Alternate Ending: Chapter 4
Jason's face crumpled and stared at the wounds on his body. "Don't you think it's weird?" "What?"
"I've been kidnapped, but they treated my wounds."
"Yeah, I agree. What else could be the reason that they were keeping you alive?" Jason scratches his chin and looks at the ceiling seriously. "I don't know..." He continues, "They're trying to get something from me."
His jaw locked. We fell in silence. He looked at me again. "Where's Elaine by the way?"
I blushed. "She's out to get me food." I lied with a poker face.
"Oh," he nodded, "you're hungry..."
"Yeah. I crave something... sweet."noveldrama
He fell quiet. "Let's just wait for her."
Both of us agreed to 'wait' for Elaine before we escaped to my white mansion. Elaine has been kidnapped by them, and I woke up in my mansion after that with my brother pounding on the doorstep. However, a blaring sound of an alarm echoed inside, and a monotone and robotic voice spoke on the speaker. "Code 134. Code 134. Code 134. An alien got into the hospital. Be alert! Be alert!"
Alien?
"Shit, we gotta go now!" Jason hissed and removed the blanket from his body. "Hey! You're still
"Don't worry about me!"
"But-"
"Move, Jason! Or you wanna die in this place? My place?!"
The Hearteaters are here, and we're nowhere to being prepared.
Shaking my head lightly, I pressed a thin line on my lips and helped Jason from his hospital bed.
He groaned in pain as he tried to stand up. "Can you stand up?"
"Yeah..."
I panicked. "We should just wait for Elaine."
Jason chuckled without humor. "Yeah, and we're gonna die first before she comes here." "I wouldn't let that happen!"
Jason gazed at me. "Listen to me attentively. People inside in this mansion are most probably humans-slaves of Hearteaters. They have guns, and weapons, and one click of their guns or syringes at us, we're going to fucking die in a second. You got it? So we must move now." "Got it."
"Good. Now, help me up and we'll find a safe place first to wait for Elaine."
I followed Jason's orders, and still didn't tell him about my wife. His hands and chest were full of cast, and I saw his face flinched in every flex of his body as we moved from the room we were staying in. When we go out, we haven't seen a single human roaming around like the usual scenario I had seen when I first got here.
"Where are they?"
"Keep going, brother," Jason whispered back. His one arm was draped around my shoulders and we continued to walk in the hallway. The lights flickered on and off when we went inside. It was
like the climax part of a horror story that I used to watch with Elaine before.
I saw stacks of empty syringes scattered on the cold tiles of the floor. For what are they, in the first place?
"Watch out for the debris!"
Wait, do the human slaves have cannons?
Jason grabbed my arm when I almost stepped onto a broken cylinder. "What happened?" I asked.
He chuckled. "I have no idea."
"Someone must've got in."
"They have got in, idiot."
"And why didn't you tell me?"
No way the Hearteaters are this careless. This is not their strategy. "Jason, I have a bad feeling about this."
"Please, stop feeding me ideas to overthink, brother." The outside was so quiet that I could almost hear our breaths while walking fast. "If you think you're in danger, run," Jason calmly said. "We're still both weak."
I looked at him with concerned eyes. "And what about you?"
"It is my duty to protect the Moonstorm family."
"Shut up and let's just move. I will not like your idea, too."
He chuckled and sighed. "Speaking of you, where the fuck have you been?"
Before I knew it, a loud clang of the bell resonated. "Goddamn, we're like inside a horror house." "Jason!" I shrieked when a dark shadow appeared in front of us. Someone grabbed him from my shoulders, and I heard a loud thump on the floor. Hearing Jason's groan, I felt a sense of relief because he was still alive.
The lights flickered completely off and the whole area was dark. I could still see the moving shadow, but I couldn't fathom whether he's human or not. It's like a moving shadow... like a reflection of mine.
"Run, Tyler!" Jason shouted at me when the shadow was about to attack me. I took a step backward and ran as fast as I could.
Anywhere. I will run anywhere.
The shadow was still behind me when I glanced at it. Beads of sweat started streaming down at the back of my head. Cold shivers reverbated on my body but that smell of jasmine and lemon verbena-her smell.
How could I feel safe and scared at the same time?
The lights flickered on once again. "Elaine?" Jason's voice was heard. Fuck. I was sure I ran away from him, yet why am I here back again in front of him? Jason was sitting on the floor with widened eyes.
My chest heaved in and out deeply. "What the hell just happened?"
"Elaine..."
"What is it, J-Jason?"
"It's still there... at your back. It didn't leave... "I have never seen Jason look so scared in his life.
He was crawling away from me, like, even he couldn't take the sight of the thing behind me. I
saw glistening tears at the corner of his eyes, and he started shaking his head. "Fuck! No! No!" "Jason? What's happening?"
"She's fucking here now, Elaine! The prophecy is right!
"What do you mean by her? Jason?!"
But Jason shut his eyes forcefully. A familiar pain pierced through my heart. A voice echoed in my ears like a sweet voice of an angel.
'Don't panic. I'm always here for you, Tyler.'
I screamed at the top of my lungs when her sweet voice like an angel was replaced with demonic
laughter. 'Kidding. Your time is up, love. Let me show you how ferocious your wife can be.'
A loud bang was heard and before I knew it, my body collapsed on the floor. Vivid images flashed in my mind. There were bad memories of me with my family, and joyful memories with Elaine and to my new family in Stella's Soul as if it recapped my whole life. After that, it turned into pieces of nightmares... until the only memory left was me sleeping on a white coffin. And... finally, the combination of radiant and bland colors faded into the abyss of death.
; Did those bastards kidnap Elaine and did something to her?
"Shit."
My eyes were open, my eyelids were drooping, but my eyesight wasn't functioning. I could still hear the hushes of voices surrounding me. Rowan's voice vibrated through my ears. "Go to Stella's Soul and announce to everyone that the Silver Pack's Luna has fallen," his voice cold as ice, but the exuberant tone is evident.
I was still lying beside my brother when I heard the rest.
"... and that Eliane is finally resurrected."
