Charm's world had stopped moving. She just went stiff and her mind went blank.
Her world was a passing haze and it was as if someone she was placed in an enclosed space and all she could hear were muffled sounds of whatever was going on outside.
The only thing she could see, was the name of Cliff on the comm device indicating that the call indeed went through.
"Did Cliff hear it? Was he listening? He might have been busy! He might have thought that Seeker had accidentally called him and hang up. That's what normal people do, right?" Charm continued to ponder in her head.
While Charm was going through the denial stage of the four stages to acceptance, Lara had a worried look over Charm.
"That was kind of mean. You should stop scaring her." Lara gave a frown.
Seeker held the comm device and flashed it before the pair to show the name and the time that has passed when the call started.
Cliff Fangwood. Three minutes and thirty-seven seconds.
A bit cheesy... but don't let it fool you. Seeker played a cruel trick here that even made the Adult him sigh... More on that later. But it is possible to discern what exactly happened based on the older chapters involving Zeraphine.
Just a heads up. I should have a change in the cover art for this novel. I asked a friend to help me out with a simple art-work. Hopefully, I should be able to post it before next week. So don't be suprised to see a different cover photo.
Also, the event that allows Filipino writers to gain more visibility and therefore earn more is still continuing. So please continue to vote powerstones or rate this chatper if you haven't yet! Help me make novel-writing a full-time job!
See ya Friday guys!
