her toothbrush around her dental, doing her best to get that early morning breath out.She took the brush out of her mouth a few seconds later, turned the tap on for water and raised her face towards the bathroom's ceiling to gargle.As she swung her head back down to get rid of the water in her mouth, her line of view passed by the mirror, and a dark image suddenly appeared but vanished as quickly as it came.Genova had failed to notice at first as her face went down again to spit out the wa
The Inferno's Claim The Challange
“So here we are, the city park. What do you think about the place, Gen?” Eva asked with a huge smile as she rested both her fists on opposite sides of her waist."I think it's absolutely stunning and it certainly is large," Gen replied, gazing at the picturesque scenery that surrounded them. "Also, the view is breathtaking, and the fresh air is so invigorating." She stayed silent momentarily and then asked, “But what exactly would we be doing here?”Eva placed her right thumb and index finger on her chin, looking around for signs of fun. As she rotated her head, she saw that the people there were either playing board games, tennis or volleyball. There were plenty of activities to choose from, which was a relief because this meant the girls wouldn’t get bored during their time here.Observing the area some more, she spotted a small wooden cottage standing at the far end of the park.Eva stared at the cabin briefly before s
The Inferno's Claim Unfinished Business
The ball fell to the ground, leaving a round mark on Genova's forehead. Genova soon followed suit, falling to the ground with a loud thud and immediately going unconscious.“Someone, call an ambulance!!” A man yelled from within the crowd as people began to gather around the unconscious girl.“Gen. Come on wake up, Gen!!” Ashly repeatedly yelled, shaking Genova's hand in an attempt to wake her up.On the other hand, Zoe stood still at the other end of the table, holding her racket tightly and watching as everyone surrounded Genova.She had this terrified look on her face like she had just killed a person. Maybe she did. Her mind wasn't clear anymore as the only words that played in her head were, “What have I done?”~Meanwhile~Eva slowly approached the wooden shack as if something subconsciously called her. Getting to the front door, she pushed it open slowly and walked in.The once sunny day t
The Inferno's Claim Vulnerable
“And where exactly have you been?” A male voice sounded as Ashley walked into her house, holding her bag and shoes in her hand.The room was dark and shadowy with only small glimmerings of red light hanging from the ceiling. The person the voice seemed to have come from was sitting on a long round couch in what appeared to be the living room.“How's that any of your business Dominic? I'm old enough to go out wherever I want,” Ashly replied a little irritated. Dominic got up from the couch and let out a long sigh. “There have been recent sightings of Rouges around the hotel and in different parts of the city. My duty as your elder brother is to protect you from harm, but you're making it really hard for me by sneaking in and out of the house whenever you feel like it.” He continued, “I understand that you want to have fun and explore the city, but please be cautious and stay away from areas where Rouges have been spotted
