Elena's POV "Shoot" He ordered his man and a shooting sound reached my ear before everything became still. My ears started ringing and my head started spinning. The man holding my throat left me and I slumped on the ground gasping for air. My eyes were closed and I was trying to feel any kind of pain or bullet in my body.  But I wasn't feeling any except on the throat that was in the tight clasp of a monster a few seconds ago. My heart was still beating and the way I was gasping implied that I can still breathe. I opened my eyes at another gun shoot to find the man who was pointing his gun at me lying on the ground, a river of blood was flowing out of his head. His eyes and body were lifeless. A shriek was ready to erupt out of my throat and deafen others but it died in my mouth as soon as it emerged. I became completely numb looking at the pool of blood and the deceased man lying in front of me. 

Elena's POV I stirred in my sleep and felt something very soft under me. It felt like I am sleeping on clouds, so soft and comfortable. I don't want to wake up. I snuggled more into the clouds to feel heaven. But then I realized that I am not into heaven but in hell. I opened my eyes to see the devil sitting on the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers. His expressions were neutral and his eyes were unreadable as always. He was looking at nothing in particular. It seems like he is planning the murder of someone. What a lovely starting... Isn't it? I tilted my head to see the time and it is 10 past 6 in the evening. Oh my God! I was sleeping for the past 19 hours. Wasn't that too much? "Finally! You are awake" the devil spoke grabbing my attention. He stood up from his place, used a sturdy ashtray to dispose off the cigarette, and walked towards the bed. He sat on the bed b

Elena's POV Today is the final. I got late in reaching the University as my mother and brother were not ready to cut the video call. I came to New York for my further studies and I am staying here for the last two years. Three more to go! And then I can live with my family all the time. For now, I am just enjoying my college life to its fullest. After volleyball, it is my chance to play table tennis. I quickly stuffed my things into the locker. I know I should keep them with care but I am messy and I can't do anything in this. It is in my nature. I went to change my jersey and make myself ready for the competition. I could hear boys laughing and cheering outside. After doing my work I came out to find a football team leaving the area. One boy left behind who was going to play against me today. The one who challenged me yesterday. I guess he is on the football team too. Impressive..... He was still standing in front of the mirror an

Elena's POV The last months went well. We submitted our assignments and got the highest marks. Everyone was jealous of us and especially from me as now more girls have been added to the list of the people who are jealous of me and this time the reason is Raphael. Within such a short period, he has attracted so many girls towards him. Nowadays he is the hot topic for the gossip among girls. That's why I have stopped sitting with them as I am least interested in this kind of talk. So I spent most of the time in the library reading romantic novels or sleeping at my apartment. People can think the hell they want to think about me. I don't give a damn! Although I haven't talked to him from the day I have come back from his home but now I realized that day I overreacted. You could say that the periods were playing with me that's why I did all that. Whatever it was... I teased him over the limits. After that day he has tried

Elena's POV The last day of our tour was the day when our friendship started and it is growing stronger day by day. We fight a lot, lot means a lot, but that makes our relationship even better. People are more envious of the bond that we share. But we don't give a damn. I have passed the third year and the credit goes to him. He taught me every subject and compelled me to study all night so that I can pass the exams and his hard work paid off. I have passed with good marks and he has topped the class. He is a brilliant student. You will not find him studying except during the lectures still he manages to secure the highest marks. But the only con of making class topper your best friend is that you will get bore during the lectures. He doesn't talk to me when the professors are teaching. I have tried many times to sit with Steven but he never let me sit with him as he doesn't like him and I don't know the reason behind
