And so it ensues... From that night onwards, it seemed like that bandage had been ripped off. We were together all the time. Earlier it felt like there was a dark cloud roaming over our heads but ever since that night it was gone. As if forgotten that it ever existed. The night had brought on sucha a bright morning that we just wanted to stay in that little bubble of ours. Always texting each other, talking to each other and sometimes even sneaking around places to engage in some hot and heavy sex.

Iris got slashed with a dagger laced with some kind of silver toxin!" I did not look back. My steps did not falter. I was on my way to a new chapter, a life filled with promise and joy.

"I need every single lock changed immediately." "Sure," he agreed without hesitation, pulling his phone from his pocket. He punched in a few buttons and walked down the hallway to give the instructions over the phone. When he returned, I was sitting on the sofa, still fuming. What kind of sick cosmic joke was this?
