Sara remained under the water until her lungs protested for air, her mind and body were drained but she wasn’t given any chance to rest, her training wasn’t advancing either because her body was exhausted, and she badly needed to sleep.
Stepping out of the tub, Sara dried herself before walking to her bed, not bothering to put anything on for she was too tired to even do that.
Curls so lush and beautiful, red like the sky of dusk, gathered in a beautiful up do with few loose strands left to contour her beautiful face, her blue eyes sparkling like sapphires as they looked up at a pair of rubies, shining with equal happiness, his body, tall and proud, dressed in black as if the color was created for him, towering over her delicate frame in the beautiful white dress, they stood face to face, too close, and then the sinful lips descended slowly, almost torturously slow, and landed on the innocent soft lips that welcomed him like a rose petals, they kisses so sl
“Fuck…” Sara frowned when she heard the word, but her confusion turned into concern when she saw the distant and worried expression on Eren’s face, with his dark brows knitted, his eyes clouded and his jaw clenched firmly, his body was present but his thoughts were elsewhere.Not understanding what was happening with him, Sara watched him with a mixture of concern and curiosity, and something else, she thought as her eyes wondered all over his body before returning to his face, unable to look away from him.He was beautiful! Dangerous and dark and edgy but hauntingly beautiful, like unforgivable sin, so dark and forbidden yet so tempting, even when he was so distant and lost in thoughts, he still carried his charms on his sleeves.And those lips of his, she thought as her eyes were transfixed on them while he pressed them tightly, no wonder she fell for his charms, no wonder Nara, who was surrounded by charming men all her life, fell for
“I…didn’t expect you to see you both here!” Rima said while moving her eyes from Eren to the black-haired girl who, for some reason, came with him, carried by him to be exact, and landed on the terrasse of her castle, meeting the shadows lord’s eyes, she figured he wasn’t very pleased with her words as they sounded unwelcoming towards his girl.“I am glad that you are here though, for my empire can really use your wits, welcome to the frozen edge, Dahlia.” Rima’s kindness was met with the expressionless face of the girl who merely nodded, and she wondered if she was always this way or was it the traumatizing experience that she had that made her so, and that name, Dahlia, it wasn’t even hers, it was all too strange, and her being in the frozen empire with a frozen face was even stranger, nevertheless, the girl was there already, and it wasn’t her presence that mattered the most, it was that of the shadows&rsqu
“My name is Kalan, and I want to see if you are truly a worthy ally, Lord Eren!” Eren felt Sara stiffening behind him and heard her heart beating like a drum, her breaths were lost in her throat, she was scared, petrified even, and he understood why, for he himself sensed the danger of the stronger predator who took the form of a child.Eren already had a strong guess about the identity of their enemy, hearing his name and Sara’s words were the final confirmation, the child was no child nor a demon, he was a first-generation God.“Eren…” Sara whispered again while looking into the child’s eyes that seemed red for the first time before a silver bluish hint appeared in them, his brown messy curls and innocent complexions made his childish appearance look more convincing, but Sara knew, as she felt the same fear, the same helplessness and the same paralysis creep up her legs and take over her entire body, she tried to breathe nor
As his brothers unloaded the carriage, Nicholas stared with a solemn face at the ruins of what used to be his home, his true home, where he found not just himself but a purpose for his life, a reason to live for, a family that understood and cared for him, and a lover he was willing to die for, the place was where his heart lived, until his blood brother destroyed it, the brother he wanted nothing more than to burn alive and watch as he screams in agony, the same way he burned the holy tower.Nicholas swallowed the heavy lump in his throat as he passed the charred remains, it has been two years since the night of the raiding and two years since he came back to this place, there was nothing left to come back for except for the burned stones, crumbled walls, pain, and memories, a lot of them, and they all rushed back to him at once, swallowing him back into that swamp of bitterness while his brothers, his real brothers, the ones he chose, were busy emptying the bloodied sacks o
“This…” Henry tried to find appropriate words but there were none, he thought the chaos in the capital was something to worry about, especially with the way Eren was acting, the shadows’ lord who was flying near the castle chose to remain silent since they found the shredded bodies, but the moment the report arrived about the holy tower, he knew things were going to be more than just chaotic.“I…” once again, he wanted to say something, anything to break that unbearable silence that settled on the group of people, humans and demons, he was with but nothing came out, there was nothing there to say, only a hope that his friend would remain rational and not jump to conclusions before they find out the whole truth about the matter, but a single look at Eren’s gloomy expression made his hopes flatter, not that it was a surprising at all considering the scene that greeted their eyes.They were all children!Eren stared
“What are you talking about?” the guard who was reporting to Sara asked in both confusion and horror, unable to believe what the demoness just said and her intentions of taking their princess with them and have her killed, at first, he thought he heard wrong, but the intense way the demoness was glaring at them, as if she couldn’t wait to unleash hell upon their heads, made him realize that she meant every single word.“And does your Lord know that the princess, who is his friend’s sister, is among the ones you are bringing?” Sara on the other hand asked calmly, her eyes seeing the insides of the demoness who was preparing herself for battle, which meant that things were far too serious than she thought, to the point where they couldn’t be solved peacefully.“And do you think our Lord cares about her identity when she is a suspect?” Andrea gave the black-haired girl a vicious smile, it was fun toying with her, throw
Monster!Deviant!Freak!The names kept on calling after her even when she ran as fast as she could, her legs carrying to an unknown destination, she didn’t know why she ran away, or why did she obey the mocking voice inside her head, even when she knew it wasn’t a friendly one nor did it wish her any good, all she knew was that she was standing out in the open streets, but felt as if the walls of the shack were enclosing on her once again, with nothing but the bitter painful reality suffocating her.Sara knew that the moment of reality would come sooner or later, the time when her cover would be exposed and the ones she cared for would know her reality, her lie, however, it was something she avoided thinking about, hoping that she wouldn’t be there in the first place to witness it, and for it to happen so soon, and in such a way when she didn’t even expect it or prepared her heart for the immense pain the revelation wa
It was all…surreal! And yet so bittersweet…Eren looked down at the girl sleeping on his chest, her beautiful face marred with the scars that told volumes about the amount of pain and agony this frail looking girl suffered, her face, tired with dark circles around her eyes, yet at the same time so relaxed and peaceful, it was a sight he didn’t see in so long, two years to be exact, when she was sleeping peacefully on this same particular bed in that same estate, the irony!Another thing that he found ironic was that even with all the years, all the tragedies, all the changes, Sara’s biggest concern was and still the acceptance of her family, her breaking was enough to prove it, and it made him think that she didn’t change that much after all, that the darkness she covered herself with didn’t reach to that pure soul of hers, and that for years, her heart was covered with a layer of ice, but it was never frozen.Ho
