To the Dark of Nothingness

Chapter 5

____

I went inside Little Miss Sweets' store and bought a few snacks to bring back home. Who doesn't love chocolate?... Maybe I'm getting too addicted to sweets and try to focus on eating healthier next time?

As I was going through each aisle with my basket of treats and sweets, I kept checking the wooden clock hanging on the entrance. Aramis and I are supposed to meet at 2 PM, and it's only 1:45 PM.

Why am I getting so anxious? I'm only meeting my best friend, who is the High Lord of Psyionre, no biggie.

As I grabbed the bag of treats, on my way out, a black envelope appeared inside the paper bag. This must be from Aramis. I set down the bag and opened the letter without anyone seeing.

Sloane,

I'm on my way to Little Miss Sweets, do you need anything? Whisper the words you wish to say and the paper will vanish in your hands and deliver the words you shall play.

Ami.

My fluttered like a sparking light bulb... I'm already at Little Miss Sweets, you idiot.

I whispered the words I needed to say—saying that he's a total idiot, and that I'm already at Little Miss Sweets—and like he said, the paper vanished in my hands.

Well, I guess I should just wai–

No time for waiting, because as I was standing there like a stick, I saw his black cloak and hood covering his whole body, as he enters the store while reading the letter. His head lifts up and our eyes locked with each other. I ran up to him and hugged him tight despite himself covered by the cloak.

"Hey, woah. Slow down or you'll blow my cover!" He whispered harshly but sweetly. I giggled in response. Ami always snuck out of the castle and let his older sisters take charge of the place, that's how we were always able to meet without his guards sending a search party for their High Lord. But when we meet, he always wears his charcoal cloak and wears a mask so people won't recognize him. He'd dressed up all horrendous like and would pretend to be a homeless person and I would play along, pretending to help him.

Little do they know, the High Lord of Psyionre was always visiting the kingdom.

"I've already bought some snacks, do you want anything? I'll pay for it."

With the man of his stature, I know he's filthy rich, which I don't care about. Treating people stuff or treating people kindly is my way of being a nice person. Not everyone can be as privileged as he is, but I still want to treat him.

"Uh, yeah sure."

After I paid for his blue fizz pop, we ventured together to our secret place deeper into the Mystic Forest. We've hidden secret landmarks where it can't be spotted to the naked eye but only we can see it. The Mystic Forest is a beautiful place, and a very special one because not only it's great source of food and water, but also an amazing place to hide your valuables.

As we were walking passed one of our landmarks, we heard a low growling in the further back of the forest. Aramis held my hand as we snuck passed by whoever it was. That's when we came closer for a better view and saw a girl, bare naked and bended over a tree, moaning softly, as she was being pounded from behind by...

... Jacin Vawn.

Jac.
