Desire

Rio. I was only a few meters away from the hospital when everything suddenly changed. My car's engine draws to a halt, refusing to pick up. Strange. Looking around, I'm practically on the mountain road; there's no one around that can help. With a frustrating bite of my lip, I turn the keys again in the ignition, and the engine only purrs a few seconds before going off. A few more trials. Same result. I cursed, smacking my fist angrily on the steering wheel. Just need to check what the problem is out front. I run a hand through my hair and pull the door open, stepping out. I notice the strange pressure in the air, the wind ruffling my hair and blowing it into my face. I ignore it all and round the car to the bonnet. The metal groans as I pull it open and scan the engine. Truth is, I don't know where the problem is coming from. I touch a few wires and assess the battery. I hope that works. Slamming the bonnet closed, I whip around. Only a gasp tears from the depths of my mout

You're here

Hunter. Chills roughen my skin amidst the pain rippling through me. A deep groan ratchets off my lips. Why do I ache all over? Was I in some kind of fight? My lashes bat even as my eyes are closed. I process my recent memory, and a shudder wracks through me. Hell, I was indeed beaten to a pulp by the Skull wardens. My eyes flash open immediately at the reminder, and I prop myself up on my elbows, peeking my eyes through the thick fog surrounding me. Damn, those motherfuckers beat the hell out of me. I'll give them that. I hardly come across anyone who overpowers me effortlessly as they did. Wait a sec, where did they bring me to? Purgatory? The thick fog refuses to grant me clear vision, and I'm left wondering where I am. I guess the beating reset my mind. Hmm, I look disinterestedly around, noticing the dead iced trees springing forth from...Shit, I'm in the middle of an iced swamp lake? How did I...I trail off and jump to my feet, and whatever I'm standing on hobbles o

Bond war

Veil. The whistling wind stirs me from my slumber. I hate it. I was just having a nice rest, only for it to be interrupted. I groan inwardly and turn to my side just to muffle the sound of the wind. Shockingly, the bed beneath me is utterly cold. That pushes me further awake. I spring my eyes open, shocked to see I'm lying on the snow. Intense cold rushes through me immediately, squeezing my lungs. I rush to my feet with speed, darting my eyes around. Something cold plummets on me. Rubbing a finger on my face, I realize it's snow. Goddess above, I'm in the Cold Mountains. A short gasp tears from my lips. I look around again, and I see the great walls facing me, a rope and harness dangling from it. How did I get here? Worry clenches my chest as I remember everything now. Hunter and I were taken from the cemetery. I remember him fighting with the Skull Head wardens. He was trying to protect me. Just that thought warms my heart a smidge. Shit, where is he now?And Rio, didn't

They hate fire

Rio.The Frozen City is another world on its own. Just like its name, everything here is frozen. Lifeless. People frozen in time, regardless of what they were doing. When I was younger, my mother never failed to tell me about the apocalypse of the ancient world, one that happened without warning. The legend has it that the moon goddess despised their disregard for her and decided to show them what happens to insolent people. The people of the ancient city had supernatural powers that enabled them to do whatever they wanted. My mother had said that they used their powers against other kinds, especially humans, turning them into not just their slaves but their worshippers because to the people of the ancient world, they saw themselves as gods and goddesses. Anarchy ruled in their realm. No man had respect for another, and it got to the level that the goddess had to destroy them by sending the ice storm, turning everything in the city to ice. Well, the goddess didn't like that the

Accept it

Hunter."You're going to die, son. Just accept it." Helena's voice taunts loudly as I weave through the woods, searching for the damn portal.I can't believe I'm on the other side. It doesn't make sense, except things work differently in the Cold Mountains. The barrier between the living and the dead is almost non-existent.However, nothing irks me more than being in the same space as the woman who gave birth to me.Hearing her voice reminds me of all those years I grew up needing her love and attention. Instead, I got abused in return. Condescending words no kid should ever hear.She was my hell until I became hers.Blood savagely pumps through me, making my skin burn hotter as the northern lights lighten my paths.Chase's voice antagonizes my mother's, trying to get me going, yet the memories make my feet drag.I don't know how much time I have left, but it feels like I've been running for eternity.Her wild laughter echoes. "You're definitely going to end up in the same hell as me,

A broken mess

Veil.It's been an endless circle of pain. An emotional war that threatens to drag me under. My cries almost blend with the baby's cries. Yet Ryder's voice remains a cold torture, blasting off my eardrums. I want it to stop. This bond war. How can I still be bonded to a man who messed up my life and rejected me? Ryder and I are over. It has to be. "Veil." He drawls powerfully, the invisible force making my feet drag as I follow the direction of the baby's cries. "You belong to me, Veil." I don't, I chant in my head, countering everything he's saying. Tears blur my vision. It takes a few blinks to clear them up. The intensity with which my heart is hammering is alarming. It makes my head swirl hard. Blood rushes and curdles. I forget that it's cold, thanks to the burn I feel inwardly. "I love you, my little goddess. I've always loved you. Can't you see that?" I power through the woods, my feet sinking into the snow. My baby is crying. He needs me. Still needs me. I call h

We made it

Rio. I grunt with every move I make, carrying my little moon on my back. They've attacked her, almost about to kill my woman. That's not just my worry. It's the fact that she's having a nosebleed. The one Dr. Eliza warned against. Veil's Rutlock has reached its limit. Crap! I can't lose her. I can't lose the only woman who matters to me. I have to find a solution. To salvage this mess about to befall me. I don't care that I am in pain myself as I run down the road that leads to an unknown place. It could be the haven of these monsters. Or another monster we're yet to encounter. Whatever it is, I'll face it head-on. I'm just glad I found her. Her breathing is becoming shallow, which spikes my worry. I shove forward more, pushing myself past my limits. Eventually, we arrived at a villa at the end of the road. Oh, this is where the road leads? Could this be the end of our task? The groaning of paws on the ground reminds me of the monsters chasing us. I flick a look behind,

Five minutes mercy

Hunter. The witch is here. Well, unlike her lover, Rio. She seems to be on the verge of death. Still breathing hard from outrunning those monsters out there, I keep my eyes on them as I stand by the door. I'd never go close to her. Her skin is now a dark shade of purple. Her lips parched. Dark blood drips from her nose as black veins rope around her neck. I wonder what caused that. I'm guessing she was attacked by the monsters. Ugh, it's somewhat relieving to know I wasn't the only one who passed through this monstrous hell that is the Cold Mountains.Hmm, I made it alive, and I've got to stay alive until we're ready to be sent back home."No, Veil, you have to stay with me." Rio's painful whimper draws my attention back to them.He has Veil cradled to his chest while he speaks into her ear. I can practically hear the urgency in his voice, the yearning. Suddenly, he presses his lips to hers, pleading for her to wake up in between the kisses. That's not going to do anything, dude
