I could see the reflection of my frightened face in his ice ocean eyes. So close, they are even more beautiful, with those long dark eyelashes that won't even move. He won't even blink. I felt the warmness of his close body, and the hot blood that was getting out of his thigh. I couldn't even struggle, I was immobilized. Physically and mentally. There was nothing left for me to do. 

"l won't let you get away." - The blue-eyes told me once again.

A force above them all. Standing between her, and the door to freedom, he doesn't seem to leave any witnesses alive.

The reality around succumbing, Asha suddenly becomes the most wanted person in the entire metropolis. The truth behind the city being more tangled than everyone has thought, with every step proving the reality to be fake, Asha is forced to join a mysterious organization, people who are against the whole world.

I could feel just how wet I was. "I wasn't dreaming." "Bullshit, 𝘚𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦. Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" His breath was hot on my neck, my body reacting instinctively as my back arched and my ass pushed tighter against his hard cock. He groaned in response, his body going stiff.

"What is your name?" I asked, staring into her doe-like eyes. Almost immediately her face twisted in horror. Her eyes switched back and forth frantically like an exit would suddenly appear out of thin air. The sides of her lips turned downward like it was taking everything in her not to burst into a sob. Sure, she was scared--that much was expected-- but I could see the anger. I could see she was furious with me. Interesting. I thought to myself. As much as I wanted to explore how far I could push her until she retaliated; time was of the essence right now. I was staring at an unrecognizable girl. A mistake like this will get a lot of people killed. "I asked you a fucking question, didn't I? I don't like repeating myself." I growled as I grabbed her small face in my hand, making her eye shut in pain. "Harley. Harley Anderson," she spat softly like an angered kitten. Harley. I let her name roll over my tongue for a while. Every second that passed made my vision go black with anger. I looked away from her face before releasing the hold I had on her. I felt my jaw clench in anger and my fist flex in readiness as I stared off in the distance, trying to control my anger from making me lash out. However, I couldn't control myself.
