Prophecy Of Doom

Five days later in Amara’s bathroom

In Amara’s head: Rico’s birthday went well, he was happy. Why wouldn’t he be? He’s surrounded by people who truly love him and care for him. I don’t have good memories of birthdays. If it weren’t for Rico I would’ve never attended a birthday party but seeing him happy made me happy too. Isn’t it crazy how fast time flies when you’re with people you like? (Amara’s room)

Amara: “Can you zip me up?”

Ryan: “Sure. Could you stop moving? You love torturing me, don’t you?”

Amara: “Maybe. Does it make you feel uncomfortable?”

Ryan: “What?”

Amara: “When I’m this close?”

Ryan: “You’re sitting on my lap, you can feel it if I’m uncomfortable or anything else.”

In Ryan’s head: She cupped my face, the gentle touch of her fingers sent shock waves throughout my body. Her eyes…God has really taken his time when creating this magnificent creature.

Ryan: “Do you know what your touch does to me?”

Amara: “You said it tortures you.”

Ryan: “And I crave this torture every minute.”

Amara: “So what is this meeting all about?”

Ryan: “It’s just business, love.”

Amara: “So you’re gonna be busy all day?”

Ryan: “I’m busy for everyone else but not for you. If you need me, I’ll be here.”

Amara: “So you should get going.”

Ryan: “I have time, they’re gonna take a half an hour drive to arrive here.”

Amara: “Here?”

Ryan: “Yes, first they’ll come here then Luca will escort them to the meeting spot.”

Amara: “Okay. (in the living room)”

In Amara’s head: Well, well…he forgot to tell me that the people who are gonna attend this meeting are the leaders of the most influential group in this world. How do I know them? A few of them are Drako’s clients but they don’t know about me. I’m Drako’s sister and that’s why they’re staring at me as if I’m some prey they wanna devour. I don’t wanna spill blood and ruin Diavolo’s meeting. I should leave. But then I felt a grip on my waist. I know this touch, and whose hands they are. He spun me around and his eyes met mine as if he was asking me am I okay?

Amara: “What are you doing?”

Ryan: “Claiming what’s mine and showing them they better lower their gaze if they don’t want to end up dead.”

Zak: “Giggles?”

In Amara’s head: That voice…but how could that be?

Amara: “Zak!!”

Zak: “What are you doing here?”

Amara: “It’s a long story.”

Zak: “Why is he looking at me as if he wants to slit my throat?”

Amara: “Because that’s what he wants to do.”

Ryan: “Gentlemen, Luca will escort you to the meeting spot.”

Luca: “This way.”

Ryan: “Care to explain why you’re hugging this man?”

Amara: “We’re friends.”

Ryan: “Friends? Your friend is the head of the Bratva, you know that?”

Amara: “Yes.”

Ryan: “When did you even meet him, in Russia? What were you doing in Russia?”

In Amara’s head: Hmm…what was I doing in Russia? Good question. (flashback in Russia in the ring then on a roof aiming a missile then in a bar with Zak)

Zak: “You took too long.”

Amara: “I was craving burgers.”

Zak: “You were willing to sacrifice my ass for a cheeseburger?”

Amara: “I made it on time, didn’t I? I should’ve brought the big boys.”

Zak: “Is there any chance we’ll make it out alive tonight?”

Amara: “100%. (present time). You know, the regular stuff. I was having fun. He’s one of Damon’s clients, that’s how I met him.”

Ryan: “You guys are really friends?”

Zak and Amara: “Yes.”

Irina: “Amara?”

Amara: “You’re also here?”

Irina: “In the flesh. What are you doing here?”

Amara: “Long story. Is that him?”

Irina: “Yes. Meet Eduard.”

Amara: “Aren’t you beautiful.”

Zak: “Of course he is. I make beautiful babies.”

Amara: “You? Yes, your 55 to 65 micrometers contribution will be remembered.”

Zak: “What?”

Amara: “Nothing, she got it. (later outside). Are you okay?”

Irina: “I’m fine, just a little jet-lagged. So you and Diavolo, huh?”

Amara: “I don’t know what to say.”

Irina: “I’m happy for you.”

Amara: “And I am for you. How’s everything going?”

Irina: “Perfect. I didn’t know I had it in me to be a mother but Eduard...what I wouldn’t do for my little human. Everything I’ve gone through in my life was worth it. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Amara: “So you’re saying you have no regrets whatsoever?”

Irina: “I do have one regret...I mean it’s kind of a wish.”

Amara: “What is it?”

Irina: “I told you about this assassin, do you remember? The Shadow Huntress? I remember fighting with her and suddenly she was gone.”

Amara: “You would never let it go, would you?”

Irina: “I wanna fight her again.”

Amara: “What if you lose again? You would hate her even more?”

Irina: “I don’t hate her, I admire her skills and that’s why I wanna fight her again and even if I lose again, I’d be satisfied. Tell me about you. Honestly, I never expected to see you like this.”

Amara: “Like what?”

Irina: “Calm. I mean you were always calm even when there was chaos all around you but it’s different. You can start by telling what you’re doing here. (after the meeting in front of the house)”

Ryan: “So the two of you are really friends?”

Zak: “I know what you’re trying to ask but trust me, we’re just friends. When we met I was already in love and she knew.”

Ryan: “Why would you be friends with some random girl?”

Zak: “For the same reason you would date that random girl. We both know she’s not a random girl so if you hurt her then you and I will have a problem.”

Ryan: “Wait a second. So if she’s your friend, does that mean she was also present at the event in Russia last year?”

Zak: “Of course. And guess who gave her the invitation?”

Ryan: “She’s your friend, obviously you did.”

Zak: “It wasn’t me.”

Ryan: “You’re the head, only you can decide who is going to be attending the event.”

Zak: “The Boogeyman himself.”

Ryan: “Your father? He invited her?”

Zak: “He respects her, he had given her the invitation himself and you know my family only respects those who have great care there and are tough as nails.”

Ryan: “Impressive. Who am I kidding? That woman is pure perfection.”

Zak: “No shit. But I’m happy for her, she looks different.”

Ryan: “Different in what way?”

Zak: “Peaceful. The last time I saw her she wasn’t like this but how did you two meet?”

Ryan: “I kidnapped Damon and somehow she tracked me down and the next day she was here, she had gotten past all the security and cameras all by herself.”

Zak: “You can’t be serious. Did you really kidnap Damon?”

Ryan: “Yes.”

Zak: “And she left you alive? The Amara I know would’ve killed you first and then she would ask the reason why you kidnapped her brother. She must really like you. You don’t know their bond. Damon is her everything. She’s protective of him as he is for her. The bond between them is unlike anything I’ve seen. Even between blood relatives.”

Ryan: “At first I couldn’t believe that they weren’t related.”

Zak: “He means everything to her, she doesn’t trust anyone but there is something that is similar to trust then she has, it only for him.”

Ryan: “She doesn’t trust anyone?”

Zak: “Never. She’s the only one who showed me you can live without trusting anyone. She either knows everything or she doesn’t care enough to know anything but I know I can trust her with my secrets but I can’t expect her to trust me. Sounds weird but that’s why we’re friends. I know she’s loyal and brutally honest. (later on the rooftop bar)”

Amara: “You didn’t tell her, did you?”

Zak: “Tell her what?”

Amara: “About The Shadow Huntress.”

Zak: “I’m a man of my word and this secret is going to my grave with me.”

Amara: “And if she found out herself, you’d be in your grave sooner than you expected.”

Zak: “Diavolo’s in the dark as well.”

Amara: “You know I don’t trust anyone with my secrets and there’s a lot we don’t know about each other.”

Zak: “You’re serious about him?”

Amara: “I don’t fuck around, you know. If I agree to give this a go, it means I’m serious.”

Zak: “Of course, how could I even question that? But it’s not easy for me to digest that you’re dating someone.”

Amara: “It’s hard for me to adjust to this reality.”

Zak: “By the way, someone was asking for The Shadow Huntress.”

Amara: “Why didn’t you tell him that he can’t afford to pay her fees. And she’s gone for good and I hope she never has to come back. (one month later in the hallway). I didn’t know you were so good at it. You’re hitting the spot, man. Yeah, don’t stop. (in Amara’s room). Right there. (Ryan runs in). Why did you stop?”

Aria: “Because my brother is having a heart attack.”

Amara: “What?”

Aria: “You should see your face.”

Amara: “He seems fine to me.”

Aria: “Trust me, he had a few heart attacks here and you making those noises. I’ll wait in the car, don’t be late because the beach is calling us.”

Amara: “Of course.”

In Ryan’s head: Look at her. Standing there all innocent after giving me a heart attack.

Ryan: “Why were you making those sounds?”

Amara: “What sounds?”

Ryan: “Don’t act all innocent now.”

Amara: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ryan: “Only I can make you shout like that.”

Amara: “You didn’t tell me you’re also capable of giving me a good massage.”

Ryan: “I can give you a lot of good things if you’d let me. But right now all I want is that enticing lips of yours on mine.”

In Ryan’s head: Every time our lips touch, I don’t want the moment to end. Yet in the back of my head there’s always a voice telling me ‘if I won’t break away from this kiss then I might lose control’. Sometimes it’s hard for me to control my urge. I wanna mark her but I can’t hurt her, she’s not ready for marking or even becoming mine. I don’t know when I’m gonna find the courage to tell and show her my true self. She started kissing me with such intensity that all of my hunting thoughts disappeared. Everything else went blurry, there’s just both of us. It’s the first time I’m feeling her losing control. She never kissed me with such hunger and passion before. She wants me as much as I want her.

Luca: “Boss!”

Amara: “We should go.”

Ryan: “I’m gonna kill him. (on the beach)”

Rico: “You’re the brother of my angel…that makes you an angel too, huh? Do you have wings? Show me your wings. Can you fly? Are you an imposter?”

Damon: “Did Amara show you her wings?”

Rico: “I didn’t ask because I know she’s an angel but you…I have doubts about you.”

Damon: “I can’t show you my wings because you’ll get scared.”

Rico: “Why? Is it that ugly?”

In Amara’s head: For a very long time, all I longed for was peace. I never cared about happiness because happiness always has a price. Things are changing, I’m changing. I’m getting used to him, to this new found happiness. I know it’s not lust or infatuation or something that’ll fade away with time. What I feel for him will get stronger. This man is messing with my head and my self-control. I’m in no position to complain because I’m enjoying every second.
