Mature themes coming up later on this chapter.
***
I hit against the steering wheel with a frustrated growl as I let a few tears caress my cheeks, I had vowed to myself never to cry after my childhood! Not for anyone! Not for my father! Not for mother! Not for Jackson! And certainly not for my birth-mother! Throwing off the seat-belt, I grabbed my phone and slammed the car door shut. My bracelet, however, caught against it, allowing the tiny tear-shaped diamonds stones to break away from the band, landing around my feet. The soft sounds of the diamonds tumbling against the rough grounds made me scream in frustration and kick the car’s wheel.
Stupid car!
Tears of anger and frustration fell from my eyes. The dinner had brought nothing but chaos for me; my mind was haywire, one thought after another, word after word, and I tried to dodge them like a bullet.
If that’s really what she thought of me, then fine. I’ll let her think of me as some home wrecker! While it her words did hurt me, I wasn’t backing down from the word I gave. Jackson can find his own way to save himself. Audrey came from a rich family herself, she can help him.
Pushing my thumb against the door handle for the fingerprint lock, I opened the door and threw away the stupid heels as soon as I got inside. A deep tired sigh left my lips as I leaned against the door, “I hate this family..” I mumbled into the fours walls that kept me safe from them. Here, I didn’t have to worry about any of them barging in, demanding me to do something, especially something I didn’t want to do.
Running a hand through my hair, I let the comfort of my home calm my frayed nerves and exhausted mind. I promised myself I wouldn’t dare let any more tears fall, as I stubbornly wiped them free of my cheeks. I was no longer that scared little girl in the marketplace. I was a strong independent woman, who ran her own empire in the sick world of men, who tried to grasp my riches and earnings.
Placing my phone on the kitchen counter, I walked deeper into the house. Gathering my obsidian waves together in both hands, I tied my hair into a messy bun, before running myself a warm bath.
Grabbing onto the zipper at the side of my dress, I pulled it down, allowing the clothing to slide down my body. As I threw off my undergarments too, goosebumps erupted in my skin. A cold shiver rackled down my spine as I reached over to grab my silky bathrobe. I draped it over my shoulders before tying the ends together at my waist.
Letting the water run a little slower, I went back into the kitchen to grab myself a glass of some good red wine.
Pouring the red-coloured liquid into the long-stemmed glass, my mind wandered over to the strange sightings I saw this night.
“Dragons...” I frowned, swirling the glass slightly in my hands, “Always loved dragons..” I mumbled, taking a sip of the sweet wine. I leaned on the counter thinking of the strange images over and over again.
First the stars, then the fire...
I sighed, shaking my head, I took another sip. Dragons have always been my favourite mythological creatures. While others adored vampires and werewolves, I fell in love with the magnificent dragons that soared the skies and breathed fire. I do love vampires and werewolves, but it was the dragons that truly won my heart. Vampires and werewolves had a possessive and aggressive side, I didn’t mind that, but there was something about the gentle, yet protective, creatures, these dragons- were simply drawn to me. Like me, dragons liked to keep hold of their own.. their treasures.
I giggled, “Maybe, I really am going crazy from stress.”
Lifting myself away from the counter, I walked back into my bathroom and smiled in seeing the water was ready for me. Placing the wine glass by the tub, I stripped from my bathrobe and climbed into the steaming waters. I gentle sigh released from my lips as it soothed my tense muscles. I didn’t realise how tired I was until now, yes the dinner brought nothing but torment, stress and hurt, but I hadn’t felt something dragging me down like a huge weight, and now it was gone, I felt like I could breathe once again.
Grabbing the glass of wine, I sipped more of the sweet drink, trying clear my head from the images that kept pulling towards the front of my mind. The images strangely calmed me, but also worried me. The things I was seeing had one thing in common, and it was the creature... the dragon. My mind was haunted by the strange sightings, but a part of me welcomed it; allowing it soothe me just like the water did. “Maybe, Toothless decided to pay me a little visit because I’m suffering,” I giggled, taking a big gulp of the drink in my hand. I gently twirled the glass in my hand, allowing the liquid to follow its direction, much like the fire when it turned in different directions. It needed to be influenced under some sort of power or force to be moved. I didn’t understand the concept of the flames changing directions without a certain source of power or force.
I sighed shaking my head and finished the drink in my hand, then stood from the tub, once the water had gotten too cold.
After drying myself with a towel, I wore just my bathrobe again feeling somewhat bold and lazy. A smile graced my lips as the soft covers of my bed embraced me. Finally, a chance to rest my eyes and mind; to take a break from the real world. Sleep helped me forget the real world that revolved around me and found somewhere for me to escape to.
I sighed gently, clearing my mind and fluttering my eyes closed...
I felt like I was floating, yet still laid still on my bed. I could feel something or someone’s weight dip on the edge but my eyes remained closed. I couldn’t open them even if I wanted to.
A soft hand caressed my thighs, making my stomach tremble and breathing fasten.
“Tristan..”
A name had left my lips, but it’s foreign to me, yet it felt right on my tongue as I said it.
I gasped as his large hands grabbed onto my inner flesh, a painful but pleasurable grasp that made my core burn with desire. I could feel myself moisten and pool for this man.
“What happened tonight, Jisoo? I thought you wanted out,” he spoke, his voice was like sweet honey, but an underlying tone of dominance was there, that let a small whimper leave my lips.
I never let a man treat me as a puppet, but this man’s touch.. I craved it.
I finally opened my eyes only to be so suddenly hit with bright lights and the sound of booming music. It was then I realised, I wasn’t at home or in bed, but at some sort of party and sitting on a couch with a man next to me, and his hand close to my most sensitive area.
I was about to remove his hand, but as I gazed into his eyes I could no longer move; I froze. A beautiful seafoam colour with hints of emerald and black floating around. Staring into his eyes, I left the air leave my lungs in a rush. His eyes had held an unique colour that grabbed my whole undivided attention.
Who was this man?
Where was I?
How did he know my name?
Suddenly, feeling of being both lost in his brilliant eyes and in the feeling of him so close to me, I allowed my eyes to close again and unintentionally grinded my thigh again his hand, because the pressure that was starting to build up was becoming unbearable. I could feel his hand glide upwards closer and closer to place my throbbing sensitive flesh.
I didn’t know this man, but his hands felt right on my body.
My body was reacting perfectly to his touches.
Where has my dream world taken me?
Realising what I had just done, to a stronger no less, I tired to move away. I stood up to leave but he suddenly placed his hands on my waist and pulled me right back into him, causing me to grind my backside against him hard enough for him to groan at the feeling. A pleasurable gasp left my lips as his unknown man by the name of Tristan guided his hands to my breasts.
While I didn’t have a clue who this man was, I couldn’t deny the unbelievable pleasure he was giving me just by grasping onto my breasts, then slowly and sensually drawing circles around them with his finger tips.
A part of me hated for allowing an unknown man touch me, dream or no dream, I hated being the puppet of a man’s ways. But this man, he knew what he was doing. He knew how to make me come undone by his simple touches. His touches sent a sharp sensation through me, a feeling of live sparks of electricity to run through my veins.
I let my head fall on his chest and the both of us continued to dance along the rhythm of the music that boomed through the speakers. We were away from crowds on the second floor, no one could see us and the dark hallways aided us as we continued these sinful acts.
He suddenly snaked one of his hands down the silky dress I wore, much like my bathrobe, and his fingers touched my clothed core, making a moan slips through my lips, before I had a chance to stop it.
He slid his fingers into my panties and played played my clit, I gasped, bucking my hips onto his finger as the sensation; to feel more of this friction.
This man, Tristan..
Was he the man of my dreams?
A plain piece of my imagination?
Just as the pleasure built up again; a wild sense of pleasure ready to run through me, he suddenly ripped his hands off my body and pulled away completely leaving me cold and forgotten.
It took my body a few seconds to turn around and once again gaze deeply into his mystical eyes. It pulled me in and I was afraid if I allowed that, I would fall in forever. A tired sigh left his plump desirable lips, before shook his head walking off.
What the hell?!
That’s it?!
But my legs moved, following after him.
My brain was unaware of the actions my body followed and the words my mouth spoke, as if I was controlled by someone else and only able to look through my eyes and feel the emotions that ran through me.
I kept following behind him, calling him his name again and again, but he ignored all my protests and calls. He walked into the dark corridors and turned towards a room. But before he had the chance to close the door, I allowed myself to push the door and walked right inside the room closing it behind me.
“What the hell was that?!” I shouted at him.
I didn’t know his man, and yet I spoke words of anger towards him.
He simply scoffed and went up to the bar in the room and poured himself a drink.
Very much like the red wine I poured myself before getting into bed.
“Answer me!”
I said sternly walking up to the sculpted man before me. He suddenly slammed the glass down onto the wooden table, before grabbing my arms painfully and held me against the counter. Our faces were dangerously close to one another. His eyes turned darker, the once hints of the emerald colour now dominated his entire iris.
“Jisoo,” my name sounded sweet, thick as honey as he spoke it, “You don’t want to be part of this life, then so be it! But why must you make it so fucking hard for me?!”
His words made no sense, yet I had an overwhelming urge to soothe him, take away from the thoughts and memories that haunted him.
“Allow me, to make it better,” I say my words confidently before grazing my knee against his own and thighs, “Tristan.. you have no idea what you’re in for. So just-” He crashed his lips on to mine before I could utter another word.
His self control snapped like a thread.
My hands immediately went for his hair, the softness of it against my hands and fingers, as I let his body push against mine.
Our tongues danced with each other; exploring each other’s mouth. The kiss screamed a battle, ferocity and something toxic. My mind focused on the ways he attacked my lips and explored my mouth... a sense of insanity spread through me as I threw away all logical thoughts.
I no longer cared who this man was.
I wanted him.
And I wanted him now!
I knew, when I would wake-up in the morning I’ll disappointed, because this incredible man was just a face of my imagination, but I was going get to what I can!
He placed his hand over my thigh and I wrapped it around his waist, closing the distance between us. I could feel his already hard erection poking against my clothed sex.
He snaked his arm around my waist pulling my body closer to him. I wrapped both of my legs around him. He broke the kiss and looked into my eyes, an intense rage and determination flowed through them before he attacked my lips again-- a brutal yet unbelievably satisfying kiss.
He walked over to the cough nearby, holding me against him. Not once breaking the toxic kiss, he laid me down on the couch.
He took off his suit coat and threw it away, still kissing me, lighting my insides on fire. This man, Tristan, ripped the dress I wore off my shoulders all the way down to my waist. He smirked as I gasped as his sudden move, before he attacked my neck; kissing and sucking on it, not leaving a space untouched as he left is works of art everywhere on my neck. His wet kisses trailed to my trembling stomach and removed the dress hanging around waist; letting it slowing glide down my legs before it was gone.. thrown away.
How was I so helpless under his touches?
“Tristan..” I whined.
The name left my lips again, but with a pleasurable gasp afterwards. His name alone brought a wild sensation to rip through my veins.
“Right here, Jisoo...” He whispered, cooing me like I was a sweet child in his arms.
My hands seemed to have a mind of their own as they reached up to rip his shirt clean of his chest and throw it away.
Every moment was sweeping into my brain..
An unforgettable dream..
My hands touched his muscles that ripped through his flesh, every dip and curve just as he touched my breasts with his own hands, moving his fingers along the border of my bra. He bend down, sucking on my collar bone, before kissing right above my breasts.. He slipped his hands behind me and opened my bra.
His eyes found mine again as he slowly removed it off my body. The cold air hit my nipples, immediately hardening them more than they already were.
His arms pushed my body against him once again. The feeling of his chest pressed against mine and the heat flowing from his body on to mine, it was driving me insane and to have my core deeply aching for him.
How was this man able to make me ache so bad for him?
He licked my nipple and then sucked on it, biting it a little while massaging my other breast with his free hand.
“Tristan.” I maned arching my back. "Tristan, I need you now!” I whispered in his ears. He looked in my eyes again, the different shades of green and blue memorising me.
I love his eyes..
I bit down on my lower lip as stood on his knees to undo his belt.. He undid his belt and let fall to his knees.
Oh my God!
He smirked
parting my legs with his own. He pulled my legs up along his chest; one leg on each shoulder. Without wasting another minute, he slid his cock into my wet dripping pussy; sheathing his full length inside of me.After the first few thrusts, he began to ram himself into me; pulling nearly all the way out and then ramming into me hard, deep. I raised my hips to meet with every thrust, clamoring.
Yes.. please..
He continued to pound into me fast and hard, hitting that perfect spot and sending me to the edge of ecstasy.
“You feel so good around me! So right...” He said, as my walls started to clench around him. He rammed into me harder and faster, making me a complete moaning mess underneath him.
I could feel my orgasm building up fast.
“Tristan, I am close!” I moaned closing my eyes.
So close..
“I know, I know. Just hold on a few more seconds!” He hissed. He took out his cock from me completely and then slammed right back, causing me to orgasm almost immediately.
He filled me up with his seeds just as I screamed his name...
I gasped sitting up on my bed, breathing hard and sweating. My sensitive area quivered in the ache for pleasure, wet and lost.
Patting my face lightly, my mind wandered to the dream again..
Tristan...
I tried recalling the names of the guys I had dated, but the name Tristan didn’t recall anything.
And the seafoam eyes certainly didn’t recall anything either, but it lingered on my mind, like a lost ship at sea...
Who are you, Tristan?
The guy of my dreams or just the guy in my dreams?
C/r acci/ent (a, d) trigger warning!***My mind raced back and forth; from work to the dream. Those seafoam eyes flashed before my eyes whenever I blinked, creating a rush of emotions that electrified my nerves enough to have that slickness between my legs. The pressure intensified as I remembered the feel of his hands; a touch so real, and yet, it wasn’t. The dream felt real because of the strength of light his eyes gave, their intensity and the silky feel of his skin against mine.My heart only thumped faster as I remembered it, almost sending me off the edge again at its mere memory.“Tristan…” I don’t know how many times I mumbled that name today, but still nothing came to mind. The man in my dreams didn’t exist in the real world.I sighed, running a hand through my hair and tried to focus on the papers in front of me. The words on the page danced, causing the sudd
Ho/pi/al (s,t) - trigger warning.***“Something isn’t right here!”“It looks thoroughly planned! Someone planned to kill Jisoo!”“We don’t know that! We can’t jump into conclusions, mother!”“The evidence is there, Jackson!”Voices drifted around, distorted, I couldn’t make out the words or who they belonged to. I felt a cool hand caressing my cheek and slowly the voices started becoming at least familiar to me. But my eyes kept shut, they wouldn’t open to my command, a heaviness floated on them.A soft sob came from the side, perhaps from one that was caressing my cheek, “Will she be alright?” Hearing mother’s voice, relief flooded through me and for a few seconds I forgot the words she had said to me.I heard someone shifting their feet; walkin
Mature themes coming up later on this chapter and b/ring (u).***A deep tired sigh left my lips as I walked back and forth in the hospital room. The doctor had advised me to take some exercise. My legs needed it, especially if I wanted to be there for my company’s expansion gala. I could not miss the most important event of my company.Information had already leaked out. Newspapers and magazines has already gotten their hands on what had happened. Yet another thing this to search,who had leaked all thisinformationto the media?!I guess some people were just as desperate to get me into another scandal or make the headlines, as they were to have me killed.I groaned, leaning against my bed. With the four days that had passed, I had come to believe that this was indeed planned; someone had planned to end my very life. There was no denying it, especially when
Covering the small bandage on the side of my head, I slipped on my sparklingJimmy Choosheels. I sighed, grabbing my clutch.This was it!My most important event of the year. And I simply must not let a single thing get out of place, no matter how much those flames distracted me. It had to be a dream.. a nightmare. It must have been. Many times I argued with myself whether or not I should call her. I was worried, scared, for the life of the woman that indeed raised me. Every moment felt so real... physical, the fire, the heat, the roaring flames and...her screams.I could still hear her screams in the back of my mind, faded, making me lose balance; making my legs lose the strength to hold my body. I steadied myself by grabbing onto the table beside me. I sighed. shaking my head, before standing straight again, but it only got worse.. my heart started racing as the screams that was once faded, grew louder and louder in
He chuckled, smirking with an over-confidence that made me want to punch his stupid face, “Kwon Jisoo,” He raised his champagne glass, “Don’t you look ravishing.” His eyes travelled the length of my body, boldly.“Get your disgusting ass out of my gala!” I hissed. I tried to keep my voice down, not wanting to draw attention to this Venturi.“Why, is that way to treat your guests?” He raised an eyebrow.“Last time I checked the list, your name wasn’t on it!” I snapped.“Nope, but I have my ways.” He winked, bringing the glass to his lip and taking a sip of his drink.“What do you mean, Venturi?!”“He’s my plus one.” The soft voice of a female spoke, before she came into sights, wrapping her arms around Antonio.“Delancey Williams..”I spoke her name, keeping my voice monotone. She was her father&rs
“What?” I asked, my voice low and breathless as I registered his words.“Yes, ma’am. I’ll explain everything.” He promised.“Ma’am, your speech..” Claire interrupted; uncertainty rang in her voice. She didn’t know whether to attend to her work or do something on my behalf, by stepping out of her role.“N-No..” The word flew unsteadily from my lips and I gazed back at Cameron, “Tell me, now!” I said sternly, after gathering my strength.“I suggest we remove ourselves from the crowd, ma’am.” Cameron gazed at me with worry as he spoke the words, yet another reason to cause a dreaded feeling to crawl into the pit of my stomach.I nodded, before turning to Claire, “Distract them.” Her eyes widened at my order; to actually step out her role nonetheless. I could see the gears working in her mind through her eyes, before she reluctantly nodded.
“Ma’am...” Cameron tried to reach forward to comfort me, but I slapped his hands away. I had never left a single tear fall since childhood, and here I was a sobbing wreck in front of my assistant, “Maybe, we should leave the rest of the findings until after the gala.” He suggested.“No!” I tried to keep my voice stern.I was not weak!“Ms. Kwon-”“When did this happen?” I asked, cutting him off in the process.He sighed before answering, “I heard the fire happened four days ago.”Four days ago... it only confirmed it, I was indeed responsible for what had happened.“Who told you this? Why was I not informed?” I asked, biting onto my fists to keep myself from sobbing.“Mr. Andreas Kwon wanted to keep it hidden, he said-”“Bullsh*t, what he said!” I snapped, “He only wants to protect his
The woods brought nothing but utter darkness. In the nighttime woods, the trees stayed black, its trunks against a strange bluish charcoal sky, such darkness. The path in front had become the deepest brown and moonlight could do so little when it came shining its light, only causing the stones to glimmer, but the canopy of trees prevented any other light from getting through.I cried out in frustration, as my heels caught against fallen branches androots of the large trees.Running in Jimmy Choos was impossible, but running bare feet, and here where sharp thorns could cut through your flesh would be worse. The pain would simply slow me down.I could stillhear the cracking of the fire, and its heat. Though it had died down a little, it was still there, following my feet with each step I took.The eerie silence of the woods made me quiver; my insides shaking as I struggled to take steady and soft breaths. Though, thebr
Hi everyone, I terribly sorry not to have updated both my stories in a very long time. But this year was so painful for me I couldn’t find myself to write for a long time. But logging in a few days ago and seeing the many love and support you were giving for this story, it gave me so much hope and enough to strength to try write something. This isn’t has good as what you have read previously, and for that I’m really sorry, I need get into the flow again, I hope you can understand. Now that everything is starting to get better, I’ll try and get a few for chapters out for you in this festive season! <3 I love you all, my wonderful readers, Thank you for everything! - I didn’t know why, but I found myself following them outside; into the forest. Tristan’s words echoed in my head painfully. Whatever Antonio Venturi wanted, he was willing to deprive these creatures of their
I sighed, running a hand over my face, and just as I opened my mouth to speak, the doors slammed open, with a man out of breath and rushing over to Tristan. The sudden commotion had Cynthia whimpering in fear and I watched as Alec pulled her into his arms, trying to comfort the frightened little girl.But even as he tried the whimpers couldn’t be stopped.“Give her to me,” Viviane said gently, softly pulling her child close to her chest. My heart wrenched at the sight. Only slight whimpers had feel from Cynthia’s lips, but Viviane was beside her in seconds, hugging and comforting her with sweet words and soft promises.I gulped, hearing the cry of a little girl at the busy market place in the back of my mind.“What is it?” Tristan grunted. His eyes slowly leaving the now quietened Cynthia, his gaze lingered on me for a second, before turning to the panting man in front of him.“My prince, she won&rsqu
I think we would gone through like this, grabbing onto each other’s warmth, if it weren’t for the sudden knocks against the wooden doors to his office.I gasped, pulling my body away from his, letting my thoughts and morals return to me. I gulped, trying to control my laboured breathing as I looked into his eyes. My heart thundered in my chest as irritation washed over his face, “What?!” A disapproving growl.I found myself almost jumping in surprise at the power and authority that radiated through him. An aura that brought people to their very knees.“Viviane, wants to see you.”My head shot up at the name, while I didn't feel a bubblingjealousy, anger coursed through my veins. Perhaps it was towards the irritation I, too, felt at the sudden disturbance or maybe it was from the uncontrollable urges my body was suddenly under.. influenced by his very touches.Regret? Yes...
I almost shook my head as my urges became too strong to fight, or to control, perhaps that’s why my hands seemed to have a mind of their own. They grabbed a hold of his collars and pulled him down to my level again, immediately crashing my lips with his.I waited to feel the shock at my sudden movements, but I didn’t feel any bit of that emotionor anything alike from my actions.. All I felt was relief.. Pure relief of being able to breathe again after drowning for so long. There was no war of emotions in my chest as my lips moved against his. It made mysenses go numb, making me unable to think how wrong this was.I wanted answers, yet here I was, kissing the life out of this man like he was the air my lungs deeply craved for. Once again leaving them quick and unfinished as his lips practically brutalised mine.. a kiss, a bite.. everything a rush, as the simple gesture spoke with such need. Faster, deeper and hungrier has my hands moved up
“Stop!” I snapped, my voice almost cracking as I spoke. I blinked trying to clear the dizziness his charming eyes brought to my mind.“What?” His lips spoke the question, making me admire how softly they moved to release it.. So enchanting to admire and crave for. The seafoam eyesseemed to dominate his whole face, especially with the intensity they shone with, the finest feature, standing fiercely against his dark locks of hair.“Stop looking at me like that, Tristan!” I snapped, trying to push his strong built body off mine. But my desperate attempts remained unfruitful.“Like what?” The anger in his eyes softened and the seafoam colour shone with a mesmerising glow, than the intensity. A glow that cleared some bit of the confusion within them, dimming the seafoam colour with a slightly darker shade. I didn’t understand the ways the colour worked, perhaps if was his way showing, or allowing some
"I have seen many forms of tricks over the years. You will not fool me.""I was never trying to fool you, Tristan Slade!""I don't understand how you're my mate." His rough voice sounded through, harsher, as he let me freed of his grasp.The sudden loss of the sparks and his touches left me in a state of loneliness and a chilling coldness, like I had been surrounded or being pushed down by a fog of darkness. A fog embraced me into its coldest depths, keeping me locked in place, away from the sensations he had brought... making me wonder if I should accept this coldness that was suddenly surrounding me.It hurt, something hurt as I felt the fog push me down, something that prevented me from reaching forward; reaching towards the man before.. the man who had appeared in my dreams.I pushed myself against the cold, allowing the fog's coldness to embrace me further, "We are forbidden.." My lips had spoken the words, but my voice sounded foreign i
Tristan frowned deeply gazing over every feature of my face once again. I gazed into the bright seafoam colour, waiting for Alec and Austin to leave. From my peripheral view, I saw them both looking up at Tristan, silently asking if he was ok with the demand I laid out.He nodded slowly turning slightly towards them, but his eyes never left mine for a second, even as they exited and closed the door behind him.I smirked, ready to break the damn silence that dominated the room as we studied each eyes, trying yet again, to find the unknown, “Forbidden, huh?” I raised an eyebrow.He sighed, turning to the side, wrenching his gaze from me, “Why are you here, Jisoo?”I rolled my eyes, “Why do you think I am here, Toothless?”“There’s nothing for you, here.” He muttered, round his large table to sit on his chair. His eyes casted away now, not even letting me spare a glance at those
I gasped, stiffening under his boldness, but didn’t get much time to react as a loud deep voice broke through, “Austin!” I almost shivered under the coldness it held, like sharp shards of ice piercing your skin.Austin chuckled, as if used to it, pulled away from me, allowing me to see Tristan by the door, a deep scowl and a sharp glare within those seafoam eyes, making them shine with a stronger intensity. His hands balled into fists as his eyes glared at Austin, who stood next to me.“Relax big boss, just having a little bit of fun.” He replied calmly, causing me to raise an eyebrow.“You’re worse than those New York pricks,” I muttered, shaking my head and stepping into the office, paying little to no attention to Tristan as I passed him.Alec was the first I saw as I stepped in, he shook his head, presumingly at Austin. Walking into the centre of the office, I could feel a pair of eyes boring into
I stared at my leg for what seemed for hours. I sat there as shock engulfed me in a whole; a fog that wrapped me within itself. I wanted to open my mouth, trying to give myself some sort of reassurance, but nothing came, my mind was still processing what I had witnessed.I grazed over my leg, waiting for pain to strike through, to make me regret ever touching the wound. No agonising pain, but all I felt was the soft touches of fingertips over the bare skin. No blood, no cracks, no cuts… Nothing but soft smooth skin.My breathing hitched my throat, maybe a mirage or dream or something I hoped to see, only to be pulled back into reality as the pain took its effect, but even as I sat there, waiting for that thought to become reality.. it simply didn’t.I shook my head several times and rubbed my eyes, making sure what I saw, is what I saw. Letting out a deep sigh, I hung my head in my hands, feeling completely overwhelmed and lost.
