The words settled slowly, sinking deep into my heart I swallowed hard, clutching my jacket tighter. He then turned fully. His gaze locked onto mine, dark and unreadable. “Listen to me very carefully, little thief,” he growled,his voice dropping lower. “I do

I felt my heart burning with more hate for the beast standing in front of me—if that was even possible because I knew I had reached the maximum level of hate a human can have for another. "Thank you," the words burned my throat. Thank you? for what exactly? killing my father? making me miserable? destroying my carefully planned life and ambition? The irony was unbearable.

She stood up quickly and walked over to the small kitchen counter, her throat feeling like absolute sandpaper. She grabbed a large glass pitcher of water from the small refrigerator and poured it down her throat, practically drinking the entire contents in a desperate bid to quench her burning thirst.

Don't forget to drink the soup—taking care of your stomach is important." Her footsteps faded away toward the bedroom. I lifted the bowl and took a sip. My stomach abruptly clenched.

Not just to avoid death, but for something far more urgent. With everything that had happened, I'd momentarily forgotten about the clock ticking down inside me. But I was brutally reminded when that unnatural thirst returned with a vengeance. Perhaps I was being punished for my brief reprieve. Perhaps the hunger triggered it, or the pain awakened something dark inside me. Whatever the cause, the thirst was worse than ever; a depraved craving for something I knew would destroy me.

Author's p. o. v. Zoya started to unpack the things from the grocery bags slowly, her shivering hands not helping at all, her feet were killing her, and the amount of blood she lost was too much. She glanced at the clock that hung near the kitchen wall. It was time for her to take her medicine. Winching at the movement of her legs, she closed her eyes for a second as she stepped out of her slippers. The coldness of the floor greeted her as she sighed, pressing her feet on the floor, she started taking slow steps toward the room.
