"I LOVE YOU." I said as the rain soaked through my clothes but I didn't care. My heart pounding louder than the thunder rumbling above us. I took a breath, my voice, shaky, but determined. "I loved you since the day I found you in that dark horrific alley... wounded" I smiled eager to hear the words I long for. He looked away, his jaw clenched. For a moment, all I could hear was the sound of rain hitting the pavement. Then, he finally spoke, his voice barely louder than a whisper. "Don't" His honey brown eyes meet mine, as I hear the coldness in his voice. "What..." I responded as my tears began to form, but still had a smile on my face.

City of Lintunericului by Gwenlily
45 parts Complete Mature
Lintunericului is ruled by the biggest mafia it has ever come across, Rome. With a weak government and the mafias running all over the city, newer ones crawling from the sewers everyday, it is not safe for one to walk the streets alone, even live alone. Doors and windows are shut and locked securely before sundown and numerous deaths are reported on the news every week, robberies and beatings even higher. Countless years have been wasted trying to cleanse the streets of the city of the mafia and gangs, but to no avail. The people lost all hope for a better city when the Rome leader got onto the council, controlling the chairmen with an iron fist, having a say in every little thing that happened. But, despite Rome being the biggest mafia in the city, they could not even keep their own boss's son safe. Young Prince disappeared at the age of seven, shortly when his training had begun and reappeared half-dead a year later on his father's doorstep, a gag on his mouth and his hands and feet tied so tightly, blood dripped from the wounds. It was a warning to Boss Hejen, that despite them being the biggest mafia, they were not the strongest, their rival successfully kidnapped his son and returned him a year later all while leaving no traces. They could not find Prince in one year and the only way they got him back was because the Wolves had returned him. To keep his son from ever being harmed again Hejen made the decision to join the council to have more control, to show his power to his rivals. The night of his son's return he sent out his strongest men and the water in the drains overflowed with blood that night from the slaughter of many Wolves members, a silent warning to never mess with them again.

Am I . . . In love? Camilla asked herself incredulously. Is this what love feels like? That burning sensation akin to the feeling I had when I wanted to snap his neck a few months back? I feel like I'm being torn apart . . . * * * He had gone searching for true love, but she returned alone . . . with a bloody wedding ring wrapped in her fist, and his crown atop her head. She had gone searching for justice, but had not expected justice to be pursuing her. In a land still young enough to rely on the aid of the gods, Camilla makes it her mission to bring the family who murdered her brother to justice, even if it means sacrificing some of her own morals along the way. When she realizes no one is willing to help her or her cause, Camilla begins to wonder whether seeking justice is the right thing to do at all, as it seems to lead to a never ending cycle of unwarranted vengeance. Soon, Camilla finds herself laying down all her associations to the law of the land, and seeking out new ways to tear apart the family that caused her so much pain before her time is up and Camilla herself is called to justice.
