Dimmed Star: The Queen of Actica

Chapter 11: Grey eyed Hero

The two people with different past trauma stroll leisurely in the neighborhood street basking in the silence of the night provided and the cold air of autumn although not the freshest of it in the downtown where criminals can be found living their livelihoods or the entire city itself.

They walk slowly on the empty street letting the sound of their footsteps and their cold ragged breathing accompany them under the gloomy moonlight and after minutes of walking they reached a playground and sat on the bench without uttering a word to the other still deep in their thoughts.

"Am I a fool to not have seen through their kind and friendly act?"

"They hid it too well, people like them hide their true intentions towards others and are good at it" Melvil's deep voice answered the gloomy lady beside him.

"Am sorry for insisting you go outside"

"You did it in a goodwill, so it wasn't your fault" Serene quickly calm the young man without looking at where he was seated close to her as she can feel his unnatural complete presence and soothing aura. His presence always calm her pressuring mind, maybe because he was her saviour, or maybe he unconditionally cared either way, it's the only good thing in her empty cold life.

"The night breeze is cold, let's go back before you catch cold and I have school work to do" Melvil stood up and stretch his hand towards her and she look up to his outstretched toned hand and then to his face.

Melvil realised the strange questioning look Serene was giving him but didn't drop his hand, he tilt his head innocently asking her 'what's wrong' and she just sigh and took his big calluse warm hand against her cold small ones, she wonder how his is warm when they were outside together.

The feeling of electric spark from nerves when Serene's soft small hand touched his made Melvil smile breaking his cold poker face, the size, the softness of her hand against his big calluse one felt so right to him and he felt giddy inside, but lucky enough to him, the darkness hid his face away from her as he looked down and walk to their home.

'Home' he thought again and smile feeling his chest emerge with a type of warmth he never felt before, he never loved anyone apart from his brother and bestfriend, so he had no idea of this kind of feeling, but he knew, he's surely attracted towards the dimmed star Serene and not Serene Louis the star of the Industry.

"Baby shouldn't we just eliminate her out of the world? What if she do something even if it's in the future, her existence itself is a threat to us" the blond beautiful woman snuggled against the handsome dirty blond man said as she caresses his naked chest drawing small circles on it.

"You shouldn't worry love, she has nothing to go against us and no even evidence" he replied to her softly caressing her naked back as he stare at her green eyes with so much tenderness.

"But am paranoid baby, she's disturbing my mind" Rosy whined pouting her small pink lips and snuggling her naked body closer to his, he took in a deep breath and answer her almost breathless.

"I'll take care of her" and he dived in capturing her sinful lips devouring them into heated kiss that lead to a passionate night.

Under the pale moonlight, a lone figure of a lady walk slowly with wary eyes darting around the empty quite street with only the sound of her footsteps and crunch dry leaves that haven't been hugged by dew. She came to stand at the end of the street where the darkness outstretched it blanket covering everywhere from the eyes of the human except for the mercy of the moonlight that guides he who walk in the dark.
