The silence was so loud that I could hear my own heart beating. Thump… thump… thump It was calm and steady with no signs of it ever increasing its speed, and my mind was peaceful for once. No chaotic thoughts or any visions that had me even more confused than I already was. I couldn’t see. There was darkness around me, shadowing me from the world that I found myself trapped in. I couldn’t move. My limbs were frozen in time as I continued to lay there in this suffocating silence. Why couldn’t I feel anything? Why couldn’t I see anything? Why? The darkness around me was terrifying just as much as it was enticing, and the longer I stayed there the more I found myself wanting to stay… forever. “St…” A voice! Finally! I heard something. Within this endless darkness, my ears picked up the sound of a plea and I strained myself to listen as the voice became louder. “Ru…”

We stayed that way for a while as I released all the tears and emotions that I had bottled up inside. I couldn’t meet his eyes anymore, so I kept my face buried into his chest. “I’m not a good person, Axil.” I mumbled brokenly, the gaping hole in my heart from back then making an appearance once more, “I’m selfish and self-centered, and I have no regard for anyone but myself and my family.” Axil wrapped his arms around me and began to rub circles into my back in a soothing manner, “and what makes you think that?” “When I first got to earth and the cops found me under that bridge, I was devastated. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. My mother was gone, my people dead and I got separated from my sisters. I had nothing anymore and I didn’t know what to do. I wanted revenge. I wanted to kill everyone who played a part in my people’s destruction. Then I was adopted into Liza’s family. They took me in and for a while, I refused to acknowledge them as my parents becau

Axil twisted us around and pulled me onto his chest as he laid down on the hard ground, pulling himself out of me. I could feel our fluid slowly dripping out of my heat and trailing down my legs. Our heavy breathing filled the air as we tried to calm ourselves down. I gasped as Axil's hand grasped my inner thing gently and looked up into his face curiously. He pulled back his hand to show me the little smudge of blood mixed within our cum. “This was your first time?” He asked in surprise. I turned my head away in embarrassment and nodded against his chest, my voice coming out small, “you should be honoured that I chose you as my first.” His chest rumbled as a growl released from it and his hands came to wrap themselves around me, pulling me tighter into his body. His chin rested on my head as he hummed softly, “I am honoured.” We laid there in silence and simply enjoyed each other's embrace. Out of curiosity, I asked, “

A yelp escaped my lips as a sharp pain collided with my little legs, causing me to fall back on my butt with an oomph! My leg throbbed as I reached forward to rub at the area, a frown blanketing my face. “That hurts,” I muttered begrudgingly. “Ezmira,” a stern voice sounded out as I struggled to get back up on my aching feet. I glanced lazily over at the woman in question. Mother. My mother stood at the side of the training grounds with her hands folded neatly in front of her, her cold, indifferent eyes boring a hole deep into my small nine-year-old frame as my sister, Elysia and I stood facing each other. I pursed my lips at her disapproving gaze and huffed, bending my knees slightly and bracing my arms out in front of me in preparation for the next attack. Elysia smiled at me slightly with apologetic eyes, “I’m sorry.” I shook my head, “don’t apologize. Let’s go again.” I approached her steadily and swung out

I spent the rest two days in the hospital doing absolutely nothing. Since I was 'recuperating', I decided to use it to my advantage to laze around and read stories all day without any interruptions. I knew that after I got out of the hospital, things wouldn't be the same again, and I'd probably have to get insanely busy from now on. This meant less time for me, which meant less time to read, which means less time to do absolutely nothing. I mentally sighed. It sounded like torture. Liza visited my room often but left after being ignored by me every single time. From what I heard, little Bea and her had become the best of friends. I was never good with kids, so I haven't managed to get close with the little rug rat yet. Liza said it was mostly because I ignored kids instead of giving them the attention they needed, but I don't see what's so wrong about that. It ain't my kid; my attention was needed elsewhere. Axil had also stopped by once befor
