Slowpaced Stories

Life is like a rollercoaster, it has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride... When life's rollercoaster throws you off track, do you scream, or do you hold on tight? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth: one suffocating under the weight of failure, the other nursing a heart shattered into pieces. Two strangers caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. But if their paths converge-bringing their emotions and differences-will they find solace in each other, or will those very differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ GENRES: General Fiction • Literary Fiction • Contemporary • New Adult • Realistic Fiction ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story is a work of imagination, entirely original and fictional.

DISCLAIMER: This story is the redrafted and republishment of my first story Coordinates. THEA. THEA is the concentration of aptitude from memory, mathematics and estimation. It is a form of energy that creates memory slots as coordinates all over the world and across space. It allows people to travel "anywhere" and "everywhere" as long as people are generating it. The concept of THEA, which is basically the concept of thought, was discovered to stem mostly from anxiety. For as long as a living being is capable of a thought process, THEA is released into a subspace in the network of coordinates all over the world. Generally, anyone who is proficient with memory retention, numbers and probabilities has lots of potential to be a highly capable user of THEA. Our story precedes five million years worth of evolution prior to the discovery of THEA. The protagonist teenager, Anastasia, embarking on a mission to the reason behind her mother's death and her last wish for her to attend a school. A school for gifted individuals. Trained to be an assassin from a young age Anastasia leaves no room for ill judgement or unnecessary action but as time progresses, she begins to learn anew what it means to live for yourself and to live for others

*Editing underway;)* "Did you really believe this was over?" His slow, monotoned chuckle was a mockery to the weak flame of my being. "You made yourself believe that just because you managed to evade our defenses, that this was over- that we'd simply give up?" I wanted to bite the hand that stroked my cheek with a sweet and gentle air - my eyes doing me the favor of glaring at his own pair of deep teal in reaction to the numbing buzz of electricity that left me defenseless. "Do you...believe I will?" My soft words drip with many emotions and the male simply smiles, offering some semblance of space as he straightens and stands soon after - leaving me to stay backed against the small corner. "If you think I won't...d-do it again- find a way out again, you're wrong." "Not even a full twenty-four hours...and you already sound so defeated. You tremble at the meer memory of us- of my touch. You try to save a brave face yet your words hold no defiance, shake with each breath you try to hide." My eyes found solace in the smooth tiled floor - my frame pushing myself to stand despite his close presence. "You do not scare me...Kaito." I protest with calmly kept words and the male adjusts his simple gray vest. "Not yet...perhaps." His smile was collected and I slowly exhale as his eyes travel across my collarbone and up to meet my gaze. "Chin up, my stupid girl, it is now you must look forward. You had your time. Two years of freedom. You had your chance to get it out of your system- were even given a little extra time out of the goodness of our hearts. But now, that time is up." He steps forward and my ground wanted to crumble as he brushes back my hair - his touch gentle. "Are you ready to behave? I know the others are just dying to see you again." ~ [This story is a sequel to Maskcover's 'Infatuation'] ~HR~ #14 slowpaced #14 derexreader #76 tension #100 longstory #10 yanderestory #36 longstory
