"Kieran?"
I turned only to find his familiar face. He was wearing that usual white clothing and black pants. He must really like wearing simple clothing.
"It's been a while since you came here. Don't you miss me?" He joked, trudging near me. He sat beside and stared at the little fairies flying around with a genuine smile on his face.
"Drop the act."
My words made him turn in my direction. I can feel his gaze at me but I chose to look in front without meeting his gaze.
I was betrayed enough I can't endure looking at him while hearing the truth from his own mouth.
I feel like I will get betrayed once again today.
But still, I don't want to live with lies anymore. I wanted to face the harsh reality even if it breaks me.
Because a hurtful truth is better than a sweet lie.
"My memory is coming back little by little. It's only a matter of time before I know the truth," I stared at him with my lifeless eyes, his gaze
Kieran already told me everything. I told him to give me some time because I want to think thoroughly and ponder on all the things that were revealed to me. My back shoes made a clicking sound as I trudged along the academy's hallway. The surroundings were dark and no student can be seen around. They are still in classes. Suddenly, the rain poured, filling my ears as it hit the ground loudly. The clouds were dark and no signs of light can be seen in the sky. It went dimmer and dimmer in the hallway. My tracks stopped, making a pause in the middle as silence rang loudly in m ears. My forehead was creased, my fists clenched. I am confused about something I do not know. Kieran told me everything. I knew he was not lying. He told me everything and yet, why do I feel like something is missing? After he told me all the things he knew, why do I feel like there is still something hidden beneath the shadow,
He was alive. That man whom I brought to Kieran. The traitor who betrayed Kairi and his men. He laughed maniacally, his voice echoed within the vast field. It was loud. Maddening. "It was so good to see him desperately clinging onto his life. I already put a curse on him but I did not expect him to be so stubborn. How come that curse had not taken effect? I am certain it would make him suffer, burning his insides until death." He was clearly provoking me, agrin plastered in his face. His face changed but I know it was him. He was once a middle aged man, wrinkles on his forehead, a beard hanging down his chin.But now he is as young as me. And I know his powers might be at its peak at the current state of his body. How did he manage to stay alive? How did he trick Kairi? What is the extent of his power? I saw him once, in the Academy. I have never known something sickening like him
They both lunged at me simultaneously, their footsteps making a faint sound as they hit the ground. "Soul, go back first." She stared at me, bewildered. "What?! Do you want to die?!" "I'll call you when needed." I forced her inside me as I was left all alone. Now, where should I start? They were both running in my direction when I first lunged at that murderer, the guy who introduced himself as Gael back in the academy. I quickly grabbed him in the face, my grip was tight, wanting to crush him completely. I put all of my power in my feet, then went on a dash as I held on to him. Gael's body slammed completely on another border, it made a cracking sound as soon as his back hit the object. Behind me! I swiftly turned when I felt a dangerous presence behind. Damon raised his fist, shifting his arm into a monstrous state, he was about to punch me when I turned and lifted my right leg, meeting his a
I stopped. But then after I went back to my senses. "Focus!" I answered and hit him with attacks. He was not fighting back. Killian was only dodging every hit that I gave as he stared at me with those eyes. Why does he have to look at me like that? After what they have done to me, how could he?! I swung my left arm with full speed, immediately striking a hit on his stomach. But my eyes widened in confusion and rage, again, he did not try to dodge. "You are not taking this seriously aren't you?!"I bellowed, clenching my fists as guilt started to pester in my chest. Why does he have to make me feel like I am the bad guy? Why does he have to do this?! "Tsk!" I turned away and started sparring with the others. I don't think I could look in his eyes any longer. There was sadness, and it was hurting me deep inside. I put my arms in front, defending myself f
"Hi, Paisley!" The door chimed in as I pushed it, a girl in pigtails with a boring look gazed at me. "Do you have some expired desserts there?" I asked, looking over shelves as I pick whatever my eyes landed on. "Yeah, eat them until your stomach hurts." She mumbles as I went over the counter. I can't help but pout with her reaction. "Just say you want to feed your prettiest friend, no need to hide your affection towards me." I placed the food on the counter and then winked. I can't help but laugh as she stared at me with a disgusting look. "In your dreams," She mumbled and gave me the change. I went on the seat and start munching on the chips. "but are you all right? You're not looking great." I chuckled. "Do you mean I usually look great?" "Really, how are you?" My tracks stopped as I heard her question. How am I? That's what I want to know too. Why...
I cannot move an inch. My eyes widen as my complexion turned pale. He was powerful. Too powerful. I felt shivers all over as I saw his raging dark eyes. It was full of rage, anger, hatred. He felt like a seal that's been closed on purpose and now that seal was no longer gone. There was nothing to suppress him anymore. There was nothing left to stop the wrath that's been pestering inside him for too long. Now, I was unsure if I did the right thing or not. I was unsure if this would really do better or just make things worse. One thing I'm certain of, this is all my fault. "G-grave..." I pushed him to use his powers and now I am meeting the consequences. I never knew he could be this dangerous! "Harper, duck!" I immediately threw my body in the ground as panic took over me. Grave's power was going rampant and letting loose, hitting the place behind me. I turned over a
I couldn't help but inhale the fresh air as sky crapers towered above us. How I miss the human world. It makes me feel like I'm back at home. "Stop dawdling, our time's only limited." I pouted hearing my partner's voice. He really is best at killing the mood. "Hey, Killian wait for me!" I quickly catch up to my companion who's walking really fast like a busy businessman. Well, he's a CEO. Maybe it's a habit. I quickly catch up, panting heavily as I walked behind. The city is as lively as ever. Cars honking everywhere and the never-ending traffic, couples and students busy with their coffees and laptops in cafes, that loud noise that never fails to comfort me. It always makes me feel that I'm really not alone. /// I stood frozen still as I looked at him with surprise. Mother of cow! My CEO just turned to be my classmate and on top of that is my frea
"Do we really have to do this?" "I told you we need to observe them first." Killian is really taking this serious. With a fancy shades in his face, he seriously followed our target inside the amusement park. "I mean do we really have to pretend as a couple?" He stared at me with a firm gaze. "Yes." "Why? I don't get it!" But Killian just grabbed my hand and dragged me everywhere. Our target first lined up in the rollercoaster ride. Killian quickly lined up as well, dragging me with him. "Are you serious?! We really need to ride?" "Yeah. Who knows he might do something funny in there." /// "Do you know each other?" "Yes/No" My eyebrow creased a little as our answers were different. Kiiian gaze at me with a puzzled expression but he remained calm. I was lucky enough his expressions are not that easy to tell. But somehow, I felt like I can read him
