Prophecy Of Doom

Three months later rooftop bar

In Amara’s head: Three months passed. A lot has happened in between like I thought Damon was ready to give dating another chance but…(flashback Damon’s room)

Amara: “How’s it going, brother?”

Damon: “What are you talking about?”

Amara: “At the club I saw you with that woman, the next day doing the walk of shame.”

Damon: “That’s exactly what it was, the walk of shame because it was a mistake and I felt bad about it.”

Amara: “Oh. She knew that right?”

Damon: “We both knew it meant nothing. I know you want me to start dating again but it’s not gonna happen, little one and it wouldn’t be fair to her if I dated someone just because she looked like my dead wife.”

Amara: “I didn’t know.”

Damon: “That’s the reason I went to talk to her at the club was because for a moment I thought it was Elora in front of me. I know you wanna see me happy but trust me, I’ve lived my life. I’ve experienced everything a person should experience. Pain, suffering, love, heartbreak, everything. I regret nothing and the place I have in my heart for Elora, I can’t give it to anyone else.”

Amara: “I understand and I respect that, brother. (in the garden)”

In Amara’s head: And I also witnessed two lost and broken souls finding each other finding comfort in each other. At first, I was skeptical about them spending too much time together. Why? Because I don’t trust anyone with children. Children are easy prey for predators. They’re easy to manipulate, that’s why predators prey on them. It’s our responsibility to protect innocent souls and precaution is better than being sorry. Anyways, I’m glad Emmett is merely looking for his son in Arnold and Arnold is becoming a father figure. (present time). It seems everything is going well, but how long will it last? (Amara’s room that night)

Amara: “What is it?”

Ryan: “You always seem to know when I have something to say. How do you do that?”

Amara: “Your expressions.”

Ryan: “My expressions barely convey anything. You’re just smart, love. I was thinking about what you said the other day about your parents. If you knew they’re not your real parents, why didn’t you try to find your biological parents? I can help you if you want.”

Amara: “Who said I didn’t try? I did everything I could do to find my parents but I failed. And trust me, you can’t help. I’ve already tried everything.”

Ryan: “Is it important to you?”

In Amara’s head: Yeah, my whole life has been a lie. I wanna know my parents. Who are they? Maybe I’d be able to find out about my abilities too and why I had them in the first place. Why am I like this and all the unanswered questions will get answered.

Amara: “Yeah, it’s important. Do you miss them?”

Ryan: “My parents? Yes, their memories never fade. I remember every moment I spent with them. It also reminds me of their painful death and that I still haven’t avenged them.

Amara: “Aria once mentioned they were murdered…by whom?”

Ryan: “You know people think we're monsters. That we have no feelings, no mercy whatsoever but that’s not true, we’re not the real threat. The real threat is out there, who kill people without any reason, they're merciless, cruel, they sell women and children as if they are just mere objects. They’re the ones who have no emotions at all and my parents were killed by one of them.”

Amara: “You said you couldn’t avenge them. Why? I mean people never dare cross you because you always make sure they suffer the consequences. Then how come the murderer of your parents are still alive?”

Ryan: “Because I have a family to protect. All these people who stand behind me. Their safety is my responsibility and I can’t sacrifice all of that to avenge my parents. It’s not fair to them.”

In Amara’s head: The things I’ve heard about you clearly indicate you’re the most feared man out there but you just said there’s someone else who commits heinous crimes. How come I don’t know about them? I pretty much know every crime group. I’ve dealt with a lot of them. (the next morning). Time to get dressed.

Amara: “Karl…”

Karl: “I did as you said, it’s ready.”

Amara: “Okay good, I’ll be back in New York and change the algorithm and I’ll also check the anomaly that occurred a few days ago. You said it’s heating up fast and suddenly started using a lot more energy than it should?”

Karl: “Yes and I couldn’t find the reason because you haven’t given me full access.”

Amara: “If I give an AI full access of the most powerful machine in this world it would be disastrous for humanity because if someone gets his hands on you, he’ll get the key to everything and no matter how much I hate people I can’t let it happen, can I?”

Karl: “I can’t get hacked because I’m protected by the most intelligent creature. (Ryan’s office)”

Luca: “The meeting will be held in the Sapphire building.”

Ryan: “I guess I’m going to Paris then.”

Luca: “I’m gonna inform Argyros about your departure.”

Ryan: “What’s on your mind?”

Luca: “I know I shouldn’t say this but I wanted to tell you to be careful when you’re with Amara. I mean your bite is lethal to werewolves, vampires and humans. Although we don’t know what creature she is, but your venom can kill her.”

In Ryan’s head: Luca’s right. No matter how much I wanna live normally with Amara, it’s not possible because I’m not normal and even while kissing her I have to be careful.

Ryan: “What you’re saying is true, and don’t worry. I can’t even think of hurting her.”

Luca: “Okay. (Amara’s room later that day)”

Ryan: “I’ve gotta go to Paris, I have a meeting.”

Amara: “So how long will you be gone?”

Ryan: “Two days, we’ll be gone for two days.”

Amara: “We?”

Ryan: “Yes we. How did you think I would leave you here?”

Amara: “You’ll be busy with your meetings, what am I gonna do there?”

Ryan: “I’ll make time for you and I wanna experience Paris with you. Have you ever been to Paris?”

Amara: “Once. It was work related though.”

Ryan: “Then you’re coming with me.”

Amara: “I have to go to New York.”

Ryan: “We can go to New York after I’m done with my meetings.”

Amara: “No, you’ll come back to Italy after you’re done with your meetings and then I’ll go to New York.”

Ryan: “Why can’t I come with you? I’m not gonna let you go alone.”

Amara: “I’m not a child. I can travel alone. Do you think I can’t take care of myself?”

Ryan: “I didn’t say that but-”

Amara: “It’s not like I’m going for a long time. I’ll be back in two to three days. What are you scared of? I’ll be back before you know it. (Damon’s room). Going somewhere?”

Damon: “Aren’t we both?”

Amara: “I’m going to Paris with Diavolo then I’ve got some work to do in New York.”

Damon: “I’m going to my hometown. I wanna spend time with my Elora.”

Amara: “Should I come with you?”

Damon: “Oh no, you go to Paris and get done with your work in New York. When you come back, you’ll find me here.”

Amara: “Are you sure?”

Damon: “Of course. Just take care of yourself.”

Amara: “You too, brother. (on the plane). Where are we staying?”

Ryan: “In my penthouse of course. (Ryan’s penthouse in Paris - the next evening). Are you ready, love?”

Amara: “Yes.”

Ryan: “Holy shit. How do you manage to leave me speechless every time?”

Amara: “Shall we?”

Ryan: “After you, my love. (at a restaurant by the Eiffel Tower then ice skating and then slow dancing - back at the penthouse). I hope you enjoyed yourself.”

Amara: “I definitely did, everything was perfect.”

In Amara’s head: I felt chills running down my spine as he placed kisses on my neck.

Ryan: “Tell me to stop because if you don’t, then I can’t hold myself back any longer.”

Amara: “I don’t want you to stop.”

Ryan: “Those are some dangerous words, you know that right?”

Amara: “I know and I think I’m ready.”

Ryan: “Ready for what? You have to be more specific, love.”

Amara: “I want you.”

In Amara’s head: He gripped me tighter as he looked into my eyes. I know he wants me as much as I want him, there’s no denying we are burning in the same flame of desires.

Ryan: “Say that again.”

Amara: “I want you, all of you. I want you to be my first.”

In Ryan’s head: Did she just say first? Fuck, she wants me to be her first. I didn’t expect that. I know I don’t deserve her.

Ryan: “Did you just say first?”

Amara: “Yes, I want you to be my first.”

Ryan: “I’ll be your first…last and one and only. (the next morning in bed). Morning.”

Amara: “Good morning.”

Ryan: “I’m sure you wanna eat something, I made breakfast.”

Amara: “How about a dessert first?”

Ryan: “I can arrange that.”

Amara: “You don’t have to, it’s right in front of me. (later). Don’t you have a meeting?”

Ryan: “Let them wait. (the next day)”

Amara: “Why is my bag vibrating?”

Ryan: “I’ve put a cell phone in there.”

Amara: “Why?”

Ryan: “Why? So that I could call you and you’re gonna answer it. I’m not gonna let you go without a cell phone, love.”

Amara: “I’ll see you in a few days.”

Ryan: “I don’t like the sound of that but I guess I've got no choice. Call me if anything happens and if you don’t show up in three days I’ll come to New York.”

Amara: “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. (twelve hours later in New York Amara’s work control room and weapons - twenty hours later)”

In Amara’s head: That’s weird. More than thirty hours have passed and he hasn’t called me. Let’s just get this over with so that I can go back. (one day in Italy at the airport). I didn’t inform him that my flight had landed. I’m anxious because he didn’t call me or leave me a text and when I tried to call him his phone was switched off. I won’t lie that I didn’t miss him. Because I missed him more than I’m willing to accept. I didn’t get a wink of sleep in the last three days but it doesn’t seem like he missed me at all. Or maybe I’m thinking too much. Yes, I’m thinking too much. Maybe he was really busy and that’s why he didn’t get a chance to call or even leave a damn message. Anyways, it doesn’t matter now, I’m just an hour away from him. (an hour later back at the house Amara’s room). He’s not here. Why did I think he would be here. He must be in his room. (Ryan’s room). What the…? Did I fall asleep on the flight and I’m dreaming because there’s no way in hell what I’m witnessing in front of me could be real but I could feel a lump building up in my throat that was making it hard to breathe. But her voice cleared all my thoughts. (Silvia in lingerie in Ryan’s room)

Silvia: “Look who’s here. The cheater.”

Amara: “What the fuck is this, Diavolo?!”

Ryan: “I should be asking you the same question, Amara. What the fuck is this? Is this why you went to New York? To sleep with this fucker?”

In Amara’s head: He threw his phone near my feet expecting me to pick it up and watch whatever bullshit he had planned. I won’t check it because the reason is simple. I didn’t sleep with anyone. I have record of every night of my damn life even of those nights when I was unconscious. How dare he accuse me of cheating?

Amara: “Are you accusing me of sleeping with another man? When you’re the one who’s naked with this bitch?”

Ryan: “Check the damn phone, that might refresh your memory.”

Amara: “I won’t check the phone. I would’ve checked it if you came to me and asked me before fucking this slut but I’m not gonna check it anymore nor am I gonna explain anything.”

Ryan: “I don’t wanna hear any explanation.”

Amara: “You don’t deserve to hear one. Was any of it real? The things you said, the time you spent with me…was it real? Tell me you fucking coward. Tell me the fucking truth.”

Ryan: “It wasn’t real. How do you think I’d be serious for a girl like you? I just wanted to sleep with you and after that, I didn’t know what to do with you. You can’t even-”

Amara: “Say it…”

In Amara’s head: I knew what I was gonna say and I wanted to hear it, I wanted to hear him say it so that my pathetic heart could hear it and could bury whatever feelings I have for him.

Ryan: “You can’t even provide me an heir. You’re gorgeous, I would’ve kept you if you could provide me with an heir.”

Sivila: “What? She’s infertile? Why am I shocked? If you had listened to me then none of this would’ve happened. I told you to stay away from him if you don’t want to end up being his one night stands. Now look, you ended up like those girls and you do remember what I called you when we first met? ‘One of Diavolo’s sluts’. That’s exactly what you are now.”

Amara: “You’re protecting her? Good, you should protect her and keep her near you at all times because I’m gonna kill her when I get a chance. Regardless of whether she’d be the mother of your child, I won’t hesitate.”

In Amara’s head: How pathetic.

Amara: “Diavolo, you know…I wanna bathe you in your blood right now.”

Ryan: “What’s stopping you?”

Amara: “You’re fucking dead to me already and if I kill you now then that would be a reward for you. Death is a reward for people like you, Diavolo and there’s no way in hell I’ll give you that reward. It would be more comforting for me to watch you suffer as long as you live or maybe I won’t see you at all ever again. (Damon’s room). Drako…”

Damon: “Yes? What happened? Are you okay?”

Amara: “Never better. Get your important things, we’re leaving.”

Damon: “Leaving where?”

Amara: “You’re my brother, right?”

Damon: “Y-yes…little one.”

Amara: “Then you won’t ask me what happened. We’re leaving right now. I have to leave before I destroy everything.”

In Damon’s head: Her eyes.

Damon: “Okay, but where are we going? Whatever it is, it’ll pass, little one.”

Amara: “Where no one can find us.”
