[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]When I entered the bathroom, Rhys was in the bathtub, staring at the ceiling. He looked deep in thought. My face lit up as I realized how cute he was. I slowly undressed and approached him, and he reeled his head to me. My cheeks rose as he ran his gaze over my naked body, and a look of lust flashed in his eyes, lingering as he met my gaze.I felt wanted. "Mind if I join?"I took his lack of response as a yes and slipped into the bathtub, the water warm but his body warmer as I pressed my back against his naked front and tried not to blush as his cock poked my back. "Are you okay?" I spoke in hushed tones. He softly nodded. "Are you okay?" I beamed. "With you here, I have never felt better. Can you give me a shoulder massage?" I asked, and a second later, his hands were on my shoulders, rubbing the tense muscles. I let myself be swayed by his touches. "Rhys, do you think we can really overcome this? What if you get hurt trying so hard to keep me alive? Am
(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and loathed what you saw…I did, I detested my reflection.The voices were gone and the yearning to kill was also gone but the memories of those sins and the guilt remained incessant, leaving a sour taste on my tongue and making my insides wrench. I looked at the mirror and I wanted to vomit. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair that had grown out and skimmed against my shoulders.I placed my hands on the skin and dropped my gaze on the scissors and razor, each with a different purpose.I grabbed the scissors and grabbed a few locks of hair on my shoulders and chopped them off. I felt nothing as my hair hit the floor beside my feet. I dropped the scissors and picked up the razor. I held it in front of me and suddenly, his face was there; that child.How did he feel? Would I feel it too? I brought the razor to my right wrist and cut deep, I didn't flinch or hiss in pain because I felt nothing. The razor dropped
[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]Rhys was gone and I was alone. I stared at the bracelet around my wrist and fondled it, it was pretty and It matched my skin. Gold, just like his eyes."It's not that pretty."I smirked at the voice but didn't lift my head. I knew he had been there for a while, watching me with his back resting against the wall."I say not. It's really pretty." I finally lifted my head toward Xavier, he smirked, pushed himself off, and walked toward me on the bed. "Isn't it exhausting with all this acting? Even I feel fatigued from just watching." Acting? The word reverberated in my head and I let out a laugh as I realized that was what I'd been doing for the past few days; acting. "I'm good, aren't I? I'm the best you can ever find. He doesn't even suspect a thing. If I didn't know better, I would have gotten misled."He reached out and clasped my face and leaned his face close to mine. "I think you are more than good but we are running out of time. Rhys might saunter at a
[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]Have you ever felt like the world was falling at your feet and your heart had gashed out of your chest and granulated at your feet—that was how I felt as my extensive eyes gawked at the form of Rhys lying on the floor with blood pooling around him and he wasn't moving or breathing.I looked at Xavier, the bastard was sneering as he let go of Rhys' wings and before my eyes, they turned into golden dust before fading away into the darkness. "Y-y-you-" I stuttered while striding closer and when I was close enough, I plowed him hard on the chest. "YOU FUCKING KILLED HIM!!" I hollered at the top of my lungs, tears welled up in my eyes and the compression on my heart inflated. I felt like I would soon be stifling out blood at the coercion on my chest. Xavier sizzled like a snake, his eyes glinting red. I hissed back and plowed him again and instantly scurried to Rhys' side, gathering in my arms. His eyes were closed but his chest was still rising and falling."He'
[KAI'S POINT OF VIEW]I stood under the pouring rain with an umbrella over my head, I gazed at the gravestones in front of me. My parents. Or the people that took me in and gave me everything and left me behind before I could truly thank them. I peeked at the sky and realized I was alone…so alone and lost. I didn't know who to run to, where to go, and how to live.Should I continue to study and live in a house that wasn't mine? Should I seek Rhory and Keir, it seemed they were telling the truth. I feel so lost."Mom, Dad, I hope you've united with your son. I hope you are at peace. Thank you for everything. I will take care of everything you left behind." I spoke out my final words to the grave and then I turned to leave but abruptly halted at the figure standing in front of me.Outfitted in golden armor, and silver hair that matched his silver eyes. He was pretty and didn't belong in a cemetery. "I finally found you." He asserted and I couldn't help but look behind me but there w
{KAI'S POINT OF VIEW}I felt like I was floating among the stars in outer space, but my eyes were open as I stared at the scenes flashing before my eyes, each one containing Ralph and me. Each scene demonstrated how foolish I was to have believed him when he told me he loved me."You want my wings so bad; how about I rip them out instead?" Kai, the golden guardian, screamed before ripping off his wings and plummeting into an infinite abyss. I felt every pain he felt, and my heart clenched so tightly that it felt like it was about to burst.I was fooled as a golden guardian, lied to, and deceived as a human. He erased my memories over and over, even after I told him I would never forgive him. As a human and as a golden guardian, he had only brought me misfortune, so why should I still love him? What was it he wanted with me?"Now you know we don't need him."A tear spewed down my cheek, and I nodded in agreement with the voice—in agreement with myself."As a golden guardian, he caused
[RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW]"I'm sorry," I muttered weakly, looking into his eyes, hoping he would understand. "Perhaps you forget we are still here." Xavier snorted. Cameron's gaze was on Kai when I turned around, and he had a cunning look in his eyes and a smirk on his lips. I shielded Kai's eyes from his evil gaze, but I was gently pushed aside. "I'm not some damsel in distress. I don't need you to protect me. I can take him out myself." He glared.I couldn't help the tiny smile that occupied my lips as he pointed his sword at Cameron and Xavier. "Now, who wants a taste of my sword first?" I stood beside him. He gave me a side-eye. "After them, you're next." He gritted, and I would gladly accept his blade."What makes you think you are a match for me?" Cameron smirked. "Let’s not make this difficult for you, darling; give me what I want, and you can sleep peacefully without worrying about whether you are a human or a golden guardian. You can come to me willingly, or I will come to
[RHYS' POINT OF VIEW]There were only a few enchanted stones in this world that could take the life of someone as powerful as my father, and one of them was the forbidden crystal.It was not easy to obtain one, and for a demon, obtaining one meant suffering the ultimate punishment of losing half his life span. It was only a matter of time before I died without my wings or a source of power to keep me alive, but even if I only had a few hours to live, Father was coming with me. Getting to the cemetery on foot was a difficult task since I normally use my wings or vanish to get to my destination. I grasped the stone in my hand despite the hideous mark it'd left on my palm from taking it from its resting place. The flashes of light and thunder ahead of me told me there was a battle going on; I walked faster.When I arrived at the scene, however, I abruptly paused on my feet just in time as Ralph lost his wings and Kai unleashed a powerful blast that destroyed everything in close range.
