INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 019
[Cameron’s point of view]I detested going into my dad’s office because nothing good ever happened in there but I couldn’t say no if I wanted so I didn’t bother trying. I sighed as I stepped out of the elevator on the top floor, walking towards my dad’s office door which was the only door on the floor. I advanced, smiling at the secretary at the front, and knocked on the door, it opened immediately to reveal Blade. I gaped.“Hey babe, we had been expecting you, what took you so long,” he was beaming so glossily. I flinched when he suddenly lifted his hand to touch my hair. He noticed. “Why so petrified baby, I would never hurt you, I love you so much.” He stroked my hair. “I know I haven’t been the best soulmate recently but I hope you can forgive me, baby. You know how you drive me crazy,”I almost thought this was real till I saw the secretary from the corner of my eye. watching us with a wistful gaze. I widened my smile, moving in to peck his lips. “I can never stay mad at you,” I

[Rhys’s Point Of View]I watched as the little human spurt into his bedroom. The aura that swarmed around him had become ten times darker and the vapor over his head was rumbling with thunder.Oh, our little human was disgruntled.Standing at the corner beside the door, I watched as the human went bonkers for the second time since I met him, trashing everything in his room as if he was trying to subjugate.He shrieked, he yelled, he hollered, ravaging and breaking everything that fell into his hand in enthusiasm that seemed to make his eyes flare but he showed no sign of shedding a tear. Incredible yet captivating.Once he seemed to have let his anger out on the poor room, I decided to make myself known as I cleared my throat. Instantly, he twirled his head and he jolted in tremor as if seeing me for the first time, I waved at his stupefied face.Must have been disreputable to have an audience witness his little stunt.“How long have you been standing there?” he was breathless. I shr

[Kai’s Point Of View]“Can I come?”Ralph requested for the seventh time in ten minutes. With an annoyed whine, I responded for the seventh time in ten minutes. “No! for fuck sake if you ask me that one more time, I’m gonna slap you across the face and I won’t regret it!” I clamored as I picked up my backpack from the table. When I turned to him, I found him gaping at the floor with a beaten-down expression. I sighed, striding towards him and placing a hand on his shoulder, he looked at me. His hazel eyes were flickering with dismay. “Look Ralph, I know you want to come but you see my boss is an asshole and he doesn’t like extra visitors that aren’t customers and I don’t have money to buy you something that would make you a customer. If you want to come so badly, make yourself imperceptible or something. You’ve done it before, I don’t get why you can’t do it again,”“I can do that but I can’t,” came his answer. I was still questioning if indisputably he was my angel because I didn’

(Kai's Point of View)I scrambled into my boss's office as soon as I got to my place of work. He glared as soon as he saw me. "You're fired!"My jaw plummeted to the floor and it remained there. "B-but sir, it was an emergency! I had to rush my brother to the hospital!""Do you know how much I've lost because of your lacking today? You should know by now that I don't care for any emergency as long as it does not relate to my work!" He screeched, rising to his feet. "I believe I've tolerated you long enough by putting up with your clumsy and sleepwalking ass. Get out!"Abruptly, I was on my knees. "Please sir, this is the only job I have that pays my school bills and put food on my table,""Then drop out and look for other jobs, you are only in high school, you still have a long way ahead of you but here, you are no longer needed. Get out!" I didn't realize when the door opened and Reuben strolled in, pulling me to my feet and chaperoning me out of the boss's office."Is that blood?"

(Kai's Point of View)A whole week passed before my Boss finally called me back. I nearly bounced in excitement as Ralph and I arrived at the restaurant. It was 6:30 in the morning so the restaurant wasn't opened yet.Reuben smiled and patted my back as he led me toward the Boss who was occupying one of the tables in the middle of the restaurant.Once he saw me, he swept his eyes all over me, then averted his gaze to Ralph who grinned and waved but my boss didn't look away. I watched as he roam his eyes all over Ralph with no atom of shame that made me poke my inner cheek in sudden and newfound anger.Loudly, I cleared my throat, gaining my Boss's attention. "Who's this?" He pointed at Ralph. "If he agrees to work here then I will pay double of your salary,"My mouth dropped and I immediately looked over at Reuben who was equally scanning his eyes over Ralph but he wasn't as engrossed as my boss. He caught my eyes and immediately shifted his gaze, a blush marrying his cheeks.What th

(Kai's Point of View)The setting around me was glamorous. The grass was lush and the sky was blue."Kai!"I veered around at the sound of my name to a figure standing miles away from me. A smile crept to my lips as I waved.I didn't know who the person was as I couldn't see his face clearly from that far yet my heart was soaring with fervor and mirth. My heart seem to know who it was.Then, he was coming toward me, closer and closer to the point I could finally see his face, however, the more he got nigher, I realized he was withering.My heart suddenly ailed and my hand reached out. I wanted to walk forward but my feet were embedded where I stood. "No!" I cried out. I didn't realize my eyes were simmering with tears till I felt my cheeks getting wet as I watched him vanish till there was nothing left of him but dust that evaporated to the sky. Suddenly, the background changed and the sky grew dark and I found myself in front of a burning fire, spreading quickly and wild while I was

(Cameron Point Of View)"How long do you plan on keeping me here?" Rhys abruptly inquired, lying in my bed while I was reading a script on my study table. I swiveled to him. "I am? Because it feels like I'm the one entertaining and being pragmatic to you than you being useful to me,"He tsked. "So you want me to leave, is that it?"I immediately shook my head. "Of course not! I like your company. It doesn't feel so barren with you here,"I watched him roll his eyes before he was sitting up and dropped his legs to the floor. "I'm bored human and I need something else to regale me," his golden eyes looked so sharp.I stood up and approached him. "Let's go to a clu-" I instantly halted as I realized the words coming out of my mouth. I couldn't be seen in a club for any reason. "The club is a big no," I tapped my chin, thinking. "Oh, I know! I've always been dying to visit this restaurant that makes great food,""Great, let's go," Rhys was already on his feet and leaving through the doo

[Kai’s point of view]As the day grew darker and fewer people were coming in, it had been hours since Ralph and Rhys left. I headed to Cameron's table for the fifth time. He gave me a smile that made me want to squirm. Although genuine, his smile was unsettling, and the fact that he hadn't stopped grinning made it even more unsettling. Didn’t his cheeks hurt from smiling? If I smiled that much, my muscles would be begging for mercy."Do you want me to refill it?" I pointed to his fourth cup of coffee. “It appears your date isn’t going to show up anytime soon,”I saw him pout as he took out his phone and looked at the time. “It’s getting so late, I wonder what’s keeping them so long,” he fluttered his eyes at me. "Sit with me for a little bit?"Before settling into the chair across from his table, I took a quick look around the restaurant. He grinned. “Would you like to discuss anything in particular?” I could keep him entertained for a while."Yes, tell me about Ralph; you mentioned

{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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 097
[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
