As the minutes slowly ticked by, my eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the hallway. I could tell how he was having a hard time from his unhappy expression, but he was trying hard to hide it. I don't know what time he went back to bed last night, and then he had a nightmare. After that, he fell asleep in my arms again, though I don't know how long it had lasted since he woke up before me. The numerous worry bells kept bombarding my mind, and after a while, I started to approach the two guys who were engrossed in conversation. "Hey, does he look okay to you?" I asked Taylor as I pointed towards the bathroom, and he looked up from the screen. "Cole? He seems fine to me. Well," he trailed off, "he's doing as well as he can with the situation." "I did not get a chance to ask him how he was this morning..." I said as I stared into the hallway lost in thought. It wouldn't surprise me if he was still feeling hurt, but I myself was also not sure if he wanted to talk to me or if he preferred

"Thanks," I said with a faint smile as we both landed on the ground. "Call one of us when you're done, okay?" he said, and I simply nodded. He then flapped his wings again and took off in a very strong gust of wind before disappearing into the dark sky. As I walked through the back of the alley to the front of the café, I could already see Darren waiting near the window. Since he had confessed his love to me on the front porch, I still had not talked to him, so it would have been strange if I had contacted him first out of the blue, especially after I had said that I would wait until he was ready to talk to me again. I walked and took a deep breath before opening the door, the soft ringing of the bell sounded as I turned my head, and he gave me a smile. I walked past the tables before taking the seat opposite him. "Hey," I greeted as I smiled at him. "Hey," he replied before pressing his lips together. "I... uh, I just ordered some food for you, the usual food you order." I gaze

As I watched the two boys climb painstakingly over the rocks and fallen trees in the forest. Though I could barely see in the darkness, however, it did not seem to matter much to Jesse since he was the one possessing my body, given that he was a demon who could see well in low-light conditions. As my body climbed over the edge of a large boulder, Jesse complained, struggling to lift me up. "Jeez, Ray, you should exercise more." "Hey!" I shouted inwardly at him, and Cole chuckled softly as he reached out to help Jesse, who gave him a look that was a mix of annoyance and thankfulness. "Are you sure that you're heading in the right direction?" Jesse asked through my voice, and Cole nodded. "We're heading to the dead grass field. It should only be a few minutes walk away." He said while leading the way. "This body gets tired too quickly. Plus, I'm sluggish as a noodle." Jesse said as he grumbled. "Watch out, she might kick you out and beat your f**cking ass," Cole said with a chuckle

It was quiet. Nothing but complete dead silence. Silas gradually turned his gaze to Cole, there was a smoldering anger behind his gaze. "Unfortunately, Cole, I can no longer fully accept your offer," he started, and everyone took notice. "Because you owe me a favor." A look of confusion crossed all of us, but Silas' head slowly turned toward Kody. "I told you we would let them go, huh," he said as he pointed at me and the guys before a sinister gaze corrupted his expression. "...Well, now it is time for you to repent for your sins." The next thing that happened made the sound that came out of my throat choke. Kody then raised the large blade and stabbed it into Aunt Spencer's back. The blood-stained blade protruded out of her abdomen, while her face remained frozen, the shock evident on her face. "...Mom." Cole's voice came out so faintly that it was barely audible. "Mom!" This time he shouted while trying to sit up, and tears started streaming down my face. Kody then pulled out t

Taylor is pulled over in the driveway leading to my house, and I glance out the window at the orange sunrise in front of my house. Cole rested his head on my shoulder with his eyes closed, his eyes still red and puffy, and his arm hooked around mine. "Cole." I wiggled my arm, and he stirred a little before opening his eyes. "I have to go in for a minute, but I will be right back, okay?" He nodded silently before pulling himself away from me, and I opened the car door to walk toward my house's porch. I twisted the lock and slowly walked into my house. It was very quiet, but I could hear the gentle sounds of humming coming from the kitchen, so I slowly made my way there. There I saw my mom making breakfast while dancing to the music with her headphones, and she did not realize that I was standing in the doorway until I stepped closer and leaned against the counter. "Oh, good morning, sweetie. Did you just get home?" she asked while taking off her headphones. "... Yeah," I replied w
