An old friend

Damian had thoughts about her for years, but then she married Jayer, who unfortunately died weeks back. He could not bring himself to ask her out of bed yet. But he had that in mind. He wanted to do it many times but held back. For now, he had to stop and concentrate on whatever thing was attacking them. He has a long time to proceed with it.

"Well, we notice that the creatures are distracted but not for long. So we have been using it to cover our scents as we try to evacuate the trapped people in different buildings. But now, almost everyone has been caught in the soulless web. " Evelyn looked at the woman before them and answered she could not deny no matter how many years had passed. She is still as beautiful as ever.

Jason stood between the group holding Alicia's hand, when he felt someone approaching him from behind. His senses were ever strong. It was hard for someone to attack him from behind. He turned just in time to see someone extending his arm to pat him on his shoulder.

The man shuddered by his gaze, took a step back, and gulped down his saliva. Those green eyes were scary. This time Jason activated his wizard eyes.

"Leo," Jason returned to his senses and looked t the slim young man before him. He had not seen him for months, and his appearance was a surprise. He was happy meeting his old friend and also worried at the same time.

"Yeah. It's me. You scared me. How could your eyes turn like that? You." he wanted to continue but was stopped by Jason. He knew how much of a talker Leo was. He could not stop even if he wished to until he asked everything he got in his mind.

"Yes. I will tell you everything later. Can you tell me what happened?" Jason wanted to know how everything happened in town. He was upset about his hometown being turned into a ghost town. But if they could not do anything, it would be the fate of many different towns and cities in the world.

"After the town went into turmoil thanks to Max and his group, many people left town but came back after a week when they got the news every supernatural had been dealt with. But the worst came 2 weeks later this white mist covered the town. Anybody that was caught in it turned into a statue. Most people didn't understand what was happening and went out to check. That's how they turned. Those who stayed indoors were lucky, but not when the creatures came after the mist disappeared.

They didn't kill anyone but touched them, and their body would fall to the ground soulless. They literary turned into zombies." Leo was narrating the story, his body shaking. When it happened, he hid in his home, but his parents were not as lucky. The hunters found him later when the creatures located him, and he had to run for his life. Were it not for him to get used to running from the bullies. They would've caught him. The hunters took him in and later brought him and the other there.

Thinking about everything, it seems it was all planned. Max was used by someone to instigate a war between the people and the supernatural. Later they went after him as well. It was a ploy to kill and chase them out of town before they attacked.

Max, Alicia, Jason, and now Damian, who had been listening from a distance, wondered if indeed it was planned. Thinking of everything, it happened too fast for them to handle anything then. The chaotic moment turned friends against each other as well as family. He looked at the others talking about fighting and the ones raising their hand to join in the fight. Some of the strong didn't even raise their hands and sat down.

It's always there that some people will cower when it comes to fighting. But who will blame them? They have the right to choose whether to risk their lives or be cowards and save their lives.

" don't worry. Things will be alright." Jason patted his friend on the shoulder. He then noticed a figure coiled up at the corner. She looked interesting. Like something was pulling him to her. It was a 15-year-old girl.

"Who is she?" he turned to Leo, and this time Leo was surprised. He looked behind Jason to see Alicia looking at him and turned to look sideways. He thought his friend was looking at another woman when he had one behind him. He was daring

He cleared his throat before answering. "Well. That girl was rescued, but nobody knows where she came from. She has not spoken work to anybody. We only know her name is Sally, and she is mute," Leo said, analyzing what he knew. "But there is something strange about that girl. She seems to be suffering from intense headaches and also nightmares. Maybe you could help her."

"Thank you. Let me check on her" Jason went to the end of the bunker, leaving room for him. The girl was sleeping on a small bed in the corner covered. The more he got close to her, the more he felt the sensation he felt earlier. It was like something was pulling him to her. The same was for the girl. She felt something stirred in her. She turned to see a handsome young man standing before her bed. She sat down in fear and crawled to the corner of the bed. She seemed to be scared of people getting close to her.

But she didn't understand why she was feeling closer to the guy before her

" Hi, my name is Jason, and those there are my friends" he extended his hand to greet her, but she just stayed there looking at him, then looked behind him to look at the friends he mentioned.

Looking at her, Jason had an idea of what may have happened to her.

She seemed to be from an abusive family, or she had been abused somehow

" Don't worry. I am here to help."
