He whispered tauntingly, leaning in closer to breathe cynically and I could practically hear amusement in his tone. I say nothing. Attempting to control my breathing and not break into deeper panic as my lips stayed sealed with his touch on them, slowly dragging the sensation down over my chin where he continued to smear the crimson blood. "C'mon, I know you're itching to talk back... or have I finally silenced you, hm?" He chuckled through his taunting. "Tell me Princess... are we gonna have a problem?" Slowly, I shook my head from side to side. It caused him to squeeze my chin, all of his fingertips now on me staining the imprint of his touch onto my face. He shifted his touch south, cupping the side of my neck and I squirmed against the wall at the feeling of his handprint on a sensitive area, his head moved away from my opposing ear to look down at me once again. "This is our little secret, yeah? I wouldn't want you to be the next one tied to that chair with your blood splattered on the floor." - Started: April 2024 Finished:

"The words hung in the air like a heavy fog. Kahlani couldn't shake the feeling that there was something huge, something that could change everything about the rivalry between their groups, something dangerous-and she was only catching a sliver of it. She turned to the girls, who were busy packing up their things, trying to act like nothing was happening. But her eyes were wide, filled with the weight of what she'd just overheard. They had to know. They needed to know. But what was it? What were the boys hiding? And why did it feel like the entire world could change in the blink of an eye?" Kahlani-better known by fans as one-fourth of Quintessence-a girl group that was slowly taking over the world. It was a whole new world for them. They were everywhere-on magazine covers, in small interviews, at sold-out shows. The world was watching, waiting for their next move. It felt like they'd gone from being just another band to the band overnight. Kahlani had dreamed of this life, of being on stage, of performing in front of thousands. The girls toured alongside another band called, The Echo. Including Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Harry Styles. The rivalry between the two groups was intense and made every social media outlet go crazy. It wasn't about how good the music was. No, it was all about who could outshine the other. Who could dominate the stage, the headlines, the hearts of the fans. But after months of touring together, the girls stumbled upon a revelation about The Echo-a secret so shocking, it rattled their very foundation. Whispers of the truth spread like wildfire, but no one could quite grasp the weight of what they'd uncovered. The revelation felt unreal, something so unthinkable that it left them all paralyzed, unable to process the consequences of what they now knew.

I hate her, I hate her, I fucking hate her. If she died right now, I wouldn't care. My main concern would be how I would get my money for this stunt. I have not an ounce of a feeling for this girl in front of me, yet I can't move under her angry gaze. I wouldn't dare. "Fuck you." I whisper out a pitiful insult to get the last word. "Fuck you." She replies just as quietly, taking a deep inhale as she holds our eye contact. She grinds her jaw as she stays looking at me, eyes scanning over my face with a huff. I hold my same scowl, still not backing away from her. I'm stuck in my place, my face not even an inch away from hers. I don't know how it happened, who started it, or what, but before I know it, her lips are on mine and I'm shoving her body backwards into the shelf. - Aubrey Hart and Harry Styles, costars in the movie "Forbidden Connection", hate each other.
