- HAZEL - It’s dark. I am walking down a hallway I’m well accustomed to without any source of light. None in my hand, not even my phone, and none in the building. I just know where I’m headed. I’m going to meet someone. The last person I’d actually ever want to meet but I don’t have much of a c
- HAZEL - My body jumps up with a scream. I’m panting hard and breathing heavily while having the worst mental breakdown I’ve ever experienced and I’m voicing it out loud with wails. “What? What’s wrong?!” Killian sits up. He’s by my side, putting an arm around me but I can’t hold myself. I burst
- KILLIAN - I stare at the bed long enough to study her response to things. Hazel’s eating her fourth bagel while, not something I agree with, brushing her hair. She’s also watching a sitcom on the tv. After last night, the disturbance which forced her to wake up, I’m just letting her do her th
- KILLIAN - I ring the door bell. Getting into the estate she lives in was not hard at all considering I have already been here once. Or have I? I can’t remember but I do know I’ve sent her a gift before. One she might be receiving sometime soon again. Maybe this time, it’ll be her own body parts i
I hear the sound of quiet movements as a body lunges up the ground, seeking stamina on a wall while running ahead, towards me. This person is also unwise, I can tell every shift of the objects in this room by the second. I’ll let him or her come. Just when I feel the swift brush of air behind me,
- ASAMI - An ally might overstep boundaries but passing your judgment by ordering her death is uncalled for. Those men weren’t sent to kill me, but according to They, if I ended up dead in the process, he won’t hold it against any of them so they were left to roam freely doing whatever they wanted
I stand in front of his car. I don’t know why but being this close to him, alone, when there’s nothing obstructing my thoughts seems scary. . . I got so caught up with what was happening around me that I didn’t think this through. Did Hazel say something to him? Is that why he’s here? I feel bil
“So you know how to plead?” Sarcasm oozes off his tone. “Have you learnt to offer mercy though?” Seeing him take the knife out of its leather strap scares me. “Pleasee. She’ll never smell my presence again. I’ll be away from her, just don’t hurt me, Killian please.” My words are getting jumbled as
- ASAMI - It hit me like a wave the moment my mind and body became responsive to stimuli. My memories came crashing back to me all at once like a plague and what’s worse? I can actually feel an ache at the back of my head. I bite my lower lip to hold in the groan that nearly leave my lips at the a
She is nothing like a lady. Or not a decent one at best. I wonder if she treated all her victims the same way. I wonder if she dined to their demise. “You surely have good taste with wine.” She husks, her voice dragging out. The lady rests her elbows on the desk, clapping both her hands to a side
- KILLIAN - I let out a sigh, playing with my zippo in a dark room in the penthouse of a hotel. I’m expecting an important guest tonight, one I’ve wanted to meet for a very long, long time. The end of one side of my lips curl. I’m not smiling. Far from that, underneath this eerie smirk of mine is g
I let out an exhale, remembering every encounter him and I had since the night we met. He was flattering. Very gentle and the good kind of masculine. He also held me to him when he lied about us to Kate. . . . And even though it’s just two people I’ve been with all my life, I’ve not been in a rel
- HAZEL - By the time I woke up, he was gone. My bed was nicely laid despite being on it and my window was shut. I couldn’t perceive his cologne and there was not even a single trace of him ever being in my room. That sucked. I know he was here but it doesn’t seem so. I miss waking up to him in
Her room is girly. Way too girly. All stylised with feminine colours. This makes me chuckle under my breath. Sleeping in a room like this would give me nightmares but I’m pretty sure she gets cotton candy dreams. The irony is funny. “Your room is. . .” I clear my throat, looking for the right word.
- KILLIAN - It was quite easy. Coming over. Not having access to her the whole day got to me. Even while working, it was all I could think about. That’s why I decided to pay her a visit. A surprise one. This morning may not have been everything we hoped for but I know her too well to know that
- HAZEL - I stare out the window, sat on my bed, enjoying the night sky and city lights. A smile forms on my lips as I take a breath of fresh air at the nostalgia. Home. I’ve missed home. It’s non chaotic and less harmful. It’s warm and cosy. Everyone loves me here. Sadness suddenly becomes arde
- KILLIAN - I raise my hand up then bend it so it touches the opposite shoulder. After this, I let my other hand rest on the elbow or my stretched hand and yawn, stretching my body out while standing in the office this whole thing began, the hunt for power and the acquiring of power. I’m at the Iv
