" He is already inside! "I bluntly said, taking the pot off the stove. " Already inside huh? "My words seemed to stimulate him. He looked at me with playfulness in his eyes. As if encouraging me to tease him on. I couldn't help but giggle as I saw Ryan go and sit on the couch after that. Then he began looking at me with a mixture of curiosity and mischief. I decided to have a little fun with him, so I walked up to him and leaned in close, making sure he could smell my perfume, pretending to fetch an ingredient that I didn't even need in my cooking. "What's up, Ryan?" I asked, batting my eyelashes. "You seem a little tense."Ryan rolled his eyes. "Don't start with me, Sherry. I know you're up to something."I grinned. "Me? Up to something? Whatever do you mean?" I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger and leaned in even closer. "Let's just say I have a little something planned for tonight and I am so excited. "Ryan raised an eyebrow. "A little something with who?Did all th
Ryan drove like his car would tear the road open with its force. It wasn't just his vehicle that wad racing, but his mind was too. He couldn't shake off the eerie resemblance even Sherry's words had with that of his Sherizad. ***The timing was just after the attack on Tristan's pack. Sherizad was on her way to report to her father. But she stopped midway. She stopped in the middle of delivering such an important news because she found a stray kid on the forest bed, lying on the cold ground and bleeding from his mouth as if he had been poisoned. " Midnight, there is no time to waste. You go ahead and report back to father. "She instructed, bending over the boy and checking for his pulse." On it, " Midnight bade her farewell before disappearing, " But be careful. The woods are not safe any longer, even for werewolves. "Sherizad nodded. Sherizad leaned in closer to inspect the boy's mouth, her heightened sense of smell detecting the coppery scent of blood. She noticed somethin
" Damn it! Damn! " He dealt two hard blows on the steering wheel which made the horn scream twice with the rhythm of his blows. " Why is it happening all over again? No! No! It's not the same. It's not the same thing! "He bent his head over the steering wheel this time as it's loud horn yanked, making the noises in his head fade a little. Two loud thuds over his car roof, made him look up. He signed and frowned as Beck and Josh decended from either sides. " How many times did I ask you not to damage my toys. "The two jumped in through the windows and said, " We went after him. He could barely walk after taking all that Wolfsbane. "" Ah, that Chong! He offered him Aconite as if it was beer! Go on. Tell me you found it's lair! "He asked. Both shook their heads, as Beck began, " He robbed a begger and went straight inside a phone booth and dialed someone. "A person showed up. He was human. The two of them were talking in sign language so we couldn't really make a lot out of t
As the ashes on the floor began to rearrange themselves, Ryan, Beck, and Josh watched in awe and disbelief. The letters formed a font that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light, as if imbued with ancient magic.The letters were sharp and angular, with intricate curves and loops that seemed to flow like a river of silver. Each character was etched in a delicate script, with lines so thin they were almost imperceptible. The font seemed to be alive, pulsing with an energy that emanated from the very heart of the script.Beck gasped, "What language is this? I've never seen anything like it before."Ryan was equally amazed. "It's definitely not any language I've ever encountered. It looks like it's from another dimension or something."Josh, the most skeptical of the three, spoke up. "Are you sure it's not just some kind of trick? Maybe it's just a bunch of random symbols that look like a language."But as they watched, the font continued to transform, with the letters coalescing into
" You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend and live in with you?"Rose asked as surprised at Ryan's statement as if the sky was untrue. " Not really girlfriend but more like a sex buddy who also understands me and my needs. "Ryan answered with his usual nonchalant demeanor. Rose blinked for a few minutes, trying to process what was happening. " Ryan, let me get this straight. You want to have sex with me, did I get that correct? "Ryan nodded very reluctantly, " Yeah, it's not something new, why are you getting so worked up? "He counter questioned. " Precisely. You want me in your bed you know you can have me anytime, any day. I don't understand why you are asking me to move in with you at your place? "Her eyes literally spilt confusion. " I have my reasons. You don't need to know. I will let you off all your other duties for that time. I will compensate for them and you will also get an extra pay for your service at my place. Now tell me if you agree or not? I will get t
The warm sunlight from the window,woke me up the next morning. I was on my bed but I remembered that I was watching a movie with Bellow in the mini hall,next to Ryan's bedroom. Then how and when did I end up in my bed? A smile appeared on my face as I wondered if it was Ryan who put me there. It would be impossible for Bellow to lift me and the two other boys didn't even talk to me properly ever since their last scuffle regarding me, so I doubted if they would be touching me. I couldn't help feeling the excitement from the little something that Ryan and I had shared the night before. I couldn't wait to see him again. Without wasting any more time, I got out of bed and washed my face and tied my hair up. Then I headed towards Ryan's room. As I reached his door, I hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was too early to wake him up. But my eagerness got the best of me, and I knocked on the door.To my surprise, the door opened, and there was Rose, the stripper girl Ryan had brought h
I nervously walked into the dimly lit pawn shop, the smell of musty old items and cigarettes filling my nostrils. I approached the counter where K was sitting, his beady eyes staring at me."Hey, Sherry," he said, a hint of malice in his voice. "You are finally here!"I swallowed hard, trying to calm my nerves. His shop was the dirtiest place on earth that I had seen apart from the dump yard."Hi ,K, I'm here to talk to you. Tell me what was it that you wanted to hear? I said I will be giving you back your money by... ""Ah, Sherry, good to see you too. Don't worry about the money for now. Come and have a seat. "He cut me off before I could complete. I have to admit I didn't need to meet him per se. I could have easily handed his money back the next week and blocked his contact. But I was there. In a place that made me very very uncomfortable. Why was I there? Was it to take my mind off Ryan? Or was it some sort of a rebellion because he didn't want me to come to K? What ever I nee
I was in the bus that would lead me to the train stop.That hospital Ryan sent my father to was posh. It was huge.It was located on the hilly slopes of the outskirts.The bus was running pretty fast because the roads seemed a little deserted. Probably because of the holiday season, other wise it would have been filled with school goers and office goers. When I got out of the bus, it was a little past noon. I stopped by the road side stall and had my first meal of the day. As I did, I checked my phone for calls or messages. There was none, except for a few spams and junks in my inbox. I remembered the last time I had run off to meet Sarah. He had come looking so paranoid. Why then he not bothered at all at my sudden disappearance again? Shaaaa! Why was I being so lame? I put it back in my pocket and then went ahead to get the ticket for my train. It was running late by half an hour, but that wasn't at all a concern for me. I sat beside the window and admired the beautiful landsca
