Of Monsters And Men Empire Lyrics 소설 & 이야기

“Shh… I know you’re awake, my Empress. I know you’re afraid of me, and—I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything I did.” Erin swallowed hard. No, don’t you dare believe him. He’s a monster. He’s trying to trick you again. He’ll hurt you. He always hurts you. Don’t fall for his words—don’t you dare. “A simple sorry isn’t enough, my Empress. But let me prove it. Let me show you I regret everything.” He leaned closer, his words a whisper that grazed her ear. Once a monster, always a monster. Her thoughts screamed in warning. Don’t trust him, Erin. Don’t listen. Monsters like him never change. They feel no guilt, no mercy.

I hate how it doesn’t sound like a joke. Because that’s the problem with monsters— Sometimes they’re the only ones who see you clearly. And they use it to their advantage. I don't even know why I'm not screaming and crashing tf out right now.

And my breath hitched. What’s he talking about? I frowned, watching as he took a step forward. And recognition seems to hit me hard…. Fuck it!! “Don’t tell me—“ The thoughts quickly died in my head at his next words. “Where is my money?” “Jesus!” My subconscious screamed at me. “What have you done, Mira? You stole from the devil?” “Where is my goddamn MONEY!!!” He snarled and I almost flinched out but the iron grip of his men was tight for me to make a move.

Slowly, Seraphina turned. Her blood ran cold. Three men stood near the entrance. Blocking the exit. Each wore dark clothing. Each looked armed. And they weren't alone. More figures emerged from the shadows between the crates. Five. Seven. Ten. Surrounding them. Trapping them. The warehouse suddenly erupted with movement. A slow clap echoed through the darkness. One. Two. Three. The sound bounced off the walls. Mocking. Deliberate. A man stepped forward. Expensive suit.

I wanted to say I was sorry. But the moment I opened my mouth, I started laughing instead. My laughter was sharp and grating, like nails dragging across a chalkboard. The steel needles churned wildly in my brain. The pain overwhelmed me, and everything went black. The memory cut off. The comments exploded. [He's already this vicious at seven. If he's not born bad, then what is he?] [Just get rid of him already. People like this are nothing but trouble.] [Being a single mom is already hard enough, and she ends up with a kid like this. Even I feel bad watching it.]

On monitors. _No cages. No monsters. Just us._ *Crack.*

Nico’s hand finds mine again, rough and steady, pulling me through the dark. But inside, I’m not steady. Inside, I’m fire. And Emily’s last words echo in my mind—monsters I can’t fight. She’s wrong. I will, and I have to.

Their eyes met, and finally the silence broke between them. "What is it you want to say?" Mark asked gently, his gaze sincere, making Julie swallow hard as she remembered her current situation—single, with her partner in prison. If Liam truly was the perpetrator, then there was no hope for her future with him. The look that Mark had, which was directed at Julie, immediately made the girl forget that she promised Liam to fix everything. "Elizah keeps screaming hysterically whenever she hears or mentions the word 'monsters.' I take it that 'monsters' is plural, meaning more than one person committed this crime against her," Julie said, her voice calmer than before.

she shouted again, her voice rising above the stillness as fear clutched at her heart. But all that answered her was the wind’s mournful howl, pulling at her mind like an anchor dragging her down. The monster’s voice slithered back, filling the void with cruel laughter. “They abandoned you. They’re out there, fighting your battles, but you’re alone. You’ve always been alone.”

Thorny vines shot out of the woods and wrapped themselves around one of the monsters, trapping it but it wouldn't hold for long. The other two ran towards me with a speed I hadn't expected from monsters their size. Blasting them with my water magic didn't deter them, instead, it angered them further. They had almost gotten to me when the mist popped out six huge monsters, five of which immediately went into action. The winged monster didn't, instead, it trotted to me and nuzzled my cheek, making me smile. The Egran, which I had decided to name my monsters, fought with Karissa's scorpion-wolves with such speed that stunned the scorpion-wolves themselves at first.
