ASHLEYIt had been an hour plus and still I couldn't sleep a wink.How could I? When my night was always filled with nightmares from the night of my parents massacre.I pulled myself away from where I had been lying all this while. As I did I could feel each muscle cramping. At that moment I breathed through the pain and walked up the stairs to the bedroom, stealing just a look back at the fireplaceAt that moment thinking back to everything that was happening I was fueled with a different type of anger.My anger wasn't at the incident that had happened. It was the fact that even after then everything had changed. I was supposed to be having my revenge but here I was with no clue of what I wanted from myself.In a way some part of me felt like I was pushing this a bit too far, farther than I would have wanted. It was like I was losing control Kael still wasn't in the room when I walked in. I frowned, citing the fact that I had spent all that time worrying and hoping.After my prio
LUCIUSAs I stepped back into the shadow after retracting my steps I clenched my fist. Some part of me wanted to reach out and grab her just as she was standing right there but I had to keep my cool for so many reasons.The journey back was the same filled with silence . All that filled the moment was the sound of my heart beat that wouldn't stop ricocheting -I slammed the door behind me as soon as I was and paced the length of the room till I felt my shoes might punch a hole through the ground.“I can't do it!" I muttered to myself. “I can't just watch her with him." A knock came from the door making me more annoyed. At once I ignored but whoever persisted.“Who the hell is that!" I marched all the way the door all flustered and opened the door ready to give whoever it was a dress down in privacy.“Oh. It's you." I muttered before retracting my steps back to the room.“You are looking so terrible." Blake grimaces àlmost like he was shocked. “Been here earlier and wait…” he sniffs
ASHLEY I had one way to explain all of what happened, still the best way was acceptance, accepting that all of this was not real . Another way was to bury the case with another, it made it easier for acceptance.In my case that was exactly what I did. Lorna had walked in with another case and it did help to take my mind away from what initially had happened.“Wait, do you have a clue to who this person is?”she asked while I paced around the room." Calm down Ashley, I am not even bothered about this case like you are .” She chuckles.Much as I was so prone to being secretive about things. Hiding them wasn't my specialty. I settled down when she had spoken and took a deep breath while I leaned back in my chair and cracked the stiffness in my neck. I could feel the entire scene burn in my head again as that restlessness that had been in my mind was hovering over it.My mind had been haunted by the thoughts of how surreal the whole situation had been“Ashley!" “Ash-" I Jittered as
ASHLEY“So what are you going to do about everything he said?” Worry creased on my brows.The guard just dropped a bombshell that made my skin crawl and for what felt like minutes I couldn't bring myself to accept how close I was to danger.“Are you certain the scent you caught was from the rouge pack?" Kael ignored me and threw the question at the guard.“Yes , I am very much positive…It was still fresh.” He spoke with confidence.I was worried about how the man spoke without mixing up words majorly because it only meant whatever he had seen or whatever the scent he caught was most certainly true.Still I pondered on if I should be the one having a hard time processing what to do about all of this. When Kael should have taken actions.“What are you going to do about this ?" I asked again, trying to make certain that he heard me the first time.“Shh! Let me think.” He waves his hand dismissively.What! I almost cringed . What in the hell was he thinking about in a situation this vita
KAEL“Who could have been after her ?" I groaned to myself."What could she have been hiding?”Maybe I was doing too much by caring or how else would I explain it , my walk back to the room was filled with those thoughts.Thoughts that kept clouding my mind and made me less aware of the the void that filled the sound of the night, my soul was on rampage as though frozen yet alive- As I made my way out of the darkness, fear and anxiety chipped in my heart as I remained engulfed in thoughtful silence.I was desperate to know why she had chosen to hide all this from me and was more worried about how scared she had been earlier.Whatever way it was, I had experienced many feelings and had seen many of her shenanigans and whatever it was women called it , but this I couldn’t say was adaptable to Beneath all of this was a need to know for sure what the sage had said, I thought about summoning her but I didn't want to give any room for any more situations that might disrupt whatever pea
ASHLEYIt has been about twenty minutes since I was there lurking in the woods still lost in thought. My heart ricocheted heavily as it was still lost in the thought of that evening.The evening air breezes past me creating an atmosphere of absolute serenity,yet my mind was not at peace. It was as though shattered.I didn't know how long the sudden urge to get back home had crossed my mind.Snap! I heard the sound clear as day and made a quick pause, at this point I could hear my heart accelerating.“Who is there!” I called out into the dark.My steps were cautioned; it felt like someone was watching. Who it was I couldn't tell, I couldn't say.My heartbeat quickened as I hurried back. It was becoming more evident with each step that I took that someone was there, someone was watching.Soon,my quickened steps became a shuttle. I could feel every hair on my skin spiking with fear and anxiety.In my haste to get away I bumped into something to someone, my first reaction was shock. At f
