ROZETA:The voice from behind gave me an unexpected sensation. Even though it took me a while, I was able to process the voice's owner and I was swept with a flood of safety immediately.The sense of safety didn't stop my heart from beating so fast as I was still scared from the fact that a knife — which I can clearly see now — was still being directed at me. A single motion and I would be incapacitated instantly.The man didn't even look like he was struggling to get his hand free but he kept his focus on me, a smirk forming on his face as he did so."I see you really have a lot to tend to as you said," the man says, his voice a combination of calm and terrifying. He was definitely not talking to me, I was sure of that.I feel a soft grip on my arms and then the words get to my ears, "Come behind me, Rozeta."I nod once and then start to adhere to what I was told to do. Right now I wasn't bothered about being caught in a position I still have no idea about. I'm bothered about how I c

ROZETA:As I stare at the floor of the room, I couldn't help but take my hand up to the side of my neck just to have a feel of the spot around it. The realization of knowing that it wasn't just a mark as I guessed it to be made it make sense now.I always want to forget the night it happened but circumstances keep taking me back to it, so much that it was starting to be a significant part of me now. At least I can say now that getting the bite mark was not just something ordinary."So that explains everything," I say without speaking out too loud. "That explains why I've been seeing more of you often. I wondered why but never would I have thought it would be because of this stupid mark on my neck,"I look up at him. His eyes were fixated on me and he had a worried look on his face. Seeing him even have an atom of sympathy got me infuriated and I didn't know when I start to get riled up."What was your motive when you did this to me? Were you even ever going to mention that it was you

JAX:After looking through the front view mirror and confirming Rozeta was indeed asleep, I shift back to my initial position of leaning on the car door while looking out the window.Hours of driving has made her exhausted and was at the brisk of tiring me out as well. It was mostly due to the energy I used in protecting her from harm's way."You've caused havoc to the human world, you know that right?" I hear Manuel ask from beside me in a voice that was silent enough for me alone to hear.I shut my eyes close first before dishing out a response to him. "I know," is what I say.He continues with his driving while I take my time to relax my head for a while. I was certain of the fact that he was going to ask something else soon which is why I half-heartedly await him.I was worried about Rozeta. Her reaction when I looked at her was something I didn't think I would see after seeing how well she was handling the situation before then. She opened my eyes to one thing and that was the pa

ROZETA:"Rozeta..."The wind blew the call of my name in my direction. Was solemn but I felt it rush against my soul, moving me to open my eyes to take a look at what had called out to me.I was met with the strangest of environment. So strange that I was beginning to wonder when Jax and his friend moved me from the haven without my knowledge.Right above me was nothing but the blue sky, leaving me to question how long I'd been asleep when I recall closing my eyes to sleep not too long ago. I'm almost sent into a state of panic but I control myself almost at the last second. All I need to figure out is where this is.One thing I was able to notice was that I wasn't laying on a bed. It was nothing more than the grass beneath me and it brings more questions to me."Jax?" I summon the courage to call out to the man who should be here with me. That's if he's even anywhere around.I get no answer to my call but it didn't stop me from calling him more. If I remembered the name of his friend

ROZETA:As ironical as it sounds, there was an atom or truth in what I said about Dera. She was indeed beautiful even with the deadly gaze she had. Although it felt more from staring into her eyes than her face.Recalling the events of the dream I had which still feels so real at the moment is what I use to describe all I had to describe to Jax about Dera. I think he was so interested in what I had to say because each time I look in his direction, I find him focusing on me.I end my description with me waking up to realize I was in the room given to me. I didn't fail to express the disappointment I had in knowing that she kept the identity of Jax away from me but I didn't let him know that part. It was best I keep it away from him for my sanity.I stare into space once I was done with all I had to say. I don't know if I was awaiting a response on that from him or just a word to acknowledge that everything I did see was not stupid. The only thing that would be stupid here is if Jax tel
