They needed to run, to escape, to do something. But even at this point Lizbeth was frozen as if she was staring at a monster, her body was covered in goosebumps and she was trembling, at no point in time had Alice seen her sister like this, not when she faced against the shadow man. Not when they were running away…
Not even when they woke up in that basement so long ago, surrounded by darkness and with the ravings of the shadow man. But now? She was there, Alice could alm...

“Teacher! The girl that skipped the line is skipping class!” Was the first thing Alexa heard as they came close to the [Classroom] she had been assigned…by her own choice.
So far, the other classrooms hadn’t changed that much. While the other seemed better cared for, the difference wasn’t that stark.

Things….hadn’t gone as planned, the first problem was when Amelia had sent me the phone instead of merely monitoring it, she was confused as to where the thing had come since it had her Tech on it, and she didn’t remember making it.

“So, what are we supposed to do now Sis?” The blonde girl asked her as they walked near a dog park. Alice was wondering if Reginald would like being there, the small dragon-like entity had gone back to sleep after the fight against the shadow man.
Right now he was sleeping transformed into a necklace, “Nothing much to it, it seems that the shadow man can’t track us after whatever happened when we found our names.” Alice answered to her sister.

The room was dark, there was an undercurrent of tension in the atmosphere, the only sound that could be heard was the sound made from occasional bubbles rising in the inside of the giant vats on the middle of the room.
There was a row of dozens of chemical vats in the room, most of these were empty…Except for two at the center, on those two there were a pair of girls. On the left was a pink-haired girl, she was dressed in a white hospital gown and while her eyes were closed, she seeme...

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a wasteland, the ruins of buildings lying around him. As always, he found himself in the middle of nowhere; looking up, he could see no blue sky or stars. All that could be found at his feet were the remnants of a civilization, rubble from skyscrapers, and little else.
Walking amidst this wasteland, he soon found a city—the same city that had haunted him during these nightmares. He wasn’t sure why he kept having these dreams ...

She had been woken up in the middle of her cat nap, a quick look at the watch said that she had barely been sleep for two hours. The watch she had stolen a week ago and now rested on her wrist told her it was barely nine in the morning, too early for them to move.
