Lurking In The Dark 13 Time flew so fast and it was time to go home. Drev and I took the alternative way back home instead of the highway. We got out from school through the back gate, and took the path in the forest. "Aren't you afraid to meet tadalsi along the way?" He asked, struggling to not let the bike pedal hit him in the knee as he walked holding it by his side. "No," I lied. I was, but it was impossible to meet tadalsi here because they live in the heart of a dark…

Lurking In The Dark 14 I had to blink several times before I could adjust to the blinding light from my nightstand, coming from my snow globe lamp. There was a murmuring sound from the other room and a beeping sound near my ears, I turned to the direction. It was a nurse with a device that records the vital signs, where the beeping was coming from. "I'll call your parents," the nurse said before she ran out of the room. My parents walked in wearing a worried face. "How are…

Lurking In The Dark 15 "Grassi, I'm a monster." He was sad. I reached to pat his back. "You are far from being a monster." It's uncomfortable and awkward to comfort him but I owe him, and it's the right thing to do. "You saved me, you saved us. And Doctor Urnel said you have the strength of nine men, or could be more!" But although what I saw was only an exaggeration of what happened, I still couldn't get off my mind that the sight was baffling. Drev with pure black eyes. He…

Lurking In The Dark 16 Drev and I walked home through the highway since we haven't gone to the car company yet to buy myself a car. Although it would be a mile without the shortcut, I would rather walk a mile than meet another tadalsi along the way. I asked Mr. Lacna why there were tadalsis in the shortcut forest when it wasn't the ideal place for them to live. He said they were probably looking for a new place to live due to disturbance in their habitat which was unknown…

Lurking In The Dark 17 I sat by the door as I waited for the milkman to arrive. And he didn't fail me when his milk truck stopped in front of the house and he got out bringing a crate full of milk bottles with him. He shook his head in annoyance when he saw me grinning at him, knowing that I would only bother him with questions about Mierkova. "Not today, princess," he said unloading the milk crater and loading them with the empty bottles. I don't like that he doesn't answer…

Lurking In The Dark 18 I stood, looking at the cars in awe as I looked at them. Some reflected my appreciative face, the others didn't for they were painted matte. I had a car in my mind as we were on our way here, but as I faced the hundreds of cars lined up, the image went black and now all I could think of was the difficulty of choosing one. My parents were talking to a clerk about the paying system while Drev was idling near them, probably out of boredom because until…
