The Truth about Fireflies – A New Mark

Drained after work on a warm summer Monday afternoon, I pressed my throbbing head against the coolness of the carriage window. I plugged my ears isolating worldly auditory distractions. Still, I was unable to pass my thoughts thoroughly, so I closed my eyes and heave d a sigh.

The Covenant – Chapter 03: Escape & Antiques

As she had estimated, Kizuki returned by 4pm. Opening her front door, a distant but loud sound of shooting was coming from inside.

The Covenant – Chapter 02: Specimens

Opening the door to her apartment, Kizuki dragged the male inside. Locking it behind her, she left him in the lounge couch before running to get a medical kit. The strains on her muscles relaxed as she looked for the first aid box somewhere in her bathroom. His injuries had concerned her the most.

The Covenant – Chapter 01: Unwanted Proceedings

A soft and mottled pitter-pattering of water— the sound of a shower could be heard echoing in the halls of a small apartment. A feminine guise stood underneath the randomly rhythmic liquid as she basked in the warmth it provided. She ran her fingers through her fine but now wet long black hair before reaching for some shampoo. Her eyes spotted a permanent scar that ran from near her wrist all the up her right arm. It disgusted her; her fingers strayed to turn off the shower instead of grabbing the bottle.

Chapter 2: Artemis

Ariadne huffed as she stumbled up the stone steps and opened the front door before hastily dropping her heavy bag onto the carpet and allowing a sign of relief flow through her. Brushing back her light hazel-nut hair, she heard the wind and rain howling and beating against the house just a door away, and couldn’t have felt more relieved that she was back in her safe haven.

Chapter 1: Angel, Rise from Hell

The sound of the stilettos over the stairs echoed over the corridor, followed by a silhouette ascended up the stairs. The rustle sounds of the keys in her pocket that her hand was fiddling could be clearly heard with the dead silent along the pathway.

Prologue: Angel, Rise from Hell

Beautiful, full of aspirations, yet was once deeply hurt. She did not vow to revenge, but never to love again. Giving her all to build her career, which she believes that it will be the only thing that will never betray her. Jessica Ooi, an Asian lady who fought her way up in the world of media news, not only that she meets the one who hurt her in the past, but is now followed by someone who is obsess with her, watching her in the dark. How is she going to deal with the man whom she used to love deeply, yet killed the love in her together with her heart? How is she going to escape from the devil who has set the eyes onto her? What will happen to her fate?

Chapter 1: Artemis

Artemis returned to his room, and laid down on his spring mattress with a sigh, the pillow turned the wrong way and his hips mounted on the unmade blanket scrunched messily beneath him. His shades were half drawn, and the room was filled by the dim fluorescent light emanating from the small lamp on his desk. Classical music whined softly in the background – not that any of it really registered. His mind was a complete blank, his eyelids half shut, his glazy eyes fixated upon a particular spec on the ceiling. It was a haven and a prison – his dorm room walls were white and only about the size of two twin-sized beds put together, with a closet at the end, the dreary walls both sheltering and entrapping him. Occasionally he might pull open the blinds and peek out into the world, and observe emptily people walking here and there, sometimes playing tennis, other times idly loitering beneath the maple trees. On rainy days, he’d open the window so he could hear the plop plop of the raindrops hitting against the wall, and maybe feel its slight coolness. It didn’t bother him, the rain – he really couldn’t feel one way or another about it.
