Chapter: Chapter 17Iris's POVIt's that time again. My pee break timeIf I'm going to escape, it's now or never. I walk out of the tiny room with my escort and enter the tiny bathroom."Uhh hi I need help please", I say and luckily he opens the bathroom door a little bit. At least he has manners. He peeks his head in and I slam the door as hard as I could, trapping his neck between inside and outside the bathroom. He falls to the ground unconscious, or maybe dead? I don't care, my adrenaline has taken over.I rummage through his pockets till I find a bunch of keys. BingoCarefully and quietly, I sneak through the hallway, no idea where I'm going. It's a straight path so I follow it till I see a door. I try to open it, it does luckily for me.It leads to a stairway and I climb it. That's weird, I expected more people to be here. I am not complaining though.It seems I was locked up in a basement deep underground because it takes a while to reach the top of the flight of stairs, but I do. I look arou

Chapter: Chapter 16Iris' POVI wake up, memeries of what happened earlier came rushing in. How long have I been here? I look around my surroundings. I wince, my neck hurts where I've been struck.I'm in a dark room, just slightly lit by a small dirty window. Cracked ceiling, dirty floor. It looks like a prison cell of some kind.The person that looks like Smoke brought me here. He even had the same power. Are they brothers? My thoughts were cut short by a voice."Rise and shine", the person who kidnapped me laughed. He has the same accent as Smoke but his voice is different, it made me uncomfortable. I notice his features, similar to Smoke but his hair is in a buzz cut, black hair. He had brown eyes and tattoos all over."What do you want from me", I managed to find my voice. "The little one talks", he laughs and bends down to make eye contact with me."Well you see little girl, I'm intrigued. What or who could possible make my little brother turn to a new leaf". He tries to touch my hair but I avoid

Chapter: Chapter 15Iris's POVI gently shut the bedroom door and let out a deep breath. Okay romance novels are not lying when they are describing first kisses. It's a lot magical than I had ever imagined. My lips are still tingling, my heart is still beating. Everything feels good right now.Wait a second. My first kiss is my stalker, how ironic. I want to kiss him again. Do I ask? Do I initiate this time? This is what I've been missing out on. I place my hand on my chest, trying to calm my beating heart when I suddenly heard a knock on my window.Only one person that knock on my window this high, so I open it. I don't see anyone."Come out Smoke", I laugh thinking he's messing with me when suddenly a stranger walked in. He has the same power as Smoke, he even looks like Smoke a bit. This isn't Smoke. I try to call for him but I was cut off with a palm over my mouth. No this isn't happening again. I try to struggle, not he pulls me out of the window.I still struggle to get my mouth free so I can

Chapter: Chapter 14Smoke's POVI am trying to make lunch for Iris, her kitten staring at me. But like the idiot I am, i cut myself while I was cutting chicken. How? I don't know. I tried cleaning myself up but Iris walked in."Hey....oh my God what happened", she rushed over to me which I found sweet. It's no big deal though, she was just bring dramatic. "Oh it is nothing. Just accidentally cut myself. I've been injured way worse", I assure her."I don't even want to imagine. Sit", she says pointing at the couch. "I have a first aid kit, I'll go get it", and she left the living room. It's really no big deal but anything to make her happy. She came back with the kit. Added methylated spirit to a cotton pad abd started cleaning. We both sit in silence"So, how did this happen?", she asked breaking the silence while still cleaning my cut."I was cutting chicken", I replied."Why?", she asks looking up at me."What do you mean why? Can't a guy cook when he feels like?", I ask laughing. She laughed in re

Chapter: Chapter 13Smoke's POVA few weeks have gone by and I've been ignoring the his calls. Iris doesn't like me killing, then I would try my best not to.She's moved back to her apartment but she allows me to visit once in a while. Not the creepy stalker kind of visit. We're getting closer, which I'm so happy for, but sometimes I can tell she either doesn't trust me or she is scared of me. Maybe both.Right now she's in college, attending classes. I wonder if she has someone's she's interested in there. I never went to college, heck I barely finished grade school. My days have been pretty boring without her here. I do still observe her from a distance but she doesn't have to know. Maybe I'll surprise her with a gift tonight. Living all alone in that apartment must be lonely. And she doesn't want me to move in with her.To the pet store we go.I arrive there and roam around a bit, deciding what kind of animal to get her. A kitten? A puppy? A bird? A snake? Maybe a hamster. I don't know, she seems l

Chapter: Chapter 12Iris' POV "You're breathtaking", he says staring at me. For some reason, I look away blushing "Thanks". Why am I feeling this way. Is it because he saved me? . Still, I shouldn't feel this way. But being with him makes me calm, surprisingly. I cough nervously. He's a weird guy, yet intriguing. "How old are you by the way", the question slipped out. He chuckled. "Twenty five. You?" "Twenty one". Oh so he's younger than I thought. "Hey, you said you wanted fresh air right? Want to do something fun?", he asks with a smirk. Fun like how? I find myself nodding. Curiosity getting the best of me. Immediately he lifted me up, carrying me like a princess, and slowly, we started leaving the ground. We're floating! I hold on to him tight, scared to fall. We go higher. And higher "Woah", I gasp, the view is amazing. "It's beautiful", I say looking down. "It sure is", he replies, but he's looking directly at me. I blush hard. He spins me around. I squeal and he laughs
