“It's not a prank, at least not this one."I didn't respond to him at all. I laid down and turned my back to him. “I'm sorry about everything that has happened, anything that we did that caused you pain, I don't mean to hurt you, it just turns out that we end up making you cry." He left after a while and I ate my food in a fucking rush. I had been so hungry and I wondered if I had to give up my pride and eat in front of him. I heard the revving of a powerful engine. It pulled me to the balcony.The red familiar car was parked outside and a chestnut brown hair appeared, she looked up at me and smiled. I was taken aback by that short gesture, through out the time we spend. I heard the big doors open and Vinx walked out.They spoke for a while. Vinx ran his hand through his hair like he was agitated. He folded his hand across his chest and he went back into the house.Nolaine turned to me and she walked to the balcony.“Do you want to join us this time?."I grabbed the rails till my k
FELIXI saw a movement in the corner of my eye and immediately I realized that we've been lured into a trap. Vinx stopped and yelled something, I couldn't hear him over my racing thoughts. I was counting the enemy and they had already surpassed three dozen.I tapped my armour and conjured a flaming sword, bullets flew past me from behind and it was from Nolaine's gun. I turned around to check Rainee's position and I saw her running towards where the cars were parked.The crop top she wore showed skin in her back and a certain tattoo made me freeze in the spot. I had my suspicions but it wasn't deep rooted, now I was paralyzed.“Snap out of it!." Nolaine yelled but even that didn't pull me from the shock. A bullet flew past my ear and I kicked into action, traded my sword for a gun and started shooting in the direction of the enemies.A grinade landed in front of me and I kicked it, sending it flying back to the trees. A loud explosion went off and although it felt like the last straw,
KALUM I wanted to knock before entering but she was angry at us. She made it clear by giving us the silent treatment. It wasn't the kind we were used to, this one was different.She was nonchalant about it, as if she had lost all her energy. I was scared and concerned about her. I turned the knob and the door wouldn't turn.I knocked but there was no reply. I evanescenced into the room. She was sitting on her bed, with her legs crossed and her eyes on the TV but the volume was on mute. There was no how she was watching that. She didn't acknowledge my presence at all. My heart beat was starting to rise. “Here..." I handed the cheque to her.She didn't take it so I dropped it on her bedside table.I stood there staring at her while she stared into the thin air." Rainee, I'm sorry." “Why won't you talk to me, I said I'm sorry "“Talk to me... Okay just look at me."I held her chin so that she would be looking at me, although it worked, her gaze was empty.“The cheque is four times t
Kalum was sleeping with me, his head was on my chest and his hands were wrapped around me like a vine. once again he looked so peaceful and innocent. I could hardly even breathe, I pushed him away and somehow he managed to not even move an inch.I twisted from under him but his hands tightened and locked me in my new awkward position. He was so vulnerable now, I could just kill him. How would I do that? Maybe I'll suffocate him with my pillow. That was a better idea than cutting open his throat. I finally wrung free from his titanium grip and got dressed. I was Thirsty, it was the only reason I was awake.***I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water from inside.I drank half the bottle and dropped it back inside. It took me a while to register that there was a figure sitting on the big arm chair. I jumped back and screamed. I thought it was the grim reaper that come to get me. He laughed, that laugh was very familiar.“Vinx."“It would be so easy to kill you Rae-ree."“Why
NOLAINEI knocked on Felix's door and it opened. I stepped inside, expecting to see him in the living room but he wasn't. “Welcome." I heard him say from the other room. I followed the sound of his voice and he handed me a cup of spirit. I took a sip and savoured the liquid as it left a burning trail to my belly, heating my insides. Felix always watches, always sees and always observes. It would have been no surprise he saw me coming from over a mile away, why he didn't see those Lantharns must have been because they used a special weapon. They must be getting too strong. Stronger than us. It made me feel inferior and I hated the feeling of not being capable. “What are you doing here?." He asked walking out of the room. He was wearing a red robe with a big tiger's face at the back. The tiger was a blood orange color and it looked fierce and fiery.“I hope it's about Intel because I've been waiting for hours to know the details of the attack." “I have an order from Vinx. "“And?."
I woke up in an unfamiliar room. I gasped and sat up, an arm was over my waist. I looked to my right hand side to see Vinx sleeping. He was naked under the sheets. I relaxed as I remembered where I was and how I got here. After we had sex on the couch, Vinx had carried me upstairs to his room and we had sex again, twice.I threw the cover off and started searching for my clothes. “Good morning." They were light sleepers, damn, nobody can breathe in their direction while they're asleep or they'll wake up. “Hey. Good morning."My clothes weren't in here.“My clothes are downstairs."" Why do you want your clothes?."“I need to go back to my room and have a bath."He raised the blanket up.“Come here, it's still dark outside."“No it's not. I can literally see the sunlight streaming into the room."He chuckled.“Forget about the time and just come."I stood my ground, even though the thought was inviting.“I need to start my day early. I have a couple of things to do."He dropped his
I heard knocking on the door and I instantly froze.“Good morning miss, it's me Cassie."“Oh, Cassie. Uhm, I already had my bath and got dressed, thank you."“Okay. See you later."“You turned into an ice statue when you heard the knocking."I turned to Kalum and gave him the side eye.“I was just nervous."“That was more than nervousness and why would you be nervous in your own house?."“This... Is not my house."“Really? Then why do you live here?."“Because I don't have a house and the both of you were generous enough to take me in for a short while."“So you really don't believe that this is your house?."I shook my head.I heard footsteps and seconds later the closet door swinged open. Vinx peeked his head into the room.“Nolaine has news." He said and disappeared.“I'll see you later, Rae-ree." Kalum said and when I thought he would leave, he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead and disappeared.It was subtle and I didn't want to overthink the situation. I went downstairs to the
The sound of a hammer hitting metal filled my ear as I neared the building. It was at the left side of the compound, it had two big windows in the front and a very large garage door.BOOM!I stopped in my tracks and tried to peek into the building, a guard said I would find Nolaine, Vinx and Kalum here. Here looked like a butcher house, sounded like a grinding machine.BOOM!My curiousity led me forward, the big door was open. I walked into to see Kalum kneeling in front of a big metal thingy, he raised his hammer and brought it down with what I felt with casual force but the boom vibrated every cell in my body.Vinx turned to me and he said something, but I could only see his lips moving... That was when I realized that the sound from Kalum's hammer had temporarily deafened me or was it permanently?.Vinx led me outside and there was a ringing in my ear. His lips moved again but I could only stare at him, he cupped my face in his hands“Are you okay?."I read his lips.“I can't hear
