Unspoken Vow [Namjoon FF] [SOF Prequel 0.3] ✔

Chapter 9

Anya completed her manuscript then straightened up with a smile. Remembering the cup of coffee she had placed on the side table, she reached for it, knowing it would have gone cold, only to be surprised.

Sitting in the seating room with the windows facing the sea, she had been immersed in completing the last few paragraphs, completely forgetting about her beverage.

Anya looked at the page that she had taken out and then glanced at the other seven sheets that she had finished before remembering the coffee.

Oh well, my speed must have gotten really fast.

Pleased with that discovery, she carefully kept the pages away and then leisurely sat back, enjoying the aroma and taste of the hot cup of coffee. She enjoyed the alone time she got, with Mira and So Hyun going back to their house after summons from their Grandfather came suddenly, taking Soyeon along with them.

Anya took her own sweet time enjoying the slightly bitter drink, as she picked up the newspaper to browse through.

Majority of the news was dominated by only one topic, the people eating up every bit of information about it, even while protesting against its establishment.

"Hybrids. . ." Anya mused, still not accepting that a discovery such as this at such a large scale was possible, "Well, judging by the way there are too many deaths about, they still have a long way to go in terms of stabilizing it."

This was a project which was leaked by a scientist who wanted revenge for being discredited, that led to it spreading out to the world as wildfire. Obviously, making this knowledge public had harmed the development that still needed to be continued, bowing down by the public oppression and insurmountable greed of exploiting this new idea even while condemning it.

Anya browsed through the various titles, and got stuck on the one piece of article which kept catching her attention for days now.

A poisonous snake hybrid brutally killing any who came close to him.

He was killed in the end, only for the same pattern to repeat with almost all poisonous snake hybrids.

Anya's thumb, gently kept rubbing the edge of the newspaper, while her eyes could not move from the words "Snake Hybrid"

She went in a trance, oblivious to her surrounding, while that word seemed to evoke a deep, deep sense of remembrance.

Silver scale edged with black undulating on the skin, white eyes with scarlet vertical pupils fixed on her with a deadly rage dripping with utter sorrow.

"You love me to the point of your own destruction" he growled, "And I promise, to completely destroy you, Princess."

His fangs glinted in the night as he clutched her hand in his grip, his black nails digging deep, piercing her flesh, "I will find you. And I will ruin you. Until they no longer think of separating us."

With a gasp of pain, Anya stood up from where she had been sitting, immediately clutching her head that was wracked with extreme pain. She fell down as she lost her balance, blinking back the tears that gathered in her eyes, rapidly losing the memory she had just gained.

Just what the hell was going on???

The pain went as quickly as it came, taking with it those anguished words but the strangeness from the word of Snake Hybrid still remained.

She tried recollecting it again, only for whatever she thought she felt, fade away quicker.

Must have been some old childhood story of some monster that I imagined.
