I stood there in wonder for a good minute. The snow reached my ankles, and it was cold. Freezing. I looked down at my feet and realized I forgot to wear my shoes. I can feel my feet turning purple from the cold.
“I apologize for this,” he said before pulling me off the ground and carried me back to the room where I was staying at. It's only now that I noticed how dark the room was. Only a sliver of light from the small gaps and cracks of the made-up wall could illuminate the room. I watched him while he tried to warm up a cloth. Once he felt it was ok, he turned to me but froze when he realized I was watching him. He cleared his throat before walking towards me. He placed the warm cloth on my once cold feet. I sighed in relief, with the extra warmth enveloping my feet. We sat there in awkward silence while avoiding gazes.
I already forgave him because I just want to mend things immediately, especially that he’s been nothing but a nice friend. It&rsquo
I woke up with an arm resting above my stomach and a head snuggled at the crook of my neck.Just kidding.I woke up to the two bickering in the kitchen.“I told you to peel half of the potatoes!” Aziel said, exasperated, looking like he’s done with Jayce.“I just did! I see nothing wrong with that!” He said while gesturing at the pot, offended by the way Aziel’s treating him.“I meant half of the number of potatoes that we have. Not literally half of each potato!” Aziel exclaimed while he pulled out a half-skinned potato. I let out a small chuckle at the scene I woke up to. They both turned their heads to me. I lowered my head immediately to hide my face. Sometimes I look good after waking up, and most of the time not. I’m not sure how I look today, but I ain’t risking it. This face is not really something you’d want to see first thing in the morning.“Now you woke Maisi
“Have you seen a girl—” I didn’t need to hear the rest. Out of panic, I looked for a place where I could hide. The bathroom would be too obvious. The treasure chest is too shallow. I looked at the big ass jar in the room's corner. I opened the lid and saw that it was half filled with hay. This would do! I tried my best to reach the opening as the height of the jar is the same as mine. I closed the lid and dug through the hay until I buried myself at the bottom. Just then, I heard the door open. I tried to hold and even out my breath.“I told you officer; it would be impossible for a girl to live with us. That would be indecent,” I heard Aziel’s voice, along with multiple footsteps, entering the house. I heard the officer that tried to kill me scoff.“As if. It’s not like you low-life pigs would care for some decency. For all I know, you might hide her for yourselves to enjoy later. You do know that if we found out t
“Train me.”“No.”“Why not.”“Because you’re a girl.” I glared at him because of that. He seemed frightened for a second before composing himself and continued to feed the chickens they managed to keep.“Why,” I narrowed my eyes at him while he tried to busy himself with tending the animals.“You’re supposed to be protected.”“Why.”“You’re a lady. A lady must not lift a finger.”“Why.”“Because it’s the right thing!” Jayce exclaimed, growing exasperated.“Why,” He huffed and tried to escape. For my personality of the day, I was a needy b*tch that won’t stop until she gets what she wants. Usually, I would’ve stopped when he said his reason (probably because I’ll be too frustrated with the misogynistic thinking to continue pestering him). But f
<TW: Mild mention of death>I sat there for a while, rethinking my decisions. Regret, hurt, confusion, sadness, hate, deceived, cold. The coldness hurt. My whole body feels numb. It feels like I’ve been sitting here for hours. Maybe I am. The sun is no longer visible, and everything else is dark. The only light comes from their house.They must be comfortable there.Suddenly, all of my hurt and sadness were pushed back in the farthest corner of mine. Anger and hate replaced them. Even if they can’t see me, as if they’ll bother to check on me, I still glared at the house. Hoping that my glare would penetrate the door just to make them aware of how angry I am.I really hope they run out of water in the middle of taking a bath and soap got into their eyes. Oh wait, that would be impossible. They bathe in the rivers, damn it. I can't wish for rivers to run out!I just hope that... that a bed bug would b
“M-Maisie? Are you alright?” Suddenly, I heard Aziel outside. This snapped me out of my thoughts. I continued to twist and turn to my seat. That was the best way to get out of the rope. If you can, try to untie the knot.“Oh… O-okay… You were quiet for a while there…” This made me stop squirming and looked at the entrance of the house. How did he know?“Where you here the whole time?” I asked, immediately regretting speaking to him. Dang it. I broke the 'not talking to them to show how bad their actions affected me'streak. I heard him take a sharp inhale.“I—Ah—" He stuttered for a moment before letting out a deep breath. I heard a small thump on the wooden wall. He must’ve leaned or intentionally hit his head. I hoped for the latter one. I almost missed hearing when he let out a soft "Yes."“Why?” I didn’t mean to, but somehow, my voice came out small
I woke up, barely breathing. The first thing I saw as soon as I opened my eyes was a foot shamelessly resting on top of my chest. I glared at the foot, planning to tickle it, butI threw the idea away, seeing that the said foot is just inches away from my face. I don’t want to be kicked in the face first thing in the morning. I decided to pinch the foot, however; I regretted it the moment the foot suddenly jolted upwards, only to fall back on my chest again. This caused me to wheeze at the sudden impact.“What the actual fuck!” I can’t help but curse out loud. Aziel stirred from his sleep and tried to open his eyes, but failed and got back to sleep. I held Jayce’s ankle and roughly removed it from me. I threw his leg to the side and pushed him out of the bed. I heard a groan from him, but as quickly as his sleep was disturbed, his breathing went back to a steady pace- showing that he went back to sleep again. I sat up and stretched my sore a
I don’t know how long we’re traveling. But all I know is that it’s long enough to strain my neck and make my entire front bruised. If I dare relax my head, it will only hit the horse’s side. What’s the rush, anyway? Can’t he stop to rest? More likely, for my body to rest from the constant bruising this bloody horse causes.I was busy brooding that I can feel myself slipping away from the horse. I screamed in panic, hoping he would hear, but the cloth muffled it. I tried my best to curl up more, just to stay on the horse. Those were futile when the dick decided to abruptly stop the horse. I fell nonetheless. I groaned as I felt the pain in my ass.He’s a real pain in the ass. Literally! It’s not even funny!I glared at him as he hopped down from the horse. Again, as I was too busy with my emotions, I failed to notice our current location. It was already getting dark and we’re in front of a small cotta
The sun has risen, and yet I’m still wide awake. I spent the night thinking of my purpose in this world. Before I was teleported here, I just finished having an existential crisis. Now, I have to do it all over again. I can easily ignore it back in my world since I can just live my life in my own terms. Here, however, feels like my fate is planned. Situations like this only happen in books or movies.Looking at my captor, I can’t help but envy his sleeping state. It’s really unfair how he doesn’t look unflattering. He looks beautiful while sleeping, even much more when he wakes up!I rolled my eyes and let out a huff. Suddenly, he abruptly stood up, looking like a lost kid. The innocent look didn’t last when he finally noticed my free state. Without wasting time, he lunged at me. I barely avoided him. Scampering away, I immediately placed a distance between us.“WAIT! HEAR ME OUT FIRST!” I raised my hands to stop him fro
