All Chapters of Rules and Roses: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences.✾When I was finished talking, Yohan was looking down, staring at his hands.It irked me, that he made me finish talking about my great adventure, but not once did he compliment my achievement more. I understand that it’s not out of the ordinary, what I did. However, there was some stupid part of me that wanted to get some recognition from him. A small part of me that was desperately clinging to that small praise he gave me when he was surprised that I managed to tie a big guy up with only using my own strength.

Never throw the first punch. If you have to throw the second, try to make sure they don't get up for a third.✾                 The word swirls and I start seeing double.                My knees give out from under me and the world starts to turn sideways.

My breath hitches as I see the bloody wound by his stomach. Immediately, I bring his shirt down again. My vision blurs, but like everything else for the past few minutes, I’ve ignored it. Sniffing, I angrily tear a bit of cloth from the black cloak that I had covered in my body. Lifting him gently, I tie it around his torso. I tie it as tight as I could to apply pressure. I can’t have him loosing too much blood.

It was icy and full of unhidden anger and annoyance that I for sure thought that I would freeze on the spot and no one could e

Silence isn't always an agreement.✾                He could never recall if there ever was a time where he was truly at peace.                Recently, that’s all he ever was. With her.
