Gasp.....I sprung awake like from a nightmare. My head was spinning and couldn't see clearly. I could hear a lot of voices but everything was hazy. My body felt like it was breaking apart. My hands and legs had no strength left. Slowly things started to become clear. I frantically looked for Emily but all I could see were different people and the room that held me. It was not lavish not luxurious like a princess palace but instead looked like a hospital room with rarely any light passage and was filled with laboratory instruments and had a very eerie atmosphere. My heart was pumping like crazy and my voice didn't seem to come out. Slowly tears started falling from my eyes. I couldn't help myself. I felt very miserable. Suddenly like a mother's warmth one of the guys with some crazy genes hugged me into a warm embrace. Just a hug is what it took to cry my heart out. Maybe it's because of my position or what I had been through, I don't know how long I cried but that man was very patient with me. He just held me without saying anything and that gave me a great sense of relief. He was like an umbrella on a rainy night protecting me from the cold and rain.
I looked at him again, he was a well built man, black hair and red eyes, infact all the people present there were beautiful and didn't loo much old than me.
As my eyes were wandering from person to person, a man with black hair and black eyes with slender body figure and pale skin like a ghost came near me and said : mmmh.., he said coldly with not one bit of care for life as it was something not valuable, It seems that you have recovered. Guess the contract is signed successfully. Although it took a lot of precious resources.
I was baffled by this statement. I wanted to know how they meant by this. My body was still not in a great condition and my head was pounding. The man sitting beside me gently helped me lay down and patting my head slowly, his eyes showing great affected whispered to me in a deep, sweet voice: lie down and sleep so you recover. I will stay beside you. His voice gave me a great sense of security and relief and slowly dozed to sleep.
While Lily was sleeping all the people present had moved from the room into the conference room. It was an elegant place with little decorations. A big table was in the centre and had 12 seats. All of them occupied the respective seats except for one empty seat. After a moment of silence, the red eyed, black hair man who consoled Emily spoke.
Finally the last of the holders of the "Seven Stars" has arrived. We would carry on the operation after she is fully recovered.
Except for the four people who sat in the left and right sides of that man, all the other girls cheered in excitement for the success of the mission. With a wave of his hands he dismissed all the six girls.
You really are ruthless aren't you? A tall well built man with darker skin with yellow hair and deep sea eyes said with a deep voice. Even though he tried to lighten up the mood he just made the atmosphere sour. Immediately a girl of fifteen or so with long red hair and cute pink eyes said: you know Michael, Tika is just joking. Ha...ha isn't it right! Suddenly she turned her head to Salwin the quiet man who gave of a cold aura. With black clothes and hood covering his head some of the hair was exposed. It was jet black and as he turned to look back at the pleading request of Euphoria a clear silver pair of eyes were visible with fair skin like complementing an already perfect picture.
Yes, Salwin spoke softly but it was more cold than the Icey mountains. While all this drama was happening Mr. Black silently saw through it all. But finally breaking the awkward silence, Black spoke in a slow but steady manner but each word contained a particular weight which no one could dare defy.
The contract has been signed and you control her life. Therefore you don't need to show her any sorts of kindness or cheap sympathy. Michael stared laughing very loudly after hearing this. Nobody could understand this man's intention but was very curious of it.
He said: If you have a dog would you want it to be weary of you and repeatedly try to kill you or have a loyal dog blinded by loyalty who show up at your beck and call and would even give up it's life to save you.
Love is a really powerful emotion. Only one word is only need for them to make even the most foolish of decisions. After especially the contract that controls the life and death of the contracted, it will make their hearts beat faster as just a side effect but that moment is enough for them to think they are in love and to abandon all other things and become blind tools always trying to earn my favour while fighting amongst each other keeping each other in check.
Everyone kept quiet as chills went down their spines at the sight of the monster in front of them as he was smiling as normal as in every other day but instead of a warm feeling it gave the signs of danger as if that man was a calamity which never should have descended into this world.
