INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 074
(RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW)I tried to resist, to turn a blind eye to his bold advances, to be indifferent, but he was irresistible, and he knew it too well, but he had no idea how long I held my breath from breathing him in, how much my heart raced whenever he was too close, and how I constantly fought the urge to grab him and slam him against the wall and have my way with him.He made it difficult and when he kissed me, he shattered the walls I’d built around myself to keep him out as if they were made of glass rather than bricks.I found myself recalling every memory he lacked, and having his lips on mine made me realize how much I craved and desired him.When he turned after addressing his guest, I was in a daze as I ran my thumb over my lip, feeling a tingling sensation I had not felt in a long time and lighting a fire that had been snuffed out three years ago.When his guest left and he turned to face me, I found myself diving for his lips, kissing him as if I were starving and taki

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)I always believed things happened for a reason, good or bad; it was only a matter of time before one got to find out the outcome.I parked my car at the school parking lot and got out, getting ready for another day of boring activities in school, but nah, I'd survive.Upon exiting the vehicle, I was met with a strangely recognizable face. He grinned as though he had just figured out the most challenging riddle ever. My eyes glazed over him."Shit! It is you, I knew it. I could never be wrong. Kai! It's so good to see you again!" Clambering, he threw his arms around me in an embrace before I could even respond. I wriggled free of his arms, which were more powerful than they looked. He looked at me as if I had hurt him when I managed to free myself from his grip."I thought we had passed our dispute." He pouted and looked cute, but that was not important. This person looked so familiar, yet I didn't know where I'd seen him before, and he knew who I was, which me

(RHYS' POINT OF VIEW)There was only a year until he was finally released, but I could not bear the ache and loneliness that had suddenly taken over my heart in his absence.Emotions. This was why demons were forbidden to love. We have an overabundance of emotions and feel them too strongly.Taking my time, I strolled through the hospital hallway, thinking about how much he would detest me and how much he wouldn't want to see my face right now. I sighed. I could not blame him; I despised myself as well, but what could I do when things were out of my hands?Three years away had been torture, and I was not sure I wanted to go through it again for another year. When I entered his ward, I was greeted by the stench of corpses and rotten blood. I came to a halt in a space. A place that was once filled with beds and patients was now empty except for a janitor wiping blood-stained floors; the smell of death was stronger in this space."Can I assist you with something?" "No one is permitted

(RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW)I could not contain my surprise when Cameron sat down next to Kai and struck up a discussion.Cameron. Maybe what was shocking was not that he was there. The aura emanating from him was unsettling and made me sit up straight.Bloody, gloomy, and unsettling. It seemed as though every emotion had been sucked from him and he was composed entirely of evil. In a way, Cameron was both present and absent at the same time. He was possessed by something powerful enough to keep him from thinking for himself. How did we get here?I stood up and exited the classroom abruptly. I needed to know why he was here and what he had in mind for Kai. I wouldn't hesitate to send him to hell if it was what I was thinking. Fuck! I needed to find Rhys.And I found Rhys outside the school with a hardened expression. He most likely knew his insane and possessed human was in the building. I grabbed his wrist and dragged him to a less crowded area before releasing him and turning to face

(RHYS' POINT OF VIEW)“There ought to be a way to dispel those abilities, right?” I thought aloud while keeping my attention fixed on Cameron, who was tied to a chair in the center of my penthouse living room.Cameron rolled his eyes. "You could have if you had come to me once." "It's problematic." Xavier, who was standing next to me, responded. He leaned in and examined Cameron's face more closely. "From what I can see here, this poor soul has been shut out of his own mind, and demonic powers dominate every cell in his body." He tsked and returned to my side. "It's almost impossible to set him free.""But it's not impossible?" I stared at him, waiting for him to say something else."Yeah. Kill him, and everything's gone." He replied with a knowing grin. He knew I wouldn't kill Cameron; why was he haunting me? "I'll go see what I can find and get back to you." He waved at Cameron before vanishing into thin air.I crouched down to Cameron's level and moved a few locks of his hair that

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)I had no idea what to expect as I rushed down the hospital hallway after learning that my father had been rushed to the emergency room. But certainly, I didn't expect to hear the words that fell out of the doctor's mouth as he spoke to my mom. I abruptly came to a halt a few feet away from them."I am sorry, Mrs. Celestia; there is nothing we can do now that your husband is in the final stages of cancer."Mom choked on her tears and immediately raised her hand to clap around her mouth to muffle the sound. "How much time does he have?" The doctor shook his head, unable to find the right words. "You can go see him now if you want." He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder before walking away while I made my presence known."Mom." Quickly, she turned to me and instantly, she was breaking down, releasing those sounds she had been holding back. I caught her before her knees gave out, held her tightly in my embrace, and stroked her hair while trying to hold back

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)When I opened my eyes, I was staring at the ceiling of my bedroom. How did I end up here? I thought as I felt a wild ache in my head.I slowly pushed myself up to a sitting position on the bed and rubbed my brow, trying to remember how I had ended up on my bed when the last thing I remembered was comforting my mother in the hospital. I have not even seen Dad yet."You are awake." My head jerked up as I watched Ralph enter the room with a steaming cup. When he was close enough, he extended it toward me. "Have this; it will help with the headache."I slowly took the cup from him and sipped the contents. On my tongue, it tasted sour but not unpleasant. "How did I get here? I recall being in the hospital." I regarded him with suspicion. "What are you doing here?""You passed out at the hospital earlier, and I was there to visit because I heard what happened to your father, so your mother told me to take you home."Oh. I realized. That made perfect sense. "So, we are
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 081
[KAI'S POINT OF VIEW]I still remember the man in the mirror. It was like I was staring at myself but at the same time, it wasn't me.I remembered the look in his eyes; they were filled with regret and so much pain that my heart clenched. Those eyes wanted to tell me something, to warn me, but he vanished the moment Ralph entered the bathroom.That was two days ago, and I still felt strange. I felt a tingling sensation at the tip of my finger as if something was aching to be let go. I even stood in front of the mirror a few times, hoping the man would reappear and tell me everything, but he never did, and I knew what I saw. He was there.I sounded crazy, I know but I couldn't help it.I sighed and ran a hand down my face. I was probably losing my mind.Suddenly, the loud ringing sound of my phone filled the room. I picked it up from beside me, where I was sitting on the bed, and answered the call."Mom,""Kai, a…are you home?" Suddenly, every nerve in my body was screaming in alarm
