The Runaway is a Politician's Daughter Extra: A Collection of Poems
Extra I: No Motive Wracked with fear, I stood still, Gazing endlessly into the void. Eyes dull and uninterested, Contemplating what I will. I fear my own mind, question my sanity. Am I insane or merely delusional? You may know, but I never will. I'll never escape my vanity. Staring down the precipice of darkness, Swarmed by thoughts of ending it all. I fought valiantly for what seemed like an eternity, Clinging to whatever shred of reason for happiness. Dangling on the edge of my limit, My conviction
The Runaway is a Politician's Daughter The Flow of Time
A vision from the distant past, an intrepid detective and her unlikely partner... A tale of crime and wits, Project Name: Noire ⬛⬛⬛ A beige coated woman walked the dimly lit concrete ports of the city, a flashlight in hand as brown eyes scanned her surroundings. The damp docks of Riverside surely stank with seawater, but it was where she was based, and thus she had to live with it. "Heeeyy~ Found anything, Liz?~" A young woman in a white coat waved at her from the other side of the pier, her childish tone hiding what was undoubtedly the most intelligent mind she had ever come across. "I want to have some fun already~" Sadistic brat. With the same annoyed expre
The Runaway is a Politician's Daughter XIII Epilogue
Time moves forward. And while this tale slowly comes to an end, their story continues to unfold behind the scenes... ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ It's been a month and a half since that fateful day. A month and a half since that unassuming maintenance guy saved her from her own demise. Ever since then, Aletheia has begun to acclimatize once more to a rather, lavish lifestyle than the year and a half that she spent on the run. Not only have you acclimatized, you've already excelled~ Oh shut up. She can still live off of instant ramen and chump change just fine should the need arise. Says the girl that now spends over a thousand drachma a day on food alone~ The novelist chuckled to herself at the thought as she saved another word document on her laptop. Well,

"Lady Mendel, I propose one more bid." Hoho~ What does he have up his sleeve to be this bold?~ Aletheia's eyes widened as Eremes began his opening gambit, his left hand holding his smartphone as he stared at Mother dead in the eye. What was he planning? "An interesting proposal Mr. Patillo." Mother humored, her tone clearly not taking his offer seriously. "While we both know that you have nothing in terms of bargaining power, I'll humor you, just this once." A dangerous game, he's playing, no? Far too dangerous for her liking. Sweat trickled down her lightly make-upped cheek as Mother leaned closer to the repairman, both hands clasped under her chin as a sickly sweet smile masked the malice hidden underneath. The novelist's hands trembled in her lap as she hoped to god that Eremes knew

"Athena?" Peeking behind her disheveled hair, the hunched-up daughter struggled to hide her surprise as a familiar voice called out to her old name. Hopeless eyes feasted as the comforting familiarity of the repairman's visage eased the threatening abyss inside her. Eremes? What was he still doing here? Don't get your hopes up. "Take us to the ground floor, Mr. Patillo." Mother stated still in front of her, anger audibly bubbling beneath the faux politeness. "I do expect that you won't fail even that." "Yes ma'am." The elevator lurched, before slowly beginning its descent back down towards the cold unforgiving ground. Aletheia merely kept to herself, hoping that if she made herself small enough, Mother wouldn't notice her presence.

That was so awkward! Him and Athena? A couple? Not in a million years! Dragging the stunned author by her feet, Eremes high tailed out of the offending stall, his bundled up t-shirt in tow as he beelined towards an empty bench to sit on.

"I'm first!""I won!" Did they finish at the same time!? No way. She's sure she had it in the bag! "I finished fir-" *Hic* "-first Eremes!" The confident author proclaimed. "I saw

This was a horrible idea. Once brimming with cocky bravado, Athena instantly regretted ever underestimating the weaponized wings of hell that they called food on her plate. While admittedly quite delicious, each savory
