"Master" A bald muscular man bowed fearfully before Lord Supreme. The dark-haired man raised his head and lit his cigarette.
"What do you want?" He asked knowing fully well the man was about to say something that he would not want to hear.
The other henchmen dressed in black around him watched him in confusion.
"M…Master…Master, the captive…we can't find Asher Anderson!" The man said as beads of sweat covered his forehead, shivering in fear.
Lord supreme widened his eyes and dropped his cigar stick, he clenched his fist; the ten dots on his arm glowing. He tilted his head to one side and smiled coldly and treacherously, narrowing his dangerous golden eyes.
"You wouldn't want to die a dreadful death, will you?"
"I…I don't understand how he escaped from the hospital. His wounds were not even healed yet. I swear…" The bald man quivered, tears already streaming from his eyes.
The dark-haired male's golden eyes bore through his eyes. "I gave you an order and you failed me?" He asked emotionlessly as he watched the bald man fall to his knees.
"M…master_"
"Silence!" Lord Supreme's voice boomed, "Take him away" he ordered the other men as they held him.
"I'll search for Asher for three days…" The man's voice said causing the men to halt "…And if I can't find him. Ill give you the most gruesome death as well as your wretched family, Carl"
"No!" Carl yelled. He was doing all of this for his family; if his master killed them, he wasn't going to forgive himself.
The men resumed in dragging him to the dungeon and Lord Supreme watched in fury. He angrily turned the table before him over with full force, destroying its contents. Then he roared with all the rage in his head.
It was the least expected glitch. That mortal had put a slap across his face.
Asher had escaped.
And there was still plenty of unfinished business.

"Whoa! We're late" Louise said checking the time. "Are you sure you can walk in those?"
"No…I can't" Ava replied wobbling in the stilettos "They're way too difficult to stand in"
Louise chuckled "You just arent used to them yet. Look at mine…see?"
She turned around in her silver five-inch heels. She had made her hair short making her look all hot and sexy.
"Okay…but I don't want to fall on the way"
"Yeah, I understand; wear something else instead" Louise replied.
Ava eventually settled for some wedge slippers which still complemented the look. Finally, they both entered a cab and zoomed off.
The party was situated at a local bar not too far from the area. Extremely loud music boomed from all angles, colourful lights illuminates the place, people danced in pairs, Ava caught sight of a couple making out furiously in a corner across the stairs. There was a drink-stand with neon lights all around, the red-haired female bar attendant talked to some guys smiling.
Ava wasn't really sure this was her type of place. The loud music was definitely not what she expected. But she was determined to have fun here and try new things; it was just for the night anyways.
She felt shy as a lot of people stared as they both entered; most of them male. What she wore was very catchy and with a shape like that, none could dare to resist. Louise was also looking quite attractive, but she was far more composed and was immune to all their stares.
"Okay were here" Louise said. Ava took a deep breath, trying to let out all of her nervousness.
"So erm…I should go get some drinks" Louise suggested.
"Yeah…that'll be nice" Ava nodded.
"We could go together" Louise said pointing to the drinks-stand.
Ava saw a large group of boys gathered there. She was not really interested in getting in the midst of them and feeling awkward.
"Actually…I'll wait here. I wouldn't want to disturb you and follow you around" she said.
"Okay…wait here. I'll be back in a sec then" Louise said and dashed there confidently.
Ava nodded and looked around once more, the music was deafening; it made her feel like her head was about to explode.
"Hey" She heard a male voice behind her and she turned around startled.
It was a tall blonde guy with spiky hair he wore a red tank-top and a pair of jeans. He was one of the people she caught staring at her when she walked in. the guy looked at her and smiled once more.
"H…Hello" Ava replied nicely.
"I watched you walk in" He said and came closer, then took her hand and kissed it "You look beautiful"
"Yeah…thanks" she replied withdrawing her hand from his and scratching her head nervously.
"So Im Skylar. What's your name, beautiful?"
"Ava…I'm Ava" she said.
"Okay Ava, so we could be friends, right?"
"I…guess" she said and he raised his brows smiling.
Ava looked around the drinks-stand for Louise, the place was crowdy so she wasn't able to see her properly. She needed saving from this very awkward situation she was in.
"Okay so…can I have your number Ava?" He asked staring at her flirtatiously.
"Number…?" Ava thought, she didn't even have a mobile phone talk less a phone number.
"You know what? Dont worry…come with me, let's dance" Skylar said and instantly held her hand and walked her to the dance floor.
"I'm…not much of a dancer" Ava said abashed. She kept her eyes fixed on the crowded drinks-stand wondering what was taking Louise so long.
Skylar ignored her speech and urged her dance instead. The music was even louder here, it made her head throb. Where in the world was Louise?!
A guy passed them with a tray of drinks, Skylar stopped him and asked the guy to give him two glasses. He handed one over to Ava.
"Here…you thirsty?" He said
"Actually…my friend left to get some drinks for me so…she'll probably be waiting" Ava said.
"Oh…I thought we were friends too…she'll probably be having a nice time wherever she is, you know?"
"But_"
"Ava…don't worry" Skylar said "You won't want to reject my kind gesture, dont you?"
"O…kay? Fine" Ava said and collected the drink. Skylar emptied the glass in one gulp and succumbing to his pressure, she did the same.
The drink tasted nice but there was something about it, it was a bit strong and made her feel dizzy immediately she took it.
"Okay" she said "I'm done now, I have to look for my friend"
Skylar blocked her path.
"Hold on a minute, beautiful" he said "Let's have one more drink"
"I seriously need to go, Skylar" Ava said, already frustrated.
"Just one last drink, I can't just let go of your face"
Ava rolled her eyes "Fine, just one last drink and Im leaving"
"Yeah" He nodded.
He brought another two glasses and gave her one. Ava finished it in one gulp. Gosh!-this one even felt stronger than the previous. She felt dizzier and it was hard to stand straight. What was in this drink anyway?
"B…bye Skylar" she said her words slurping from her tongue she motioned to walk out but staggered instead almost falling. Skylar caught her.
"Ava" He whispered then moved his hands to her waist.
"Let me go" She said wanting to push him aside but was feeling too out of control. It was hard to stand upright in this condition.
"How can I let you go so easily, beautiful
