When was the yellow school bus invented?
Those black stripes are there to help protect the children in the event of a collision. They are known as "rub rails" and they also stop a car that hits the side of the bus from harming the entire side of the vehicle.
The three black rails that run along the sides and back of the bus are called rub rails. Each bus has them and here's why. First, they're an extra layer of protection for the thin walls of a school bus. They'll absorb the force of a collision and a car from caving in the whole side of a bus.
Hoods painted flat black help to reduce glare. They're especially helpful this time of year as the sun stays lower in the sky.
According to the California law (CVC 22454), motorists must remain stopped as long as the red lights on the school bus are flashing. … Some school buses flash yellow lights when preparing to stop to let children off the bus. The yellow lights are a warning to driver to slow down and prepare to stop.

A school bus crossing arm is a safety device intended to protect children from being struck while crossing in front of a school bus.
The simple answer is that they don't need them. In a cost/benefit analysis, the cost of adding seat belts to school buses outweighs any potential benefits, according to NHTSA studies. Modern school buses are large and heavy, and their passengers sit high off the ground. … School buses are designed to be safe.
According to this nearly 20-year-old New York Times article, the reason is that white tops are more reflective, lowering the temperature inside the bus by an average of 10 degrees during the summer. …
It's also a matter of safety. Federal law in the United States requires that, in addition to flashing lights and safety devices, school buses must be painted "school bus yellow." Before the standard school bus yellow color was developed, school buses were a pure yellow, closer to the color of a lemon.
The purpose of equipping buses with roof mount strobe lights is to alert motorists that a school bus is in the vicinity. This may be especially helpful in severe weather conditions, such as rain, fog, smog, and snow, where the vision of approaching motorists is more obscured.
Since the lateral peripheral vision of yellow is 1.24 times greater than the red colour, it is more visible than the red itself. … That's why the school bus is painted yellow to lessen the possibility of an accident for the bus filled with children on the highway.
IT IS INTERESTING: Are school buses bulletproof?
The two amber lights on both the front and the rear of each school bus are Warning Lights used just before the bus comes to a stop to load or unload children. The driver activates the amber lights in rural areas a distance of 500 feet from the stop. In urban areas, amber lights are activated 200 feet from the stop.
When a school bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children, the driver of the bus will activate flashing yellow lights. When these flashing yellow lights are activated, all drivers approaching the school bus should slow down and be prepared to stop.
If you see flashing yellow lights, that means the school bus is about to stop. … If you're going the opposite direction, though, passing a school bus with flashing yellow lights is okay. If you see flashing red lights, that means the bus has stopped and is loading or unloading students.
Origin. In April 1939, Dr. Frank W. Cyr, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York organized a conference that established 44 uniform national design, construction, and safety standards for school buses in America, including the exterior body color.

Bone Cancer Research Trust asked us to use Bone Cancer Awareness Week to improve the public's awareness and understanding of primary bone cancer, a disease that affects around 450 people – mainly children and young adults – each year. They also wanted to raise awareness of delays in vital x-ray referrals caused by GPs' misdiagnosis.
We sourced, updated and repackaged a report from West Midlands Cancer Intelligence Unit which said survival rates for primary bone cancer had stayed the same for the past 25 years. By linking this to calls for faster x-ray referrals from GPs, we were able to create a strong national news story. We backed this with inspirational case studies to bring the campaign messages to life.
We achieved more than 100 separate items of media coverage, including national TV and national press, reaching more than 41 million people. Over a third of the coverage featured case studies, and 97 per cent of the articles mentioned the need for faster x-ray referrals. As a result, there was a 60 per cent rise in Google searches for bone cancer, compared to the same week in 2011. BCRT website traffic tripled during the week, as did the number of Facebook fans.
The campaign won two Chartered Institute of Public Relations PRide Awards.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center's annual Volunteer Auxiliary Lights of Love tree lighting ceremony took place Sunday, Nov. 21 on the hospital grounds in Hartsville.
Keynote speaker this year was Phyllis Griggs, retired athletic director of at Hartsville High School and former member of the Carolina Pines Board of Trustees.
Griggs said when asked to speak at the Lights of Love tree lighting she agreed without hesitation and immediately began to think how she would tie in lights with Carolina Pines — and then the children's song "This Little Light of Mine" got stuck in her head.
She said those who know her well know she loves music and always finds a way to let the words of hymns be her message.
The first verse of the song begins "This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine."
Griggs said in Bible, Mathew 5:16, Jesus said to let your light shine before men in order that they may see your good deeds and "glorify your Father in heaven." She said that Jesus said we are the "light of the word" and are to be a "beacon of light" to others.
"Carolina Pines offers that beacon of light with around the clock care and constantly growing in knowledge and expertise. Always finding a way to be there for anyone in need," Griggs said.
The second verse starts: "All around the neighborhood, I'm going to let it shine…"
"Carolina Pines lets its light shine each and every day through the great medical staff, administration, custodial and food services throughout our community," Griggs said. "Even when times get hectic and tough, you always keep your light shining although you may feel your batteries are running short on power."
In the next verse of the song, Griggs said people will see their good works by their deeds whether it is a smile offered a stranger in the waiting room or comfort to a patient who has lost all hope with no one around to offer them love and support.

"You'll shine on each other as you often get exhausted from the struggles and burdens of pain and sadness," Griggs said.
Griggs said there will be many times when others will try to blow out your light by unkind words.
"This is when we need to truly depend on Him to give us the strength that we need to keep our light burning brightly for all of those around us," she said. "Jesus is the light of the world."
She said Jesus is the reason for the season and "permeates through the Christmas lights."
"Like the rest of the hustle and bustle of the season, the lights are meant to remind us to celebrate, not replace the reason we celebrate," Griggs said.
Griggs said Christmas is that "special time of year when everyone stops and focuses a bit more on giving to others…"
"Let us this holiday season allow all of these lights to brighten the light in our hearts so that everyone we see will see our light is shining brightly and will feel the love emitted from the true light who is Jesus Christ our Lord," Griggs said. "Twinkle on, Christmas lights."
Carolina Pine chaplain Ralph Wase, honorary Christmas tree lighter, waved his special wand and the lights on the tree came on for all to see.
Bill Little, CEO of Carolina Pines, welcomed guests. He said it has been a tough year or two, that so many people have experienced loss.
Special music was presented by The Tyners.
The event is a fundraiser for the Auxiliary, which uses the proceeds to provide scholarships to students entering some facet of the medical field. Lights are purchased in memory or in honor of loved ones.
Pat James, Auxiliary volunteer, recognized sponsors and told guests that about $14,500 was raised with Lights of Love this year and that it would go to scholarships.

Every second means life and death for miners: SC
"Every second means life and death for those 15 trapped miners," Justice A. K. Sikri said, even as the Supreme Court expressed its dissatisfaction with the ongoing operations to rescue men from the flooded rat-hole mine in Meghalaya.
A Bench of Justices A.K. Sikri and S. Abdul Nazeer said the rescue efforts seemed uncoordinated. The court asked the Centre what it had done so far. "You had wanted to send high-powered pumps to Thailand [to rescue Thai boys and their teacher trapped in a cave]... Why have you not done it here?" Justice Sikri asked Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta.
Mr. Mehta responded that the Coal Minister, along with the Meghalaya Chief Minister and senior officials, was monitoring the rescue, and would appoint a nodal officer for the effort.
The court asked why the government had previously refused the Army's offer of help. "Army offered to help, but the government did not want it. Why?" Justice Sikri asked Mr. Mehta. "Instead of the Army, we have the NDRF [the National Disaster Response Force]," Mr. Mehta responded.
To which Justice Sikri told Mr. Mehta, "This is a question of life and death for the miners... Something has to be done immediately." The court asked Mr. Mehta to get instructions and return the next day.
The hearing started with Meghalaya counsel submitting that multi-agency rescue efforts are on since Dec-ember 14. He was responding to a PIL plea filed by lawyer Aditya N. Prasad.
Many Swachh Bharat toilets defunct, unusable: MPs' panel
Many toilets constructed under the Swachh Bharat Mission have already become defunct and unusable, according to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development. It slammed the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation for not bothering to find out the scope of the problem, despite an earlier recommendation to conduct a survey.
In its reply, the Ministry claimed that only toilets built under previous schemes were defunct. "Dysfunctional toilets are those which were constructed under earlier rural sanitation programme, especially during Total Sanitation Campaign, with incentive of ₹500 to ₹3,200," said the Ministry. Funds from the Finance Ministry's Swachh Bharat Kosh, which channels private and corporate money to the mission, were being used to retrofit these defunct toilets constructed under earlier schemes, it said.
However, the parliamentary panel made it clear that Swachh Bharat toilets were also dysfunctional.
The panel had recommended that the Ministry do an assessment to find out the number of such defunct toilets, and criticised the Ministry for not following the recommendation.
It had warned that the Swachh Bharat Mission's data on open defecation was suspect as defunct toilets are being counted as functional.
"The beneficiaries are in no position to avail the re-allocation of construction of toilets and still go in the open."
Improved Light Combat Aircraft gets green light for production
On December 31, Light Combat Aircraft 'Tejas' quietly progressed towards manufacture in an enhanced, battle standard format.
A new 'limited' clearance from military airworthiness certifier CEMILAC for the Indian fighter green-lights its production in a superior lethal version, multiple sources associated with the LCA programme confirmed.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limted (HAL), which is mandated to produce the LCAs for the Indian Air Force (IAF), aims to get the first aircraft out in late 2019 in the just-cleared standard, its Chairman and Managing Director R. Madhavan said.
"The lead time has become tight for us. As for the remaining aircraft, we must see how many of the 16 we can deliver by the middle of 2020," Mr. Madhavan said.
The LCA is being designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) in Bengaluru. The IAF has asked HAL to make 40 LCA aircraft. Of this, 20 will be in the advanced 'FOC' (final operational clearance) format. Another 20 are in the earlier IOC (initial operational clearance) version.
The FOC tag signals that the novice LCA is fully equipped and fit for battle. It adds many features over the IOC version, which Tejas achieved in December 2013. The IOC enabled the IAF to start flying it and in getting acquainted with its competences. Until then, only test pilots and ADA handled Tejas.
Tejas was expected to be FOC-compliant much earlier, the last two deadlines being June-end and December-end of 2018.
A higher-up in the defence set-up also confirmed the move: "It is 'almost-full' FOC. Very few additions [are there that] can be added later," the person said.
To get the final of FOC certification, the plane must have battle-time requirements — such as mid-air refuelling, AESA radar, electronic warfare suites, a variety of bombs and weapons, among others. It has passed mid-air refuelling and armament testing, while the full picture was not immediately available.
The IAF has modified and upgraded its trainer requirement in its old package order of 40 LCA aircraft.
It has opted to have all eight trainers in the FOC mode, instead of four each in IOC and FOC standards.
Maggi: SC revives suit against Nestle
The Supreme Court spelt trouble for the Indian branch of the Swiss food giant Nestle on Thursday by resuscitating a ₹640-crore class-action suit filed by the government on behalf of thousands of consumers of the iconic Maggi noodles.
The suit was filed by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution in the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) in August 2015 against Nestle India Limited on grounds of "unfair trade practices, sale of defective goods and sale of Maggi Oats Noodles to the public without product approval."
The suit was filed under Section 12(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. This provision allows the Centre or a State, either in its individual capacity or as a representative of the interests of the consumers, to file a complaint in the consumer forum.
Child care homes don't paint a rosy picture
A pan-India survey of childcare institutions (CCI) conducted by the Centre has highlighted poor safety and security measures, inadequate monitoring of these facilities, and a lack of effort to trace parents of missing children sent to these homes.
The full report of the survey titled 'Mapping and Review Exercise of Child Care Institutions', conducted between December 2015 and March 2017, was recently made public by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MoWCD).
Some of the findings of this exercise were shared last year before the Supreme Court, which took suo motu cognisance of rampant child abuse at a shelter in Muzaffarpur in Bihar.
The detailed report shows that only 46.7% of the total homes had adequate number of caregivers per child and only 28.7% centres were able to tend to inmates showing signs of hunger or illness and 65.9% of homes were able to actively supervise children under trauma, according to the report titled 'Mapping and Review Exercise of Child Care Institutions'.
The report also says that the lack of infrastructure facilities is "glaring" and finds that more than 1,000 homes did not have a dormitory for children, raising questions about sleeping arrangements made for them.
Judges under surveillance after Dec. order: lawyer
A lawyer made a sensational claim before Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi that computers and telephones of judges and "very senior" officials are under surveillance following the December 20 order allowing 10 Central agencies to snoop on people.
Advocate M.L. Sharma sought an early hearing of his PIL petition challenging the December 20 notification issued by the government, as a violation of the fundamental right to privacy.
A nine-judge Constitution Bench judgment of the Supreme Court in 2017 had directed the government to protect informational privacy of every individual. It had directed the government to carefully and sensitively balance individual privacy and the legitimate concerns of the state, even if national security was at stake.
The December 20 order allows 10 Central agencies, from the Intelligence Bureau to the Central Board of Direct Taxes to the Cabinet Secretariat (RAW) to the Commissioner of Delhi Police, to intercept, monitor and de-crypt "any information" generated, transmitted, received or stored in "any computer resource".
The government order is based on Section 69 (1) of the Information Technology Act of 2000 and Rule 4 of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Interception, Monitoring and Decryption of Information) Rules, 2009.
Judges' retirement age won't go up
The Law Ministry on Thursday said there was no proposal as of now to increase the retirement age of Supreme Court judges from 65 to 67 and of High Court judges from 62 to 65.
The Ministry was responding to the recommendation of a Parliamentary Standing Committee that raising the retirement age of judges would help retain the existing judges, which in turn would help in reducing both vacancy and pendency of cases in short run.
In August 2010, then Union Law Minister M. Veerappa Moily introduced the Constitution (114th Amendment) Bill, 2010 in the Lok Sabha.
The Bill, which sought to increase the retirement age of High Court judges to 65, could not be taken up for consideration in Parliament and lapsed with the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha.
The committee, in its report tabled in Parliament on Thursday, raised concern over the large number of vacancies of judges in High Courts.
The Ministry countered that the appointment of judges in the Supreme Court and High Courts is a continuous and collaborative process of the Judiciary and Executive.
It further stated that the time line for initiation of the proposals for filling up of vacancies is rarely adhered to by the High Courts.
As of now, out of a total approved strength of 1,079 judges in 24 High Courts across the country, only 695 posts are filled.
As per the existing memorandum of procedure (MoP), the judge appointment proposal has to be initiated by the Chief Justice of the High Court six months before the occurrence of vacancy. Within six weeks, the Chief Minister/Governor has to recommend on the proposal received from the Chief Justice.
And within four weeks, the Chief Justice of India/SC Collegium has to recommend the proposal to the Law Ministry.
Dissent note on Citizenship Bill
Members of four Opposition parties have moved a dissent note against the report of the joint committee on Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016.
The Bill proposes to give citizenship to six persecuted minorities — Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Parsis, Christians and Buddhists — from Pakistan. The Opposition members have been demanding that the Bill should be made "religion and country neutral."
The members from Assam have also been opposing it because it would pave the way for giving citizenship, mostly to illegal Hindu migrants from Bangladesh in Assam who came after March 1971, in violation of the agreement of the Assam Accord, 1985.
The Bill, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, is against the very basic fibre of the Indian society. "We stand for secularism and the Bill is just against the most basic value of our society," he said.
The committee chairman said that notwithstanding the dissent notes, the report will be tabled on January 7.
5 Rohingya deported to Myanmar
Five Rohingya, who entered Assam illegally in 2014, were on Thursday deported to Myanmar from Moreh, a border town in Manipur.
Officials said all the five were from the Buthitang area of Myanmar and had probably sneaked into India to escape ethnic violence .
An Assam police officer, who declined to be quoted, said that the Myanmar nationals had been lodged in a detention centre for foreigners at Tezpur in northcentral Assam's Sonitpur district.
The officer said that the Border Police — a unit that deals with illegal migrants — had liaised with officials in Manipur for verifying the addresses of the five with the Myanmar authorities.
"The deportation process was taken up after the five said they would like to go back home," the officer said.
An Assam Home Department official said 20 Rohingya are still lodged in the Goalpara, Tezpur and Silchar detention centres.
'Committee on Assam Accord a poll gimmick'
The Narendra Modi government's move to form a high-level committee for the effective implementation of Clause 6 of the 1985 Assam Accord has been labelled a "poll gimmick" by political parties and organisations in Assam.
Clause 6 of the Assam Accord seeks to provide "constitutional, legislative and administrative safeguards" to "protect, preserve and promote the cultural, social, linguistic identity and heritage of the Assamese people."
The All Assam Students' Union, which had ended a six-year agitation against illegal influx by signing the Assam Accord with the Centre in 1985, had a similar view. "This is an attempt to placate the Assamese people angered by the BJP's bid to pass the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016," AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya said.
China's probe lands on far side of moon, sends images
A Chinese space probe touched down on the far side of the moon on Thursday, China's space agency said, hailing the event as a historic first and a major achievement for the country's space programme.
The Chang'e-4 lunar probe, launched in December, made the "soft landing" at 02.26 GMT and transmitted the first-ever "close range" image of the far side of the moon, the China National Space Administration said.
The moon is tidally locked to Earth, rotating at the same rate as it orbits our planet, so most of the far side — or "dark side" — is never visible to us. Previous spacecraft have seen the far side, but none has landed on it.
The landing "lifted the mysterious veil" of the far side of the moon and "opened a new chapter in human lunar exploration," the agency said in a statement on its website, which included a wide-angle colour picture of a crater from the moon's surface.
The probe, which has a lander and a rover, touched down at a targeted area near the moon's south pole in the Von Karman Crater, after entering its orbit in mid-December.
The tasks of the Chang'e-4 include astronomical observation, surveying the moon's terrain, land form and mineral make-up, and measuring the neutron radiation and neutral atoms to study the environment of its far side.
'₹70,000 cr. recovery likely by March from 12 big IBC cases'
The government expects a recovery of about ₹70,000 crore from the 12 big companies that were identified for bankruptcy proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, by March 31, 2019, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley wrote in a blog on Thursday.
According to the RBI, these 12 companies are estimated to account for a quarter of the gross non-performing assets in the system, and so were identified for immediate bankruptcy proceedings.
He added that so far, 1,322 cases had been admitted by the National Company Law Tribunal. He said that the NCLT disposed of 4,452 cases at the pre-admission stage and that 66 cases had been resolved after adjudication, from which creditors had recovered about ₹80,000 crore. Another 260 cases had been ordered for liquidation.
"The early harvest through the IBC process has been extremely satisfactory," the Finance Minister added.
The selection of new management has been transparent, he said, adding that there had been no political or governmental interference in the cases.
Mr. Jaitley explained that the effectiveness of the IBC process was arising out of three factors. The first was that debtors were beginning to pay their dues in anticipation of a potential default in order to avoid the prospect of them being removed from management.
The second is that once a creditor's petition has been filed with the NCLT, the debtors have been paying at the pre-admission stage to prevent the declaration of insolvency. Thirdly, many major cases of insolvency have already been resolved or are being moved to liquidation.
Ease capital requirements for banks: House panel
A parliamentary panel on Thursday asked the central bank to ease its rules on capital requirements for banks so that they can increase lending.
The report comes after the government and some of the board members of the RBI have put pressure on the central bank to relax capital requirements for banks as they seek to boost credit and economic growth.
Former RBI governor Urjit Patel, who quit last month, opposed the government's demand for lowering capital requirements and warned about the need for a cushion to offset unexpected risks.
Indian banks are required to maintain a minimum capital to risk weighted asset ratio (CRAR) at 9%, against the global Basel-III requirement of 8%. On top of that, they have to keep a capital conservation buffer that is supposed to climb to 2.5% by March 2019.
The rollback of additional capital requirements could release about ₹5.34 trillion ($76 billion) into the economy by releasing capital for lending.
The ratings agencies have warned against dilution of capital norms for banks.
Saswata Guha, country director, financial institutions, at Fitch Ratings, said capital ratios for many banks were well below global standards and any relaxation could prove detrimental to banks and their ability to absorb unexpected losses.

Q: Does invoking a constructor mean creating object? When we create a Subclass object which extends an abstract class, the abstract class constructor also runs . But we know we cannot create objects of an abstract class. Hence does it mean that even if a constructor completes running without any exception, there is no guarantee whether an object is created?

A:
But we know we cannot create objects of an Abstract class

Right but JVM can.

does it mean that even if a constructor completes running without any exception , there is no guarantee whether an object is created ?

The object is definitely created internally.

Does invoking a constructor mean creating object?

Not always. you can invoke constructor using super() and this() but it won't instantiate an object. (but will just invoke the constructor)
class AClass
{
    AClass()
    {
        this(1); // will invoke constructor, but no object instatiated.
    }

    AClass(int a)
    {

    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        AClass obj = new AClass(); // one object instantiated.
    }
}

A:
Hence does it mean that even if a constructor completes running
  without any exception, there is no guarantee whether an object is
  created?

Simply speaking, a constructor does not create an object. It just initializes the state of the object. It's the new operator which creates the object. Now, let's understand this in little detail.
When you create an object using statement like this:
new MyClass();

The object is first created by the new operator. Just before a reference to the newly created object is returned as the result, the indicated constructor is processed to initialize the new object.

Now consider the case of Abstract class and it's concrete SubClass, when you do like this:
AbstractClass obj = new ConcreteClass();

new operator creates an object of ConcreteClass, and invokes its constructor to initialize the state of the created object. In this process, the constructor of the abstract class is also called from the ConcreteClass constructor, to initialize the state of the object in the abstract class.
So, basically the object of AbstractClass is not created. It's just that it's constructor is invoked to initialize the state of the object.
Lessons Learnt:

*

*The object is created by new operator, and not by the invocation of the constructor itself. So, the object is already created before any constructor is invoked.

*Constructor is just used to initialize the state of the object created. It does not create an object itself.

*An object state can also be contained in an abstract super class.

*So, the purpose of invocation of Abstract class constructor, is only to initialize the object completely, and no object is created in process.

See:

*

*Creation of new Class Instance - JLS-Section#12.5

A: Barring any exceptions, the abstract class constructor is only run from within the subclass's constructor (as the first statement). Therefore you can be sure that every time a constructor is run, it is in the process of creating an object.
That said, you may call more than one constructor in the process of creating a single object, such as Subclass() calling Subclass(String) which calls AbstractClass via a super()call, and so forth.

A: Subclass == BaseClass + Extras you add in sub class
Thus when you create a subclass by calling its constructor, there is a call to base class constructor as well to make sure that all attributes (of the base class) are also properly initialized.

A: You can only call the abstract class constructor as a part of a concrete subclass constructor. This is OK, since the abstract class is extended into a concrete class and it is an object of that concrete class that is being created.

A: This is how the flow works when you invoke the constructor of your subclass:

*

*Constructor of Abstract class runs --> the object is half initialized here.

*Constructor of subclass finishes execution --> The object is fully initialized and hence completely   created here.

A: When you invoke a constructor using new, a new object is being created.
Now, as you probably already know, every constructor of any subclass, either implicitly or explicitly, directly or indirectly, invokes a constructor from the parent class (which, in turns, invokes one from its own parent class, all the way up to object). This is called constructor chaining.
The above, however doesn't mean that multiple objects are created. The object has been created at the new call and all constructors working on that object are already handed an allocated area. Therefore, constructor chaining does not create new objects. One call to new will return you one object.

A: I am completely disagree that the object for an abstract class can not be created and only jvm can does it in case of Inheritance even a programmer can do it a t times whenever or wherever he/she intends to do so by using the concept of anonymous class:
Look at this code and try it by your Own
abstract class Amit{
void hai()
{System.out.print("Just Wanna say Hai");}
abstract void hello();
}
class Main{
stic public void main(String[]amit)
{
Amit aa=new Amit(){
void hello(){Sstem.out.print("I actually dont say hello to everyone");
}};
aa.hello(); }}

She knows he watches her. She can feel the weight of his gaze, and it sets a slow, deep fire in her soul. Unable to help herself, she adds an extra sway in her step, draws herself into a more dignant posture, and sends a flirtatious smile to a cute guy across the room.
Really, she shouldn't tease him like this, but part of her argues that it's only fair. He treats her far worse. At the thought of his treatment, she frowns, and an angry energy comes into her step. Frowning, she makes her way out of the building and slips out to car; even as she drives away, she can feel him staring at her.
Oh, she's in it when she gets home. A terrifyingly-exhilirating mixture of excitement, anger, and fear race through her, and she has to fight against pressing harder on the gas and speeding home. Still, her grip tightens until her knuckles are white. Finally, though, she arrives at her small, out-of-the-way house, and her observer stands casually in her doorway as if he's been there this entire time.
"Leo," she frostily greets as she exits the car, but the fire in her soul has spread throughout her body. She feels as though she could set her house alight with a single touch, yet she gives the tall man the cold shoulder as she glides up to her locked door. Such a contradiction of temperatures; how can she act so cold when she's burning alive?
"Rose," he softly greets, his voice an odd mixture of anger and fondness. She stiffens at his tone, and her eyes narrow as she stabs the key into the lock. He's angry? Despite knowing what she was coming home to, indignation floods her and feeds the fire into a roaring beast. Flinging her door open, she stalks indoors and flings her heels off. Behind her, Leo quietly walks in and softly shuts the door; his anger has always been quiet, soft, calm. Much different than her volcanic rage.
Just another thing she hates but loves about him. In all situations, he is calm and collected, the perfect illusion of control, whereas she is untamed passion, the perfect reality of lack of contact. It pisses her off how stupidly calm he can be, yet she admires him for it, which pisses her off even more.
Everything pisses her off. She welcomes the anger with open arms as she stares into his honey-brown eyes. They reflect the fire within her, and she struggles to hold onto the fury. As if sensing her weakness, he steps forward and tenderly caresses her cheek. She leans into the touch before snapping back to her senses and slapping his hand away; he watches, amused, as she strides across the room to get away from him and his stupid touches.
"No!" she snaps. "You can't keep striding in her, buttering me up with a few soft touches and some tender words, and leaving without a word in the morning!" Her words are harsh, angry, and bitter, but there's an underlying sense of pain and hurt. As much as she tries to hide it, she loves the man just as much as she hates him—maybe even more. Definitely more. While her hate can be smoothed away with a few sweet words, no amount of bitterness or abandonment can chase away her love.
He knows it, too. With a sigh, he leans against her counter and regards with a slightly condescending look as if she's a child throwing a fit. Stop this game, his gaze says, and give in to me like we both know you will. He, however, doesn't put these thoughts into words; instead, he says, "Rose, you know I am a busy man. I can't stay." His words are even more condescending, and she bites back a scream of frustration.
"Stop treating me like a child!" she hisses. Her chest heaves with emotions, and he regards her with a cool look that only strokes the flames burning just beneath her skin. She knows that he's busy being a god or whatever, but she's good enough for more than a night of love! Right?
"Then stop acting like one. If I could visit more often, I would. You know that, Rose," he explains softly, but his tone and gaze have lost their condescending edge. She frowns; does she, though? Her flames are slowly smothered by a blanket of self-doubt, and she turns away from him to keep the god from seeing her weakness.
"Do I?" she snaps back, but her anger is forced and has lost much of its fire. She craves his touch, yearns for his comfort, needs all of him, but she can't let him see that. Not yet. Maybe it would be easier to just welcome him with open arms every time he visited, but her pride won't allow it.
"Yes, you do. I'm not the one with another lover," he quips back, and she whirls around at his accusation. The dying fire has been reignited, and this time he rises to meet her in her passion. Usually, the anger in his eyes would be enough to make her back down; this time is different. This time he's accused her of cheating. He has accused her! In her anger, she strides forth, closer to him, and sends him a scatching glare.
"Oh? Really now? Have you ever seen me with anyone else? I've been faithful! I haven't—why would you—I can't believe you would say that!" she splutters, too worked up to even speak. It hurts because she really has been faithful. Even if she doesn't think he's coming back, she doesn't touch another man, and it hurts that he doesn't recognize that. Why does she even bother?
"I—well," he stutters for something to say, and the fire blazes higher with every failed attempt at speaking. He stares down at her and bites his lip. She stares up at him and narrows her eyes. Neither one speak for a few moments, but she eventually breaks away and paces angrily across the floor.
"Do I need to remind you, Rose? I love you. Only you, and no one else. I'm sorry," he softly tells her as he walks across the room. His arms wrap around her waist; she stiffens but leans into his touch. As she turns around and wraps her arms around his broad shoulders in a tight, possessive hug, tears leak from her eyes and wet the fabric of his shirt. They stand in silence, both clinging onto each other as if this is their last night.
It could be. Every time he leaves, she knows that she might never see him again, and the pain of uncertainty haunts her always. For now, though, she pushes those thoughts and away and instead pulls away to lead the god to her room. If it's their last night, she will make the most of it.
After their night of passion, she fights against sleep, but it eventually claims her. He stays awake, though, and watches over her as she sleeps. He thinks about if they'll ever meet again, and as the sun rises, he thinks about just staying with her and never leaving. As always, though, he gives her one last fond look before walking out the door and promising that next time he'll stay.
Even the stars seem foreign and cold. Shivering, I wrap the blanket tighter around my form and hunch closer to myself, but I don't bother to move towards the warmth of the fire where everyone else sleeps. A muttered spell increases the warmth of the blanket slightly, but in the end I'm still sitting sitting on top of a snow-covered igloo. How warm can I get?
"You should be asleep," Zyran remarks as he climbs up beside me, and I roll my eyes. He holds out a blanket, though, so I scoot over to give him room beside me. After a bit of shuffling, we're both situated under the warm blankets and staring up at the Kryous sky. Stars glitter, each one marking the existence of a realm; my eyes settle on Eroan, the brightest one.
Isn't it odd how the artificial realm is the brightest one? The magic forces of all those people shining across the space between realms, a beacon to any lost or wandering soul… does it really mean anything? I frown and let my eyes wander across all the other stars in an attempt to find answers to questions that have been unanswered for centuries.
"Do you think that there's a reason to live?" I whisper, turning to the hybrid sitting next to me. His black eyes stare into mine, and I can only handle the intenseness of his gaze for a few seconds before I look back up at the clear sky. Thankfully, the famed snowstorms of Kyrous haven't hit us yet, but it's bound to happen soon.
"No. But I'm not sure I'm the person you should be asking," he responds, his voice a mixture of amusement and meloncholy. Sighing, I huddle closer to myself under the blanket. It's so cold. Isn't it fitting, though? We've been essentially banished; everyone we've ever known and loved is either dead or has turned their back on us.
And it's my fault. Swallowing thickly, I take a deep breath and try to distract myself from the thoughts of the past, and as a distraction, I ask, "Is there a reason to die?" Zyran hums in thought, and a particularly cold wind blows past. A shudder racks my body; it's so cold! The blankets seem to barely help. How can it be so cold?
Too focused on the chill in my body, I don't notice as Zyran shifts closer until he wraps an arm around my shoulders, and I tense up. He begins to pull away, worried that he freaked me out, but I huddle closer against him. For the warmth, of course. We sit, just starting at the stars, and I forget that I even asked him a question until he answers me.
"No," he begins, "I don't think so. There can't be a reason for something so destructive. Besides, if life doesn't have a reason, death wouldn't either to keep the world balanced." He seems more secure about this answer, and I wonder how many times he's thought about it. Just how much death has he seen? I glance over at him, and maybe it's my imagination or the reflection of the stars but it feels like I can see the dying souls reflected in his black eyes, his own pain hiding right behind.
"Yeah," I whisper, unable to say anything else. Zyran doesn't seem to mind, and we stare at each other, just analyzing the emotions in the other's eyes. Once again, I find myself intimidated by the intensity, and I return my gaze to the stars once again. Now that I'm warm, the exhaustion of the day catches up to me, and my mouth splits into a huge yawn.
"Sleep, Droenix. You'll need your energy," Zyran softly informs me, and as my eyelids slip shut, I shift to be comfortable resting on the male next to me. Before I can even really think about what I'm doing, I'm drifting off into the first real sleep I've had in a week.
It's also probably the only real sleep I'll have for a while. These next few months are going to be rough; who knows when we can go back home? How long will we be outcasted? Will they ever accept us? These thoughts swirl around my head as I fall asleep, and I gratefully welcome the ultimate, thoughtless oblivion of sleep. Later I can worry; now I must rest.
He hates the way she smiles. It sets his blood on fire, how happy she can look, and sometimes, he gets the urge to--oh, she irritates him so much, it's not his fault. He's not crazy.
He just can't stand her. Not anymore. It's been four months since she smiled at him like that. How unfair is it? Since when can you just smile like that at everyone? It's--it's--it's a sin! A crime!
Christ, he sounds insane. He lets out a breathless laugh, looks down at the picture of her, and shakes his head. Maybe four months ago, when he had been so in love and so euphoric, but not anymore.
He was crazy for loving her, sane for hating her.
But is this level of hatred warranted? He frowns, looks back down at the picture--of course. She violated their relationship, lied to him, deceived him into thinking their love was real! Then she had the nerve to blame it on him! It's his fault for not loving her like he should have, when he loved her more completely than anyone else could have ever hoped to achieve! He worshipped the ground she walked on, lavished her with affection, sacrificed everything for her--what did he not do for her?
A small, angry huff escapes him, and his hand tightens into fist at his side. He tries to keep a hold on his control, a hold on his emotions--God, he's so tired of losing control. He just wants to be normal again. He wants to forget he ever loved her, yet something keeps those memories at the very front of his mind, assaulting at every chance they get.
He hates her. More than he ever loved her because love is weaker than hate, hate is stronger and hotter and better and he should have never wasted his time with her. She wasted his time, he wasted her time, they screwed each other over--no, wait, no!
It's all her fault! He barks out a rough laugh and bangs his hand on the table. The picture rattles and falls over--distractedly, he picks it up and rights it. Four months ago, she stood in front of him and tried to excuse her despicable actions, as if there's any excuse.
Me, he bitterly remembers. Her excuse was me. Me and my supposed coldness. How else was I supposed to love her? Why did she not--how could she have just accepted all I have and everything I am and still want more?
So, yes. He hates the way she smiles because she used to smile at him just like that, except apparently not really because he wasn't good enough. It boils his blood that he wasn't good enough but someone far, far inferior to him is!
Or supposedly is. Maybe he isn't good enough. Maybe nobody is good enough for Her Majesty, maybe she's just lying to everyone with her stupid, stupid smile.
He hates the way that smile still makes his heart do flips and his knees weaken, desperate to bow before her and beg for forgiveness, to grovel on the ground before her. He hates how that smile brings back memories, except all of those memories are fake because she never loved him. He hates the way her smile still deceives him.
He hates the way he loves her.
Sometimes, like now, he truly does hate her. He wants to see her burn, slowly--he wants to destroy her very being and savor every moment of beautiful, cruel destruction. Only pure, writhing, burning hatred exists, and it takes over his mind, staining his vision red and threatening to destroy his sanity.
Other times, he just wants to bury himself in her center and drown in her essence; he loves and needs her so completely, so desperately, that he wants to devour her, simply so she will finally be his. He wants to destroy her in an entirely different way, and it comes so strongly that it blurs the edges of reality--there she is, her and her stupid smile, across the street when she should be at home under her boyfriend's brother.
This dichotomy between love and hate--he can't stand it. Oh, how horrible it is. Hating hate just breeds more hate, and hating love? Peace of mind has become the faintest whisper, somebody he might have known four months ago but whose memory now only lingers at the very edges of his mind.
Please, he just wants some rest. With a soft sigh, all the hate vanishes, back again to Pandora's Box until he cracks it open once again, and in its wake, a void, gaping and black and mysterious, appears.
What is better--to simultaneously feel infernal hatred and divine love or to feel nothing at all?
Perhaps neither. Perhaps both. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps--his life, just a bunch of maybes and unsurities.
Maybe it was his fault. Maybe it wasn't. Maybe he's crazy. Maybe he's not. Maybe she never existed, maybe she always existed, maybe none of this even happened and he's actually just hallucinated this entire thing, sitting in some white padded room somewhere. A comforting thought, really.
Can anything even be considered real? He hates the question, still he numbly slips down the wall and brings his knees to his chest to better ponder such existential questions.
Are love and hate real? They are not tangible, not quantitative--you can't say you have a thousand love units versus four hundred hate units. They both exist in relatives, relative to each other and other such intangible emotions. Love more than hate, hate more than love--what does it even mean?
How pathetic is he? A sharp, self-pitying laugh breaks him out of his existential crisis, and he struggles to his feet, the weight of his love-hate still weighing him down. Once again, he looks down at her picture, at her smiling face, at her arm around his waist.
Calmly, he picks her picture up and studies it. He takes in the way her blue eyes crinkle, the way her dark brown hair seems like liquid chocolate, how happy she seems to be standing next to him. Then, he turns around, looks down at the picture once again--and hurls it across the room. It hits the wall and then the floor, landing face up.
The glass has cracked and broken off; over his face, there's so many cracks his features are illegible. Her smiling face, though, shines clearly through all the broken glass.
