[HOSPITAL]Blake lay on the bed, unconsciously. His monitor beeped faintly. Drip and wires were connected to his hand and stomach. He just had surgery and a blood transfusion. His breathing was faint. An oxygen mask was worn on him to support his breathing. His ward was filled with lots of fan gifts and letters. They were all praying and wishing for his safe recovery. Audrey hadn't returned from the police station, and Skye stepped out not long ago. Heavily built guards stayed in the hospital to keep the crazy fans out of the ward.The door creaked open, and a lady dressed as a doctor walked in. She carefully closed the door but did not bolt it.She turned to look at Blake, tears sliding down her cheeks. Slowly, she took off the nose mask she was wearing, revealing her face.Joanna.She took slow steps towards Blake. She sat in the available chair next to him. She raised her trembling hand and touched his forehead before taking his hand into hers."I'm sorry," she mumbled. "So very s
[HELL DEVILS' HIDEOUT]Drexton stood on the balcony, staring down at the city's night lights.The incident replayed over and over in his head.No matter how hard he tried to forget it, the incident forced its way back into his head.The plan wasn't to get Ixora arrested. He wanted to scare her a little bit, and also to remind her that he was everywhere.He had no idea she was with a knife, and to think the knife was initially meant for him meant she intended to kill him.She couldn't escape him. Now, she is behind bars.He would have gone and released her, but recalling his parents had also spent a night behind locked bars made his jaw tighten.His parents also went to jail for a crime they didn't commit. They begged and cried the same way as Ixora. Her parents insisted on staying in jail, and his parents had to spend seven days behind bars.He balled his palm, the shocked appearance when she saw it was Blake, appeared in his head again.Slowly, he was returning their favor."Guilty?
The lights came on.She pulled out the knife.Her eyes went wide. The knife slipped from her trembling hands as she saw the face of the person."I... I... Xora," Blake stuttered weakly, pressing his palm on the stabbed stomach.Ixora stared at him with wide eyes for a second. Two. She couldn't find her voice."B...lake," she called, her lips quivering.Blake traced his palm, which had already been stained by his blood.His gaze met Ixora's own, and slowly, he fell to his knees."Somebody call the ambulance and the police. That girl just tried to murder that boy."She heard a person shout."Blake!" she called, tears sliding down her cheeks.She rushed to him and held him before his head could touch the ground.She went on the ground with him."Blake! Somebody help!" she shouted, shaking his body.Blake's eyes were on her.Ixora could see the look of hurt in his eyes.Slowly, he closed his eyes, going into an unconscious state."Blake! Somebody please call the ambulance!""Blake!" Skye
[NIGHT, CINEMA]As promised, Ixora had come with Blake to the cinema. He wasn't doing her a favor because she, too, needed it. Currently, she was standing outside while waiting for Blake to get them their treat.She would look around the place occasionally, and why? Because a part of her was telling her that something would go wrong.It wasn't a natural feeling that something bad would happen, but it would happen because of that devil. He wasn't around, but she could feel the environment closing in on her. Drexton wasn't around. She couldn't feel him, but the air somehow smelled like him. His threats, his words, his deep stares, his games, his torments, and lastly, his wolf. The only thing she could smell was Drexton, and she had no idea why.He doesn't look like somebody who would come to a cinema, but she shouldn't underestimate him. That was why she had come here fully prepared.She put her bag inside her purse and touched something that felt like a blade. He might try to do so
The streetlights shone brightly on the streets. The night ambiance was cool, and the gentle breeze slapped Nelly's skin softly.Nelly had a smile plastered on her face as she took a night stroll. She had decided to walk on foot. The driver left with her car. She'd call him if anything went wrong. It had been a long time since she had come to New York. She missed the city so much. She would have come back a long time ago, but because of something bad, she had to stay with her mother.She reached a pet shop and saw the cats meowing softly at her. She had always been a lover of cats. She wanted to enter the shop, but the sound of the cricket was a reminder that it was late.She turned and made to continue walking when a car drove past her, splashing mud all over her body. "What the!" Nelly yelled, taking off her glasses since the mud splashed on the lenses.The car abruptly stopped, without applying the brakes.Nelly put on her glasses and walked to the car.She tapped gently on the win
[IXORA'S HOUSE]"Are you planning to wear a long face forever?" Nelly asked, climbing down the stairs with Ixora.She came to New York today, during Aunt Maria's burial, in the cemetery. She followed Ixora home to greet her parents, but they weren't around, unfortunately, and she was about to leave."We were close," Ixora muttered."She can't come back from the dead." She paused, then continued. "Being part of Hazel's plan already made her a betrayer," Nelly said, her words still slow.Ixora looked at her and smiled."I guess I should just move on. It was meant to happen. What about Aunt?" Ixora asked."She didn't come with me," she adjusted her glasses, checking the wall clock. "I will get going now," she said.Ixora hugged her lightly while she left.Ixora stared at her until she was out of sight. Nelly has always been the cute one. She doesn't talk much, but she's always there.She wanted to go back upstairs when the air suddenly grew thick. The environment became cold. She felt li
