Myst's POV

"Where is he?" I smiled at the two girls whom I left with Dominic last night. They giggled and looked at me.

"He's sleeping," they said. I moved out their way and they walked out the penthouse, wearing some robes over their lingeries.

I went inside and my eyes widened. What happened here?

The coffee table in front on the couches had broken legs. I walked into the kitchen and the vase on the dining table was on the floor, shattered.

What the?

I went upstairs and looked for the bedroom where Dominic is. I saw him sleeping inside one and I walked in. Some of the pillows were ripped apart and the feathers inside it were scattered on the floor. The upper right corner metal pole of the canopy bed was bent, making the upper frame slope down.

Oh no. Aish!

Dominic stirred in his sleep. He turned to the side of the bed I was standing on and slowly fluttered his eyes open.

There were black slits in his eyes and his iris was color red. I backed off a bit when he glared at me, getting ready to fight back just in case he goes berserk and punches me or what.

"D-Dominic? Is that you?" I asked him. There was this scary and creepy aura surrounding him and I was actually scared to look into his eyes or go near him incase he does something to me.

He sat up on the bed and stared forward. "It's fine. I'm in control."

My body relaxed and I went closer to him. The aura he had earlier just got stronger as I went near him. I hate to say it but he's making my legs tremble.

"What happened to you?" I asked him. He sat down the edge of the bed and leaned his elbows on his knees and covered his face with his hands.

"He took over last night," Dominic replied, his voice getting muffled by his hands but I still can understand him. "I was like a monster last night," he said and we both laughed.

Kara's POV

I sat down on the park bench located underneath the big and old oak tree in this park. I licked on my ice cream and looked around and saw some families having a picnic, some kids playing around the playground and some people walking their dogs.

I haven't been to this park for a few years so I decided to visit since I have some spare time. I was like, 8 years old when I last went here with my father. We always go here on weekend afternoons to spend some time together. We would play around the green grass and buy some ice cream, then go and take a rest on this park bench and wait for the sunset. But the last time we went here, it was very remarkable to me.

-Flashback-

"Daddy, come and catch me!" I squealed and ran away from Daddy. He smiled brightly and ran after me, taking big steps to catch up with me.

I felt him holding my waist. I stopped running and he held me up in the air, sitting down and putting me on his lap. We laid down on the grass and looked at the sky.

"Look at that cloud, Daddy. It looks like a heart," I said and pointed at a cloud that was passing by over our heads. He looked at it too and smiled.

"That one looks like a snake," he said and pointed at a cloud that was a bit curly and long.

"Alex?"

We both turned our heads where the voice came from. I saw a lady standing in front of us, holding the hand of a little boy who looked older than me.
