WHISPERING SHADOWS & DARK PROPHECY
The Past Appears to be Resurfacing. (The Shadow & The Seeker)


"Oxyvi," it called out, sending a shiver down her spine. She turned, searching for the source, but found only shadows.

From the depths of the darkness, a figure emerged. Tall and imposing, he moved with a predator's grace. His face was hidden from view, obscured by the night itself, yet his presence was unmistakable. It was the enigma, the one whose name was etched in the stars and whispered by the winds.


"The time is near when the veil between worlds will thin, and I will claim what is mine."

Oxyvi's breath caught in her throat. She couldn't see his face, but she knew it was him. The air around her grew colder, the sky darker, as if the world itself was holding its breath.

"Why me?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

"You know why," he replied, his tone laced with a darkness that echoed the void in his soul.

"I will come for you, and you will be mine."

No Rest for The Wicked (The Shadow & The Seeker)

"Stop Denying my orders, this is the last warning." He threatened me and narrowed his eyes.

I shivered under his gaze, there was someone present beside Alec today, soon Lucas joined them and he told him about my little attempt to find my belongings.

"I don't find any sense in this order of yours, Mr Quinsley." I saw Lou's looking at me with watery eyes. "What you guys do to her and Alec why she is not allowed to see me." I demanded. "You aren't mute. Are you?" I said to her a little louder.

"Too many questions, Pretty Face." Alec Chuckled darkly and motioned "Eli, why don't you introduce our special guest with the surprise." He obliged "Yes, your highness" and gave me the box wrapped in black paper and one gorgeous red rose taped on it. I studied Eli's green eyes and tried to find any change in his expression but he was like a stone, loyal to his master alone.

"What is in there?" I asked Alec straightly and he smirked at me in return, my eyes looked at Lucas and he looked everywhere but me. At last, I looked at Lou and she mouthed "I'm sorry". I was hesitant because this box has something which either made me hate everyone or might I wouldn't be remain alive here to hate anyone.

Hesitatingly I opened the box, the thorn pierced my finger a little and blood prickled out. I threw the box cover and the sight made me a little tense after seeing the so-called gift. My heart thumping loudly in my chest but I still managed to control my anger.

"What is it?" I didn't know what they were up to, so I tried to remain aloof.

Alec Came forward and pulled out the diary. "This is the answer of why I cannot go with anybody else inside of that castle and the reason you aren't behind the bars yet from the beginning."

"I understand your apprehension, Oxyvi," Alec eyed me. "I do not wish to put you in harm's way. But I need someone who has seen the shadows of the past and who knows if, shadows would like to see you again." He eyed me in suspicion but dismissed it with a chuckle.

"That's merely some bullshit I wrote in there, you cannot just rely on my personal diary, Mr. Quinsley. I can happily go behind the bars instead of going with you and learning about that dead." I pointed at mummy and then glared at him. I took my diary from his hand, more like snatched and then disgustingly threw it at Lou. "You can have it and make notes."

I turned towards Alec "I am breaching out from your agreement in front of everyone and willingly wants to go to jail. And…" I paused and move towards Lucas "if words are not enough."

I took out the pistol from Lucas's band and was about to point it at Alec but his guards knocked me down, but surprisingly I managed to shoot at his leg, unfortunately the bullet barely even scratched his leg. "This might work." Looking upward I smirked at him. My Intention wasn't really to shoot him but I had to. I saw multiple sets of guns pointed at me and His body guards covered him. Lucas snatched the pistol out of my hand and crouched down to my level. "You are digging your own grave."

"Fuck Off" I spit on his face. He didn't take it nicely as he slapped hard on my face. I felt too much hate for all the people present in the hall, everybody was just looking at my demise. I felt so helpless, I wanted to protest but then I heard him ordering his men to threw me inside of the jail. And I was so happy. They dragged me like a filthy rag when I willingly wanted to go.
