• Chapter 2 The morning after their wedding night, the couple were busy working on what they had discussed even before getting married. Mira held a scarlet ring, as her husband imprinted a little diagram that signified something unknown on the ring. The diagram was heptagonal in shape with a line crossing over it from left to right. A sign they alone understood. *** Mira remembered all these as she held the ring in her hand. She was not ready to cry again. She had wept so much, that she no longer saw tears as an option. Facing the wind with great zeal to fight was, to her, the best thing she could think of. She heard a knock at the door and called for the person to come in. Her voice brought no sound, so she cleared her throat and called again. "Come in." The door opened and Michel emerged. "Am I welcome?" Michel said smiling. "Don't kid me girl." Mira said with a friendly tone. Michel hopped on the bed. "I bought some groceries on my way home. A

• Chapter 1 "Her Highness, Queen Betty, has raised the ban on robots and other high technology devices such as infomorphs, super AI computers, mind-distorter rays, and so many others, which were banned after their inability to respond correctly to orders late spring, last year. They are now back to normal and are... to... b..." Diago turned down the volume of his room's television. "Mum! The Queen has changed the laws on the techs!" Diago screamed from his room with excitement. "I know! Good news right?" She responded back. He jumped up and ran to his mini lab. He gently opened his door and halfway ajar, he slid in. He smiled as he stared at Demi, his robot which the connection was powered off mysteriously by the government. He had been working on upgrading Demi to be more human-like but at a point it began to disobey commands and even wanted to run away, before he was eventually powered off from CRHQ, a government lab that controls every high connect

• PROLOGUE The classroom was coloured blue at the bottom and had white on the upper part. All around the room were students in white shirt and red trousers. They appeared to be seven years old in all. They were seated on the wooden floor in form of a pentagon around their master, Master Yark, who had on a white garment with red head tie. Master Yark began to teach his students on the principles of becoming immortal criminals or as they call themselves 'Roaming Tigers'. "Yourself is the master of your destiny. Anything you need to be able to reach any height, is already in you. Consecration and concentration only can bring it out. Today, we move to the Melgushi, the test for the coming death mode. Tomorrow, we'll get to the final test before attempting Gustocano, the training that ends lives. A bare hand fight with Sacura, my pet." The students began to frown, because they knew what that meant - a fight with a real tigress- but they could not move an inch. They

Holly returned to Windland, with her mother. They had relocated to Zurcky, but the past had become the present and the present was now in the past. The plane ride was a smooth one. When they stepped out of the airport, they boarded a cab that took them to an hotel they had booked for online. Holly: I love it here momma. Janise: I know. I used to work here you know! Holly: wow, that's nice. Janise: (muttered some words) Holly: say what? Janise: never mind. ***** Janise handed a bunch of keys to Holly. She searched for the appropriate key, she could use to unlock the front door. Eventually, she found it and slowly tried it. It clang open, somewhat reminiscent of some scary movies, where as the door got opened, a beast or a ghost could appear. Then, they both entered. The room was too dark and it was tough to locate the light switch. Holly pulled up the sleeves of her silver coloured shirt, that matched her silver dyed hair. She brought out a Samsung phone and turned on the li

Dr Janise: oh no. She walked out of the Intensive Care Unit. Clouds of tears were already gathering around her eyeballs. ***** The next day, Mr Logan was taking his early morning beer. He had been fired from work because of his never-ending lateness. Life was so mean to him. The doorbell chimed. Logan: who is by the door? Voice: we have come on behalf of the government. Logan: I am coming there. Just hold on. Logan walked over to the door with his beer bottle still at hand. He opened the door to find two men in suit standing by the door. He looked further backward and saw three police vehicles with heavily armed officers kneeling with a knee. Logan heaved and smiled. Officer 1: are you Mr Logan? Logan: Yes, I am Logan Connor. Officer 1: we are from t.... Logan: weeeeiiit! I know who you are. And I don't care. You are here to arrest me because of a demon right? The alcohol had already affected his thinking ability. He wasn't thinking right anymore. Logan: Don't worr

Doctor: hello miss! Holly opened her eyes to see herself in an hospital she doesn't recognize. A female doctor was standing by her side. Doctor: I am Doctor Janise... Holly:   (whispering) my brother! Dr Janise: and you are? Holly: where is my brother? Dr Janise: calm down miss. Your brother is fine. Holly: where is he? I want to meet him. She began to rise up from the bed, intending to search for her brother. Dr Janise placed her palms on Holly's shoulders. Dr Janise: you just have to calm down. Your brother is fine. Please be calm. Holly: alright, I am calm. Dr Janise: thank you. As I was saying, I am Doctor Janise and you are? Holly: why do you want to know? Dr Janise: miss, just let's be friends okay? You can trust me. Holly: (feeling sad) allllrraaiittt. I am Holly Connor. Dr Janise: okay, so what about your parents? Holly: my mum is late and for my dad, it's hate. Dr Janise: awn, m

She gave one half to her brother and started to eat the other half. Dylan: sister, I am cold. Holly: snow is about to fall. Let's get to church quickly. Dylan: why do we have to go there now? Holly: we can't go home now, not now that the cloud is getting dark. Plus bad father might be home. Dylan: I hate bad father. Holly: I know, so we have to go to church. The southwind came and everywhere was freezing cold. Holly held Dylan's hand and soon began to run. The Church building was the next street and they had to get there fast. Dylan: sis..ter (trying to catch his breath) Holly: huh? Dylan: do.. you think we'll... The sound of the wind suddenly became l

Holly, a ten year old girl and her six year brother, Dylan endured horrific misery from their father. They knew not the meaning of parental love since their mother died, which made Holly see it as her duty to protect her brother. Logan, their father was a drinkard, that apparently hated life. He got depressed after the loss of the love of his life, Heather. They were happily married for ten years, before she got burnt in a gory vehicle accident. Logan learnt of her death and never got over it. Every day, he'ld sit to drink just to forget his sorrows, but the grief never seemed to move. It was as a thick cloud that was ever with him wherever he went. And he'ld cry like a kid, whenever he remembers that Heather was no more. Holly seemed like a demon in human's body, making him so much grow hatred for her brother and her. He hated the sight of them and anyday he sees anyone of them, he'ld make life hell for such person. One morning, Logan had been out for work very ear
