Chapter 19: The Doorway To Another Planet

Jade woke up when she felt the breeze of the cold night's wind. For a moment, she lay there as if her soul just returned to her body. Feeling the extreme warmth and coziness, she decided to close her eyes as it was impossible for her to resist the soft pillows around her and the thick blanket which felt like heavenly clouds, but something urged her to open her eyes again as all of it felt like a lie. She blinked her eyes and rose slowly. She immediately looked to the candle which had melted all its way half of its original height, giving the only light in the dark room.

She lay there confused for a moment as she let everything around her sink in. She looked around and noticed that she was in a cabin... No, an old room perhaps, empty, some of like was never used in years. Even so, she felt comfortable and cozy and looked at the silky soft sheets that covered her body. Her brows crossed realizing the fabric was not old, which was opposed to her surroundings. She turned back to see the soft fluffy pillows covered in a ruffle sheet and inspected it, leading her to the conclusion that it was just bought recently.

She was just staring blankly at it as the memories kicked back causing her eyes to snap wide open.

"Where am I?" She asked herself, nervousness rising into her chest and making her breathe heavily.

"You're still in Alvarez," a voice from the distance announced.

Jade was startled at the sound of the voice and turned her head as she saw a shadow standing near the dimly lit entrance of the room. 'That voice,' she thought.

"Asher is that you?" She couldn't see clearly because of the darkness and her blurred sight which made her realize that she was not wearing her glasses.

"About time you woke up," the silver-haired guy walked towards her, the dim light from the candle was enough to let Jade freeze as she saw his handsome face. He's wearing a black turtleneck and distressed blue jeans that made his physique stand up in the dark room. His usual pony-tailed hair was beautifully loosened as if it were being treated well matched perfectly with his side-swept bangs to finish his looks. Asher stood there, looking down at her, his golden eyes narrowed for a moment. Jade didn't know what to do, she was still in the bed staring up at him, only for her to imagine that Asher reminded her of some of the models on TV. For a moment, her heart fluttered a little in her chest.

However, her eyes widened as she realized something, "Wait, what are you doing here? W-What am I doing here? Are you the one who kidnapped me?" Her eyes looked through the pair of glasses the albino wore. She waited but she got no response from him.

"Answer me!" She managed despite how nervous she was.

"Just what in the world is happening?" She asked almost whispering to herself without letting her gaze out to the albino.

Asher only gave her a stern look and studied her face, which made the girl feel awkward. "W-What is it?" Jade asked nervously and looked away at his gaze but to her surprise, both of them heard a growling sound which was coming from her stomach, it was so loud that she couldn't believe that it was from her! As soon as it was over, heat rushed up to her face, in her mind she was already screaming due to the embarrassment, she was frozen like a stone and couldn't utter a word as Asher was still gazing at her as if he heard nothing but was dumbfounded.

'Don't just stare at me like that! Say something!' Jade screams internally. She wanted to hide under the fluffy sheets of the blanket but then she just saw the albino crack a giggle, trying not to laugh hard.

'IS HE LAUGHING AT ME?!' Jade continued to scream inside of her thoughts. "Argh! This is embarrassing!" She cried and reached the nearest pillow and covered her face. She was blushing intensely and couldn't face Asher.
