INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 031
[KAI’S POINT OF VIEW]Ralph seemed to be having a blast with his new prominence and title as the new popular kid and the best in everything, Kyrell Johnson was now a thing of the past, as everyone seemed to have forgotten about him - even his so-called friends were now shamelessly shadowing Ralph like some lost pooches.As much as I was happy that I was no longer the object of bullying, being with Ralph also warranted me some attention that I detested more than anything, but looking at Ralph across the table as he conversed with his new friends, gleaming and too luminous for his own good, he loved the attention, and it was causing aversion in my stomach.“Hey, You are wasting your food.”Felix's words heaved me out of my state of thought, and I looked down at the food on my tray, which was no longer edible with how many times I’d stabbed the poor burger with a fork. With an exhalation, I pushed the tray away from me, and Felix passed me an incredible and vague gaze. I poked my inner
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 032
(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)Once I stepped out of the room, I went to the bar and got myself a drink. I ogled at the goldish liquid in the glass, already having second thoughts as its smell punctured into my nose without mercy and caused an aversion in my stomach.Deciding to man up, I shut my eyes and drowned the liquid into my system and when I opened my eyes, my vision was twirling in circles and an unnatural feeling surged up my chest.Damn. I didn't think the damn liquor was that strong enough to get me worked up with just a glass! Why was I drinking anyway?!"Hey, pretty." My vision was foggy. I tilted my head, trying to make out the face peering back at me but I got nothing, instead, my body swayed uncontrollably that he had to catch me by the arm."I'm fine, thank you." I gently pushed his arm away but staggered again and strived to balance myself with the counter. What the hell? Was this how being drunk felt like? If I was crapulous, why was I thinking rationally? "Hey, do you w
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 033
(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)I sat on the bed, knees hugged and back pressed on the wall while staring into space.The events of last night were still raw in my head. Everything kept flashing and every word kept echoing. I wish I could forget."Are you still sulky about last night?" Ralph came before my view as he sat on the bed and crossed his legs. "I said I'm sorry. I shouldn't have agreed to such party and I shouldn't have dragged you alone. I'd thought it would be good for you to experience what other humans are experiencing.""I'm not like other humans." I wasn't even human to begin with. I met Ralph's eyes and locked him under my gaze. "Are you hiding something from me, Ralph?" I watched his reaction give nothing away but before he could answer, I placed a finger over his lips. "Wait, don't answer that."Why was I even asking? I swore to mind my business and not get tangled in some shit that might bring attention or worst get me killed. What was the point of knowing a secret when I wa

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)"You are such a pretty little thing." Nauseated would be an understatement to what I felt as he meandered his finger on my clothed arm. I swiveled my face away but he clasped my mouth, turning my face to look into his lust-filled eyes."Don't look away from me, little thing. We are going to have a fabulous time together. I promise to make it worth it."For once I felt I'd caught up with my limit letting this outmoded pervert touch me. But I couldn't believe I was doing this, coerced to sleep with a man twice the age of my father by my father and soulmate.The thought made me scoff out loud and the smile on Mr. Smith's face fell over. He shrank his hold on my mouth, sifting his fingers into my cheek but it didn't hurt, not when I'd endured this same treatment from my parents and my soulmate, nothing new and nothing to flinch about."Shouldn't you be imploring and crying? That's what I was promised. If it doesn't come inherently, you might as well be synthetic

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)A day after the cessation of Mr. Smith, the cops turned up at my house.I schooled my expression as one of the officers analyzed me, searching for something that would give me away as the murderer of the rusty pervert. "What makes you think my son has a hand in the death of Mr. Smith? I assure you, he doesn't even know the man." Dad broke the silence that befall the living room."We never said your son has a hand in the murder of Mr. Smith. We caught footage of your son stepping into the room." The detective answered in a non-joking tone while continuing to keep his eyes on me, waiting for me to answer the unsaid question in the air.What was I doing in the room with Mr. Smith?"Mr. Smith is a business partner and I'd send Cameron there for business purposes. That's why he was seen stepping into the room." Dad chimed in again."Mr. Hernandez, I believe your son can speak for himself if you're not hiding anything." The officer pointed out.My mom gasped. "Off

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW) "Bend your body a bit." I did as the photographer instructed, moving my body and doing as he said and he flashed his camera on my face, taking shot after shot while I conserved the smile on my face. Being in the spotlight since I could walk, this was nothing but the usual. But when I looked over at the director sitting behind the photographer with his crew and Blaze, I knew he wasn't impressed and I was correct when a moment later, the man was rising from his seat and coming to stand beside the cameraman. "Can you be more human?" I gulped and the smile on my face plunged. I spruced up my posture and peered at the man as the question caught me off guard. I recouped the smile on my face. "What do you mean, Director?" He rasped. "I've worked with many people and I know when an artist is less human and you seem to be far greater than other actors." He took a step closer, staring deep into my eyes as if he knew something that others didn't. "You can fool o

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)It was rare that I found time to sit in front of my canvas in front of the doors leading to my balcony. The curtains and doors were wide open and the rays of sunlight shone on me.I brought the pencil to the board but instead of being subjugated with inklings as I usually did, my brain was blanker than a sheet but I managed a stroke.Painting and drawing were my safe space, my only narcotic and cure from the blitz of anger and hunger inside of me but right now, I needed a muse.I reeled my head, looking over to Rhys who was occupying my sofa and browsing through a magazine. Feeling my attention on him, he lifted his head and locked me with his goldish orbs. "Is there something you need, little human?"I let my eyes roam all over his body, capturing every piece. I'd seen him without clothes before but the image in my head was blurry, it wasn't clear enough to plant on my canvas. "Take off your shirt." I blurted.He crooked the perfect eyebrow, questioning."I

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)It was a Thursday and I was in my school's faculty building with a medic's coat over my outfit.School hours ended almost an hour ago but it was like there was a magnet keeping me rooted to my seat or I just didn't want to leave till I'd filled my stretch book with the perfectness of Rhys.His features were flawless and no matter how much I strived, I couldn't get his eyes right. Those sandy orbs looked like they could see through my soul and know my sinister desires but he already did and that was the sexiest thing ever.I scowled and leaned back in my seat as I noticed I'd drawn the shape of his eyes wrong for the third time. With a grunt, I opened another page and continued fresh work.This time, I must get those eyes right or I won't leave this building!"I knew I would find you here."The familiar voice of Blake had me freezing. What was he doing here? With my vigorous schedule today, how did he figure I would be here of all places?I cleared my throat a

INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin:100
{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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 099
[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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 096
[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
