I was hyperventilating. Never in my twenty-two years of life had I imagined blushing just because a boy decided to sit next to me. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but when Ivan's friends called him over, he ditched them and plopped down in front of me, digging into his lunch like it was the last meal on Earth. I didn't know if I should stare at him, eat, or remember how to breathe. Spoiler alert: I chose hyperventilating.

"Are you okay, Fina? Your face is all red," I swallowed realising my panic was showing on my face. I shook my head, hiding my burning cheeks with my hair I thankfully decided to keep losing today. My hands were clumpy and all sweaty in this cold weather. I hope he didn't find me awkward or weird. Moreover, I could feel piercing gazes slicing through me. The girls sitting behind me had been glaring at me ever since Ivan and I stepped into the cafeteria. Ivan mentioned they were from our class. How come I never saw them?

  • Serpentine Desires    New-The Prey

    I woke up to a splitting headache, the kind that made every heartbeat feel like a hammer against my skull. Confusion clouded my thoughts as I slowly blinked my eyes open, trying to get my bearings. Soreness spread through my limbs and a dull ache that made me wince as I shifted on the bed. I wasn’t sure what hurt more, the throbbing in my head or the tension knotted in my muscles.Groaning softly, I pushed myself up, immediately noticing a small glass of water on the nightstand beside me. Next to it, a few pills and a note.Have them.Underneath, it was signed: K.M.Kyle? I squinted at the writing, my eyes tracing the initials. Could Kyle have left these? I didn’t recall him ever leaving a note like this before. But... the handwriting. It seemed... off. Did both of them have the same writing?I didn’t have the energy to think it through. I grabbed the pills, downing them with a gulp of water. The liquid felt cool and soothing against my dry throat, but it did little to ease the heavy

    She was trembling, skin hot, feverish. Weak.Despicable.Yet she clung to me as though I was the only thing tethering her to this fucking world. She was tethering to this fucking world. My lips pressed against her pulse point. Her body, that delicate little thing, responded. It always did. And it always would. I would make sure of that.It amused me. The fear in her eyes mingled with something else. Submission, maybe. Or was it a fractured will, too broken to resist?Didn’t matter.It just made me want to trace the edge of her jaw, and I did as my thumb brushed over her soft burning skin. Fragile. Breakable. But that’s what I liked about her, what made her so damn...entertaining.A little bird with clipped wings. She’d never fly away from me, even if she tried.I dragged the fabric of her dress down, ripping it like tissue paper, exposing more of her. She gasped, a sound that pleased me more than it should have. Weak. All of them were weak. But her weakness stirred something in me, so

    omething was terribly wrong with me.My insides twisted, and my breaths felt like fire as it clawed through my throat. My skin felt too tight, burning, yet I shivered uncontrollably. Fever? I didn’t know. Everything was a blur like I was trapped in a dizzying haze where time warped and nothing made sense.I couldn’t remember how I ended up in the car. The details slipped through my fingers like water. Kyle was driving, his knuckles white on the wheel, but my focus wasn’t on him. Judas sat beside me, his arm wrapped around my trembling body, pulling me closer until I was on his lap.He killed five men.And here I was, curled against him like a child seeking comfort.My head spun. Cold. So cold. My body trembled, but I couldn’t pull away. The warmth of him was the only thing anchoring me, the only thing keeping the fear from consuming me whole.Ironic how this man was my living nightmare.“You’re burning up, ptichka,” his breath was like fire against my ear. A slow burn that curled thro

    I was not afraid of death, but the man breathing over my head.Ready to take my soul.Demolish me. And then devour me.As if he hadn't done it already.I didn't know how I was still breathing, or why was I even alive. He should plung this knife into my chest and kill me too. Cause I couldn't watch it. How could I when a man was squirming on the floor in his own blood.Everything around me was shrinking, suffocating me in the violence.My breath caught in my throat as I looked disbelievingly Judas—calm, collected, eerily unbothered by the pool of blood now seeping across the floor. His fingers resumed their idle robotical drumming against my waist.And with every tap, I'd panic a little more.Carlo's guttural groans filled the suffocating silence, but Judas paid him no mind. His hand, now clean of blood, traced slow, almost affectionate circles on my side. The warmth of his touch burned through the cold shock freezing my limbs and I couldn't move."Strange, isn't it?" His voice was low

    My skin was on fire, prickling under the intensity of his touch, and it was too much.I didn’t even remember ripping off the woolen scarf and tossing it into the backseat of the car. The cold air bit into my exposed neck, but it was nothing compared to the searing heat of this monster’s arm around my waist.His cane tapped rhythmically as we walked, his sunglasses shielding his unreadable eyes from the world, the prettiest and perfect illusion of blindness.Ask me, I’d write his tales with better pen.I didn’t know why he bothered to bring me along.Kyle trailed behind us, stiff and silent like always, with guards I didn’t recognize shadowing our every step. My ankle throbbed faintly, a dull reminder of the price I’d paid for being careless. But the pain was manageable—nothing compared to the six feet four inches bastard that tower over me like a storm cloud.We were escorted to the private dining area, what caught my sight first was the large table at the center, surrounded by men.

    This… this felt surrel. To the point I couldn’t believ my eyes.Why would he send me this?As I pulled out the red dress from the paper bag, my fingers brushed over the luxurious fabric. The tag—a name that screamed wealth—hung from the sleeve. My breath caught. It was something the younger me would’ve died to wear. Now? It felt like a noose tightening around my neck.A box sat beside the dress, the lid slightly open. Cherry red heels, delicate and fierce, just like the man who’d chosen them. Next to that, a small box with diamond studs and a ribbon. The bow? Red, of course. It was all a message.My hands trembled as I placed the dress back. But the thought of refusing him wasn’t an option. I knew what he was capable of, what lines he wouldn’t hesitate to cross. Wearing this dress—it wasn’t just about dinner. It was control, and he had all of it.Sighing, I grabbed the dress and put it on. Though the more the fabric touched my skin, the more it burned.The reflection in the mirror was
