Knowing (pt 17)
Walk “W-w-where are you taking me?”“You do not wish to leave the chamber?” Lorcan asked as he headed for the door. He didn't bother to turn and look at her.Nissa quickly weighed her options and desires. She settled on going along with him...for the time being.Nissa had to practically run to catch up with Lorcan's long strides. She stayed two steps behind him, afraid what he might do.“You came from an earth village?” Lorcan folded his hands behind his back.Nissa skipped a step to stay in line and nodded. Realized that he couldn't see her. “Yes.”“My father protected an earth village once.”“That's what Octavian said.”Lorcan's entire body tens...LiteratureKnowing (pt 19)
Betrayal Nissa wished she could weep, but that well had run dry.Strangely, the cage was almost a comfort this time. The bars provided distance from the still-upset Lorcan, despite the cage door being unlocked.“Why do you still dislike me so, pet?” Lorcan's tone wasn't derogatory or even angry. He sounded hurt. “Is my kindness not enough for you?”Nissa toyed with a piece of fabric on her dress. “Sometimes...sometimes you still frighten me. So, when The Knowing tells me to run, I do. I can't stop myself.”Lorcan turned his quizzical expression her way. “The Knowing?”Nissa shrugged. “Yes.”“Pray, tell. What is this Knowing?”Another shrug. She ...LiteratureKnowing (pt 23)
Confession Nissa's eyes flew open, but she managed to keep her concentration intact. She heard rather than saw Lorcan enter the room, his boots clicking on the hard floor. She didn't move. She couldn't. Everything hurt too much and The Knowing still lingered.Lorcan lifted her enough to settle himself on the couch, and set her head down on his lap. His fingers absentmindedly stroked her hair, cool against her hot skin.“It is The Knowing, is it not?” Lorcan asked.Nissa nodded.Lorcan's fingers faltered, then resumed. “Please tell me what it says.”Nissa blinked as moisture filled her eyes.“Little mortal, you need never fear me. I will not harm...LiteratureWords
I feel the anger, envy and strife As idle words are spoken into my life And as they're thrown at me, I do what? Nothing, as I feel them cut, and cutDeeper, until I fear my soul is split But I stay quiet, because I don't want to spit In their faces, at least they realize I'm alive Even if I feel like I no longer have my prideThey don't realize this hurts me, but what can I do? I can't tell them to stop it, 'cause I don't want them hurt too. "Words are weapons" a wise man once said And the mantra echoes inside my head"You're worthless", "you're fat" And that's just the where they start at Most things they say are worse, for me And they can't...LiteratureKnowing (pt 21)
Dress A very paranoid Nissa was curled on the couch when Lel returned hours later. Everything was wrong. The sky practically vibrated with premonitions.The two other women from Nissa's first day in the palace followed Lel inside. Something long and green stretched between them.The bejeweled box Lel carried clicked as she set it carefully on the table.“What is this?” Nissa pulled herself forward and set her feet on the stone floor.The two women laid the delicate, jade green fabric flat on the sofa, and Nissa recognized it for what it was. The most beautiful gown she had ever laid eyes on. She ran a hand along the skirt, and found that the f...LiteratureKnowing (pt 22)
Party Nissa saw everything that went on. The people who coyly spoke in corners. The dancers who enjoyed themselves too much. Everything. And all the while, The Knowing pressed in on her mind, screaming that he was coming.Octavian sauntered by and averted his gaze, and The Knowing left Nissa wondering why. He had been so friendly, until his brother had seen him comforting her. Why didn't he like her anymore? Why did he look away like she hurt his eyes?Nissa blinked to keep the tears from building. She wouldn't cry. Not again.“I would burn worlds to see you smile.”Nissa lifted her chin. Lorcan's voice. She would have recognized it anywhere, ...LiteratureChains - Chapter 1
I held tightly to the arm of my great-grandfather's statue, wishing he could come back to life and grant the wisdom he was known for. I had always known my father's greed and lack of compassion would lead him to either a war or an early grave. Ever since I was a little girl I had thought so. But I had never thought it would come to this.My brave brother, Hezekai, stood tall by my father. A boy of twelve winters should not have to face such difficulties. Yet, there he stood. He hadn't flinched when the throne room doors opened to allow the men to enter. Men who knew our lives depended on the beck and call of their mercy. Now, there they sto...LiteratureKnowing (pt 20)
Preparations “Vail hallay.”Nissa smiled in Lel's direction. “On Earth, we say good morning.”“We are not so different, then.” Lel extended a hand. “Come. There is much to be done.”“Much to be done?” Nissa shifted to stand and instead put a hand to her forehead.The same foreboding that had taunted her years ago with E.J. now threatened to choke her. It was so strong. So clear. She tried once more to stand, and clutched her abdomen with a cry of pain as dread ripped through every inch of her body.“Miss?” Lel was suddenly on her knees beside the couch. “Nissa? Are you well?”Nissa couldn't stop the river of torment as The Knowing overtook her s... - Literature
Debt (Kurapika X Reader) Ch 7.5
“This is rather cliché, is it not?” You peered up dejectedly at the sky which had decided to spontaneously pour down moisture. “I’m guessing you didn’t bring an umbrella either did you, Kurapika?” “Of course not. There was not a single scrap of cloud in the sky this morning after all.” The blonde figure next to you sighed. “This is going to be troublesome, especially as my apartment is quite the distance away.” “How far?” “A 10 to 15 minute walk.” And idea gradually surfaced within your mind. “I live only about 5 minutes away. Do you want to….” You swallowed dryly. “Wait out the rain there?” Kurapika turned to you quizzically. “I couldn’t ...LiteratureDebt (Kurapika X Reader) Ch 1
The feeling of being left alone was worse than death. Hell, you've faced death before, just as would have anyone of your situation. You thought you had gathered them together to be family, to bring justice into an unjust world, to right wrongs. Before you knew it though, they had become part of the wrong. And like the coward that you were, you took the only route that you could think of—escape. But in turn, you were alone. /\/\/\/\/\ "No, that's still not quite right," you patiently remarked again as you pointed to the sheet of paper before you. You could sense the squirming of your pupil and his frustration. For the past several years, yo...LiteratureDebt (Kurapika X Reader) Ch11
“After all, the one at fault is me.” Trying to stand with my hands bound is harder than it looks… you mused as you stumbled a little after standing. “I was too greedy,” you continued, “It was wrong of me to –" “Because unlike you I have better control of myself.” “I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and shit out a better retort than that.” Wait. What?! “I—” you began again, a little louder. “If you are going to be a smart ass,” Kurapika spat back, “first you have to be smart. Otherwise you’re just an ass.” Is this an— “Somewhere out there is a tree, tirelessly producing oxygen so you can breathe.

And so, you were here again at the coffee shop. After work you had begged on hands and knees for Melody to accompany you and act as the mediator, to which she grudgingly agreed to with a sigh. Thus, this brings you back to this strange scene that has unfolded before you. Kurapika sat before you, hands crossed on the table, holding you with a steely gaze. You stared at the tea before you, mouth dry. “So, then. Speak.” You looked up at Kurapika at this order. His form betrayed no movement at all. “Umm…can I begin wherever?” you asked meekly. You took the long silence as tolerance… //12 years ago// “Happy birthday 7th birthday!” was the hus...LiteratureRivalry Ch 1 (Killua x Reader)
A breath in. A breath out. Eyelids slowly lowered. Slowly opened. I am the dirt, the grass, the wind. What flows in me flows out, what flows out flows in. Be still but active, firm but relaxed, you repeated in your mind, the mantra that you had memorized since your birth. With one more drawn out exhale, you focused your gaze in the scope of your rifle, concentrating on your vision. According to the information you received from the Don for your mission, your target was to return through the front gates of his estate in 6 ½ minutes. Opening the testing gate would take him 4 seconds, give and take a quarter—plenty of time for you to pull th...LiteratureDebt (Kurapika X Reader) Epilogue
It has been a while since then. You’ve had officially moved out of your apartment and into Kurapika’s, somehow having avoided all contact with your previous landlord. Other than that, however, not much had seemed to change. You hummed to yourself as you strolled down the street. It was a good day, specifically since it was your birthday. You smiled wryly as you recalled your past excitement over a bundle of bacon. How different your life was now, as you can fry up bacon, or sausages, depending on what was left in the fridge, nearly every morning for breakfast. How easily things are taken for granted. But it was your birthday, and you felt,...LiteratureDebt (Kurapika X Reader) Ch 5
You came to only to find yourself bound and tossed onto the ground. The lights were dimmed, only allowing you a little distance around you. “Awake now, are you?” You looked wildly at the stranger who stood before you whose face was covered in shadow. With expert flicks of his wrist, he juggled a knife. “I’m guessing this little princess has no idea who I am or why she’s here~” He grabbed your face with an open hand. “Neither do you know what your brother and all those other friends of yours do every day for ‘work’, do you?” He snickered. “Why don’t I ruin your delusions here and now? It will definitely help us pass the time as we wait for ...LiteratureDebt (Kurapika X Reader) Ch 10
“Nobu?” you piped, breaking the heavy silence. “Yah squirt?” he answered, casually inspecting his fingernails instead of turning to face you. “Thanks for speaking for me back there. I—“ “Don’t thank me yet. They only decided to not kill you for now,” he cut you off swiftly, continuing to stare into the dark distance. Your surroundings were only lit by a single candle. The silence settled again around the two of you. “You know the Chain Bastard killed Uvo,” he started, voice steelier than before. You hesitated, then gave in. “Yes, I did.” “And Paku.” You gave a mutter of affirmation. “You do know that I’ve sworn to kill him, right?” You jer... - Literature

For the wonderful w h i s p e r Through rose coloured glasses, the world is dusted in an ethereal glow Moments seemed to pass by faster as days would turn into weeks, then months People would blame it on global warming; or perhaps mistaking it as human error Some would pray, seek medical attention or sell their souls...

At the entrance, a never changing crowd of fan girls loiter around for a particular third year student.

When you part the curtains of the setter's bedroom, he drops your luggage onto the floor in reaction to the blinding afternoon sun. You walked towards him, not backing away from his sharp glare.
