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

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.

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

When a child is punished for their honesty, they begin to lie. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|"Happy birthday, Zyra." Flora wished me with a bright smile as she pulled me in her embrace for a bone crushing hug. Aleeza did not waited another minute as she jumped in my arms, squealing like a little kid. She looks like it is her birthday today. I smile at her enthusiasm and hug her back. "What are we doing tonight?" Aleeza asked as she broke the hug bit hooked her arm with mine. "Nothing." I told them, flatly."That is not happening again." Aleeza focuses his gaze at me. They know I do not celebrate birthdays, my birthdays, to be more specific. But still every time they try to get me move one step ahead to be optimistic about the day I was born.
