"Jhoom.... Jhoom...."

The wind outside is pretty noisy compared to the silence of the hospital room, which stretched like a thin glass, fragile and heavy.

Machines hummed softly beside Christian, their blinking lights the only trace of life in the darkness.

After dinner, since Christian is too tired, he fell asleep quicker than usual while still having conversation with Luna, even Luna didn't disturb him, as he needed more rest, time passed, he shifted slightly, half-asleep, when....

Clink.

Something strange happened to reach his ear, a distant, metallic sound… like a chair being dragged.

Christian forcefully opened his eyes despite sleep begging him to sleep some more time, his eyes fluttered after seeing that the room was darker than before, no light, no sound beyond his quickening breath.

"Luna?" He whispered hoarsely, glancing toward the couch, as that's the place where she was sitting before he fell asleep.

But now it is empty.

His heart thumped hard, but still he tried to call

  • THAT'S BECAUSE I'M CHARMING

    ••NO POV••"Huh?" Christian looked flustered after hearing to what Rosaline has said, but she was same as always, "I know you heard me well, if you don't want me to say it aloud enough for everyone to hear, then...." "Let's go," Christian immediately got up from the couch, and looked at his aunts and uncles with an awkward face, "Well, I need some rest, how about we talk later?" Charles nodded his head with a grin, "Sure... Sure, go ahead." Lowering his head, Christian went upstairs in a rush, Rosaline followed right behind him, once inside the room, Christian sat on the bed with a sigh, "Day by day you're teasing me too much, did you see the way uncle looked at me? I'm too embarrassed!" "It's not my fault," she sat beside him and softly placed her hand on his shoulder as if she was trying to overpower him, "It's you who is out of control and I should use my ways to keep you in control." Christian rolled his eyes, while muttering something deep inside.Rosaline didn’t move her h

  • THEN, WHY AREN'T YOU CLOSE ANYMORE?

    ••NO POV••"You’ve gone quiet for so long," Amelia gently said. "Only to ask this, my boy?" Christian looked at her with an awkward face, "Well, grandma, it's just I'm not sure whether to ask or not, but I was little curious about the relationship in between Mrs. Nevermore and you, since you both spoke to each other in a very warm way, that's why I want to know more, can you tell me?" The question made Amelia pause for a few minutes. After a moment, her eyes softened with nostalgia, then dimmed with something that looked more like regret filled pain. "Oh, it’s been… more years than I can count," she said, lowering herself gracefully onto the place beside him. "We met when we were about your age, two foolish young girls in finishing school, trying to prove who could outshine the other, very independent minded, ready to achieve many things...." A faint chuckle escaped her. "She was fiery, sweet, and quick-witted... I, on the other hand, was stubborn and bold. But somehow, that worke

  • I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU ALL

    "Am I here at the wrong time?"The voice automatically made everyone turn toward the doorway, and the one standing there was Mrs. Nevermore, elegant as ever, dressed in a soft silver outfit, a string of pearls glimmering faintly around her neck. Her presence always carried a quiet grace, the kind that filled a room without needing to say a word."Mrs. Nevermore!" Amelia exclaimed warmly, a smile breaking through the worry that had lingered on her face moments ago. "What a sudden surprise to find you at our home! How long has it been since we met?" The older woman returned the smile, her tone was light and affectionate. "Far too long, Mrs. Sargent, finally got time to see you, I almost thought you’d forgotten me completely.""How could I ever?" Amelia replied, gently clasping her hands. "Though we met only a few times, every time I met you, it was a wonderful moment, please, come in, you're always welcome here."Mrs. Nevermore stepped inside the grand hall, her gaze wandering fondly

  • I PROMISE!

    “Yeah, everything is fine!” “He can be discharged now…” A soft hum of voices stirred Christian from his deep sleep, his surroundings were no longer flickering or trembling to startle him, just bathed in the pale gold of early sunlight streaming through the large windows.For a brief second, he wondered if everything last night had been just a dream, the shadow, the red glow, the voice that called him my boy, almost everything felt unreal in the morning.He turned his head, blinking against the light, making sure he was in the same room, surprisingly Luna sat beside his bed, flipping through a set of medical papers, her hair tied loosely as a bun, while a faint yawn escaped her lips.“Good morning,” she greeted him with a bright smile. "Did you sleep well last night? Feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Christian was calm for a minute, while Luna gently spoke, "The doctor said you're fine and we can leave now, he prescribed only a few medications since you inhaled a huge amount of smoke

  • THAT AURA... IT'S HIS!

    “Ummm…” Christian tried to come up with an answer but ended up being silent, while Ezra crossed his arms raising an eyebrow, “you're not normal, your mother is not by your side to guide you, if you don't allow your father as well to help you, how on earth are you planning to control this power? Only the one who has a blood relationship with you can help you… We can't be ignorant though we are very well aware of everything!” The room fell silent after Ezra’s words, his ghostly glow dimming against the cold light of the monitors.Christian sat frozen, his mind spinning. “You already know,” Ezra had said the reason Christian to consider, but how could he? How could he seek out a man who had abandoned him and his mother?He stared at the ceiling, his heartbeat going on unevenly, his thoughts running wild.“My father…” he muttered, the word heavy and frustrating on his tongue. “Why now, after all these years? I don't know what reasons he has to be away from us, still, I and my mother suff
