>>Hazel

Blood dripped down the butcher’s hook in silence.

The movement was slow, the red liquid slid down till the U-shaped hook, hung there for a while in preparation for the jump, then fell to join the puddle on the floor, making a soundless ripple in it.

Valek turned his head in my direction and his void expressions showed a bit of surprise when he saw me standing there at the door frame.

He sat with his knees parallel to his chest, arms warped around them with one hand holding a butcher's knife.

The room had a strange odd smell to it, it was like the room was a secret place that was often used for something like this.

  • Surrender To Me   My doubts

    >>HazelThe disgusting feeling of having your skin and clothes get stained with blood that is not even your own made my stomach squeeze tightly and I groaned in disgust and pain. The liquid thicker than water seeped into my jeans and drops of it colored the lower part of my shirt.Valek stood there right in his place with an unchanging expression. An expression I couldn’t read because it didn’t show any emotion at all, but at the same time it was an expression that told me he wasn’t affected by my fall at all.For a moment, it even felt like he was just a statue frozen in time with no feelings or anything.He stood dead still in his place with his gaze stuck on me as if he was waiting for me

  • Surrender To Me   Why not accept?

    >>HazelIt was hard and it hurt trying to walk but I still managed it.The sun had come up so I had to at least clean myself up before making an attempt of walking out of the room.As I sat under the shower the scene of yesterday night where Valek carried me all the way back replayed in my mind again and again.For some reason I really feel like he’s soft with me. I mean, I called him a monster but he still helped me out.It was a weird feeling. I was thinking about it over and over again and now I was getting a giddy feeling about it.I think… I was now feeling a bit soft, maybe a little sad too because I

  • Surrender To Me   Acceptance

    >>HazelI think I should just accept it.I thought as I looked at him looking at his house and the people of his house.He has a side like that to him. A side that just seems crazy and a normal person shouldn’t have such a side but so what? He won’t harm me. It’s a side that developed most likely because of his messed up family but he’s not taking it out on people. On that note, he even talked to me in a calm voice even after I yelled at him.I pursed my lips as I stared at him. My heartbeat got a little erratic and this time it was not out of fear.He remembered that I had a sprained ankle and came to find me in my room

  • Surrender To Me   Kidnapping

    >>RamessaI sat in my room filing my nails when I received a message.It was from a private number so I immediately let go of my filer and picked the phone up. I swiped the screen to see what it was.‘Target is finally alone. Should I proceed?’As soon as I read the line I felt so gleeful I immediately typed my answer.‘Yes’And sent it.Ah~ Finally. I knew this day would come when I’d be able to get rid of that piece of dirt from my and Valek’s life. Such a nuisance she was.

  • Surrender To Me   The truth

    >>HazelValek walked towards me with his gaze fixed on me like glue, his silent steps made me realize that he wasn’t wearing any shoes, just like last time. Perhaps this is a habit of his, to not wear something on his feet when he’s ‘destressing’I gulped as he came to the bedside and sat down in front of me. He looked at me as if he was looking into my soul even though the look in his eyes seemed so dead.I think I forgot to breathe as he gazed into my eyes with a heavy aura around him.The blood he had on him made him look terrifying. It added to his already hostile demeanor and it made my mind go blank because he looked like he had lost it.

  • Surrender To Me   Scars

    >>HazelThe shampoo bubbles blew out and popped not far from where they were coming into existence. The light in the room was fairly bright but it didn’t hurt the eyes. The scent of soap was dominant in the tiled area just like the smell of shampoo.Valek relaxed in the bathtub filled with bubble water with his head relaxing at the edge of the tub. A towel was under his head with several folds to make sure the position wasn’t uncomfortable for him.Meanwhile I sat on a small stool behind him washing his hair that had quite some many splashes of blood in them. I had cleaned it once and was now shampooing it a second time.“Are you sure you don’t want to join me?” He asked as he kept his ey

  • Surrender To Me   A talk

    >>HazelThe water moved in the bathtub as Valek shifted his position and let go of my hand.I shrunk back down on the stool still feeling conflicted and surprised, “This-” I was shocked at how he knew about these scars. Did he perhaps see when I slept in his room? I thought about it. Oh! He might have seen them in the beginning when the doctor was tending to me. Has he known all this time? “Are we sharing secrets now?” I placed my hand to cover the scars of my distant past.“We can.” He answered, “If you want this is.” He turned his body to face me directly, “But it has to go both ways.” The water made a few soft splashes as he moved his body, “So,” He gave me a rather mysterious smile, “What

  • Surrender To Me   His preparation

    >>KimThe mansion I and my colleague stood in front of was fairly big but if I consider how big the Vincenzo family main house is, this one appears to be a decent size in front of that.I looked at the porch and wondered why we weren’t welcomed inside. For a house this big, I’m sure they have a guest room or living room to offer the guests a seat but nope. We stand here away from the main door.“Hey,” Ria, the officer who came with me, nudged me with her elbow.“What?” I looked at her.She had her gaze elsewhere before she turned to face me, “Is it only me or are the guards glaring at us?” She whispered.

    >>Roshni (4 years later) “You know.” I licked the ice cream from my ice cream cone as Emilio and I sat on the beach side at night, “I can tell you’ve been meaning to ask something for quite some time now.” He looked at me guiltily, “How long…?” He looked like a criminal who had got caught. “Honestly, for months at this point.” “Shit..” He looked defeated as buried his head in his free hand while the ice cream was melting in his other. “Finish that before it melts onto your hand,” I said and he raised his head to look at the starry sky. He sighed, “It’s nice,” He stared at something distant, “Isn’t it?” The soft sand was comfortable to sit on, the sound of ocean waves was extremely calming and the soft wind that followed just blew one's worries away. “Mmm,” I replied to affirm. Emilio quietly ate his ice cream as he kept looking at the clear black sky and I could tell there was something on his mind but I waited for him to say it first and ate my dessert quietly. The silence b

  • Surrender To Me   Final Answer

    >>Roshni I knew I had to give him an answer. I couldn’t stall it anymore. Not for him, not for me. I knew it wasn’t possible. I knew the words of rejection won’t ever come out of my mouth since I’m madly in love with him too. The feelings that were exploding like a volcano in my heart would say only one thing now. Just looking at him and just thinking about him makes me happy. And perhaps, I should think about what makes me happy. I’m fretting over the world I lived in for centuries but never got to experience these feelings there. But here, it’s different. My life here has been short but I’ve loved every single day. I wish to stay here more than anything, I wish to stay with this person in front of me. “Fine,” I gripped his finger tightly as my own heart pounded violently in my chest, “I’ll stay with you.” I felt so shy it was hard to look at him, “I surrender.” I smiled, “To you.” “Really?” He couldn’t believe it at first. He was even bewildered and stared at me with his eyes

  • Surrender To Me   Confession

    >>Roshni I ran back home. As soon as Lio was done singing, I dashed towards the exit, took the bus, and ran into the mansion, straight to my room Why? Because I was overwhelmed. I ran away because I felt like my feelings would explode. My heart felt so full I had no idea what to do. I crashed on my bed as the sound of my heart pounding drummed in my ears. God! What is this? I’m supposed to be a demon! My heart shouldn’t be trembling like this! I placed my hand on my chest. I guess I’m getting like this because he’s being straightforward now. Before he was avoiding the subject and didn’t respond that well but now, it’s like he’s taken the sword and is charging full speed ahead on the battlefield. My face was hot, my cheeks flushed, and my thoughts a mess. I want him. I want him so much but what about my life in the demon realm? Do I just abandon it? Do I just forsake centuries of life there? I picked the pillow from the bed and hugged it tightly but still the tightness in

  • Surrender To Me   Love

    >>Roshni A few days have passed and Lio didn’t come to visit me. We went to college separately too and to be honest. I had all the time to think for myself. The half of me that was here is already madly in love with him and now that we’ve combined into a whole again, those feelings are affecting me too. I wasn’t expecting I’d fall for this guy and so much that just the thought of him gets me all excited. Now that I think about it, he’s done everything to make me fall for him over the years. He’s fulfilled my wish of living as a human and experiencing all that I’ve ever wanted. He’s been the sweetest most caring person in my life. I rolled on my bed in my room and a soft flush appeared on my cheeks. I know I love him, I was only able to tackle his words that day because my two halves had combined and everything hadn’t merged completely but now, after a few days, everything is in order yet this human heart of mine is in agony. The agony of love. I thought the feeling would neutr

    >>Roshni “You don’t love me,” I told him. “Oh!” He smiled, “But I do,” He seemed quite confident. “No, you don’t,” I shook my head at him “I most definitely do,” He stood his ground, “I always have.” “No,” I shook my head as I felt a little annoyed, “If you did, you would have loved me as Roshni too.” “What makes you think I don’t?” His immediate reply left me baffled. !!! “I- , What?” I shook my head, “You’ve never responded to anything I ever did!” I was feeling furious, “You never made a move.” “It’s because you don’t understand,” His voice got a little serious “I do,” I glared at him, “Your love, your confession of love, it's all fake.” My words made his expression turn grim yet he answered me in a normal voice. “No, you don’t,” He moved to close the space between us and I began to move back. He looked at me with so much longing in his eyes it made me feel things, weird things, “I’ve held myself back for years.” I stopped at the edge of the summoning circle and he close

    >>Emilio (4 years old)“I want you.” I said, “Can’t you come with me?”“Hmmm~” The demon wasn’t sure what to say to me, “You want me?” It looked at me quite fondly, “Why?”“I like you,” I said but my confession alarmed it.“You like me?” It looked at me as if I had said the most unusual thing in the world, “You,” It pointed at me, “A human,” Then it pointed at myself, “Like me?” It looked like it didn’t believe me.I nodded at the question, “Yes.”

    >>RoshniI didn’t notice it at first, but there were some weird markings there written in different places around the circle and the star. It was a language that felt awfully familiar but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it because I had never really seen it before.So why did it feel so familiar? I had no idea.I quietly made my way into the middle of the blood-red drawing and stood there in the center. My emotions and my thoughts were all mixed up.The sight on the scene was too hard to see but with Lio insisting on so much I just decided to through with it.I had an impending sense of danger around me. It made me feel like if I went th

    >>Emilio“Thanks,” I took the box from Aries who came to visit me late at night.“Well,” He shook my hand, “I’m leaving for home now.” He smiled at me and I gave him one back in return, “Are you done with everything?”I nodded, “Yea, everything’s in place,” I looked at the box, “This is the last thing.”“Well,” He stepped back from the porch, “Good luck.” He smiled, “Hope no one dies.”I snickered, “Me too.” I waved at him, “I doubt we’ll be meeting anytime soon.”“Considering how we both live on two different sides of the country.” He shook his head, “No,” He then took a few other steps back, “And clean yourself up before you go to her.” He smirked.I snickered, “The bath’s already running.” I need to get the blood off of me.

  • Surrender To Me   The answer is almost here

    >>RoshniEmilio has traveled a lot, to many places but each time he said he was going to look for something and it wasn’t for the sake of leisure.There’s always been something mysterious about him. It’s like he’s searching for something. I have seen it in his eyes, his passion and obsession towards a goal I’m unaware of.There have been times he brought back some weird things with him when he came back from overseas trips but most of the time, it was just weird ritual books. It was a weird hobby of his to read all that stuff but since it was just a reading hobby, no one said anything about it.It was a cloudy day, the atmosphere was dark and I stood outside the cafe looking
