                 They say love isn't a sin and yet there is still so-called 'forbidden love'. Perhaps it's not love at all? Or is it? Is this permanent or just a temporary? A fake or real one? There's so many questions lingering inside my head, especially when it comes to the word love. I don't even know what love is, nor a fake one.

My eyes fixated on the man in front of me, looking down on his eyes, I can see how his iris enlarged, and reminded me of someone I know. With him kneeling down in front of me, chained connected from the brick old walls around us– from his arms down to his knees to around his waist. He remained looking up to me. Despite how injured his face and body are, he still managed to keep that foolish smile on his face, making my eyes narrowed, "I hate you" I stated but he just chuckled in response, "Your eyes are so enchanting" he replied as he tilted his head. "Keep me chained, I beg you" he whispered before starting to laugh, like a maniac. My eyes slightly widened as he started to disappear; from his feet up to his waist, till up to his arms then to him, completely disappearing in a thin air. The chain clunks down on the floor making it echoes in the whole room. I forgot that he's a smoke. Mierda

"I won't leave" I heard a manly voice behind me, I felt both of his hands trailed on my shoulders, keeping me facing the wall. His touch is surprisingly gentle yet firm,

"And why is that?"

"Why not?

"You're free to run now"

"I don't wanna"

"Missed the chance"

"I will miss the chance if I leave." He murmured as he leaned closer to my ears, sniffing down my scent as he chuckled softly, "You're..addicting" he whispered as his lips made contact on my neck. I remained staring at the wall, blankly, "Let go" I demanded, it is now low and firm. He hummed in response, not even bothered by my words as he continued lingering his hands on mine, provoking my mind to stir up with the thought I wanted him to turn into ashes. Lifting my left hand up, I placed it on his right hand which is resting on my shoulder, "Burn" I whispered. Before he even processed what I just said, his hand started to flare up making him depart from me as he tried to kill it.

Who needs love, when I have wealth and power?

Turning to face him, my eyes fixated on the sight of him burning, screaming for help. He's a smoke, he can transform as if it's fire, of course, yet too bad, it's not like the same fire he came from or got his powers from. It'll drain and absorb you, taking all the energy and powers you have. I guess I'm a little bit special.

A mischievous smile crept on my lips as I looked down on the sight of him slowly turning into ashes, the sight was pleasing. His eyes fixated on mine, making my eyebrows raise. Those eyes of his changed, from foolish to frightened one–it's fascinating and satisfying–. Leaning down towards the man, I stared into his eyes with empty look as I watched his suffering, "You will look better hanging on my wall" I whispered as I flashed a warm smile before switching it to cold one when I heard his response, "You witch" he uttered before fully dissolving into ashes.

"Where is he?!". The voices echoed in the whole place as heavy footsteps started rushing towards here and there. It's terrifying how they exchanged glances every time they watched their prey executed with satisfaction in their eyes. They're wild animals that are only shaped as humans, a twisted goblin, and behemoths. With that laughter of theirs, you'll just prefer to listen in gunshots just to be deafened. How gruesome.

A lifeless body fell down on the floor before the loud bang I heard, peeking from the small hole, my eyes widened in terror as I saw my mother on the floor, open eyes yet they remained dilated, not even moving, just remained still. Covering my mouth, I forced to close my eyes shut as I faced away from the chilling sight, resting my back on the wall. I let the tears down, it kept streaming down my face as I crouched on the cold floor, trying to unhear their laughter.

"Majesty will be happy to know this" I heard one of the men say as they chuckle darkly, opening my eyes, I listened intently to their words.

"I can't believe her Majesty would do such a thing–"

"Shh, someone might hear you; you might be beheaded!"

I listened to the two arguing, looking down on my feet, I bit my lip as anger started to rise within me, "They'll pay for this" I whispered as I clenched my hand.

"You'll pay for this"
