I stared at him for the longest time, blinking only once or twice before I threw my head back and laughed; I convulsed into laughter at the nonsense he spilled from his mouth. His eyebrows knitted together, frowning at me as laughs fell from my lips in waves, before a perplexed look formed on his sculpted face.
As my erratic laugh died down, I took in a few breaths before asking, “So what? You’re Toothless?” I snickered, placing a hand on my mouth to stifle another round of laughs.
Confusion washed over his face, “I have teeth.” He muttered.
“Oh! Oh my God, you don’t know Toothless? The greatest dragon of all?” I asked him incredulously.
“The greatest dragon of all was my father.” He told me sternly, as if it was something he truly believed.
I scoffed, “Ok stop!” I shook my head at him, “I shouldn’t even find this entertaining, you need help! There isn’t
"I told you, she possesses the element of fire." His voice finally reached my ears as I shut away all emotions."Possesses?" I questioned, out loud. My mind had turned in a hazy storm of confusion and questions. I didn't know if I spoke them out loud, or not.Tristan turned to me again, letting his seafoam eyes of oceanic wilderness gaze deeply into mine, "Yes." He said so simply.So simply, it struck a whip of pain to land across my chest, "Yes?!" I asked, grittingmy teeth, "That's it?! Yes? You rip me away from my company! My life! And all you got to say is a simple 'yes'?!" I snapped, glaring at him.I balled my hands into fists, digging my nails into my palms.His eyes suddenly snapped down to them, before looking up at me once again, "I never ripped you away from your life. What was I supposed to do? Leave you there after you fainted from exhaustion?!" He asked, letting his voice raise above many de
TW: Graphic vi/len/e (o,c) ahead in this chapter- sh//ting (o,o)I gaped, stepping out into the porch, trying to find some path that led away from this house. But the woods surrounded from one end to another, and endless darkness ahead due to the thick woods. The house was caged, hidden within the woods.“Why would you leave?” An incredulous voice asked from behind, once again I did not bother to look which of the two men it was.“I have a life to get back to. My company needs me.” I didn’t know why I even bothered to explain to these men. I had my own life to lead. I had the right to make my own decisions, I refuse to stay here imprisoned by this ridiculous nonsense. I had one mission, and one mission alone. I wasn’t going to put everything I loved in danger, even for the man that camefrom mydreams.The woods eventually stop into an old
Graphic vi/l/nce (o,e) ahead in this chapter- sh//ting (o, o), k/l/ing (i,l) etc."H-How..?" I frowned, both shocked and disgustingly revived at seeing a familiar face, because it unfortunately had to be Antonio Venturi's face."It pains me to hurt you like this." He said, brushing a hand dangerously close to the arrow, "But certain things must be done, sweet Jisoo." He looked down, somewhat trying to hide the smirk appearing on his face.My ears heard his words as they finally cleared out, letting me hear the cries of pain and angry shouts that surrounded the woods. The cries, sounds of swords and arrows shooting and cutting through the air dominated over the once silent woods.As much as I wanted to look at their direction, I fought the urge and glared straight into the Venturi's dark eyes, "How are you here, Venturi?""There're secrets buried in every family, sweet Jisoo." His smirk
“Is that-” I was about to ask a question, but the pain that shot through my leg, cutmy words off with a scream. Tears invaded, stinging my eyes, but I held them back.A strangled gasp escaped my lips as I looked up at Austin, who was throwing away the arrow that was once piercedthrough my flesh, “You little, son of a-”“You’re welcome.” He rolled his eyes, before an arrogant smirk decorated his lips.“Who gave you permission-?”But once again, I was cut off and I felt a twitch of an angry spark at the disrespect he gave me, “I was helping. It could have been poisoned.” He said, narrowing his eyes on the weapon he had discarded.“I’ll sue you, if you just caused more damage.” I threatened him, well knowing if he wanted to, he can rip me apart with whatever supernatural strength he possessed.He stared at me for a second or two, perhaps
My eyes widened in realisation, “Antonio Venturi?”I gulped, thinking how stupidly I had forgotten about the Venturi. Perhaps the graphic violence Alec and Austin displayed, might have shocked me more than I thought.“Is that his name?” Alec frowned.“How do you know his name?” Austin was quick to ask, the arrogant smirk that once decorated his lips and playful eyes werelong gone as he narrowed his eyes at me.I let out a shaky breath, “I knew him... He’s sort of a big name in business too.” I frowned, not being able to put the pieces together, “Why is he here?” I suddenly asked them.Alec and Austin exchanged glances, before Alec asked, “How close are you with him?”I glared at Alec, Antonio Venturi was a name I hated with such passion, “We are not close, at all!” I gritted.“How are we supposed to believe you?” Aus
Groaning against the hues of the bright sunlight, I opened my eyes, blinking away the tears that formed. Once the blurriness cleared away, I found myself staring up at the ceiling. My mind seemed to be in a peaceful state of no thoughts and worries, simply blank, letting me enjoy the tranquility around me.But I always did the mistake of wondering, thinking, letting myself remember what had happened. I sighed as everything came forward, to the front of my mind, and the once peaceful state, now turned into a torment and pain.And as a foolish naïve little girl, I wished for it to be a dream. I wished to be away from this world, and back home. The numbing pain that ran through my leg only brought reality to crash down on me, leaving meno room forwishing.. just a false hope.As much as I wanted to leave this at once, I knew I have gotten myself deep into whatever voodoo nonsense this was. And if that Venturi was part of it, I had no choice but to f
“You could have helped.” I muttered, registering in Alec’s words as sat myself on one of the many stools around the small island of the modernised kitchen. Deep gold decorated around sharp and pure whites, bringing a gentle touch of elegance. Now, this was my sort of style…“You seemed to have been doing fine on your own.” Austin spoke to me. I tore my eyes away from the kitchen’s beauty and looked at him. His infamous arrogant smirk decorated on his lips, making me almost close my eyes in relief, and therefore realising, I have gotten used to the somewhat company they have given me so far.. or the humiliation. Austin’s smirk was a sign of him not having an angry urge to throw me over his shoulder, and it pleased me happily.But his words made me roll my eyes, “Thanks.” I muttered, sarcasm dripping on each letter of the word.He sighed looking over at Alec, their eyes moved, flickered
I watched their surprised faces, patiently waiting for one of them to speak, “Stopping him is only half the job.” But it was a deep rumbling, appealing voice that my ears heard. I gulped down the yoghurt in my mouth, trying not to shiver pleasurably under the deep voice as I fought the urge to look behind me. I wanted to lock my eyes with that unique colour, but they would pull me into its depths, were the green glints hid.I cleared my throat taking another spoonful, “What more?” I asked.“Don’t talk with your mouth full.” Alec scolded me, a deep scowl in place. I rolled my eyes at him, if only he knew the desires that Tristan’s voice alone brought me.. Not that I would tell him! I heard Tristan’s feet shifting, stepping closer and closer towards me from behind, and with each step my heart seemed to have racedtwice the speed, rushing the blood through my veins.I almost snapped my eyes closed as
