~KeziExhaustion assisted me in sleeping that night.The chemicals from the cream have sunk deep into my brand like sharpened claws, scrapping away at the magical bond slowly and surely. It’s excruciating, which is why I’m grateful for the lack of sleep I’ve had earlier. Unconsciousness carried me from the pain until morning, where I opened my eyes to see something questionably more excruciating.Alden stands at the

~KeziExtremely cautious hardly summoned up my demeanour, as I slip out of my room.This could be a trap. Some way for Alden to pin something on me, that would eventually lead to my confession. And that I would lead to Alden seeing the mark on my back, which is currently the only thing I have against him. As long as he never sees it, I have time to escape. I’m unsure of what he will do with me once he has what he wants.The corridor is empty, the time of morning unknown. It’s earlier enough that Sermon isn’t out harassing patients here. So I make my way quickly toward the elevator. Alden mentioned something about the top f

~KeziI returned to my room just in time. Sermon burst in five minutes later.“You’re up early,” she notices, as two woman wearing white face masks follow her in. The girl with the pale green eyes, sleek black hair pulled into a bun behind her head, is one of them. She’s the only one of Alden’s staff - aside from Sermon - that I still remember. “You’re dressed, even.”I shrug nonchalantly, not saying anything. The last thing I want is for Sermon to become suspicious of my escape. The word would surely spread like wildfire.“You’ve taken a

~KeziI was hardly concentrating on my sandwich at lunch.Etta was compensating for my lack of conversation, chattering on about her latest dose of medication. Something about how she had hallucinated about a boy she had a crush on joining her in bed. Melena seemed to disregard her, while Amilia reprimanded her for her foolishness. The pecking order within this group seems to shift between Amilia and Melena being on top. I can’t decide what’s going on between them.“Did you hear about the two girls in the gym room this morning?” Etta asks excitedly. Those deep blue eyes often gleam, I’ve noticed, when she’s gossiping. “Bot

~KeziThe sound of dull buzzing and faint clicking greets me into consciousness.It takes a bit of scrambling for me to realise what has happened. I feel marvellous, as if untouched by any harm. As my eyes crack open, I’m reminded of the harsh white ceilings, and the crisp sheets that cover my body. Sitting up is difficult, the amount of tubes wrapped around me near ridiculous.Everyone in the room turns, noticing my movement. Cian is gone, a distant memory in the back of my mind. Now, instead, I’m looking at a nurse, a doctor and Alpha Alden.

~KezziahI’m frozen.Time seems to have that ability. To chill my blood and cool my skin. Every inch of me is suddenly fridged, the brittle atmosphere within the room wanting to step right out. Not that I have much of a choice in doing that. If Time want’s to speak to you, then he will. That’s how he branded me in the first place.He twists something on his finger as he stares at me. A ring. It’s golden - like his eyes - and adorned with brilliant glinting diamonds. Its lavish, pertaining to whatever has been filling his time with recently.

~KezziahSermon woke me the next morning, appearing at the door, but not passing the threshold.The expression on her face told me something isn’t right. She seems wary, peering into my room as if someone, or something, would jump out and attack her. It takes my groggy, waking mind a few moments to piece together why she might be anxious about stepping into this room.Time.I’m not sure what it means to me if she saw what happened last night. The memory seems to dip in and out of my conscious, but what I do remember, are those pierci

~KezziahI can’t predict what is going to happen tonight.Three days has past from Cian’s proposal. He will keep me safe, and in return, I will attend this party on his arm tonight. I’m not particularly fond of the idea, and I’m unsure of what will happen as a consequence, but I need this. If he keeps me safe, I can escape, find freedom, and Avia. I can finally right everything.“I picked out your outfit for tonight,” Cian tells me, turning around with a dress in hand. “Since you don’t exactly have the resources to get yourself one.”
