Boundaries

Walking Kenny back home we speak about what I plan to do about Damien which isn’t much other than the fact that he will be staying in my house for the time being. She tells me to be careful before she goes inside her house. My mind is restless the way back. How will I go about this? This has to work somehow. Blowing out my breath I open the door and close it softly behind me. The living room is empty as I enter it. Shrugging to myself I go to my room to wash up and deep clean my room. He must’ve go to check out his room so I don’t bother looking for him. I close the door behind me and start to take off my shirt when my door opens.” There’s not any soap on my bathroom can I us-“ Damien stops mid sentence and he finally notices I was about to undress. “Get the fuck out!”I tell him and he rushes out. I go to lock my door though I’ve never had to use it before. For fucks sake’s he’s never heard of knocking? After I finished cleaning my room then myself I head to the kit

Underworld

Damien’s POV Ken stands by the front door looking at me up and down. She might be still suspicious of me but she’s taken this demon thing pretty well. She’s tough.”You randomly show up, move in and now you’re taking her back to ..hell.” She says the word as though it isn’t a real thing. Ken is accuses me. I stand offended. ”I didn’t just ‘randomly’ showed up” I clarify. “I was assigned to catch her and bring her back home.” She raises her eyebrows at me. Yea this isn’t helping my case. I rub the back of my head trying to think of something to say when Chyne comes down the stairs with a book bag. Ken goes to her and whispers. “Are you sure about this. Going back there with him?.” “Shh, he can hear us. It’ll be fine.” Chyne hugs her friend awkwardly and pats her shoulders. It seems she isn’t found of affection. Before I can wonder what her childhood must’ve been like she nods at me. ” Ready?”. “You can still change your mind you know,” Giving her a look that

Sensation

Moving away from Damien I stand taller. The lingering chills of the forest stick to me like a second skin. I stop myself from wanting to shiver. I’ve ever knew this place was here. My nerves attack my stomach and I’m glad I chose not to eat anything this morning. I look at up Damien.”Well? Get on with it.” I don’t see anyone in this place yet I keep his warning that something is wrong in the back of my head. When I go to face the stone that’s when I see him. I talk figure with broad shoulders. A long black cloak that reaches his knees. His hair is slick back without a strand out of place. My heart races as I get a good look at his face. I freeze. His eyes are already on me. Dark and menacing. Grey eyes with red streaks. I shift my eyes to get a better look. One red like going completely across and 3 vertical lines crossing over the first. All 3 irises blink at me and I look away flushed. Why am I so hot all of sudden. “What have we here?” The unknown male speaks a

Away

We all stand in the room in tense silence. “So are we just going to stand here, or am I going to be brought to my cell?” I look between the males, but they’re locked in their own staring contest. Damien’s fuming; the other is completely at ease. What’s with these two? “Hello?” I try again, and what Damien says next has my stomach dropping.“He’s been watching us for a while now. Seems like the King didn’t trust my abilities to bring you back.” His eyes never leave the other male. The male says, “And it seems he was right.” Right. If he’s been watching us, he knows we’ve been living together. Great. So much for the plan. The other male shakes his head mockingly, like he’s saying very bad job, guys. It’s frustrating. “Unfortunately for me, the King is away, so you won’t be receiving your punishment just yet.” His gaze flicks back to Damien. I look up at Damien, guilt twisting in my chest, he chose not to bring me back and here I was dragging him to the exact place he’s be

Hopeless

When I get outside, Kennedy’s emotionless face flashes through my mind. The urge to laugh bubbles up, sharp and inappropriate. I shove it down and put one foot in front of the other. I know better than to show emotion here. The bear-paw boots I brought from home do little to steady me. Every step slips on jagged stone. There’s literally no sane explanation for why there are so many shitty rocks everywhere. The irritation simmers, fast and hot. Fuck. This place is messing with my head. My emotions are everywhere—too loud, too close to the surface. I want to scratch something. Anything. I force myself to breathe. Deep. Controlled. It takes effort, but I manage to cage the turbulence clawing inside me. After half an hour of walking—yes, walking, everywhere, because of course—something shifts. The silence starts to empty my mind, and I recognize the danger in that. I shake my head lightly, but my chest tightens anyway, pressure blooming for no goddamn reason. I ground myself th

People

I wake up coughing, dust coating my throat. I blink and take in my surroundings. I’m seated on the floor by the window. I must have fallen asleep there—thinking about Race. I grimace and brush myself off. I need to keep my distance from him. Damien doesn’t seem too fond of him, and if we’re going to be allies, I’ll side with Damien… for now. It’s early, and my loyalty is to myself alone. There’s still something Damien isn’t telling me. Until I know everything—inside and out—I keep my guard up. My power hums beneath my skin, stronger now. I use it to push the dust out through the windows and doors, cleansing the house in one smooth sweep. The air clears. The place feels lighter. I’ll need new bedsheets. Pillows. Basic necessities. I’d always like to stay to myself here as much as possible. Going to the village will give me a chance to think over everything that has happened. The walk to the village is long, but with my body is finally back in place, it feels more like a st

unbelievable

Damien’s POV The heat hits first. Not the comforting kind—the kind that crawls under my skin, restless, wrong. I look up from the book in front of me and shot to my feet. She’s hurt. The thought slams into me with enough force to crack stone. I sprint out the room. The corridors at Races place blur as I cut through them, steam bleeding off my skin in sharp bursts. Soldiers scatter. Someone tries to speak to me. I don’t slow. By the time I reach Race from teleporting the first thing I pick up is the smell of burned magic, it’s thick in the air. Holy fire. My chest tightens. Race stands near the boulders, calm as ever, like the ground didn’t just witness a slaughter. He’s cradling her against him—too close, too familiar. Her body is limp, head tipped back, dried blood at her jaw. Something in me snaps. “What did you do?” My voice isn’t loud, but the ground beneath my feet hisses. Race looks up slowly. Annoyed. “Saved her.” I’m in front of him before I realize I’ve moved. H

I’ll see you later

*Flash back to when they were entering the portal to the underworld.* — Chyne watches Race as she enters the portal. And I watch her. Her head disappears and I face him. “How did u find me?” “Let’s skip the pleasantries.” Calm and collected. The mask he always wore. This should be interesting. I eye him expectingly. “While you were playing .. house,” He pauses and gives me a look. The hairs on my arms stand under my clothes and I fight the urge to shove him. Has he been watching Chyne as well? Or just me? And for how long. “Ive been busy.. the king seems to have made himself disappear.” He eyes me. As if he might catch something on my face. This is news to me but I won’t show my surprise. “Didn’t know you were into watching.” I say with indifference, placing my hands in my pocket. “Nothing worth staying up for.” He smirks when my skins starts to smoke of its own. Asshole. “Made himself disappear?” I repeat changing the subject looking down the portal. What is

Citrus

I wake to the smell of citrus and smoke. For a moment, I think I’m still dreaming. My body is warm. Too warm. The air feels heavy, charged, like something has already happened and I missed it. When I finally open my eyes, I know instantly. This isn’t my bed. I push myself up slowly, my pulse kicking harder with each second as my gaze drags across the room. Dark walls. Minimal light. Shadows clinging to the corners. Books littering the floor. Race’s room. The realization settles in my chest like a held breath. I run my hands through his sheets, grounding myself in the sensation. Silk-smooth. Cool. Clean. Everything here is black and gray, sharp and intentional. Masculine. Him. I check myself quickly and release a quiet sigh when I see I’m still dressed in the same clothes as last night. At least he didn’t cross that line. The hair on my arms lifts anyway. I feel him before I hear him. “Didn’t know what you’d do to me if I changed you out of those clothes.” My head snaps le

Gone

I stand by the door. “What?” Race doesn’t look at me at first. His gaze is fixed past my shoulder, toward the bathroom. “Your shower,” he says. “You used half my body wash.” I release a slow breath. Fuck. For a second, I thought— “Oh.” I force a shrug. “Had to wash the dirt and blood off from the fight.” I walk over to the door. “Thanks for helping me,” I say, already stepping away. “I’ll be leaving now.” The air changes and he’s in front of me before I can blink. “You aren’t leaving.” The finality in his tone snaps something ugly in my chest. A statement carved in stone. My spine stiffens. “Move.” He doesn’t. He doesn’t say anything. I snap, temper flaring. “You think you own me now?” I reach for the handle. Pain flashes—sharp and sudden—as he grips my wrist and twists just enough to remind me how easily he could break it. I suck in a breath but I don’t cry out. “Don’t,” I say voice low and shaking with fury. “Fucking. Touch. Me.” His grip tighte
