《Monarch of the Darkness》C12. A date
Advertisement
It was noon in the shopping districts and crowds filled all over the place. Hayden walked while enjoying the scenery of the city together with the red-haired beauty, Anastasya.
They have explored many places together for some time, and now both of them felt quite fatigued. Hence after some arguments, they finally decided to go to the fountain located in the middle of the shopping district.
As they arrived, both of them looked at many people that were sitting and enjoying their quality time in the surrounding area.
"How crowded, what's so special about this place?" Hayden asked Anastasya as he sighed in amazement. He thought that Zenith was doing a good job managing the entire city because almost every place that they have explored before was always full of people.
"It is always like this, how can you be so surprised again and again about this? Anastasya replied annoyingly.
"Oh my, you are the prince and you already live here since you were a kid. You should be the one who is more familiar with this city. But look at you now, I don't know why you look like someone that never been on this place. I am so tired of explaining every single thing to you. It's been three hours already." Anastasya continued explaining in disbelief.
She felt tired of explaining things because Hayden already asked too many questions every time they went to a new place. She had answered all of his questions patiently, but there were always follow-up questions that made it never end. If this continued, Anastasya believed that she would soon be exhausted and collapsed.
"Come on. I didn't ask too much and I'm also your escort now. Besides accompanying you, I think I also got the privilege to ask you about some questions. I really want to be more familiar around this city and also it is rare to have such a beauty as a guide." Hayden smiled thinly. He didn't want to lose an argument with her.

"You... How shameless." Anastasya gritted her teeth while thinking about a way to make Hayden shut up. She couldn't let things go on like this, else Hayden will be more and more immodest.
This small quarrels and arguments already happened for a while. It began as soon as they started exploring the city together. One person got a thick skin, while the other one was a bossy miss. Sparks always popped up as they explored new places, making these small quarrels never end.
Hayden couldn't help but smile. He didn't know why he began to tease her a lot. He just found Anastasya's expression quite amusing, especially the expression that she made when she pouted.
"Haha okay, I think I went overboard today. Now tell me how I can make it up for you." Hayden said earnestly towards her.
Anastasya's eyes were sparkling, not long after she walked slowly towards Hayden.
Hayden narrowed his eyes, wondering what this bossy miss wanted to do. Deeply inside, he felt that he need to be a bit wary because he just met Anastasya today. When they were exploring the city before, He had tried asking her some questions about herself. However, she always looked away and dodged the questions, making Hayden felt suspicious.
Anastasya walked enchantingly with both of her hands behind her back until she was in front of Hayden. Afterward, she halted her movement and slightly bowed while making a seductive face and gesture.
Hayden was astounded. He wanted to say something. However, Anastasya didn't show any sign of stopping. She continued moving forwards until her face was truly close to Hayden.
So close... Hayden was speechless and his cheeks went a bit red. He felt so dumbstruck that he didn't know how to respond to her action.
Hayden could see Anastasya face closely. Her gorgeous face was making his heart beat much faster, while her sensual lips made him realize that this woman was another calamity itself besides little Fay.

Anastasya noticed Hayden's flustered expression and she couldn't help but giggle silently, thinking that his expression was cute. Anastasya grinned and shortly afterward, she laughed and suddenly slapped Hayden's shoulder hardly with her right hand.
"Don't misunderstand, I only want you to treat me to a meal right now."
"What a sly devil..." Hayden cursed silently. He realized that he just got tricked by her. "Fine, what do you want to eat? Shall we go to a restaurant?"
"We don't need to go anywhere, let's just eat near here. Many food sellers opened their stalls around. Look there, let's just eat at that place." Anastasya smiled joyously and pulled Hayden's hand towards the stall, without letting him to express any single word.
Hayden could only watch her from behind and sighed helplessly.
As they arrived, both of them greeted the waitress and searched for a place to sit. Hayden told Anastasya to choose outside because he wanted to eat while enjoying the scenery.
As they walked to the table, Hayden noticed many men's hateful gaze towards him. He couldn't help but sigh while thinking that a beautiful woman like Anastasya always attracts lots of trouble. However, Hayden looked away and ignored them. He didn't want to waste his time with this bunch of fools.
Anastasya noticed it from behind and giggled silently.
After some time, the waitress came and gave them the menu. Anastasya's eyes were sparkling when she looked at the list of the foods and beverages. Without thinking too much, she ordered three different meals, all for herself.
Hayden was dumbstruck. He never thought that she could eat so much. "I see that your appetite is quite big."
"Hmph, I don't care. Here, go order yours and don't forget to get a cup of ice cream because it's hot today," said Anastasya as she gave Hayden the menu. Hayden quickly ordered his food and gave it back to the waitress.
As both of them were waiting for the food, Hayden gazed at the surroundings. He watched many people having fun with their group, children playing together with their friends and many couples spending their time happily with the person they love. Deeply inside, Hayden felt grateful that he got the chance to be reborn in this world.
Anastasya looked silently at Hayden, she didn't know what he was thinking right now, but she noticed that Hayden's expression seemed quite serious. Therefore, she didn't disturb him and let him be.
Shortly after, the foods came. Anastasya couldn't wait any longer and started eating right away. Hayden looked at the portion that she ate and laughed. He can only shake his head helplessly while thinking that she was indeed extraordinary.
"Are you still hungry?" Hayden asked Anastasya after they finished their food.
"It's fine. I am full, but we have a problem right now. We got only one cup of ice cream." Anastasya pouted. Hayden couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her helpless expression.
"It's okay, just eat it," said Hayden while laughing.
"No, the weather is a bit hot today, I want you also to enjoy eating an ice cream. How about this, come here and eat this together with me." Anastasya said to Hayden seductively while licking the spoon that has ice cream on it. Many men that were sitting near their place started to whisper and cursed Hayden silently.
Hayden covered his face with one hand and sighed. "You know what, just eat it yourself."

Glitch — Alpha [Swedish] [Svenska]
Otilia jobbar på förskolan när ett barn försvinner rakt framför ögonen på henne. Sekunder efteråt kommer barnet tillbaka, som att inget hänt. Hon tror att hon är överarbetad, men när försvinnanden börjar hända överallt och de som kommer tillbaka inte är sig själva, förstår Otilia att något, någonstans gått riktigt snett. När hon och hennes pojkvän får en idé om vad som kan vara orsaken gör de allt för att informationen ska komma fram till rätt personer. Detta är en skräck/thriller som innehåller ganska mycket blod och våld. Även mot och med barn. Om detta stör dig råder jag att du håller dig borta. Detta är också den första boken jag någonsin skrev (2015, och knappt rörd sedan dess) och var ämnad att bli en trilogi. Eftersom den bara har legat och skräpat i hårddisken under alla dessa år tänkte jag att jag lika gärna kunde släppa den här. Trevlig läsning! ********* For English readers: (Might as well add this information in English to save the lovely souls looking through our works some time) I probably won't translate this work, but I'm working on another translation within YA, if that's something you'd be interested in. This one's horror/thriller, so.. yeah. Maybe sometime in the future. Otilia works at a daycare when a child disappears. Seconds later, the child reappears, like nothing had happened. She thinks she's worked too much, but when disappearences start to happen all around the globe, she and her boyfriend realize that something has gone really, really wrong. When they get an idea about what could be the cause, no matter how unbelievable, they will do everything in their power to get the information to the right people. This was my first-ever-novel and my first gamelit story (though I had no idea that was a thing/genre at the time). This novel contains a lot of violence and blood and can be uncomfortable to read for some people. There is also some violence from, and off-screen violence to, children.
