DAVINA

The room was quiet, except for the soft sound of rain outside. Midnight had led me there, and now it was just the two of us, the tension between us hanging heavy in the air. I stood near the bed, hesitating. His familiar scent still lingered, but it wasn’t enough to erase the uncertainty creeping over me.

This was the second time I was going to sleep in the same bed as Midnight, and yet something felt different. Not the physical closeness we were actually closer than ever, but emotionally, something deeper was happening.

"You don’t need anything, right?" Midnight asked, his voice soft but steady. I looked at him, and for the first time that night, I saw a crack in his usual mask. Maybe he didn’t realize it, but there was something gentler in his ey

    DAVINAThe drive back from Pryia’s house was made in silence, only the low rumble of the engine and the distant sounds of the city filling the emptiness inside the car. I sat in the front seat next to Midnight, while Aaron, Timmy, and Gutemberg shared the back seat.When we stopped at a diner to grab something quick, everyone got their food and returned to the car. The smell of fries and burgers filled the air as each of us focused on eating. The radio played some random song, muffled by chewing and the tension-heavy silence.That’s when Gutemberg wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, dropped the sandwich onto his lap, and cleared his throat."Aaron and Timmy were right. Your sister still feels something for me."

    DAVINA"How much longer are we going to wait for Pryia to leave the house?" Aaron asked, glancing toward my mother’s house. "I’m starving."Midnight snorted impatiently and turned his head toward Aaron, his expression dripping with sarcasm."If you want to go watch the Reapers with Mart and Silver, be my guest." His voice carried authority, though somewhere in it there was a playful edge.Aaron laughed, composed, and pulled a cereal bar from his denim jacket, holding it up like a trophy. He looked at Midnight with a crooked smile, clearly uninterested in the offer."I’d rather stay here in the car with our girl," Aaron said, then turned to me with an even wider smile. "Wa

    DAVINAAaron’s car engine purred softly in the darkness of the deserted street. The dim streetlight flickered, casting uneven shadows across the asphalt. From where we sat, we could see my mother’s house, its windows shut, the silhouette of a curtain swaying slightly in the wind.I was on Timmy’s lap, feeling the warmth of his body against mine. His fingers tapped nervously on my thigh as he stared out the window. Gutemberg sat beside me, silent as always, but his clenched jaw said plenty. Aaron and Midnight shared the front seat, whispering about something I had no interest in hearing. Midnight lit a cigarette, and the bitter scent of nicotine filled the car.“So you’re saying Pryia knew more than she let on?” Aaron finally broke the silence, turning slightly to look at me.“I don’t think it. I know it.” My voice came out steady, but my stomach twisted with the memories. “Lucia didn’t like me. She loved to provoke me. Said I was a fool for fighting the inevitable. But what really got

    DAVINAI stood still, eyes fixed on Timmy, Aaron, and Midnight, not letting a single movement go unnoticed. Each of them seemed to avoid my gaze, but I could feel the tension growing in the air. They had brought me back here, like tossing me back into a prison I had fought to escape. I couldn't buy the story they were trying to sell. Something was wrong, and I wouldn’t rest until I found out what it was.“Who were those men?” I asked, my voice colder than the surrounding night.Timmy avoided my eyes, frowning, a mixture of discomfort and guilt painted across his face. Aaron exchanged a quick look with Midnight, both of them appearing even more uneasy. The silence that followed was far too heavy, like they were hiding something.

    DAVINABoredom was a beast gnawing at my brain. It chewed away at every ounce of my patience as I twirled the ring on my finger, sitting on the sofa in Midnight's house. The dim light from the lamp flickered from time to time, as if even it was tired of this place.The city was still in turmoil since the death of KJ and the leader of the Reapers, and Midnight had been under attack from all sides. Every gang wanted a piece of the territory, which meant he was more paranoid than ever. Gutemberg was also tense, always with his cell phone in his hand, speaking softly or typing messages nonstop. But now that KJ was out of the picture, I shouldn't have to hide anymore.And so I decided: I was going to see my mother.I didn't intend to talk to her, I just wanted to look from afar, to make sure she was okay. Timmy insisted that she was, but trust wasn't my strong suit. I needed to see with my own eyes.
