Chapter 26: Chapter 26

"how's she?" Mr Anna asked Max who hasn't left Evelyn side ever since he got informed that she was in comma. The question begging for answer was who took off the mask from Evelyn that almost got her dead if not the nurse that came in to examine her and noticed that she was in critical condition.

"Same way but some improvements" he assured and she sighed a bit while staring at her daughter.

"I felt so close to her today like though she was whispering to me" she confssed in a sad tone.

"She's always going to hang in there for us Mrs Anna" max assured and Mrs Anna massageged her panicking chest over the incident of what had happened. Oliver had come in to check on Evelyn to give his condolences as he knew that she was a fighter and could survive absolutely anything that comes her way.

"Has research being carried out on the sight?" Max asked and Oliver affirmed to that.

"We found footages of footprint that doesn't seem to look alike as human form" max reported and he stood up to go out so that they could discuss on the issue. Max narrowed his gaze at Mac who swallowed hard to give a detailed explanation.

"No one believes what I've been posing"

"What's your guestimates on?" He interjected and Oliver wasn't certain if max was going to buy that fact too.

"That this isn't normal but paranormal as it might be relating to creatures like werewolves or witches..."

"That's enough Oliver, I believe you've got some work to attend to" he reminded and disappointments were written on Oliver's face, he told his hope had risen when max asked him what his thoughts were on but he guessed wrong. Oliver said his goodbyes and walked away, immediately he was out of reach, max pulled his phone gently and suddenly muttered to the receiver who he had called;

"Follow him". Max switch it off as his eyes darken at the path which Oliver took.

There was no need to get informed that Alex was arriving, his presence sent chills down and got her more agony as she didn't want anything to do with him at that moment. His leg mistakenly kicked against the bouquet of flowers and he picked it up while sneezing. Does he also have allergies for flowers with the way he held it like an alien.

"From the garden?" He asked and she responded with a yes and Alex could tell it wasn't but what was the use picking up a fight with her, he never intended to visit her most times but he was often attracted to her indirectly without realizing it.

"Your cheek..."

"Fine" she snapped in a polite manner but Alex could tell she didn't want to speak to him at that moment. He cleared his throat short of words to say to her as she claimed she knew more than expected but he felt it wasn't really much that she had an understanding of and didn't seem like a woman who would admit it either.

"About last night"

"It's okay, let's just forget about it" she cuts in again which caused a frown on Alex's face as he hated when one cuts him short yet he had to brush it off.

"I need to show you something" he said and she turned her gaze to him while lost for a moment as Evelyn wondered what it could probably this time and wished Colton was right there. He stretched his hand for her but she refutes it and stood up at her own will which made him fold his knuckles as he led the way. It was dusty and way old in this place as coughed while following Alex who seem to know every look and cranny of thus place. There were so many secret doors and places that made one travel to the world of imaginations. They arrived inside a dark room as Evelyn's vision was blurry, there was no totally ray from the sky which always penetrated into her room whenever Alex showed up. He grabbed her hand and placed a magical glasses which she could use to see in the dark. She could see books piled up in this place with potrait of people who she knew was never going to be recognized. This glasses caught sight of scrolls arranged neatly on a large tray and she smirked at it.

"What's the special thing here?" She asked disinterested by what might come out of his mouth before he even utter the words. What was the use of getting agitated in knowing happenings afterall it led her to Alex and co. He collected the glasses and set it right on her face for a clearer picture as he pointed into the blanket space which suddenly began to pave a pathway.

"Where are we heading to? She asked out of curiosity as Alex didn't look like one she could give her all her trust to just yet. He was silent while taking a step, she didn't want to go to along and hesitated but a force pulled her to move after him that she almost tumbled if Alex haven't held her at quickly.

"Watch your step" he cautioned and she jumped the steps in twos as if she touched them wrongly she might be swallowed up. What was Alex up to this time around.

"I'm still waiting for the surprise" she confessed her heart skipped wanting to see eagerly what Alex had to discuss with her that it turns out to be at such a place. At last, he stopped walking and opened another door, this time Evelyn rested her hands on the wall and glanced at the tensed Alex who just concentrated on what he brought her that moment for. All the nights she had stay with Alex seems to be one problem or the order, her only joy was based on the fact that he wasn't going to make love to her until she was ready.
