"Ooooh.... she's blinking her eyelids," the voice quipped abruptly, forcing me to open my eyes slowly and grudgingly."That's Dave's voice," I knew right away.My eyelids felt like they were stuck shut with superglue when I gently opened my eyes.My vision was blurry and hazy, as if the sun had set in front of my eyes, and they burned and hurt me severely. As I hastily covered my two ears with my palms, I could hear deafening sounds like drums being banged in my ears. "What's happening to me again?", I sobbed painfully.I was still In this pain when I felt a hand touch me. "That's Christine", I bubbled in my heart as the hand helped me up and gave me a tight hug, holding me tightly to her chest. "You asshole....you nearly got me killed within your two days of endless sleeping. You deserve a head knock", She yelled at me with a teary voice as she patted me on the head. Slowly, I forced my eyes open, only to find myself on a bed in a strange room, with water drips passed in

Freya's POV The joy of sitting comfortably in a car with AC, the happiness of listening to the radio station and driving along the highway made me feel like I'm floating on clouds.Everything seems so peaceful and calm, except for his presence beside me, I don't know how many times I had to remind myself that there's nothing wrong in letting him take care of me.In fact, it would be great if he could be my friend, someone whom I should trust completely and unconditionally. Someone who wouldn't hurt me, but protect me from harm.Even though I don't want to admit it, I feel it deep down inside my heart. Sitting comfortably in his car reflects back long time memories of me sitting with my dad the same way as this. The happy memories surges into my head like a tide, but the fact that it's nothing but ordinary pasts and memories made me gravely hurt and sad.I sighed deeply, closed my eyes tight as I tried to fight back the tears which welled up in them, trying hard to hold back my em

"Do we really have to go back there?", I asked him for the third time but he didn't reply, rather, He just sighed and continued driving. "What would be my response if I were asked why I sneaked out of the hospital without informing anyone about it?", I asked him again, this time with a concerned tone. "Especially Christine my friend", I bubbled that in my heart.It was by then that I remembered that I stole Christine's wallet, and this means I'm probably in hot soup. I trust Christine, she won't hesitate to give me a head knock before any sorts of explanations. "What if she asked me who this man is?, what would've been my reply?"I asked myself again, and this makes me feel more than scared now.I don't want people asking why I sneaked out at such an early hour, especially if it's to meet someone, especially a handsome man like this monster besides me. I looked outside from the car window, the sun was already setting and that meant another problem for me to face. Knowing

2 DAYS AGO IN GRACE'S HOSPITAL Since his long years of working experiences, Dr Jekyll had never seen someone with that kind of illness before. He was baffled and surprised to see a young lady at Freya's age to have such a painful stomach pain, so intense to the extent that she went unconscious within the time of two minutes. All the scans and tests done to her revealed that she was fine, and nothing's wrong with her intestines, and yet she was still in such a painful state and her life was deteriorating. Jekyll was puzzled and worried, it was his first time experiencing such a bizarre illness before. Being the director of Grace's Medical Hospital, he called on more of his trusted doctors to check on her, but none of them could provide a solution to her pain. He was in this case when someone brought him an idea of calling a doctor who was based on gynecology. Having no choice, He picked up the phone and dialed the doctor's number to ask for assistance. He was still on t

"It's been years that I've been hunting a beast like you. I've met countless ones who look like you but none of them possessed what I actually needed. And here you are, the Heavens sent you towards me when all hopes are gone", Jekyll whispered softly into Tigreal's ear where he hanged him, his two wrists shackled and his legs manacled.Tigreal was seen in a blue room filled with scientific apparatus. His legs were chained down and his wrists were firmly fastened to the roof.Drips linked to sets of serum containers were affixed to both hands and both thighs. Before it stood Doctor Jekyll in his lab coat and his lab goggles on, working on his experiments, and writing notes on a small pad. Bloods were dropping from Tig's mouth and eyes. He was barely alive as the poison was slowly eating away at the outside of his body. His heart was beating so fast it seemed like his lungs would explode out of his body. "Please....I need water, just a drop is enough to cool down my burning
