>>HarouI had to take a deep breath before going into the office of the man I’d been wanting to catch.“Oh!” Matthew was delighted to see me, “Look who it is,” He leaned back against his leather office chair, “Detective Harou,” He passed me a smile as I entered the room.I let out a battle sigh, then shut the door behind me, “Matthew,”“You don’t look good,” He made a very obvious statement.“Yes well,” I walked over to the couches slowly, “I haven’t slept in days,” I really didn’t want to come here. I feel like a clown when I’m with Matthew. I know pretty well that he’s a criminal, he beats the shit o

>>Jenny The moment I was almost dragged into the cabin, I had an urge to do something very reckless. It was a fight or flight response and I seemed to be having both of them simultaneously. It was now or never With a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins, I mustered every ounce of strength and resilience within me.

>>PortiaEverything was going great but then Ulrich’s guards pulled up and a sense of dread washed over me as I realized something.And, I turned to look at my mate, “Will you be leaving with Ulrich?” I asked Egon.He glanced back at me, “Yea,” He nodded, “I can’t stay away from my post for long,” He smirked which had a hint of sadness in it, “And I have to escort him back too since we’re outside the Silver City.”The thought of him leaving, even if temporarily, brought forth a flood of emotions.I felt lonely all of a sudden even though at the moment he was standing right by my side, a sense of yearning to be by his side gnawed at me and I felt heartbrok

>>JenaAll my life, I’ve heard people say how difficult it is to adjust to new societies. But they were mostly talking about moving to other countries or moving to a different class level. Yet still, I understand them, even more so because I’m trying to adjust to not only a different class and society, it’s also a different race and one could even say a different country.The Silver City was amazing, I won’t deny that.
