sleepless Nights

Edenville is one of the biggest and richest countries on the planet, with a population of 50 million people. It is also one of the very few countries that still uses the monarchical system of ruling.

Sebastian: will he be gone for long? can we go visit him?

Dean:I will talk to his parents about it but I don't think he will return soon or that he can.

Sam: what about the upcoming graduation exam?

Dean: time will tell but I want you to go get some rest, I will tell you if there's any development.

They left the dean's office with a bit of a gloomy attitude and they all stayed silent on their way to their dorms. They were a little upset given that Jake had not told them of his identity. As the world dove further into night, all the students were welcomed into the arms of morpheus save a few dispirited souls.

Daniel was sitting by the window of his room, gazing at the twilight sky, with it's innumerable little stars and a giant silver moon illuminating the night.

As for Sebastian, his room was exceptionally quiet without his roommate. He sat in the starlit darkness, pencil in hand,drawing a picture of Jake as a prince. His consentration was unparalleled as the portrait of Jake came to life. He had a crown,drawn with a star theme,a king's scepter and a white suit with a long white cape. He let out a sigh as the drawing was completed.

Casimir, likewise was restless. He tossed and turned on his bed till something the Dean said came to his mind,"a man's secrets are his power," then he remembered the incident with Allison. He went for a book from his cupboard and started writing poem.

Secrecy is jewelry

That ravages with cruelty

Wouldn't you prefer good honesty

That saves you from the gravity

Of deadly lies and it's atrocity

Still, secrecy is jewelry

That covers all with vain beauty

Till it becomes a necessity

To tread on glass for security

Indeed it makes you royalty

Untill you become the casualty

When comes the truth and the penalty

It is true secrecy is jewelry

That ties you down with the memory

Of life built on a fallacy

And binds you with silence for all eternity

Trust that secrecy is jewelry

That is silent but screams violently

Leaving it's holder's mind in calamity.

He stoped and raised his head to look at the night sky.

Meanwhile Neo and Sam were lying on their beds, wide awake.

Sam was thinking and reminiscing about the first time they all met. How they were all so different but fit together so perfectly, like it was by fate that they met, and by fate they would stay together even if they were apart but Neo was thinking about how people come and people go, just like that. He thought he and his friends would stay together forever,even if they parted at graduation but now Jake was gone and it was only a matter of time till the others left as well. Love is cruel as always,he thought.

These were not the only people with sleepless nights, the lady Allison was also restless. She sat at the corner of her bed, hugging her knees. The once existent gentle night breeze was no more, replaced by a sharp, whistling coldness. The subzero coldness lunged at her, at her lonely corner,making her shiver with every touch. And when it bared it's fangs her teeth began to chatter, like a possessed shaman reciting an incantation.

Allison: What have I done? what have I done? what have I done?how could I do this? I'm a terrible person person, I'm a monster."

At that moment, extending from her door, a shadow flooded the room, inching toward her, first slowly and then lightning fast. As the shadow submerged her, a scene she was trying to bury floated to the surface. Scenes of her moaning as Kevin rammed his impressive male member, which every girl he had done was completely addicted to, in and out of her.

Allison: no! no! Stop! Make it stop."

She shook her head to get it out of her mind but the sounds got louder and the scenes more vivid until it finally stoped a couple of minutes later. Then these words took over,"I love you Allison. I trust you, you're my soulmate," it echoed in her head again and again and again. It stopped shortly after and a new voice spoke to her

Voice:Guilt? You shouldn't feel any guilt my dear."

Allison's demeanor changed as the voice seemed to be coming from somewhere in the room. She searched furiously and fearfully but found nothing.

Allison: Who are you? Where are you?"

Voice: I am someone who can make it all go away, the guilt, shame and give you a happily ever after like you deserve. Trust me. And I'm right here."

A hand reached from the wall behind her and touched her shoulder making her shriek and jolt. She turned around to see a huge and tall creature, that resembled a man. It wore makeshift clothes made from rags and strips of dirty fabrics and eyes popped all over it's body with two concentric irises that glowed red and a sclera as black as obsidian.it spoke with a voice that covered pure temptation.

Creature: you still want Sam don't you"

The sex scenes shot back inside her head and she instinctively said yes

Voice: then let me in.

The creature hugged Allison and a few seconds later, melted into her body, her eyes turned to intense blood red that was the epitome of desire. A second later after she recovered her bearings a voice sounded in her head

Voice: now you and I are one. The first thing you need to do to get your happily ever after is to...destroy the one who threatens it, Casimir.

Allison: so be it. I will get what I want no matter what.

Voice: so be it my Queen.
