LOGINWhat did she mean by that? She probably meant there's more fun ahead. I can't wait honestly. She actually made me forget about all that happened today. I'm sure it was all just in my head. Quickly, I go into the room and find Dylan lying down, going through his phone. He doesn't hear me coming in, so I walk as quietly as I possibly could, jumping on him and shouting. Startled, he pushes me off and falls to the ground, hitting his butt hard. Not being able to control it, I laugh as hard as I have not in weeks. I've
My eyes tearing up and my ribs aching. The shocked expression on his face playing in my head making me laugh even harder.
"Oh," he says, laughing too,"You want to play, right?" He gets up, and I scurry back into bed, holding my sides knowing exactly what he wants to do. Not disappointing me, he comes at me, removing my hands and tickling me, making me laugh, kicking my legs and begging him to stop. Finally, he gives in and lies on my chest, both of us trying to catch our breaths.
"You're really mean, you know," I say, hitting the back of his head a little.
"Am I?" he says, looking at me mischievously, coming up and stopping when he's eye level with me, "Or should I show you what mean is?" Before I can say anything, he puts his mouth in mine, my eyes closing automatically, pouring out all my fear, anxiety and worry into the kiss. Slowly, the gentle kiss gets really fast and demanding.
He starts to caress my body, my hand going into his hair, the other at his back. I can feel his hand going under my shirt, grabbing my left breast, not breaking the kiss. I tug harder on his hair, knowing how much he loves it. He pinches my nipple gently, and I moan, feeling a little wetness in my core. Slowly, he kisses my neck, going downwards, putting my right nipple in his mouth, sucking gently while nibbling the other with his finger. I grab his hair tightly, moaning and wrapping my legs around his waist as he keeps sucking.
Flipping him over, I unbutton his shirt, and he does the rest while I remove mine. Without wasting any more time, we both undress quickly and go back to kissing hard, pouring out our emotions into the kiss.
"You, taste, so, good baby," he says between kisses and I bite his lip, causing him to moan a little. He breaks the kiss again, sucking my nipple, his finger rubbing gently on my clit, teasing me, making me a moaning mess.
"You're so wet baby," he says in a husky voice that only turns me on more.
"I want you in me, Dylan," I say, my voice not sounding like it belongs to me. As if that was his cue, he spreads my legs, rubbing the head of his cock gently against my clitoris, making me moan louder. Kissing my neck, he enters me slowly, being all gentle like it's my first time. He fills me up with his length and I suddenly feel safe, protected. I swear I can never get used to that feeling.
"Hmm," he moans into my ears, "You feel so good baby."
"Yeah," I say almost in a whisper, not even thinking as he thrusts into me, his thrusts getting faster and deeper with time. Feeling the utmost ecstasy, trying hard to hold back my moan a little, I grabbed the sheets tightly, biting onto his neck making him moan loudly, quickening his thrusts, making him go deeper. We make passionate love for minutes till we both reach our climax, and he lies on my heaving chest, trying to catch our breaths. We both lay naked in silence, with him still inside me.
"I love you so much more than words could describe Dylan," I say with so much emotion in my voice after a few seconds of silence.
"I love you more than you can ever imagine, Crystal".
This is the most beautiful field I've ever seen. So green and so wide. I can't see the end from where I'm standing. The tall grass looks so green and healthy. Standing in the middle of the field, my hair and my fine yellow dress blowing in the soft wind, the peace I feel is more than words can say. Suddenly, the air starts to get chilly and the blue clouds darken right before my very eyes. I hear rustling in the grass and, before I know it, I'm being chased by a bull. A bull with very big and sharp looking horns.
Running as fast as my legs would let me, I look around for an escape route but all I see is the green field turning to grey and the grass dying as fast as my heart beats. Few seconds and the once beautiful field can't be called that anymore. I stumble on my feet and fall down, the bull coming at me. I try to run, but my body seems to defy any form of motion.
In a split second, the bull comes at me and I close my eyes, screaming in fear and agony, then opening them to see myself in my room with a naked Dylan beside me and my hand in my hair. Beads of sweat form on my forehead with my heart hammering in my chest and my body trembling from the fright. I try to take steady breaths, telling myself it was just a dream.
My throat becomes dry from the screaming. I try to swallow saliva, but it only makes it hurt. Quickly, I put on my robe and head downstairs quietly to the kitchen for a glass of water. Everywhere's eerily quiet aside from the ticking of the big wall clock at the end of the passage telling you how short life is. Drinking to my fill and feeling so much better, I rinse the cup and just as I'm about putting it back in the cupboard, I hear a really strange voice right behind me.
"What's a pretty young girl like you doing up so late?"
"Hey," I hear a voice from afar, but I'm too weak and reluctant to respond."Crystal." The voice comes again, closer. "You have to wake up now." He says, shaking me lightly, and I open my eyes slowly to see Sean sitting by me and smiling."I didn't want to wake you up," he says, and I realize I actually slept. He put me to sleep, and it was a very calm, peaceful one. "I never knew it'd be fun watching a person sleep." For the first time, a compliment from him doesn't seem so strange, infact, it made me smile. Although the sleep definitely wasn't enough to make up for all the lost ones, this definitely relaxed me, giving me back a bit of my sanity. Sitting up on the bed, I take his hand in mine and look at him straight into his surprised eyes."Thank you," I say to him. For what? I have no idea. Obviously, there's still a lot I don't know, but what I know right now is Sean isn't who I think he is. Just like Dylan. I only knew him for nine months and suspected nothing, knew nothing. I j
The sun sets for the third time since Sean left my room and I haven't set eyes on him. Thrice a day, food appears in my room and, without my notice, the empty plates disappear after a while. It was weird at first but then, I got used to it after the first two meals. Chips, nuts and chocolate bars came with the third meal and the smile that brought to my lips looked strange on my gaunt and stiff face. I thought I had forgotten how to smile, but who knew chocolate would do the trick.Sighing, I close my eyes and rest my head on the pillow only to open them back up immediately I see Dylan's lifeless pale face with his mouth drooling blood. My insomnia's been getting really worse, and I doubt I've had any real sleep for as long as I can remember. I wake up from each doze sweating and panting from the nightmares. Lately, I've found myself laughing dryly for no reason, talking to myself and hallucinating. One second, I could be on the bed and the next I find myself sitting on the ground i
"Fate?" Miranda asks, bewildered, "what do you mean fate?""A test," Joe answers for Sean, "She'll undergo a test. If she passes, then she's destined to be Queen and if she doesn't, annihilation."Like a knot, my stomach tightens and my breath hitches in my throat. A test? Failure means annihilation? I don't even want to be the queen of anything?! Why don't I have a say in this? I can't be Sean's wife. Not while I still breathe and have control of myself. I'd never love nor marry the man that destroyed me. Never."And what 'test' is this?" Miranda asks again."That would be best kept hidden from the human," Joe says, looking at Sean as if to remind him."Crystal," Sean says, and I look up at him, but he looks at Joe, "She has a name, and it's Crystal."Joe nods his head and Sean continues, "On the third moon from now, we shall gather again for the test. For now, we should prepare for whatever is to come."I just want to go back into my room, but I can't act on my own accord. Damn Sean
"Shall we begin." Sean's voice, calm but thick and powerful, sends a shiver down my spine."How have you been faring Sean?" The man beside me breaks the awkward silence."Very well, thank you. Now, to the matter of the day," Sean responds curtly."For how long are we going to have humans meddle?" Miranda speaks, sounding a little less surprised and angry than before. Looks like she expected me this time."She's not meddling if it's her business too, Miranda." He responds sternly."Yes, yes," the young man speaks, "so what's the plan?""The wedding. The ritual. Then the coronation." Sean says, "Three steps we're yet to take but have to take.""And who's the bride?" Aiden says finally, and my heart beat quickens along with sweat forming on my palms, which I rub together. "Is it this sick and defiled-looking human?" Sean tightens his fists so strongly under the table, his veins making strong evident lines on his arms, but he stays silent, allowing him finish. "I will not stand by and wat
When I was young, I never really understood the meaning of death. I just knew it was the last thing that would happen to a person. Once, I thought it was a reward for wickedness, or something that happened only to old people and once they die, they go up into the sky and become stars. I wanted to be a star, but I didn't want to die. I was terrified of ceasing to exist and not being able to visit the beach or eat my favorite dessert or play tea party with my dolls.As I grew older, death wasn't the most terrifying thing anymore. It was the way people forget the dead and move on with their lives."You have to be happy and move on sweetie." I remember my mom once saying to a friend of hers who lost her husband to cancer. She took the advice, remarried and was happy. Why? I kept asking myself. Why is it this way? Time went by and life taught me there wasn't any other way to go about it. They're not completely forgotten, but life has to go on. And that's when I decided. I decided to live
"Hey." The soft whispers of a familiar masculine voice disturb my not so peaceful slumber. Trying to recollect my distorted memories, I open my eyes slowly adjusting them to the light and environment."You're awake." The voice comes again, clearer this time and I look beside me to see Sean, looking at me with so much concern and relief. That's when I remember all that happened and immediately, I try to scoot away from him in fear, afraid of what he might do to me."Hey." He says slowly like he's talking to a baby, "I won't hurt you." He tries to touch me, but I flinch on impulse, and he sighs, his slight smile falling completely as he retreats back and sits on the couch."Why did you do it?" he asks, and I'm lost for a second before realizing he was referring to the cuts. I look at my arm and see they are starting to close, three horizontal red lines incised in my left arm. They'll surely leave ugly scars, scars that'll forever remind me of these times. My pain, my hurt, my fears, my
