They say that the loveliest angels makes the cruelest demons and my darling,You were so kind and beautiful before they dragged you to hell. -c.k.|Z Y R A|He didn't let it go. I am in my room hearing the sound of knocking on my door from the other side. I thought me avoiding him for whole day would help this situation but I guess it only got worse. Because he is now knocking like a mad man. I control the urge to open the door and slap the shit out of him. But that would mean confronting him and telling him that what we did last night was the last thing I can afford in my life right now with everything happening around. The loud sound of him thumping his large hand against the wooden door reaches my ears again and I groan in frustration. I searched for the earplugs Flora bought me someday and plugged them in my ears listening to some random songs. With my lack of interest in songs, movies and all the gossip shit you might thi

We are each our own devil, and we make this world hell. -Oscar Wilde. |N I C O L A S|"Ghost went inactive on missions almost two years ago. Since then she is only involved in stealing missions." Shawn explained. Lately, he seemed to be looked obsessed by ghosts work. The woman who is faceless for all of us. "You sound obsessed with her." Logan gave words to my thoughts. "Because she is fucking fantastic." Shawn retorted. "Nic, there is an important underground fight today." Crystal informed as she appeared on the door. "I would go there to handle that." She added. Just then an idea popped up in my mind. It's been three days since I confronted Zyra. Life has been pretty busy lately. I am sure all of us can use some time to ourselves. "Crystal." I called after her and she turned around, "Everyone would be there tonight." I told her and she nodded understanding as she headed out of the room. Hmm. An underground fight. °°°People were sc

You can never articulate to others what you feel in your bones because you rarely understand it yourself. -Connor Franta.|Z Y R A|"Is everything ready for tonight?" Shawn questioned Logan, putting the call he was on, on hold. Logan gives him two thumbs up in answer and Shawn get backs to the call as he walked away from us to finish the call in silence. "What's going on between you and Nic?" Flora's whispering fell in my ears and I turned my head to see her smirking at me waiting for some sort of gossip. But she has got the wrong person. I give her a blank lazy stare and she keeps her grin permanent. "You aren't going to tell me?" She concluded, finally, when the emotion of fake sadness took over her face. "No." "But I am your best friend." She reasoned whining like a toddler who asked for a damn candy. It is not like I don't want to tell her. But what should I tell her? There is nothing clear in the first place for me to explain it f

What I feel for you can't be conveyed in phrasal combinations; it either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise -- It beats words. It beats worlds. -Katherine Mansfield.|N I C O L A S|"Make sure, the security is tight enough. I won't tolerate any mistake." I said on the phone and the incharge of security replied from the other side.Without saying anything further, I disconnected the call. It's been a long day and there is so much more to still go. Throwing auctions has never been easy but at least I enjoy the power it gives me.I laid down on the bed with my legs falling down the bed in an attempt to take a quick relaxing nap. But the ringing of my phone tells me otherwise. Groaning, I picked the call up."Yeah, Crystal?" I asked."The firearms are checked and the security is in place. Can you tell Logan to take my place for next hour?" Crystal requested and I told her it will be done before hanging the call.It isn't possible for one

Tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway. -Edgar Allan Poe|Z Y R A|Everyone is busy and exhausted. Yet, they go on. Crystal looks like she can even sleep in standing posture right not, while Logan is slacking off even in walking. Shawn keeps his expressions in check but by the way he shifts his weight from one leg to another in a few minutes says a lot about his exhaustion. "Here, have some coffee." Flora said extending the tray of coffee mugs in Crystal's direction, she gives him a thankful smile before she got back to work with the mug of coffee resting beside her. Flora then goes on and hand a mug of coffee to every busy soul in the room. Once done with her work, she returned back to me plopping down on the couch beside me. "Can't we help them?" Flora asked, sympathizing with them. "We're outsiders." I told her. Because no matter what bond we share with the people living here. That doesn't change the face t

Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|The hall is surrounded by different species of people. Some laughing their heart out while there is a permanent scowl on other halves' face.The bright lights shining in the hall and the huge chandelier sparkling right above my head is adding to the glamour of the auction.My eyes wandered in the hall full of people until they stopped on a certain woman with green eyes and dark hairs. She was wearing a dark green colored classy gown with long slit that stopped on the top of her mid thigh. The top of her gown is of sparkling black color with one sided strap of color like her eyes.She stands out in the crowd of hundred

I am not sure which is worse - intense feelings or absence of it. -Margaret Atwood.|Z Y R A|"May I have this dance, please?" A familiar voice reached my ears from behind. I almost thought that I hallucinated it but my doubts confirmed when I turned around to look at the very familiar face. Cillian Vader. His brown eyes stared back at me with amusement flickering in them and for the first time in years I felt an emotion. Fear. "Who are you?" Nicolas asked him with salty behaviour. He was clearly not pleased by the way the man in front of me was staring me at. "I am Cillian. Cillian Vader." He said extending his hand towards Nicolas, who was standing right by my side, for formal introduction. Nicolas accepted his handshake, his grip firm as if warning him with his eyes glaring back at Cillian."Nicolas." He introduced himself, lazily. But Cillian only chuckled lightly pulling his hand back. Cillian forwarded his hand towards me

Being raised with cold eyes, taught me not to cry. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|Flora is fine. It was just a matter of seconds where she had difficulty breathing but other than that she was completely fine. But it doesn't matter that we aren't running out of time to get her treated even when the payment is ready and we have the diamond but my feelings for Nicolas are making it difficult. That's why I always preferred it without feelings. Feelings fuck everything up. Feelings were the sole reason that forced me to shut mine off but then he came like a storm and awakened all the feelings I tried so hard to put to sleep. Only if my life wouldn't have been so complicated it had be easy to sort things out. But everything is tangled here and my priority is Flora as health and her treatment. Not amount of feelings can ever change my priority from that. "Zyra, Are you okay?" I heard him ask, standing beside me with his hand resting on the small of
