Apartment 103

Kail Luxury Building Atlantis, Greece

Destruction. Building collapsed. Fire rummaging through forests burning everything to the ground. Tsunami's taller than the ones world has ever seen. Rivers of water drying. Replaced by rivers of blood. a red hex around the globe. A new reality. Deaths. It isn't destruction. It is the death of a world.

"This isn't natural." - Kai

"With her death I avenge you brother."

"Every piece of my soul will love you."

"now what I heard about parents is they give life for you and will take away a life for you."

"if you don't help me, he dies. And if he dies so does your precious niece."

"And it will be the last full moon."

"Nik." "Nik." "Hey."

Growing up in an orphanage sharing rooms with bullies made Tom a light sleeper. He felt the shuffling but decided not to care about it. Nikol has insomnia and it is a habit of him to shuffle trying to find a perfect spot while reading some book.

Then he started to hear deep breathing. Tom opened one eye. He was facing his back to Nikol, but he couldn't see any light in the room. which means Nikol wasn't reading.

The breathing started to change to whimpers and Tom turned around.

The temperature spell in the room makes the room feel like winter when it was hot summer. But Nikol was sweating. Curled up in a ball, there were tears falling down his cheeks. His nails digging deep into his palms.

Tom isn't new to nightmares. But he never saw Nikol having a nightmare. Maybe because Nikol almost never sleeps.

Nikol started sobbing. Tom shook him calling his name.

Nikol sat up on the bed with a gasp. The itchiness in his eyes tells that he has cried a lot. His vision was blurry. Nikol couldn't remember much about the visions he saw. But he is sure that sitting right in front of him was Tom with a scared look.

That worried Nikol. Normally in a magic out or during a powerful vision, Nikol's beast face will come out. And if Tom saw it, he has no choice but to erase Tom's memory.

"Are you okay?" Tom asked wiping away Nikol's tears. So, he must have woken up before the vision was completed. "A nightmare. Don't worry." Nikol forced out a smile.

"Your eyes." Tom said looking right into his eyes which again made him nervous. But Nikol has mastered hiding his feelings. "It's different. mismatch." Tom whispered. Nikol was correct. He woke up before the vision was completed. Tom woke him up before that. But now Tom has seen his real eyes. An attraction he doesn't want.
