Better Or Worse
SHEA
I moved backwards, my knees buckling underneath me. They were threatening to give out and send me crashing to the ground. I needed to get away from her. "I-I have to go," I said.Her gaze softened.
"It's fine. But, at least can I have your number? I can give you mine too" I stared at her for a beat, then I sighed and took out my phone. After we'd exchanged contacts, I drove off.
*** Monday and Tuesday went by in a blur. I'd resumed in Liam's company as his P. A. He wasn't really bad, he was just a little bit too demanding. My headaches had worsened by the time it was Wednesday.After meeting Rachel, I found myself thinking about her a lot. I felt like I knew her but it was hard to figure it out. Devon on the other hand, was ignoring my text messages. She wouldn't even pick my calls. She was clearly avoiding me. Was I that big of a pro

SHEA "How are you here right now?" I asked, staring at her. She grinned. "Will you at least let me in first, stranger?" she said. My chest tightened. I was having a hard time figuring out why I was feeling a strong sense of déjà-vu as soon as she called me 'Stranger'?"Sorry about that. You can come in" I said, moving aside. She walked in, looking around my apartment with a smile on her beautiful face. "Nice apartment you got here, Shea" she said. "Thanks" I said, shutting the door. She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. "Comfy couch too, that's nice" she said. I blinked. "I'm glad you like it" I said. "Do you need anything? Water? Wine? Soda?" "Water will do just fine, thanks." "Wait, are you really Devon Bradley? Or am I talking to a clone?" I asked, raising a brow. Her eyes lit up with amusement. "Of course, it's me. Why are you ask

DEVON Two weeks had passed since Shea discovered Theo's photo in my sitting room. I felt so bad for everything I'd put him through.What I didn't understand was how he knew about my brothers. If he wasn't Theo, then who was he? Why had he been dreaming about Theo and I? 'Theo is dead, stupid. He's gone and never coming back. Don't you think that Shea might've been sent into your life to destroy you? What if all this is a trap? You watched him die and you know deep down inside you that Theo is gone. Stop assuming things' my subconscious reprimanded me. I decided that it was better to avoid him. All he did was put my mind in turmoil. Okay, not just that. He made me feel things I shouldn't be feeling. I had a boyfriend for goodness sake. I was sitting in front of my mirror, debating on whether I would go with the nude lip gloss or the red lipstick. Liam was ha

DEVON I was lying in bed trying to process what had happened an hour ago between Shea and I. I couldn't fight the grin that was permanently etched on my face. I was way too excited. I got out of bed and got ready for the day. After having my breakfast, I drove to school. "Now, this is getting really weird, Dev. Did you win a lottery?" Karla said to me after our third lecture for the day. "Don't be ridiculous. I'm just... happy" I shrugged. She wriggled her brows. "There's something you're not telling me" I rolled my eyes. "Did you confirm if Shea is Theo?" My eyes widened. "Aha! Gotcha! So, he is Theo" I smiled, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "Why doesn't he know who you are?" She asked. "He has amnesia" I said. "Oh...poor thing. I guess Liam is really unlucky. Your man is back. So, he needs to find someone else" Karla said. I'd totally forgot

DEVON "He's a lucky young man. If his attacker had held on to his throat for two minutes longer, he would've died" Dr Sid said to me just outside the ward where Shea was. I shivered when I thought of him dying in the alley. "He'll be fine, right?" I asked. "Yes, he'll be fine" I nodded. "He has no family. Can I go in to see him?" I asked. "Of course. He might be totally out of it. Two of his ribs are broken, he has a concussion and a head trauma" I stepped into the ward, the heart monitor beeping steadily. I sat down by his bedside and took his free hand in mine. There was a bandage around his head and IV lines were connected to the back of his palm. His eyes were closed, long dark lashes resting atop the skin beneath his eyes. I noticed the moles on his neck and the one on the corner of his lips. How could I have missed that? It couldn't be a coincidence that his moles were in the same po

DEVON Quietly, I left Shea's house and snuck up to the back of my house. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and made my way to the front door. Liam was standing by the front door, forehead resting against the wall. I twisted the door knob and pulled the door backwards. The creaking sound snapped him out of whatever daze he was in. He looked up and I let out a gasp when I saw his puffy and blood shot eyes. "Liam-" He moved away from the wall, frowning slightly. "I didn't hear you drive in" "That's because I didn't drive in. Come on in" I said, opening the door wider. He walked in and I shut the door behind him. "Can I get you anything?" I asked. "There's no need for that" he said, letting out a shaky breath. "Liam, what's wrong?" I asked. He sighed, rubbing his left eye. "This morning... I-uh... I received a call from a hospital. My mother-- sh

THEO Tired green eyes stared back at me from the mirror as I ran my fingers through my damp hair. I was human now and it felt really weird. Still, it was a miracle that I was alive. My fingers lazily traced the thick horizontal scar on my chest. It was the only evidence that confirmed that I'd once been stabbed in the chest, and that stab wound had killed me. I walked out of the bathroom, towel drying my wet hair. Devon was sitting on my bed, running a comb through her hair when I walked in. "I was starting to wonder if you were sleeping in there" she said, smiling at me. "You haven't done that before?" I asked. She chuckled. "Once. It was the first time I took my bath in a Jacuzzi. I was so comfortable, I slept off" she said, her cheeks turning pink. I smiled, slipping on a pair of sweatpants. "How're your ribs?" She asked. "A bit sore. It isn't as bad as before" I said. She rose to her feet an

DEVON "There's a prophecy that was made centuries ago about a monstrous creature known as the 'Afyrza'. Which means the silver beast--" Luke said. Blood drained from Theo's attractive face. "The silver beast can be anyone, male or female. It was said that after the transition ritual has been carried out, the beast becomes too strong to be defeated. Only two creatures can stop it and that is the 'Chymarr' and the 'Gymadoq'. The Chimaera and the Red Wolf" I swallowed hard, several thoughts surfacing in my mind. The silver beast sounded like something very dangerous. "At first, the prophecy was ignored. But then, Theo was born. When they found out that he was the Chimaera, they realized that the prophecy might infact be true. The problem is that up till this day, we don't know if the Red Wolf exists" "What power does the Red Wolf have?" I asked. "According to the ancient books, the Red Wolf is part

LIAM I let out a groan as I opened my eyes, my head throbbing dully. My gaze fell on both Shea and the fairy. Realizing that I had indeed not been dreaming, my eyes widened. "You're awake, that's great. Sitting here waiting for you was getting annoying" the fairy said, his eyes glowing. "If he's a fairy, what are you?" I asked Shea, watching him carefully. He sighed, running his fingers throughhis hair. "It's a long story-" he began but was interrupted by the fairy who was looking very smug. It was annoying. "I can help with that. Theo is the king of the underworld. He died after getting stabbed in the chest. Somehow, he's back again to fulfill his destiny. End of story, you're welcome" Shea sighed, glaring at the fairy who still had a smirk on his face. "That still doesn't explain why Devon has anything to do with you" I said. "She's my soulmate, Liam. I can't st
