"Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting". - Joyce MeyerIt is getting late where is that man? I glance at my watch biting the inside of my cheek. This is why I never agree to meet clients after hours, especially at places like this. Skunky bars that is. I hate places like this. Always smelling like testosterone, sweat, smoke, and drinks. Not even mentioning the drunk men thinking that they are some kind of exceptional, they mostly are not even attractive. Most of them are old enough to have imoregnated my mother! I place my empty wine glass on the bar signaling to the bartender to keep the wine coming. All I wanted was to kick off my shoes, unstrap my bra and find a comfortable spot on the couch in front of the television tonight.I turn around as soon as I hear a group of people entering the lonely bar where I find myself being held hostage in, waiting on a new client who is interested in buying the place currently known as 'The hub

"Not knowing the thing that's chasing you is a lot scarier than seeing it right in front of you." - Oren Peli "Miss Taylor..." The officer sighs with defeat brushing his fingers through his hair. All these questions is making my head spin. Who is he? What happened? Why were you there? With him? Soon after I passed out I woke up in the hospital where they kept me over night. There was a police man dressed in blue, constantly at the door that let to my private room. Thank goodness for medical insurance otherwise I wouldn't be so lucky to have a private room. "Miss Tay...""Lilith." I interrup the doctor fiddling with my fingers. I just want to go home, lay down and try to piece everything together. What happened? Why did the guy assaulting me change his mind. It is like he had multiple personalities. First assaulting me then calling the police for... himself?"There is no serious injuries. You might need a bit of rest, but you will be fine in a day or two." He place my file on the ta

"There is an old saying: If you want to hide the treasure, put it in plain sight. Then no one will see it." - Larry DosseyI pull the cap of my jacket over my head when I turn onto the busy sidewalk of a very busy New York City. I should be thankful that I live in a city that never sleeps, imagine how visible I would be if I was alone. Making my way through all the people I stumble and fall over a box meeting the ground with my knees and palms. Hands pushing forward, knees bending at instinct, but in the air, fall. Could my night get anymore embarrassing. 'Who leaves a box in the middle of a sidewalk.' I mutter under my breath getting up and dusting the dirt from my knees. My body is aching and my head throbbing. I just need a place to think. To sit down and go over all of this. A place that I can find aspirin for my head.At least no one seemed to notice me going head on with mother earth. I glance around me. It could have been worse I follow the man infront of me into the coffee sho

"Knowing his strength, to cover the scar even though it's always there, however, to be impossible is for one to see his weakness as, not an adversary, but the cherry on top of his strength, to rearrange the scar so that it compliments his features." - Criss JamiA hand care over my cheek making its way up my forehead outlining the frown on it then suddenly he stops. "You awake?" I don't respond letting him think I am still asleep. His touch is on my cheek again warming up the line as he touches me. I open my eyes meeting the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen when suddenly they scare the shit out of me making me jerk away and fall from the edge of the bed and make a thud sound as I crush 9nto the floor."Shit. Are you okay?" He roll over onto his stomach letting his head hang from the edge of the bed. "Peachy" I nap making an 'o' with my forefinger and my thumb. "I just want to go home, okay." I place my palms flat against the bed pushing myself up. "I'll take you." He sit up brus

"Hidden love is better than open hate." - Matshona DhliwayoArthur's POVAfter a quiet night infront of the television forced to watch Ryan Gosling desperately trying to love some rich girl who's parents doesn't approve of them, but unlike real life things seem to work out for them. I peek over Lilith to find her fast asleep. People who tend to live separate lives should probably continue doing so. If someone writes a book about how a woman's mind works the first chapter should state why woman believe that love from two different worlds could actually work.I lean back my head resting it on the edge of the couch keeping my gaze on the woman asleep with her legs thrown over mine. She had a life of her own before I intervened. She looks so peaceful in her sleep not a worry about the monsters chasing her... or the one who actually have her in his possession.I let her legs fall onto the couch when I stand up looking over her turn for a second, but she doesn't wake. She mumble something

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" - John Lennon"Bitch" His voice echo through the empty building sending ripples bumping against my skull. My feet comes to a pause and I grab my head with both my hands each on a side. Stop. I need the voice to stop.Suddenly I fall onto the ground my face hitting the ground instantly. The sound of teeth clenching pain in my ear. An enormously heavy shadow crush me to the ground. I can't scream. I can't move. The inner line of my mouth is plastered with the horrible taste of metal. Warm thick liquid wet my dry lips letting drops roll over my cheek to the ground. I try pushing the weight of off me, but it is too heavy. My lungs heaving for air. I cant breath. I am suffocating. I loose control over my arms and legs. My whole body turn numb. I need to fight this. I need to.My e

"When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak." - Audre LordeIsabella's POV"Have you heard of her since she left?" Feodor roll onto his side flexing every muscle in his upper shoulder, reminding me why I agreed to go on a date with him six months ago. He eyed me at the gym for a while, but when he came over looking all manly, buff and damp with sweat to ask me out for dinner I couldn't resist. We were kind of in the same line of work, which we adore and we immediately hit it off."No." I turn on my side to face him dragging my finger over the outline of his tattooed sleeve. "I am really starting to get worried. She doesn't have any friends beside me and she hasn't reached out to me yet." I follow the line onto his stone hard chest."Maybe you should reach out to her." He suggests moving me underneath him. "You really think that is a good idea?" I position myself so that his knee can fit be

"People always talk about how hard it can be to remember things - where they left their keys, or the name of an acquaintance - but no one ever talks about how much effort we put into forgetting. I am exhausted from the effort to forget... There are things that have to be forgotten if you want to go on living." - Stephen CarpenterSlowly I close the apartment door behind me when I get back to the apartment. The sun is setting, evaporating the light between the white walls of the open plan kitchen and livingroom. I am late. I should have left earlier, but I missed Isabella so much and to be honest. I wasn't ready to say goodbye. My eyes search for any sign of Arthur, but there doesn't seem to be anyone here. I take a step deeper into the apartment dropping my phone into my pocket."Shh..." A whisper next to my ear send bolts of terror exhilarating through my body. A huge figure behind me set his hand over my mouth and a strong arm wrap around my body. He pull me back with him until we r
