Love Tryout
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Susan was with a guy named Trevor at a table in a bar on Russo Street. He was handsome, and with that smile, the world seemed right. But it was not.
Susan had a major restraint on herself because Vivian was nearby. She couldn’t see her, but she felt her presence. Susan tried to distract herself with a little civil discussion with Trevor.
“You’re from around here?” he asked.
Chatterings were coming from different tables, the music came soft and sweet from the speakers, and the air had that of a romantic ambiance to it.
Susan heard everything and everyone, and it wasn’t hard to decipher who was speaking. She noticed Trevor’s words come to her like a sweet tone, and she said, “Not particularly. But I live here.” She looked around with a smile on her face. “I love this place, and the city, actually.”
“You must have been here a long time to come to that conclusion,” Trevor said.

Dena was setting some bodies on fire, and Hannah moved to decapitate the heads of a few men sitting by the corner.With brute force, Susan tossed a man against the wall. Before his back could collide with it, she dreadfully aimed two rods for his shoulder blades. They passed through, spilling blood, and pinned him against the wall.The man wailed in pain, Susan walked up to him.“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to do this,” Susan said, stopping before the man. “Now, I’ll like to know what you know. Rumour has it you’ve found a way to hide certain things from me. I need to know how.”“He was here,” the man said. “His representative. He said the chant would work against you, and we tried.

The Consuming Heart Queen Of The City
At midday in High Town city, Beatrice walked into the Crystal Bank to make a withdrawal. Beatrice met a queue within the bank, but with a card Elvis had given to her in hand, she showed a security man, then he led her to a private room where she was quickly attended to.With a bag of money in hand, Beatrice was seen out of the room, then the sound of rapid gunshots was heard within the bank.Beatrice briskly turned to see lots of armed men, she laid on the ground and held her head.This, she thought would be the end of her, and so she stayed still and prayed.“Nobody move, else, we would kill you.”More gunshots were heard, and Beatrice flinched a little.Feared raked at her body, causing her to shiver. It was hopeless now, Beatrice thought. She would either be killed here, or she might lose her money. She remembered the failed robbery in her restaurant and wondered if such a miracle could repeat itself here, today.Soon,

Susan appeared with Vivian on red reflective tiles. Before her was a red veil, and Susan knew who sat beyond the veil. For some reason, she couldn’t stand because she didn’t have the strength to. So she stayed on her knees just how she had appeared, and she knew exactly why she had been brought here.Susan recognized this vast court as her mother’s privy, and it had lots of red silky curtains that danced to a wind circulating within.Vivian, in a red gleaming armour, bowed before the Queen, then she stood erect, and turned to face her sister, Susan.“The Queen wishes to know why you caused a war with the lines of power,” Vivian said.Susan laughed. “Like she cares. Why, can’t she end the war?”“You’ll behave yourself before the Queen, or—”“It better be with death you wish to threaten me with. Then, I’ll have no cares, and nothing to worry about. That way, I
The Consuming Heart The Black Knight
Susan finished reading a newspaper as she sat on her sofa by the window in her room upstairs, then she kept it aside, and moved to pick up a novel by her bedside table. She returned to the sofa, opened the page where she had stopped last night, and kept on reading.Reading novels, Susan discovered, was perfect for distraction. It took her mind off recent happenings, of her world, and took her to a world of her own. In her world of fantasy, she didn’t care what happened in her and without, especially the disturbance slowly stirring in High Town City (which the news, and the newspapers carried), and the great, uncontrollable urge to kill. She cared for nothing in this state actually, save for the story she read, and this way, she could control her power.The voices in her head would always speak, and sometimes, they read to her. She loved it when they read—these voices could be soothing. But there was nothing more annoying than when she was the central subjec

Susan turned to leave.Vivian stopped her by the shoulder and tossed her with her back against the wall.Susan released herself from the wall. “You really want to do this here?” she asked. “I am ready if you are.”“Oh, I’m always ready,” Vivian said, Janice moved to stand next to her.Susan laughed. “Two against one. That’s fair. You two always thought you could restrain me, but I just thought to behave around you because you weren’t really who I was scared of, and quite frankly, I’m fairly certain Mercy wouldn’t want to involve herself in a bit of family squabbling. So, what’s it going to be? A lecture, or a fight?”“How about both,” Vivian said.Susan folded her arm. “Then, this would be interesting. However, Dena and Hannah should leave with the lady, for if they stay, or decide to choose a side, I doubt I would be merciful. Except to the lady of cou

“They may fire me with the way you keep making me miss office hours,” Jake said to Susan as he had lunch with her at the Pelazio Hotel restaurant.Susan smiled. “Relax. I bought your company.”Jake laughed. “You can’t be serious.”Susan arched a brow and made a side head gesture.“Wait. You actually are serious?” Jake added.Susan chuckled. “Yeah, I am serious. And I need you to be the new managing director. Your old boss is under strict orders to educate you on all that you need to know. So, what do you say? Do you accept the offer?”Jake’s expression had the look of surprise mixed with unbelief. “Wow. This only happens if someone is in love with you. Are you in love with me, Susan?”Susan laughed. “So shocked,” she said. “What if I am?”“You—you—you play hard to get like nothing can go through you. And
The Consuming Heart Prepare For War
Susan materialized before Vivian. “What is it?”“It’s time,” Vivian said. “Chadwick is here. Hannah has been called back to the blood sea to join the bloodstone army. Dena would be joining her. Janice and I have also been called back.”“What’s with the big preparation?”“He comes not alone, but with an army. There are things you need to do to ensure our victory, else, the casualties would be so great.”Susan gave a single nod. “What about the lines of powers, and all those under our control?”“They are currently preparing,” Vivian said. “The war will be fought on the surface. It won’t be beneath the blood sea like before.”“This means he has us at a disadvantage.” Susan briefly looked away.“There’s nothing to fear. You’re all he should fear. Remember that. I must go.” A red diamond armo
The Consuming Heart The War
An army of visible translucent spirits stood with a storm wind, and they were like the colours of ice in the distance. Before them was an army of bloodstones all in red gleaming armours made from red diamond, and in the lead was Vivian, Janice, Hannah, and Dena.Vivian saw Chadwick standing twelve feet tall behind this ghost army with a host of others a few feet taller than him. They looked like men, but from here, she could see they had no eyes, no soul, no spirits. Surely, these were the Red Haux, and they made a perfect match for beings made from stones, she thought. Now, to make the first order. She just hoped Susan made it in time for mother was watching.No, mother couldn’t make it to this party. The throne required that she stayed on it. She leaving was definitely the last resort. But there was Susan, so there was no need for that.Flashes of lightning lit the dark clouds above both armies, and they simply waited for which army would make the first

The Consuming Heart She's Now Her Curse
With fire and blood in her eyes, and with a speed that made time halt and made her unseen, causing Chadwick and the Red Haux to wonder, Susan engaged these beings all at once. It wasn’t with a curse she did this. It was with absolute raw power, and right now, she was in the blood rage.No sparks of fire lingered in mid-air, nothing to mark Susan’s presence save for the tearing and slicing of skins. Heads had been sliced off, but it was all still within a second, so her victims were alive, but briefly, for once the hand of time moved, it would be against them, and they would see a bitter end.But Susan didn’t stop. She didn’t want to. She loved the feel of their skin against her swords and sharp claws and the smell of their blood as perceived from mid-air. She could see the horror in their eyes, then Eleanor spoke.“Stop!”Susan zapped to a stop before her enemies, and they all looked at her. She unfroze time, and the Re
