(RALPH’S POINT OF VIEW)I swore to protect him, but I failed before I even tried. As I watched those claws go into his heart, it felt like the world was suddenly weighing on my shoulders, and I was pressed down on one knee, unable to move but watching as he was taken away from me...again. “NO!” I screamed, overwhelmed with an abrupt power I had never felt before, and I didn't know when I had Arryn slammed against the wall—eyes glaring a darker shade of red compared to his—but in a flash, I was behind Kai, catching him before he hit the ground.I watched as he choked on his own blood and a hole in his chest. Shit! I was hit with a variety of emotions all at once.Fear, horror, and terror—I couldn't lose him—not now, not ever.When I turned my gaze to Arryn, his black wings were on display, and he had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. I laid Kai’s lifeless body on the floor and stood to my feet."He is not yours. The master wants his heart, and we do not disobey our master.”With each

(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)Rhys was gone. He promised to return, but as the days passed, I missed him more and more and couldn't help but be grief-stricken. As I felt through Leo's furs, I sighed. "He's probably going to come back soon, right, Leo?” I murmured, and he purred back. I cracked a smile."Will you be okay here, darling? Your grandpa and I are stepping out for a while.” Grandma charged at me, a basket slung over her forehand and Grandpa by her side.I put on a happy face and quickly nodded. "Leo and I will be just fine until you return." Have fun.” I spoke, and as soon as they left through the door, I was suddenly engulfed in a loud silence that caused me to sigh. "I suppose it is just you and me, Leo. Be a good little boy."~^~Hours passed, and despite my best efforts to keep myself occupied, the silence grew so loud that I started to experience a menacing sensation in my stomach and a throb in my ear—I could hear every breath I took.I look out through the window, seeing

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)I goggled at the devoid space in front of me and it stared back at me, none wanting to yield but I was forced to as my ears caught the sound of a 'meow'I spun toward the sound, finding Leo curled beside me. A slim smile crept to my face and I gently massaged his furs, once again reminding me that I wasn't completely alone.But, it wasn't enough. I darted away and back to having a staring match with the wall and again, it peered back, almost malevolently.It had been a day, a week, or perhaps a month since I was brought back and trashed in my room. I'd lost count of how long I'd been on the floor, how long I stared at the wall in the same position till someone walked in through the door and did with me whatever they pleased, and when they left, I returned to my previous position—the ache in my joints was nothing compared to the thorn in my chest and with each passing day, I could feel the vines thriving around my heart, tightening while it's sharp spikes punc

(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)The look of nihility in Blaze's orbs, how his blood gusted out of him, and how it ponded around him—everything flashed before my eyes, and I found myself craving to see it again, more of blood—there was this unquenchable hunger. It hauled me out of my position, and I went out to feed it, and the voices in my head couldn't agree more."Do you really think you will get away with this?" In her bound-to-a-chair position, Mom demanded, and her husband was next to her, suffering the same fate.I laughed as I circled them. “Who says I want to get away with anything? If anything, I want to be caught in the act. I want everyone to see who you were and what you made of me. It would give me great pleasure, but they would only come to your corpses, or should I say your ashes?"I was sick of being their marionette, sick of stashing behind those hoaxed smiles, and sick of being their exemplary son. Why pretend to be someone you are not? Tonight, I was going to show them wh

(RHYS' POINT OF VIEW)Even if it were our nature to destroy and lead them astray, there were only a few things a demon could do in a human's life to keep them from going down the wrong path. But when a human falls too deeply in the wrong direction—like a demon in love—we would do everything we could to make sure they did not succumb to their inner desires and set the world on fire. But at this point, I felt like all of my efforts had been in vain. I realized that leaving him even for a moment meant a bigger disaster that would further erode his humanity and turn him into a bloodthirsty monster. "Then why are you here, drinking, when you should be keeping an eye on him? Who knows what he is up to now, probably igniting the world?" Instead of turning to look at the annoyance next to me, I simply rolled my eyes. Even though my tongue could not detect any flavor in the wine, I took a sip anyway to drown out the club's raucous background noise. Humans reveled in and found pleasure in
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 068
(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)I had an unquenchable desire and hunger for something. I felt like crawling on my skin, wanting it to bleed. Maybe that was what I was looking for. Blood.I examined my hands; instead of being clean, they were stained with blood. Blood of Mr. Smith, Blaze, My parents, Director Faw, and I wanted more. My hands shook for more. And this craving was more intense than any other.Quickly, I got out of bed. My legs propelled me in the direction of the door, but when I opened it, Rhys was standing there and blocking my way. I wished him nothing more than to move."Going somewhere, Cameron?" He gave me a wary look. "I am starving," I blurted, and it wasn't for food, but he didn't need to know that. "I have to go."He gradually pressed in on me, and I found myself walking backward into the room."You are not starving for food, are you?"My hands clenched into fists quickly. "I am not crazy." "Not when you are acting like one." He answered back; his golden eyes had
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 069
(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)Have you ever been abandoned, left to rot away in a cell, and it wasn't just any cell?A mental unit.They labeled me as crazy and a psychopath who should be kept in a mental institution, but they had no idea how much these walls were closing in on me, and the longer I was inside, the closer they grew.Every moment spent here was like a hand wrapped around my neck, cutting off my air supply. I felt suffocated.I stayed on my bed in the corner; the other patient never got close because my hands were stained with more blood than theirs, and I would not hesitate to stain my hands even more with theirs. Although it was not as intense as it had been, the hunger was still present. I looked at my nails and realized I needed some red or maybe black nail polish.Red would look much better because it symbolized a variety of ideas, including my love for Rhys, the color of Blaze's blood, as well as danger and rage. Definitely red. Black, however, would a

(KAI’S POINT OF VIEW)-3 Years Later-Have you ever felt like the life you were living was not yours? Nothing was amiss, yet you could not help but feel suspicious of every good thing that came your way because it felt like it did not belong to you and your life was too perfect.“Mr. Kai Celestia.”Even the sound of my name felt fallacious and incorrect, but I lifted my head as I wrested myself out of my trance and fixed my gaze on the professor, raising an eyebrow and failing to realize the entire class was staring at me.“Yes, Mrs. Elektra.” I smiled sheepishly."Maybe you could share the last thing I said with the class." She glanced at me from behind her reading lesson.I gave a shrug, then a head shake. “No, I don't, because I wasn't listening, Mrs. Elektra.”Her face took on a piqued expression quickly. "You, Mr. Celestia"“I’m sorry, Mrs. Elektra. I will pay attention next time. Don’t become too agitated. It is not heart-healthy.” I sent her a wink that had the entire class lau
