Kyros

I hurry to my meeting with Sef in the library. He's my jack. Instinctively I touch the K on my neck. A tattoo representing how high I am on the chain of command. King.

I scan the library. Coming across the most prettiest girl, the most breathtaking human my eyes have ever seen.

Her soft lush brown hair carelessly cascading over her. Her big brown eyes screaming eternal youth. Innocence. Something lacking in my life. Her honey eyes glistening in the sun hit them perfectly.

She's skimming a book. As a girl comes up to her and taps her shoulder. Her eyes lighten up when she is met by a familiar face. They lean against the wall, and start whispering. Her friend says something funny and a small giggle echoes across the room. Her eyes widening at the sound and covering her mouth.

She glances at me.

My eyes fixated on her hand, a gleaming object on her finger.

A beautiful ring.

Oh.

I turn away. I hear the clicks of her heels tap away. I turn again and she's gone. I look up at the clock. Tapping my mates. We head out.
