Ineffable

‘Cloudy… Cookie…’ Elian silently walked down the sidewalk towards the park that was near his home. He was still about what name could fit his dog friend better, he was thinking of various but none of them completely convinced him. The gentle sing of the cicadas around him helped to calm him down and made him almost forget that he had to go to a random (most probably eerie) building at 1 am.Elian adjusted his glasses so they wouldn’t fall off his nose and lifted up his crystal blue gaze the second he heard a bark in the distance. He stopped walking for a second and trained his eyes on the direction the bark came from, a wide sweet smile curving up Elian’s lips when he saw the same fluffy German Shepherd run towards him; tail wagging furiously after seeing the bleach blond that always gave him pets.Elian rushed towards the grassy part of the park, because he already knew what was coming for him: and just when he f

“Now, everyone please lower your voice,” Charolotte instructed in a hushed voice, pushing the back doors of the Palace open to let the other three teenagers enter. She looked back at them and placed a slender finger on her lips to make an emphasis on her sentence. “We don’t want anyone to know we’re here.”“It’s alright, you’re worrying too much,” Elijah whispered, patting Charolotte’s back with a rather relaxed look on his flickering brown eyes that could be compared with a lukewarm cup of coffee. It seemed like being on a restricted place didn’t affect Elijah at all along with Christopher who only roamed around with not really interested gray eyes.The only one to seemed to be following Charolotte’s orders was Elian, standing still behind her with a thin layer of sweat coating his skin – though since it was very dark, it wasn’t very noticeable.The group of teenagers fina

Dead.The word didn’t stop swirling around Elian’s head, taking a lot of time for his brain to process and accept the information he was just given.Christopher… was found dead? Even though Elian himself had never considered him as a friend and just an acquaintance, and yet now knowing that there was a rumor that Christopher was dead made goosebumps blossom in his back. He once had him in front of him, and now he was suddenly rumored dead?The fact that made Elian believe that perhaps it was true was that he didn’t exit the Palace after Charolotte, Elijah and him did. ‘Maybe… he got killed inside by the guards?’“Hello?” The classmate that was still in front of him suddenly waved her hand in front of Elian’s face who was zoning out; eventually making the male blink twice to come back to planet Earth and looked up at the woman with confused crystal blue eyes. &

The moonlight gently shone through the window that was next to both males and enlightened both of their bodies to make them visible to their eyes. Elian had a brief moment to look at the guard thanks to this, for he was quite curious as to how the guards in the Palace looked despite the fact that he knew that he should be running right now.The guard had a nicely tanned skin, a pair of half-lidded dark brown eyes that looked directly at him and his hair was short and a black color. Though when Elian squinted his eyes he realized that it was actually a dark blue color that looked almost black.Elian didn’t need to study the man’s physique to know that he was stronger and taller compared to him.Elian felt like the guard was a big panther, and he was a chihuahua dog.But even if the guard was kind of distracting Elian, the frightened teen still managed to stand on his feet and scramble away from the guard in a hurry. Elian knew that if he didn’t m

Similar to last night, Elian sat down near a few bushes and waited for Charolotte and Elijah to come out of the Palace with a twisting sensation in his stomach. He gradually decided that he would go back to his home because it was quite late, and his back was starting to hurt (also that he wasn’t able to keep his eyes open any longer, he almost fell on his face because he was nodding off while he kept a crouching position). If Elian wouldn’t have distracted his mind with the guard that he met that night, he would be already crying his eyes out from how anxious he was feeling about his friends not coming out of the Palace.Why was he the only one that was able to come out? Was it because of the guard?…There went his mind again, it was trailing back to the guard.Elian couldn’t hear his footsteps as he walked back towards his home at a rather quick pace, his mind seeming to be louder than the outside world. No matter how
