“I give up,” Konnor gave an exasperated sigh.
Cole shook his head. Konnor is really stubborn, more stubborn than he was.
“I told you, Konnor. All we can do is wait,” Tristan said as he sleepily yawned.
Tristan had been up all night yesterday, worried about what was there to come for him. He was suddenly captured by a few police officers yesterday. Normally, he could easily escape them, but for some reason or another, they seemed to know his schedule yesterday.
“Alright, alright. I’ll wait,” Konnor gave in. Left with no choice, Konnor decided to sit down on the white marbled floor

“Get enough rest. I’ll see all of you tomorrow,” Lily said as she walked away, closing the door behind her. She had brought all four of them to their dorm. Obviously, all of them had to wear their blindfold when they were brought here. Konnor asked Lily why it was necessary earlier, considering they would most likely be in this institution for a long time. “Because you have yet to prove your loyalty to us,” Lily replied as she placed the blindfold on Talia. Konnor, Tristan and Cole had their blindfold placed on by three mysterious men. They had their faces covered and they were wearing all black from head to toe. Then, they were forced to walk until they reached their destination. In a blink of an eye, they were in another unfamiliar room. Lily and the th
Fire & Flame | Author's note |
Hello, dear readers! Welcome to my story.Before you begin your quest in unravelling the secrets of Konnor, I hope all of you understand that I do not condone anything bad (at least according to the law) which happens in this story. Please note that since this is a fictional novel, some things in here might seem weird but it works (especially since this story is set in the future). I'm opened to constructive criticisms, but if you're going to leave hate comments here and there, the door's closed for you. However, if you must really speak your mind, you may drop a DM to my discord (starrynight#9319).There would be some chapters with trigger warnings in the beginning. If you are uncomfortable with whatever content the chapter has, feel free to skip it. After all, I hope this would be a safe place for all of you.I'll try my best to update a minimum of once a day :) I am still new to writing, so please bear with me. Hopefully, this book will serve as a

[ TW : Mentions of suicide, please skip this if you're uncomfortable ]Pain.All he is feeling is pain.Numb.Is this what people mean by feeling hollow? Feeling as if there is nothing left in the world for you. The feeling which makes you want to fall off a cliff and start fresh in the netherworld. Maybe drown himself in the cold sea.Perhaps then, he would be free.Konnor’s mother once told him, emotional pain has a biological purpose, to teach, to educate us away from unhealthy patterns and relationships. However, he wished he had not suffered from this pain. He wished
Fire & Flame Chapter 1 : The Chase
Year 3078 “Get off the walkway!” A piercing yet masculine scream filled the air. Onlookers who were at first, busy with their own thoughts suddenly turned their heads towards the scream. “Are all of you deaf? Get off the walkway if you wish to live longer!” The same voice roared. A man could be seen running for dear life as a few police officers chased him. “Mommy, why is the man running away from the policemen? Is he a bad guy?” An innocent voice asked as she pulled her mother’s dress. “He must be, darling. Remember, never become like him or you’ll end up in prison.” “What the-” the man rolls his eyes. Okay, yes, he is a bad guy, but he has never stepped foot into a prison before. Not like that’s a flex but he is genuinely concerned about keepin
Fire & Flame Chapter 2 : Reminiscing
“I most definitely did not appreciate your statement about my mom. And since every word which comes out of your pretty little mouth is offensive to me, I suggest you stop talking because I happen to have a knife.” The woman giggled. “Ah, mama’s boy. Don’t worry, I won’t stop talking.” Konnor flipped her off. Indeed, Konnor is a mama’s boy. But, what’s wrong with that? “So, what’s your name?” “I am someone you should be wary of.” “Okay, someone you should be wary of, nice name. My name’s Isabella Hansen. Just call me Bella.” Konnor’s eyes widened in fear. “Isabella Hansen? Are you sure we’re talking about the same Isabella Hansen?”
Fire & Flame Chapter 3 : Seeking the Hidden
“Damn it!” A man slams both his hands on the mahogany table in front of him. His face was fuming with anger. “Sir, we-” “Don’t give anymore excuses! You’re all just a bunch of useless bastards. We almost had him!” The man barked at his underdogs. “We’re sorry sir.” Five men said, synchronized. They were trembling, afraid of what their boss would do if they went beyond the line and ruffled his feathers. The man rubbed his temple. So far, he has not been having a good day. First, the stock market dropped. Then, he had a call from the big boss, threatening to put his job on the line if he failed to catch the one and only Konnor Fumiko. “Do you all understand h

“What? Are you not excited to see your twin?” Konnor shook his head furiously. “On the contrary, actually. It’s been a while since I met you. How have you been?” Rachel raised her hand and slapped Konnor’s right cheek. Hard. Konnor stood stupefied. That was the first time his twin has ever laid hands on him. “Rachel! It’s been so long since we’ve last met, and this is how you greet your twin? Mind you, I am 3 minutes older than you.” Rachel looked at him dead in the eyes. “Oh so you do know you’re older. I thought you completely forgot about it.” Rachel sarcastically retorted. “Rachel, are you out of your mind?” Konnor asked in horror.

Eventually, Konnor finished the steak. It wasn’t easy, considering the fact he was being watched like a hawk by Thomas. “Okay, now that we’re done, I need you to put these on,” Thomas said as he handed Konnor a blindfold. Konnor stared at Thomas, boggle-eyed. Why did he hand him a blindfold? “Thomas, I don’t swing that way.” “Swing, what way?” Konnor pointed to the blindfold and realisation dawned upon Thomas. “No, Konnor. That’s not what the blindfold is for.” “Oh, not to satisfy your kink?” Thomas sighed as he took the blindfold and forcefully placed it on Konnor. <

“What is this place anyway? Is this not prison?” Thomas looks at Konnor pointedly. If this was a prison, would he be served fancy food? “Konnor, you can be really dull-witted.” Konnor scoffs audibly, expressing his annoyance. How dare this stranger call him dull-witted! Konnor might not look like the sharpest tool in the shed right now, being tied up and all. However, most of the time, he is rather brilliant. And a narcissist. “Hey, that’s not very nice,” Konnor reprimands Thomas. Thomas slowly cuts the steak using the knife and fork provided. “I believe you took a look around.” Konnor watches his action cautiously. The knife lo

This time, he sees his mother in front of him. “Mom? Is-is that you?” Konnor asks emotionally. “Konnor, get up! The sun is shining!” “Mom?” “You make sure you get up okay? I need to leave now,” the woman says as she slowly fades into the background. “Mom! Wait! Come back! Don’t leave me again, please!” Konnor yells as he falls onto the ground. E

Chapter 16 : Sharing, not caring
“What’s the commotion outside?” Rachel is currently fixing her makeup. The next event involves friendly games among the guests. So, she had to change out of her long gown into a more casual outfit. Of course, being the star of the day, her casual outfit has to be impeccable. She opted for a long-sleeved baby blue shirt and a pair of white jeans. She also had a long vest as the icing of the entire outfit. “It seems like the police officers are trying to restrain someone, miss,” the makeup artist replies as she applies some lip gloss onto Rachel’s pale lips. “How dare they barge into my engagement party like this? What would the guests think about us?” Rachel complains. Alderic came up behind her and placed both his hands onto her shoulder. “Sweetheart, don’t worry. I

“You even kept up with the time? You’re too nice, Konnor.” Konnor groans. He decides to ignore Sarah and her antics. He didn’t want to ruin the liveliness of this party just because of her. Rachel and Alderic come back and take their seats respectively. At the corner of his eye, Konnor sees Rachel’s eyes glimmering in tears of happiness. A gentle smile etched onto Konnor’s face. “I’m finally engaged with the love of my life!” Rachel whispers to Konnor. Konnor merely smiles and pats her head lovingly. “Rachel, we should get ourselves ready for the next event,” Alderic says as he looks at his fiance tenderly. Rachel nodded shyly, and allowed Alderic to guide her towards the back stage. Meanwhile, Sarah and Isabella follow them from behind. Konnor found this parti

“Even your name sounds romantic. Konnor, are you single?” Konnor looked at Sarah, flabbergasted. Why is she suddenly asking this? “Yes, I am-” “That’s great! I have a chance!” Sarah squeals. Konnor opened his mouth in amazement. This is the first time someone is openly confessing to him. “I-uh, I appreciate your sincerity. But I don’t want to be in a relationship right now.” “No worries, Konnor! I’ll chase you until you change your mind,” Sarah replies as she skips away happily. Konnor just shakes his head. He wasn’t expecting to gain another admirer. Clearly, she doesn’t watch the news often. Otherwise she would be stayin
