Barely In The World

"Wow, this is all too much. At least this explains why that secret cave, is actually existing in this real world but no human actually knows about it. And also if we think about it more, Sir Ethan escaped from prison but his picture hasn't even come up on any TV station yet. So in other words, people and places... that I created in the novel, is actually in this world but not fully virtual. It also explains, that since the prison I described in the novel is the same as the one in the real world, when the novel came to life.. Sir Ethan was able to appear naturally in the real life prison. Escaping was also easy for sir Ethan, because no one even noticed him.. not even the warden or the guards." Janice breathes out once she was done explaining her theory.

"Yeah, that's right." Daniel nods his head agreeing to Janice theory.

"I've got to ask. What's with the sir Ethan?" Daniel asked, eyeing me suspiciously. And now I wonder what does Janice calling me *sir* has to do with him. Why can't he just mind his business.

Janice coughs out, her cheeks turning a shade of bright pink.

"Because both Ethan, and Janice are involve in relationships tagged as... *BDSM* In other words, Janice is a Slave/pet to Ethan, and Ethan is her master... And Lord. I am presuming, that Ethan escaping from prison, his only thoughts was to get his revenge on the author who made him kill the love of his life. What better way to do that, if not dominating her?." Vivian smirked.

Vivian might have gotten Janice and I story right, but what she doesn't know, is that my slave has crept her way into me heart... now also dominating my heart, and making it her home.

"Hmm, once an author who could kill a character with just a pen or a simple press on her keyboard... Now is a slave in her own house to a fictional character in her novel. Isn't that iconic." Vivian laughs out, clapping her hands mockingly.

"Uhm, I need to drink some water." Janice murmurs rushing out of the office, her eyes staring at the ground in shame.

"Seriously, Vivian. Do you have to do that? For someone who just escaped death, you are really bitter." I spat out angrily, glaring at vivian.

"Bitter?." She huffed, folding both her hands underneath her boobs.

"Yeah, bitter. What has gotten into you? I can swear that you are not the Vivian that I know." I replied, shaking my head disappointedly at her

"Wow! Are you really asking me, what has gotten into me? Well, why don't you try dying in the hands of a man you thought you knew so much, try dying in the hands of a man you once love... Then come back to life, laying next to your grave with the sudden knowledge that you are actually a character in a book. All your life, has been nothing more but an entertainment for people to read. When that happens to you, you could come back to me and say those words you just said." She yelled breathing heavily, glares at me really strongly and then catwalks angrily out of the office.

"Just give her a break, Ethan. This whole drama is really taking a toll on her. Just give her time to adjust to this whole drama." Daniel pats me on the shoulder and then walks out of the office.

I guess he is right, I should take it easy on Vivian. But I can't just sit back and watch her bully Janice.

**************************************************************************************************

Janice POV:

My life is in complete chaos right now, just when I was begining to love living, life just had to bring more surprises into my life.

"Hey." Daniel said strolling into the kitchen casually. Ethan might be a really handsome devil, but Daniel... Daniel is a beautiful angel.

"Uhm.. hey." I replied back, my hands shaking as I tried to drop the bottle back into the fridge. Then I rinsed the glass cup I used in drinking water, and kept it where it belongs.

"I just want to say, that I am not angry at you for brutally ending my life in the hands of Ethan Smith. I came across Romeo and Juliet story, and I kind of felt much more like Romeo... Even though our death is totally different. But anyway, I do know.. that if you knew your characters had actually come to life, you wouldn't have killed us. So.... to sum it up... I do not blame you for my death, Janice." Daniel assured me softly, smiling at me comfortingly. I returned his smile, feeling comforted by his words.

"Thanks, Daniel. I really appreciate."

"You are welcome." He turns around, ready to leave the kitchen, but then stoped and turns back around again.

"You should also give Vivian some time. Between the both of us, I am sure you do know it's really hard for her to adjust to this whole situation. Since you did create her after all. We both know she finds it really hard to accept a situation she has no control of." He smiled at me one more time and left the kitchen.

He is right about Vivian, she must really hate her situation right now. She really did find it hard to choose between Daniel and Ethan... At a point she was Inlove with both.

I decided it would be best I go stay in my room, maybe that way I could put my raging mind at rest and try to figure out, the mystery behind my characters coming to life.

Getting back to my room, I had to stop by the door.. when I heard Vivian and my master's voice coming from inside my room. "What is it Vivian? Why did you call me in here?." I heard Ethan ask Vivian.

"Wow, you have changed Ethan... I must say, I don't remember you calling my name that way. It use to come out so soft and sweet from your mouth." Vivian voice comes up next.

"Vivian is there anything wrong?." Ethan asked, seriousness embedded in his voice.

"No... nothing, nothing is wrong." She replies him, I could picture her shaking her head at this moment.

"Then what is the matter? Why am I here, Vivian." Ethan asked, his voice sounding tired.

"Don't you miss me, Ethan Smith. Aren't you happy to see me Alive?.." Vivian asked with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"I do miss you Vivian. Hell! I am happy that you are alive."

I gulped nervously, should I really be listening to their conversation. What if I end up hearing something that would tear my heart to pieces.

"Then if you do miss me... Why don't you at least show it." She said, in a questioning way. Deciding to see what's going on in the room, I peeped through the door... Luckily either Vivian or Ethan, forgot to fully closed.

"What do you mean?." Ethan asked.

"You used to worship me back then. The Ethan I know, loved me so much to the extent that he couldn't even let me be with any man. I was an addiction to you Ethan, I was something you needed to get your day going smoothly. So why the sudden distant between the both of us.... For starters...." Vivian grins sexily, walking towards Ethan, in slow seductive steps.

"For starters, you could hug me tightly... Really passionately, and then.. move on to place kisses all over me, and finally, kiss me so sensually on the lips.. like you use to. Then to top it all, you could whisper how much you still love me in my ear, over and over again... While we soar into ecstasy." At this point Vivian was standing so close to Ethan, that there lips were barely far apart from each either.. just a single movement from any of them, and their body will be pressed against each other.

"What do you think, Ethan? Do you want to follow me into ecstasy? She asked, barely breathing freely, with so much lust reflecting in her eyes. I stared at Ethan... The look he had in his eyes, scared me. Hell! It broke my heart into a thousand pieces. He wants her, he wants her... He wants her, as much as she wants him!
