Auren I slide my hands into my trench coat as I reach the riverbed. A shaky exhale leaves my lips as I watch the moonlight shimmering on the glassy water. "I'm here now. You can come out," I breathe out. The water ripples at the center. Vibrations shoot from the water, and straight to my core, making me all the more irritated. "Just come out simply, will ya?" I hiss through my teeth, rolling my eyes. A slender figure, slowly emerges from the water. Flowing black hair reaching her waist, and covering her eyes. A piece of shimmering fabric is wrapped around her chest, and hips, exposing her perfectly sculpted core. Her skin is almost as pale as the moon's. "Lyra," I stoop down and reach out for her hand. She gives it to me, and I gently kiss her knuckles. She is Lyra, a river nymph. "You rarely visit me, Auren. So I'm supposing whatever is behind your visit is something that has shaken you real bad," she smiles sweetly at me, placing her hands close to my feet.

Asha Two days has passed since Auren 'took a piece of my soul'. It has been hard to catch up since it literally took something away from me. I now walk around in a haze, almost knocking things over. It has been hard— I want myself back. I'm sitting sprawled on the couch, eating donuts, and watching a reality TV show. The doorbell rings, which catches my attention. I look in the direction of the door, "I thought he said he never had any visitors?" I place the box of donuts on the table, and force myself to stand up. I drag my feet towards the door. The visitor rings the doorbell again, more insistently this time. I knit my brows together in a frown. "Who the heck is it?" I look through the peephole in the door. Standing outside is Auren's brother, Zarven. I hesitate for a second in opening the door. All of a sudden, I feel this bad feeling engulf my chest the second I see him. "Who is it?" Auren's voice booms behind me. I nearly jump out of my skin

Asha I stretch my legs under the table, finally feeling alive. It's been days since I've had a stagnant routine. Auren's house, his excruciating missions, his house again. I've never really had the chance to breathe properly since I've been staying with him; that's why I literally had to beg him to come to this pretty cafe. The barista comes in with my cup of caramel macchiato, and places it on the table. "Yay, thank you so much," I smile at the pretty redhead. She smiles right back at me, "Sure. Enjoy!" I take the cup to my lips, and take a long sip. The warm, milky smoothness hits my mouth, caressing my tongue. The caramel adds this buttery sweetness that makes me want to plunge myself in more macchiatos. The espresso does kick in a little, making everything so balanced in my mouth. "Ahh," I moan, throwing my head back in pleasure. "I need to leave that place more often. This is wonderful," I mumble, taking more sips. "Care if I join you, miss?" A gruff voice inte

AshaAsha, my love. I stop what I'm doing as soon as I hear Lucas's voice. "Yeah?" Rheagar has struck again. He's made Auren think he's infiltrated his circle through you. I pinch my brows together, "What?" In all you do. When he comes, do not admit to meeting Rheagar in that cafe. Deny it at all costs. "Wh-what if he sees through my lies?" I feel my teeth clattering. He won't. Make sure he doesn't. I swallow the lump building in my throat. Acid rushes to my stomach, making me coil uncomfortably. "Give him your best puppy face. He might hate me but surely he wouldn't see past innocent puppy eyes." I pause, thinking about the suggestion. What if it doesn't work? Auren doesn't like me enough to look past puppy eyes. "It mightn't work," I shake my head, "He hates me too much for that," I sigh deeply. He thinks you're one naive little lady. Keep up that assumption; don't break it for him. "Ah I see—" "Asha!" An angry voice booms in my chest. I flinch, al

AshaI race back into the living room, my heart still pounding in my ears. I look around for any sign of Auren. My insides are trembling violently, hoping he's already gone to bed. I tiptoe through the dark room to the stairs, cautious of how my feet sound beneath me. I'm almost close to the stairs when— "And where are you coming from?" His deep voice vibrates through my bones. Fuck it. I bite my lips and slowly turn around to find him sitting on the couch, his legs spread out. "I—" I quickly find the words to say, "went out." "Why did you go out?" He presses on. "Just for fresh air," I straighten my back, slipping my hands into my hoodie pocket. In that moment, the lights come on. I almost jerk back in shock, but I try as much as possible to hold my ground. Auren stands up from the couch, advancing towards me menacingly, "You never go out for fresh air," he wraps his hand around my chin, "Since when did you start?" His eyes darken. "There's always a first time
