INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 011
(Cameron Point Of View)I scrolled through post after post on Insta, delighted when I lingered at a couple's post. They were so sweet that I almost pressed the plus button, but my hand was seized and I looked up at my beautician, who shook her head at me."That's your primary account, you know you can't like people's posts without getting slaughtered by anti-ants,""I know that Natasha, thank you for reminding me, but just because I'm a celebrity doesn't mean I live to please everyone; I have a life, too, and I can like whichever post I choose to like,"She tugged my hair as she brushed it. "That's a full-ass speech Cameron, you had me fooled for a second,"I laughed and tossed my phone on the dressing table. Being a person was difficult, but being a public figure was far more difficult. Everyone had something to say about you, whether it was good or terrible, and they all wanted to contribute. "Do you want pizza? I'm famished," I said, putting my hands on my stomach."I'm only your s

(Cameron Point of View)I blinked away the lethargy while attempting to keep my eyes and ears attentive as I listened to my mother raving beside me in the backseat of the car, while my father sat in the front as the driver."Remember, Cameron, this is a major event for us, and you can't deteriorate it, so buckle up and solve whatever crazy crap you have going on with Blaze,"The mention of my soulmate managed to knock me into a poignant state. I looked at my mother. "Wait, Blaze is also going to be there?"She moaned in frustration and glared at me. "Have you been listening to a damn thing I've been saying, Cameron? If you screw this up for your Dad and I, you're going to get it,"I averted my gaze as the car came to a halt in front of a glamorous entryway, with picturesque light shining from within and faint music playing in my ears. I despised it, and the fact that I hadn't slept well in weeks didn't help.Being a model and a movie star was difficult enough, but now I had to play th

(Cameron's Point Of View)I waited outside in the parking lot, waiting for my driver, my shoes pounding on the pavement and my hands jammed into my front pockets.A minute later, I noticed my automobile coming to a stop in front of me. I jumped into the passenger seat, sighing loudly as I was finally out of that constricting gathering."Did you have a bad night, Cameron?" My driver inquired from the front, having already exited the gate and onto the chilly and lonesome street of the night.I gave a genuine grin, knowing that I could be myself with him. He had been my driver since I could walk and had begun my career as a juvenile actor."I simply want to get out of here, Uncle Charlie; it's asphyxiating.""You appear to have not slept in days. "When was the last time you ate or slept?"I parted my lips to speak, but then realized I didn't know the response. I couldn't recall the last time I ate or slept.He groaned and reached for the vacant passenger seat beside him, tossing me a pap

(Cameron's Point Of View)Nowadays, I was looking forward to returning home as I leaped out of the vehicle, disregarding Uncle Charlie's caution to be more watchful, and darted into the house, murmuring a series of sorry to whoever I nearly collided with.When I got to my room door, I hurriedly opened it and walked inside, making sure to secure it behind me, and there he was, the object of my obsession...literally.I tossed my backpack on the floor and approached the mattress, where the unnamed man was still comatose, his chest moving nonchalantly up and down.I pouted, slightly miffed that he wasn't awake yet. He had been unconscious for three days and showed no indications of awakening.I knew it wasn't anything physical or something a doctor could manage because his wounds had disappeared the day I rescued him, leaving no scar to signify he had been severely hurt.He wasn't human, I realized the first time I saw his enormous black wings. Obviously, he wasn't an angel, but I doubted

(Cameron Point of View)I knew I shouldn't have typed my name on the search the next morning but I did and now, I wished I never did.Stepping into the bathroom, I sat on the toilet seat, scrolling past article after article with my name boldly on each, rumors spreading globally about me cheating on Blaze.I let out a laugh at the absurdity. What was wrong with people? And surprisingly, there were edited pictures of me with some guy I didn't even know. Who spread these rumors, not only were they stupid, but they also lacked common sense.I almost closed the page when my eyes landed on an article about me cheating and using my face to get the lead role in the newest movie and the comments were...terrifying...most of them were death threats and they punctured through my heart.I immediately close the tap and blackened my phone. It never did me any good whenever I searched my name on the search bar. It did nothing but drain my energy and make me feel twice as worthless.I stood up and m

(Cameron's Point Of View)"You're able to discern my thoughts, then?" I asked with a grin, and I didn't notice when I took a daring step forward or when he took a step back, and before I knew it, I was maneuvering and confining him again against the wall, my hands on both sides of his head.His golden irises were amused, as if he was toying with me. I felt like the target rather than the hunter, but I didn't mind. It was so bad.Those eyes. Gold and somber were stunning and enticing in more ways than one. I couldn't take my eyes off them; they drew me in like a beacon."So, Pretty," I exclaimed, reaching out to trace a finger across his razor-sharp jaw, but he seized my wrist."Have you ever had a sense of personal space, human?" He didn't seem pleased as he lightly pushed me back.I sighed. "When you're incapacitated, you appear much superior. I could touch you anywhere I wished "I made a joke. Of course, I didn't dare to look under his briefs or touch the rest of his body unless I n

(Rhys's Point of View)"I'm back!"My head slowly lifted as the door opened and the human sauntered in as if he had run a marathon. I tilted my head from where I sat on the bed, leg crossed over the other, studying him as he panted heavily with his hands on his knees."You seem energetic," I observed. For a broken human. I wanted to add."I-I-I had to run the staircase and there were tons, I wanted to be sure you weren't gone. Fuck!" He clamored, straightening his poor posture. "I need to hit the gym,""With that body of yours?" I thought out loud with a scoff. "You'll probably be at the hospital at the next minute,""You know nothing about me,"I sharply stood to my feet, suddenly stalking toward him like a predator to his prey. I saw him flinch and I watched with satisfaction as he took a step back. I smirked. I was only a few inches taller but he looked so tiny like I could fit him on my palm. I crowded on him the wall, hovering my broader body over his smaller one. I stared down

Rhys point of view}The human world was a bizarre and thought-provoking place at the same time.Standing there on the pavement, I observed as humans and souls alike promenade the boulevard. Perplexing how ill-informed these humans were about the supernatural yet they believed in the whole soulmate bullshit. It was ludicrous.Watching the street, I didn’t know where to start searching for that stupid brother of mine, taking a mission without coming to me first and wiping all traces so I won’t find him. he’d better run.With a sign, I spun and returned to my tiger of a human.I stepped into the house, invisible as I climbed up the stairs and opened the door, the sight that adorned me had me pausing on my steps.Sitting there on the floor with the room turned upside down was Cameron, fingers yanking his hair, veins owning every part of his hand. The aura that fenced him was like a vile wave, it was imperceptible to the human eyes yet it would be asphyxiating for humans once they get clos

{KAI’S POINT OF VIEW}It was a Friday, so I left work early, picked Rai up from school, and we went to the restaurant. Once I parked the car, Rai and I stepped out. We were on our way out the door when my wrist was suddenly grabbed, and I turned sharply to see Ralph covered in a hoodie and glasses over his eyes.I beamed, “Ralph."He removed his glasses and looked down at Rai, who was looking at him with interest. “Who is this?”“This is Rai, my son.”His eyes met mine too quickly as if he had been struck by lightning. The expression nearly tugged out a laugh from me but I held it back. “You are married?” he blurted out.I shrugged. "Well, I have gone through two lifetimes without you; who knows how I will fare in this one?" Two could play the game, and he fell for it as his eyes darkened and he yanked me close to his face by the arm. He knew how I felt; he duped me into thinking he did not know who I was.“You are getting a divorce," he grumbled."Not in the presence of the child, Ra

[KAI’S POINT OF VIEW]Two lifetimes, three lifetimes worth of memories—they felt like a weight was placed on my shoulders—ones that were occasionally too much for me to bear.I recalled every lifetime I'd lived and every second I'd lived without having a clue where to find Ralph. Every time I failed, it felt like a needle was being pressed into my heart. This was my third life and I was 25. In this life, I worked as an architect for a decent wage, owned a restaurant with Rhory and Keir, and lived in an apartment in the middle of the city. Keir and Rhory were fortunate to have reunited as soulmates.They probably kept my memories to make me realize how much I was losing and probably laughed at my face as I failed to find Ralph in the lifetimes I'd lived. I sighed, slammed my pen on the table, and stopped trying to figure out a building pattern. "Dad." I raised my head in response to the tiny voice and discovered a tiny head with silver locks poking through the door. In an instant,

{CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW}When Rhys entered the studio, I fell into a daze. I could barely say a word as he assisted me in locking up the studio, escorted me to his car, and drove us to his penthouse.When we were in a close space and alone, I threw my arms around him tightly and cried on his shoulder. I did not want to let go, and then his arms softly wrapped around my hips and drew me closer to his body.I had no idea how long we had stood here before he began to withdraw and clutch my face. His golden eyes were fixed on my face, and his thumb stroked it lovingly. "What do you remember?" He grilled."Everything," I replied unequivocally. "And I'm sorry. You lost everything because of me." Just when I thought I was done crying, more streamed down my cheeks as my mind was flooded with new memories. Was this the reason, despite growing up in a loving home and being surrounded by people who loved me, that I had always felt empty and alone? I had never felt whole, and I could not quite p

[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]Many, many years ago, there was a world where everyone had a soulmate; some were fortunate to have been paired with the right one, while others were unlucky.According to what I have read, it was not always like that. Everyone was happy with who they were paired with until there was some sort of imbalance in the system and things got out of hand, and people started getting paired with people they were not compatible with. Soulmates abused and killed each other, but not anymore. Soulmates were becoming increasingly rare in the world I grew up in, and nowadays anyone could be with whoever they wanted without having to wait and look for their soulmates. When soulmates realize they love someone else, they usually break their bond.Well, my name was Cameron, a small-time painter with my studio in the bustling big city, and I did not believe in soulmates.Having a soulmate was not necessarily a bad thing; it would be nice to fee

[RAI'S POINT OF VIEW]As golden guardians, it was our responsibility to protect humans and ensure that they were happy with their soulmates, regardless of their background. It was a crime for a golden guardian to look away from his assigned human, and most importantly, we did not fall in love. It was an internal sin that resulted in an internal penalty. I recall the moment I realized Kai was in love with a demon. It was when he stopped wearing that cold face that the hardness in his eyes seemed to fade. He was more carefree and careless, and he was willing to give up his title just to be with that demon. I was happy as long as he was happy, but only if that demon shared his feelings.Kai wept before having his wings torn off and receiving his punishment, I recalled. Although it was inhumane to watch him suffer from the blast of thunder every hour, it was the penalty for an internal transgression. It took Kai a century to finally be born as a soulless human. As his best friend, I tri

[KAI'S POINT OF VIEW]As I watched him fall, it was like my heart was ripped out of my chest. I threw away my sword, catching him in my arms before he touched the ground. He continued to choke on his own blood. "YOU IDIOT! I TOLD YOU I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. I DO NOT REQUIRE YOUR FUCKING PROTECTION!!" I yelled and grabbed his wrist, hoping to share my energy, but he yanked it back. "What the heck are you doing? You are going to die!""It's f-fine." He replied in a wavering voice. "Death does not seem so bad after all," he tried to joke.If he wasn't dying, I would have strangled him to death myself. I grabbed his hand and transferred as much energy as I could, but the more I transferred, the more blood he choked out. "What's going on? Why is it not working?" Panic gripped me as I realized he was becoming weaker, paler, and fading."My body doesn't accept your powers. They are just too much to handle." I felt my whole body twitching. "But you are half angel. Your body, a ha

[RHYS' POINT OF VIEW]There were only a few enchanted stones in this world that could take the life of someone as powerful as my father, and one of them was the forbidden crystal.It was not easy to obtain one, and for a demon, obtaining one meant suffering the ultimate punishment of losing half his life span. It was only a matter of time before I died without my wings or a source of power to keep me alive, but even if I only had a few hours to live, Father was coming with me. Getting to the cemetery on foot was a difficult task since I normally use my wings or vanish to get to my destination. I grasped the stone in my hand despite the hideous mark it'd left on my palm from taking it from its resting place. The flashes of light and thunder ahead of me told me there was a battle going on; I walked faster.When I arrived at the scene, however, I abruptly paused on my feet just in time as Ralph lost his wings and Kai unleashed a powerful blast that destroyed everything in close range.

[RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW]"I'm sorry," I muttered weakly, looking into his eyes, hoping he would understand. "Perhaps you forget we are still here." Xavier snorted. Cameron's gaze was on Kai when I turned around, and he had a cunning look in his eyes and a smirk on his lips. I shielded Kai's eyes from his evil gaze, but I was gently pushed aside. "I'm not some damsel in distress. I don't need you to protect me. I can take him out myself." He glared.I couldn't help the tiny smile that occupied my lips as he pointed his sword at Cameron and Xavier. "Now, who wants a taste of my sword first?" I stood beside him. He gave me a side-eye. "After them, you're next." He gritted, and I would gladly accept his blade."What makes you think you are a match for me?" Cameron smirked. "Let’s not make this difficult for you, darling; give me what I want, and you can sleep peacefully without worrying about whether you are a human or a golden guardian. You can come to me willingly, or I will come to
