An uncomfortable silence settled between them, and Kai seemed to know that Atticus wouldn’t say anything. He should stop trying to get him to speak, but he wanted to know more.He knew that he could trust Atticus, knew that the man wouldn’t betray him, and so after thinking about it for a while, Kai sighed as he also stood up.“I guess I’ll keep that in mind.” He said and Atticus smiled at him, grateful that Kai wasn’t trying to force him into giving out information.“But, you’re not wrong about the kind of person you think he is though.” Atticus said. “If he’s meeting with you then that means that he has seen a future where something horribly bad happens and he wants to help.”“But the egotistical and lazy being he seriously is, he wouldn’t want to get involved with it because he thinks it’s not worth his time or presence.” He finished.Kai laughed, that was exactly what he’d thought. He didn’t say how Zane had made him feel like the weakest person alive, how Zane had found him so un

Kai ran his fingers through his hair, sweat was dripping down his temple, and when he looked at the small digital clock on his bedside table, he realized that it was only an hour past midnight.“What do I do then?” He muttered to himself, his mind going back to the conversation that he had with Zane Wickham, his heart still racing, he had no idea what to do about the massacre that was already bound to happen.He had thought that his plan was foolproof, he was supposed to get ready to put up the multiple barriers today with the calculation he had made in his mind of the likely places that the entities were bound to visit.There was also the case of Catherine’s pregnancy. Kai looked beside him to see that Catherine was sleeping peacefully, and he wondered why she had kept the pregnancy a secret from him.It didn’t take him long to put the pieces together, when Teresa had said that they’d gone for their usual girl’s outing, it had probably been the pregnancy that they were talking about.

“What are you talking about?” Kai finally spoke, his voice gruff and low, but he had managed to will it into being firm. He had already shown how pathetic he was to Zane, he couldn’t afford to show more weakness.“I’m talking about the destruction that’s about to hit your realm in a few days.” Zane responded while Zarus stood behind and listened, watching with a kind of hawk eye.“You know about that?”“Of course I know about it, what do you take me for?” Zane responded, and Kai didn’t say anything as he only remained silent because he had realized that he had no right to speak whenever Zane spoke.“But you were talking about how you didn’t want to—”“I just couldn’t be bothered about wasting my time with a man who thinks he’s strong when in reality he’s not as strong as my most trusted man.” Zane cut in before Kai could finish talking.Kai could see Zarus smiling proudly, and he knew that Zarus was the one Zane was talking about. He hadn’t even been as strong as Zarus? When he first

“The realm of divinity?” Kai asked, one of his brows raised, his guard was completely down as he saw no more need to keep it up. He stared at the man standing in front of him, and he couldn’t make sense of anything going on.He wondered when the impromptu meetings, and the dragging him to places he didn’t know when he had been in his bedroom just a moment ago would stop.Kai let out an exasperated sigh as he sat on the smooth ground, and it wasn’t until he looked down properly and let himself look at the floor that he realized how different it had been.If he didn’t know any better, he would have thought that he had been pulled up into the sky. It was a mix of blue and white, a soothing color that almost sent him back to sleep the more he stared.He felt as though he was being wrapped in a warm embrace, everything about the place screamed of calm, and he wondered why he had let a fake bloodlust fool him.Kai sighed again, he shouldn’t even be here in the first place, but these people—

Kai looked behind him to see that Catherine wasn’t there. He was all alone. His brows furrowed as a feeling he couldn’t describe settled over him.How had he made it to this place? He thought to himself. He had vividly remembered being in the bedroom with Catherine, he remembered hearing her talk about her plans for tomorrow, but suddenly, he was here.“Whoever you are, I’m really hoping on your behalf that you know I’m not the kind of person you want trapped here with you.” He said firmly, there wasn’t a single hint of weakness in his voice or demeanor.The sound of his voice echoed back to him, resounding in his ears as he looked around. He didn’t know where he was, but he didn’t feel threatened, but at the same time he knew better than to be relaxed.He knew that they were certain entities that had the ability to manipulate feelings, although he was sure that they couldn’t manipulate his feelings, he still didn’t want to let his guard down.Kai felt a sudden presence that made him

They made it into the house, and the dimmer went by faster than Kai had thought. He could tell that they were all going to fully switch into preparation mode tomorrow as that was the only day left before the event.Catherine still looked thrown off, she would occasionally get lost in thoughts, but he had been able to manage to get her back, and then she would join the conversation, but would get lost again.He couldn’t help but think that something was wrong, and while Teresa and his grandfather had advised him to let her say things whenever she was ready, he couldn’t wait and watch her bear the burden all alone.Kai wanted to be able to help, and there was no way he could if he didn't know what was wrong with her. “Okay, I’ve been trying to keep this to myself, but are you okay?” He finally asked.They were alone in the room now, and he had been sitting on the bed, waiting for her to join him, but she had gotten so lost in thought that she didn’t even realize it.“Catherine?” Kai fin
