I sat up startled, gasping for air. The air felt dense, I felt something wet on where I was sitting, raising my hand up, palm facing towards me – water? I looked around my surroundings and realized I was in another one of those dream-like phases. But this time, I was aware of it. I was aware that I was in the dream plane. Something was different though, this was not mine. It was too peaceful, too quiet and empty aside from the clouds above that moved at a slow pace. I turned my head to the side and saw a huge wide space reaching as far as my eyes could see – the clouds reflecting down on the waters like a mirror. There was nothing in here. It felt empty yet solace was hanging around the air like tiny orbs.
I stood up from the wetness I was sitting on, only to my surprise, I was dry. “Huh, that&rsq
Advance Merry Christmas to the few readers :)
There was a moment of silence between Lyv and I as we stared into the clouds that moved at a slow pace. We were laying down on the mirrored-like waters a few feet away from the black obelisk. The waters flowed slowly behind our back – it was the only gentle noise that could be heard on the peaceful plane. There were mere seconds as we stared right up above the slow-moving clouds that I wished could be forever.I sighed loudly for Lyv to hear. I could see her look at me in the corner of my eyes. She propped her elbow and faced me, tilting her head slightly to me. “Are you okay?”I pursed my lips, shrugging half-heartedly, “Yeah. I just wished this could last.”She laid back down on the slow-moving waters making a tiny slosh sound, her hands entwined together on her stomach. “Well,
The Witch of Neverwhere.I sighed loudly. I seemed to have forgotten about what she said. How could I forget such things that are important? I wanted to bang my head against the counter for forgetting things. Why am I such a forgetful person?“You forgot, didn’t you?”, Lyv smiled gently, tilting her head to the side slightly.I embarrassingly looked down at my boots and nodded. I could feel my cheeks redden. “Yeah.”, I mumbled, biting my lip hard. The events that have happened must’ve taken my mind off of it completely that I forgot about that. I mean, who wouldn’t? Wanting to have peace instead of having a huge responsibility on my shoulders, or having this undeniable pain aching
"I have avoided the pain that I have brought upon myself by adoring you from afar. Far enough that I couldn't even touch you, or talk to you. I avoided everything that I knew little about you. Because I knew, that it would hurt greatly. I adored someone who doesn't see me the way I do to her.This familiar pain I've felt for you, no, I have inflicted on myself by hoping that I could have a chance with you – was a mere delusion and false hope I had.I could never have you. You never saw me the way I did. It was a making of my own mind, a theatrical joke that I, myself, conducted. It was, is, laughable.A false hope.I think of you, yes &ndas
“What was that?”, Leah inspected the room. I was still slumped in Lyv’s arm, holding me tight as if I would go away any moment she would let go.Things around the room were a cluttered mess. Tables turned, a chair broke its leg, books everywhere, papers and vases broken to pieces. It was like the room just had its own storm. Everything was turned upside down save for the shelves that were mounted on the floor. The air around the room was thin – breathing deeply was hard.Leah sniffed something that caught on her nose. “Do you smell that?”, she walks around, trying to find the source of the smell. “It’s getting stronger.” She crouches down and snuffs through the almost empty shelves. Placing her hand on one of the shelves – she looked through it and saw one book that was left standing oddly than the res
**Another third person’s POV** In another far distant place in the world, there stood a woman, jet black hair in a tight proper bun, basking in the heavy rain with her black umbrella taking in the heaviness of the pouring water – the hem of her brown coat and her slick black boots were wet. Her hands were in the pockets of her coat. She stood eerily, watching someone from across to where she was. Red lips as red as blood smiling, the collar of her coat hiding the mischievousness of it. Black as the void sunglasses sat atop her nose. Covering her eyes to anyone who pried to look – masking her sight on the prey to avoid suspicion. It was like she was one with the shadows, the darkness that surrounds the night, invisible to others’ eyes. And with the heavy rain pouring, it was a great cover for an Ender
There was a moment's hesitation when Leah struck her knife towards the abdomen of Lyv as a transformed Serpent, but nonetheless, she struck it – avoiding any vital organs. I yelped helplessly behind Leah, standing out of the way from them. Lyv hissed and screamed, and retreated back into the smoke she created. There was nothing we could do much in the smoke but to wait and listen to her as Lyv prepares for her next ambush attack. I gripped Leah’s shirt in the back, afraid of losing her in the smoke. “Was that a fatal wound you gave her?”, I asked her in a hushed tone. She leaned in a bit to reply. “Not really, it was just to slow her down. Don’t worry, I avoided any organ in her abdomen. It’ll heal.”, she assured me.
**Third Person’s POV**The silver-haired woman curled up like a ball on the side, avoiding the fight between the two strangers fighting for her life. Every blow they take shook every core of the poor innocent woman. She thought, was this the end of her? Was this how she dies? At the hands of a stranger, and a death, meaningless?The rain was still pouring hard, her tears covered by it. The night was long, she had thought, if only she had stayed home. She looks up at the dark sky. She sighs, there were no stars at all. She had hoped to see stars when she dies. Tears rolled down her cheeks though it looked like it was the rain. She was helpless. Her hopes diminished.She heard the man shout, she looked at the fight –
“Ugh.”, Tyson moaned and rolled his eyes as if he hadn’t eaten for years. “God this is the best food I’ve had.”Mike looked at his brother with furrowed brows and scoffed mockingly. “What, you haven’t eaten beans in all your life?”His brother gave him a death stare. “Shut up. I just haven’t eaten for days.”Lyv raised one brow at him. “Oh really? You’re such a baby.” She gave him a teasing look.“I’ll punch you in the face.”, Tyson spat.“Oh, you’ll hit a girl?”, she batted her eyelashes at him.Tyson was about to reply back again but Leah interrupte
