He made it seem as if nobody would be able to find me and instead somebody broke in and sprayed god knows what on the walls. He won't even let me see. He's done everything in his power to keep me upstairs. He doesn't know I know, I'm not sure how I would tell him. But I live here too. I don't understand why he would be so secrative about this. It affects me more than him, he's barely here. Just a few days ago he barely had time to sleep and now he's sprining this holiday on me. I feel like there's more to worry about than I think, but

"Your brother, i don't know what he wants from that girl but can you imagine the fear she must be feeling around him. Can he heal her trauma... Will he take the responsibility if she takes her life." Alexander stood there stunned as he heard reality from his father. "Fear can damage someone to the core... Even now I see that fear in Anamika's eyes. Whenever I get angry, she fears me... May be she see those monsters in me, after all i am mafia too... I still fear that Anamika will leave me like my sister... She still can't sleep without me even after so many years, she has insomnia. I have seen her waking up with nightmares... Do you have any idea how hard it is to see my love in that conditi

I could feel the weight of everything I had been holding back, the frustration, the fear, the guilt. “I didn’t mean to make it seem like I thought you’d betray Mom,” I added quickly, my voice barely a whisper. “I was just scared. I didn’t know what to think anymore.” I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was coming. From that day onwards, I'd been scared to death like never before, that if something happens to Aurora next, I might not survive it either. I was only seventeen, and I didn’t want to die. It felt like the weight of the world was pressing down on me, and no matter how hard I tried to push it away, the fear kept creeping back. I couldn’t even sleep without thinking about

“ You know and you don’t feel…scared? Or…nervous? ” She leans back, her eyes scanning me as if she is trying to peel back my skin and see what’s under. I shift, my gaze flickering towards the open door. “ The age teaches you many lessons. ” She says, her voice low. “ one of those lessons is more important than the others. Fear does nothing. The nervousness you want to see? It does nothing. Only trying does. My grandson and the rest of the Kings are trying their best. And when the Lycan Kings truly try their best, they don’t fail. Fearing any other outcome will be a betrayal of their determination. Don’t betray them. Have some faith. ”

“Cause she’s…Auri?” He shook his head and put a hand on my shoulder. “Exactly. She’s Auri…and that made her fear all the more. Imagine the secrets she’s kept, the pain she’s hid, the actions she’s had to take. You think she didn’t fear with every glance over her shoulder? Every creak in her house? Every time her kids cried? Thinking that were they here for her? Were they here for them? She was the most afraid out of all of us, Zeke.” His hand squeezed a little tighter. “Because she should have been. We all should fear a little more. It’s what keeps us sharp and what prevents us from make the same mistakes as before.” “Fear shouldn’t define us, Hector.”

"That is why when we look at the dark and claim we see ghosts, it might just be the product of the human mind, right? Our brain manipulates images through fear." The girl jumped off the wall in front of him before grinning. She tiptoed before messing up with his hair. "Funny how you know such things and still get scared of the supernatural." Sane pouted.

Her heart was racing, and the adrenaline rush she was currently experiencing had her fight-or-flight instincts trying to take her over completely.

She really was that afraid of me.

They could smell it, taste it in the air, track it across continents. The first year, we lost half the population. Not to the creatures' teeth—to the panic. People ran, and the creatures followed. Fear was a beacon. The calm, the brave, the ones who could still think—they survived. The rest became meat. That's how the anthem started. Fear is a creature's instinct; courage is humanity's anthem.
