Chapter 12

Inhale....

Exhale...

Inhale...

Exhale....

Inhale...

Exhale....

Anna was standing motionless outside of Palladium, clenching suffocatingly tight the bars of a tiny, balcony-like, lifeless place, just in front of the navy back-door of the luxurious club. She was continuously whispering and repeating the above, conversely pair of words in order of a, possibly, hopeful clearing of her already cloudy mind or even the total emptiness of it. If that was necessary.

But... the loud madly music from the speakers were reverberating in such a wicked and smugly manner, not letting her to complete her pathetic ways of relaxing.

The creepy uneasiness and anxiousness that had already inhabited every inch of her body,  never left her blood system. Never left her restless mind at easy. Like it was their purpose and life mission to become a permanent part of her. To achieve a permanent spot in her already confusing and mysterious life. Like it was haunting her...

Deep deep inside her...

She closed, tightly, her eyes and dramatically sighed, as if those disturbing and heavy feelings would find their way out of her body, alongside with her exaggerated sigh. But with no luck. No luck at all.

It was like it couldn't be helped anymore... Like it had already stuck inside her. Damaging her insides. Eating her...

Consuming her...

Annabella was hardy focusing at the dark, eerily soundless place around her. The only thing, consuming her mind, were her helpless ways of relaxing and unstressing her inner cloudy self.

Her way of gaining her control back...

All those emotions had weakened her self-esteem and control and she was slowly feeling the energy inside her, taking over her entire frame. She was sensing her own energy, wanting and screaming at her to set it free. Out of the skin-bounds of her delicate body that was constantly kept and out of her overflowing mind.

She was trying to relax.... To control it... To keep it inside...

But those futile attempts of hers were interrupted by a wicked deep male voice that made, her tightly closed eyes to, instantly, to pop open and focus at the owner.

A voice that held mischief and amusement at the same time.

Wickedness and challenge.

Smugness and enjoyment.

Enjoyment that not only made Anna shiver at the mere sound of it but also extremely disgusted at the same time. She was experiencing a mix of emotions that were slowly worsening her self control by increasing her anger and annoyance.

It was never a good sign...

" Well well well....  ", he started," Why such a beautiful girl like you is alone outside? A young lady, alone in a dark place... It's never a good sign. "

It was him...

The creepy brown haired guy from earlier. From the bar. The one with the disgusting and chilling dark gaze. The one who was watching her with such a mischievous and threatening look that made her blood run cold. Her veins froze.

Anna watched him with a surprised look, not wanting to break eye contact, before that same look turned into an emotionless cold hard raw glare, silently threatening him to leave.
