All I needed was a sugar rush to keep me going all night. I peeked inside the kitchen from my spot. Luke was taking extra time. Before I could protest, a shattering shrill caused me to cover my ears. In no time Adam was hovering over me, forcing my head down towards his chest. But the force caused me to fall on my side, near the shattered glass window. A prickling pain shot through my arm as my heart raced at the sight of the gun Adam used to shoot towards the broken glass doors.
I turned to look at Grace who was crouched beside sofa, Alex was sheilding Rosaleigh in a careful way while she clung to him like a second skin.
In no time shots rung at the ceiling lights, darkness covering over us. Luke too had a gun

THIRD PERSON POV. "Where is my son?" A cord of coughs followed Edward's gravelly roar as he balanced himself on the throne that once once shone with justice and equality. Earlier when one of his female servant had informed Edward about Edgar's return, he was eager to meet his supposed son, but his excitement was thrown into the midden when he noticed Edgar had returned empty handed. Edward had waited for months for this day and all he attained was a cowering Edgar. "Edgar why dont you answer?" Edward seethed once again, before falling into another fit of coughs. Edgar raised his head a little to look at the once high and mighty dictator was left to nothing but an assemble of bones and tissues. Edward had lost considerable amount of weight in the past few months during Edgar was away. The lung cancer was gradually but definitely consuming Edward, culminating his reign over Orbloem. But Edgar was wise enough to not dream about the day of his ascension to Dictatorship until all the

THIRD PERSON POV. The air in the hall was filled with despondency, the walls were screaming of terror, which were once painted with glee and peace. The lights did little to no work beating away the darkness that had settled on the plush walls of the castle which had been Edward's residence for almost two decades. Ruling as one of the most powerful dictators of the time, Edward was loosing interest as nothing excited him anymore. The people of Orbloem didn't cause any ruckus finally accepting their fate and Edward as their Ruler. Edward was running out of excuses to punish the innocents. Everything including sexually traumatizing young girls had lost its essence as a new complication was making its presence prominent in his life. Edward was aging, his life span nearing the inevitable end no mortal could escape. Death. His once energetic bones now creaked and groaned whenever he tried engaging himself in the venereal act. Edward was in a desperate need of an heir as the whispers abou

ROSALEIGH ISABELLE'S POV It was the first day of the last semester. Yesterday I'd my first sleepover at Grace's place. Although we didn't booze we were high on sugar. The muffins and tarts Lucy got with her were much more addictive than cocaine. Walking to my class, I met my bestfriends Gracelyn and Lucille. They both were my only friends since we shifted here in Nashville after my accident. We were a group of five but Adam and Luke were more like Gracelyn's friends. According to what I was told we previously lived at New York but due to my poor health the doctors prescribed us to move to a less populated city. And my parents being the most protective that they are, I ended here in Nashville. I am currently months afar to get my degree

ROSALEIGH ISABELLÉIt was half past seven when I stood front of the mirror in my room gazing at my reflection. I had kept my face makeup free cause heavy makeup was the last thing I want on my face. With sublte touch up which consist of my eyeliner, a bit of my compact powder and my favourite pink lipgloss. I pinned my hair in half, leaving the most of it on my shoulders. I matched it with my favourite pair of kitten heel shoes.An unknown excitement builded in my heart to meet my guests when a loud growl of a car engine broke my reverie. So they're finally here. I thought heading down to the living room. Miraculously my house had a make over. I couldn't find any flaws in the set up. Each and everything in my house

She chuckled receiving my glare."Nice to see you too.""I'm so happy now that you are finally here, I can let go the responsiblity of protecting Rosaleigh from male attention." She gestured towards the group of boys seated in the middle of the campus grounds."Gracelyn, keep your voice low. You dont want to blow your cover." I whispered smilingly.&nb

LUCILLE The credits rolled in concluding the first film. Small chatters carried on around the living room. Luke had went to get tarts for me. All I needed was a sugar rush to keep me going all night. I peeked inside the kitchen from my spot. Luke was taking extra time. Before I could protest, a shattering shrill caused me to cover my ears. In no time Adam was hovering over me, forcing my head down towards his chest. But the force caused me to fall on my side, near the shattered glass window.

JAYDEN ALEXANDER. I held Rosaleigh close to me before sidling away from the balcony and towards Grace's bedroom. Adam had Lucy shielded in his arms as Grace crouched and crawled behind us. Rosaleigh clutched my shirt as I hugged her with all my might. Small whimpers escaped her lips as she tried to shrink further. We were in Grace's room when Lucy closed the door after Adam and Luke entered. The electric connection went off confirming my suspicions. We were under attack. I took my phone speed dialing Ralph asking for reinforcements. He informed that he was in his way but I couldn't wait any longer. We had to get out of the house from the underground emergency exit. The sounds of something breaking continued as the snipper kept on shooting blind shots. After a while, silence covered the entire place like a thick blanket of snow. "Wha

JAYDEN ALEXANDER. It was first time in past two weeks after our graduation when Rosaleigh had agreed to get out of the house. Everytime we planned an outing Rosaleigh faked illness or found some weird excuses. It was as if she was hiding in the house from something. Today too she had made a point she wouldn't go out in the city so Grace came up with the idea of a movie night at her place. I was glad to have Grace here, she was really helpful when it came to Rosaleigh. During the ride, Rosaleigh kept glancing around as if trying to spot something or someone. After I asked her what's the matter, she replied with an insouciant shrugg before shrinking in the passenger seat.

ROSALEIGH ISABELLÉ Mama had promised a Graduation feast for us as they were the only parents that had attended the Graduation ceremony for all my friends including Luke and Adam as well. Thus the following sunday night we headed out for dinner. Entering the Diner we walked towards the VIP section where a table for eight was set near the pool. Mama had pre-ordered dishes like Lobster with buckwheat piklets and avacado, Radicchio salad with orange and walnut dressing, lemon chicken with steamed rice, red and white wine to flush everything down. "Aunt Rachel thanks for the Austrailian cuisine I love it." Grace sighed taking her seat. Grace was very picky when it came to food unlike any of us and thus Mama made a note to keep everything Austrailian

ROSALEIGH ISABELLE The hall reverberated with another round of applause as the announcer continued with his commencing speech. With bated breath, I moved forward towards the main stage. Currently, all the students stood backstage. It was our graduation day. The internship for our batch was to be conducted after a four-weak break. It would be a 24 weeks program in one of the best hospitals around Nashville. My eyes darted towards Gracelyn and Lucille, as we stood ahead in the queue according to the alphabetic order of our names. I was behind Remus Lynn while Alex was in the upfront with Adam. His blue ceremony gown ending near his ankles where his blue jeans was visible. They seemed into a deep conversation. Amanda Chris

ROSALEIGH ISABELLÉ The days flew by smoothly, most of them were spent in the cafeteria. The year was coming to an end, the cafeteria was buzzing with students sharing the lasts of their beautiful memories trying to capture everything in their cameras. The boy band completed their song as the cafeteria resonated with claps and hoots of appreciation. Students had set a small stage in the center surrounding the tables, while many showcased their hidden talents. "Alex why don't you sing?" Grace prompted, munching a chip ignoring the pair of girls that ascended the stage for a dance duel. "Yes that day you missed your performance." Lucy piped in as Adam and Luke agreed in unison, I recalled the day I had my last blackout. Alex turned deaf ears to their pleas focusing his attention on

ROSALEIGH ISABELLÉThe next morning I walked down from my room leading to the dining area. A part of me eager to start the day. Dad was seated at the head of the dining table hiding behind his broad sheets while Mama took her seat adjacent to his. The dining area smelled of freshly baked Cinnamon rolls. Mama never baked them until it was Christmas and currently we were in mid year. Not that I complained, I've been a fan of Cinnamon rolls. I looked around the table in an attempt to find my favourite rolls. When I spotted them, I broke into a run half way through my way. Halting I grabbed a cinnamon roll and was about to devour it when my gaze fell on Mama. She was no longer sitting but standing and carefully observing my moves, a hand on her chest. My sudden run must
