Let Him Go

AriaMy phone rung against my ear. Another update.Or rather, another reminder that no one knew shit. No one had seen Rain. No one had found her. No leads. Just silence. Useless silence.I ended the call.I simply stood in the hallway a second, feeling something be pushing my chest. As though gravity was my punishment to make.So I went into the dining-room.The children were already present, sitting and silent as though we were waiting to commence a funeral. And in a way, maybe we were.Mina was sitting too straight, as a porcelain doll. Thumb and fingers crossed in her knees as she anticipated someone to instruct her when she could proceed. Gina was hardly eating, her eyes hopping along the staircase as though she were watching it to fall or blow up or to bring some one back.And Emory. Emory was the one who couldn’t sit with silence.“What was the update?” His voice cut through the room. Sharp. Cold.I pulled out my chair and sat down slowly. “You’re not going to school today,” I s

RainThe ropes that were bound to me were beginning to dig deep into my wrists, as if they had become a part of me. Hours, maybe days, of rubbing and pulling had left nothing but aching skin. I was almost numb to the pain now. Almost.The door creaked open. My body stiffened in alert, anticipating another dose of torture. However, it was interfered with by a rogue whose expression was unreadable, and whose footsteps were falling slowly onto the floor with the most contemptuous confidence.

Just keys.“Boss says you are supposed to get some fresh air.” And so he crouched down and undid the knots at my ankles.Through my weariness I flinched at suspicion. I had a dry throat, and my voice was sharp and sarcastic.“And shall I then say thank you?”The rogue smirked without humour. “Wouldn’t kill you.”“Would it kill you to untie my wrists too?” I snapped, yanking at the bonds.Before he could answer, the doorway filled with a large

Kol’s Weakness

EmoryI quietly closed the back gates and stepped into the night. I could hear my heat punching so hard that I thought it might rip out of my chest. Every step away from the estate was like stepping off a cliff. I could still see my mother’s worried eyes, hear her voice begging me to be careful, to stay back, to trust Kol.But I couldn’t.I wasn’t going to sit in that house waiting for news. I wasn’t going to pretend I could eat breakfast or do homework while Rain was out there, maybe bleeding, maybe crying out for help.She needed someone who wasn’t going to wait for orders. And it had to be me.One of the smaller cars sat parked near the back drive, probably left by a guard who wouldn’t notice it was gone until morning. I slipped inside, my hands trembling as I fumbled with the keys. For a second I hesitated, my breath catching.I could still go back. I could sneak upstairs, crawl into bed, and nobody would know.But then her face rose in my mind.Rain laughing, teasing me when I s
