Prophecy Of Doom
Chapter 17:

The next day in Amara’s room

Amara: “Karl, I reviewed all the reports Ian sent me. He’s doing a wonderful job. I’m glad I hired him and I’m now finished working on the new software. Let him know and ask him to make the arrangements for its launch.”

Karl: “Okay.”

Aria: “Amara, you have ten minutes, get your ass ready for the party or else I’ll come there and dress you myself.”

In Amara’s head: Ugh...party on the rooftop bar and what’s the occasion? Nothing, yeah they just felt like having a party. At least there would be no unknown faces. Let’s get this over with. (on the rooftop)

In Ryan’s head: It’s been nine days and these nine days made me realize a lot of things. I never cared about someone outside my family but she changed it. I pushed her away, she’s forbidden as sin. She has to leave this place and go back to her normal life. A non dangerous life, she doesn’t deserve to live like us. We don’t know who will die tomorrow, who we’ll mourn. I can’t choose this life for her, I have no right. She has to return to her old life, she would be safe that way. My men who are in Athens give me reports every day. Everything seems normal. The Legion doesn’t know about Amara, she’s safe. I started missing her even when she’s right next to me. It used to be nice to hear her talk to me. Her big blue eyes are filled with light, and she used to gaze deep into my soul. The smile she would give me would make me feel things I never experienced. It makes me angry to feel this way.

Gabrielle: “Would you like to go on a date with me?”

Amara: “No, I don’t do that shit.”

Gabrielle: “Then what do you do?”

Amara: “Look, I’m not interested so don’t waste your energy.”

Gabrielle: “It was worth a try. I heard you were going back.”

Amara: “The old days, yeah.”

Gabrielle: “Has something happened between you two? You and Diavolo? He’s looking at me like he wants to bite my head off.”

Amara: “No, that’s just his face. Why do you think so?”

Gabrielle: “You two seem like you’re avoiding each other.”

Amara: “You should avoid a person like him and yeah, I’m avoiding him.”

Gabrielle: “Why?”

Amara: “Because he wanted that.”

Gabrielle: “You’re talking in riddles. If we can’t go on a date then can we be friends?”

Amara: “Only if you have no other intentions because if you have and try anything you would lose your head.”

Gabrielle: “Trust me, I know that no means no.”

Amara: “Good to hear.”

Gabrielle: “By the way, what are you drinking?”

Amara: “I think it’s fruit juice but it has something else in it too.”

Gabrielle: “How many glasses did you have?”

Amara: “This is the fourth one, why?”

Gabrielle: “Nothing, enjoy.”

In Gabrielle’s head: She fucking had four glasses of wolfsbane and still standing on her feet? What creature is she? Wolfsbane are too strong for a human and The Bloodwalker pack needs higher quantity to get high then any other normal pack as they’re stronger. And Diavolo…fuck my life. He’s still giving me the death stare. Time to disappear.

In Amara’s head: I can feel him staring…but why does he always stare at me? He’s the one who made it very clear that he doesn’t wanna talk to me. I just fulfilled his wish. I didn’t even look in his direction, that’s what he wanted, right? As I said there’s no way in hell I’m gonna talk to him again. You can call it ego but I call it self-respect. If he can’t show me the respect I show myself then he’s not worth talking to, simple as that. He might be the all mighty Ryan Diavolo Accardi, feared by all, the gangster or whatever he is and he might be the most good looking man I’ve ever laid my eyes on but I don’t give a fuck. I’ll always put myself first, I’m not gonna let anyone disrespect me just because he’s powerful and handsome. It’s either my way or nothing. I respect myself enough to know who’s worthy of my time and energy, I don’t tolerate bullshit. So stare as much as you want…within four days I’ll be leaving this place and forgetting everything that happened here. (the next day at the mall)

Amara: “Tell me what we’re doing here and how did you manage to bring me here?”

Hailey: “We’re looking for a dress for me because I have a date and I convinced you by making my special coffee.”

Cinzia: “We’re looking for a dress for me too.”

Amara: “Let me guess, because you have a date as well.”

Hailey and Cinzia: “Yes.”

Amara: “Nice. This is the last dress shop, you better find your dress you’re looking for here. I’m gonna check that side.”

Hailey: “I found one.”

Cinzia: “Me too.”

Amara: “Let’s get going then, I’m starving. Tell me about the best nightclubs here.”

Hailey: “There are so many and most of them are owned by boss.”

Amara: “Tell me about the one that isn’t owned by your boss.”

Hailey: “There’s a club called Aerial Nightclub. Why you asking?”

Amara: “I wanna have fun before I head back to New York.”

Hailey: “Ooo…can we join?”

Amara: “Of course, I can’t go alone, can I? So tomorrow?”

Hailey: “Aria will kill us if we go without her.”

Amara: “She’ll be joining as well. (the next day)”

Aria: “How’s this dress?”

Amara: “Can you get more sexy mama? Okay, my turn.”

All the girls: “Oh my…”

Aria: “Give me a minute to pick my jaw up off the floor.”

Haliy: “You look breathtaking.”

Amara: “We all are looking breathtaking. What are we waiting for? (in the living room)”

Ryan: “Where do you think you’re going dressed like that?”

Amara: “Meet us outside when you’re done answering your brother. (at the club half hour later). You know what to do?”

Barmaid: “I got you, beautiful.”

In Amara’s head: Let the show begin.

Aria: “I didn’t know she could dance like this.”

Azzurra: “Holy shit. What can be hotter than this?”

In Amara’s head: It was time for me to let loose a little, I started dancing. I had a few shots of tequila but as usual it didn’t have any effect on me. I had to make sure I smelled like alcohol. I feel all eyes on me and I know how much power I hold over men but I never use it to accomplish my task. In my experience, violence helps me get my shit done easily but today I thought I should try a different approach. And bingo.

In Vasileios’ head: I don’t know what happened, all of a sudden but I found myself dancing with her. God save me…I shouldn’t be here, letting her grind on me like this but I guess it’s too late now, I can’t stop myself. Her scent is driving me crazy and not allowing me to leave her.

Amara: “I must say, you’re a good dancer.”

Vasileios: “Not better than you. Are you drunk?”

Amara: “I had a few shots. You with your girlfriend, pretty boy?”

Vasileios: “No. I’m single, princess.”

Amara: “That’s what I wanted to hear.”

Vasileios: “Really?”

Amara: “Yeah, I don’t meet single and handsome men like you everyday, it’s rare.”

Vasileios: “And I never met someone as beautiful as you.”

Amara: “You think I’m beautiful?”

Vasileios: “More than anyone I’ve met in my life.”

Amara: “I’m flattered. You know, I prefer a little less noisy place than this so I’m getting out of here. you can join me if you want.”

Vasileios: “I’ll be damned if I didn’t. (in the bathroom)”

Amara: “We can start our business here. (Amara pulls a knife to Vasileios’ throat). Don’t tell me, you really thought I’m gonna make out with you. Aww…your face is telling me you did. What can I say, I can act pretty well…so tell me, Mr. Stalker. What? Why are you so shocked? Wondering how I know you?”

In Vasileios’ head: What the fuck? How the hell does she know and where was she hiding this knife all this time?

Amara: “You thought I didn’t notice you at the mall yesterday. Yeah, I know you were there following me and that’s why I asked about the nightclubs so you could hear and join me today, and you did.”

In Vasileios’ head: So it was all a trap?

Amara: “Now I’m gonna ask a few questions and you have to answer if you don’t want me to change this pretty face of yours. I could know everything I wanted but spare me the headache and tell me yourself. Why were you following me that day and why did you call me ‘The last heiress of Arona’?”

Vasileios: “You’ve mistaken, I’m seeing you for the first time in my life. I didn’t stalk you.”

Amara: “There’s nothing…and I mean nothing, I hate more than a liar. Before I lose my shit and show you what I do to people who try to play games with me…start spilling your guts. (lights out). Are you fucking kidding me? (Vasileios’ gone). What the fuck? Where did he vanish to? (main club area bar). Do you have a cig?”

Azzurra: “Yeah.”

Amara: “I’m going outside for some fresh air.”

In Azzurra’s head: Okay.

Amara: “Fucking useless.”

In Amara’s head: I can’t believe he disappeared just as I was about to find my answers. Whoever says violence is never the answer, they’re right. Violence is the solution and I should’ve used it instead. My next interaction with you won’t be polite, Mr. Stalker. (on the roof of the club)

Hermes: “What the hell are you doing, boy? I left you for two days and you came here when I forbid you to come here and how dare you touch her?! You disappointed me. I didn’t expect this from you. Do you know what could’ve happened if I hadn’t dragged you out of that bathroom in time? Because of you, everything could’ve been ruined and we would’ve had to face God’s wrath. Everything would’ve changed and destruction would’ve followed. How could you be reckless? We’re the messengers, we know everything but we can’t tell anyone or else all things will fall apart. It’s imperative that everything is unveiled At the right time.”

Vasileios: “Forgive me, master but I don’t know how it happened. Yesterday I was just keeping an eye on her but then I heard that she was talking about this club and I couldn’t stop myself from coming and I was standing in the corner, I had no intention to get close to her. All of a sudden I lost control of my mind and found myself dancing with her. I don’t know how it all happened.”

Hermes: “Of course you don’t know, you can’t know. You heard about the club because she wanted you to hear. You started dancing with her because she wanted you to dance with her. How the hell could you underestimate her? Her powers are unknown and beyond anyone’s knowledge and no man can resist her, that’s why I asked you to stay away from her. I knew you felt attracted to her the first time you saw her. We’re leaving this city right now. (two hours later home hallway)”

Ryan: “Where were you?”

In Amara’s head: Why is he looking more handsome right now? Does he always have to look this handsome at night? Shit, what’s wrong with me? I should just blame it on the alcohol. Yeah, probably the alcohol. Give me a break, can’t wait to call it a night.

In Ryan’s head: I thought she doesn’t drink but she’s reeking of alcohol. Wait. That’s when I was hit by an unpleasant scent. A scent of another man. It was strong which means whoever that fucker was Amara and him were close. (Ryan’s wolf growls)

Ryan: “Who were you with?”

In Amara’s head: All the time to think I’m gonna answer him.

Ryan: “Don’t walk away from me!! (Amara’s room)”

In Amara’s head: When I entered my room I was aware that he was right behind me following me. It was then that I felt a hand grab me and I didn’t see it coming whatever was about to happen. He pulled me in for a kiss and I did something that I should’ve never done. I don’t know what was going on in my mind, I was so frustrated because I couldn’t find any answer. Tonight was a total failure and it didn’t let me think straight.

In Ryan’s head: I was waiting the whole evening for her to come back home. Aria came back but she didn’t. I was anxious about where she was and when she came back, I lost it. I don’t know what came over me. When she walked away I knew whatever I was gonna do was wrong but I don’t care, even if she kills me after this I don’t fucking care because I needed to have her in my arms and her lips on mine.

In Amara’s head: I couldn’t resist the urge any longer and gave in because I needed something which could take away my frustration. I kissed him back.

In Ryan’s head: I felt as if I had been struck by lightning as a whole new feeling ran through my veins. A feeling I never knew existed hit me like a truck. When she kissed me back that’s when I felt it and my heart, my soul screamed. MATE!!

In Amara’s head: It felt more intense than I thought it would be and I knew if I didn’t stop now it’ll be too late so I did what was best for the both of us.

Amara: “Get out!!”

In Amara’s head: I slapped him but it had no effect on him. He again came closer and held my face gently with both of his hands placing a kiss on my forehead. He said…

Ryan: “We’ll talk in the morning.”

In Amara’s head: And he left. The room started feeling cold and empty and reality hit me. What did I do? (in the garden Ryan takes his clothes off and runs in the woods)

In Ryan’s head: I came outside as Azrael was trying to take control. I can’t comprehend what just happened inside. We found our mate? Amara is our mate.
