The devil does not come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for.

- Tucker Max.

Everyone enjoys different things, different genre, different music, I enjoy watching people bleed when their face show the terror I made them feel.

It gives me power. It assures me that I am the one with power and not the other way. I have never craved anything in my life like I live for power.

And, the screams of the man who tried to mess with me sounds like the most soothing music right now. Aleeza is sleeping in her room peacefully while I on the other hand am taking a walk in my basement to see the suffering of people I caused at midnight.

My feets came to a halt when my eyes fell on the woman lying down on the floor with her knees brought up to her chest. I recognized her from the night when she witnessed me murdering a 21 year old boy.

He was an asshole. A fucking asshole who was taking pleas

    And, all of a sudden she felt really tired. Like the world has drained her for everything that she had. -Unknown. |I R I S|The night passed quickly and surprisingly enough, I found myself covered with a blanket in the morning when I woke up. There was no one else that came to my mind other than Rowan who could have done that. Because, of course, the people here aren't saint who provides blanket and food to the people they have kidnapped. I am starting to think that maybe Rowan isn't as bad as thought of him to be. But it's only been one day and the image of their friend killing a boy of my class is imprinted in my mind which makes it hard to believe anyone associated with him. His heart didn't melted when the boy was begging him. He didn't even flinched when he shot him in the head and he didn't hesitated when he pointed the gun at me to kill me. "I can't believe him." I heard a feminine voice that echoed through the hall of the basement before it reached me. Is she another pr

    Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. -Edgar Allan Poe.|L O R E N Z O|"What on Earth do you think you brought her here for?" I called from behind and all three of their heads turned towards me. Aleeza looked furious when met my eyes and Rowan looked like he would support her in everything right now. Lucas couldn't care less about the matter right now as he ignored everyone. My eyes stopped when they met her violet ones. Her eyes widened in terror and I noticed how she deliberately but quickly took steps back. I couldn't help the smirk that overtook my face when I realised the terror I fill people with just by my presence. "What on Earth was she in basement for?" Aleeza seethed and the way her eyes were shooting daggers in my direction and the way her jaw is clenched, I am pretty sure she is furious right now. "To die," I answered simply as I made my way towards them. "Shut up, Lorenzo." Aleeza warne

    Why do we cling to what we loose while we ignore what we still hold? -Steven Erikson. |I R I S|"Don't be scared. You're safe now." Rowan reassured and I was starting to believe at these two. "Yup." Aleeza said popping the 'p' as she settled the tray of snacks on the bed in front of me. I am really hungry. I have barely ate anything from last two days. Even the food Rowan brought me last night didn't do anything for my lost appetite. But now when I have some hope that I could be safe. Like, maybe, just maybe, I can live. I am suddenly starving. "This is your room." Aleeza informed me when I took one snack from the tray and put it in my mouth enjoying the crunchy taste on my tongue. I closed mt eyes and devoured the taste of the delicious food. "Thank you." I thanked her with a genuine smile on my lips. I don't remember the last time I smiled with all those chaos going on in my life. Aleeza returned my smile and I turned my head to Rowan, "Th

    He was a man of black and white. And, she was color. All the color he had. -Fredrick Backman. |L O R E N Z O|My eyes fluttered open in the morning when I saw that the sun has already rose. Groaning, I got up from the warm embrace of my bedsheet, stretching my body. I ran a lazy hand through my messy blond hairs. Sliding the curtain to one side, I took in the sunrays that tried to reach me through the glass window. My eyes feel down on Aleeza and the little cat who were sitting in the garden, talking like two lost friends. Aleeza did the most of talking Iris only gave her small smile in return every now and then. "Admiring the view?" Lucas spoke and I found him standing beside me. I don't even know when he came here. His eyes focused on the girls sitting in the garden. "Nothing to admire, Lucas." I said turning around from the window and throwing a t-shirt over my head, covering my naked upper body. "Come on, she is so fucking gorgeous." Lucas

    What a marvellous feeling it would be, if we could say exactly how we felt. What a monumental victory. What a terrifying thought. -Akif Kichloo|I R I S|Two days have passed in the blink of an eye with these two persons always around me. At this point, I think they are more scared for me than I am. Even after four days of being here I haven't checked the whole mansion, which I desperately want to do because this is just how beautiful it is. "Wanna hear a joke?" Rowan asked from the wooden floor in the room he was laid down on. "Not really." Aleeza said, quickly. In these four days I've realised that whenever Rowan says there's a joke it will never be funny. Never. "Pleaseeeeeee." He whined looking at us with his puppy eyes. Aleeza and I looked at each other. We rolled our eyes before saying, "Fine, go ahead." We said in unison.Rowan now took the criss cross sitting position on the floor, actively. "Knock Knock." Rowan started, excitedly.

    There is something so fucking magical about her smile. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|"Food," She replied to my question without looking at me. She sounded annoyed? The way she has been walking in this mansion since last four days and giving her angelic smile to Rowan and Aleeza made me want to throw her out of my damn mansion or leave myself. Because that melodic laugh of hers always sent a weird sensation in my body, the one I am not familiar with. I didn't even realised when my feets started walking on their own and stopped just behind her body. I towered her 5 foot 5 inches figure with my tall one. She tilted her head upwards and those big violet eyes looked up at me with the same fucking innocence in them. "Careful with your attitude, little cat." I warned not taking my eyes off her face. Her eyes flickered down before coming back to meet mine, again. Resting my one hand on the kitchen counter behind her, I leaned down and I felt her

Yes the most she extended her visit is for one day. So, I am left with three days to spend with her. Strangely, I don't feel scared among these people anymore, except him. Because he always have this dark look in his eyes that he gives me as if he wants me to be scared of him. Like, that's the only thing he wants. Even Mason doesn't give me that scary look and scowl anymore since I've made pancakes for me. I am glad everyone liked them. "Guys, it's 3 in the morning." Mason whined in sleepy voice, rubbing his eyes with the back og his hands. "Don't ruin it, Mason!" Aleeza complained as she tried to make him stay till the end of the third movie we are watching right now. It's just the four of us. Lucas, Mason, Rowan and me. For the first t

Rowan was sprawled on the couch while Lucas kept on waking up again and again due to the sudden imbalance he was receiving because of being sleepy. Both the girls were sleeping with their heads resting on my either shoulders. To my surprise, even Iris had her head on my shoulder and she looked deep in sleep. I was stuck in a weird situation and I had no idea of how am I suppose to get out of it. I kicked Lucas since he was closer than Rowan and he fell down on the floor from the couch."What the f-" He cursed but stopped when his eyes fell on me. He looked back and forth between Aleeza and Iris before cocking a confused brow at me. "Help me with them." I told him

    What we lived through is living in us. -Unknown. |I R I S|"I have a surprise for you." Both Lorenzo and Rowan said in unison. While Rowan had a big ass smile on his face regarding the same, Lorenzo had an evil smirk plastered on his face. I stared up at them, confused. "What surprise?" Lucas asked on my behalf. "Wait!" Rowan exclaimed and quickly rushed outside the mansion, leaving the three of us behind to wait for him. He returned with two people on his tail, but he was blocking my view so I could not really see them, until he stepped aside letting me take in my surprise. "Oh my god!" The words left my lips when I saw Tori and Vince standing at a few meter distance.Tori was wearing a yellow top and black jeans while Vince on the other hand was dressed formally, like going on a business trip. I waited no more time before I rushed to them and pulled Tori in a none crushing hug. She hugged me back, happily. "I am so happy that

    An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. -Gandhi. |I R I S|"Good morning," A husky and drowsy voice greeted me in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I smiled, contently, at the beautiful sight in front of me. He was hovering my body and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck when I gave him a smile. His nose tickled my sensitive skin, pulling out a giggle from me. My hands found their to his back and I sighed in pleasure as he marked my translucent skin with his torturous kisses. He took hold of my both hands in his one and pinned them above my head. His eyes gazed into mine for a fleeting second before he leaned down and crashed his lips against mine, holding me caged under his huge body. "God! I missed you." He whispered against my lips before he shoved tongue inside my mouth, ravishing it. I was completely at his mercy and he was merciless. His free hand explored my half naked body as his hand travelled from my s

    Peace be upon those who hand pick their words, for fear of hurting anyone. -Unknown.|I R I S|Today, I am going to talk to Marcus. Because, umm, I kind of got distracted from the mental note I made last night. Anyways, I wore my white crop and black jeans before I headed towards his room. Marcus, I mean. Marcus' room is right opposite to Lorenzo's. The mansion is silent today, as if, people are still asleep. Most importantly Rowan. He is the only one who keeps this mansion alive with his cheerful screams when his favourite team wins a match, or when he running away from the other mam whoever he has pissed or annoyed in the mansion on the specific days. Once, I was standing in front of Marcus' room, I heaved out a long breath and lifted my hand to knock on his door. I waited for him to open the door while I thought about all the things I can possibly talk to him about. His sister? All the things starts from her and end on her. I was bu

    I want you. Your bones. Your body heat. The bite marks your teeth leave, to see how bad and beautiful those eyes look beneath me. -Beau Taplin. |I R I S|After spending the whole day together inside the room with Rowan, talking and watching movies, we finally came out of that hole at night, during the dinner time. Lorenzo, Lucas and Marcus were already sitting at the dinner table, waiting for us while the servants served the food. Lorenzo's eyes immediately came to meet mine as if he has suddenly got some super natural powers to know about my whereabouts. I descended the stairs with Rowan on my tail. When we reached the dinner table, Rowan was quick to take a swat right next to Marcus, who by the way looked very lost and was barely eating. I made a mental note to have a conversation with him after dinner. I sat down next to Lorenzo on the dinning table, his heavy gaze ready to burn a hole in my head with the intensity he is watching me.

    A loss is not always a lesson. Sometimes it's just a tragedy. -Unknown. |I R I S|I saw through my half open lids as he immediately rushed to me in the burning house. Vince."Iris!" He called out again but my body feels so hot and exhausted that it feels almost impossible for me to say anything. The wound in my chest hurts so much, "Iris, open your eyes." Vince patted my cheeks as he tried to get me back to my senses. Vince looked worried. Sick worried. Like with me, he himself is going to get admitted in the hospital along with me. If we would even reach there in time. "Fuck!" He cursed and if he is cursing then the matter is really worse. Because Vince does not curse. I have never heard him curse except the one time when Tori fell down the stairs. Vince was scared for her because he thought she is going to die and leave him alone. He might not say it but it is very obvious that he loves his sister so much. Tori is lucky to have h

That stupid human being threw a bucket of cold water on me. It not only ruined my precious sleep but also ruined my sheets as well. And, now he is sitting at floor in my room while the servant changes the sheet. I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth when all I wanted to do was sleep. "Hurry up, lazy lad." He yelled out from outside growing impatient after ruining my morning. With brush in my mouth I could not properly speak so I just rolled my eyes and went ahead to spit out the content in my mouth. I splattered cold water on my face and my eyes did not felt as heavy as before anymore. I am going to kill Rowan. Was my first thought since my brain

I woke up after a long night that provided me with the enough rest I needed for today. Stretching my arms, I let out a lazy yawn and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm. When my eyes opened properly, I looked around in the room I was sleeping in. The same room, I used before. Everything seems exactly the same, just a few changes here and there. I smiled at the memories that are connected to this room, fondly, before standing up from the bed.I opened the curtains of the room letting the sun rays enter the room to lighten up the dark room. Light reached almost all the corners of the room, filling it with a new yellow and glowing light. My lips curved in a cheerful smile at the joy of this mew beginning.ast night, I decided to give my relationship with Lorenzo another chance. Despite all

I started, speaking with my heart because I do not remember remembering these words when I was preparing for the apology speech that Google helped me write. "I made mistakes. I disappointed you. I hurt you." I confessed all my mistakes, "But, I never meant to." I told her. "I am not trying to justify my actions here. Trust me." I insisted as if my world would crumble down if she would believe otherwise. Her violet orbs stayed focused at me while I spoke, not saying a word or interrupting me, "I.. I want to tell you that everything was wrong. It was so fucking wrong. And, you do not know how fucking sorry I am." My voice shakes when I say this and I control myself from breaking into a crying mess. Because I feel th
