Lėtai pramerkiau akis ir aplinkui išvydau šviesiai mėlynas sienas. Kas per...? Palaukit, čia ligoninė, tiesa?
Pro duris įžengė Zayn, rankoje laikydamas puodelį arbatos arba kavos.
- O, jau pabudai? - nustebo.
- Kiek laiko mes čia? - paklausiau.
- Porą valandų, nesijaudink, lenktynės jau tikrai pasibaigė. - pasakė.
- Aš ne dėl to.
- Tuomet dėl ko?
- Aš buvau su Lea ir aš nežinau kaip ji grįš namo.
- Manau, Rayder ją jau pasiėmė.
- Kodėl tu taip manai?
- Aš tai žinau.
Pavarčiau akis ir patogiau įsitaisiau. Zayn prisėdo ant sofutės ir gurkštelėjo savo gėrimo.
- Ar ilgai aš čia būsiu? - paklausiau.
- Nežinau, gydytojas tik pasakė, kad turėsi kurį laiką praleisti namuose.
- Tu gal juokauji? Aš išprotėsiu!
- Nemanau. Man atrodo turėsi lankytojų kiekvieną dieną.
- Čia apie save kalbi? - pakėliau antakį.
- Galbūt, bet atsakyk man, kodėl melavai ir dalyvavai tose lenktynėse?
Įsitempiau. Negalvojau apie tai ką turėsiu jam pasakyti, kai jis paklaus būtent šito. Po velnių.
- Tiesą sakant... Bet palauk, kaip tu ten atsiradai? - staiga pakeičiau temą.
- Nesijaudink, nedalyvavau jose, aš tiesiog atvažiavau pažiūrėti.
- O kaip Bri?
- O kas su ja blogai?
- Juk ji tave kvietė.
- Tu ir vėl apie tą patį? Juk sakiau, kad galiu tai paaiškinti, tačiau tu mane išvarei.
- Na, tai aš klausau dabar. - susikryžiavau rankas ties krūtine.
Zayn atsiduso ir pakilo nuo sofutės, priėjęs prie šiukšlinės išmetė vienkartinį puodelį, tuomet nuėjo prie lango ir nugara atsirėmė į palangę.
- Pameni, tu klausei ar tarp manęs ir Bri kažkas vyko? - pradėjo.
Linktelėjau.
- Taigi... Tarp mūsų buvo kažkas. Nepavadinčiau to meile ar dar kažkuo stipresniu, man atrodo tai tebuvo tik aistra. Tačiau ta aistra mus traukė vienas prie kito, bet tik lovoje. Mes net nebuvome pora ir be to, jei Bri brolis būtų tai sužinojęs... Tikriausiai jau seniai gulėčiau po žeme.

- Nori pasakyti jis dar iki dabar nieko nežino?
Zayn linktelėjo.
- Gerai, o kaip? Nesuprantu kaip galima tai nuslėpti, o galų gale, kaip Bri nuo tavęs dar nepastojo?
- Jei atvirai, tai būtent dėl to Max nieko ir nežino. Bri buvo pastojusi, tačiau ji nutraukė nėštumą man to nežinant, bet iškilo kita problema.
- Kokia?
- Ji nebegalės turėti vaikų. Dėl to nusprendėme viską užbaigti.
- Oh... - nutęsiau.
Nebežinojau ką daugiau galėčiau pasakyti. Kad ir kokia kalė Bri bebūtų, niekada nelinkėčiau jai nieko panašaus. Tačiau, o kaip Zayn? Jis kalba apie visa tai lyg jam tai net nerūpėtų. Tai keista...
- Zayn, o kaip tu reagavai į tai, kai Bri tau pasakė apie vaiką? - paklausiau iš smalsumo.
Zayn žiūrėjo į mane, bet tylėjo.
- Aš nežinau... Ta prasme... - jo balsas trūkinėjo ir jis nerado tinkamų žodžių kaip pradėti kalbą.
- Jei tau sunku, gali ir nepasakoti. - pratariau matydama, kad jis nesugebės man nieko papasakoti.
Jis menkai šyptelėjo.
- Gydytoja sakė, kad tave paleis galbūt net rytoj. - prasitarė.
- Kodėl nesakei to pirmai? - šiek tiek nustebau.
Jis patrūkčiojo pečiais ir priėjo prie mano lovos, atsisėdo ant jos krašto. Tuomet pažvelgė tiesiai į mane.
- Žinai, žadėjau tavęs kai ko paklausti, bet kai dabar susidarė tokia situacija... Vargu ar verta klausti. - kalbėjo Zayn.
- O ko tu nori paklausti? - susidomėjau.
- Na, supranti, mano mama su mano sesutėmis žada išvykti už miesto kelioms savaitėms. - tęsė.
- Ir? Prie ko čia aš?
- Galvojau galbūt norėtum kurį laiką pagyventi kartu? Aišku, tiesiog kaip paprasti draugai. - pasakė.
- Hm... Nežinau, bet vargu ar su tavimi butų įmanoma gyventi paprastai. - nusijuokiau.
- O kodėl ne? - jo antakiai pakilo iš nuostabos.
- Tai sakai įmanoma? O tu neužsimanysi kokių tai žaidimų?
- Ta prasme? - sutriko.

Nesmarkiai pliaukštelėjau delnu sau per kaktą.
- Asile tu, aš kalbu apie lovą. - pasakiau.
- Oh... Na, nežinau. O tu šito norėtum? - žiurėjo į mane.
Pasimečiau. Nesitikėjau, kad jis išdrįs manęs paklausti to paties.
- Um... Ne. - paprastai atsakiau.
- Tikrai? - staiga jis priartėjo prie manęs.
Jis per arti! Po galais!
Jaučiau, kad širdis tuoj iššoks iš krūtinės. Malonus Zayn kvepalų kvapas mane tiesiog svaigino.
Pajutau Zayn ranką ant savosios, ji švelniai glostė mano odą. Tai sukėlė šiurpuliukus. Zayn pažvelgė į mano lūpas, tuomet į akis ir kvailai šyptelėjo.
- Žinau, kad to nori, Dia. - sušnabždėjo prie pat mano lūpų.

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.

Knight’s Fate: Knight and Princess
When war finally ended, the Arcadians sought retribution from the nightmares they had suffered from demonkind. A noble Princess had taken her mother's mantle in order to uphold peace between the two races so humanity could co-exist with their fellow demons in a kingdom without strife, but war paved the road to peace in blood and such path is but a fragile thread awaiting to be ignited by the flames of hatred. Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it?Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.
