Jeremy sat across from me at the round kitchen table, both of us just randomly staring into space it seemed. Our steaming cups of coffee just sitting in front of us on the table , the aroma seeming thicker than it should have.
The awkward silence between us seemed way off and I couldn’t tell if it was because of the contents on the flash drive which was just lying in the middle of the round table at present almost taunting us or the white elephant in the room, finally Jeremy spoke up as he cleared his throat. Looking up at me he sighed,
“So…”
“So-” I retorted. Sighing he sat up and rubbed the back of his head as he tried his best to find the words,
“Look, I’m not going to beat around the bush here. I can’t get that image of you and that- thing out of my head,” my eyes narrowed slightly at his words but I quickly composed myself. Having him refer to Rafe as a thing bothered me more than it should have,
“Look Jeremy, I don’t know what y
I’ve been sitting huddled up on my couch in front of the television for what felt like hours just staring at the screen as images flickered across it, not really focusing on what they were saying anymore yet I couldn’t look away either. I sat frozen, numb at the image I was seeing on the news channel. My photo was plastered all over CNN and all I could do was sit there and stare at my F******k profile pic from five years ago when I was like sixteen, I was wearing a bikini top sunglasses and a geeky smile plastered all over my face. Besides being mortified at the fact that I never got around at removing that picture from my profile, what bothered me more was the heading. ENEMY OF THE WORLD… The reporter was blabbing on and on about if someone knows the whereabouts of this woman and anyone associated with her they should contact the FBI directly, and then gave a number. The information she shared was of where I worked, of all the journaling I’ve done in the past, when
Have you ever been in a situation where you wished that it was just some stupid nightmare, and that any moment you would wake up. Your body would find its defense mechanism and shake you from that moment and into the consciousness of reality, before it was too late and you toppled over to the other side dying a horrible death while still fast a sleep? Yeah well that was not this, I wished it was, I really did will all the willpower deep within me. But I knew that the will to wish this into nothing more than my subconscious messing with me would be daft, this was really happening. I was a wanted woman, my photo plastered all over every goddam news channel across the globe. All for a crime I hadn’t committed, I mean yes I had a shit load of information and yes the creations had come after me in an effort to silence me, and destroy the information I had on them. Somehow I knew this went way deeper than just their fear of exposure, I mean come on. But who was I kid
My eyes fluttered open and I found myself lying flat on my back on the couch, feeling slightly disorientated I groaned as I tried to pull my hand up to my head but it was holding on to something, or someone… My eyes darted down and I almost jumped back when I was met with those blue orbs that were Rafe’s eyes, he was sitting beside me on the floor, just holding my hand and staring at me with a look on his face, adoration- wait, could the creations feel adoration? Trying to think right now only made my head spin even more. In a croaky voice I tried to speak, “What happened?” “You fainted,” He replied with an impassive expression on his face. “Oh, wow- that’s weird,” I said my brows furrowed, “Not really,” He smirked, “I think my kiss was maybe just- too much for you to handle,” scoffing I rolled my eyes at him, “Seriously, ranking ourselves pretty high now don’t you think,” the fact that he assumed that because of his kiss I had fainted
I woke up to the sudden sound of my cellphone ringing, jerking me right out of my slumber as I jumped into a seated position, my brows furrowed as I tried to gather my bearings. I sat looking down at the white bed sheet that was wrapped around my body, I was still on the floor in the lounge, had I imagined everything between Rafe and me? Pulling the sheet away from my body ever so slightly it revealed that I was indeed completely naked, huh? So okay that was true but where the heck was Rafe? Suddenly the phone began ringing again and I jumped as my eyes scanned across the room to the coffee table, I had switched my phone off earlier, I remembered doing that because of everything that had happened. So as quick as I can, I found myself up on my feet half falling over the sheet as I fumbled towards the small coffee table, grabbing my phone as I scowled at the number, I didn’t recognize it at all. Slowly bringing it towards my ear I pressed the receiver as I shakily answered “H-
Amelia We drove for what felt like hours, I didn’t exactly know where we were going and I didn’t ask. I merely sat back with my feet drawn up so I could hug my knees as I rested my head against the headrest, I stared out into nothing but darkness and even though I could see absolutely nothing but shadows, it soothed me to know that Rafe was there. He was a creation and it shouldn’t have made me feel this way, it shouldn’t have made me feel calm inside, yet it did. Why was that? I thought I understood the ways of what the creations represented, but somehow I was coming to realize that I didn’t have a clue. Why did Rafe care about me if their kind was nothing more than sadistic monsters, had I been wrong about them all this time, or was that just Rafe… had something shifted inside of him and if so, what was it that made him shift into someone who cared about a mere human, and why? I must have drifted off, bec
I woke up to find Rafe fast asleep, spooning me as his arms were wrapped around me, he held me tightly but not to the point of it being uncomfortable, it felt really good to have him this way.But my mind was restless as I started wondering about what he had said about it being inside of me, what had he meant by that, he had quickly recovered himself when I had asked and my journalist brain was now in overdrive.I also needed to find out what happened to Jeremy, my phone was switched off and I knew I shouldn’t switch it on as that would just be like sticking a tracking device to my back. But it was the only way of communicating with him, I felt anxious about his safety, I kept telling myself that he was fine, he had to be fine, but how could I be sure of anything right now.And I wondered for a brief moment if I should just ask Rafe to help me find Jeremy, but would he, that was a question that concerned me.Rafe wanted to save me, save me fro
I bolted up out of bed screaming as I came to stand up straight beside the bed, within a second Rafe was beside me with his arms around me pulling me to him.I was pushing against him as I whimpered, my breathing iritic in the moment of utter confusion and despair. I had seen them in my dreams, no- it was a nightmare, they were doing unthinkable things to humans, monstrous things as they destroyed and plummeted our very existence into a state of Armageddon.The things I saw just a few moments ago still haunting and tormenting me as I suddenly pushed hard against Rafe’s form, tears falling from my eyes as I began to sob.He merely stood there, his jaw pulled taught and his brows knitted together, not trying to come near me in any way. Could he sense what I had seen, did he know the horrors that had been and was yet to come.I merely stood there with my hands fisted at my side as I shook my head in disbelief, I couldn’t get the images I had seen
Amelia I sat against the greenest most lushest grass just staring at the water for the longest time without saying a word, my hand held onto Rafe’s as our fingers intertwined together. His warmth radiating into me seemed warmer than the glow of the sun, it soothed me and kept me rooted in this one spot, because I belonged with him, I had seen it and now all I needed answers to was the reason why. “So I’m a star?” I asked him my voice sounding slightly confused. Turning to face me a small smile escaped his lips, “Yes you are,” He answered softly as he kept his eyes on me, and the way that he was looking at me right now was so much different than before. It was the look of a man who remembered who he was and why his existence mattered, and as I turned my face so our eyes could meet I saw it there, it was something so incredibly deep and raw, passionate and surreal. The adoration in the blue orbs I was looking
