• Game Of Heart and Truth   ~Comatose-2~

  ~Liliana~"No, it can't be!" My inner voice screams at me. Worth it.As we pass by a room, my thoughts shatters at a girl's cry. It's loud, shrieking. I could tell she's fighting for her life, and I'm scared to open that door to see whatever is happening to her. I could hear the laughter of a male Viatore behind the door. My heart is instantly swallowed by grief and horror, freezing me in a spot. I want to scream at King Nicholas to do something but my mouth is mute. My lips are shunned and I can't even tear down the door if I wanted to. My mobility is seized. Then, it taps in. He's still compelling my body to do as he wishes, so I use the only source I have. My thoughts. "Save her, please. You know she's probably being raped or worse in there. Please do something. I beg of you. Please!"Silence. Deafening ears received me. King Nicholas fixes his eyes on me only to say. "There's nothing you can do for her. At worse, you will suffer the same fate and die. I can't have that." His voi

  ~Liliana Rosalyn~Warm ray of light heats up my skin, calling me back to life. Fluttering slowly for adjustment, I pause to admire the room. I haven't really paid much attention to it until now. The faint purple led lights coming from the ceilings' corners attract me even more. The room is painted dark ash, giving sexy and dangerous vibe, matching the matte black of the furniture. There are different lights but they are all warm and dark colours while the corner lights are purple, radiating off of the black walls. It's so beautiful. It looks something out of a fantasy picture. Wow. The ceiling-to-floor mirror only adds to the beauty and the last magic is the ceiling-to-floor curtains left closed.On the wall of the headboard is a portrait. It's a black horse in a garden. The king-sized bed is tucked with silver ash cover. Wait, a bed? Then, it taps in. I'm in King Nicholas's bed. That realisation triggers me closer to death. I didn't remember sleeping here at all. Apparently, that

  "That is all I need, Firecracker." He tells me. "Just to touch you and I can take away your energy. Tainted is only a way to preserve that energy. In your blood, energy is retained which can then be mixed with mercury in order to function but directly as well, I can suck it out. As a royal, I have many abilities. Shouldn't be surprising anyway, judging by the reality of my status amongst benders." Finally, he releases me and I turn around to face him after a few seconds of breathing hard. My chest has never been this scared, but then, I'm in front of the world most dangerous predator. Oh, he proves that right. "There's much you will learn about us, Firecracker. Oh, you'll be mind blown on the things we can do." His grin increases when he sights the fear in my eyes. "Follow me. You are hungry." Fuck, I didn't even realise that anymore because of the fear he's ingrained in me. But I'd rather die here than to follow him. So, I stay back. He's only three steps forward when he stops. Hi

  ~Liliana~Linda rests on me throughout the trip back to the Kingdom. Cowering in the back seat, I'm engulfed in my own thoughts. My mind reels about, trying to make sense of what happened back at the Referendarius. It should be impossible. All these things should be impossible, or perhaps I'm the one with little knowledge, and maybe this is why Benders ruled over us—hiding their true strength so we aren't able to know everything about them. Even in history classes, they hid them. I saw Lord Lucas's veins crack up, like the effect of erosion on a land. It splits open to reflect an immense glow, one that increases his powerful aura. The dark scarlet glow in his eyes and the monstrous way he killed those benders. And speaking about those benders, my mind can't unravel what they are. A different kind of bender. Why are they fighting each other? It doesn't look like those "Harlows" were trying to save me or Linda, instead they wanted to kill Lord Lucas and Lorenzo. It's as though they a

  ~Liliana~Just then, the stage stops, causing me to stagger briefly but I balance myself when a bridge extends and links to the cages. More thoughts that I can't wrap around my head flow through me, leaving me with more shock. I've been worried sick about Rita since we've been separated. She has good grades too but not as much as Linda which makes me wonder where she would be. Lord Lucas walks towards where Linda's cage is, wandering his eyes about. I've never wanted something this much except my death of course, but I want him to pick her. I'm almost squirming. Lord Lucas turns around and my stomach hurts. He goes back to the stage, then his voice breaks the silence suddenly. "I want that one." My eyes grow huge as I trace his finger to where it's pointing. Goodness, it's Linda's cage. Yes!Don't get me wrong. My hatred for Linda still runs deep but she and Rita were friends. In fact, Rita is friends with everyone but for some reason, I believe Linda will know Rita's whereabouts

  ~Liliana~Did he...read my mind? Lord Lucas's brows are furrowed in annoyance but I give no two fucks about it. Respectfully, in a very demure manner, I curse again. "What the fuck was that?""Telepathy. You look so surprised for someone who lives in a paranormal timeline, Liliana." There, he calls my name again. How did he know my name? Can he also read my memories?In a routine, secretly, I glance over Lord Lucas. I'm still in disbelief of what happened minutes ago. The car is speeding fast, blurring the environment. All my life, I've been caged in that godforsaken academy, confined within a space but I see vehicles, people—no, monsters like humans—roaming the street. The world looks like humans are still the ones occupying it, except the way things used to be is different now. Technology keeps growing.The silence between Lord Lucas and I choke me and reels me into different thoughts. I have many questions that I doubt he'll answer straightforwardly. "What do you want with me?
