Lorraine's POV This was the first time I have ever seen myself like this. I looked awful. If I were to audition for the role of a witch in Harry Potter I'd get the role without raising my eyebrows high.I heard James' voice from the veranda outside. He was coming to my room. David didn't seem to like the way James treats me. It was written all over his face this morning when James moved me from the prison-like room to this beautiful heaven, decorated with green curtains.Immediately he walked in, I moved away from the mirror, not wanting him to see me staring at myself.He was wearing a red Hawaiian shirt, buried In a gray trouser and wore a baseball cap. Damn, He looked more handsome than he was earlier.He had curly hair and a perfect smile that complemented his body. His chest was broad, it'd have been too wide if not for his arm muscles that fitted perfectly. He walked to the window and spread them open, then he moved to the bed and sat at the edge. "Sorry, I felt the room ne
David walked into the town. He loved to roam about Lightwood in the daytime when almost everyone was carried away with their activities."The mayor's going to say something about the missing girls," a man said and David slowed to hear."We all know they'll be dead by now. Nobody returns after getting missing," the other man replied. David pushed himself through the crowd until he was finally standing where he would hear everything that the Mayor was saying.He fixed his eyes on the podium and let out an irritated smug.The mayor was assuring the crowd that the missing people would be found. And that he had put in special officers to find them.David grined. "This fucking bastard."What special officers is he talking about? Did he meant vampires? "The last time they were seen was at the party two days ago," a voiced echoed from the crowd. The voice spoke again, "Who knows, they might have been eaten by a wild animal. I heard they were seen walking back home through the woods," he su
Abigail"I'll kill you," I heard the voice echoed and I instantly knew that it was referring to Lorraine. But there was nothing I could do to help. If I go out, I'll get caught too and killed.I ran towards the existence of the forest, enduring the thorns that prickled my feet. Suddenly my legs got tangled in tree roots and I fell to the ground, hitting my head on a tree trunk. "Ouch!" I screamed in pains. Trying to crawl was as bad as the scream. the last thing I remembered was that the moon was glowing. it was a beautiful night.*********"Where am I?" I whimpered, struggling to frer my hands from the rope holding them together."You must be Abigail?" The Mayor said, appearing from the door. He moved closer to where I was."Please, don't kill me," I begged, shaking my head sideways, tears streaming down my eyes heavily. "Please."He smiled, ignoring me for a moment. Then he motioned to one of his men, "Get the tape." "Untie her."The guard did exacts he was told. He loosened the
"Lorraine," James called, walked into the room but he stopped immediately his eyes fell on her sleeping on the bed. She was wrapped in a blanket. James could not tell why he felt happy that she had decided to sleep.He grinned, darting his mind away from the thoughts clouding together. "How long have you been staring at me," Lorraine's voice brought him back to the present. His eyes dropped in embarrassment. "I... I just entered.""Well, I woke up about three minutes ago," Lorraine countered, making him more embarrassment. She scrambled out of bed, and stood up. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…" "I was joking," she giggled. "You can die standing if you like."He smiled. "No nightmares, right?" He liked the sound of her voice, the way her head tilted first one way then another as she talked. It made her dark hair move against her neck and bare shoulders."Woke up as I slept," she replied, yawning. "What would you like to know, Lorraine?"She sighed. "What's happening, James?"Exact
As James opened his mouth to speak, a smile curled out of his lips instead. He stood up from the bed and began to walk out of the room.Lorraine did not plan for any of this to happen. It has drawn on her that it wasn't James's fault that she got herself into this mess.It was all her fault, everything; all her fault. She sighed deeply.Lorraine's body suddenly fell into a pool of regret. At that moment, she realized that what she said to James was a mistake - a mistake that she hadn't intended to make.James walked his way out of the room. He wished he could just tell Lorraine lots of things she wanted to know. He didn't because he knew he would not be able to control himself. There were lots of things he should not tell her. However, it would be hard to explain all these without Sasha coming in.Lorraine ran and stood in his way. It was time to pull the girly button. She stretched her hands out, "I'm sorry, James." She was in tears by now, her voice was shaking.Although James had
James and Lorraine walked into a basement that was well decorated, with different kinds of sitting chairs. In the middle of the room, there was a not too big center table. As she and James entered, she saw five people sitting in a way that made it obvious they were in a formal meeting. "I'm sorry I'm late." James apologized as he was headed towards an empty chair to sit. He then motioned to Lorraine to also have a sit. "That's what you've been doing lately, Jimmy." A man with a laptop on his lap replied James. His tone showed he was not angry; rather, he spoke in a friendly and respectful way."What's been keeping you occupied, James?" Kayla asked glaring at Lorraine who was still standing."I've been trying to sort some things out lately and it almost skipped my mind that we were meeting today. Have a sit, Lorraine.""What is she doing here James?" David asked in a tone that carried total disapproval of the situation. James ignored the question and went ahead to introduce Lorraine t

The sun had set over the city and cast a warm golden glow over the square where a large crowd had gathered. The air was filled with murmurs as people waited for the mayor to appear. It was only in times of urgency that a gathering like this would be called. Newscasters, journalists, and TV presenters had arranged their equipment and were also waiting for the mayor.A podium had been set up at the center of the square where microphones were placed by different TV presenters, and a large banner reading "The Amazing City Of Lightwood '' hung behind the podium. Suddenly, a hush fell over the crowd as the mayor appeared, and walked elegantly to the podium, accompanied by his secretary and a young lady dressed in a formal black top tucked into a skirt. The mayor's aid – dressed in his usual unstructured blazer – followed them. With a serious expression on his face, the Mayor approached the podium and adjusted the main microphone, coughed into it to see if it was functional. He knew better
