INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 041
[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]A groan left my throat at the awful pain in my head. Wait! Pain?!Shouldn't I be dead? Why was I feeling instead?Sluggishly, I opened my eyes, being overcome with the brightest of the room and once my vision cleared, I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling and the beeping sounds coming from beside me made me realize I was in the hospital.Hospital, alive? How-“Good, you are awake.”I turned towards the voice, finding my mom occupying a hand chair. She stood up and advanced towards me on the bed. “Are you surprised to see that you’re alive?” she tsked. “Don't worry, I'm surprised too. The whole world is since your audacious act was caught on camera and now everyone thinks your dad and I are credible for your act of suicide and guess what, Mr. Charlie revealed this is not the first or second time you have tried to kill yourself, making us look bad in the public eye.” she sported a grin but there was something dark about it. It made me quake. She cont
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 042
(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)In this world, there has only been one person who has truly made me feel like I was a human with emotions—Charlie. He was the father I wished I had and made me feel less alone. Then Rhys appeared. He read me like I was an open book; he knew me like he knew the back of his hand. With him, all of my feelings were genuine; I did not have to pretend. And now there was Kai. Hours had passed since he entered my hospital room, and it appeared that he had no intention of leaving. We played game after game, and whenever we needed something in our stomachs, he always rushed out to get some. I realized in an instant that he was my first friend. With him, my smiles were outsized. The fact that I was no longer alone made me exuberant. I wished the moment had continued longer.My broad smile shrank, and my fingers immediately stopped tapping the phone's screen. When the door was pushed open and Blake was rushing in like a hurricane, I put the game on hold. He appeared
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 043
(RHYS'S POINT OF VIEW) As demons, we didn't follow the rules of nature and did whatever we liked, but still, there were coincidences for some actions that just couldn't be avoided, like interfering with the fate of a human—keeping them alive when their time on earth had come to an end.I received a thunderclap as punishment for meddling with Cameron's fate. A normal demon would have shattered like a bulb. For a superior being like myself, the first one was only a warning, and the second would be the equivalent of being executed.I had been alive for countless years; death had become a friend. I had witnessed people lose their lives to illness, accidents, old age, diseases, or suicide, and whenever that happened, I could only laugh at the patheticness of how little they seemed to value what they had.Watching another human take their life should have been commonplace, and I should have laughed about it. However, seeing this human jump to his death felt like the end of the world, and I

(RHYS'S POINT OF VIEW)Shit! What have I done?"It does not hurt, and I am not sure why." He said it in a daze, but his eyes screamed dread and mayhem. I dashed over to his side. "Come on, let's get you out of here." I attempted to lift him, but he pushed my hands away, cringing away from me as if my touch had burned him, which hurt."Don't touch me." He hugged his body but paused as if a light bulb had gone off in his head. He approached, took my shirt, and drew me in. "Perhaps pain is insufficient. Fuck me, Rhys. Take my soul, if you will. I don't want it." He leaned in for a kiss, but I moved and grabbed his hands instead. He laughed, and his eyes showcased depression. "Even you do not want me. I'm worthless."I wished he cried, which would make him more human, but his eyes had no tears, which twisted my heart. It hurt.I entered the bathtub behind him without giving it a second thought and held him close to my chest, despite his attempts to break free.Perhaps saving this human w
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 045
[CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW]I opened my eyes to find myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. I blinked the fog from my vision and bolted to a sitting position on a bed that clearly was not mine. The room was completely unfamiliar; it was made entirely of wood and had an ancient design.Where was I? Where was this place? Unanswered questions lingered in my mind as I tried to piece together what happened before everything went black, but my mind was blank, instead inviting an excruciating headache that made me groan. With confusion, I tried to get out of bed as my feet touched the soft rug on the floor, but then the door opened and the last people I expected to see again on this planet walked in, the only people who made me believe that maybe there was such a thing as a soulmate and love was all sunshine and rainbows, and I was just unlucky. "Grandma! Grandpa!" I yelled out in a sense of elation that I had not experienced in a while and I suddenly felt alive. I leaped from the bed and

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)We were almost at the door when I changed my mind and brought him around to face me. He looked at me puzzledly and parted his lips to speak, but I cut him off as I grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him square on the lips.He immediately grabbed my hands on his face and broke the kiss. He raised an inquisitive brow.I fixed my gaze on him intently. "I do not want dinner; I want you."His eyes cleared of confusion, and his arm snaked around my waist, drawing me to his body. I could feel his breath against my ear as he moved his face closer to mine, causing an ache to swell inside of me. "Can you handle it, human?" He whispered against my ear before biting into my earlobe, causing me to grasp both his shoulders and squeeze. Rhys tightened his grip on me.I wanted this so bad, but at the same time, I didn't know what I was getting into. He was a demon, and I was a mere human, but I didn't care; I wanted to experience something new with him. "I can."H
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 047
(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)When I gained consciousness, my whole body was screaming and begging for help.With difficulty, I pushed myself to a sitting position and cried out pain at the anguish on my backside."I thought you could take it." Rhys mocking voice echoed in my head. I scoffed. I did take it, even though I passed out from intensity and wild sensations. So, this was how having sex with a demon felt?I looked at the side beside the bed; Rhys was gone. I looked down at myself; I was wearing Rhys'shirt. I smiled and inhaled it. It was perfect, and suddenly, it felt like all my problems were gone.With a groan, I pushed myself off the bed, letting out another groan once my feet touched the floor. Then, my gaze landed on my phone, sitting on the table. I dragged my feet over and picked it up, and once I turned it on, it was filled with notifications, hundreds of them from my mom, and they were dead threats.She didn't know where I was, and that was enough. Without a second thou

(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)Nature was an intriguing phenomenon. There was a lot to anticipate, and even more to draw.The mountains, streams, small lakes, trees, or, in this case, the sight of Rhys lying in the middle of the field, staring up at the sky, were more captivating, and in no time, his face had once again filled my canvas.The demon was perfect, and it was only fitting that he was not human because no human could match his beauty, and he belonged to me alone. Mine to look at,mine to touch, and do whatever I please.It had been a week since Rhys had taken me to stay with my grandparents, and it had been the most peaceful week of my life; it was almost unreal, but I loved every second of it because living in complete obscurity was the ideal existence. I wouldn't mind living like this for the rest of my life.My pencil abruptly stopped moving on the canvas as a thought entered my mind. Wouldn't It be wishful thinking if I were to think of forever with Rhys? We didn't belong i

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
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
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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 094
[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
