After leaving the office, she stood at the foot of the stairs. She looked up and began walking up. When she touched the handrail, another memory surfaced.    Her mom was casting a spell over the entire house. A spell that will activate once they are gone.    Celeste's heart was breaking, and there was nothing more they could do. They have avoided their death numerous times, and it is time to finally accept it. But it was so tempting to run again, to hide, to just forget everything. However, fate will always be one step ahead of them.    "Lem, Beth, Lily, Mac," she called the Sparks. One by one they showed themselves. All looked the same, but their eyes and manner differ from one another.   

"She will be fine, princess," Lem said.  Serena thought differently. Lily may be invincible, but it doesn't mean she cannot be detected. "Lem -". "You have to trust her," he said quietly. "My sister knows the danger we face. We have been dodging death for quite some time, so please, trust her."  "Wait, Lily is your sister?" "Yes, Beth and Mac are my cousins," Lem replied. He was looking at them while they interacted with Nuru and Layla. It was rare to find them with humans, other than the alpha pair and Rena, it was the first time they had any human int

Supper was a success. The only leftover food that the two Alpha have prepared was coleslaw and garlic bread. The grilled meat and the rice were gone.  Nuru and Kaz were on dishwashing duty. Surprisingly, the jet had no dishwasher. When asked, Rooka said to remind passengers they do not have servants to do things for them.  "Why do you have bears as your pilots?" Serena asked. She was beside Rooka, who was talking on the phone. She was seated near the window, while the man was on the aisle side. She looked at the amount of paperwork he was reading. She shuddered, he must have seen her reaction because he raised his eyebrow. She shook her head and looked at Wayne for an answer to her question. "Ed and Ted? Yes, laugh, but it was their mom who gave the names. Father a

They did venture into the city where the statue of Lord Shiva was currently being presented to the public. While Nuru, Layla, and Megan were walking ahead, Wayne was behind the trio. Scanning the area as they walk.  The place was beautiful; since it was almost dawn, there were few people on the ground. Some were barefoot, while others were giving tribute to Lord Shiva. There was an air of tranquility that would make you realize how precious life is.  For Wayne, however, being in a sacred place was lost to him. What he did enjoy was the view of the Himalayas. The construction of the temple and the city at the foot of the mountains gave people an up-close look at it. With his eyes, he can see the jagged rocks and the slopes of the mountains.  He remembered climb

Wayne knew something was not right. After his near kiss with Megan, the air suddenly felt like everyone's eyes were on them. Not just him, but also the twins. They acted like everything was okay. Their body movements said otherwise.  Beta, we are being watched. It came from Nuru, who was excitedly talking to a vendor in front of him. All of them knew the dialect of the region. So it was easy for them to communicate. After all, being alive for more than a hundred years did have its perks.  Wayne! It was Rooka, and from the way he was shouting in his head, trouble was headed their way. Go back to the plane, now! For the love of... damnit Serena! Wayne could only close his eyes and breathe as he slowly spread his senses.  There were at least five enemies in the vicinity. They must have thought that Nuru and Layla were not too much of a threat. Then again, seeing how the twins are, who would have thought they
