"oh hum" mack cleared his throat to grab their attention after getting tired of waiting.
he forgot his earphone and was on his way to get it when he witnessed the scene
"oh, sorry" Isabella squeezed out of Jason's embrace and adjusted her hair strands
"hmm, lets go" jason said indifferently
"yeah" isabella said and followed him briskly
She's certain he was thinking about something, she could have read his mind if she wanted to but she decided not to invade in his privacy
knowing what he's thinking might only make things hard.
The reason she lost her balance was because her name suddenly started echoing in her ears
someone is trying to summon her so she felt dizzy for a second
she can't suddenly leave jason to avoid suspicion so she decided not to heed to the person's call
the person is her mother of course.
"hmm, why do i smell something brewing up here?" mack sniffed dramatically.

"Thanks for saving me earlier" isabella said , breaking the long maintained silence
"Don't mention it" jason said grimly and thought for a while before speaking up again "you would have done the same thing if i was in that situation, right?" he asked solemnly
"huh? oh yeah! i would" Isabella stuttered and looked away
"hmm, i smell lies in the air" jason muttered and chuckled lightly
"I'm not lying! i really would try and save you if i can" Isabella said sincerely
"hmm, I'd believe you then, a beautiful damsel like you should be pure and innocent both in and out" jason said
"what is this mr jason? are you suspecting me?" Isabella frowned
"of course not! miss Isabella, i apologize deeply if i sounded like that" jason apologized
"its fine, you should be wary of strangers anyway" Isabella said and in a flash, her blue hazel eyes changed to black and then changed to the normal blue again
Jason quietly watched her and tightened his grip on the steering wheel
"what is your aim Isabella?" he thought within himself

"How many more shoot do i have left?" Rush asked as he walked out of the studio
"just two commercials sir" Starry replied sharply
"okay, I'd take a break then" Rush said and tends to leave but started stopped him
"By the way, mr Larson! your mother is here, would you like to see her?" starry asked and Rush raised eager brows
"Where is she?" he asked hastily and starry grinned wryly before transforming into an average woman
"what the h*ck are you doing?! there are cameras here!" Rush almost yelled and the woman smiled confidently
"my face can't show on the camera, I'm sure you know that, i thought you wouldn't wanna see me so i borrowed starry's face for a while, don't worry i have her consent" mamarita said grimly and Rush pulled her into a room
"Why are you here?" he asked hoarsely
"com'n you shouldn't be harsh towards your own daughter" mamarita said indignantly
"I'm going to ask you for the last time, what are you doing here?" Rush asked angrily
"Don't be so angry okay? i'd go straight to the point. I summoned your sister but she wouldn't heed to my call so i came here instead" mamarita explained
"you shouldn't disturb her when she's on a mission" rush snapped at her
"i know right, i only wanted to relay his majesty's message, he asked me to tell her that she has just one month for her mission" mamarita said
"why? that's too fast! you want her to perish a whole family in thirty days?" Rush frowned angrily
"She has the energy of the boar so i don't see why she can't do that" mamarita said grimly
"shaman sara said she has the energy of the wolf, when are you planning to accept that?" Rush glared at her
"i never denied that, Isabella has two energies within her, the good energy and the bad energy" mamarita said and Rush frowned
"how do you mean?" he asked curiously
"We found out during the last lake rite, the good energy was brewed by her strong desire to use her superpower for a good will and the bad energy was brewed by her determination to become human again even if it means she'd have to destroy innocent human beings or perishing a whole family" mamarita explained
"so, is that a good thing?" Rush frowned and mamarita shrugged indifferently
"i don't know. remember her last horoscope that came out? her fate is kind of complicated" mamarita replied and Rush respired heavily
"mother.. ."Rush called gently, staring deeply into mamarita's eyes leaving her starstruck
"you are calling me that for the first time and..."
"Can't anyone stop this cruelty? i mean, can't you, i and Isabella team up and stop this family's yearly murderous act? must everyone in the person family get their hands stained with blood before becoming human? i can't bear it, i don't think i can" Rush said expressionlessly and mamarita frowned in surprise
"Rushian, i just sensed some emotions in you, i heard your heart beat twice" mamarita said still surprised
"Don't try and evade my question with a lie, can we not stop the yearly blood shedding your highness?" Rush asked grimly and mamarita sighed in frustration
"you aren't calling me mother again?" mamarita scoffed "and to answer your question, we can't!...nobody can!" mamarita said
"we can't conclude that if nobody makes an attempt" Rush said
"Every one who tried to make an attempt was slaughtered like a chicken by his majesty himself" mamarita clarified
"i have a question though, every member of the person family that has filled one mission or the other so far, we never hear of them again, where are they? did they really became human again or a these is a deceit to trap us? your highness, where is lana, our eldest sister who helped in destroying the Williams family last year? where is she?" Rush asked in a domineering manner and mamarita smirked
"you are becoming over smart and growing too fast my son, did Isa asked you to ask me those Irrelevant questions? well, whether its your curiosity or Isa, i don't have an answer to your silly questions, I'd see you later then" Mamarita said and disappeared without waiting for Rush to speak again
Rush blue eyes turned dark and he clenched his fist in anger, his long nails pierced into his palms and blood dripped down
"mr larson! are you okay?!" starry asked immediately she rushed in and saw blood dripping down from his hands
"Rush turned towards her in a brisk and grabbed her neck roughly.....
