Chapter 09: Debt – Part ll

• They walked and walked, talking about anything and everything they could find as they walked along the unpaved road. The way they chatted and laughed anyone could mistake them for long-lost friends, but they were extremely cautious not to slip past anything about them that they kept hidden inside the deepest pit of their souls. Their souls were entangled with their own past and memories that they kept out of reach and away from their selves and anyone, making sure that no one discovered the monsters of their past. They had come to a halt when the blaring sound of a truck filled the silent road. Onyx had lifted his hand in an attempt to stop the truck, to which the driver had stopped, and was kind enough to give them a lift.
• Onyx and Ophelia had climbed aboard and were on their way to their destinations. Ophelia slowly dozed off on Onyx's shoulder as he made small talk with the driver throughout the way. The slight vibration of the truck lulled her deep into sleep as Onyx's voice became fainter and fainter, and she succumbed to exhaustion. Her physic was tucked and molded over Onyx as she slept through the magic hour on a summer evening through the small road on the outskirts of Luxembourg.
• Onyx couldn't help but stare at the woman sleeping soundly with her head on his lap. From finding her walking alone in the street to the accident, it had been a long day.
