No one can know
The next day started with Ruhee bringing me breakfast in the room.
Apparently, after last night I was not allowed to leave my room without Damien or some other bodyguard but the idea of walking with a stranger following me around sounded bizarre to me.
Never thought I would say this, but I was waiting eagerly to go back to Damien's house.
Ruhee was sitting quietly looking at the wall with a distant look in her eyes.
"I am sorry you have to stay inside the room because of me."
I moved the knight on the chessboard.
She gave a smile, "Don't be sorry. It is good to spend time with you."
She moved her last pawn, now her king was not guarded by any pawns.
"Did you grow up here?" I asked curiously. She seemed to know this palace and even the queen knew her.
I moved my bishop two steps to block the next move of her queen.
"In a way," she gave a short response.
Ruhee started twirling the ends of her hair

I gave a reassuring smile to Ruhee, even though there was a chance of a possible murderer standing on the other side of the door.....or maybe not.I opened the door with Ruhee standing right behind me.Silver was leaning on the door with a grin on his face, showing all the teeth, "Hey, beautiful," he winked in my direction."Silver?""The one and only."I had not seen him ever since we came here even though Amber was always around.He gave a small wave to Ruhee, "Why so glum chum?"Ruhee's cheek turned slightly pink as she shook her head with a smile."What are you doing here?" I asked."I thought you must be bored here.""I can't leave the room without Damien or a bodyguard," I repeat in frustration. The place was new and filled with people I could never trust.He chuckled at this, "C'mon."I gave him a confused look without moving from my place."I will be with you so, it is fine. Besi
The dark side of the moon Not good enough
"I am so sorry."I tried to balance myself by taking the support of the wall, "It is fine.""No, I should have been more careful considering how important this is but it was kinda hard to see where I was going."I stared at the beautiful girl approximately 6 feet tall with rich sun-kissed skin, the raven hair reached her shoulders with the turquoise ends grabbing all my attention. I always wanted to try something bold like that.Her green eyes were focusing on the dress she was carrying, it was completely wrapped making it hard to see what kind of dress was inside.But it must be a gown as she was having difficulty carrying it."Can I help you?" I asked the girl who was lifting the dress high above her head."I am looking for Amber," she tried to give a smile but it came out strained, "this is for her, and I can't let anything happen to this otherwise my boss would freak out."Before I could point her in the right directi
The dark side of the moon A misunderstanding
"I don't care, he can go out with anyone he wants."I put a handful of chips in my mouth."It is okay to care," Ruhee said gently, "you are soulmates and you are supposed to care about each other."I rolled my eyes, "Trust me Ruhee, this whole soulmate situation looks better in your head."She put a chip in her mouth and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Let me put it this way, no relationship is easy unless both partners work equally to make it better. I know you think he is bad but you are not trying to get to know him, you are judging him because of one thing only."I looked at her with no words forming in my mouth."Do you know he went against his father for you?""What?" I asked in a small voice."His parents asked him to stay in the palace with you but he denied because he knew you would have to stay in the room mostly which you would have hated. His father did not give him the throne because of you, he said you are not re
The dark side of the moon Special Lemonade
Things were finally going well, I could not believe I was saying it.I enjoyed the rays of sun shining over the garden, making the flowers glow brightly.Ruhee made her way in my direction with a wide smile on her lips."You look happy," I closed my eyes one more time, putting my head on the wall behind me."I said no to Amber today," she sat next to me with the grin not leaving her lips, "she asked me to go with her to help her in getting ready during the event and the dinner they will have later.""I am proud of you, Ruhee," I took a sip of the mango juice.She took a sip of her orange juice and sat more comfortably on the wooden bench.I stole a glance at her when she was not looking. The girl sitting next to me was slightly more confident than the girl I met when I first came here. Her long light brown hair was in a messy bun, there was a light in her round curious eyes.I ran a hand over the pocket of my jeans
The dark side of the moon Twice
Twice.... someone had tried to murder me twice in one month.I was missing my old boring life.The life where I had to worry about completing assignments on time, not about getting murdered by a werewolf.Even the sound of wind chime could not distract me from the trail of thoughts running inside my head.Damien had to leave in the evening and I would be alone here. The thought was enough to make me sweat.With a sigh, I sat down next to my window staring at the clear sky. Everything felt too dull even in the brightness.The guards standing in the garden were sharing no words with the mouth but many stolen glances were passing between them and they were enough to pass the message.Two knocks with the pause of a few seconds made me look away from the garden. Ruhee was standing near the door with a small smile on her face. The smile was one of the formal ones, that could fool anyone."What's the upda
The dark side of the moon Feeling alive
I stood in my place mentally preparing myself as I stared at my opportunity.Damien sent the guard who stood on the second exit with the girl and he was so busy with his 'interrogation' that it might have slipped his mind or he was confident that I would never try to leave. Either way, it worked in my favor.I waited until the girl with raven hair went inside the house taking two steps at once while bumping here and there on her way.Taking a deep breath in, I checked for any signs of guards around before I ran outside to the car in which she was putting all the clothes and boxes.Everything was filled with dresses and at the back, some huge boxes were stacked upon each other. I didn't think twice and hid under the backseat when I saw her marching towards the car.It was the big moment, either I would be stuck here forever or I might get back my life.I held my breath as the girl put on her seatbelt and increased the volume of the fain
The dark side of the moon Fresh start
A woman with streaks of grey in her dark hair and a light of worry reflecting in her hazel eyes was looking at me. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Are you okay dear? You look a little pale," she asked looking around. "I am fine," I smiled at her. "Can I help you?" she asked again. I looked at the woman who was slightly taller than me, wearing a cardigan and had an apron tied around her waist with the hair in a tight bun. "I was just..." "Take a seat, why don't I bring you some coffee first?" Before I could say anything else she was already behind a brown door leaving me alone in the empty cafe. I sat down on the table that was nearest to me, thinking if it was a mistake or not. I was still debating if I should leave or wait when the woman came back with a cup in her hands. She put the cup gently on the table and sat down in front of me. I cleared my throat and start
The dark side of the moon Cora
"This is Cora, your new roommate," the woman answered her granddaughter."Woah woah...hold on. Let's rewind the whole thing. Roommate? I never said I wanted a roommate?""There is no need to create the scene, Emily."I kept my head towards the wall hoping she would storm out of the cafe after saying no to a roommate."Why can't she live in the pac....""Cora is a 'girl' who just moved here," the woman emphasized on 'girl' and I knew exactly why, "be a good girl and let her stay with you until she finds a place. She will also start working here from tomorrow."I heard the girl groan followed by a large sound of something hitting the table which I assumed was either her hand or head."Fine," came her muffled sound."Great why don't you both chat here and I will be back in ten minutes," the woman removed her apron and left it on the counter near the entrance, "or you know what, Emily why don't you show her the apartmen
