View MoreThe school bell rang and the children ran out of the school. Lily Evan carried her bag on her back and came out of the class. She looked at the watch. "4 p.m. I've two hours to reach the home," murmured Lily when a hand hung around her shoulder.
"What are you murmuring?," asked Elly who is best friend of Lily and they started walking in the lobby. Lily turned to look at her and with a broad smile on her lips she said, "Let's go and eat our favourite ice cream." Lily said excitedly.
Elly agreed with her and they both ran out from there. "Ahh the math lecture took out my soul. Nothing was going inside my head. I'm going to tuition also but I don't think I can pass this class. What will happen when I grow up?" Elly worriedly said and rubbed her hands.
"Aish….we are in sophomore year. Don't worry so much. I can help you if you want to." Lily offered her help. "No it's fine. I don't feel like studying that subject," murmured Elly. They both got into a bus and after 30 minutes reached the ice cream shop.
Ordering their favourite choco chips ice cream they both started talking about other things. "Did you watch that ongoing series on vampire?," asked Elly excitedly.
"I don't watch shows. I only watch news," said Lily.
"You should watch that. Kaven, the hero is so good looking. I wish I could get to meet a vampire." Elly said joining her both hands and then sighed.
Lily shook her head in disbelief. "Vampires don't exist. So, Elly, give up on your dream of meeting a vampire." Lily stated when the waiter came with ice cream bowls in the tray. He put the bowls on the table and told them to enjoy it. Lily thanked him and both girls started eating.
"Lily, I've been asked out by Arnold yesterday," said Elly and giggled. "That's good. But beware of the guys. We are kids so let's focus on our studies for now," murmured Lily.
"Lily you are so innocent. You don't give a single glance to any of the boys. Why so?," asked Elly. Lily put the spoon inside the bowl and then said, "Elly, it's only an infatuation. I mean we are on a growing stage so it feels like good but it isn't. I've to become a journalist soon and then I'll meet the top journalist of Scotland." Said Lily and giggled.
"Your aims are always high," muttered Elly.
"Yes. Because I'm an ambitious girl. One day you'll see me reporting with him on the 9 o'clock show." Lily told Elly and put the spoonful ice cream in her mouth. They both talked for a while after finishing the ice cream and then left from there.
Both girls were frisking on the roadside pavement when Lily hit a boy in front of her. "Ahh, sorry! My mistake." Lily apologized and stepped ahead with Elly when the boy grabbed her school bag and pulled her back.
"Ahh," screamed Lily in a low voice.
"Leave me." Muttered Lily. The boy was none other than Adam, the most notorious boy in the school.
"How dare you hit me?," asked Adam in a groaned voice. Lily looked at him in disbelief and said, "I said that it was a mistake. It's not a big issue. Now leave me else…"
Jack cut her words who is the friend of Adam. "Else what?" Asked Jack grumbly. Elly came forward and said, "forgive us. This won't happen ever again." Pleaded Elly and thought that way they wouldn't be hurt.
Adam started laughing and his few other friends joined him. "So you want it this way," Lily stated and smirked. The next second she kicked at Adam's leg and grabbed Elly's hand, making her stand behind her.
"Lily," whispered Elly.
"Don't worry. I learnt Judo...How could you forget?," grumbled Lily and hit Jack's shoulder. Adam tried hitting her but she held his arm tightly and in a second she back flipped him. "Ahhh," Adam groaned in pain.
Lily took the chance and grabbed Elly's hand. The both girls run from there. "Catch those damn girls," shouted Adam and got up from the ground, holding his back.
Lily and Elly reached the bus stop. She told Elly to get inside quickly. "You're not coming?," asked Elly with a concerned look.
Lily looked at her left and said, "I can't. My phone fell back. Don't worry, get in," said Lily.
"I'll come too," murmured Elly.
"No, Go home. Soon night will fall," muttered Lily and pushed Elly inside the bus. Before Elly could ran after her the door of the bus got closed and the bus moved away from there.
After that she ran back and found her phone on the ground. She picked it up and was ready to run when she saw Jack was almost near to her. Still she tried running. The street was empty so no one actually saw them. Jack and Damien were behind her when she turned to the main road.
Jack was inches away from her but her legs were giving up. She carried herself forward when Jack grabbed her by the bag on her back. She took off it when Damien pushed her. Since they were on the main road and many vehicles were running there.
Because of the push, Lily's feet stumbled and she fell on the road. "What did you do?," shouted Jack at Damien. The people there shouted as a huge giant truck came towards Lily's direction. She got up from the road and was glued to her place.
The driver of the truck tried applying brakes but it was too late. The other vehicles from the other side stopped as they knew it was going to be a big accident. Lily covered her eyes from her palms as she knew this was the end.
Suddenly she felt an arm around her. The shouts of people stopped and she opened her eyes thinking she's dead but no, she wasn't. A guy who was quite older than her, with shiny golden hair embraced her tightly and the next second he put his hand on the truck. The truck slightly rose up from behind.
The frictional sounds could be heard but for Lily those sounds were nothing because she was looking at the guy who was holding her.
The truck immediately stopped with a huge blow but Lily was only looking at the guy who just saved her. Her heart beats stopped and she forgot to take breaths when the guy turned his face towards her. She was immersed in his green eyes but soon she blacked out.
Sleep comes so much easier when you feel fulfilled. I felt like I had done everything that I had ever wanted to do and for that, I felt at peace with myself and the world around me. The world hadn't been as ugly as I thought that it would be. Well, maybe it was but the experience that I had was a pleasant one because even though I was outside, I was still kept in a safety blanket.I experienced all the things that girls in romantic movies experienced and it made me feel normal. Which is something I never thought myself to be. I mean, I was Oden's doll. There was nothing normal about that.I have always been special my entire life. It felt good to finally experience what everyone else experiences. It felt good to simply blend in with people and their experiences.Bishop had blessed me with a freedom that Oden would have never even blinked an eye at. Oden kept me tucked under his arm while Bishop seemed to go out of
"Doll, wake up," I heard someone whisper over and over in my ear. I frowned, feeling frustrated because they were interrupting me from my dream world. That's where I went to escape. In my dream world, I was with Oden, sitting between his legs as he played with my hair and braided it. I groaned, but opened my eyes to look into Bishop's blue orbs."What's wrong?" I asked in a groggy voice, "do we have to leave again?" I couldn't think of any other reason that he could've disturbed my sleep for, except this."I know that it's late, but..." he paused, gesturing to the window behind him with his thumb, "it's raining.""It's raining?""Yes, it's raining.""Raining?""Yes, it's raining.""It's raining..."He chuckled, shaking his head, "let's go outside."I shot up from the bed and accepted his han
He took us to one of his other homes. This one wasn't the opulent penthouse that we had been at before, but this was a beautiful, modern and fancy home. It wasn't anything like the Huxx's home, his was more modest. It only had four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in a beautiful community where you could hear the screeches of kids and see dogs being taken for walks in the morning.I had been spending most of my time in my room, sitting on my bed with my knees to my chest as I looked outside the window, watching the groups of kids on their fancy skateboards and bikes, speed up and down the street.They served as my entertainment.The only time I saw Bishop was when I went down to eat and even then, most days he wasn't there. He left two guards with me to watch me the entire day when he wasn't here.I yawned as I stretched and stood up from the bed, deciding to eat because my stomach was cry
I smiled at the realization that Oden is on his way and he's close. How do I know this? Because Bishop woke me up with a start and pointed a gun into my back, daring me to put up a fight as he led me into his car and began driving us away.I looked at the distant city, a smile on my face as my fingers held onto the glass. Oden cared, and that's all I cared about. I didn't care that Bishop had managed to get me away before Oden got to me. As long as Oden was looking for me, I knew that everything was going to work out.I was still Oden's perfect doll and he was coming for me.I looked on at the city until it became but a small dot in the distance and I couldn't see anything anymore. I finally took my face off the window and rested my head against the seat before I looked at Bishop's lap where his gun sat in between his thighs as he drove.He had his hands on the steering wheel but his face was p
He left me alone for the rest of the day and for that, I was glad. Either he left me alone or I was doing a good job at staying in my room the entire time and not leaving so I don't have to face him.I was hurt that he had laughed at me and laughed at my words of referrin
I regained consciousness after some time, reality pulling me away from the comfort that sleep provided. My eyesight was blurry l, I was struggling to fight the fatigue and I couldn't understand what was going on. I didn't know where I was, who I was with or why I was h
I slipped on my favourite pair of fluffy slippers before I adjusted my night dress. I walked around the room, leaning in close to Oden, "Oden, I'm going to get some cookies and milk. Would you like some?" his eyes abruptly opened as he looked at me in the dark but his silence was indication
I smiled widely, my arms opened wide as I ran to Oden who was just stepping into the room. I threw my arms around him as I happily squealed and celebrated his return from work. He accepted the energetic hug, already used to how I acted every time that he came home from work.
