The two ladies in the hotel room . loud argument drew the attention of the inhabitants of the other rooms but who had the audacity to go knock . unlike these ladies , they were common peasants , they were too scared to even make a sound as they feared for their precious lives
She took a long sigh , " After finding out the truth , I can't just sit back and act like nothing has happened "
" I'll have to go "
" Common , you can't possibly do that " she turned away from her sister , conflicted in her thoughts on how to make her understand, " I know not. . " Word's were stuck in her throat as pain plummeted her brain .
She couldn't hold herself as everything turned to Shadow causing her to fall in a sink hole , the last words she heard was " This is not Love "
*******************
Thomas had to leave his study to check who was at his living room at such an unholy hour . Yes He had People come over at such hours for comfort , confessing their terrible deeds that gave them insomnia.
Humans , they loved to hear that they weren't the only ones , that it wasn't their fault . The Devil , He took all the blames for things he didn't do with his hands . Thomas knew just how to coax them , he knew how to enslave them .
considering the Cold , fog and darkness outside .People never came on days like this , they were scared of invisible beings .
" Oh , what a soul " He sighed cause he could already feel the heavy burdens that brought the person . A young , tall , sun skinned brown lady . He could feel it so strong as his spirit communicated to him
Her sobs were so light but disheartening " You must be the Therapist, Thomas" , she murmured in between sobs
" Yes , I am" Thomas said from the other side of the room. He hesitated as he found the voice rather familiar , " Go ahead and tell me what's troubling you "
" my heart is full but my mouth lacks the words to speak . And out of the abundance of my heart , this book speaks better " she sobbed louder as she slipped the Blue big book
The Blue book was one that could pique the interest of a human just by looking at it . It's ancient style gave off secrets only found in Historical records while the soft pages countered the first impression . Whoever made this book must've been born in and out of good Art , it was the contradictions for nature
" And this book contains ?"
" It contains whatever should keep us awake every single day "
"Do you really . . . . . ."
" Yes , I do believe in the heavenly punishment " she cut into his words abruptly, " but I don't think heaven's punishing the others . Why am I the only one having sleepless nights"
"The Others" Thomas said under his breath , there was more to this conversation and this young lady was keeping him on his toes
Silence reigned over the place , and every passing moment made Thomas want to tear down the blind separating them . . . But He had to wait patiently for her to give him the permission to go through that book . Those were the RULES
After what seemed like forever , a sigh escaped her Rosy red parted lips then moving the blinds ;Even with the blinds aside , He couldn't see her face cause it was covered
but somehow he felt a certain familiarity
No . It can't be her , No
she said " you can go ahead " , a smile crept on her lips behind the dark veil
It was against the rules and the Thomas' displeased face showed it all ; she was crossing the line . People who came for confessions were not allowed to see his face and vice versa but he didn't know why he was being lenient on this woman
" You . . " Thomas tried to say something but she cut into his words
" No , you don't need this blinds and you'll thank me later " Her Rosy lips slowly curved into a wicked smile and those pitiful eyes that shed tears were lost in the browness of hate
Thomas stared lost , something hypnotized him when he stared into those eyes . He knew her or maybe not but He just couldn't wrap his head around it . He took one look at the Book and back up but the owner of it had just disappeared . Then back at the Stranger's book he stared
Thomas was furious , veins popped up his face and his green eyes were stained red from anger .
" How come " He threw the book across the room and knocked his table over
" Are you Okay Dear " Mrs Moreen Hanson entered the office
" I will be " an evil smirk crept on his face as he reached out for his hunting gun
" It's too early to go hunting " She said
Seeing this He smiled viscously " Don't worry , I'm hunting here " and with that he walked out of room
He walked into the living room to see a slender , graceful figure in the dark and by graceful , I mean Royal Perfection. This woman's cologne took him places he had been , would be right to say something about this Stranger was too familiar and he wasn't wrong at all .
" Thomas " She said in whispers as she walked out of the shadows into the light , two steps away from him . " Did you read my little Book ? "
" Welcome Sapphire or should we call you Stephanie? . You came just in time " The One he had been looking for . She was out to destroy him
" I thought as much " She said
Walking up to him " you're a man of Principles . You've always warned me about reading a Stranger's Book "
" It might get you killed " they both said in unison
" You know better than anyone how much I hate people that make me break my Principles "
arranging his shirt properly , she said " I'm sure you missed me Zayn"
" You made the worst decision by coming here Steph. Being Silent would've guaranteed your safety " He said
Standing on her toes , she whispered in his ear " I can never be Silent "
Fury built up in his eyes . In seconds he lifted her up by her neck with his huge palms .
" I made all these things happen by doing so many things even if it wasn't convenient and I'll make it stand even if it means you sleeping forever " he threw her across the room like a piece of paper.
Mrs Moreen who had been staring at the book wondered what could be in it that'll make Thomas , a reserved man so angry . She found herself crawling real close to the book and as she opened it , Her life was about to change forever .
