He never thought this would happen to him, but he was getting tired. The struggle to break free and his efforts to still hold on were exhausting him. He was even surprised himself; since when does an inhuman being get tired so easily? In any case, he shouldn't get used to the sole exercise of his bones twisting because of the brightness. Even with the struggle, he managed to finally get him into the mansion, closing the door and letting him go. And as he did so, not even a second passed before he was trying to leave the mansion.Rebekah stood in his way."You're not going anywhere, Elijah," she said. "Forgive me, but I won't let you leave." … Move! "He shouted at her anyway, caring little about what the blonde said. She refused; she wouldn't move from the entrance no matter how much Elijah shouted at her. After a few minutes, Elijah stopped shouting and fell into silence, a silence that surprised everyone; he was still, but his breathing was agitated, his gaze was moist and lost. Unt
She could remember it as if it had been yesterday. She vividly recalled that summer day when she went for a walk with her parents through the bustling streets of old Busan, laughing, beaming with a radiant smile. The day couldn't have gone from better to marvelous. The breeze was warm, the scent of freshly baked pastries and fruits filled the air, the heart of Busan was alive. They were celebrating the grand opening of NOPOLITAN, and you could feel everyone's pride and joy everywhere you looked. Rebekah, the girl with a unique charm, had decided to wander away from her parents to explore the various food stalls and sample a bit of everything while chatting with people. Children played merrily, laughter and smiles all around. She observed them as she walked. Her gaze fixed ahead when she spotted a woman sitting alone on a bench, far from the crowd. Without a second thought, Rebekah ran towards the woman, intrigued by her solitude in the midst of the festivities. Her running slowed as s
"Twenty years old, I believe you were back then," she said, still standing in front of Rebekah with her gaze fixed on Fox. "After years had passed since your father's death, after he decided to sell his soul for power and took the lives of your sister and mother, your life went downhill, worse than anyone else your age. I remember it well, dear Fox. You successfully managed your father's vineyards, but quietly, everything was personal for you. It was so... lamentable," she murmured. She took a sip from the bottle, nothing left inside."You were there for others, but very few were there for you. You risked everything for everyone, neglecting yourself; you were dying, Fox." She moved closer to him, and he held her gaze, eyes moist and suppressed. "You were dying," she whispered. "No one could set foot in your room without first praying not to leave worse than you. You were a plague, on the brink of collapse; everyone saw you heading down that path, and even you saw yourself on that path
There was no explanation; no one could provide one, and they all swore by everything. Who could have organized the ancient party in such a short time? Most people wondered, including the entire leadership group. Several days had passed, and they thought that there wasn't enough time to organize the party so quickly. Helena had been tasked with distributing the flyers at the director's request. Unlike the others, she had an approximate idea of who could have organized the party, her own party. The classrooms were filled with students in a brief commotion; there would be no classes today as everyone was at the school to help with various tasks. The purpose of the ancient party, celebrating a fictional character, would come sooner than expected.Tonight, it would begin in the early hours.The director entered the classroom where student Chantai was. He greeted the language teacher and stood before the students."I don't know who to thank for organizing such a perfect party that will take
" Certain things happened around the vicinity of Rome centuries ago," Rebekah replied. "In that place, she stayed with Skalliet for many years... Consequently, when writers heard stories from there, and the name of a certain Melia Conkinova echoed even more... They decided to base everything that happened in her life, with her family, in that city. " And her father? They say he was the owner and practically the king of that place. " Rome, so to speak, would be the creator's domain," Fox spoke. "Elijah, everything you've read, every distorted aspect of places, names... it all happened in the realm above. Never on Earth. " It can't be..." Elijah murmured almost inaudibly. "Are you telling me that Melia was never a terrestrial being? " That's right." In response to the answer, his mouth hung open in shock. Such a thought had never crossed his mind. He found it more credible that, being a terrestrial being, she simply did something very different to survive for so many years. But never
The faint glow of the lampposts was just on the edge of the darkened sky. The breeze was cold yet strangely warm. The music was in tune with the celebration, and everywhere you looked, it was elegant, more so than anyone had ever imagined. The vast majority of those who usually settled for the first thing they found in their closets were now more than perfect; they caught everyone's attention, the epitome of beauty in their tailor-made dresses, illuminating the campus even more, which served as the backdrop for the dance.The tuxedos fit each of the guys more than perfectly. Their stances and the way they held their partners were in perfect harmony. Tonight was the dawn of a new day when, for once, the majority behaved themselves.In the hallway, Pelinieve struggled with his tie. His white hair was perfectly combed back, his tuxedo fitting him impeccably, but his expression... it was one of displeasure. He didn't want to be here, didn't want to come to this dance. He had no desire to
"They love each other so much," Elijah said. "It's visible wherever you look.""With all their hearts," Karina added. "They are meant for each other, they are...""The same soul," Za concluded. "Their love... it's as vast as the thread that allowed them to find each other.""The thread of life given to them by Melia," Elijah said. "The thread given to them by the woman who now hates me." He laughed bitterly. "The woman I love with all my soul." His feline eyes closed as he spoke those words with depth.Za and Karina looked at him without saying anything. What was the need to say anything? Both of them saw the pelinieve as a son, as the boy who, despite everything that happened, remained there, following Melia. Oh, after a being considered impossible...Elijah opened his eyes and released a sigh. Karina's hand covered his over the table."Despite everything, dear, things will be okay, right?" She said, trying to keep her eyes from tearing up. "There's no need to cry; it doesn't fix thi
I see your soul, I want to paint it black. No more pure colors, if you choose to take my hand. I can see the beauty in your being, the benevolence in your heart. I can see how little I care about that. The cause and effect of all this is that I want to paint you black. People don't understand, they don't understand you. The world around you is too little for what you truly deserve. Love is scarce, mine is abundant. Life is short, eternity is not. Take my hand, let our eternities merge. I look within me, and my heart is black. I see through you, yours is not. I want to paint it black. I want to paint it black. Join your hand with mine in this dance. Our eternity will unite. The sway of our bodies, our locked gazes, is the little understanding for those around us. I don't care about the fall; I want you with me. Do you want me with you? If so, take my hand. I can't stare at the setting moon. If you join your hand with mine, our love will laugh at us before dawn. I'll
