Diamant Ticking Suspicion
Diamant jerked vehemently in bed, her eyes flew open and she sat up. She looked around in a hurry, taking in her environment. The flickering candle on the candle stand made her calm down, she stood up slowly, feeling dehydrated. Her lips felt dry and and she lifted her hands to her burning throat."It was just a nightmare," she whispered to herself while she gulped down a goblet of water.Something felt awfully wrong with her. It felt like she was loosing her mind. She still remembered what had happened between her and Sunain like a flickering thought seeping into her mind. Was she breaking under pressure? Sometimes she felt like she was herself, other times she felt she wasn't. She sighed, exhaustion making her legs weak. Every muscle in her body felt too weak. Her mind was completely troubled. Asides all that had been happening to her, she couldn't let herself forget that there was still something in Landrus's dungeon she must retrieve before its absence would be noticed.Fear rush
Diamant All Shades Of Sketchy
"No, what is your name?" Diamant smiled."Klaus, my Lady." The first guard said."And you?""Ranto," he said quickly under his breath."Thank you, Klaus and Ranto. You may go back to your business now." Diamant looked away from them and back to the muddy prints on the floor.Before she was confused, now she was very confused!She waited to feel their departing presence but it never came. She looked up with a slight glare."Why are you still waiting here?" "Our job is to keep you safe, My Lady," Klaus replied."So the palace isn't safe?""Nowhere is safe these days," Ranto muttered to himself.Diamant heard that even though it didn't seem like it was meant for her ears. She tightened her grip against her gown and smiled at them broadly."Alright then, excort me to my room, if you may.""Gladly," Klaus replied, his voice still stoic.When they turned around and headed for her room, Diamant could see guards scattered around, some stood rooted to a spot while others paraded the ground.
Diamant To A Certain Uncertain
She heard someone strick a match behind her. Diamant made a round about turn quickly. Her mouth parted in a low gasp and she creased her forehead in confusion.There stood Sunain with a cloth wrapped around her, her grip tight on her chest. Water dripping off her hair while it stuck to her face, a flickering candle in her other hand. Her eyes held fear and her shoulders stiffened. "D-diamant?" She whispered.Diamant blinked, she took a step closer to her and Sunain quickly took a step back making Diamant stop in her tracks."This doesn't make sense," Diamant whispered to herself, her gaze on the floor stained with scanty drops of liquid."I saw you!"Sunain looked at her, her eyes filled with questions. When she stepped closer again, Sunain stepped back like she did before."How did you come in? You were not in here before," Diamant said, flickering her eyes to the door quickly. It was still shut. She looked up at her again."I. Saw. You." The words pushed forcefully through her teet
Diamant A Little Visit
"Quite a lot, my Lady." His tone was calm, devoid of any trace of tiredness.Diamant set her position, looking carefully at her target before raising her bow and sending the the arrow flying across the room. It planted itself firmly across the wood and there was a spark in her eyes.She had been a little distracted and had missed the spot she was aiming for by a disappointing distance."Is there anyone by the names Klaus and Ranto amongst the palace guards?"Lewis sucked in a deep breath, deep in thought."I do know Klaus but I don't know who Ranto is... Then again, they are so much, I can't know everyone."Diamant looked at him quickly, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Her lips parted in an attempt for her to say something but she shut it back. It felt like everyone was playing a mind game with her. She eyed him suspiciously and Lewis felt uncomfortable under her intense gaze."Is anything the matter, my Lady?"She bit her lips and looked away. She had got lost in thought and not
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
