The Devil's Weakness

She closed her eyes and shivers, her breath was cut short. Not a thought was in her mind. Her world shattered into pieces “Mum!” She yelled out, the moment she heard the gunshot, her body was filled with the splashes of her mum’s blood.Mum! She cried out for the second time.‘Why did you shoot her?” The robber who was holding Jasmine lost his grip as she ran to her mum; she couldn’t explain where the strength came from. Her lifeless mum was on the table, her eyes were closed. Jasmine ran up to her ignoring the robbers as though they couldn’t kill her in seconds. “Why did you kill her?” The robber asked his fellow, unexpected and unplanned, what the gunshot was. “She made me angry! Are you not angry? We wasted so much gas and energy on the likes of them and you don’t want me to exert my anger. Are you fucking insane?”He stomped his foot and pointed the gun to Jasmine’s mum.“We don’t take lives, you wasted her. Even if we kidnapped her we would have made some money!” His fellow e

“Who are you?” Jasmine asked with fear surging through her. This man before her looked nothing like anything good. If you judged by his multiple tattoos and the soft faraway look on his face, Jasmine felt like taking the easy way out of her apartment. His features looked soft but it was doing more of scaring her than making her actually calm. She didn’t want to die just like her mom.Her carelessness and forgetfulness was the reason her mum and this might be her fate too. Instead of answering her question, he takes time to tear apart the rose flower he was holding. He removed each petals with a soft smile and he hummed to a tune Jasmine has never heard before. The sound was soft and calming, something she hadn’t felt in months.“Call me peace, I bring that to people.” He said softly and she scoffed. If someone covered in tattoos could preach peace, then the men that killed her mom could be mistaken as popes. He didn’t find her scoff amusing so he continued ripping apart the flowers.

"Oh my God!" Jasmine shrieked and her phone fell on her face. She didn't feel as she normally would; depressed. She was plain.She closed her eyes immediately and opened them back, stupefied at the man who appeared in front of her. She sighed for relief."Yes, this night can't get crazier, I am definitely still drunk Jasmine!"Jasmine said out loud as she stood up and nodded her head, she had an empty beer in her hand."What are you doing here? Can't you use the door?" Jasmine who was unfazed with him stated as she pointed at the door. She wore a pair of bunny slippers that weren't there before, she looked at the pair oddly. "These weren't here before!" She tilted her head as she wiggled them on her foot."I am definitely drunk." Jasmine said as she sat on her bed, she gulped the empty bottle. She hissed at the fact that not a single drop came out."So, Mr- uh" She stammered as she tried to remember the name of the man in front of her."Hades" Axel replied to her when he read her, he

The next morning."Hi, I am Jasmine. Jasmine Waters." She stretched her hands out for a handshake. She had chills when he came in, she stood up from the chair and turned around to see the man she had heard so much about. Jasmine didn’t expect to see such a young man, the stories she heard from her mum? The man she stared at didn't seem young not at all. She raked him and saw how strong he seemed. He had a fierce look on his face, he didn't wear any expression. Jasmine sighed inward with her right hand out."Hi, I am Hades. Nice to meet you." He stood with his arms in his pocket, Jasmine gave a weird smile as her handshake got ignored, she rubbed her hands and forgot about it."I am a very busy man, but I was told you needed to see me with the matter of an urgency and so I am here." He spoke as though he would be charged for the amount of words he said. Jasmine tried to lighten up the mood a bit with a smile but the man in front of her was unmoved. Not a smile he wore. Jasmine wondere

Jasmine.Jasmine woke up and rolled over. She called out to Brandon. "Brandon!" "Brandon! Are you here?" She got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, she opened the door and peeked through. She didn't see anyone.She walked to his gaming room and the living room. "Brandon?" She cried out as she stood like a log, she had her hair messed up and scattered, some fell over to her face.She didn't realize she had slept all day. She stretched and yawned like a baby.It was just past three, Jasmine went on to the bathroom to check for any messages. Brandon didn't leave any sticky notes or a message as to where he went. Jasmine decided to take a shower: a short one. She walked out dripping in water. She cleaned herself.She walked around with his towel on her. She smiled and went to the wardrobe. Brandon was a huge fan of big tops and plain shirts, asides being a turn on for Jasmine? They fitted him so easily and so well.She trailed her hand all through the outfits and smiled. She did a
