"No!" Elijah said, his voice resounding in the darkness surrounding him as he lay on the bed. "You cannot be me," he moaned. He was struggling, writhing, and kicking in his bed. Sweat dropped away from his body into the white sheet that wrapped him up.Kate sat right by him. Elena too. Kate tried to put her hands on him to try and console him somehow, but Elena frowned at this. Her eyes were glaring with disapproval. "Leave him be," she said. "It's his battle. He is not dying."Isaiah continued to toss around on the bed, breathing heavily. His chest heaved up and down like there was an earthquake growing within it until he finally woke up, gasping for air as though he had been kept without it for such a long time. His eyes were unsteady, looking from place to place, but still unable to see what was in front of him. The light played tricks on his eyes. "Where am I?" He said, looking around to see the figures around him. "Who are you?" He got no answer, but the haze of his vision cle

Luke had his mouth slightly opened. Isaiah had finished telling him everything he needed to hear, and everything he needed to hear seemed a bit too much for him. Too much that a part of him wanted to scream "liar" at Isaiah. But how could it be a lie? He saw exactly what his friend could do. He saw him punch a man, sending him flying a considerable length. Calling him a liar would be announcing his own madness. And he wasn't mad. His eyes scanned the room from Isaiah to Elena, whose eyes burned with annoyance, and to Kate, who sat in the corner as gentle as a dove but as mysterious as an owl. He couldn't tell for sure, but her eyes seemed to avoid him. The more he watched her, the more curious he became about why she saved him and the nature of the soul behind those dark eyes."Is this who you really are?" He asked, still shocked, now ignoring the burns in his throat. Eyes on Isaiah now."Yes," Isaiah said, not looking down. "This is what I am. And I don't know if I should call myse

There was silence, save for the chuckling of Elena, which both annoyed Isaiah andhelped clear the intense aura that enveloped them. Luke moved uncomfortably as the staring between him and Isaiah went on. The chair he sat on made a fricative noise as it scraped the hard floor beneath it."Is that how you feel?" Isaiah asked, before turning to Elena to finally ask, "What's so funny?" The laughter had been going on for so long that he knew she wasn't laughing because of something; she truly couldn't help it. There had to be something behind the laughter. A reason."Nothing," she smiled. "It's just funny how people immediately change their opinions when they are put in a different position. Unless he saw it with his eyes, he would have still held his opinions of you as a bad friend for it. It's typical human behavior for you. It's why I stop having any serious dealings with nonmagical people. They all are incapable of understanding our plight. And because of that, I think they are dangero

"How do you know this much about them?" Isaiah asked, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He was burning up. Kate reacted strangely to the question, as if she had just been pricked by a needle. She flinched in quite an obvious way that Isaiah nearly said something, but he was interrupted by Elena. "I have a spy among them," she said, nodding her head confidently, emerald eyes as bright as the sun. "From my spy I know the things that go on in their little mousetrapof a group they call the Organization." One could hear the bitterness in her tone. "It's why I was able to call that meeting beforehand. But there is also an important thing to discuss with you, Isaiah." "Like what?" Isaiah asked, intent on really getting down to the core of the information."With the danger around now, and also because of the power you demonstrated at the Lobbes, I think you should start your training on how to use magic." Elena paused, waiting for someone to say something, and continued when no o

Jenny gasped heavily as she woke up. "Isaiah," she said as she drew air almost violently. The first thing she saw was the window in front of her, rain falling over its pane, and the water running down it. But there was the presence of someone else in the room. A shadow slumped just at her feet on bed, body on a plastic chair. They raised their head up, blocking the view of the window. There was a cheerful grin, but Jenny's view was not clear enough to see the grin on the face."You're awake now," the person said, a man. It was her father. He was trying to smile through his sandy beard when she saw him. Jenny did not smile back at him and so the smile disappeared and was replaced with an uncertain look, eyes seemingly bulging out of his skull."What is wrong?" He asked, spelling out his sentence slowly. He knew what was wrong.She did not answer. Instead she turned her head around, scanning the room. "Where is mom?" She asked, pursing her lips. There was a look of defiance to her as sh

Isaiah sneezed for whole three times. The cold was piercing his body like needles as the outside of the room rained thunder and water. He shook after, like chicken that had been deprived of the feathers of its body."The cold is getting to you," Kate said. Or more accurately, it was just was the sound of her voice. She was invisible. A sound lingered at the passage before the door to the room. The passage was dark as there was no bulb hanging above it so there was no way he could see there if it really her standing by the door. A cold fear hung over Isaiah's should as he remembered her chopping off the head of the Organization's agent. The dream clogged hus throat as he wanted to speak, but couldn't. Just right there in front of him, nested in the dark, a killer stared at him. And he could not read her mind."You've been standing there the whole time?" He managed to ask, clearing his throat and trying not to show that he was startled by her voice. He clencheed his jaw."I'm sorry i

"Well, I did not think you two would be talking about me like this," Elena said, stalking toward Kate from behind. There was some mischievous naughtiness hidden at the back end of her voice as she spoke. Isaiah could hear it and felt as though she was amused by the entire affair. Her eyes darted around like a playful child.Kate did not look back at her. But she was startled. Her voice betrayed it. "I thought you were asleep," she said. This was the most fear he had seen from the dark, jaded woman. In that moment, the look of the dark, jaded woman had been carved away."Did that give you permission to go behind my back?" Elena asked dismissively, even though she still seemed as playful as she was when she came into the room. "I'm sorry, my lady," Kate apologized with a slight bow. Her bangs fell over her face. She did not straighten herself up until she heard her master's voice. "Of course you are. What else could you possibly be?" She asked. Her words were cutting, sharp, a blade

Suddenly it felt as though Kate wanted to leave. Either that or it was a figment of Isaiah's imagination as he stared at her. It took a little while before he got to realize that his stares at her were causing her to be uncomfortable. He looked away, gulping saliva down his throat as she shook uncomfortably. Elena continued the story. There didn't seem to be any pity in her voice for her servant as she spoke, resting her head on the chair, relaxed, head kicked back like an intoxicated drunk."It is hard to actually tell where Maspers actually originate from. No one knows how they come about. The only thing people know is that they have an affinity for the dead. At that time, I had made a decision to go around searching for Maspers to kill. I was trying to rid the world of them." Elena's eyes moved away from Isaiah. He saw a slight disturbance on her face. "They had caused a lot of pain to people. And because of that I made it my life's mission to hunt them to the edge of the world."

"Yes," Kate answered, voice deep and solemn. There was a little crack that made Isaiah think that she was about to cry. But as far as he knew, that wouldn't happen. Not even if she was listening to her own story told again. But he felt a sort of awe that pushed him ahead to want to make an apology. For what? To answer that was impossible. "I am sorry," Isaiah said. "I am super sorry." He seemed as though he was pleading with her."You don't have to be sorry," she said, her voice still low like wind being blown in a rusty desert. "The past is all behind us. It is a crooked thing that could never be made straight no matter what we do or the choices we make while doing it. Forward is the goal. It is the only way we can go." Her face was devoid of emotions. Isaiah could not believe she had put everything in the past. But it was nearly two hundred years ago. A long time could heal deep wounds. That is what he wanted to believe. But he wondered if when she went to sleep, she sometimes c

"Do you think this would work?" Jackson asked Nathan, who was hunched over a laptop, his fair hair drenched across his face. He looked from a distance like a mad scientist working on a dangerous experiment. Nathan said nothing but continued to type. His hands were quick on the keyboard.Jackson was annoyed at the choking silence he was slapped by but continued to speak anyway. "You really think you can find Isaiah and Luke by announcing the situation?" The question hung in the air like a ghost everyone had been avoiding before. "Yes," he said finally, without looking at the young man beside him. "But it's not going to be as you expected. They will come to us.""What do you mean?" Jackson asked, brow raised. "What crazy thing are you even thinking about now?""I created this blog by myself," Nathan said. "And with the connections I have, it has been authorized by Google. With that I will send a notification to every smartphone in the city, except for those in this school at the mome
