EMMA’S POV I woke up with a loud bang, my head ringing with pain, I could feel my head catch literal fire.The pain so strong that it lighted my entire body from inside, hissing with pain I made my way slowly to the bathroom, each step felt like I was walking on needles.My whole body vibrating with so much pain that I could not describe, a strange feeling enveloping my body as I carefully pulled off my clothes.Each action seemed to take forever. My whole body felt like they didn’t belong to me, memories of last night filling my head like a cloud, the giggles cutting through my head like needles and pins.I turned on the water, allowing the cold water slice through my body, repairing damaged veins. I felt relieved almost immediately, the water soothing me in a way that I couldn’t explain, I let myself slip.Closing my eyes, I laid in the bath tub, the water soothing my tired soul, cleansing me limb for limb I felt safe, felt at home for the very
LUCIEN’S POV I felt myself levitating, floating across the still night with the stranger in a cloak, the only time he ever looked at me was when we were crossing the ocean.His gaze imploring as he muttered words under his breath that sounded like gibberish.A portal appearing out of no where as he made his way inside, head first before the rest of his body followed him.Although I was not completely conscious, I thought about making a u_turn scared of what the stranger was up to.I hadn’t made a decision when I felt myself being yanked through the portal, a small howl escaping my mouth as I made my way through the portal.I was greeted by a huge magnificent house, the walls archaic as the building stood tall looming over us both.The building glittering with small dusts that was sprinkled all over it. I loved the sudden feel of my legs in the grass.The stranger way ahead of me as he made his way towards the house. With every step that th
EMMA’S POV I could still remember the cloudless man trailing his scaly fingers down my skin, the disgust that had held me in a chokehold still prominent. I could still feel his dry tongue tracing invisible spot on my collar bone. The putrid smell that seemed to emanate from him had me reeling. His sudden hold on me, had me begging, pleading and kicking to be let go . If not for Lucien who had come to save me, that cloudless smelling man would have had his way with me over and over again.His smell was still hanging on to me as I lay in the bathtub, scrubbing my skin till it tingled with pain. Making sure the water was really hot, the steam scalding me, I wanted to get rid of all his stench as well as his touches that were sinful.The look in his eyes when he groped me, his tongue sticking out in the most disgusting way making my stomach churn.The carrot cake that I had savored moments ago threatened to spill out. Dousing myself in my lavender mist, ensuring to empty the whole bo
EMMA’S POV A loud guttural scream followed immediately by a huge thud, jolting me awake from my little slumber.“Lucien? I croaked out groggily waiting tiredly for his response.When I heard none, I carefully made my way out. My heart beating frantically as I walked through the hallway, small sweats forming at my temples .My mind playing dirty tricks on me as I took in the unbelievably calm environment , even the birds weren’t chirping.I felt the clock tick unbelievable slow, a small uncontrollable scream escaping through my mouth as I took in Lucien’s mangled form on the floor, a look of pain etched onto his face.His body extremely still, as tears rolled down his face, whatever he was feeling I could not tell.“Lucien “ I called, frantically tapping his face as I looked for pulse, his whole body stiff like he had been freezed to death. The tears rolling down his eyes the only sign that he was alive.With a huge ordeal I sluggishly pulled him up, his whole weight lugging on my f
EMMA’S POV The nightmares, they were back.Back with so much gusto it had me shaking , reeling and begging. There was something different about this one. This one had substance to it, it felt more real and they played on till the next morning.I could feel my head ringing, screams and whispers holding me captive. Their words vivid even when I woke up the next morning, the blood wrenching screams still searing into me long after the nightmare.Remembered how they plagued my dreams, faceless men hunting me into the shadows, plaguing my mind and afflicting me.“Are you alright Emma? Lucien asked, his face scrunched up with concern as he made his way to me.The bedspread trashed and tossed onto the marbled floor. “Water, I need water” I choked out, my voice hoarse from all the screaming and yelling that took place last night.“Here”Collecting the cup of water from Lucien’ outstretched arms, I chugged it down greedily. Some escaping through the corners of my mouth gulped the whole cup
LUCIEN’S POV It felt like I had been run down by a truck, my whole body reeling with pain as I tried to open my eyes, the light searing into my eyes making me close it hastily.My head ringing with pain, a run down of what happened earlier playing in my head like a broken down CD The cuts across my back tingling as they closed back, the room void of any form of life only low guttural growl.The muscles in my body constricting as I hastily stood up ignoring the pain shooting up my legs as I made my way to where the sounds was coming from.Low growls and high pitched shrieks as they discussed between themselves, the inkwell their object of discussion. Their high pitched sounds frustrating as they held it with their filthy hands, a foul smell hanging on to every corner of the room.I was surprised that three injured hordes worked with so much efficiency, the whole house ridden of the bodies and blood that stuck on to every corner of the r
BRIAN’S POV HellThese past few days has been hell, Lilith had been frustratingly annoying these past weeks ordering me around like I was her puppet.Her dark gaze pinning me down every single time, as if that was not enough the whole office was in chaos, one of our data was breached causing important information ti get to the wrong persons hands.The damn mayor.If she had listened to me when I told her to get rid of him, Heck we wouldn’t be in this position. Numerous phones were blowing up at the same time, angry voices spilling through the phones as the employees tried to placate them.Worse, our server was down, and several important deals had fallen through all because of this mayor.My impending board default meeting still hanging around me as I ran around, speaking with different organisations why they could still run business with us.The mayor was a gone man.“Brian, I think you should handle this” Lilith’s secretary
“Leave me alone Josh!” I say in an alarmed tone as I'm pushed against the wall. My face contorts in pain as my elbows collide with the wall. “Shut the fuck up! We both know you want me, enough with all this sly acting.” Josh says with a sneer on his lips as he leans closer to me. The pungent smell of alcohol emanating from him is enough to make me puke if I wasn't already disgusted by him. Life in Willowbrook Town is slowly becoming unbearable for me. The people's cruel nature was slowly getting to me. Their wicked words and derogatory statements cut through the pieces of my fragile heart. What's worse is that, I'm in no way to be blamed for my predicament. I was abandoned by my parents and family just a few months after I was born. The townspeople gave me away to the orphanage where I was brought up. The townspeople got it into their heads that because I grew up without my family, I don't deserve any respect or love. Almost as if it was my fault that I was abandoned. It got bet

BRIAN’S POV I knew the time was nearing to finally report to Lilith, and I needed to do this in person. All roads in getting the shopkeepers background often yielded to a dead end, like the man didn’t even exist.Normally The volt was the best system to turn to if you needed to dig dirt up on people. So why they weren’t able to find information on this guy made my blood boil.And I couldn’t exactly kidnap him if I didn’t know the basic things. This man had several tricks up his sleeves, and I would hate being at the receiving end.I knew my time in pines field was almost over, and I had been looking forward to have a date with Emma yet again, that sudden pull to be around her stronger . I didn’t exactly know how to go about it.Although it had been nice messing up with the guys head that always followed her everywhere like a muppet.His desires were so strong that all I had to do was make use of it to my advantage of course, especially w
EMMA’S POV I definitely didn’t know what came over me, couldn’t explain why I had said those harsh words to Lucien .That wasn’t me, I didn’t play dirty like that, I could still remember the look on his face, remember how he pretended to be okay when he wasn’t. I had cried a whole lot, I had even wanted to go looking for him, but he had asked me not to go out.And the last thing I was going to do was do exactly what he warned me against. He had wanted to protect me.But what did I do, I played dirty and broke him instead. I was feeling one too many emotions at the same time, the house was particularly cold without him.I could feel actual chills, my skin prickling. I laid curled in the chair, my gaze fixated at the door.Regret swirling through me at the words I muttered. I just wanted Lucien to be home, I just wanted to be in his embrace.Because now I had ruined all my chances, I was a hundred percent sure that he wouldn’t look at me t
