KHLOEShe ran out of the room with tears in her eyes. Melvin's harsh words had really pierced her heart,but what could she do?.This is what fate had given her. She had to face it,whether she liked it or not.Down the staircase,Khloe heard Susan laugh and decided to go into Claire's room.She knocked on the door and opened it a little."Can I come in?""Oh! Khloe! Come in.""Hi Claire""Khloe,are you okay? You look distressed and sort of disturbed. Have you been crying?""No, no. I'm perfectly okay!""My GoodnessKhloe there's a blood stain on your sleeve!""Uhm…it's nothing. I annoyed Master Melvin,so he held a knife at me." Khloe said with tears threatening to fall from her eyes."Oh dear. I'm so sorry"I honestly do not know what I've ever done to Melvin. He's always harsh and uncouth to me.Claire,is there something I'm doing wrong?At this point, Khloe's voice was already breaking."Khloe you need to calm down""How can I be calm!? All of us know that circumstances brought me here
MELVINIf there was anything that bore Melvin more it certainly had to be more it certainly have to be the long meetings with the council at his conference room.He sat listening to them rap about absolutely nothing, diving into different topics without finishing another and he just wouldn't wait for them to end it.His heart still felt heavy from what had happened the previous day. What was he thinking about letting his guard down so that he hadn't suspected someone was in the room?Sure enough, he had caught the scent of someone in the air, but he had dismissed it as being that of the maid who had most probably left the room in a hurry after breaking his figurine.He sighed.It was not his fault he acted so rude and crude to everything around him. He had a lot eating him up himself, a lot of things eating him deep and that was the same thing that was debated upon at the meeting.The door opens. Christopher walked into the room late as usual looking so improper and unfit to attend a
KHLOEShe couldn't be more impressed by Susan's artistic prowess.She had seen her painting many times while she was still in the dungeon but this felt different and surreal.For some reasons she would say she was motivated by her, the way Susan lived her life carefree and poured her thoughts into art.She had said it on several occasions that she saw herself in Susan, but Susan had proven over and over that she was her own person . Someone with huge potential and in a way Khloe wanted that for herself tooSome pressure drifted away like a bird on her shoulder. It was as though her artwork was made right for her. It felt everything from relieving to overwhelming.It was surprising however that she painted her in a kind of closet without being there.A gaze at the picture did so much to her as it flickered deep in her mind, emanating so muchintimidating power.This was so much different from any she had seen or come across, it felt as though she was holding onto a fragment of someo
MELVINHIS Heart paused. He might be expecting anything else but certainly not this, certainly not the beauty standing in front of him.He ran his eyes down her curves and your contours and every other that screamed beauty and when he had an eye full of it he looked away but still couldn't hide how impressed he was."What are you all doing outside?" He asked again, this in a more subtle voice.It would be a lie to say that the energy he emitted wasn't noticed, leftovers of it was still in every part of him from his voice to the way his lips still trembled."We should be asking you that?" Claire said with a knowing smile."Well, I was just heading back from the meeting." Melvin said ."That still doesn't answer my question anyways." Melvin said . " What are you guys doing outside?" He asked for the third time."Well we are just chilling out under the warm weather and Susan is making a drawing of Khloe, we will head back soon." Claire said .Claire did it on purpose, bringing Khloe I
KHLOEHOW could we explain how her heart was fleeing when she was unaware of it herself. There was nothing that could describe this way was feeling.Anxiousness? most definitely no. This had nothing to do with mere words, it was more about feelings .It was more about feelings between two hearts beating fast at the same pace wanting the same thing, two hearts beating as one.Khloe placed her palm on her imaginary heart as she tried to catch her breath and most probably calm down her heart that was racing at an incredible speed.She was in a state of panic, a state of almost passing out from the way he had made her feel.He had done this without touching her, his presence had driven her heart a mile. What more would his touch do? Khloe thought to herself.She glanced back at where they were. It was too far to eavesdrop or use her super hearing skills but she was definitely sure she was the bone of contention .She had seen the way Melvin looked at her, she had seen the fire and desir
MELVINAs the evening steal across the sky it came with darkness and restlessness.It had started as a long night for him, one of those nights that came with his frequent nightmares. He had tossed and turned on his bed before finally getting upAll he wanted was a need to clear his head and not have sex like he frequently does, so he had walked into the garden where he had seen them earlier this afternoon, the garden that still had the memories of her.He stood in the darkness, his figure well hidden by the tall trees shading off the moonlight and crafting a perfect camouflage as he remained hidden.It was through this darkness that he had seen her walking out to the field, glancing over her shoulders as he walked but not noticing him.He had wanted to stop her but his heart didn't, he wondered why she was up at the same time as he was. Was she having the same problem of sleeping ?She glances back again this time right to where he was. At first he had thought she could see him but w
KHLOEFOR the second time in a day if she counted the early hours of the morning she walked away from him with her heart pounding.Her heart fluttered with belief, in a way she had expected the total worse from him when he had caught her but to her greatest shock he had been gentle.This life she had been born into might have been full of ups and downs but it was transparent.She had seen the darkness in her life and it had been the only candid version of her life that mattered and was more real.She knew the world by its darkness, she knew about both its darkness and its light but for her life even on its good days had its own shadow.She laid on her bed and drifted into sleep, the thought of that day flickering through her mind.As the sun shimmered through the window of the room, Khloe tossed and turned on her bed yawning at the bright new day.She woke up with a smile on her face as she tried to remember what might have brought the smile to her face. She remembered last night
KHLOETHEY both watched as the Prince walked with a pride befitting for his class, it seemed to them that he was there at all."What is he doing here?" Lissa whispered.A shrug. "I don't know, maybe he needs something.""Well he can easily ask and have it brought up to him."His gaze coasted from the scratches on the wooden kitchen table that had been made mostly by knives of different sizes to Lissa's brown eyes.He ran one of his clawed fingers across the table making a scratch on the table as her walked toward them, the kitchen filled with the scent of his cologne that sort of reminded them of cedar."Someone is looking at you…" Khloe said as they both snickered and pretended they hadn't noticed he was there to start with."Look away, he is coming." Khloe said.Christopher walked toward them and stopped a few meters from them and cleared his throat."Oh, Prince!" They chorused at the same time.He picks a glassware and pretends to study it closely before dropping it back again on
