What does a prey do, when he finds out a hunter is plotting to hunt him down?" Isabella asked and Jason stared at her eyes which is void of any warmth
Isabella caresses the edges of the bed and looked up to Jason, her hazel eyes, sparkling blue rays
"mr Jason, i need you to answer my question, it might determine your fate, or perhaps our fate
"you know what they say, your fate is designed in the moments of your decisions...."
"Run" jason said, staring back at Isabella in the same manner but with a different emotion surging inside his heart. "if the prey finds out about the hunter's ill intention, i suppose he should run"
"you know what they say, when the dilemma is too difficult to handle, you should run" Jason replied solemnly and isabella chuckled
"Mr jason, running is not an option here" isabella said and jason laughed briefly
"Then i guess i should close my eyes and await what fate has in store for me"
"why do you think we close our eyes in important moments? and why do you think a passionate kiss is among those moments?
"Will the hunter really show no mercy for the pitiful prey? or, will he save the prey from other angry hunters? I'm really curious....." jason said grimly and isabella laughed in amusement
"you are really good at quiz like this. I'm also curious, would i be able to show no mercy or save you instead?" isabella said and smiled
Jason stared at her fondly which kinda made Isabella uneasy, he moved closed to her and brought his face close to hers, leaving only few inches apart, Isabella's heart came alive for a while and raced thrice
"i heard you don't have a heart but your heart just beat, three times" jason said and tucked her stray hair strand behind her ears
"should i just seduce you and make you forget about the damn mission?" jason thought aloud and Isabella shoved him off clumsily
"please leave, i need some time alone!" she said hastily and jason chuckled lightly
"alright, see you later then" jason said and walked out of the guestroom with a meaningful grin on his face
Isabella held her chest and furrowed her brows
"My heart just beat? how possible is that" she thought aloud

>>>Li' Dynasty
"your majesty, please believe me, i clearly heard Rushian's heart beat twice, i really did" mamarita said hastily and an elderly man in his early sixties who sat on a throne, made of gold and silver with a little touch of dark stripes glared at her in anger
"how can you say that? what you just said can cause chaos in the kingdom, nobody from Li' Dynasty has a heart, is that clear?! now retire to your chamber and don't come out until i give you the permission" king Larson ordered grimly
"yes, your majesty" mamarita bowed in respect
"servant Mari, escort the queen to her chamber" king Larson said
"yes, your majesty" servant Mari also bowed in respect and led queen mamarita to her abode
~
"your majesty, we shouldn't turn deaf ears to this" ashes, who has been beside the king on a throne-like cushion chair said with concern
"it's the star plaque" king Larson said
"What do you mean its the star plaque?" ashes frowned
"why do you think i want it in the first place? i have a long lifespan already so the infinity it gives is not really my concern and wealth is obviously not my problem so why do you think i need it?" king Larson asked with a grin
"After tracing the star plaque location for over fifty years, i bumped unto an old parchment in the late Luna's library,and guess what, it entails the power of the star plaque
"Apart from giving infinity and large wealth, the star plaque can wake up the dead with the correct spells, i would give you the parchment for you to read but most importantly, the parchment gives heart to the heartless, interesting, isn't it?" king Larson said and ashes grinned
"then i should go get it myself instead of the princess, what if she mess up everything?" ashes said excitedly
"we have her under control, as long as the custom bracelet is on her" king Larson said
"Ashes, after this, let's stop using the royal family as the sacrifice, after Isabella, I'm going to have only Rushian left" king Larson said
"of course! after obtaining the star plaque, there would be no cause for us to sacrifice anyone to extend our lifespan" ashes said with a grin

Alicia sat behind the school hall, reading a novel when she suddenly felt someone's presence
she slowly raised her head up and the unexpected face came into her view
"Mr rush?..." she looked around to be sure no one is there "what are you doing here in broad daylight?" she asked almost in a whisper
"oh, you like me visiting late at night?" Rush asked with a grin
"No, i mean...someone might see you and make a big deal out of it" Alicia stuttered and rush smiled
"Why reading a novel alone , are you lonely?" rush asked and snatched the novel from her
"No, I'm not! aren't you busy? why are you here?" Alicia asked
"because I'm bored! why do you think i always come to you whenever I'm bored?" rush asked
"well, maybe because I'm funny" Alicia said
"No, its actually because you're pretty, your beautiful black eyeballs and dark eyeliner looks so pretty that i want to see them everyday, but unfortunately, i can't! maybe i should quit modeling and just settle down with you" rush flirted and Alicia's face went beet red from blushing
"I'd take that as a compliment" she stuttered
"Its seems as though everyone is neglecting you because you broke the heart of their greek god, should i introduce you as my girlfriend publicly? then everyone would try to be your friend again" rush said and Alicia laughed
"thank you" alicia said slowly
"for what?" rush asked
"for making me break up with jerry, i don't think i would have been courageous enough to say it to his face like that if you hadn't asked me" Alicia said
"Why didn't you report him? he practically raped you" rush said
"I would have, but i have a reputation to build you know? besides, no one would believe me, they'd only insult me for trying to use jerry to draw attention since our graduation is on the way soon" Alicia said with disappointment evident in her voice
"that's not enough reason to just let the jerk go Scot free you know? maybe using the excuse that you have no evidence would have been better" rush said and looked around "i guess i have to leave now, i shouldn't create an un-necessary scandal" rush said and walked away as he sighted three girls walking towards Alicia.
