Diamant Pulling Strings
With his arm across his face, Li stare at the ceiling. He could hear the loud chatter of guards outside, the little insects making their usual noise at night, the slow burning of the wood in the fireplace that kept the little room warm and illuminated. He could hear almost everything with how silent his mind was. The loudest to him was the noisy breathing of the guard naked by his side as she cuddled close to him under the thin cover cloth covering away their nakedness.Then slowly his mind went stormy and his eyes went blurry with tears. He blinked it away, his eyes still focused on the ceiling.He just hoped that this sacrifice would be worth it.******************************Li entered the dungeon, his eyes casted to the ground. He mumbled to himself, then he looked at his sister who smiled feebly at him. The guard followed closely behind and when he was settled, she chained him back to his post. She smiled broadly at him then gave him a forehead kiss before disappearing into the
Diamant A Stagger From Oblivion
"I know." She whispered while she slipped to the ground. She didn't care for her gown while she sat on the floor, although they made a loud swishing and rumbling sound because of how big they were. She brought her knees up and rested on them her chin."I couldn't sleep last night, I haven't been able to sleep at all." She went silent for a while, too long that Lewis became worried. He almost turned to look at her, even if she was resting her back on the bars, he would at least be able to see if she was fine. He started moving but stopped when he heard her sniffle. She was crying.He gritted his teeth and said nothing. He had a feeling this was all going to be over soon, dragging his life along with it. How could it make it hurt less for her? Would pushing her away do it?"I stood angry at you for so long long, why had I done that?! I wish I hadn't done that." She broke into tears again. "Forgive me, Lewis. Please forgive me."It went silent again sve for Clara's soft sobbing."What
Diamant A Glimpse Of Something Wicked
Diamant walked in with the specter and a torch in one hand while she dragged a bag of raw meat in the other. The smell of flesh and blood filling her lungs. She could hear Landrus breathing but she couldn't see where he was then her eyes caught two blue light shining in the darkness."I am sorry I haven't really had time to come and see you. I brought you some food." She lifted her eyebrows at the bag on the floor. Landrus huffed and slowly emerged from the darkness. She stepped back, the space becoming too little with every step he took. He looked at the sack then set to it a blast of fire. He feasted hungrily on the meat, Diamant watched, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Soon he was done, he laid on the floor with his head on her laps. She stroke his head and he purred. She felt at peace and protected, it felt like her a great weight was lifted off her shoulders. Even if it would be only for that moment, she wanted to enjoy it. Suddenly, Landrus lifted his head, his ears perk
Diamant Flickers Of Unplanned
Diamant walked into the room hastily, her hands searched through the surface of the table and everything she could check."My Lady," Clara's shaky voice cried out while she grabbed her vase tightly to her chest."Is there any problem?"Diamant turned to them, different thoughts running through her mind. She had searched everywhere!Could it be that her thoughts about Doctor Rika was wrong but Minister Gu said they were in the plot together. If he had left an antidote to heal Clara, then it meant that something had gone wrong and he had backed out. Her hope was wavering. Had they, perhaps, lied to her?Although she suspected that Lewis was innocent, a part of her even completely believe it but if she didn't see prove, there was nothing she could really do. "My Lady?" She heard Clara call out again. Diamant snapped out of her thought, her eyes zeroed on the vase Clara cradled tightly to her chest. She stepped closer to her and without warning dragged it out of her grasp. Before Clara
Diamant Duck For The Shooting Mess
Nana's heartbeat spiked immediately when she saw Aaron's squinted eyes. She gasped in shock, "You must believe me, I am your grandmother!"His look towards her didn't change, sadness flashed in her eyes, "I will never do such to you, Aaron." She whispered to him, her voice begging him to believe her."DL was your garndson too, Nana. You had fooled us, gathered us as you did months ago. Our motive was for Alusa's greatness but yours was the throne!" Li stepped forward. He was lean and weak, the chains on his hands clung together and Mei Ling held him tightly. She looked small compared to him. Her once long shinny black hair was now tangled with dirt."I don't know what you are talking about!" Her voice thundered before she sprung her head in Aaron's direction."Your Majesty, can't you see that this is all Lewis's plan against me? Why do I deserve this?" Her eyes pleaded, her eyes looked distraught."Stop accusing my mother, you criminals!" Neil stood up, his stomach tumbling along with
Diamant Too Fast A Pace
The hands around him pulled him back roughly. Someone twisted one of the arrows further into his back. The pain shot in his head, his legs went weak and he crashed against the floor. His scream penetrated through his mask as he curled and uncurled on the floor in pain.Aaron's breath hitched, his chest raising and falling. He raced down the stairs and drew away the mask off his face. He staggered back at the sight of his scar filled face. The warriors had dragged the Twin up, so he was standing although if he wasn't held, he would fall forward.Aaron accessed his scar filled face while the Twin looked back at him with bitterness in his eyes."Pathetic people with faces, your blood wants your death." The cold words melted against his heart and he gritted his teeth. "You are not from here." Aaron said in a voice that was fighting being overcame by the pain of betrayal."This isn't treason either, my loyalty is to whosoever I give it to."Aaron looked at him questionably. Shouldn't he
Diamant How Does Your Medicine Taste
Nana broke into laughter while tears ran down her face. Her tangled red hair had now fallen down her shoulders."Such loyalty to my grandson and yet he has not recognized your dedication for him. I know of your sacrifice..."Malik who was now close to the bars turned slowly to her. He forced himself to stay silent while her eyes held his gaze.Satisfied at having his attention, Nana pushed."I know of the woman, the one you loved. All these sacrifice and all he has done is make you a dog and him, your master."Malik tightened his fists so much that he could slowly feel his hands got limp from restriction of blood flow."I can help you. Let me go and I will give you everything you ever wanted, everything that my grandson has refused..." An angry slap swept across her face making the remaining words died on her tongue. She spat out blood and barred her bloodstained teeth at him. His eyes were filled with raging anger."Your words are like the words of a Witch, they are poison to the ear
Diamant A Bitter Pill To Swallow
"Nein...Nein...my son." Nana stood up quickly but the weight of the chains coupled with her weakness brought her back to the ground. She stood up back, more carefully this time, her face lit with a smile of hope."Mother...." When he came into the view of the little torch the dungeon provided, her smile fell. The corners of his eyes looked sulkened and his eyes were red, like he had been crying."You don't look alright. What happened? Is it about me?" She tried to reach for him but the chains restrained her movement and the heaviness made her drop her hands back. She looked down at her chained hands, her heart heavy with doubt and pain but she looked up at him with hopefulness."Don't worry, I will be out soon. All I need you to do...""You did want to kill him, didn't you?"His silent voice cut her words shut. Her smile slowly fell again and she blinked rapidly."I begged you," he stepped closer to the bars, "I begged you not to touch all I had from Daniella. You know how much I love
