Draven walked back and forth the corridor, the medical staff rushed past him to the various patient rooms nearby.

Suddenly, an elderly doctor walked through the door, his smiled nudged the webs of his face closer to his fisheyes and a saggy mouth. Humorous was he, yet Draven paid no sorts to his comical expression and dashed to him. "Is she okay?"

"Young man, she is okay" he said, putting his palms out.

Draven puffed a breath of relief "So? How long will she be under observation?"

He replied "She would most probably recover in a few hours but I do recommend keeping her for a day. Just to be sure"

"Oh, that's great" a ray of sunshine peeked through the dark clouds; stunning the doctor and the nurse looking over his shoulder.

Draven smiled from his heart, said "Doctor, can I see her?"

"Uhh… yeah. It should be fine"

"Hmm" he walked past them and entered her room and pulled himself closer to her bed.

'I love her but Becky… what would you think?' He shook the smog off his heart, 'No, Becky already said she was okay if I did' He beamed a dazzling smile, sweeping his true thoughts under a rug "Yes, a date would be lovely" Springing forth happiness, she jumped on her feet "Great, then let's go today!" "Now?" His eyelashes wrinkled in thought 'No, not today! It is too soon' Natalia took his hand. "I have prepared everything, first..." Before she completed the chant of guilt, he quickly denied "No, Natalia! Not today!" Shackled, her forehead crinkled "Why?" "Ugh, I have something to do!" Heightened senses, Natalia asked "Oh, and what is it?" On the spot, Draven squeezed his clever mind for ideas "Help… yes I have to he

    The wind seesawed the fluttering drapes, becoming the moonlight in and luminated the dark hall. Holographic lights refracted off his face, scrolling a finger down his com. A smile crept on his peaceful visage. Her heels clicked against the tiled floors, grew more pronounced. She sauntered closer to his recliner. Draping her porcelain arms around his neck, she purred. "Baby?" Her succulent lips traced his cheek, dropping kisses on his nape. Closing his eyelids, he hummed; ravishing her deletant touch. As soft and sweet as cotton candy. "So, what are you doing?" He said "Oh, not much" he took a glance of her, and continued "I was just texting Natalia" "Oh" she stayed silent; a storm brewed in her heart. Draven caught a spike of her emotions.

But in the end I didn't""So, your secret is safe with me?""Whatever"Draven mumbled to himself "It seems it will be better, if I tell Natalia about her before…things become more complicated""Eh?

    Hours prior to the night, Pigeons fluttered outside, and took flight off her balcony. Sun somersaulted inside her room, gently tracing against the curves and edges underneath the comfy duvet. Silent snores, a leg flipped over as she turned to her side. Evening light, caressed her sublime leg and took hold strands of her crimson locks, and followed in and tapped her eyelids awake. The blanket slid, she scooted to her pillows and yawned. She smacked her glistening lips and slouched her head on the headboard. ‘Now what should I do?’ She thought scratching her bedraggled hair. ‘What is today?’ she took a glimpse at her wrist, a holographic watch popped to her sleepy eyes. Realization dawned upon her mind, blossoming a cherry smile, radiating past her imperfect freckles dotted on her dimples. Seemingly perfect. She flipped out of her head and dashed to her mirror "Aii!!" She clutched her hairy mess and turned stiff. Her

"Oh" taking her eyes off her mirror, adding a final touch to her face. "How do I look? Are my freckles showing?" Sandy took a look from the rear mirror, said "You look good. Actually, I think you look good even without it" "Pff, you are joking" she dismissed her comment with a hand. Natalia said "Freckles aren't that pretty, I feel so… compared to those popular models or Android. They're too perfect" Sandy giggled, "That's the point, they are too perfect that it's unrealistic. I think your beauty lies in your imperfections" Natalia said "Nah, if what u said was true, then why are they so popular to the masses" Sandy replied "Popularity is nice but it never lasts long.

It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass. He tilted his head back, dishevelling his golden hair against the glass as his body spasmed into a chuckle. "Hehe, that was a good one.

The cube rolled and morphed into a comfy couch. He signalled for him to take a seat. Draven silently settled himself on the couch and listened.“Each of the Big five have their own speciality, like Luturian Alchemy Academy, which focuses on Alchemy. Sure, there are many alchemy-based universities, but what they lack is the quality of professors, lectures, or the ability to gain resources. Which will be used to nurture their seedlings and naturally bring them fame and reputation across the universe”“Entrium University is known as the number one on white paper because they normally recruit the children of the elite and have the backing of many high-net-worth individuals and families”“So, it is a playground of snotty br

"Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient.
