Innocence: A Novels & Stories

Rael snapped. The man said, “Shut up? Fine. I just worry you’ll regret it. You know, there’s not much true sincerity left in this world. And he… he handed his heart to you, willingly. Are you really going to crush it like that?” He paused, then lowered his hand and turned slightly to look at Rael. “Rael, I know there are unforgivable things in this world. You’ve endured alone for years just to make it here. You want your revenge—I get that. If someone stabbed me once, I’d return it a hundredfold. But I’ll still say this: that man… he’s innocent. The sins of his father have nothing to do with him.”

“If you want me so badly, if I’m the prize, then take me! Just stop this relentless, terrifying assault. Stop killing innocent people who have done nothing to you!” “Innocent?” His voice sharpens, but only slightly, like a bored teacher correcting a minor error. “Tell me honestly child, do you, in your heart, truly believe that wolves are innocent creatures? How naive. If I’d had an honest choice in the matter, I certainly wouldn’t have chosen to be born one.”

Then he whispered to himself, “Definitely not a minor, but so innocent. What a sweet gift.” I frowned in confusion. I honestly had no idea what he meant. Wasn’t innocence a good thing? Wasn’t being pure the ideal thing, according to Mom? “I have something even better for you,” he whispered, a corny smirk forming on his lips. Before I could ask, he brought out a neatly wrapped roll and a lighter. “One puff, and all your pain, all your problems, will disappear.” “That’s crazy,” I muttered. “Isn’t that cigarette?” He walked toward me softly, held my hand, and led me to the bench. His eyes were warm and gentle.

There Lennox was holding a photo, the photo of a girl he ought to guard and protect with his life. "She didn't do anything," Zeus said. "She didn't know what her father was doing. She was innocent." "Innocent." Lennox said the word like it was a curse. "There is no innocence in our world. You know that better than anyone. You taught me that." "I taught you nothing. You were always like this." Lennox hit him again. And again. And again. Each blow landed with precision, targeting areas that would hurt the most without causing permanent damage. He wanted Zeus conscious for this. He wanted him aware of every moment.

She is dripping with lust and I slide into her with no obstruction. “Oh so we were just acting all innocent”. “What ?” She looks up at me with confusion. “You are not a virgin”. I put my mouth over her and stop her protest. It doesn’t matter. I have fucked plenty of untouched, especially back in the days; when it was a sport. It’s not the hole that holds the innocence but the mind. The mind that spices the blood with sexhormones and fear. There has to be something special about blood from an innocent heart.

She felt paralyzed by the enormity of what had happened, even though she knew deep down she was innocent. Just as she was sinking deeper into despair, she heard the screech of tires and looked up to see Xavier rushing toward her. Without a word, he enveloped her in a protective embrace, his presence grounding her in the midst of her turmoil. "Xavier," Anna whispered, her voice trembling, "please… you have to believe me. I didn’t do it. I would never… I know I might have lost your trust, but please, please believe me."

Her child-like attitude could be attributed to this as well. “She’s withdrawing,” Athena spoke into my head. “Uriel should have the poison out of her system soon, but with her being kept away from people for so long, I’m not sure how long it will take for her to get rid of her childlike nature.” “I don’t want it gone,” I smiled at my mate. “I love her how she is.” Petting Uriel’s cheek, she nuzzled against me. My mate was the Goddess of Innocence. I would expect her to have a lighthearted nature and be aloof to danger. Isn’t that where a ‘child-like innocence’ saying came from? Athena smiled, waving her hand before the wind surrounded her, sand picking up as it engulfed her until she was gon

Shivers ran down her spine. Her body shivered. Cold washed off her. Her knees weakened. “ Why? Why?” She snapped her head to Caleb. “ Why? Why would you lie about something like this, I never did anything wrong to you!” She shouted bitterly, anger blazing through her eyes. Caleb turned away, fist clenching hard against his thighs as his eyes flicked to the prince and Maribel. “ Tell them the truth! Tell them I'm innocent!” “ Shut up!” The prince’s voice thundered. “ I think I've given you enough grace, but you're just a disgusting maggot who's not ready to admit to her sins. Here's my sentence…”

She places a hand on my chest, right where my heart is pounding, and speaks with an intensity that hits me with every syllable. — What if the truth is more complex than you think? What if justice isn’t just what you see in your case files, in the cold facts and damning evidence? She takes a deep breath before continuing: — I am innocent, Daniel. Not just of the crime you think you’ve uncovered, but of being the woman you believe me to be. You think you know me, but you know nothing about me. Not yet.

My mother said looking at herself in the mirror. "I'm meeting up with her at The Vista club this weekend," I said adjusting my tie "Do you think she knows about what the family is really into?" She questions me "No she sounds too...innocent they must not want to break her too soon," I said "And I'm guessing you will?" She replied smirking evilly "Definitely besides this could work in our favor, the news only showed her in a mask probably not wanting to reveal her identity as of yet," I said
