I heard a small ringing noise in my ear and then voices. The voices would get louder for one second and just suddenly get very low. My breathing was leveled and my eyes were closed. I felt a dull pain in my throat and my body felt heavy. In a few seconds, I opened my eyes slowly and the light blinded my vision. It did not take long and my eyes adjusted to the light around me and I realized that I was in a room. I was not far from the window and the bed I was on was not too comfortable. “She’s awake,” I heard someone whisper, and I looked in the direction of the voice. I saw two ladies and from the way they were dressed, they looked like nurses. One of them had a small notepad in her hand and a pen in the other while the other nurse had some medical instruments in her hand. I think I knew what was in her hands but I forgot the names. The one with the notepad was darker in complexion and kept a warm smile on her face as she approached me. “Hi there. It’s great to see you awake.” He
A guard stood at the door as I sat across Zayn. We tried to hug each other but were told to refrain from physical contact. So we only relished being in the same room as each other. I could smell his cologne and that placed a warm feeling in my chest. “So, uh…how are you?” Zayn began as he flashed me a small smile. He was wearing jeans, a plaid shirt, and converse on his feet. It was clear that he needed a haircut, his hair was getting longer. “I’m okay.” I smacked my lips softly. “Considering that I almost died yesterday and I’m able to walk around without assistance, I would say I’m peachy.” I tried to joke but a look of horror crossed Zayn’s face.“What!?” He reached for my hand but the guard said loudly, “No contact!” He withdrew his hands and waited for me to explain myself. “Well, um, I found out yesterday that I had an allergy.” “But you don’t have any.” He argued softly.“Yeah, that’s what I thought too. But after eating a few slices of bacon yesterday, I was almost singing
Usually, when I had visitors, I would be taken to a room to meet them. Other inmates were not given that privilege, it was only given to me because of who I was: the future queen of the demon people. Jacob who was my visitor for the day should have been waiting for me in the room but it was different this time. He walked with me side by side until we reached my cell. The guards were less strict and that let me know that either Jacob had them wrapped around his finger or he had some solid relationship with the warden.“So what do you want to talk about?” He sat on my roommate's bed and I stood with my arms folded on my chest. “Zayn said that you wanted to talk to me urgently, and that got my attention.”“The deal.” I walked slowly and then sat on my bed. I watched a smirk grow on his face and I pursed my lips. “You see,” He chuckled. “I knew that you would come around. But sadly, the deal’s off the table.” He said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Wh–what?” I asked him as a nervous laugh
Tap. Tap. Tap. My fingers tapped on the metal table. The room was cold and the air was dry. Artificial light lit up the entire space and a guard stood at the door. I was wearing my hair down for the first time since I was incarcerated. The gray jumpsuit that I was wearing matched how I felt: gloomy. I wanted to be hopeful, I wanted to believe without any hint of doubt that my sister would never do what Jacob had accused her of. But what if the vampire king was right? Jacob was not one to bluff, I learned that the hard way. So, yeah, my mind was gloomy.The noise of the door opening captured my attention and I saw Zoe walk in. She was wearing an elegant floral dress and had a blank expression on her face as she approached me. She then sat in the chair across from me, grabbed a rubberband from her wrist, and pulled her hair into a ponytail with the help of the band. When she was done, she flashed me a small smile. “Hi.” “Hi?” “Jacob told me to come and see you. He told me that he
I stormed off to the door but was stopped by the guard. “Excuse me? I would like to leave,” I announced, but he ignored me. I tried to push past him but he would not budge. He stood by the doorway and had a hard look on his face. This made me very annoyed. “Lara, we’re not done talking.” I heard Zoe say, and I scoffed rudely. “No, I’m done listening to how you f*cked up my life and hate me. I’m done,” I replied without looking at her. I was still trying to leave, but the guard at the entrance was being such a d*ck! He kept standing in my way.I groaned in frustration and pulled on my hair. I turned back to Zoe and folded my arms on my chest. “What do you want, Zoe? What else do you want from me? Because I really can’t give you any more of myself, you have taken it all and dashed it to the floor.” I did not want to be in the same room as her right now.She frowned and then gestured for me to sit down. I clenched my jaw and did as she asked. “I know about the baby.” Of course, Zayn
Today was the day that I was released. It had been a week since my meeting with Zoe in that room. She did as she promised and worked on my release papers with Ashton. Everything went smoothly and my case was not only closed but sealed by detective Stone.I was up and ready at 6 am to beat the queue of other prisoners who were also leaving. I said my goodbyes the night before morning because when it was time for me to leave, I just wanted to get up and go.There were people being released on the same day so I tried my best not to be at the back. We were all led to a reception where we went through a discharge process, which included having the items that were confiscated from us on arrival, returned. I was not stripped searched, I was patted down and then a senior officer read me my license conditions which I was then asked to sign. As soon as I walked out of the gates, I was a free woman and a feeling of relief washed over me. Zayn was the first person I saw, then I saw the others,
Two days had passed and Zayn and I had informed Bunny and the others about Zoe and about what she did. But we made sure to leave Serenity out because it was obvious; if we would have told her, there would be no way that she would have not told her brother. She cared too much for him.I also informed them of the deal that I made with Zoe to get released from prison. They all were just as shocked as I was when I first learned that my sister was my own worst nightmare. But I did let them know that I would be going nowhere and neither were they. I was not going to allow myself to get bullied by anyone again, not even my sister. We all agreed that that was what we were going to do. We knew the risks but we decided to go with our plan anyway. It was morning and we were all eating breakfast in the dining area. Ashton and Serenity were not with us, they had to go to some kind of meeting relating to their father. I believe that they were going to meet up with a lawyer concerning the will t
Hi there, It’s author Maze here. I am very grateful for all who are reading along as I create these episodes/chapters. It is an amazing journey and I have developed a relationship with each character. I would really appreciate it if you guys vote(Give GEMS), write REVIEWS, and leave COMMENTS(you can tell me your fav character). The book is approaching the end gradually and after the plot is exhausted, I might release bonus chapters for the festive season. Anyway, it would mean the world to me to hear back from you all!
