Diamant Switching Identity
"Raise your chin, Amelia. You ain't going to hide under that ghosty hair forever." Amelia? There must have been some mistake! All the information felt jumbled up in Diamant's head. What was it about the scrolls? What was he saying? Was this man drunk?! They couldn't have been useless, she had been working on them for a long time now! Then she heard people muttering as they rushed into the room. "Hey, it's the new gal." "Such trouble she is." Hearing that, her mind thought fast and she decided to play along. There was still something she was missing and she felt an overpowering need to find out. Somehow, she felt that this was the way. "Excuse me..." She heard someone say hurriedly then she could see a pair of black muddy boots appear before her. As her eyes were fixated on the floor and her scrolls, all she could easily see and judge them by were their boots. "It is my fault, Leader! Whatever it is!" The owner of the pair of boots said hurriedly with a breathless voice, it sou
Diamant Sprouting Rebellion
They stopped immediately, Diamant trying her best to seem calm while she still kept her head lowered."Your Majesty?" She heard her partner ask. From her lowered gaze, she could see Aaron approaching them quickly, her heartbeat speed up. No, no, no. She didn't want this. Did he notice something? Her, maybe? Did he know? Why was he moving so fast? Diamant felt heat rush over her and she tried hard to control her breathing. Then suddenly she heard scrolls rolling off the table and a short angry hiss from Aaron. She looked up slightly to see a glare on his face as he staggered back and muttered curses under his breath. Her partner rushed forward and once again put them back in place. She hoped in her heart that he wouldn't notice how she had ousted herself from that duty.At that moment he wondered about something he had missed and feared its importance."Who brought up the scrolls anyway?"Diamant heaved silently in relief at the question, he was now distracted but when she processed
Diamant On Repeat
"Oh, Aliyah." He said her name in a lingering way. The room suddenly felt filled with a different type of tension.She could feel him approaching her and for some reason that she couldn't explain, she watched the slight space between the door and the doorframe yet she couldn't find it in herself to move...to fling the door open and put an end to everything.A part of her didn't want her to.Then she felt his hand slowly wrap around hers that was on the doorknob, tenderly freely it from her grip while his lips slightly grazed the tip of her ear. Goosebumps laced her skin, she closed her eyes briefly and swallowed a lump in her throat.It felt suddenly hot.She heard keys jingling and the door clinked shut. Her eyes flew opened, at that moment Aaron spun her around in his arms."You always want so much,"his deep voice whispered huskily and she left him guide her back to the wall where she was resting against a while ago. He lowered his head towards her and a large teasing smile slowly s
Diamant Layers Of Surprise
Aaron closed the door then went to the bathroom pushing the door opened to see a quivering Aliyah on the wet floor while tears streamed down her face. Her face twitched in pain. He stepped in and he saw her visibly go stiff.He scoffed before crouching before her and pulling her slowly to her feet so that they were both standing. She felt weak in his hands like she could fall if he wasn't holding her and she felt...hot.She must be sick.He squinted his eyes at her, then he noticed the now turned red cloth wrapped around her upper left arm and he gave a sharp short hiss.Aliyah flinched."You are sick, aren't you? You shouldn't have come," he said with a gruff before leading her to the room which she followed along without a fight. He made her sit on the bed then fetched a bowl of clean water attending to her cut.She relaxed a bit, her gaze fixed on the floor. She had stopped sobbing now."You are always doing this... demanding," he said quietly.She heard him squeeze the cloth into
Diamant A Different Shade Of Him
He whispered something to a guard next to him, his eyes still fixed on Diamant while he spoke. The guard soon left in a hurry. Aaron walked down the short stairs slowly not taking his eyes off her for a moment. The wind blew softly and he shuddered lightly from cold, drawing his robe closer to him.She pushed her captive away from her grip roughly. He fell to the floor, stood up immediately and scurried away from her with his sword and armour clanking loudly.She felt wild and furious. She took quick angry strides to Aaron who was now down the stairs and watching her with a silent smile just like a predator waiting patiently for his prey that was walking foolishly walking into his trap."How long?!" She was breathing heavily from anger, her lips trembling slightly in rage.He looked around to see how much attention they now had. His face was blank and his eyes looked confused, feigning ignorance."How long what?""Don't you dare lie to me, your Majesty!" She snapped at him and a slow
Diamant New Shade, Old Shade.
"I hate seeing you like this, I really hate seeing you hurting." He said with concern and a flash of anger in his voice, then he rested on one of the pillars around the bed, his eyes still on her."What is so wrong in you loving me? I really don't ask for much, you know? Just stop running away from me and accept your place by my side." His left hand shook slightly and he quickly grabbed it in the other, blinking furiously before his face went back to its relaxed state again.She tried to say something again and his attention was fully back on her. His eyes lit in excitement and he stepped forward taking off the gag from her mouth. She sighed in relief once the cloth was off her mouth. He stood there, his face set inches away from hers, waiting for what she had to say. Then suddenly, She spat in his face, conveying all she thought of him in that one act.He straightened himself up slowly, reached for an handkerchief and wiped his face clean with it. Surprisingly, he didn't take any of
Diamant The Good Old Way?
The meeting didn't go well, not one bit. Some tribe leaders had taken it upon themselves to be absent, in a way to show their displeasure of how he was ruling.Or maybe it was about the rumour...the one he had killed a long time ago. Was it suddenly gaining strength again?No! Absolutely not! He had put an end to it. It can't be the rumour.This was supposed to be their first meeting, one that should have been held a long time ago. Only the leader of the fire tribe and his wife had been present, even Skull Dwelling hadn't sent a representative. Those gang of crimimals!Although he had expected that would happen, the people from Skull Dwelling were rugged and highly daring. They were doing all their appointed duties just fine, one can't get a lot of taxes from places like that but it was a great source of labour. They weren't ones for a talk around a table and they made that clear.He ended the meeting, furious. How bad could the morning get?!Too much things were happening. He was
Diamant Hands Getting Out Of Hands
Blinded by an unexplainable rage, Aaron tightened his fists on Malik's neck till suddenly he pushed him out of his grip. Malik's hands went up his neck, glad to be free while he stepped quickly away from Aaron. He focused on his breathing like he was trying to get all the breath he couldn't get before.After a while, he looked up at Aaron then he saw his shaking hands and he gasped lightly. Aaron heard him and snapped his face to him, his eyes sending warnings that even Malik's swollen eyes could see.They stayed like that for a while in silence before Aaron sat on the ground exhausted. It wasn't until then that he felt his hand bleeding and aching from Malik's previous struggle to survive."You...""Don't say it," Aaron said breaking his sentence short. Malik slowly sat next to him."It's getting worse," he whispered, his voice laced with concern."I have it under control.""You almost killed me!"Aaron scoffed, "but I didn't..." he muttered to himself then pointed at the sword dug a
