Chapter 10 ~~ Reconnaissance ~~ Ian could barely keep his eyes open, as he stood in a vast space of bright white light. The space stretched for over an infinitesimal distance. There was no end, nor a beginning. He felt weightless, yet heavy. Empty, yet full. Lifeless, yet brimming with life. These contradicting feelings made his head throb like his heart was in it. But then again, he felt serenity at the same time. He was greatly perturbed. ‘Where am I?’ ‘What is this place?’ Those would have been his questions, that he usually asked when he found himself here, but no, he had grown self awareness and already knew this was a dream. After about a minute of floating or standing, Ian observed as the scenery changed from a white boundless space to a terrain dotted with tall trees. He brought down his hands from his eyes, rapidly adjusting to the lesser intensity of light. The ground had grasses and rocks coexisting on it. Ian was very familiar with this place. This was in the woods

Chapter 12 ~~ What Could Go Wrong? ~~ After the chemistry class, they all proceeded to take other classes till the last period of the day. Ian could barely concentrate all through. The only thing on his mind was that he and Kira were lab partners and they had an assignment at hand. They had agreed to meet at her house after school today. He was tensed. The same thing for Chase. Just that in his case, he was petrified. He was also going to Mia’s house after school today. Saying he was tensed is most likely an understatement. He couldn’t help but imagine if her parents and brothers were like her also; aggressive and nonchalant. ‘What if they’re cannibals? Should I call in sick? No. she’d just drag me along anyways. I have to find a way to avoid her,’ Chase pondered as he and Ian strolled towards their side-by-side lockers. Both of them were silent. They didn’t talk to each other as many anxious thoughts ran through their heads. They opened their lockers in unison, stuffed their book

Chapter 14 ~~ Love And Loss ~~ Ian was rushed to the hospital and immediately taken to a ward, where he was treated and his wounds were tended to. The doctor and nurses were a bit stunned by the rate at which he recovered. While he was rolled into the hospital on a stretcher, he had deep wounds from big splinters. But just after cleaning them and giving him pain killers, the wounds had almost closed up. It mesmerized them. The white haired lad soon sprung into consciousness, gasping and gasping for air as though he was being choked. But thanks to his mum, Chase and Chase's mum — who's a nurse, he was able to calm down and recollect his proper senses. Chase's mum helped replace his drips and urged him to lie down. But the lad felt completely fine, he only obliged not to gainer any suspicion. His mum tried her best to hold her tears but they kept flowing like subtle waterfalls. She felt really bitter for her son. This would be the second time he'd be attacked by the same assailant.

Chapter 16 ~~ Search Party ~~ Ian helped his mum get on her feet and walked her to the dining, where she sat on a chair, resting her back with a sniff. He removed another chair from the table and sat in front of her, passing her a napkin from the table. “Mum, please, I need you to calm down and tell me everything,” Ian requested with a serious face and gentle tone. He wanted to know which ‘Selene’ she was referring to. If it was the ‘Selene’ he had in mind, then his missing sister, Avery, was right all along. Jocelyn cleaned the tears from her eyes, wiped her nose and then sniffed, trying her best to hold another round of tears in. Ian tapped his feet on the ground, time was going and they shouldn’t linger any longer. But he couldn’t complain, he knew the trauma his mom was going through and she needed time to recollect herself. Not like he wasn’t scared or saddened, he had just gone through some recent encounters that has made him to act rather calmly. No doubt the Mystic Wolf ha

Chapter 18~~ Hunters. Agents. Lycan. ~~“What the h*ll!?”Peter, Marc and the rest of Agents were utterly stunned. Their eyes were opened wide in bewilderment. They were more of confused than surprised though.They had caught a full glimpse of the Mystic Wolf the other night when Ian was attacked. So, there wasn't much surprise there. But for the fact that some people actually had the guts to face it head on with just swords, didn't make sense to them. They felt left out; there were things surrounding this 'killings and attacks' that were left in the dark.And weren't they supposed to meet Ms.Selene at this location? Or maybe they took the wrong route.Peter moved his neck left and right like a camera, scanning the terrain for his daughter. He knew they've come to the right place. This ongoing battle before them couldn't just be a mere coincidence. Maybe Ms.Selene could somehow manipulate the Mystic Wolf or something. He wasn't sure, but knew she and Avery were close by.~Over ten
