Mag-log inRAPHEAL Today was plan B. And according to Serafina, we always had to dress the part. After spending two weeks together, getting to know ourselves and growing in our love for each other, I was more then convinced that she was my healing. A gift to crown all my sufferings and I would never give her up. As I stood by the furnace, taking a sip of my wine and smiling sheepishly at the memories we had created, I thought to cross check my fit again. She had picked out the wear for me and as someone with impeccable fashion taste, she really did well with sleek all-beige ensemble that featured an oversized structured blazer which I left open over a deep V-neck vest, mayching wide leg pants which fell elegantly over a polished black leather louboutin pair of shoes. After styling my long hair into a Korean wolf cut, I had fallen in love with my look. “Boss.” Ruben's voice rasped behind me with a slight bow, cutting through my thoughts. As I tur
RAPHEAL After dialing Ruben and Serafina simultaneously without success for the past two hours, I decided to take matters into my hands. It didn't matter if I was a fugitive or wanted, either ways I just had to find her. Grabbing my coat and the card that lay on the table, I stormed out. But when I got to the iron wroth of a gate, my feet came to a halt. I took a deep breath as the realization of what I intended to do hit me, but I had no choice. Luckily, as I pulled the door knob, she walked in with a wide smile on her face. “Heyyyy..” When she threw her arms around me for a warm hug, every form of anger in me disappeared. “I'm sorry I made you worried.” It didn't matter baby. You're here now. That would have been my response but I didn't want to appear cheap. So I gently held her waist and drew her out. “Really Serafina?” I demanded. “You have a phone but what's the point if you can't pick your calls?” “Ohh…” her lips
SERAFINA Once out of the car, I checked out my outfit to be sure it was going to execute it's mission tonight. I knew by the time Rapheal woke up, he wouldn't be happy with my decision so I had to make sure everything went according to plan. In a fitted white button-up shirt beneath a deep burgundy corset which I paired with a short pleated skirt that shows just enough of my toned legs and matching knee-high burgundy boots, I was certain about my mission tonight. To crosscheck, I dialed Ruben again and he picked after the second ring. “We are ready ma'am.” He announced to my delight. “Stay close and remember the plan. This cannot flop.” “I'm with you, ma'am.” He exhaled. “Stay safe too. Sir Rapheal would have my head if anything happens to you.” “I will.” Disconnecting the call, I reapplied my lip gloss, threw a minty gum into my mouth and headed to the gate. As expected, I was not granted access. The security man instead sized me
RAPHEAL The loud buzzing of her phone the next morning resonated to our ears and interrupted our sleep. With her head buried on my chest, she let out a groan and snuggled closer to me. Her scent lingering, I couldn't help caressing her cheeks and the silk strands of her gorgeous blonde hair. The phone began buzzing again and Serafina's eyes snapped open, so wide I could see the rage in them. “I really think you should get that.” “So much for having a peaceful night’s sleep.” She hissed, grabbing the phone besides her. The name Ciara was displayed on the screen and her anger seems to dissipate. “Ciara?” She pressed the speaker button and increased the volume for me to hear. Having told me about how she was the one who had helped us escape the hospital, I felt there was no cause for alarm… “Serafina!” Her voice was high pitched. “Where the hell did you keep your cell phone?” “Why do you sound like that?” “Have you seen the news?” She asked an
SERAFINA. A sweet aroma wafted into my nostrils and jolted me from sleep. Though I was still heavily drained by the escapades from the previous night, I was sober enough to realize that Rapheal was making breakfast and a warm smile crossed my lips. Slipping into my flops, I went ahead to take a warm shower and threw on a comfortable sweat shirt and shorts. Following the recent incidents, we sure had a really long way to go about it. En route to the kitchen, I caught his figure glistening with sweat as he flipped the pancakes he was making back into its pan. His toned abs and muscles flexed effortlessly under the white vest and a lump of air formed in my throat. Why the hell was he so good looking? “Breakfast is almost ready Sera.” His voice cut through my thoughts. “Unless you desire something else for breakfast.” Flushed, I rolled my eyes and headed to the kitchen to join him. “You're such a gloat.” He flashed me a smile and pulled me into his arms, cir
SERAFINA. After dinner, I barely managed to put Rapheal to sleep as he insisted on staring at me all through the night. When he finally musled to sleep, I took the time to mule over my actions. Saving him was never my intention.. But it was already done and I had to find my way around it. I had chosen him over my mission and I knew it would be long before the guardian would come looking for me. Before then, I was ready to make the most out of my time with him.. First things first… Getting rid of any chances abetting his murder and that was Delanxy. My feet shuffled on the surface of the concrete as I scaled the temple’s fence, landing over the next world with my back on the cold floor. My days of defiling Marionette were beginning to pay off. I hurried to the training field and took a detour around it which was headed to the dormitory. En route, a small rustling sound halted my feet and I immediately scanned the environment using my enhanced vision to
SERAFINA. The mirror never lied. As I sat before my vanity table, slowly applying my makeup, I couldn't help but stare at my true form that gleamed back at me. Eyes blazing bright red. A dark shadow with sword stretched behind me. Rose tattoo blinking on my chest. Thankf
RAPHEAL.Dumbfounded. Confused. Staring at my fake girlfriend who was displaying a new character. In nearly two months of living wth her, I had never seen her cry. We hadn't even grown together because of the type of life she led. She was just enough to keep my mom off my feet. For now.T
RAPHEAL Don Columbus shot a grimace at me as he scribbled his writing into the paper. It wasn't supposed to concern me; but a part of me really wanted to know what Serafina had promised him. Because he wasn't easy to please. After signing, he pushed the papers to me and took a puff of
SERAFINA. Pulling a stool from the bar, I deliberately arched my back on it, towards Rapheal. Thrill washed through my body as I watched him fight against his pride and attraction towards me. As Don Columbus brished past him, he whispered. “That girl would end you.” Before placin
