[COMPLETED] "Love can be cruel," he mutters. "I thought it would be the reason I would propose, but it's not. Love never wins, does it?" Cruel. Devious. Twisted love. Love can play games, and we just happen to be the pawns. We play our moves strategically like a game of chess, until it comes to this moment. We can let the world separate us, stop us, pull us apart. We can let this old love between us fray at the edges. If love is a game, then Cato and I are destined to lose. "You're right," I whisper. "But love still exists. Even for a moment." His knuckles brush against my waist, before he decides to pull me flush against his chest. We're close, and burning, and his breath feels like electricity on my skin. In his green eyes, I see remnants of the heavens, the northern auroras flashing illuminating inside of them. He holds a new world inside of him, and I long to be the first to discover it. Cato's nose brushes up against mine, the space between our mouths fading like stardust. "Even for a moment," he murmurs my words against me. At once, our tensions release. ─── ·𖥸· ─── One half of her heart belongs to the man from the stars. The other belongs to the man of smoke and ash.

However, she was different. She was a murderer. One day, she was sent on a mission with a guy named Adam. To kill. To murder. And the nightmare of killing starts... *** Taking a deep breath, I stared at Adam again, hoping he'd understand. Nodding at me, he urged me gently to continue. Nodding back, I continued, "Worse of all, every single piece of memory of how I killed them still haunts me. The blood. Their terrified faces. Their begging. Unfair killing. All these are just unfair games... and we are the players of this game." *** Don't judge my book based on its views and votes so far;) If you never read you never know.
