Life is given for free but happiness comes with a cost that many can't afford to pay.

                 ***********
Even with the dark grey clouds that hovered over the vast sky and the dim light provided by the fire torch that was on the verge of being blown off by the wind, he could still see the glimmer in her eyes. The very same glimmer that appeared in those brown eyes everytime she was happy and for some reason, tonight he was unable to resist hir urges to steal a part of her.

She was still standing by the door waiting for him to leave but he had not taken more than three steps before he halted and turned. His features were darker in contrast to the white shirt that he wore and the look on his face was a predatory one.

Instead of getting scared, she watched him take the three stairs that led to her room's door and he was a few inches away from her, he finally spoke up.

"If there is one thing that I hate, it's having regrets and I know that I will regret if I do not do this."
 A part of her was confused by his words and another part felt like she knew what he meant by those words. Before she even had a chance to contemplate on what he had just said, he leaned closer, curled his index finger on her pointed chin and tilted her in an angle such that she could feel his cold breath on her face that caused a shiver to run down her spine.

Like she had been hypnotized, all she could do was to stare in those obsidian eyes that had held her captive. "This is a mistake that I want to commit again and again." His breath fanned on her face and goosebumps formed on her skin. Not because of the wind, but because of the effect he had on her.
 If it was some time before, she would have probably pushed him away or maybe escaped but as time had passed by, her feelings towards him had changed...

At a small footpath that happened to be in the middle of a bush, three girls walked as fast as they could.

Princess Lilith was already out of breath but still, she managed not to be left behind.

"We should be quick, I'm sure that they are already looking for you." Mandy who was a step ahead with Lilith quickly trailing behind her commented while turning to look at Lilith who almost bumped into her.

"Yes. My sister is right. We wouldn't like it if you got caught." Mandy's sister agreed. Though the girl was younger, she seemed to be more mature when it came to how she looked. The bruises on her face were still prominent but she tried to hide them with her blonde hair that was let free such that it hovered on her face.
