“ Oh. Mr. Maxwell it seem not only she has beauty, but she also was smart “
He spoke as he glanced over to him. He could see that Mr. Maxwell was gaining from ear to ear. He saw Agustin approaching forward. He was standing behind Aurora. His hands trail the side of her back. She stifled a sound. He pulled her close to him. He wrapped his hands around her waist. The others follow suit. Wilson was amused at the sight.
“ What do you know of Adrian Taylor ? “
Wilson spoke out. She closed her eyes. She inhales and exhales. She had those strange memories playing in her mind. It was like she was there. The others could hear her heart racing. Brian was behind Franklin and Elroy. He placed his hands on top of her shoulder. He leaned closer to her ears. He tries to calm her down. He had his chest close to her. She relaxed slightly as her shoulder dropped down.
“ He is not what you think he is “
Wilson raised his eyebrow at her. The others stayed quiet. Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Sinclair sat down on the chair. She places each of her hands on their shoulder. When she does this, she feels relaxed. Knowing well that these two men would protect her. Protect her if something went wrong.
“ What do you mean ? Elaborate for us “
Wilson inhales and exhales. He couldn’t concentrate. Her beauty distracted him. He shouldn’t look anywhere else. He was married. He had a wife. He also had children of his own too. He could tell she was younger than him.
“ Someone else is impersonating Adrian Taylor “
He gasped at the statement. She sighs.
“ The Adrian Taylor that you couldn’t find in your database wasn’t recorded “
“ Because, it was as if he didn't exist. Not here anyways “
Wilson was skeptical at what she spoke.
“ Someone is hiding the truth “
“ And the only way to know for sure who the imposter is. Is to get to the source “
After she said that, Wilson stopped moving. Mr. Maxwell waved his hand at him. He didn’t blink.
“ Did time stop again ? “
Mr. Maxwell tilted his head. He looked at Aurora.
“ It wasn’t me if that’s what you think “
Aurora looked at him at ease. She shook her head. She knew that Mr. Maxwell thought it was her who did it. But, it wasn’t. The others didn’t move their spot. An unknown voice spoke.
“ It wasn’t Aurora’s doing. It was I “
An unknown voice spoke to them. They could hear the voice. But, they couldn’t see where the voice was coming from.
“ What’s the meaning of this ? “
Mr. Sinclair spoke. He tries not to cause trouble. Nor does he want to make a scene.
“ Do not fret Mr. Sinclair. I know all of you “
Their eyes grew wide. Aurora felt calm. The voice was familiar to her. It was calming too.
“ I have come here. Because Aurora already pass you half the message “
The voice grew louder. It only echoes in this room.
“ I do not have time for this. I will bring back the room that was destroyed earlier back to normal “
“ We cannot alert any humans. Nor should we alert the human government “
“ Someone is causing trouble. They wanted blood. They have already came “
Aurora closed her eyes. She knew who the voice was talking about. Her hands trembled at the news.
“ Please protect Aurora. Not only that you must protect Jerome Carter “
The voice spoke a person's name. The others grit their teeth at his name.
“ Why do we need to protect him ? “
“ He has already cause trouble to Rina “
The voice stayed quiet. Aurora called out to the voice.
“ Are you saying that Jeremy ‘ Jerome ‘ Carter is in danger ? “
The others turn their heads at her. They were shocked at what they heard. Why would a mere human be in danger? What does he have to do with Adrian Taylor?
“ I’m only here to pass a message just like Aurora is doing “
“ In order to know the truth, you must stay with the person who started all this “
“ You must let him go. If he stays in prison, he would be left unprotected “
Aurora understood what that meant.
“ In doing so, you will know who Adrian Taylor is. How Jeremy fits in all of this. Especially when it has to do with your precious Katrina Sawyer “
After the unknown voice spoke, it disappeared at the sight. The others were about to call out to the voice, but time moved again. Wilson saw the others looking at the ceiling. He tilts his head.
“ Are you guys alright ? You seem like you have seen a ghost “
The others turn their heads. One cough at the embarrassment. The girl giggled. The other two act like nothing happened. Agustin turned to face him. He nodded at his question. The others also nodded as well. After a while, Wilson sighs.
Willy Wilson’s P.O.V.
I find it strange. I don’t know why. But, something wasn’t right. I just can’t put my finger on it. After I met Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Sinclair, I sighed at their awesomeness. Their aura was to die for. I mean literally. I almost piss myself from their view. I shouldn’t take this seriously. But, I do not want to anger the two big men in front of me. I’ve heard my conversation with them. They too agree. They wanted to find information about it. I heard the name Adrian Taylor spewing out of their mouth.
I don’t know this man. There are countless people who would have his name. But, they want to make sure if he was the one. This was indeed a big case. The government recommended these two men in front of me. I obliged to what our president wanted from me. I have to make sure I don’t lie to them. If I lie, they would know. I just couldn’t figure out how. I sigh. I watch their movements. I knew they already introduced themselves to us. But, I could tell that the names that they gave them weren't there. They don’t seem to be ‘ Aragon ‘ and whatever name they say.
I played along with half of what they say. I didn’t want to anger them. Since, my president didn’t want me to cause trouble. Nor do we want a war coming. Even though half of the people of the political party wanted a war. One party wants a war. While the other doesn’t. I could tell which political party is which. One is red. Which is identified as Republican. The other is blue. Which is identified as Democratic. I shutter at the thought. I knew that we couldn’t avoid war. War is like a killing machine. It kills and kills. Until, there isn't anyone willing to protect their country and its people.
After a while, I heard a soft knock. That knock I couldn’t recognize. But the knock stopped. It went completely silent for a couple seconds. Then I heard the knock again. Cedrick came back. But, he wasn’t alone. It appeared that he was holding someone’s one. Darwin and Brian were concerned about the wellbeing of someone else. I followed their eyes. I saw a little glimpse of who it was. Its head was showing. Wilson spoke as the others turned around. They want to see who it was. They recognize Cedrick's knock.
The girl was shy. She hid behind him. Cedrick didn’t let go of her hand. The other five had smiles plastered on their faces.
“ Ah the hime is awake “
Brian felt the aura. He bowed down to her. The other four followed what he did. The girl places her hand on Cedrick’s arm. He looked back at her. He turned to face her slightly. He was giddy. His face was flush as a tomato from ear to ear. As Cedrick comes forward, the girl glances to the side. He came within a close range. Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Sinclair felt it too. They shot themselves up off the chair.
“ Wilson I would like to introduce you to a lovely lady “
Mr. Sinclair gestured them forward. He extended his hand towards her. She looked at the others. They nodded at her. They were telling her it was alright. These two are safe. They are friendly. She shakes her head. She frowned. Cedrick faces towards her. He bent forward. He touches her forehead. He gazed at her beautiful eyes. She didn’t blink her eyes. She was staring at him too. After a few minutes, she felt comfortable and relaxed.
“ Ah hime is very shy it seem “
Mr. Sinclair was overjoyed at the sight. Mr. Maxwell was over the moon. It was a blessing for them to witness a miracle. She came out of hiding. He waited. And the waiting was worth it. She accepts his hand. She placed her hand on top of his hand. He helps her walk forward. She walks gently. He was standing next to her right. Mr. Maxwell was standing to her left. She lifted her skirt up a little.
“ Hello there Wilson. I have heard great news about you “
The girl spoke in a gentle and soothing voice. After the little interaction, I was awed at her beauty. She was courteous in front of him. It was a sign of respect. I gulped at her. She heard him making a sound. She was pleased. The man tries to resist her charm. I didn’t want to make a move. Because I was a married man. The girl could sense that too. She didn’t go further in. I glanced at the two men facing him. Mr. Maxwell nodded his head. He knew who the girl was. It was second nature to him.
“ This is Aurora, our jokattal “
Mr. Maxwell spoke. Aurora lightly hit his arm in a playful way. I couldn’t understand Korean. It was better that he didn’t.
“ I assume she’s your daughter then ? “
I made a mistake. They stayed quiet. Aurora giggled at the male human before her.
“ Think as you may “
Aurora spoke to the man. I noticed the girl was different. She had silver-white hair and white eyes. It was as if it looked picture perfect. Like she was made of porcelain. She had great mannerism. She was polite.
“ I am here to pass a message “
Aurora finally said after a short moment of silence.
“ A message ? “
The others were surprised at the thought of it.
“ Yes, this was more concerning. You all were wondering about Adrian Taylor “
“ I could tell you are all frustrated at the thought “
Aurora spoke. She shook her head at what they mentioned earlier. She could see it through and through. The dog that was with Zara earlier was with her. They didn’t notice the husky puppy dog. She pet the husky. She wasn’t holding one before. But, it appeared at her hand. Well more like the dog shows itself to them. It was the will of the ‘ great one ‘. The term was emphasized. Their faces were shocked. More shocked was Wilson.
Her voice was soft and soothing. It was like hearing an angel coming down from heaven. She was so beautiful. I couldn’t help looking at her beauty. My wife wasn’t like her at all. My wife was pretty much average. And my wife’s figure isn’t that perfect. But, the beauty in front of me; she was the complete opposite of my wife. I couldn’t stop staring at her. I glance at Aurora from head to toe. I gulped and gulped at the sound. I felt really thirsty. My heart belongs to my wife. But, my body says otherwise.
If beauty has a boyfriend, I won’t be able to compete. Ugh. I do not want to cheat on my wife. She would kill me for sure. Not literally. But, she’ll make me sleep on the couch if she is angry. I sigh.
“ Oh. Mr. Maxwell it seem not only she has beauty, but she also was smart “
I spoke as he glanced over to him. He could see that Mr. Maxwell was gaining from ear to ear. He saw Agustin approaching forward. He was standing behind Aurora. His hands trail the side of her back. She stifled a sound. He pulled her close to him. He wrapped his hands around her waist. The others follow suit. Wilson was amused at the sight.

“ And the only way to know for sure who the imposter is. Is to get to the source “
After a while, I found Darwin and his friends looking up at the ceiling. I would pretend that they are weird. But, that would be hard. I sighed.
