AUTHOR POV
As the velvety night sky wrapped its darkness around them. They both stood on the balcony with their eyes locked in a constant intense gaze. The moonlight casting a silver glow on their faces, making their first sight of each other a surreal and enchanting experience, as if the stars had conspired to bring them together in a celestial embrace. WAIT WAIT WAIT....The sight of them makes the onlookers to think it like it's a dreamy and enchanting moment between them, but only they both know their inner turmoil. One is clearly frustrated about other being dumbstruck and totally mute. The other one can't believe his own eyes.... Hah!.... What a contrasting fate!....
LYRA'S POV
'Is he mute ?.. Or am I so scary? What the fuck !! I don't have time for this shit, i have to get this work done by tonight. I can't miss this chance as it already took much time and it tarnishes my record. I need to take this shit with me'. My thoughts were vanished when he finally decided to open his mouth, and the next thing I heard, I realised it is my turn to be dumbstruck and at a loss of words...
"Okay".
After regaining my composure, I asked him again to recheck whether I have heard it correctly. "Did you say Ok?" I asked him again.He just noded his head and moved towards me, I was alerted by his movement and pressed the gun to his forehead.
"Don't play games with me Adam, I have no time for your little games". I snarled at him by pressing the gun more into his forehead.There was a slight change in his eyes for a moment and then it was gone. He moved his arms and placed them infront of me as a surrender posture and said "Take Me ".
Is this man for real?Does he have any mental disorder?.. Is he planning something?... Or Does he have a secret security force hiding in the shadows?... My thoughts ran wild with all the fucking possibilities..... Ughh! I don't care... Either way he's gonna come with me tonight, so this is better, I think.
"Walk " I commanded, without removing the gun from its place. He casually walked with me as if we are gonna go for a walk in park. 'What the hell man? Fight me, god damn it!. Isn't it quite opposite anyone would do if he is in this position'. "Atleast resist me idiot" I mumbled to myself, When he suddenly stopped walking and turned to face me. That's when I clearly saw his face as till now he was covered in his own shadow due to the position of our standing and He looks like an fallen angel, With piercing gaze and raven hair, he embodied the mystique of a dark prince, his beauty both captivating and intimidating.Like a prince forged from the shadows.Hah....' An ugly heart for a pretty face, Ohh What a tragedy'.... I was thinking about it when he spoke " Did you say something"?
"No" I rebuked confidently and signalled him with my eyes and gun to walk, and just like that we are walking out of his mansion like a couple to onlookers watching from far....but if you look closely you can sense the tension in me and chill nature of him. As if I am just taking him out on a date!!! "What are you Adam Parker"?... I thought to myself while watching him walk like a king without any resolve.It looks like, I am his security guard. I rolled my eyes.And then we finally reached my bike.I hosted my bike and signalled him to sit behind me when someone came running from his mansion and I pointed my gun at him and thought 'Finally Someone Sane!!Thank god ! I was going nuts by this creature.'....He pointed his gun to me and said "Leave my boss woman"!
"Do you think that's gonna scare me?" i said with a smirk, when suddenly the man behind me spoke in deep resonating voice that sent chills down to my bones.
"Mark! Leave"... I would be lying if I say i was not frightened by his voice for a minute. Well..This Adam surely is something....the guy who just now stopped us with a threat, left without another word. That's it ? His one word made him leave without a fuss? weird!. Just who the fuck is this man!ughhh...i don't have time for that. I have to make sure this bastard doesn't run off.
He sat behind me, and I revved up my bike on high gear and started our journey to the agency, I drove my bike at highspeed on purpose to get anything out of him, ' Yes, I am petty...But this son of a robot didn't speak a word and didn't move an inch'. I wonder what's going in his mind. I say in my head looking at his reflection in the side mirror. He is just .....staring at me.... 'what the fuck'. We shortly reached Hades head quarters.
AUTHOR'S POV
Hades Agency headquarters , Mirkwoods town , Somewhere near Mirkwoods forest, Chenryl state, 11:54 pm.
As the bike's engine died, Lyra with her raven hair billowing behind her like a dark cloud, brought the vehicle to a halt at the edge of a forsaken road. Felix descended the bike like a king that he was,The surroundings were shrouded in an eerie, mystical gloom, the only light coming from the faint, flickering glow of fireflies flitting above the landscape like restless spirits. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and decay, it was almost midnight.
Above, the night sky was a deep, foreboding shade, the stars hidden behind a veil of dark clouds that seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy. The atmosphere was alive with an enchanting, yet unsettling, magic, as if the very darkness itself is watching them, waiting to consume them.As they stood there, the world seemed to hold its breath, and all that existed was the two of them, suspended in this haunting, mystical moment, with the promise of danger and enchantment hanging precariously in the balance.They both truly match each other like a 'Match made in hell'.
LYRA'S POV
Finally, I can get some peace from this mind fucking son of mystery. I walked into the head quarters with him tailing behind me. Is he finally trying to repent his mistakes, So that he is surrendering himself without any force.
Whatever "It's too late to repent for your mistakes Adam, do you even feel regret over the lives you have taken and lives you made miserable" i said to him but he just walked with me like a mute puppet.
I rolled my eyes and entered the passcode to enter the head quarters. After walking through some doors we finally reached the centre of the building where, Stephen, head of surveillance greeted me and asked " what happened mam?? Why are you visiting at this odd hours? And who is this gentleman here?"
"He is not any gentleman Stephen , he is my latest mission . He is a wanted criminal, Adam Parker. Now open the door"
" But Mam?!...uhh..Never mind".,He said while taking a look at Adam and opened the door that leads to our Boss's office.I turned to the robot behind me and signalled with my eyes to follow me..He just silently walked with me.I took him to our chief Steve Smithson who is the co founder of our agency and like a father figure to me. I walked into his office and went near to his table, where he was reading into someone's file.
"Sir"! I saluted to him, He craned up his face from his file and smiled at me, "At ease" He said to me when I finally relaxed my hands. "Who is this man Agent" he asked me, "He is Adam Parker sir! Elite Mission 101" . I said with a perplexed face. He hesitated for a bit looking at Adam I introduced he looked at the file he was holding and shifted his gaze to me again. "Then who would be this". He said by passing the file he was reading before to me, which reading 'Adam Parker's file'. But the picture of him in the file is different from the one standing behind me. I don't understand where did I go wrong.. as I was thinking over it, our chief spoke "Who are you young man"?. To which this dumb motherfucker replied without any hesitation ,
"Felix " with a casual demeanor.
'What the actual fuck? Did I hear that right? What did this fucker just say?' I took a 360° turn to him and questioned him with a glare,
"What did you say? " Just then I heard a laugh from behind, our chief was laughing at my misery.
" I was fucking calling you as Adam Parker like a broken record, why didn't you say it was not you!" I was fuming at him but he just answered me with a dumbest answer I have ever heard and trust me I had a long experience with my bubs for giving me the dumbest reasons but this guy just reached to a new limit.
"I wanted to !! I couldn't say no to you!!! "
" Huh.....what do you mean you couldn't say no? Am I taking you to a pub or what.. do you even know I would have killed you. Or do you wish to die, you fucking idiot!!! ". I was fuming like a volcano here at him and he was just watching me with such a nonchalance which was irking me more.
"Young man, you look like you belong to a respectable line. Why are you messing with public defenders? You are breaking the law by trespassing over a secret agency". Mr Steve spoke with a slight raised tone.
"I am sorry for your inconvenience.Allow me to introduce myself, I am Felix Remington, Ceo of A&A corps.". He forwarded his hand for a shakehand to our chief to which he responded back making me astonished, shouldn't he punish him for perjury. And why is our chief soo calm and friendly with this motherfucker.... Ughhh I hate this day, and I fucking hate this dumbshit here.
Felix FUCKING Remington.
"I heard a lot about you and your company and your fundings to the orphanages and other social activities, Good job young man". Our chief spoke to him like he is his own grandson.
I walked out of the room by giving a glare to him, I was humiliated infront of our chief due to this dumb son of a bitch, ugh.....
As I reached my bike fuming in anger to get out of there, That idiot too followed out rather swiftly, stopping me from starting my bike, saying "Can you give me a ride?? I don't even know where I am .." which actually made me burst with anger like a volcano , trying to keep itself cool until some dumb bullshit of a man provoked it.
"No! Go to hell you idiot !! I said no " I shouted at him and drove out of there. After driving for some distance, I turned back to see him stand at the same place like a lone wolf.. "hahh serves right for you. I couldn't say noo~ who the fuck just follows a person that's just seconds away from killing them!Shitty day shityy humans shitty fucking FELIX!!!!FUCK!" I just drove out of there cursing like an idiot.
FELIX'S POV
The moment I saw her, my heart started screaming ' She's back! She's here!Go hold her before she slips away again you idiot!!' I seriously wanted to hold her. Hug her and say that I missed her. All the emotions inside me when I realised she is actually before my eyes made me dumbstruck. I couldn't move. I couldn't talk. I couldn't even breathe. My mind seems to play tricks on me. One moment it seems like a dream and the next moment ... she's holding a gun to my head. I couldn't believe my eyes. After all those agonizing years ..she's finally back!!!!!She looks exactly like her. Her eyes held the deepest pain. They are totally lifeless. I just wanted to kill all her miseries that killed her from inside. I just didn't know how I have a feeling that she was hurt and still hurting. Maybe years of my love for her made me crazy.
My mind is a mess. It's complete chaos. My heart and brain are not synchronised. They both clashing cause me to just forgot to talk. Maybe the moonlight is trying to say that she is the one. It casted it's rays on her face to wake me up from my delusion. The harsh reality of me living like a corpse is coming to an end finally.
She just looked dead in the eye and asked me to come with her. I just heard the part "Come with me" or my mind just processed only these words that I wanted to hear all my life. Without any hesitation, I found myself saying okay. How can I say no!!??I couldn't. I am stealing every fucking chance I get to make you mine again. When she heard me agree,She looked surprised. And just when she called me Adam, Panic rose in my heart like a small tornado ready to get bigger and bigger to sweep off all my hopes. Who is he? Scratch that, who is this Adam to her, whatever, i don't care, She is mine so this Adam should be gone, I will make sure of that.
I can see her. My life. My love. The only person I have ever dreamed of living with. The girl that left me with my past,sorrows and nightmares then. The girl that brought life to my heart. The eyes that made me fall in love. The voice that made me desperate to hear again and again. The touch that made my heart skip a beat. The woman that made me feel my heart beat. Is here with me, After so many longing years. And I am strongly determined that I am never going to let her go again.
Just looking at her is making me go into deep disbelief. She is here , with me, beside me. And nothing ever made my heart beat so wild, that I can hear it thumping inside my chest. I just can't explain this feeling inside my chest. Just thinking about the fact that she is here with me after soo many freakin years is making my mind go hazy.
Just like when the earth is starving from thirst, the happy dance it makes with the rain when it rains after so long. My mind and heart and body are reacting. Once again after all this time.
She's taking me somewhere. I don't mind even if she tries to kill me. I saw her , and that's enough for me to fight back and live, with her. As I am sitting so close to her on the bike,the wind that is passing her is teasing me that it can touch her. Her scent is making it's way down my lungs , it's making me obsessed with her. Oh...I could even live all my life breathing in her scent. Her dark hair is like a dragon that is spitting blackmagic. The gentle taps her hair is giving on my face is like they are trying to make me mad for her. Her reflection in the mirror is like a dream that I couldn't even hold.
She's bold. Just like before. She's adventurous. Just like before. She's mesmerising me with her beauty . Just like she did before. Her eyes are void of emotions. The first glance I have of her eyes, tells me that she's broken. She's raptured all over her soul. I promise to myself to make her life beautiful that she deserves. As I was lost in my trance, I followed her blindly and found myself inside some office. Her chief asking who I am bought me out of my trance. I replied my details and she did a 360 degree spin with her head and looked at me.
I would be lying if I said that wasn't cute. She is so freaking cute when she's annoyed. After I said that I couldn't say no to her which is the truth, I can see her fuming in anger ready to destroy me with her fire anytime soon. Storming out of the office,she climbed over on her bike and started to drive off.
"Can you give me a ride??I don't even know where I am" I said hoping that she will accept it. But who am I to think that she'll help me after all that I've done!...I just asked for a ride back when I clearly misled her in some mission . Now that I think about it..That adam guy, won't die in my hands and want to thank him so much. It's because of him I met her accidentally. otherwise, what if she never met me. What if I couldn't find her. What if I didn't realise she came back again. What if she just found the Adam guy she's been looking for. What if I just had to live the rest of my life like a lovesick brat that lost his love because of his ignorance? The ocean of what ifs pressurised my mind.
As I realised I just fucked up the moment I met her, she shouted on top of her lungs "No!Go to hell you idiot!!I said no!!" And ... drove off. I just stood there in absolute void. I just stood there. Like a lost soul I am.
She turned back after driving some distance making my hopes go a little bit high that she may want to help me get back to my house. But ... Karma is bitch you know.... I remember our first meeting. And never have I ever thought that karma would get me knocked out this way. I stood there watching her disappear into the shadows. There she is ..my soul, leaving me again in the midst of this chaos, taking away my heart with her. Once again ..I was left alone in the darkness. At loss of life. Between the thin line of darkness and hope. Letting my past consume me all over again.
And just like that you're leaving me all alone again , in this sea of nightmares and land of broken pieces of my soul.
