Romans & histoires Neon Red

Nereza was about to knock but the door suddenly opens followed by a soft but firm voice of a woman. "Come in..." Despite the reluctance, we find ourselves entering. Not a single light illuminates the room, shortly, we all heard a soft laugh somewhere in the corner. "I can sense your fear. Don't be afraid, it's just me," a woman uttered softly. Right after casting those words, the room is slowly illuminated with light. Then in front of our very own eyes stood a beautiful woman with curly bright red hair that falls past her waist. She has porcelain skin, lips as red as blood, and a pair of emerald eyes.

In their homeworld of Triton, they lived in islets surrounded by a vast dark blue ocean that were occasionally disturbed by the storm that came from the grey cloudy skies. Here, however, was a desert that changes color depending on where the sun would stop at a given time. In the horizon, it would be purple. If the sun was at zenith point, it was light tan but when the sun sets and paved way for the moon to shine, it was green. The Solar ADF had grown on calling it 'Neon Desert', for some reason.

"Liliana, stop this game and come out now! "Liliana, I'll forgive you for everything. Show yourself. "I don't care about the divorce anymore, Liliana. Please...come out..." Adrian's cries echoed through the charred remains of the villa, but no one answered him. His legs gave out as he stumbled through the debris, and he collapsed in front of a blackened body. He reached out hesitantly to touch the corpse that once was Liliana. Then, he recoiled—she was unrecognizable, burned to a crisp. Only the glint of a diamond ring on the right hand's ring finger confirmed it was her. Overcome with sorrow, he wrapped his arms around her remains and wept. "Argh! Liliana!"

The city blurred past us in streaks of neon and rain. Damian’s foot never left the gas, the SUV weaving through traffic like a bullet. My eyes stayed glued to the live feed on my phone…..; the technician in the white coat standing in front of the cryogenic tank, holding the small vial labeled with Damian’s name and the date of that Vegas night. Ten minutes. That was all we had. “Faster,” I whispered, even though he was already pushing the car to its limit.

“I felt— through the bond, I felt something—” He stops abruptly, his eyes widening as he takes in whatever he's seeing. “Kai. Your eyes. They're—” “Red,” Summer finishes. “They've been glowing red for the past ten minutes.” “Not just ref.” Zane's voice carries something like reverence. “Blue too. Red and blue mixed together. I've never seen anything like it.” “What does that mean?” I ask, though I'm not sure I want to know the answer. Zane and Summer exchange a look. Some unspoken communication passing between them.

Neo-Vegas wasn't a city; it was a circuit board built of glass and sin. As we rode through the massive holographic gates, the air changed. The radioactive stench of the waste was replaced by the sterile, recycled air of a pressurized dome. Neon lights towered sixty stories high, not advertising casinos or hotels, but processing power. "UPLOAD YOUR DEBT," one sign flashed in blinding pink. "ETERNAL LIFE IN THE CLOUD," promised another in jagged green.

His supposed brown melts into crimson red. Holy shit.

WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENT SEXUAL ACTIVITIES. *** BHYRON I’ve been watching Amani through the CCTV footage on my iPad ever since she wandered off, not because I’m scared that she might figure out the secrets lurking behind the walls of this club, but because I’m obsessed. Red is the worst colour to ever exist in my opinion. The mere sight of it brings back horrible memories, memories I’d rather keep buried forever…but red on Amani is just divine.

Neon chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm glad you think so," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "Shall we get going? I don't want to be late for school." Maya nodded, her heart skipping a beat as Neon's fingers intertwined with hers, sending a spark of electricity through her entire body. She felt like she was melting into his touch like she was exactly where she was meant to be. Neon's eyes gleamed with excitement as he opened the door to his sleek Ferrari, the sound of the engine purring like a contented beast.

They were too young to go through such things and I wondered how bad it must have been for them, and why are people so cruel and use other people the way they deem fit. “I knew immediately when I tested your blood that it was something similar and your blood could do a lot to help those dying, weak, and barely surviving” Neon said and sniffed, wiping the tears that escaped from my eyes “I knew your existence could make Lena healthier after drawing your blood and that’s why I am begging you to please help me save her, you are the only one who could do that for us,” Neon said, and I sniffed again, trying so hard to control my tears
