INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 067
(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

(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

(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

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)A week flew by, and I could not take my mind off the new student, with whom I shared a few classes. I could not help but stare whenever I had the chance, like right now, with my elbow on the table, my cheek on my palm, and my gaze fixed on the figure a few seats away. I drank him in shamelessly, making sure to wink whenever he looked my way because, damn, I’d never seen anyone so freaking hot. Was he even human? because obviously, I was not the only one who lusted after him; half the class was drooling over him as well, but I saw him first, so he was mine."You are drooling, Kai." Killian smacked me on the thigh while his gaze was fixed on the professor lecturing at the front of the class and scribbling notes in his notebook."I know.""Eryx has told me about your obsession with the new transfer student, and I have witnessed it for myself because you are not so secretive about it. I bet the whole school already knows." Killian tsked."Do they also know I'm going

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)Though my parents claimed I had been doing it for ages, I never dared to ask, and I put it down to the accident, so I developed a few hobbies of my own because I was always feeling alien and new whenever I tried something.Motorcycle racing piqued my interest. Behind the helmet, I loved the rush and feel of the wind—the adrenaline rush as my bike zapped through the track field at high speeds—and it was even better when I was competing. The urge to get to the finish line grew stronger, and I made sure I was always first.As soon as I crossed the finish line, I slammed on the brakes and killed the motorcycle's engine. I took off my helmet, saying hello to the bright sunlight and the wind on my bare face."You are getting better with each race." Arm dangling over Killian's shoulder, Eryx stepped forward. "And my desire to race grows every time I visit this place." Killian rolled his eyes, sensing that there was no chance of success because Eryx would never allow hi

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)"Mom! Dad! I brought a friend!" I yelled as I pulled Ralph into the house and the living room, where my parents were.They looked our way, and I shoved Ralph in front of me. I felt gibby. It was like showing my boyfriend to my parents and seeking their approval, but Ralph wasn't my boyfriend yet. "Mom, Dad, this is Ralph.""Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Celestia." Ralph bowed slightly.Mom stood up, her sparkling eyes drafting between Ralph and me before settling on Ralph. She stared at him closely, a slight frown gracing her features. "Your friend looks familiar, Kai. Have we met before, young man?"Ralph shook his head. "I don't think so, Mrs. Celestia. My family and I move around a lot.”"Oh." Mom looked over at me, and I beamed. A smile owned her face. "It's the first time Kai has brought someone else home other than Eryx and Killian. It's nice to meet you, Ralph.""Thank you, Mrs. Celestia." Ralph bowed slightly again."Mom. Ralph and I are going to my room to study a

(RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW)I tried to resist, to turn a blind eye to his bold advances, to be indifferent, but he was irresistible, and he knew it too well, but he had no idea how long I held my breath from breathing him in, how much my heart raced whenever he was too close, and how I constantly fought the urge to grab him and slam him against the wall and have my way with him.He made it difficult and when he kissed me, he shattered the walls I’d built around myself to keep him out as if they were made of glass rather than bricks.I found myself recalling every memory he lacked, and having his lips on mine made me realize how much I craved and desired him.When he turned after addressing his guest, I was in a daze as I ran my thumb over my lip, feeling a tingling sensation I had not felt in a long time and lighting a fire that had been snuffed out three years ago.When his guest left and he turned to face me, I found myself diving for his lips, kissing him as if I were starving and taki
