IMPRESS.

-

"Before, I had mistaken you for an angel but really you are as bad as Satan... Tell me, human, how pissed off from a scale of 1-10 do you think I am?" Master Maxwell's neck cracked as he angrily stretched it out, stepping towards me.

A crimson red had taken over each of his eyes as he glowered down at me.

I nervously stumbled back, "minus 1?" The sheepish smile which grew on my face after answering stupidly made him growl.

My eyes widened and in that moment, I realised it was probably the best idea to run.

But before I could lift my foot from the floor, Hunter aggressively yanked my wrist and dragged me close to his chest.

"You are going to pay for what you did to me..." he snarled, his eyes anchoring his speech by fading into a threatening black.

My heart skipped a beat as it pounded at a surreal speed, causing my panic to rise extremely.

Only until an idea popped into my head, allowing a smirk to creep onto my face and my body to roll out from his touch, "well then, only if you can catch me."

I stepped back, leant forward and rubbed my hands together whilst sending Master Maxwell the world's most challenging lip-bite smile.

Hunter Maxwell accepted the challenge with a dark and knowing grin.

He thought he was going to win but, little did he know was, I was the best at a game of hide and seek.

"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" I teased before bolting off down the corridor.

Hunter instantly sped off himself.

Seconds in and already my speed was nothing compared to his, I could feel him catching on, "once I catch you human, you won't ever see daylight again," I heard Hunter attempt to frighten me as I focused on the sharp turn I was about to take.

Once I turned the corner my focus had been on, I panted squeezing my eyes shut thoughtfully and tried my best to dig into my ability.

And just like an answered prayer, when I reopened my eyes, my wish had been granted.

I was disguised as clear air and completely masked by a shield of invisibility.

Swiftly, I slid and hit my back against the wall of the corridor, moving out the way and watching Master Maxwell run past me without a clue that I had stopped running.

I sniggered at how disadvantaged he was, trying not to laugh out loud when I saw Hunter at the end of the corridor, trying to decide which direction I had gone in.

I exhaled when he chose to go left and resumed to my original mission which was to find Xander. I was still fully aware that I was dressed in nothing but black lingerie but I would only change after finding Alexander.

Hopefully, my ability would not fail me and would help by allowing me to stay invisible whilst searching for Xander.

When I was about to walk off, the door beside the wall I was leaning against swung open and there fell from the room, a dead body of a girl ripped apart head to toe.

As if more of my prayers had been answered, right after the naked blood-dripping body dropped onto the floor, out sauntered Xander who stepped over the body carelessly and triggered a gasp to leave my lips.

The shock of seeing him must've stripped my mask of invisibility away because the small breath that left my mouth took Xander by surprise in which he reacted super fast.
