By the time I had gotten into the really expensive looking car with two of John's escorts behind me and by what he had said to me earlier, I know there are at least four others in a distance i cannot spot, i sat right next to Ming who had her eyes shut with dried tears on her red cheeks.
I did not know what was going on in her head and I wish I did. Her dad did not follow the same vehicle with us, i think he had some really important stuff that he had to attend to because he left before I even ended my conversation with Damien.
It did not take long before we reached our destination and I was glad to step out of the silence suffocating car. Ming stopped to say a few words to the driver and then pulled out her phone to make a quick call while i just stud in front of her current home, taking in every inch of it.
It was just like ever
Say what now?I stared at my best friend in slight shock. Okay i already knew he thinks i am crazy but i did not think it was that bad."You're joking." I said and she frowned."Take a good look at me Dian, do i look like I'm joking?"No.I closed my eyes and sucked in a deep breath. It was worse than I imagined. I could not let this happen. I would not let it happen."I'm guessing you don't know every thing then." Faye said this time.Ming shot Faye a glare and placed a hand on her hip, waiting."I'm not crazy." I said "everything that i told you in the plane is real and I'll prove it to you."I took a step closer to my friend and pulled up my sleeves, showing the both of them the marking behind my wrist."What is that?" They both said at th
My best friends looked at me like i had completely lost my mind. Faye sat up and looked deeply at me as if searching for some kind of a sign that i was telling a joke and Ming's eyes were wide in terror."Don't you dare think about it." Faye was the first to speak, standing fully more alert than she was before."It's the only way." I said with my head high, confident about my decision.In all honesty, I do not want to die. I was not ready to leave the world yet, for fucks sake I'm only nineteen! I haven't gotten to see the world yet. There are so many things I want to do, so much more of life that i wanted to experience, but if letting that go meant i could protect the people that i care about and every other female out there... Possibly even the world? Then yes i would give up my life if it meant no one else has to suffer anymore. No one else has to lose a child, or
"Freeze my flame?" I asked my best friend confused." Exactly.""I don't understand. ""You said that it burns right? Ever since this creature got inside you it's always hot?"" Yeah?"" It doesn't like it cold, right?"" Yeah?"" Then this should work."I groaned, tired of getting half responses from her. " Can you just cut straight to the chase and explain to me what you want to do?"" I think it's better i don't." She gave me a knowing look and that was when i remembered what George had told me.He had said that this demon.... Lilith, could hear everything around me, but it could not tap into my thoughts. So Ming was deviating from telling me more about this to avoid triggering it.Only being this close to
I had woken up with an excessive amount of pain in every corner of my body. My head hurt the most. My skin was on fire and i was having trouble clearing my vision.I looked around me as every thing started to become normal again. I was still in Ming's bathroom with a tick duvet wrapped around my smallish frame.Ming!I jumped up quickly and actually took in my environment when the memory of the previous event came up to me.Other than the thick duvet wrapped around my body, I was still on the same water soaked camisole and tight i had been wearing earlier. The cuffs on my wrists were still hanging there loosely with cuts and little washed blood that proved my struggle in pulling them off the hook.The tap were Faye had connected my wrist to was busted. I could see the material that was stuffed into the busted hole where the water was supposed to
I quickly picked up my hoodie and jeans with panic. Forcing them through my legs i grabbed my phone and rushed out of the room."Where are they?" I asked Jaime who looked much more calm than he should."Rock hospital." I cursed when I almost lost balance and fell. Jaime quickly helped me up before i could fall and cause more damage to my body. "Maybe you should stay back Deanna, I'll go and take care of everything.""No. "I did not have time for that. I did not have time for anything. Lilith said something about Ming when she appeared to me, what it was more than just a vile concussion like Faye had told him over the phone?I needed to start helping and not hurting, and staying home crying for my friend was not going to help anything or anyone so i had to go. It was non negotiable.
There is so much to life that people do not understand. So many things of an outstanding future that we do not have any idea of but instead misguide our opportunities of a life time.I was not in any category of the negligent but i wasn't given a choice. I was bonded... Again, hooked to a wooden chair that was giving me more back cramps than i already had before and having my life on a thread every single day.
Her words registered in my brain. My heart rate accelerates and I try to control my breathing.Hunter....Huntress....I shut my eyes for a second trying to plead with th
I am pretty sure that this young woman must have been tired of how deeply my eyes had been burning into her face. She looked bored, almost completely expressionless as she kept on twirling with the weird looking pocket knife in her hands.She paused and looked up at me. Her eyes cold with a deep void that could almost be missed."You said she was infected by a demon's venom. If that's t
