Akara Stone. The one who's said to have no emotions, the one who strikes fear into the hearts of the pure. The one who can't love. She's the assistant to Satan himself; some say she's worse than him. They're right. When she's sent to do Satan's dirt...

Akara's Look ^^^^ Akara's POV; - - My family. My love. My life. Everything. I've only been in the room with Rosette for barely 30 minutes when she brings up a few of the only things I care about. Honestly, I'm just sitting here, my mouth hanging open and my dark brown eyes widened. "Akara, you're leaving. I see how you feel about Collin but it's never going to happen. You're just a sad, evil girl who belongs in hell. Well, perhaps that's why your family left you as well." The older blonde spat. What did I ever do to her?! I mean, I may not be from heaven, but still, I haven't exactly been rude to her. She even brought up Collin. Why does it affect me so much? I don't like Collin. I can't like Collin. If I don't like him, why does it hurt so much when she says that? I want to fire back at her, but I have to do this for Cade. However I won't sit there and take this as well. I can't. Tears begin to fill my eyes and I glare at her. "I never did anything to you. If you think I'm bad now, then you just wait, Rosette. You haven't seen anything yet." I growled threateningly before standing to my feet and bolting out the door. Catching a swift glance of Collin's concerned gaze, tears begin to stream down my face, clouding my vision. I make it outside when I feel someone grab my wrist. Spinning on my heels to face them, I meet eyes with Collin. It was then and there that I let my walls down. Right now, all of my emotions spilled out. Being strong was great, and I grew to learn how to conceal my emotions quickly, but I didn't want to this time. I felt safe with Collin. So, I allowed the tears to drip from my eyes and onto my cheeks. Eventually we get in he can and reach his home. Cat isn't here, I think. I didn't mind, though. Soon, I feel a tug on my hand and realize Collin hasn't released my hand ever since we left. He lead me to his room and gave me some of his comfortable clothes to wear while his chest is bare and he's wearing a pair of shorts. I allow him to drag me onto the bed with him and we lay there as I think about the previous events. Not long after, I feel my eyelids growing heavy and I let them flutter shut, sleep consuming me. - Morning - The once dim room was now filled with the bright light of the sun. It was morning, but I didn't want to leave Collin's comfortable grasp. 'You have to, Akara.' I thought to myself before silently standing to my feet. He stayed sleeping in the bed while I made my way to the nearest bathroom. I turn on the shower, putting it on warm before making sure I have towels and some clothes for the day. Seeing as I'm all prepared, I undress and step into the shower. This gives me a lot of time to think as the warm water droplets trickle down my back. A while after, I'm finally scrubbed clean. I originally hoped to scrub away what Rosette said, but I couldn't. It was hard. Now, I knew it'd probably stick with me forever. At least I showered, though. Today, I was wearing a black long sleeve shirt with a few rips in it that stopped right above my belly button with light ripped jeans. I simply styled my hair up into a messy bun. My appearance was the least of my worries. As I entered my own room, I saw a familiar face. Cat. She sat there, on the edge of my bed, gazing in the other direction. I could tell she had something on her mind, I believe about Collin and I. Did she know what happened with Rosette? What happened last night?! Putting these questions to rest, I stroll up to her silently. "Hello." I greet, breaking the silence. She turns to face me. "Hey, Akara..." the younger girl responded distantly. What was wrong? Maybe I'll be nicer. "So, what brings you here?" I question, taking a seat next to her. Cat released a deep sigh. "I know you and Collin didn't notice me last night, but I was home. I'm sorry about whatever happened that made you so upset like that. It must've been really bad." She spoke, and I froze. Not wanting to speak, I nod my head stiffly and allow her to continue. The girl inhaled before readying to speak up again. "Well, anyway...I just wanted to tell you that I saw you and Collin. He may not know it yet, but he likes you, Akara. A lot. He really does. I've never seen him like that, it's more than I crush, I think. Please, if you don't like him like that then I think you should go. Collin's a good person, he doesn't deserve the pain of chasing someone who doesn't even like him back. Something tells me you feel the same way, but I just had to talk to you. I'll see you around, Akara." She offered a kind smile and before I realized, she was gone. My heart was beating rapidly, pounding against my chest. This was a good thing, wasn't it? Collin likes me back. I'm sure this is where any girl would be jumping with joy, but I was nervous. He lived in heaven, I lived in hell. What if I like him more? What if we don't work out? What if⎯okay, wait. I'm going to let myself be happy about this. Collin and I will worry about the what-if's later. Right now, I have a major victory on my hands. Collin Jacobs likes me. - - Author's Note: Helloooo! So, I'm currently working on getting this book published, actually.
