Interlude

by illbetheLevitoyourdoeyedEren

Cold…” He can see puffs of breath coming from his own mouth. It was pitch black but it wasn’t either, some strange lighting coming from nowhere making him able to see nothing and everything at the same time. It was cold, a moment passed confusion finally settling in on what was going on, he felt himself blink in the darkness then a smooth voice rang from nowhere and everywhere of the dark abyss he was in. “My prince… it is finally the time…”

I can feel myself

by mimingemotion

It finally became a genuine concern when he started to nod off after only eight glasses of alcohol. Rosaria, who had been his choice of drinking buddy that night, tilted her head at him questioningly. “Rough week, Captain? I seem to remember you used to be able to drink me under the table.” Her periwinkle eyes were searching, and he forced himself to sit up straight and choke out a convincing laugh, the shock of the situation sobering him up slightly. “You could say so.” He shrugged, downing the rest of his drink and looking away, trying to calm his rabbiting heart.

Fallen Angel

by LostintheDreams

...It’s just a game.I liked games. Ever since more people were finding out about me, it was easier to let my guard down.It wasn’t that I was too trusting, at least, I didn’t think it was - it was just that I had more people in which to trust. And I liked it.I liked playing and laughing and having fun. Who wouldn’t?So some thought I was a big child for it?Others knew me better.Maybe Truth or Dare was the wrong game though.Maybe these were the wrong people to play it with. Maybe, somewhere, I had made the wrong decision…And now maybe I was going to die for it.Maybe I’d get others killed along with me. That was the last thing I ever wanted....
